Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 41, sweet dreams! (Please read, please vote)

Wang Qinghe nodded when he heard this.

Said: "I also agreed on the eggs and meat. 5 pounds of meat will be exchanged for 5 pounds of large quilt. The quilt is old, but I looked at it and found that the things are good. They are all left uncovered. There is no watch, but there is a piece Pocket watch, 3 pounds of meat and 20 eggs. If there is any leftover, exchange it for money and follow the black market price."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong frowned.

Meat exchange and quilt should be considered equivalent.

Because based on the quantitative prices, both prices are about one yuan per catty.

The cotton ration is small, and the meat is not sold directly now, so no one loses if one pound is exchanged for one pound.

Mainly this pocket watch.

Who cares about this thing?

Nowadays, watches are rare. How beautiful is the plum blossom steel band watch? It is also made of glass. Even if it is old, it is more beautiful than a pocket watch!

Seeing his expression, the second brother smiled and said, "If you don't want it, forget it. We'll find a way later."

After hearing this, Wang Qingsong thought for a while and agreed.

The cheapest new watch is 60 yuan a piece.

The problem is not the price, but that watches also require tickets. If you don’t want tickets, use industrial coupons, and you will get 60 industrial coupons.

How could he get so many industrial coupons?
  "A pocket watch is a pocket watch!"

Seeing his expression, the second brother smiled: "Don't underestimate this pocket watch! When I bought it before, I heard that it cost nearly 200 yuan!"

Wang Qingsong smiled and nodded: "I know, that's all."

When the second brother heard this, he looked at his feet and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you some shoes!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, finding two pairs of cotton shoes from the closet.

One big and one small.

He handed it to him directly: "I can get you a new pair of cotton shoes, but your brother and I don't have the ability to make quilts. It's not like you don't know about cotton now. Each of us only has two taels of cotton a year. We can only find it." My father-in-law has changed."

Wang Qingsong happily took the shoes, white-soled gangster old cotton shoes.

Of course he can understand the second brother.

The quilts at home looked nice, but in fact they were all obtained from his father-in-law, and he was too embarrassed to open his mouth.

Since cotton was classified as a first-level strategically controlled material in 53, the annual quota has been very small. In the past, there was only half a catty a year, but now there are only two taels.

"Okay, let's give it a try! If there's no problem, I'll move the things to him later so that he doesn't have to worry about it."

Wang Qingsong heard this, put down his shoes, took off his shoes and put on this new pair of cotton shoes.

Then he smiled and raised his head: "Brother, it's so warm!"

"Are you warm? Don't take it off, just wear this."

The second brother laughed when he saw this, then stood up and said: "I will go to the backyard to borrow a steelyard, weigh the things, and send them to my father-in-law later."

After finishing speaking, he went out directly.

Wang Qingsong watched his second brother leave, still touching his new cotton shoes.

Comfortable indeed!

After a few days, I found an opportunity to change out of my cotton clothes and into something warmer.

The second brother came back quickly.

He held a steel scale in his hand and hooked it directly on the flour bag: "I'll weigh it first to avoid having to argue over it."

Then he lifted and moved the weight a few times.

After putting it down, look carefully.

Then he raised his head and said: "It's exactly 40 kilograms, but this bag is about half a kilogram, almost 39 and a half kilograms."

"Well, almost!"

Wang Qingsong probably didn't think it was just right. After all, flour rarely leaked out after being filled with rice, but there was a little bit of flour.

After confirming it, I looked at the meat in the basket, looked around, found a small cloth bag, put some in it and started weighing it.

Some are big and some are small, and the body shape is uneven.

After trying it several times, the second brother finally tried it out and said: "8 pounds and 1 tael, one tael more, and the noodles are half a catty less, so just cancel it out! You won't suffer any loss."

Wang Qingsong nodded, indeed he was not at a disadvantage.

"Okay, that's it!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at how many pieces of meat were left in the basket and said, "Second brother, help me weigh it. How much does this meat weigh in total? By the way, weigh it separately."

The second brother glanced at this and nodded.

Take the meat and hang it on the hook.

Weighed the four pieces of meat.

"4 taels are 2 cents, 6 taels are about 3 cents, this one weighs two taels per pound, and this one weighs one pound is just right."

The weights were reported one by one.

Wang Qingsong nodded.

There is still a piece left in the Bagua mirror, which is about 2 kilograms. Here is a little more than three kilograms.

Plus a dollop for myself and for my eldest sister.

In other words, Zhou Ying gave him nearly 14 kilograms of meat.

This is a huge debt!
  Looking at the biggest piece of meat, he picked it up and said, "Second brother, you can exchange this piece of meat and eggs into money for me."

Wang Qinghe looked at it and nodded: "Okay, it's not a big problem. I'll take it to you to ask."

The price of meat now is very strange.

There is a price but no market and there is a market but no price, both of which are reflected in the meat.

The listed price is one piece per pound, but now meat stamps are no longer issued except under special circumstances.

So ten yuan on the black market is also a sky-high price.

People who can afford it sometimes can't buy it at this price because the meat is too rare. People who buy it rely on luck, because you may not meet anyone selling meat.

But similarly, the seller also relies on fate. Few people care about this price because it is too expensive.

Most people cannot afford to buy meat for ten yuan a pound.

It's the vast majority, not the majority.

After the discussion, the second brother wrapped the things in a cloth bag: "I'll take the flour, you take the rest and come with me. Be careful not to break the eggs."

Wang Qingsong nodded.

We took forty eggs together.

As for the meat, two small pieces were left behind.

The second brother thought he would leave it here for a while, so he didn't care.

The two took their things and went out.

After coming out, he naturally attracted the attention of a group of people.

However, Wang Qinghe ignored them, said hello with a smile and left the compound, leaving a group of people talking among themselves.

After coming out, the second brother put the flour on the big pole and motioned for him to come up.

Upon seeing this, Wang Qingsong got into the car carefully.

Then the car set off.

While walking on the road, Wang Qingsong thought of something and asked him: "Second brother, did you give them what I asked you to give to the eldest brother?"

The second brother turned around and said with a smile while riding the bike. "Yes, we both had a rest yesterday and sent it to them."

Then he smiled and said: "Boss thought I was teasing him! I don't believe you gave it to him! You said you did it!"

Wang Qingsong didn't care when he heard this, they were all his brothers.

And he wished he could say it belonged to his second brother!
  Thinking of this, he said: "Second brother, just put me near the station after you finish it. You can divide the meat with the eldest brother, but don't say it was given by me."

"hiss!!"

The second brother heard this and the car slowed down: "Hey, what are you doing! That thing is not yours."

In his opinion, the third child should be reselling with someone.

After giving him so many things, what should the third child do?
  "Second brother, do you think I am such a stupid person? Don't worry! When I run out of food, I will ask you for more."

These words made Wang Qinghe suspicious for a while: ‘Is it really okay? ’

"Don't worry! But again, second brother, you have to promise me that no one else will know about this matter."

After hearing what he said, Wang Qinghe hesitated for a while and nodded gently.

He agreed: "Don't worry, I got this thing and it's my fault. If anyone asks, I'll just say I got it from my father-in-law."

Don't let anyone know about Lao San. He is reselling controlled materials. A little bit is fine, but if the quantity is large, it will be troublesome.

"Thank you, second brother!"

"Hey, are you so polite to your second brother?"

Wang Qinghe smiled carelessly.

Then he thought of something and said, "You mean, you won't be home for dinner for a while, right?"

"Don't eat, I have important things to do!"

He will go to the department store later!
  And I had to go to the bank to exchange a few three-yuan notes.

One piece is worth tens of thousands, but ten pieces are worth hundreds of thousands!
  But don't be in a hurry, just get a few of them first. Having so much money will be enough for you to consume for a period of time, and you can also fill up your cellar.

At this time, Wang Qingsong was having a sweet dream!
  Wang Qinghe thought of so many things and knew that the third child might really have something going on, so he finally nodded and agreed.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the door of a small western-style building.

After the car parked, he said: "You wait here for me to go in and get it done. I usually don't bother to come here, so don't go in."

Wang Qingsong nodded lightly when he heard this: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside. But remember to return this bag to me, and I will return it to others!"

He handed the thing to him smoothly.

Wang Qinghe shook his head speechlessly, put down the noodle bag, took his things, went straight over and pushed the door open.

"dad!!"

Only Wang Qinghe's shouting was heard.

Wang Qingsong stood outside, looking at the small foreign-style building, thinking about the future house.

It seems like this house is similar to the one in the future.

This old man is so rich!

Then he waited there quietly.

The cold and fever had just subsided, but at this time his body was still a little weak and not very comfortable.

But the second brother also moved very quickly.

After a while, I watched him come out carrying two flour bags tied together and put them directly on the car.

"This is eighty pounds of corn noodles. This is a pocket watch. I'll go in and bring the quilt over." He put the corn noodles away and handed him a pocket watch.

After that, he ran back again.

Wang Qingsong looked at the pocket watch in his hand curiously.

It is round, and when you open it with your hands, there is a dial with a glass surface and only two hands.

There is also a long chain.

There is also a key-like thing on it.

The second brother came back after a while and stuffed the quilt into him: "Okay, everything is complete. By the way, here's 42 yuan! This is a noodle bag."

Stuffed the dough bag in the car.

I gave him the money by the way.

Wang Qingsong hugged the quilt and watched his second brother stuff money into his pocket.

Knowing that this was the money exchanged for twenty extra eggs and more than two kilograms of meat, the eggs should be calculated according to the black market price, which is one yuan each.

"What the hell is this? This Bagua Mirror is already rusty. What else do you need it for? Throw it away!"

When the second brother was stuffing money, he wiped the Bagua mirror and thought it was the rags picked up by the younger brother, so he was going to throw it away.

"Hey, second brother, don't throw it away, don't throw it away!"

This shocked Wang Qingsong. This is his treasure!

The second brother, who was about to throw it away, heard this, looked through it, and said strangely: "Why are you keeping a broken Bagua mirror!"

However, he still stuffed the Bagua Mirror into his clothes.

Didn't care.

He said to him: "That pocket watch can be used, and the time has been adjusted for you. Remember to twist the spring every day to give it strength, otherwise it will not leave. Do you know? I will teach you!"

As he spoke, he took the pocket watch in his hand and gave him a look.

"Did you see it? It's so exciting!!"

I saw the second brother holding the key-like thing on the chain, stuffing it into a hole in the back, and twisting it clockwise a few times.

Wang Qingsong hugged the quilt and stretched his head to look there.

Very simple!

Then he nodded: "Yeah, I know! You have to work hard every day, right?"

"Well, you have to do it every day! It's best to do it once every half a day, lest you forget it and it won't go away."

"Oh, I see!"

Wang Qingsong understood and nodded.

Seeing this, the second brother looked around and asked, "Are we going to the bus station now?"

"Well, you take me to the bus station and someone will come to pick up my things in a moment!!"

After hearing this, the second brother was a little curious, but seeing that the third brother refused to say anything, he had no choice but to agree.

Then he got in the car and took him towards Fuchengmen!

When we came to the neighborhood, there were newly demolished city walls everywhere, with many large blue bricks piled around and covered with weeds.

"Hey, second brother, wherever you go, I'll be waiting for you there."

Approaching the station, Wang Qingsong saw a big blue brick on the other side and said.

There are people hiding behind there.

Wang Qinghe took a look and asked, "Are you sure you want to put it there? Is it unsafe?"

Carrying food these days is like carrying explosives.

But it should be fine during the day.

Mainly it's dangerous at night.

"It's okay, just leave it there!"

Seeing that the third child insisted, Wang Qinghe could only turn the car and send him over.

After getting out of the car, I helped him move his things to the back of the pile, and then asked worriedly: "Is this okay? Will there be any problems?"

"Don't worry. Second brother, please leave first. Others don't dare to come here while you are here!"

Hearing this, Wang Qinghe hesitated for a moment, looked around, and finally nodded: "Okay, then I'm leaving! If you have any difficulties, remember to come to the second brother."

"Hey, don't worry, okay, second brother, let's go!"

Seeing the look of the third child, Wang Qinghe also shook his head speechlessly: "Okay, I'm leaving."

After a while of ink staining, he rode away on his bike.

After the people left, Wang Qingsong stood there and looked around. At this time, there were still some people walking around on the roadside.

Seeing his second brother walking away, he quietly came back.

Put everything away.

Then he looked at the Bagua Mirror in his hand, thought about it, and put it into the inner pocket of his cotton-padded coat.

Don't lose it.

The second child had just startled him.

After finishing it, he did not take the main road, but took a detour from the wasteland behind to the station.

After I came out, I looked around, then headed into the station, made some inquiries, and got on the bus to Wangfujing Street.

There is a No. 1 Department Store over there.

Although he has never been there, he has heard of it!

People all over the country look at Kyoto, and all of Kyoto looks at No. 1 Department Store.

This is known as the largest and most comprehensive department store. It has everything that is available in other places, and it also has everything that is not available in other places.

The fare is 9 cents.

After paying, he waited there quietly.

After waiting for a while, the car started. About twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the First Department Store.

Wang Qingsong asked several times in the middle, because he was afraid that he would miss his station.

The conductor was a little impatient.

After getting out of the car, Wang Qingsong looked at this huge building standing here, with a total of six floors.

Compared with it, it is surrounded by low courtyards, and there are also a few newly built houses, but most of them only have one floor.

The facade of the building is very large.

There were many people on tricycles waiting at the door.

Instead of rushing in, I found a place nearby and counted the money.

I don’t have the three yuan of RMB I want.

However, he knew that the money in his hand was precious, so he carefully put the money away.

He glanced at the building in front of him and walked in curiously.

Although it was Monday, there were still a lot of people inside.

Most of the people here were wearing bright clothes, which was in sharp contrast to the patched clothes on his body.

There are also people who apply patches, but the number of patches is not as large as his.

Of course, it's not absolute. There are also some people wearing patches like him, looking around inside.

Some dare not approach.

There are many large round pillars on the first floor.

The stalls are surrounded by pillars, and most of them are glass cabinets.

Shoppers looked here and there. .

Wang Qingsong walked in curiously like a country bumpkin.

Although the eldest brother and the second brother are both in the city, the eldest brother rarely comes to the department store. He has been to Kyoto since his marriage, but he has never been there.

After all, the second brother only got married last year.

Everything seems very novel.

Now during the Chinese New Year, the cloth selling area has a long area with several counters, and cloths of various styles are neatly lined up at the back.

A large group of people gathered in front of the counter, buying cloth in a lively manner.

The shouts came and went.

It's a pity that there is no cloth ticket, so he can only look at it!

Next to the cloth sellers are the fur sellers.

The north has been very cold since ancient times.

People in Kyoto have had the habit of buying furs since ancient times. Naturally, these businesses will not disappear like this after liberation.

Rabbit skin, shit, sheepskin... you can say it has everything.

Ordinary people just buy some rabbit skins and shit to make hats and tubes. Rich people buy wolf skins and even ordinary mink skins.

The price is not cheap either. The cheapest rabbit skin costs three yuan a piece.

However, it is clean and refreshing.

After watching it for a while, Wang Qingsong stopped looking.

If you want a ticket, you won't get a ticket. If you don't want a ticket, the price will be ridiculously high, or you will need industrial coupons.

Go straight to the cosmetics counter.

There are many things displayed here.

Toothpaste, bagged face cream, snow clam oil, soap, soap, oral ester...

Everything you need for daily use is available.

He was dazzled by the various brands.

There are many kinds of lip balm, not only from Kyoto, but also from Shanghai, some come in bags, some come in glass...

After looking at it for a while, he finally chose a glass-packed cream.

Ya Shuang.

Two yuan and eighty-two cents a bottle.

Then the baby put the things away.

Fortunately, this is free of charge.

After paying the money, he didn't stop and had to go to the bank to get some three yuan coins! That is the fundamental thing!
  Thinking of this, he left the department store directly.

But just as he arrived at the door, he heard two people talking in a low voice.
