Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Wang Jianjun looked at Liu Haizhong with some surprise.

He can get everything naturally.

What surprised him was that the second uncle was so generous.

There are eight tables for the banquet, and each table must have fish, meat and wine.

This will cost several hundred dollars.

No other family in the compound would have such a sumptuous wedding banquet with so many tables.

I guess the quality of Lao Liu’s banquet will be unmatched for a long time to come.

Liu Haizhong really spent a lot of money this time.

The main reason is that his daughter-in-law is of special status.

Liu Guangqi didn't know what luck he had, he fell in love with a man who was the son of an official.

His future father-in-law is the leader of a certain unit.

Liu Haizhong, a fan of officials, admires officials the most.

In order to make a good impression on future in-laws, work hard on the quality of the banquet.

But it’s not so easy to get supplies these days.

He just happened to hear someone say that the two wild boars at the steel mill were obtained by Wang Jianjun, so he asked him with the mentality of giving it a try.

"Uncle, this isn't a big problem. I'll go back to my hometown and ask for the other things. They should be available. I'm just not sure about pork. If I have any, I'll let you know in advance.

But remember not to let Second Aunt spread the news. It will be troublesome if someone reports this private transaction."

When Liu Haizhong heard this, he said excitedly:

"Don't worry, Jianjun. I've invited everyone in the hospital to this banquet. No one will report it."

Wang Jianjun nodded. He said this out of caution.

Nowadays, every family that has a wedding will try to find ways to get some meat, and almost every household has gone to a pigeon market.

If everyone is not clean, then naturally no one would be stupid enough to report it.

After confirming the wedding date and delivery method, Liu Haizhong said goodbye and left.

When I got home, Second Aunt and Liu Guangqi came over and whispered:

"Boss, what's going on?"

Liu Haizhong leaned back in his chair and said cheerfully:

"I am the second uncle in the courtyard after all, so I still have some face. Jianjun has already agreed, and he can get everything except pork."

"Really! That's great for me."

The second aunt also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

She was so worried that she couldn't sleep during this period. Liu Guangqi's wedding date was approaching, but there was still a big gap in the ingredients for the banquet.

Now that the matter was resolved, she could finally let go of her worries.

Liu Guangqi was also scratching his head excitedly, "Dad, I will tell Xiaohong tomorrow that the wedding date can be set."

Liu Haizhong nodded and then said seriously:

"Remember not to tell anyone about this matter, not even Guangfu and Guangtian."

Second Aunt and Liu Guangqi nodded in agreement.

They often went to the pigeon market to buy eggs for Lao Liu, so they naturally knew what they could say and what they could not say.

Wang Jianjun sat in the rocking chair for a while and then went back to the space.

Although it's dark, the weather outside is still a bit hot, so I might as well go back to the space and enjoy some air conditioning.

My base in space is finally no longer an empty space.

He cut down a lot of trees last time, and built himself a small wooden house. Since he didn't have enough materials, he had to make do with it for the time being.

Wang Jianjun also bought two stoves, one placed outside and one placed in the space.

Now he also starts making his own fire and cooking.

However, the one in the courtyard was just pretending. He would occasionally steam some steamed cornbread, sweet potatoes and other foods to fool people, but after steaming them, he would feed them to the pigs.

He puts the really good things in the space.

I have worked hard in the countryside for half a day today, so I will have a chicken in the evening to nourish myself.

Wang Jianjun took a walk around the chicken coop.

I picked a rooster that had been practicing crowing for two and a half months.

This chicken has already left many offspring and it's time to send it off.

With the help of the auxiliary system, the chicken was quickly bled, plucked, gutted, cleaned and chopped into pieces.

Put the chicken in a casserole, add dried mushrooms and ginger, pour some wine and simmer on a coal stove.

Then Wang Jianjun took out some camouflage items from the storage space.

Sunglasses, masks, and hats.

Plus a new set of clothes.

I took out a mirror and looked at myself, and my image suddenly changed drastically.

If you don't look carefully, you can't recognize him at all.

He tried to speak a few words by suppressing his voice, and his voice was rough and different from his original voice.

Wang Jianjun nodded with satisfaction.

He planned to explore the Pigeon Market in the evening.

Of course, we should do the necessary disguise.

He went to the department store specially for this outfit.

Put away the disguise props.

The chicken is cooked in about an hour.

Wang Jianjun took a pair of chopsticks and a spoon and started eating from the casserole without using a bowl.

The chickens raised in this space eat corn and insects, and they usually run around in the mountains.

After stewing, the taste is much better than that of home-raised ones.

Soon he had eaten all the chicken until only some chicken bones were left.

Wang Jianjun wiped his mouth and asked the auxiliary system to help clean up.

I returned to the present world, left the courtyard and walked towards the Pigeon City.

He asked Uncle San about the nearest pigeon market yesterday.

In a remote alley.

The location is not fixed, so you have to move to another place after a period of time.

Otherwise, you will become a fixed target waiting to be caught by the police.

Although the higher-ups turned a blind eye to the existence of Pigeon City.

But when necessary, we should also pick a few typical examples to boost performance.

I walked all the way to the alley that Yan Bugui mentioned, and entered the front advanced space to put on camouflage props.

There were two or three people patrolling at the entrance of the alley.

When the two saw Wang Jianjun coming, their eyes were immediately fixed on him.

Mainly because Wang Jianjun’s disguise was a bit weird.

Who would wear sunglasses at night?

Can you see the road clearly?

When Wang Jianjun approached, one of them lowered his voice and said:

"Buy or sell?"

"purchase."

"One cent for buying things."

"What if I sell it?"

The man looked at Wang Jianjun uncertainly:

"You want to sell something?"

"Just asking out of curiosity."

"Selling things for three cents."

Then he explained, "Don't think it's expensive, it's the same price everywhere else. Selling things is more risky, and we have to send people to help keep watch, and we have to keep people to clean up after the sellers leave."

Wang Jianjun nodded and said that different services have different prices.

He took out a dime and went into the alley.

The alley is not big, only about two meters wide.

Those who sell things are all on one side, with the goods either placed on the ground or in sacks, while buyers are choosing on the other side.

Everyone kept quiet tacitly.

Wang Jianjun held a kerosene lamp and checked the goods. Most of the things sold here were grain.

There are also a few people selling chickens and ducks.

As for pork, forget it.

There are also people selling tickets, cigarettes and alcohol.

Wang Jianjun took a look at the stall owner selling cigarettes and alcohol and found that he was quite young, seemingly even younger than himself.

The cigarettes are Peony cigarettes and the wine is Maotai.

The fact that he could come up with these things showed that he had a good family background. Looking at the new clothes on the young man, he was probably a kid from some compound who stole things from his home and sold them to make some money.

Wang Jianjun first went to the ticket seller and took a look. Most of them were food coupons.

There are no bicycle tickets.

There were a few industrial tickets, and after asking about the price, he bought them because they seemed to be reasonable.
