Ordinary life starting from a courtyard

Chapter 4 4: Yan Bugui's Envy
Zhou Wenliang kicked him on his fat ass, and cursed with a smile: "Be honest, I'll scare the fish away and I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish."

Fat Dan'er rubbed his butt, and smiled: "I'm so happy, I can catch so many fish this time, I can't even think about it. I can wake up laughing at night from my dreams."

"Happy fart, let's see how angry you are, hurry up and pull some willow sticks over, and use them to skewer fish later."

"Okay, I'll go grab..." Fat Dan'er slapped his butt and ran to the big willow tree in the farmland to pick up the branches.

The wicker has toughness, and the fish gills are just right.

In the afternoon, the two of them each carried seven or eight big fish, and to be honest, they couldn't carry them anymore.

A bucket of river prawns are all finger-length. There are so many river prawns in the river, but no one eats them.

Damn it!

The fat man was still wrapped in a fishing net, holding a fish in his left hand and a bucket in his right hand, very sexy.

When we approached Dongzhimen, we saw the train station in front of the bus, and the freight yard on the right. We could see the busy workers inside unloading the goods from the train, sweating profusely while carrying the big bags.

He actually saw that Yan Jiecheng was inside!
The hard work is really the hard work of the Yan family.

The Dongzhimen Tower is still there, next to the railway tracks, a few children are lying on the railway tracks listening, and a child with a runny nose is still quacking.

Suddenly, the children turned over and ran again, shouting:
"The train is coming, the train is coming..."

Seeing the children running and hiding excitedly, Zhou Wenliang couldn't help but laugh.

Zhou Wenliang also had a memory of lying on the railroad tracks and listening to the railroad tracks. If a train was coming, the railroad tracks would make a "squeaky, bang-boring" sound. The louder the sound, the closer the train was.

And there is also a jingle called "Garlic is the only way to make braised noodles. There is a train station outside the city. The train station is connected on three sides, and there is a big clock inside. The big clock rings, and the two sides block when the train comes."

I don't know who made it up, but it's pretty smooth anyway.

This railway station has a long history. In 1909, after the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was completed and opened to traffic, railway stations were built in Qianmen, Guang'anmen, Xizhimen and other places. First, they were passenger stations, which made it easier for people to travel. Later, people reported that the city The transportation of grain, building materials, and coal is still inconvenient.

At the beginning of 1914, Beiyang at that time decided to build a railway around the city in order to solve the transportation problem of grain and coal in the capital.

With a total length of 12.6 kilometers, the train runs around Beijing.

From Xizhimen Station along the wasteland between the city wall and the moat, follow the city wall, pass through Deshengmen, Andingmen, Dongzhimen, Chaoyangmen to Dongbianmen and connect with the Beijing-Shenyang Railway, then go west through Chongwenmen to Zhengyangmen Station.

The coal and food in the capital depend entirely on the Beijing Ring Railway.

"Cough, cough, cough~" While Zhou Wenliang was meditating, the train roared past, blowing up a cloud of dust, choking him and coughing.

"Ahem, let's go." Zhou Wenliang couldn't cover his nose, rushed through the dust, and passed Dongzhimen.

At this time, Dongzhimen was the city gate building above, and the gate tower, archery tower and Wengcheng were demolished under the construction of the Ring Railway.

Now there is still a city gate building to think about. In 69, the city gate building was demolished, so it is the place name.

It is a pity that the nine city gates with a glorious history are demolished. Although it is for economic development, the cultural heritage is gone. In the end, it is meaningless whether there should be traffic jams in the city or traffic jams.

And later regretted it, and built a new city wall on the original site according to the design drawing of the ancient city wall.

The so-called demolition is easy, but rebuilding is difficult.

Reconstruction is also a fake full of modern craftsmanship, and the precipitation of history cannot be restored.

Besides, if the city gates are demolished, is Forty-Nine City still called Forty-Nine City!

That catchphrase: "Inner Nine Outer Seven Imperial City Four, Nine Gates at eight o'clock."

What about the future?

Zhou Wenliang shook his head, secretly saying it's a pity.

After passing Dongzhimen, you will be Dongzhimen Inner Street, which will be Guigui Street in the future, and go straight to Beixinqiao.

At this time, the road is spacious and straight, the No. 7 trolleybus is driving slowly on the street, and the pedestrians on the street are leisurely.

Zhou Wenliang looked at it comfortably, and he didn't want to think about the crowded roads in the future, high-rise buildings, traffic jams everywhere, pedestrians with their heads down playing with their phones, and walking in a hurry.

While Zhou Wenliang was looking at the life in the inner street, an old lady came over and asked in a low voice, "Hey, kid, do you sell fish?"

He and the fat man looked at each other, Zhou Wenliang nodded: "Sell, how many do you want?"

"How much is it?"

Zhou Wenliang glanced around, and said in a low voice, "It depends on whether you want the big one or the small one. The big one weighs six catties, and the small one weighs more than one catty. I'll count it as one catty, and you'll give me fifty cents."

Now pork is 7.8 cents a catty, fat meat is 9 cents, and meat tickets are required, and fish is 1 cents per catty, but he needs tickets, he doesn’t want this, and he pays more.

Because I can't weigh it, I don't bother to weigh it.

Seeing the crowds on the street, the old lady pointed to the intersection next to her, and the two of them followed her to the wall on the side of the road.

The old lady bargained, Zhou Wenliang bargained with her, and the fat man watched from the sidelines.

In the end, the old lady bought two, one weighing four catties and one weighing more than one catty, and gave them 3 yuan.

Zhou Wenliang took the money and looked at it, but he was relieved that no one saw it.

If you get caught, it's speculation, and if you go in, let's say you're shut down for a few months.

"Here, half for each person." Zhou Wenliang gave the fat man [-] yuan.

The fat man put down the bucket, wiped his hands on his body, and said coyly: "Liangzi, forget it, I don't want money, these are all fish you caught, you just share two fish and let me satisfy my hunger. "

Zhou Wenliang couldn't help laughing: "You don't want it, don't say I won't give it to you, then I won't give you the money, don't regret it."

The fat man babbled and babbled for a while, acting coy, like a big bug.

Zhou Wenliang was completely defeated by him, so he put the money in his hands, "Look at your talent, hurry up and leave."

"Hey." The fat man immediately became excited, led the bucket, carried the fish, and chased Zhou Wenliang, and said happily, "Liangzi, I think this is better than we go to sieve sand, otherwise we go to fish every day." Go fish, it turns out that selling fish is so profitable!"

"What do you think?" Zhou Wenliang also needed money, but he was too embarrassed to ask Zhou's mother for it, so he considered Fatty's proposal.

"Liangzi, we'll each take home a big fish later, and we'll sell the rest at the Pigeon Market tonight. How do you feel?"

"Hey, that's good, let's think fast! Let's just make a decision, and we will act tonight. Let's explore the road first."

"That's a good deal..."

The two discussed the details, and when they got home, the fish was hidden. There was a small old courtyard next to it, and there happened to be a half-broken large water tank inside, and the fish was placed in it.

When they went back, one of them carried a big black fish weighing more than four catties.

This bucket of river shrimp was divided at the door of the house.

"Liangzi, where did you get such a big fish?"

Yan Bugui leaned over to watch them divide the river prawns, staring at the two big fish, his envious eyes almost fell out.

The fat man is proud: "We caught it."

"How is it possible, give me another try."

Yan Bugui expressed his disbelief, he is an expert in fishing, and whenever he has time, he does these no-cost businesses. The Yan family wants to improve their food, so they rely on fishing.
