Countercurrent Xiangjiang giants

Chapter 2 The Beauty in Her prime

A box of fish was unloaded. There were ten boxes in total. Lin Chu carried four boxes of fish into the Xiangji ice room on one side.

His strength has indeed increased.

These four boxes of fish weighed a full three hundred catties, but he lifted them effortlessly. The muscles under his clothes swelled like the inner tank of a fuel engine, bringing waves of strength.

"Ah Rong, the new unloader? What a man!" The proprietress stood at the door of the restaurant, smiling, and her voice was a bit weird.

Lin Chu took a look at her. A sweater was paired with a pair of jeans. She was a bit pretty, but her figure was a little out of shape, so she couldn't catch his eyes.

"One of my cousins ​​is called Ah Chu, and Sister Ming will take care of him in the future." Lin Shirong smiled.

Helping Lin Shirong move the goods in and put them in the back kitchen, Lin Chu went to the bathroom once, washed his hands and face, but was startled when he looked in the mirror.

He is still him in the mirror, but he is much younger. This should be him at the age of 19. His skin is still fair, his eyebrows are raised, and he is handsome and extraordinary. No wonder Sister Ming is a bit rough.

He is 1.8 meters tall, with such a face, plus a pair of long legs, maybe it is not so difficult to make money, but it is not easy to eat soft food, and he has always been stubborn, and he can't eat soft food.

Turning around and walking out, Sister Ming winked at him: "Ah Chu, how about hanging out with Sister Ming from now on?"

"Sister Ming, my stomach is pretty good. It tastes good! And Uncle Rong needs me, so I can't just leave." Lin Chu grinned brightly.

Sister Ming stared at his back, startled, there was something strange in her eyes, and then smiled.

Lin Shirong got into the car and drove in the opposite direction. He said while driving, "Ah Chu, the place is not far away. I'll take you there. You don't have a place to live yet, do you? Why don't you go back with me and make do for the night?"

While talking, he stared at the watch on Lin Chu's wrist.

"Uncle Rong is polite, no need, I'll just figure it out myself." Lin Chu waved his hand, pulled down his sleeve, and covered the watch.

Just kidding, this is Vacheron Constantin, which cost more than 40 yuan when I bought it.

Moreover, he is still from Hesheng, so there must be no peace near his home, so he might as well live here in Kowloon and find opportunities to do things by the way.

It was quite quick to apply for an ID card. The tide of fleeing from Hong Kong had already passed, so there were not many people. After the process was completed, Lin Chu got a temporary ID card, and it would be fine to come back in a month to get a formal ID card.

Lin Shirong had already left, and Lin Chu had no money on him. He thought about it, sat on the road, and watched the passers-by on the road. Xiangjiang is already very fashionable in this era, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere.

Although he has seen the prosperity of the later generations, with thin waist and long legs and a red face on the Internet, the fashion of this era has a sense of innocence. All the people walking on the road have pure natural legs and faces, which are more beautiful and not stereotyped.

There was a familiar song floating in the shop by the roadside. Lin Chu thought about it, and it seemed to be Luo Wen's "Family Love".

"Ask how much love there is in the world, showing infinite beauty and kindness, like the love in the world, never changing, making me face everything..."

Looking around, Lin Chu saw many pawnshops. After thinking for a while, he walked to an alley and took out his backpack from the first aid bucket, which contained his changed clothes and some daily necessities.

Retractable wolf sticks, igniters, outdoor flashlights, mobile phones, etc., these are all needed, he stuffed them into the backpack, and left the others, including the compass, telescope, etc.

Picking up his backpack, he strode into one of the pawnshops. A man in a suit glanced at him and said softly, "Young man, what do you want to pawn?"

Taking out the engineering shovel and the self-inflating rubber raft from the first aid bucket, Lin Chu asked softly, "How much can these things cost?"

"Is this worth the money?" The man was taken aback.

Lin Chu threw the rubber raft on the ground. After a while, the rubber raft slowly bulged up. He said softly, "Automatically inflates, can carry [-] catties, sharp-proof device, do you want it?"

The man's eyes lit up, and after waiting for a full 10 minutes, the rubber raft was fully inflated. He sat on it, lay down slowly, tossed back and forth a few times, stabbed him a few times with a knife, and then lifted the raft with one hand. He got up, pondered for a moment and said, "I'll give you two thousand Hong Kong dollars..."

Lin Chu smiled, let go of his anger, folded it up and put it in the first aid bucket, turned around and left. There is absolutely no such thing in this era, so the price will definitely not be low. Anyway, there are many pawnshops on this street , he is going to try one by one.

"Don't go! Junior, let's talk again." The man stopped him.

These pawnshops may have some associations behind them, but since they open pawnshops, they want to clean up their crimes, and they will not mess around in the open, so Lin Chu is very relieved.

Turning his head, Lin Chu assembled the engineering shovel, and said softly: "It's made of alloy steel, the latest technological product, quite strong, bulletproof, and easy to carry. When I bought it, it cost two thousand dollars. You can give me eight thousand." Hong Kong dollars will do.

As for the rubber raft, it is made with the latest technology. I brought it back from the United States. It cost [-] U.S. dollars to buy, and you can give [-] Hong Kong dollars. "

The man looked at him, pointed at the first aid bucket and said, "I still want this bucket and everything in it!"

"There are a lot of things in this bucket, how much do you plan to pay?" Lin Chu stared at him with calm eyes, and took out a telescope, a compass, etc. at the same time.

The man said seriously: "I'll give you [-] Hong Kong dollars!"

"One hundred thousand!"

"Sixty thousand!"

"Ninety thousand! I can go to other places to compare the price. I see that there are several pawnshops on this street, and there is always someone who can give me a reasonable price."

The man stared at him and smiled: "Young man, you can come to us, it should be because we are more stylish than the others, right? We are the biggest pawn shop in Kowloon, you should come here, [-], I A check directly to you!"

"Deal!" Lin Chu nodded, and his eyes fell on the nameplate on the man's chest.

His name is Pan Qiwen, and his position is the manager of the Kowloon pawnshop.

The two signed the agreement, Pan Qiwen wrote a check, and Lin Chu went directly to the bank to open an account. The bank he chose was Hang Seng Bank, and he could use it with a temporary ID.

Originally, he also wanted to apply for a check, but this requires good credit, which he does not currently qualify for.

After withdrawing [-] Hong Kong dollars, Lin Chu walked slowly along the road. He wanted to find a real estate agency to rent a house. It was impossible to find a house by himself, and it would take too much time and effort.

There is a Zhongyuan Real Estate on the street. Lin Chu knows this company. After decades, there are branches of this company everywhere in the mainland. In fact, this company comes from Xiangjiang and was established in 1978.

When entering the door, a woman just came out, the two passed each other, the faint fragrance wafted, Lin Chu couldn't help turning his head to look, and then he was stunned.

The woman turned her head and glanced at him, with a bit of reproach in her eyes, but after seeing his appearance, the woman's face eased a bit, and then she turned her head and left.

She turned out to be Zhao Yazhi, she was really pure as water in this age, her beauty was indescribable.

At this glance, Lin Chu even felt a numb feeling. He knew that this was definitely not the feeling of being in love, but maybe it was a reminder of his body's instinct.

A shrewd young man came out and asked, "Sir, do you want to rent a house?"

"Is there any suitable house near here?" Lin Chu asked.

The young man nodded: "It's a lot, 4 Hong Kong dollars per foot, how much room do you want to rent, sir?"

"About 550 feet." Lin Chu responded. He knew that this was equivalent to about 50 square meters, but here in Xiangjiang, the area of ​​the apartment is counted, so it is not too small, enough to have two rooms and one living room.

Lin Chu thought for a while, took out twenty Hong Kong dollars and stuffed it into the man's hand, and asked in a low voice, "Then that lady lives in..."

"Oh, she lives on Broadcasting Road. There is a house over there. Do you want to rent it, sir? There is a 430-square-foot apartment for only [-] Hong Kong dollars." The man said with a smile.

Lin Chu smiled: "Which floor?"

"The third floor is just downstairs from that one." The young man smiled ambiguously.

Lin Chu took a breath: "Pay the rent for three months first."

After signing the contract and paying the money, the young man sent Lin Chu downstairs. It's really easy to rent a house here, and Lin Chu didn't even meet the landlord.

Lin Chu looked up and saw that the house on the radio channel was still tidy. He straightened his clothes, walked slowly to the third floor, and glanced out from the stairs.

The men passing by on the road were basically in suits and leather shoes. Compared with them, he was indeed dressed a little strangely.

Immediately afterwards, he thought that Zhao Yazhi was upstairs above him, and he felt a little strange. It was a blessing of the times to be able to really see these beauties in their prime.

What a great age!
