Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 256: Walking around the world, what can you do if you don’t have any skills?

When Yang Xiaole heard what Feng Aijun said, the corners of his mouth twitched.

His grandfather only had two and a half kilograms of pork a month, which was not enough. How could those who only had four and a half kilograms of pork a month and could not buy meat with their meat tickets survive?
No, it’s already three taels now.

from next month.

Two tickets a month, one half per ticket.

But the old man is a big shot and there is no way to compare.

He looked at the person next to him and asked with a smile, "Is this...?"

When Feng Aijun was about to speak, the person next to him took off his mask and said, "I know you, you are 'Brother Hao' from the west side of the city, right? I was there at the skating rink last time! My name is Zhang Jianguo."

Feng Aijun also added: "This is my buddy, from the same compound. We went to the skating rink together last time."

Yang Xiaole's head hurt when he heard these names.

This has happened to Jianguo many times.

The Patriot Army, the Red Army, the founding of the People's Republic of China, the liberation of the People's Republic of China, and the aid to Korea were all gathered together.

He nodded, then looked at Feng Aijun, "Hey, let me tell you, didn't you say before that your family would not allow you to go to the black market? If you were caught, your family would be in trouble! You are not afraid of being beaten! Besides, Lao Mo "

Feng Aijun scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this, "They... they know the people who are responsible for it, saying that we are children. Even if we are caught, as long as we are not taken out of the family, at most they will criticize and educate us. Someone will take advantage of us. Because now we are being Too many people were arrested.”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole shook his head.

Damn, I want to eat meat so much that I go crazy.

As for!
He wouldn't stupidly say: Tell me what kind of meat you are short of, and I will get it for you.

Previous transactions were done under a fig leaf, and they were basically all trustworthy people.

Even in the compound, he would get some bones, pig blood, and pig water for free, just because he didn't want to get into trouble.

He looked around and said with a smile: "Okay, it's getting late, go back quickly."

Feng Aijun also nodded when he heard this, and felt frightened for a while: "Okay, thank you for today's matter! I have remembered your kindness, brother! Let's go Jianguo."

After speaking, he said hello and left.

As they walked, they heard Feng Aijun muttering: "No, go back and ask the Red Army brother to take us to the paddock, and we will fight on our own."

Yang Xiaole heard what the two said and thought about it for a while.

"Paddock?"

This name is so familiar!

Isn't that a place where ancient emperors hunted?
He ignored them and watched the two people leaving, looked around, and then found the right direction to leave.

Damn it, I just got into the alley and didn't pay attention, so I couldn't find the way.

This twists and turns.

Following one direction, we finally came to the main road in Xidan.

When I came back here, there was no one left in the black market. They were caught and run away!

Ignoring this, I rode my bike towards Suo Ye's house.

"Why, why is it so difficult for us to get something to eat, but you can buy whatever you want. If it weren't for your Hua family, would my brother have been arrested?"

When he was approaching Suo Ye's house, Yang Xiaole saw a girl muttering by the alley.

Still looking for something nearby.

Finally I touched a small stone and walked forward angrily.

Yang Xiaole parked the car at Suo Ye's door and didn't get out of the car in a hurry.

Watching the girl leave strangely.

Florist?

what happened?

Do the flowers fit into their home?
The surname Hua is rare. He only knows one Hua family in this alley. He doesn't believe that there are two Hua families by such a coincidence.

The opponent ran very fast.

After a while, we arrived at the door of Hua's house.

He took the slingshot he had prepared long ago, pulled it, and shot out.

There was a sound of cracking and breaking inside.

When the other party saw this, he looked down, found another stone, and was about to continue.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Just when he was about to do it a second time, Yang Xiaole shouted, this girl moved too fast just now, mainly because he wanted to secretly see what this guy was doing.

Not too close.

The other party was startled when he heard the shouting and ran away.

But where can the other party escape?

The car stopped directly in front of the other party: "Stop! If you run again, I will twist you and take you to the police."

Seeing him coming, the other party was frightened.

"me……"

The other party stood there hesitantly.

A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, with two braids and a mask on her face.

After Yang Xiaole looked her over, he asked her, "What are you doing! Why are you breaking down someone's door? What's your name? Tell me honestly."

"My name is Song..."

Halfway through, she came to her senses and ran away immediately: "Help, it's a murder! Help!"

Run directly to the alley.

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he was speechless for a while.

Thinking that she was just a little girl, she didn't catch up with her in the end, so she would just ask Su Ling later.

Definitely know.

I don’t know if I was woken up just now.

When he rode back, he looked up at the second floor and saw that the lights were on upstairs.

I guess I just woke up.

really.

"Who?"

After a while, I heard shouting from inside, and the door opened a crack.

"Auntie, it's me, Xiaole."

When Su Ling heard this voice, she was confused: "Xiao Le! Why is it you! What's going on? It couldn't be you who smashed the glass in our house, right? No way!"

No matter how stupid she was, she would never think that it was Yang Xiaole who broke the glass in their home.

But this was such a coincidence that she had to think twice.

Yang Xiaole also said helplessly: "Auntie, why did I smash your glass? I just went to Suo Ye's house, and when I came over, I met a little girl who hit your glass with a slingshot. Do you know her? Her surname seems to be Song. I don’t know if that’s the real last name.”

He repeated what the girl in front of him said.

"what?"

Su Ling was surprised.

After thinking about it for a moment, he asked with some uncertainty: "Is he so tall, looks wild, and has a beauty mark on the corner of his mouth?"

While talking, he also gestured.

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, he saw someone opening the door in the courtyard not far away.

Take a look around there.

is an old man.

Seeing this, Su Ling hurriedly said to him: "Come in, come in and talk."

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he followed in.

After coming in, he bolted the door and entered the main room.

Arriving at the main room, Su Ling said: "I know who you are talking about. It's that girl Qiaoqiao. What's going on? Why was his brother arrested? Did something happen outside?"

"Well, something happened. The person who just took care of it was arresting people in the black market. His brother might have been arrested."

Yang Xiaole explained, and then asked curiously: "Auntie, what's going on?"

Su Ling shook her head: "I really don't know what you are talking about. Qiaoqiao's mother used to be a servant in our family. After liberation, she stopped working in our family, but she still lives in this alley."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaole probably understood what it meant.

My family is poor, so I go to the black market for a lot of things now that they are not rationed. Now that I am caught, I attribute the reason to the Hua family.

Such people are actually very dangerous.

In those years, when people came to Hua's house to search their homes, this girl would definitely be the first to take the lead.

Thinking of this, he couldn't say it directly. No one would believe him, so he could only ask: "Auntie, when are you going to Hong Kong Island? Staying here is not an option."

Su Ling smiled and shook her head: "We are not leaving. We are waiting here for Tiantian's father. A few days ago, Brother Cao received a letter. He asked his friend in the United States to help me keep an eye on Wenxuan's whereabouts, saying that he was there. news.”

"Ah! Has the person been found?"

Yang Xiaole was surprised, this is a good thing.

The second brother Cao is naturally Suo Ye's second son, Cao Zhongxuan.

Su Ling sighed after hearing this: "No, it's just that his friend said that the team that took Tiantian's father to dig gold mines came back. They said they were taken away by a large mining team and might still be there. area."

Yang Xiaole frowned when he heard this: "Can't we find it?"

Su Ling shook her head: "I don't know the specific details. Brother Cao has now arrived in Singapore, and he is not very clear about the situation there. And according to his guess, the gold mining team may have lied, because the gold mine at that time There are many people who have not returned from the team, and Tiantian's father is just one of them. These people have one characteristic, that is, these people are all expelled people. What he means is that Tiantian's father may have been changed hands. "

After listening, Yang Xiaole roughly understood what it meant.

This kind of gold mining is legal on the surface, but there are a lot of dirty things behind it.This means that Hua Yourong's father may have been resold.

After coming back to his senses, he stopped talking about the problem and asked her, "Auntie, how should we deal with this matter?"

Su Ling thought about it and smiled: "It's okay, I can handle it myself."

Yang Xiaole nodded when he heard this and was about to leave. Thinking of the food at Hua Yourong's house, he asked, "By the way, Auntie, do you still have the overseas remittance coupons at home? Where's the cash?"

Hearing this, Su Ling was confused: "Aren't you going to get the overseas remittance coupon from the old man? I don't have much here, only more than 30 yuan. Do you want it? If so, I will give it to you .”

"Oh, forget it. Auntie, do you still have enough cash? Do you have 1000 yuan?"

Su Ling felt strange for a while after hearing this, "Did something happen to you? I have one thousand, but you have to tell me why you want so much money."

In the ten years since liberation, although there are wages in the city, consumption is not low and everyone has to buy everything.

Savings are actually not much, and only a very small number of ordinary people can save two or three hundred yuan per household.

1000 yuan is already considered a huge amount.

Yang Xiaole chuckled, "It's nothing, I'm just kidding you! Okay, I'm going to Master's place first! I'll be scolded later."

After speaking, he left with a smile.

Su Ling looked at Yang Xiaole's leaving figure, confused.

Go out and prepare to close the door.

Before he could close the door, he saw Yang Xiaole unfastening a cloth bag from the car and carrying it over.

"Auntie, you used to have enough food, but I didn't go get it. Now you don't have foreign exchange coupons. It won't be so convenient to buy things in the future. You just keep these things and don't mention the money. It's not like you don't know that I have a way. Get these.”

After saying that, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll leave first. I'll put the things at Suo Ye's place from now on. After you finish eating, you go to Suo Ye's place to get them. I'll tell Master."

After saying that, he ignored Su Ling and left directly.

"Hey, you child..."

Seeing Yang Xiaole acting like this again, Su Ling also sighed.

The chicken, duck, and fish that the family eats are all made by Yang Xiaole, and they don’t even have to pay for them.

After thinking about it, I finally went back with my things.

I couldn't lift it even after trying hard to lift it.

It's pretty heavy.

She took the things back to the main room with difficulty, and looked at the contents inside in silence.

Inside is rice flour, oil, pork, and eggs.

Leaving the bag untouched, she walked upstairs.

While walking, I was thinking about some questions.

Could it be that this kid Xiao Le has fallen in love with his girl Tiantian?
This also reminded her that her daughter was in a bad mood after helping Yang Xiaole send a letter that day, so she asked about it herself.

Her daughter was still young and didn't understand the relationship between men and women, but she still saw some signs from what her daughter said.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally stopped thinking about it.

Let it be natural!
She still liked Yang Xiaole, a clever guy.

She wouldn't interfere anyway.

She was still a little worried just thinking about her husband's thoughts.

Looking at my daughter sleeping sweetly next to me, I turned off the light and went to sleep.

Yang Xiaole returned to Suo Ye's side, and the old man was already here.

Seeing the old man's dark face, he hurriedly explained what had just happened.

After listening, the old man nodded. There was nothing he could do about it. He pointed at the stick next to him and said, "I'm going to teach you the stick technique today. Practice it yourself. As for whether you can learn the Baji Gun in the future, it depends on your basic skills." If you haven’t mastered the basic skills well, there is no need to practice big guns.”

Yang Xiaole glanced at the two sticks next to the old man.

smiled.

I have learned how to use the big gun, and I have become very proficient with the nunchucks in the past few months. From now on, I will be able to attack at close range and from far away.

Of course, this is an ordinary enemy in the future.

He would not use these stupidly to fight against the enemy in life or death. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, he could be knocked down with one shot.

I took out the sprayer and it was shocked.

Then he picked up the stick and started practicing with the old man.

Naturally, practice from the most basic level.

It's summer, and although it's early in the morning and it's not that hot, I'm covered in sweat after a little activity.

I practiced until dawn and felt that time was almost up. I took a bath in the courtyard and then prepared to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the old man calling him.

The old man returned to the room and soon took out a fist-sized cloth money bag.

"Here, didn't you ask Shaoting to get you something last time? He sent it here. He asked his friend in Jilin to find it for you. What do you want this thing for? It can't grow, and there's no place to grow it. ah!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole's eyes lit up: "Let me take a look!"

I took the thing and looked at it.

Zhang Shaoting was in the Northeast, so he just wanted to give it a try and asked him to get some ginseng seeds. Unexpectedly, he actually got them.

It is true that they are sold in pharmacies here in Kyoto, but they are all cooked and cannot be grown.

You must know that there is no such thing as understory ginseng in later generations, let alone greenhouse-cultured ginseng.

Nowadays, ginseng is extremely expensive.

Since ancient times, one or two people can make one or two gold. This is no joke.

The current gold price is just over 3 yuan, but a dried ginseng that is at least 3 years old in the drug store costs more than 20 yuan a piece and weighs only two or three grams.

It’s almost ten yuan a gram, ten times less than that, but three times is still available.

I just don’t know if the medicinal effect of space-grown ginseng is any different from that of wild ginseng.

The stuff was very light, probably only a little more than one yuan, but the quantity was really quite a lot, with the most being over 200 pills.

He put the things away with a smile and said with a smile: "Master, thank you for me if you write back, senior brother! This thing is useful to me."

The old man nodded gently when he heard the words, and went back with his back on his back.

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he tidied up and left directly.

After he came out, he rode the bike and ran away, fearing that Hua Yourong would catch him to practice riding again.

After riding for a while, I found a place to plant some ginseng seeds on the slope and some in the farmland. The rest was just waiting.

Anyway, temporarily useless.

Looking at the pheasants in the space, pheasants are now beginning to overrun.

The well water in the space has also begun to be deactivated for these, lest they cannot be loaded again.

Clean up the space and then come out directly.

Instead of going to Qiao Yan, Dalong and Huzi were going to give him gifts today to solve his problem of going to a technical secondary school.

I can’t practice with him anymore.

Thinking that I still need some gems in my own space, I rode my bike directly to Gongmei.

Now that he has a Hong Kong Island ID and passport, he can go in directly without anyone else carrying him.I changed into a dress specially bought from Hong Kong Island and went upstairs directly.

With things in hand, I went directly to the sculptured ornaments area.

"Hello, sir, what do you need?"

The waiter looked at him and came straight over and asked politely.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole took out the things he was holding and asked: "Hello, I would like to ask, I need some things made of this material. I don't need finished products, just raw materials. Can you guys help me?" Do you provide it? The price is negotiable. But the quantity must be large."

The waiter took the thing and looked at it curiously.

Then he raised his head and said hesitantly: "This... we haven't had this service here yet. Could you please wait a moment and I'll go ask."

Yang Xiaole put his hands in his pockets and nodded: "Okay, you can go and ask. I'll wait for you here."

Seeing this, the other party bowed and left directly.

Yang Xiaole watched the other party leave and wandered around the area with nothing to do.

Looking at the various exquisite items in the hall, it was a pity that none of them were cultural relics. They could be sold for ten thousand or twenty thousand in later generations, but he was not very interested.

When he came to a booth, something in a glass cabinet attracted him.

Sub-rhinoceros horn cup.

It weighs 320 grams and sells for 5600 yuan.

Expensive, this thing is really expensive.

It’s almost 9 yuan per gram. I don’t know how much this thing costs.

However, the prices of rhino horns and ivory have never been low, and the international prices are equally high.

It is estimated that they are imported materials, or left over from the past.

In the whole of Kyoto, he knew that the most used rhino horn was Tong Ren Tang’s famous life-saving medicine: Angong Niuhuang Pills.
I heard that there is a certain chance of survival for patients with cerebral hemorrhage.

The price in Tongrentang is as high as 66 yuan a piece.

In this era, the price is indeed sky-high. Those who can afford it are either the rich people in the past or those with high status.

This drug is almost a household name.

But not many have seen it.

The shape is quite quaint, but it's a pity that it's a new thing.

"Da da da!"

Hearing the sound of rapid footsteps behind him, Yang Xiaole turned around and saw the previous waiter walking over followed by a middle-aged man in a suit.

When he came closer, the man in the middle said politely: "Hey, hello, sir, may I ask your surname? My surname is Kang. You are the manager here. I heard that you want the raw materials of Indigo Naturalis?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

He is not looked down upon because of his young age. After all, diplomacy is no small matter.

Yang Xiaole also reached out and responded, nodding: "Hello, Mr. Kang, my surname is Yang, and I want some of these raw materials. I don't know if you have them here. If not, can you order some for me."

"Hey, okay, please come this way. Go to the conference room to talk."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of asking.

Yang Xiaole nodded.

He glanced at the rhino horn just now, then looked at the exquisite ivory carving next to him and said, "These two will wrap it up for me, and I will pay you later."

This ivory carving is also very beautiful.

It is a beautiful hollow spherical sculpture, and there are a total of 7 layers inside, each of which can be rotated, and each layer is complete and independent.

They all look good.

Manager Kang turned his head and looked, a little hesitant, but finally nodded and said to the waiter next to him: "Xiao Li, go and wrap the things for Mr. Yang, remember to be gentle."

The two together cost more than 6000 yuan.

I can't afford to pay for selling him.

The waiter took a look and finally nodded.

directly passed by.

Upon seeing this, Manager Kang made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Yang, could you please go through the formalities here."

Yang Xiaole also knows that he must pay first, otherwise he would not dare to give it to you.

He followed the other party to the counter.

When he came to the counter, Manager Kang said to the waitress at the bar: "Xiao Liu, go through the formalities for this gentleman. Mr. Yang bought the concentric ball and the rhinoceros horn cup."

The waitress nodded quickly when she saw this, picked up the abacus next to her and started playing.

Then he raised his head and said: "Hello, sir, the total is 6420 yuan. I need a remittance voucher of the same price."

When Yang Xiaole heard this, he did some calculations in his mind.

He took out some Hong Kong dollars directly from his bag: "According to the exchange rate of 2.34, the total is 15023, right?"

Seeing that he paid in cash, Manager Kang was not too surprised, but smiled and said: "Mr. Yang, foreign exchange must be exchanged at a special counter, the one in front."

As he spoke, he pointed to an exchange counter not far away.

Yang Xiaole glanced at where he pointed and nodded.

He naturally knows this. In addition to banks, there are exchange offices in some places, as well as international manned service departments.

It's just that he doesn't want to do it himself.

He put the money on the table and said, "Please help me have a conversation. Let's talk about the materials."

There are so many, I wonder if there are enough remittance coupons here.

After hearing this, the two of them naturally agreed.

After counting the amount of money and making sure there was no problem, I took him to the conference room.

Probably in order to cater to foreign guests, the specifications here are quite high-end.

Leather sofas, exquisite furniture and some unique lamps.

After sitting down, Manager Kang asked: "Mr. Yang, do you need something to drink? Tea, coffee, or something else?"

Yang Xiaole shook his head.

"No need, finish talking early and go back early."

After hearing this, Manager Kang nodded slightly and said straight to the point: "I don't know what kind of indigo Mr. Yang needs. If he needs a few gem-level ones, they will be expensive."

Then he explained: "Indigo is imported from Iraq and is not produced in my country. There are four grades in total.

The first type is the worst. This type of indigo contains less than 30%, and is more white and gold. The blue color no longer appears in the film, but light blue and gray-white spots form, giving people a gray-headed look.lowest price.

The second color is a bit like a scarab beetle. The shell is shiny, the gold is in lumps, flakes or as it is, and there are more impurities. There are white spots and white flowers. The blueness of the color is reduced, showing a light blue color. The blue and white are uneven and the texture is not delicate enough. , in short, it gives people a very fancy feeling, and the price is slightly higher.More than ten yuan per pound. "

Yang Xiaole nodded and continued listening.

"The third type is the gem level. The content of this level of indigo is 3%~90%, with pyrite and a small amount of impurities, no white or gold, the color is uniform and pure, roughly the same as the previous level, the texture is fine, and there will be The effect of gold star embellishment, no white spots and white spots.

Due to the low output of gem-grade products, the price is based on specifications and is measured in grams. Depending on the quality, it ranges from a few cents to a few cents per gram.

The last kind has almost no other mineral impurities, no gold or white, and this grade of lapis lazuli can be said to be only "green" and not "gold". The color is a rich dark blue, with no variegation, no color difference, and no texture. Even and pure, very fine and smooth.They are generally used in foreign jewelry design and are very expensive. They are also sold by the gram, and one gram can cost several yuan or even dozens of yuan. "

After saying that, he looked at Yang Xiaole: "I wonder which one Mr. Yang needs?"

Yang Xiaole thought about it for a moment and realized that gem level was no longer necessary.

There is indeed a lot of energy, but the amount is too small to make much sense.

According to the grade, the one I bought before should be the second grade.

Then he said: "Manager Kang, I would like to ask, how much can we get of the second type you mentioned, which does not reach gem level, and how long will it take to get it?"

Manager Kang shook his head: "Sorry, Mr. Yang, I can't give you an answer to this. After all, this is imported. We are not sure about the output and specifications that can be provided over there. And it needs to be shipped from us to Yili by sea. , one round trip, plus the preparation work of selecting and transporting it, it will take at least three to four months, and there are many uncertain factors in it.”

Yang Xiaole heard this and thought about it.

It's really a long time.

And there are too many uncertain factors in the process.

It is indeed a bit difficult to ask the other party to give a specific answer.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Mr. Kang, do you think this will work? I'll leave 30 Hong Kong dollars here as a deposit. For goods not exceeding [-] Hong Kong dollars, I can have as much as I want. I'll give you half a year. Do you think it's okay?" ?”

Manager Kang swallowed.

I met a big customer today.

30 Hong Kong dollars in foreign exchange is a huge amount of money.

Forget it, the two ornaments just sold, the rhinoceros horn cup and the ivory carving, are already some of the more expensive items in the store, and they have not been sold for a long time.

He hesitated and said, "Mr. Yang, I can't make the decision on this. We need to report it and we can only give you an answer after a meeting to decide."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole shook his head.

Why are you here if you can't make the decision?
Another meeting.

This is the shortcoming of the system.

During the big wave of reform, state-owned enterprises could not make money in this way.

The sales department finds and designs a product that is originally a hit in the market. If it needs to be produced, it will have to hold a meeting to study it. If it is fast, it will take a few months, if it is slow, it will be a year or two.

By the time they are batched, they will all be discarded.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Because they are afraid of taking responsibility.

After thinking about it, he was not in a hurry anyway, and finally nodded: "Okay, then I'll come over in a few days to have a look, or if you have news, you can send me a telegram."

"Hey, okay, thank you Mr. Yang for understanding."

The matter was decided, Yang Xiaole left Hua Yourong's address.

Then the two of them left the conference room.

When we came outside, the previous waiter Xiao Li was already waiting there.

"Mr. Yang, these are the receipts. Please count them."

After saying that, I handed him a pile of tickets.

Yang Xiaole took it and counted it.

Overseas remittance coupons are not just simple face value coupons, but also have many supplementary coupons. These are some of the rations.

Supply per 2 yuan: twelve catties of grain, 2 catties of cooking oil, 2 catties of brown sugar, 10 catties of meat, [-] catties of cotton cloth...

The number is actually quite a lot.

I gave more than 6000 RMB, and multiplied everything by 64.

The food alone is seven to eight hundred kilograms.

There are quite a lot of things, but only foreign guests and overseas Chinese can use them, otherwise they won't even be able to get through the gate.

She is not in short supply either, so when the time comes the food and the like will be left to Su Ling.

You can keep the others for now and buy them later and put them in your space.

After counting, he put the things away and said, "No problem. If Manager Kang has any news, please send me a telegram as soon as possible."

"Hey, don't worry."

Manager Kang was polite.

Things were settled, and there was nothing to do for sightseeing. I took a look inside and left Gongmei directly.

After coming out, I rode my bike directly home.

There's nothing to do.

When I got home, the radio was playing in the house.

It’s Peking Opera again.

Several people gathered around, listening to the radio with great interest, their heads almost immersed in the radio.

As for homework?
If you think too much, not many people will calm down and finish their homework until school starts soon.

Ignoring them, I poured some water, washed the sweat off my face, and went back into the house to lie down.

In this hot weather, he didn't even want to move.

I got some granules and put them in water and drank them. It felt better.

I was fanning myself there with an old-fashioned cattail leaf fan.

"Hey, Xiaole! Can you lend me some money?"

Just as I took out a novel, I saw the eldest sister walking in mysteriously from outside.

Yang Xiaole glanced at her, feeling strange for a while: "Why do you want money?"

The pocket money I gave to my eldest sister when I had nothing to do was not too small.

It's about ten yuan a month.

Where have children from ordinary families seen pocket money these days?
Helping the family make soy sauce and buying cigarettes, it would be nice to have a few cents left over.

It’s almost like I’m in high school.

Hearing this, the eldest sister lay on the kang and smiled: "Do you remember what I said last time, I want to buy a violin? Mom won't let me, so I was planning to secretly go to Jiang Yan's place to learn piano with her today. Yes. We suddenly have to build a reservoir! I just want to get the money together first."

After saying that, he smiled there.

After Yang Xiaole heard this, he thought about it and realized that this was the case.

In the house Jiang Yan went to, the stepmother knew a little about the violin and also had an old violin.

The eldest sister came back and said once that she wanted to buy a piano and learn from her.

It costs more than 30 yuan for a violin. It's strange that my mother is willing to do it.

The eldest sister never looked for him afterwards, so she didn't pay much attention to him.

Then he glanced at her and said with a smile: "How much is missing?"

"15!!"

Upon seeing this, the eldest sister quickly gestured with her hands, and then looked at him eagerly.

Seeing her expression, Yang Xiaole took out twenty coins from his pocket and gave it to her: "Here, when you learn it later, it will be good to be a primary school music teacher. It doesn't take a lot of brain work."

"Hey, thanks, bro."

Yang Xiaole waved his hands carelessly: "It's okay, by the way, let's talk about it first. Since you and Jiang Yan have made an agreement, I won't say it anymore. But there is one thing. If you don't learn from Jiang Yan's mother, you will not be happy. If you don’t, just come back and go to the Children’s Palace to study. The tuition fee is more than 100 yuan! We are not short of this money, do you hear me?”

From their last encounter, he felt that Jiang Yan, the new mother, was not an easy person to get along with.

"It's okay! In fact, her mother is not that difficult to get along with."

The eldest sister smiled casually when she heard this.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole shrugged: "It's up to you. If you feel wronged when the time comes, don't cry and come over and say it. Also, don't bring this piano back, just leave it at Jiang Yan's house. Did you hear that? Wait until you fully learn it. , and when you get it back, tell me that you secretly learned it from Jiang Yan’s mother, so that your father and mother won’t hear it and murmur.”

"Hey, I know! I won't tell you if you can't learn it, that's it!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole twisted his body to make himself more comfortable, and said, "I hope so! Anyway, you'd better ask if you want money before you go, so as not to be unhappy when you get there. If not, you can go to the Children's Palace to learn .”

"Okay, I see."

The eldest sister said it nonchalantly and left directly.

Looking at her leaving figure, Yang Xiaole just glanced at her and then looked away.

He also knows how to play musical instruments.

The old dean taught him before. At first, he only learned flute and harmonica due to cost issues.

Later, someone from the orphanage donated a second-hand piano and tinkered with it for a while.

Not to mention how precise it is, at least it can be played out smoothly.

It seems it's time to practice.

Picking up girls from now on...

Nonsence……

In the future, when traveling in the world, you will have to have some skills with you!
In fact, many people in Kyoto know how to play musical instruments, but the music school was just established last year.

Ordinary people still have no access to these things.

Because the prices of art-related things these days are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

And there is another reason, that is, teaching music these days is not like the interest classes of later generations. You just pay the money and you go to learn, and the teacher doesn't care how you learn in the future.

This more than 100 yuan is not for a semester or a year, but for graduation.

Learn until you become a master.

When learning a craft these days, the teacher still has to see if you have the talent.

Without this talent, people would still return the money.

Wherever it comes from, it goes.

He also knew this through Su Ling.

Because Su Ling had previously considered going to the Children's Palace to teach ballet, and she had been invited there.

But considering that the family is not short of money, and once I go to the Children's Palace to teach ballet, I don't have much time to take care of my daughter, and I will have to work on weekends, even less time.

In the end it was over.
