Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 228: Where there are people, there are scalpers

"Well, it's delicious!"

Yang Xiaole bit into the freshly made oyster omelette and praised it with a smile.

Charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with the freshness and sweetness of oysters, the taste is really good.

I have never tasted this stuff before.

After all, I haven’t even been to Guangzhou in my previous life, let alone Hong Kong Island.

I know this thing, but I saw this thing called 'Oh Ah Fried' on TV, so I thought of eating it.

Huang Xintong bit the thing carefully and nodded: "Well, it's quite delicious, but it's too expensive. If you make it at home, it's very cheap."

Then he smiled sheepishly: "But it tastes better than what I cook at home!"

The high price of one dollar and a half meant that she basically didn't eat much after coming here.

Or speaking of things sold outside, she rarely went out to eat.

Yang Xiaole also nodded in approval. It is indeed not cheap. The consumption here is actually a bit abnormal, mainly because most of the things here are imported.

Not much to see.

While eating, he pushed the car back towards the original route.

"Hey, by the way, Miss Huang, are you still used to living at your uncle's house? I have a friend who has a house that no one usually lives in. I want someone to help me take a look. Are you interested? No money is required."

Looking at Huang Xintong who was eating quietly next to him, he still asked.

Huang Xintong shook her head without thinking when she heard this: "I live well at my aunt's house, and my aunt treats me very well. I usually have my cousin and Jiaojiao playing with me."

Then he ate with a smile and walked quietly on the road.

Yang Xiaole took a look.

He could tell that what Huang Xintong said didn't sound like he was lying, and there was still a trace of satisfaction in his helplessness.

It's not that good to live under someone else's roof.

No matter how nice he is to you, there will still be some discomfort and psychological pressure.

The biggest possibility is that Huang Xintong can adjust his mentality by himself. To put it bluntly, he is easily satisfied.

Looking at her reminded him of a person in Sijiu City.

That is Jiang Yan.

The two people are so similar in their fragility with a hint of strength, as well as their peaceful looks.

But something is different.

Can't tell the feeling.

Seeing that she was unwilling, Yang Xiaole naturally didn't force it.

The two chatted and rushed home.

When he came downstairs, Yang Xiaole looked at Huang Xintong and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't go up. I have to leave. You can keep this address. If you have any difficulties, remember to ask the person above, she can give you some help. .”

Huang Xintong held the note in her hand, smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you."

"Well, I'll see you again when I have a chance. I'm leaving."

After that, he said hello and left on his bike.

When Huang Xintong saw him leaving, she went upstairs directly.

When I got home, I read the contents of the note again. I didn't care and just put the note in the book. However, after thinking about it, I took out a small book and copied it down.

There are other names and addresses in the book.

……

After Yang Xiaole left on his bicycle, he wandered around the area.

Seeing that the time was almost up, he went into the space to sleep.

Early the next morning, Yang Xiaole washed up in the space and then left the space.

After coming out, Yang Xiaole ate breakfast on the roadside, thinking about what to do next.

After asking Huang Qiujing for help, I am now the hands-off shopkeeper, and it seems that there is not much to do next.

For a moment, he wanted to go back.

He is not short of money, but he feels that although Hong Kong Island is prosperous, it always gives him a feeling of being rootless and without much sense of belonging.

At this time, he wanted to go back and beat Xizi.

As for the prosperity of Hong Kong Island, he had seen big cities in his previous life. Except when he first came here, compared with Kyoto, he felt that it was quite prosperous.

If you watch too much, you won’t feel anything at all.

It's just like the feeling of urban areas in the 90s.

Go to the jewelry store first.

After wandering around for a while, he gave up and headed towards Kowloon.

Because except for a few miscellaneous brand gold shops, there are no large jewelry stores here.

Returning to Victoria Harbor, we directly found a large shopping mall.

rolex?
After coming in, he immediately saw a counter selling watches not far away, with many watches placed inside.

It’s not that kind of specialty store, but many brands are together.

Rolex?
He still recognized this.

Walked over curiously.

I casually looked at the prices, ranging from a few hundred to several thousand.

A mechanical Rolex watch with a steel band, priced at HK$302.

Thinking that the piece in the space was still old, I immediately asked for one.

Paid.

I was planning to leave.

Because if you buy too much of this thing, it will be of no use. It is impossible for my family to wear watches.

Among the people I know, the uncle himself owns a watch, but he doesn’t dare to buy one and give it away, so he can only afford the money of a capitalist.

Because the Hua family is used to it.

After thinking about it for a while, I looked at a rose gold women's watch and bought a few. Anyway, this thing doesn't take up much space.

The price is not cheap either, more than 600 yuan per piece.

It's considered a luxury here.

After buying the things, I carried my things to several nearby gold shops.

The most eye-catching one is naturally Chow Tai Fook.

There is also a Chow Sang Sang and some other counters.

But Chow Tai Fook’s counter is the biggest.

After Yang Xiaole came over, he looked at a gold necklace inlaid with gems on the counter and asked, "Can you show me this?"

This is a gold necklace inlaid with a dark blue gemstone, which looks very noble.

Waiters wear women's suits.

It wasn't too surprising to hear this.

Victoria Harbor is one of the most prosperous places on Hong Kong Island, and there are all kinds of people here.

He took out the thing and handed it to him.

After Yang Xiaole took it, he touched it and confirmed that it was what he wanted.

This kind of dark blue gemstone should be made into small pieces to look good when paired with it.

The previous carving was really ugly.

"Hello, Miss, I would like to ask if you have this for sale? It's this gem."

Yang Xiaole pointed to the indigo above and asked.

The waiter was surprised for a while: "Sir...are you...really talking about this gem?"

"Well, yes, are there any raw materials for sale?"

Hearing this, the waiter smiled and shook his head: "Sorry, sir, we don't have what you need here. Do you want this necklace?"

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Yes."

only 76 dollars
The price of gold here is only 7.14 Hong Kong dollars per gram, so it’s just like throwing stones at people asking for directions.

"Sir, please pay here."

The waiter happily wrapped it up for him after hearing this.

After paying the money, Yang Xiaole put the box away and asked, "Miss, do you know where I can buy the gems I just mentioned?"

The waiter thought for a while and shook his head: "Sorry, sir, I really don't know about this. These are directly supplied by the company's factory, and we are only responsible for sales."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole stopped forcing himself.

This kind of gems are used as accessories. He has just looked at the entire counter, and the ones made of this material are only the size of his fist at most.

The most common ones are pure gold.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally gave up.

This store is already the largest one he has seen. The usage is so small that other stores don't need to think about it.

It is still quite troublesome to find this kind of channel.

Thinking about it, I still pull it down.

This kind of gem was passed down from El's side.The usage on Hong Kong Island is relatively small. Unless you are looking for a first-hand channel, it is useless to ask anyone.

Forget it, let’s go home and buy it.

It can also earn foreign exchange for the mainland.

It just takes a long time.

After making up his mind, he decided to go through the formalities for the car first, and then get a driver's license, otherwise it would be illegal here.

Once he was caught, he couldn't just disappear into thin air on the street.

After making up his mind, he left the mall.

According to the address given by the car seller, I randomly found a transportation bureau branch nearby.

"Hello boss, do you want to help? It can save a lot of time!"

“Our prices are very fair!”

……

Yang Xiaole was surrounded by several people as soon as he came over.

Damn, you can meet scalpers everywhere.

I was about to say no, then I thought about it and said to a middle-aged man with a big gold chain: "How much does it cost to handle the car procedure? How long does it take?"

"It's 15 yuan! It only takes a minute!"

The man was very happy when he heard this and quickly said a price.

Others saw this and left one after another.

Yang Xiaole heard that the price he signed up for was not bad, a day's salary for an ordinary person.

Not cheap anymore.

But this is not his purpose.

I looked around and asked him in a low voice: "I want a driver's license. Can you get one for me? I don't want to take the test."

Cats have cat ways, mice have rat ways.

People like this have their own way inside.

Hearing this, the other party's eyes lit up.

From the accent of this man, he shouldn't be from here, so he was prepared to quote a high price.

But I'm still going to explore first.

He asked with a smile; "Boss, no matter how fast you want it, the price will be different."

"I can get it this morning."

The man's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this. He looked around, stretched out his hand, and quoted what he thought was a high price.

"It's no problem. It only costs seven hundred and we can get it done today!"

Yang Xiaole looked around and nodded: "Okay, then you can do it for me. I'll give you the money after it's done. By the way, help me complete other procedures."

A normal driving license test costs 200 yuan, which is equivalent to an extra [-] yuan.

is acceptable

"OK! No problem! But you need a deposit of [-] first."

The man smiled and rubbed his hands.

Yang Xiaole nodded, took out two hundred and handed it to him.

The other party took the money and motioned to follow him in.

The next step is to apply for a driving license.

In the middle, the other party left for an office and came out with a smile. He came over and said to him: "The driver's license and driving license will come out together in a while. It should take about two hours. Just go and take pictures."

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Waiting there quietly.

More than two hours later, the two people left the transportation bureau.

Among the documents in hand is a driving license.

After walking for a while, Huang Niu looked around, then took out an ID from his pocket and handed it to him.

Just the driver's license he wanted.

"Boss, it's all done."

After speaking, she looked at him.

Yang Xiaole knew that he had to pay the final payment.

He took out a five hundred note and handed it to him, taking the driver's license into his hand.

It is also an all-English document.

But he can still read the driver's license.

"Hey, boss, come back to me next time if you need anything."

The scalper took the money, looked at it, and said with a smile.

"Good! Thank you."

Yang Xiaole smiled and said thank you.

Then left immediately.

After coming out, I wandered around for a while before quietly letting the car out.

All right.

Finally, we can open it openly.

But when I get back, I have to take off the brand and make a deck.

After coming out, Yang Xiaole was thinking about it. In addition to the 30 he had deposited before, there was still more than 620 million left in the space.

Is it to be deposited in batches or all at once?

The banks on Hong Kong Island are not as developed as in later generations. There are banks everywhere.

No matter how you save it, it will eventually be gathered at the head office.

Finally, after thinking about it, I decided to deposit it all at once.

I found a branch here and deposited 570 million into it, and came up with a round number of 600 million.

VIPs naturally conduct transactions in the VIP room, eliminating the need to be watched by onlookers.

As for whether he would be discovered, he no longer cared.

The possibility is very low.

The current status of the Chinese on the British side is not as high as imagined, and even the top group of people's status on the island is not as high as imagined.

Even if it is discovered, it won't be a big problem.

Just explain it to Huang Qiujing when the time comes.

After the matter was settled, he came out of the bank.

He patted the bankbook in his hand and handed it to Huang Qiujing. He didn't need to take care of the rest. He would spend a few days on Hong Kong Island and buy some things before going back.

Put the passbook into the space and go to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

After having lunch, I thought that Huang Qiujing might have gone to do something for herself, and I don't know where she is now.

In the end, we did not cross the river and stopped here.

Driving the car on the road.

After a while, the car arrived near Soho Factory.

Instead of going in, he drove south because he found that there were more and more factories here.

To be honest, he had the idea of ​​setting up a small factory for fun.

Hundreds of thousands to build a factory.

"bump!"

Yang Xiaole was driving when he felt his butt pause.

I was stunned for a moment, looked in the rearview mirror, and then yelled: "Fuck, rear-end collision? Damn it, I just bought a new car!"

Although more than 1 yuan is nothing to him.

But it is his first car after all.

"unlucky!"

I had no choice but to get off the car.

At this time, a young man in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car behind.

Damn, he would be in a better mood with a beautiful woman, and I can understand it, after all, women are road killers.

But you are a man?
"Sorry, sorry!!"

After the young man came down, he quickly made an apology gesture and came over with an apologetic look on his face: "I was distracted by something just now. I'm really sorry. I'll pay for the repair cost."

When Yang Xiaole saw the other party's expression, he didn't want to get angry so much.

I came to the back of the car and took a look.

It's not deformed, but the paint is definitely scratched.
