Chapter Seventy-Four: Just Walking
Lao Bao and Xiao Bao hurriedly said goodbye to Lao Zhang's barbershop, ended this somewhat embarrassing situation, and left the harmful smoke.
At this time, the sun has broken out of the skyline, half-hanging in the sky, casting a golden bright light outward, shining warmly on people's bodies.
Today seems to be blowing a warm current, so there is a rare warm weather in the late autumn and winter season.
At this time, people are willing to come out to breathe, warm their bodies, and stretch to their heart's content without worrying about frostbite - people who often don't have enough to eat can easily freeze to death suddenly.
There is nothing to do today, Lao Bao asked for leave in Qin Mansion, Xiao Bao has no class, it is rare to be leisurely, and Bao's father and son can come out together to breathe.
The last time we went out shopping together was about three or four years ago.
Lao Bao's legs are finally more comfortable today, and there is no longer a faint knife-like pain when he walks - maybe it's not just because the temperature is warmer, but because he can accompany Bao Guowei to buy books, even if he walks a lot, he doesn't feel pain.
"Guowei, what's going on in this foreign school? Is it difficult to take the course? Classmates ......"
Walking and walking, Lao Bao wanted to find a topic to talk about.
Bao Guowei is a person who doesn't like to talk, and he often goes to school recently, so he doesn't stay at home, and Lao Bao has already held back a lot of questions to ask him.
However, when it comes to school, Lao Bao has a little inferiority complex in his heart - he is so much worse than their father.
"This new school still has the ability, and all the students in it are taught practical learning, and the students inside are actually no different from the people outside."
Bao Guowei carried his hands behind his back, looking like a magnificent young master, he looked at the beautiful scenery on the road and replied casually.
Hearing Bao Guowei's words, the pedestrians on the side of the road turned their eyes sideways, and when they saw that his dress was too fashionable, they hurriedly looked away, and they didn't dare to discuss.
……
To say that the industry is backward is not without benefits, at least there can be clear blue sky, clean lake water - pristine ecology, no need to worry about what chemical waste is discharged in it.
The roads in the city are paved with a mixture of clay, fine sand, and lime, which is very smooth and must be able to drive unobstructed by the owner of the car.
There are many water lakes in Suzhou, the warm sunlight is sprinkled on the water surface, the water surface is sparkling, the golden light is shining, this scene is not as good as calling "Golden Lake".
Some people sit by the lake and fish, and if they catch one, they can have a full meal.
The two crossed the bridge and walked down the street, and they didn't count the pedestrians they encountered, but most of them were poorly dressed, and their faces were yellow, highlighting their bones—especially the cheekbones and jaws, which were often only covered with a layer of skin, and even the shape of the bones could be seen clearly.
Early in the morning, a man carried a load of meat such as chickens and ducks, ready to be sold at the market.
People who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders, and people who raise chickens and ducks generally can't eat meat, unless they are opening farms, otherwise the chicken and duck tax alone can teach people to eat bran and drink thin.
Not to mention the fact that there are many projects to pay manure tax and grain and grass tax to the livestock, and it is also necessary to prevent livestock diseases.
There are also vendors who sell breakfast at their stalls, and in the south of the city, they sell nothing more than some gruel and other miscellaneous grains.
Bao Guowei has never seen a shop that sells bran rice, because really poor people don't come out to buy something to eat, even if it's just to save half a penny, they have to make their own rice.
Of course, no matter what business ordinary people do, in addition to a large amount of taxes to pay, protection fees must also be paid, otherwise some people will find that the stalls they rely on for their livelihood will be snatched away, and the livelihood items that the family has scraped together will be gone.
But this is a sight exclusive to the poor area.
In short, it is really difficult for ordinary people to make a little money, otherwise there would not be so many people who want to get a job in a sweatshop.
I didn't meet any dead people this time, otherwise Bao Guowei would have felt that he was really evil.
When you walk to the west of the city, you will see a lot of people dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and there are major shops, stock exchanges, restaurants and restaurants lined up on the side of the road, which can see the heritage of this big city.
The government soldiers here not only wear black uniforms, but also wear police caps on their heads, and most of them do not carry long guns, but short guns, pinned to their waists, which look more elegant.
Speaking of Suzhou's security is actually very well maintained, after all, it is also a famous big city, although there was a raging gang fire some time ago, and it was also selected to appear in the early hours of the night.
During this time, most people are asleep, stay at home, and most of the people who go outside are thieves and lepers.
Therefore, the imitation M1899 pistol that Bao Guowei once bought with Zhang Si or Wu has not been useful until now, and it has cost tens of thousands of oceans.
However, it is necessary to buy a gun, even if you buy it as a collection, it is not a loss, and you may be able to use it one day.
There were people who earned a living in the streets to earn money, not juggling with boulders on their chests or throwing apples—long since they were obsolete, and now people like to watch more energetically.
What can attract people's attention is the sword, or the porcelain piece and the like, and it is not allowed to use fakes, the sword must eat the real sword, and the porcelain piece must eat the real porcelain piece.
This is undoubtedly very dangerous, but it is also a skill that can make money, and if you want to learn it, your family will have to pay tuition fees to the master, and then like a hard-working slave, you can serve the master beautifully for a few years before it is expected to be taught.
A teenager wearing a white shirt that is easy to exercise is blessed today and does not have to perform in the cold wind.
The child stood upside down on the wooden fork with both hands, and the weight of his whole body was concentrated on his hands, so his hands were poked by the wooden fork and deformed.
The child stood upside down with his head upside down, carrying a dozen large porcelain bowls, taller than the child's body, and there were people next to him who were still adding one by one.
So the crowd watched and laughed:
"One more! Add one more! ”
Someone shouted, street acting is a gambling contract, in order to attract people's attention.
If the bowl is topped, the broken porcelain piece must be eaten.
A man with a top hat casually threw out a dollar, which jingled, so the old man next to him played with a smile and stretched his waist.
However, this money still has to be divided with the people of the three religions and nine ranks, and only those who have mixed up with some famous people can hire some thugs to defend their rights and interests.
And Bao Guowei has no intention of looking at these, he just wants to understand the basic chemistry thoroughly in a short period of time and put forward the Hou's alkali method - it is best to contact Mr. Hou Debang through the Chu family to complete this work together.
Relying on Bao Guowei alone, if he wants to write a complete and practical paper, I am afraid that he may not be able to complete it in a few years, and even if he is forced to write it, it will be full of flaws.
