Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Whether Zeng Wangcai is willing to admit it or not, in a society where human relationships are important, having connections is important, and where there are people, there is the world. This actually does not distinguish between at home and abroad. Some people think it is different abroad.

Before Zeng Wangcai lost his job in his previous life, he had the opportunity to stay abroad for a long time. This experience made him realize that, in fact, everywhere is the same, and the moon abroad is no rounder than that at home. If there is no such problem, other problems will arise. He thought that it was ultimately a human problem, so he simply lay down.

Of course, Zeng Wangcai is different now. He is fully capable of pursuing a different way of lying down.

With someone leading the way, things went smoothly. Although the salary grading had not been implemented because no one signed, all other matters had been completed. Section Chief Yu asked Zeng Wangcai to come again tomorrow morning, and she would try to get the leader's signature in the afternoon.

It was still early when they came out of the steel mill, and Zeng Wangcai wanted to treat Director Zhang to a meal, but Director Zhang refused. Finally, Zeng Wangcai had no choice but to take out some unpackaged milk candy that he had prepared long ago from his bag.

Not much, about one pound.

Director Zhang is not a family member, so there are rules for gift giving. It only needs to be meaningful. Giving too much will not be good.

"This is..." Director Zhang was slightly surprised when he saw the candy wrapped in paper.

This surprise is not fake, candy is a real rare thing, especially nowadays. If the man can provide two or three kilograms of candy for a wedding, he will be very proud in front of the woman.

What’s more, this kind of milk candy is not available on the market.

Zeng Wangcai still used internal connections to explain and reported the name of a teacher from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Director Zhang did not ask any further questions. He thanked Zeng Wangcai and went back, leaving Zeng Wangcai standing alone at the factory gate.

Sometimes Zeng Wangcai really wishes time would pass faster so that he could use the resources in the space with more peace of mind.

With nothing to do, Zeng Wangcai went home and had lunch with his mother. Then he was stealthily pulled to his room by his younger brother Lai Fu, where the second brother Zeng Xiaoqiang was already waiting.

"What are you two doing? What are you two planning?" Zeng Wangcai asked suspiciously.

Ever since he reconciled with his two younger brothers, they have become his followers, following him wherever he goes.

"Brother, look, there are twelve wine bottles." Zeng Xiaoqiang pulled aside a piece of rag in the corner, revealing a dozen glass bottles behind it. "They are all clean, just use them directly."

Zeng Wangcai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What do you two want to eat now? Don't you know how to be full? You are a bottomless pit..."

"Brother, Lai Fu has lost weight!" Zeng Lai Fu said shamelessly with his belly that was as big as a small watermelon.

"Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

"Popsicles... No, they're cream popsicles."

"It's the kind that Xiaohuan ate when she came. We went all over the store but couldn't find that kind of popsicle."

Since he had some money now, Zeng Wangcai would occasionally give them a few cents or a dime as pocket money so that they could buy food for themselves. After all, there was no such thing as food safety nowadays.

"You can eat it, but if I hear you talking about the popsicles with outsiders again, forget about it in the future," Zeng Wangcai threatened.

"Brother, Lai Fu promises not to say anything more. The last time I was squeezed by that dog Liu Guangfu and got so angry..." Zeng Lai Fu got angry and swore.

Thinking of the last time his brother defended him, Zeng Wangcai couldn't bring himself to scold him.

"Okay, come with me!" Zeng Wangcai picked up his bag and put the bottle in it, and said gently, "You have to study hard, okay? Don't call me a bitch and don't swear in the future."

“But Liu Guangfu is Dogecoin!”

"..."

After saying goodbye to his mother and leaving the house, Zeng Wangcai took his two younger brothers for a walk, telling them to stand in a deserted, shady place. He then pretended to go to a store and took a look around before coming back with two Northeastern cigarettes in his hands.

"Eat, and go back after you're done!" Zeng Wangcai stared at his two younger brothers eating ice cream with relish.

Children at this time were much easier to satisfy than those in later generations. A bite of food could make them happy for several days.

After the younger brothers finished eating the popsicles, Zeng Wangcai put a piece of chocolate in each of their mouths and said, "Eat it, eat it. Who knows what will go into your stomach?"

I told my younger brother to go back and not run around when it's hot, otherwise he would have nothing to eat if he met a beggar.

After getting rid of the follower, Zeng Wangcai went to Xu Huizhen's tavern and exchanged ten bottles of original Wuliangye for a pot of Erguotou, plus fifteen yuan and fifteen kilograms of food coupons.

Xu Hui is really a smart person. She said that Zeng Wangcai's wine this time was much better than last time, and she took the initiative to raise the price, hoping that Zeng Wangcai would continue to order it in the future.

Zeng Wangcai didn't care about Xu Huizhen at all. His goal was just to confirm through Xu Huizhen's eyes whether Wuliangye is popular now. The result was obvious. Zeng Wangcai was worrying too much.

After leaving the tavern, Zeng Wangcai wandered to Pigeon City, which was his destination.

Since we want to get bicycles, we need to sell some goods in Pigeon City, so it is necessary to explore the route in advance.

This time, Zeng Wangcai did not bring any things with him, nor did he spend any money before entering the Pigeon Market. Perhaps because life is hard now, the closing time of the Pigeon Market has been moved back a lot. It was already afternoon when Zeng Wangcai arrived, but there were still many people setting up stalls here.

"Brother Cao!" Zeng Wangcai found the ticket scalper Cao Datong.

"Hey, Brother Wangcai, why do you come empty-handed today?" Cao Datong was very happy to see Zeng Wangcai, who was the first person to give him filter cigarettes.

Just as Cao Datong thought of the filter tip, Zeng Wangcai handed him another one.

"Brother Cao, is Fifth Master here? I have something to talk to him about." Zeng Wangcai asked. He had thought that Fifth Master was not an ordinary person last time, and wanted to try if there was any chance for Fifth Master to ship the goods.

"Yes, Master Wu is usually here. What do you want to see him about?"

“This… hehe!”

"Haha, look at me, I forgot the rules. Come on, I'll take you there."

"Thank you, Brother Cao!"

Shipping is one thing, but safety must also be guaranteed. Zeng Wangcai now regrets revealing his real name.

Cao Datong didn't need to close the stall, so he just put up a sign and asked the people next door to help look after it before he started walking with Zeng Wangcai. After walking for a few minutes, they turned a corner and entered a small alley. After turning a few more corners, Zeng Wangcai completely fainted.

When they arrived at the back door of a courtyard, Cao Datong asked them to open the door and introduced Zeng Wangcai before letting him in.

This is the backyard of a quadrangle courtyard. It is quite neat, the house is well preserved, and there are decorations such as rockery.

After standing in the backyard for a while, Zeng Wangcai and Cao Datong were led by someone through the moon gate to the main courtyard, where the Fifth Master was fanning himself under a tree in the yard.

"Little brother, you are here, please sit down. Have you brought any delicious food this time?" The Fifth Master today was different from that day. He had a bit of the air of an old Sijiucheng person. He was dressed differently and was turning two big walnuts in his right hand.

Zeng Wangcai took a look at the walnut and felt agitated. In his previous life, he was considered middle-aged and had come into contact with many collectibles and bracelets, but he was the type who took a different approach and focused on the idea of ​​playing with everything.

If it weren't for the supplies in the space, Zeng Wangcai would definitely start collecting these seemingly insignificant old objects now.

"Does Little Bear also understand this?" Seeing Zeng Wangcai looking at the walnut, Uncle Wu asked with a smile.

"I know a little bit! This is a lion head, right? It's quite old." Zeng Wangcai actually recognized the pair of walnuts in Uncle Wu's hand.

"Indeed, little brother, you didn't come here to talk about this, did you?"

"Of course not. I just want to ask Master Wu if there is anyone in Pigeon City who can eat a little more."

"Uh...haha, that depends on how much you have." Wu Ye laughed and said confidently, "It's not a large amount, I can usually eat it all. You are really brave, little brother, to come here alone to discuss this kind of thing. Be careful not to be sold out. But you came to the right person. For the sake of the toad last time, I will tell you the truth. What do you have?"

"Wine, food, fish and meat..."

Damn, I was underestimated. But he was right. In the current city of Beijing, it’s easy for a few people to disappear. I have to be careful in the first transaction and try it out.

Zeng Wangcai took out a glass bottle of Wuliangye from his pocket.
