Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

In the 60s, some of the buses in the old city were diesel buses imported from the Czech Republic.

In addition to buses, there are actually trams in the city.

There are 13 trolleybus lines, 2 tram lines, 13 bus lines and 30 suburban lines in the city, which almost cover most areas of the city, and transportation is very convenient.

To ride both the bus and the tram, you need a monthly pass.

This monthly ticket was easy to buy. Liu Ping'an asked them to bring their personal certificates when they went out. With their personal certificates, Liu Ping'an and others bought the monthly tickets and got on the bus smoothly.

Sitting on the bus, everyone except Liu Pingan was curious.

Including Qin Huairu. Although she has lived in Beijing for many years, her living area is limited to the area around Nanluoguxiang and she rarely goes out.

This was her first time taking the bus.

She watched the scenery outside the car pass by one by one, with indescribable emotion in her heart.

Just like her life, she moves forward without stopping.

She turned and looked at the others. They were all leaning against the windows curiously, excited to feel the sensations the car would bring.

In fact, most people of this generation may never ride in a car until they die, so Qin Jingru and the others were particularly excited, as this was their first experience after all.

In a short while, the bus took them to their destination, Dong'an Market.

When Liu Ping'an and others got off the bus, they found that there were so many people near the Dong'an Market. It could be said that it was crowded with people.

He looked around but couldn't see the end of the sea of ​​people.

"There are so many people."

It was also the first time that Liu Jianping saw such a scene. When he was learning his craft in Sijiu City, he had no time to go out and play. Of course, the most important thing was that he had no money.

Seeing so many people, Qin Huairu and the others were a little nervous.

However, Liu Pingan immediately comforted them when he saw this: "Don't be afraid, hold hands and walk together. I'm here, and we'll be safe."

Liu Ping'an has space in his hands, so he is not afraid even if there are pickpockets.

Liu Ping'an held Qin Jingru's hand, and the group walked into the gate of Dong'an Market.

Dong'an Market was originally a military training ground during the Qing Dynasty. Later, shops and stalls outside the Dong'an gate were moved in, and slowly it became a market.

Don't think that everything is state-owned at this time.

There are many traditional snacks and performances in Dong'an Market, as well as vendors.

They shouted at the top of their voices, selling candied haws, pea yellow, fruits, and many other traditional Beijing snacks that Liu Ping'an had never seen before.

Qin Jingru was very excited and looked around.

Especially when I see the candied haws on the vendors’ stalls, I can’t take my eyes away.

Seeing his sister's eager look, Liu Ping'an couldn't help but smile, took out the money and stood at the stall.

"Boss, how much are your candied haws?"

The boss was a thin old man. When he saw that there was business, he smiled and said, "This one-meter-long one is one yuan, this medium-sized one is thirty cents, and this smaller one is eight cents. Comrade, take that one."

Candied haws are really cheap at this time.

Liu Ping'an saw the one-meter-long candied haws, pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "Then give me seven medium-sized ones and one small one."

Hearing that it was a big business, the old man smiled from ear to ear, said okay, and gave Liu Ping'an paper to pick up the candied haws.

Liu Ping'an gave the money, took a bunch of candied haws, turned around and handed them to them: "Here, one for each of you, Xiaodang, eat the small one. When you eat, be careful with the stick, it's best to bite it from the side."

Qin Jingru took it happily, then opened the paper bag, took out the clusters one by one and handed them to them.

When Xiaodang got his own string of candied haws, he was so happy that his eyes narrowed. He gently took a bite of the syrup on the outside and smiled even more happily.

Qin Huairu held the candied haws. Although it tasted delicious, she still felt a little sad.

There's nothing we can do about it, this is a common problem.

Just this string of Xiaodang can buy an egg, and all of their candied haws combined can buy two old hens!

If the people from Siheyuan were here, they would definitely say: This is simply the behavior of a prodigal son!

But Liu Ping'an was so happy. Why not use so much money and save it for having a baby?

Of course, it was also Liu Jianping’s first time to eat it. Although big men don’t like sweet things very much, but in comparison, he still enjoyed the feeling of trying something new.

At the same time, he was also thinking about his wife and son.

"When I get them assigned housing, I'll bring them here to have a look. My wife will definitely like the food."

If there wasn't still a month before the housing allocation, Liu Jianping might have been reluctant to eat the candied haws and would have saved it for his family.

Xiaoxia, Xiaoyan and Qin Jingru were in their prime youth, so they were of course happy to eat the candied haws. They walked hand in hand in front happily.

Liu Ping'an, biting a candied haws fruit, led them around a corner, found a teahouse, and prepared to sit down and rest.

When he arrived at the teahouse, he discovered that there was actually storytelling here!

This made him very curious.

Although he had heard crosstalk in his previous life, he had never heard storytelling. He did hear a storytelling performance on his radio once, but how could the effect of the radio compare to the live performance?

Liu Ping'an called a table and sat down with them.

The storyteller at this time was a man in a long robe. He sat in front of a table with a folding fan in his hand. He clapped his hands and said, "Last time we talked about Cao Cao entering Dong Zhuo's house..."

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is being discussed here.

Before the storm came, these books were just read casually, and many people told stories based on the four great classics.

Most of the storytelling at that time told historical stories, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the four great classics, was extremely popular.

Later, the storytelling works "Red Rock" and "Gunshots on the Plain" were also published.

However, Liu Ping'an had no interest, so he came to this teahouse to listen to storytelling.

Judging from the fact that this teahouse was packed with people, it can be seen that Liu Ping'an's choice was correct, but there were too many female relatives in his group, which attracted many people's curious gazes.

But they were gradually attracted by the content of the storytelling and had no time to pay attention to this.

Qin Huairu and the others were even more fascinated by what they heard.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is easy to understand, and even the description of the customs and scenes of that time is very interesting.

Liu Pingan was listening after taking a sip of tea when he suddenly felt someone tap his shoulder. He turned around and said with a smile, "Uncle Yang, why are you here?"

The person who came was Yang Guangliang. As soon as he came out, Xiaoxia hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

Everyone present, except Qin Huairu, had seen Yang Guangliang before. They knew that he was Xiaoxia's boss, the manager of the medicinal materials wholesale station, and they all greeted him.

Yang Guangliang nodded and said to Liu Ping'an with a smile: "I have nothing to do on this weekend, so I came here to play. But you came at the right time. I was just talking about you with my friend."
