Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 14 Go to Accountant Zhao’s house to find a wife



A place like the pedestrian street has a lot of people, which is simply wonderful for Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng's mouth watered when he saw braised pork heads in a place selling braised vegetables.

Boiled peanuts and some vegetarian cold dishes only cost eight yuan a pound. If you come here and buy vegetables for ten yuan, you can cook and eat for a whole day.

Chicken cakes cost ten yuan a pound, as well as other types of pastries. You must know that the pastries are not sold in the supply and marketing cooperative in their town. You have to go to the city to find them. And it’s not available to ordinary people. It’s made of eggs and flour, and you have to ask for a pastry ticket.

Luo Cheng felt that a piece of chicken cake could swindle some girls in the city, and it only cost ten yuan a pound. There were also fruits, many of which he had never seen or heard of before. It's like a new world. With a place like this, it doesn't matter how many tables you have to host.

Now Luo Cheng should exercise restraint and keep a low profile when it comes to the banquet. Because in his own era, it was not possible to buy things casually if you had money. If it was okay a few years ago, it was not yet implemented that corresponding bills were required to purchase things. In 1955, the first thing that appeared was food stamps. This was to prevent food prices from rising. Some people hoarded food and sold it at high prices.

And in 55 years, the first version of the currency was discontinued. The reason for deactivating the first version of currency is that the face value is too large and difficult to calculate, and it is also aimed at a certain group of people.

Luo Cheng still had more than fifty yuan in his own time, but most of the food bills were taken away by his parents, saying that his sister-in-law was still breastfeeding after all and needed nutrition.

Although you can buy things on the black market without a ticket, buying things on the black market depends on luck. You can't just buy whatever you want.

"It seems that I have to go to the city. I pretend to have bought a big pig's head from the city. This dish is tough enough. Then I will stew a chicken, a plate of peanuts on the table, stir-fried pork slices with mushrooms, and finally a green vegetable. Finally. Standard, it may not be better than my own to hold a banquet in the city."

Looking at the dazzling pedestrian street, Luo Cheng was thinking in his mind. In the end, I bought a pound of cake here, but nothing else. There is food on the street here, but it is not as affordable as a box lunch. I have already spent a lot today, and I have to live a luxurious life in a certain way.

Instead of going back to eat at the entrance of the construction site immediately, he squatted at the street entrance with a cake and watched. It was a hot day, and there were many young girls walking around in thin clothes. Damn it, in my own era, if a woman dared to dress like this, she could call the police and arrest her. After squatting for a long time, I found that apart from the revealing clothes, there were actually not many good-looking people.

"Master Wang said that marrying a daughter-in-law costs at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. They can't all be ordinary-looking. They are much better than the rural people of his time. Most of the rural women of his time were skinny and short. But. Occasionally, there are a few women who look like flowers, such as Zhao Qian who is about to become his wife."

He scratched his crotch, made an internal evaluation, and then got up and went back to the construction site. When eating, he still packed a packed lunch. And this time he had a late meal, and the lunch seller gave him a surprise. The stall was about to be closed down, so he could order two lunch boxes. If there were enough dishes, all the dishes would be served in one portion. The rice was also given to three portions. Let him take it back to the construction site to eat.

It was purely an unexpected gain. Although it was a little cold, Luo Cheng didn't care at all.

Back in his dormitory, Luo Cheng simply ate some, and there were other things in the remaining lunch boxes. He was planning to take them back to his own time.

I was lying on the bed playing with my mobile phone. This new mobile phone with a new circuit board was different. The battery cells were consumed very slowly. But before sleep came, there was a snapping sound outside the house.

It was raining, and it was quite heavy. The sound of hitting the colored steel plate was very loud.

After watching the video for a while, Luo Cheng began to fall asleep with the sound of raindrops.

As soon as you close your eyes and open them, a day passes. As soon as Luo Cheng opened his eyes, the wooden roof came into view, and he returned to his own time.

Ten pounds of wine, chicken cakes, and the remaining lunch boxes were all brought over. Pour the wine into the newly purchased wine jar, and put the cakes in sealed jars. His few bowls were packed with lunch boxes and other things, and he saw a few worn-out bowls at home. I have to buy some bowls. I need them for the banquet.

After the things were taken care of, including the corpses and traces removed, a fire was made to burn the plastic wine barrel bags and foam lunch boxes.

After getting everything done, logically, he should go to the mountain to look for traps again. Life after the separation has been like this, but thinking that I am about to marry a wife, I look at my home and it seems a bit shabby. The only stool is missing legs. This couldn't be changed in the past, and sometimes hard work might not have much effect. There were many people who worked harder than him, and those who didn't have enough to eat didn't mean they didn't have enough to eat.

Touching his crotch, Luo Cheng thought of a problem. It seemed that if someone was dating, even if they met on a blind date, the man and woman would still communicate with each other. The next step is for the matchmakers to inquire about each other's opinions. Although many people in rural areas just communicate once or twice and then get married and live together.

But there seems to be something wrong with the process here, because I know that going to a matchmaker to propose a marriage is a process, and Accountant Zhao originally agreed to marry his daughter to him. But the process of communicating with his daughter seems to have been omitted. There is no point in going up the mountain alone every day. How about going to Accountant Zhao's house to call his daughter out and go for a walk together in the mountain.

"Yes, go find your wife. If Accountant Zhao dares not to agree, regardless of whether he is the father-in-law or not, I will call Ergouzi to tie him up with a sack at night."

Luo Cheng sat on the three-legged stool and was thinking about what to do to find Zhao Qian. Going to the mountain alone didn't make much sense. He was just going up the mountain to pass the time out of boredom. With the money he earned in the future, it wouldn't take long for him to live in this life. I don’t have to worry about eating or drinking.

Of course, it’s not a good idea to go to Zhao Qian empty-handed. Bringing chicken and cake is better than anything else. But looking at the chicken cakes put in the jar, it seems that there is nothing to put it in, so I can't just hold it in a jar. Those who sell pastries in the city always pack them in oil paper.

After thinking about it, Luo Cheng went to find his neighbor next door again. This time he didn't call him Lao Zhang, but his family's Da Mao and Er Mao. With a handful of fried peanuts each, the two children immediately ran barefoot to the pond that was not too far away. There are wild lotus leaves over there, which can be used to wrap things after cleaning them.

In the countryside, if we get some meat to go to visit relatives or something, we always wrap it in lotus leaves. It’s not necessary when the weather is cool, you can just wear it with straw rope. However, there are many bugs and flies in hot weather. Wrapping in lotus leaves will not cause the surface moisture of the meat to lose and dry out, and it can also prevent mosquito bites. It's also good to wrap the egg cake in lotus leaves. If you catch something on the mountain, you can wrap it in lotus leaves and cook it on the ground.

In less than half an hour, Da Mao and Er Mao came back. Obviously, Da Mao must have been in the water and his pants were wet. The lotus leaves are all picked by the big ones, and each of them eats a small handful of fried peanuts as a snack, which can last for a day. You have to chew every peanut carefully and wait until the taste is gone before eating another one.

The lotus leaves were simply cleaned and processed, then dried and packed into a few packages of egg cakes. Afraid of squeezing, one big lotus leaf can wrap three. After wrapping it up, I tied it up with a rope and went out. I fed the pheasants before leaving. Don't starve to death, you have to hold on for a few more days.
