The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 365 Traveling through the world of little women

I don't know how much time passed, but when Yan Jiecheng woke up again, he felt that his eyes were completely dark.

So Yan Jiecheng quickly took out his phone from the space, turned on the screen and turned on the flashlight, using the bright light to look at the surrounding environment.

It turned out that I was in a dilapidated room. The whole room was only about ten square meters. In addition to a wooden bed that was about to fall apart under me, there was also a dining table, two chairs, and an iron stove.

Seeing this scene, although Yan Jiecheng didn't know what era he was in, the only thing he could be sure of was that it was after liberation, because there was a portrait of a great man hanging above the table.

After seeing this, Yan Jiecheng felt relieved. Fortunately, he hadn't traveled back in time to the era of war, otherwise he would probably die if he had such a small body.

After feeling relieved, Yan Jiecheng got up from the bed and walked down. He opened the door with his cell phone and looked outside the door.

Although he didn't know where he was, seeing this courtyard, Yan Jiecheng guessed that he was still in the capital.

After all, Siheyuan is not found everywhere. Although there are some in other places, the architectural style is completely different from that of Siheyuan in Beijing.

Since it was still night, the surroundings were dark, and there was nothing interesting to see, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to retreat.

There wasn't even a wall clock in the room, and Yan Jiecheng didn't know the specific time. Although there was a watch in the space, it might not be accurate after such a long time.

After thinking about it, he decided to go back to sleep and wait until tomorrow morning to discuss anything else. So Yan Jiecheng went back to bed, covered himself with a moldy quilt and fell asleep.

…………

Early the next morning, before Yan Jiecheng woke up, he was disturbed by sounds outside.

"Xie Cheng, Xie Cheng, get up, I am a hadron."

Hearing the sound outside, Yan Jiecheng sat up and thought, it seems that the name here has not changed in this life.

"Yan Jiecheng, are you up? Come out quickly. If you don't come out, I will leave with Quan Wu."

"Oh, get up now." After saying this, Yan Jiecheng quickly picked up the clothes next to him and put them on.

When Yan Jiecheng got dressed and walked out of the house, he was a little stunned when he saw the person in front of him. Isn't this the Qiangzi from the TV series "The Little Woman from the Zhengyang Gate"? Could it be that he has time-traveled into this TV series again?

"What are you doing? Let's go quickly. Quan Wu is still waiting outside." Qiangzi saw Yan Jiecheng come out and looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help but push Yan Jiecheng with his hand.

"Oh, oh, where are we going?"

"Where are you going? Go do some work, otherwise what will you eat?" Qiangzi didn't react when he heard Yan Jiecheng's words.

"Oh, let's go then." Yan Jiecheng said and followed Qiangzi out of the courtyard.

As soon as he left the courtyard, Yan Jiecheng saw Cai Quanwu sitting on a pallet waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.

"What are you two doing? Why did it take you so long to come out?"

"Ask him, I've been shouting at the door for a long time and he still won't come out." Qiangzi said while pointing at Yan Jiecheng.

Hearing Qiangzi's words, Yan Jiecheng could only smile awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I slept a little late yesterday."

"Okay, let's go to the alley to have a bowl of tofu pudding first, and then go to work later." After hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Cai Quanwu waved his hand for the two of them to get in the car.

Although he didn't know why there were three people in one car, Yan Jiecheng didn't ask any more questions. He still understood that talking too much would lead to mistakes. After all, he had just come to this world and hadn't figured out everything yet, so it was better to be safe.

The three of them came to the breakfast stall at the entrance of the alley and chatted while eating breakfast.

Through chatting with the two of them, Yan Jiecheng also had some understanding of his current situation.

His name in this world is still Yan Jiecheng. He is twenty-two years old this year. Like Qiangzi, his hometown is protected by the city. The two of them came to the capital after liberation.

The only difference from Qiangzi is that there is no one left in his hometown, leaving him alone as a polished commander.

Yan Jiecheng is very satisfied with this identity. Although being alone seems pitiful to others, it is the best thing for Yan Jiecheng.

This cart was also bought by Qiangzi. Cai Quanwu and I usually work at the grain depot, so we would use Qiangzi's cart to do the work when nothing happened.

What can I say about Qiangzi? Apart from being a bit lazy and greedy, he treats his friends pretty well. The two of them used Qiangzi’s

Qiangzi didn't collect money from the two of them when doing truck work, but the two would occasionally invite Qiangzi to a tavern for a drink.

The courtyard where Yan Jiecheng lives now was also divided by the government after liberation. Unlike before, this courtyard is just a courtyard with four other families living there besides himself.

After breakfast, the three of them went to the street and waited boredly for customers to come to their door.

We have just entered 1955, and the public-private partnership has not yet begun. The shops in Dashilan are all privately run, and the three of them have no fixed jobs.

If there is work, take it, and when there is no work, just take a break. Anyway, you can't save much money throughout the year, otherwise Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu would not be able to find wives at such an old age.

Yan Jiecheng and Cai Quanwu had jobs at the grain station, so they only had work from Friday to Sunday, and spent Monday to Thursday hanging out with Qiangzi.

Even when there was work at the grain depot, they could only earn at most one yuan a day. Even though Yan Jiecheng and Cai Quanwu were in good health and strong, most people could only earn a few cents.

The three of them waited from morning until noon, during which time Cai Quanwu did a delivery job to a shoe store. The 20 cents they earned were not enough for breakfast for the three of them.

After chatting with Qiangzi all morning, Yan Jiecheng also gained some understanding of the plot lines of this world.

At this point in time, the plot has not yet begun. Xu Huizhen has just married He Yongqiang. It is not known whether she is pregnant or not. Chen Xueru is also in a similar situation to Xu Huizhen.

After lunch, Yan Jiecheng said goodbye to the two of them. Anyway, he had plenty of supplies in his space, and he didn't care whether he made money or not.

Just find a valid reason to take things out of the space.

Yan Jiecheng returned to his home in the courtyard and frowned at the pile of rags in the house. It was going to be winter soon and there was not even a thick quilt in the house.

I don’t know how the original person got around in the past few years. The most urgent thing at hand now is to quickly cash in the materials in the space.

The only good thing is that the country's market management is not very strict now. Yan Jiecheng thought about taking out a gold bar to exchange for some money first.

As for the rest, let's wait. Thinking of this, Yan Jiecheng closed the door of the room and went directly to the pawn shop.

As for why you don’t go to the bank, the main reason is that banks are now state-owned. If you want to exchange gold at a bank, you need to have a certificate issued by your work unit or street to prove the origin of the gold.

Yan Jiecheng's current status is that of a poor peasant. There is no way to prove this. It cannot be said that it is inherited from his family.

Yan Jiecheng took out a 110-gram gold bar from the space and went to a private pawn shop to exchange it for more than 200 yuan.

The current recycling price of gold is two yuan and sixty-one grams, and the price offered by a private pawn shop is one or two cents lower than that of a bank. After all, if you come from a legitimate source, you will not be able to exchange it with him.

After exchanging the money, Yan Jiecheng's first purpose was to change all the furnishings at home and buy a set of pots, pans and bed sheets.

Although there is cloth and cotton in the space, it takes time to find someone to do it, so it is faster to buy ready-made ones.

After a busy afternoon, he tidied up his cabin. Looking at the brand-new room, Yan Jiecheng smiled with satisfaction.

As for whether the source of his income will be questioned, Yan Jiecheng is not worried. After all, it has been six years since he came to the capital.

Moreover, the people in the courtyard all moved here from other places after liberation. No one except Qiang Zi knew Yan Jiecheng.

Even though Qiangzi and Yan Jiecheng came from the same hometown and were often together, they didn't know much about Yan Jiecheng's income.

Although Yan Jiecheng doesn't earn much, he still believes in saving two or three yuan a month.

After all, he was alone, he didn't even have a family, he didn't have any other expenses, and he didn't have much interaction with the neighbors in the yard before.

After cleaning up the house, Yan Jiecheng took out grain from the space, filled the noodle jar in the house, and then took out a piece of meat from the space.

This is my first time in this world, so I have to treat myself well.

Looking at the wall clock, it was already past four o'clock. Yan Jiecheng started to light a fire and cook, making a bowl of braised pork and steaming a tray of steamed buns.

After dinner, Yan Jiecheng lay on the bed and read a book boredly. It was the time when the workers got off work, and Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to take out his mobile phone to play.

While Yan Jiecheng was reading, he remembered the voice of Hadron outside.

"Xie Cheng, come out quickly, Zhenwu wants to invite us to a tavern for a drink."

After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to put the book back into his room, put on his coat and walked out.

"I said Yan Jiecheng, when did you buy the clothes? Oh, they are still new. Are you tired of living?" Qiangzi asked in surprise when he saw Yan Jiecheng wearing a new set of clothes. He even touched them with his hands.

I feel that Yan Jiecheng is a little unusual today. Yan Jiecheng has not been willing to buy new clothes for several years before. What's wrong today?

"Okay, stop looking at it, go quickly and don't keep Brother Cai waiting." Yan Jiecheng slapped Qiangzi's hand away and walked directly towards the entrance of the courtyard.

The two of them met up with Cai Quanwu and went directly to the tavern. Yan Jiecheng entered and saw the stubborn king He Yongqiang.

This person has not yet gotten together with Xu Huizhen's cousin, and is still working as the shopkeeper of the tavern.

The service attitude is good, just like the employees in the hotel after the public-private partnership. They don't smile when they see anyone, they have a straight face, as if they owe money to their family.

When he came to the tavern, Cai Quanwu ordered a pound and a half of Erguotou and Xiaodie pickles, which cost a total of one dollar and fifteen cents.

The three of them found an empty table and sat down. At this time, the tavern was already full of people, chatting away from all over the place.

Yan Jiecheng thought it was quite interesting, but the wine was almost boring. Yan Jiecheng only took a sip and spit it out, and then said:

"Bah, what kind of wine is this? There's water in it."

Everyone laughed unconsciously when they heard Yan Jiecheng's words. Even Cai Quanwu next to him pulled Yan Jiecheng and stopped him from talking anymore.

"I said you didn't know just now, right? It's been so many years. Ever since we first came here, the tavern has been selling wine mixed with water." Qiangzi said with a smile.

"Don't talk about you anymore. When the little devil entered Peiping, he only drank wine mixed with water." The fat man at the table next to him said with a smile.

When Yan Jiecheng heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Mr. Niu. However, He Yongqiang, who was standing on the counter at this time, quit. Hearing everyone's laughter, he thought they were laughing at him, so his face straightened down and he said:

"This is the wine we sell in the tavern. If you want to drink it, just drink it. If you don't want to, just leave. If you want to drink good wine, go somewhere else. If you want to drink good wine for only 7 cents per catty, I don't care about your moral character."

"I said He Yongqiang, why are you open for business? Why don't you let me tell you that your wine has been mixed with water? How can you be wronged?" Teacher Xu, who was drinking next to him, couldn't stand it anymore and said directly.

"Don't you know how much you spent on the wine? Anyway, this is what we sell at home, whether you like it or not." After saying this, He Yongqiang turned his head to the side. He was afraid of causing public outrage and everyone joined forces to deal with him, so he stopped talking about it. Already.

Yan Jiecheng didn't expect that he just made a slip of the tongue and almost caused trouble, so he quickly shut up and stopped talking. However, the wine mixed with water was really unpalatable. Now he felt a little sympathy for Xu Damao. He said why Yan Bugui went to Xu Damao for a drink in his previous life. Xu Damao Always hiding.

The wine here is not good but people still come here. The main reason is that there are many people here and everyone can chat. After all, people like to join in the fun. The main reason why people come here is not to drink, but to listen to people chatting.

Anyway, wine is not expensive, it only costs 70 cents per catty, which you can’t even buy in the wholesale market.

The wholesale price of Erguotou is only one yuan per catty, and it is sold for one yuan and two in supply and marketing cooperatives.

Calculated this way, a drunkard can't make much money even if he mixes his wine with water.

But it was really uncomfortable to drink the wine, but why was Yan Jiecheng so happy to see Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu drinking? Could it be that these two people were used to drinking.

Although he couldn't figure it out, Yan Jiecheng definitely didn't want to drink it, so he had to pour the wine in his flask to Qiangzi and eat the pickles to death.

Not to mention that the pickles are quite delicious. After watching the TV series Yan Jiecheng knows that the stone used to pickle pickles in Lao He's home is heavier than ordinary stones.

The reason why his pickles are so delicious comes from this special stone.

If given the chance, Yan Jiecheng would really like to see what this stone is, but he just doesn't know if Xu Huizhen is willing to do so.

After Cai Quanwu and Qiangzi finished drinking, the three of them didn't stay in the tavern any longer, but went straight back home.

Yan Jiecheng returned home and lay on the bed thinking about the future. After all, if you don't worry about the future, you will have immediate worries. Yan Jiecheng will not have to work for others like he did in his last life.

But he couldn't stay at home all the time. But what to do? Yan Jiecheng closed his eyes and thought about things in his mind.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't come up with a reason. Forget it, let's take it one day at a time. Anyway, with the supplies in the space, even if he doesn't have a job, he will not be short of food and drink in his life.
