Chapter 59 Visiting the Night Market
An Saijun was stunned for a moment, put down his book and sat up and said, "He doesn't live here anymore, he went to his cousin's, and he came to attend a class during the day, what's the matter?"

Xiaowei said: "Oh, it's nothing, I just thought I was a little impulsive last night, and I also thought about treating you to a meal, so forget it if you don't come."

An Saijun smiled and said: "It's okay, he didn't act right last night, he's used to yelling, and he's a bit older than you, so let's face it, it's okay, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Xiaowei said, "Aren't you fellow villagers? Why aren't you together?"

An Saijun said: "He is from the lighthouse. I'm from Liaohua. I just met here. I haven't had much experience. I just drank wine with Liaoyang twice. I don't know anyone from him. I know, go to Gaha, it’s not as comfortable as here.”

Xia Maosheng said: "Come down, let's go to the night market together later, shall we?"

An Saijun said: "Night market? Far away?"

Xia Maosheng said: "It's Taiyuan Street, you can look over there when you turn your head, cross the intersection on the right, and that's Taiyuan South Street, haven't you gone out for a stroll?"

The boy sleeping at the door was Qi Guangjun, and said, "The night market is not here, you have to go a little further to the intersection in front, and from there, you have to cross an overpass."

Xia Maosheng looked at him and asked, "Is it far?"

Qi Guangjun shook his head and said, "It's not far away. Just walk 100 meters from this intersection. It's the section below Zhongxing Building. I've been there twice."

Xiaowei asked him: "You always go shopping, what did you buy?"

Qi Guangjun moved in, sat against the wall, wrapped the quilt around his body, and said, "What are you buying? I didn't buy anything. They are dishonest over there. When I heard that outsiders raised prices immediately, and there were bumps." Porcelain, if you take something, you won’t buy it or let you go, and a circle of people will surround you. I just have nothing to do to stroll around and look around, but I don’t dare to pay, and I heard that there are many thieves over there.”

Xiaowei asked: "Where is your family? How do you know so much?"

Qi Guangjun said: "My family is from Kaiyuan, which is quite close to here, and I'm still half a Fengtian person. It's useless, and the accent is different from here. One of my buddies was cut by someone at the night market. Take a lighter." He tried a few times, but he couldn’t afford to buy it. A lighter cost him 200 yuan.”

"Are you going to the night market? I'm going too." The one lying in the middle of the lower bunk sat up and answered the conversation. He had neatly combed his hair in threes and sevens. He had a dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked a little like Premier Zhou when he was young. Apparently, it's from Xinmin's Xiaotuozi, named Luo Qinghe.

Xinmin is a city under the jurisdiction of Fengtian. This is an out-and-out Fengtian person, and it is not easy to work here.

Luo Qinghe got down from the bunk, put on his shoes, tied his shoes and said, "I want to buy some clothes. I don't dare to go alone. It's just a good time to go together."

Xiaowei smiled and said, "Is there anything else to go? Why don't we all go together."

The place names and the style of building houses in Liaodong are different from most places.With Fengtian City as the center, they are all called Tun, Huanggu Tun, Chenxiang Tun, and Wuxiang Tun. The house style is a square wall with an arc top, wide and high.

Going further to the outside is Tuozi, shacks and other place names. The houses are still wide and tall, but the roofs have become flat.

Going further outside is the seaside. Go west and call it a store, and go east and call it a fort. There are some villages and camps between them. The houses have become steeper roofs. They are the more common brick and tile houses, but they were all thatched houses. , This is the intuitive manifestation of class in feudal society at that time.Tun is the official family, the Tuozi shack is the land of the official family, the store is the transit and circulation place for the transportation and goods operated by the official family, the fort is the gentry, the village is the aborigines, the camp is the regiment training center, and there is Wei, which is the national garrison camp. , regardless of location.

……

At eight o'clock, Sister Jin changed her clothes, went up with Li Na to call people, and a group of people went downstairs to the Taiyuan Street Night Market.

The night market is on the pedestrian street in the middle section of Taiyuan Street, from Beierma Road to Zhonghua Road.

The reason why Taiyuan Street is famous and has become a famous commercial street in Fengtian and even the whole country is due to its origin.This Xisijo Street, which was built in 1892, has become a commercial street since it was built. In 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese defeated the Russians and actually occupied Fengtian. Shijo Street became Kasuga Town, the most famous commercial district in Northeast Asia at that time.

After liberation, the street was renamed Taiyuan Street, but its nature remained unchanged. It was one of the largest commercial streets in the country at that time.

From the Xinshijie flyover, you will come down to the intersection of the pedestrian street, which is also the head of the night market. You can see the dense crowd inside from a distance. The stalls selling things are placed back to back in the middle of the road, and the shoppers pass downstairs from both sides.

Although this area is bustling at the moment, it still doesn’t have the same feeling as the city that never sleeps in later generations. There are light bulbs on the stalls under the street lamps, illuminating this small area brightly, so that passers-by can see clearly.

There are stalls selling snacks and skewers in the alleys on both sides of the middle road. If you are tired from walking, you can go there to eat something to warm your body and rest your legs.

The first stall after getting off the overpass sells electronic products such as lighters, miniature recorders (the predecessor of the Walkman) and tapes.

Xiaowei turned his head to look at Qi Guangjun, Qi Guangjun curled his lips and nodded.

Xiaowei said in a low voice: "Is it because you are embarrassed to tell someone?" Qi Guangjun glanced at Xiaowei and nodded slightly.

Xiaowei raised his hand and patted Qi Guangjun's shoulder and said, "It's okay, something can happen to anyone, and it's better to spend some money than to be cut short."

Qi Guangjun looked sideways at the owner of the stall and said, "I was hit, and I was slapped in the mouth. Several people blocked me, and I couldn't run away."

Xiaowei was talking to Qi Guangjun, when Xia Maosheng suddenly called out, "Wang Zhilong, Wang Zhilong, this, this, this, where are you?"

Turning his head and looking over, he saw Wang Zhilong walking from the other side in a thin suit with his tiled face upturned. When he got close, Xia Maosheng pinched Wang Zhilong's clothes and asked, "Aren't you cold? Where are you gaha?" "

Wang Zhilong raised his hand to stroke his bristling hair, thought for a while and said deeply: "I'm observing. I'm observing why the business in this place is so good. So many people come here to buy things at night, and they can earn a lot of money. "

Xia Maosheng turned his head to look at the people coming and going in the night market, and asked, "What do you see?"

Wang Zhilong took a breath, his gaze was deep and far away, and he said slowly: "I can see it, because the things sold here are more convenient and cheaper than other places."

There was silence for more than a minute, and then everyone did what they should do, no one wanted to talk to Wang Zhilong.

Wang Zhilong looked at the lights in the distance, his eyes were blurred, and he said as if he could see through the world: "Really, I won't lie to you. If you sell some goods and sell them cheaper than them, you will definitely make a fortune. Sure, sure."
