Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 125 The sensation in the courtyard and Yi Zhonghai’s thoughts

Just do it if you think of it.

After Xiang Yunduan came out of the department store, he went directly to the entrustment store where he bought watches and bicycles last time.

"Master Dong, are you busy?"

Xiang Yunduan entered the commission store, looked around, and found that there were a few customers inside. Old Man Dong was arguing with one of the customers.

"you are?"

Old Man Dong glanced at Xiang Yunduan, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face.

Xiang Yunduan looked at Old Man Dong carefully and found that the old man's expression did not look like he was pretending.

He knew the location of the black market from Old Man Dong, and the last time he knew the location of the black market from Old Man Dong, he caused a big fuss in the black market not long after.

When he went to the black market, he wore a monkey face mask the whole time. His appearance was changed, so he didn't have to worry about being recognized. But the only loophole was Old Man Dong. After all, the incident in the black market was too close to the time when he inquired about the black market. Yes, if you are someone who is interested, even if you are not sure, you will definitely associate it with him.

"Muza?"

"What should I do? Can't I spend money to buy something that I don't know is good or bad?" Xiang Yunduan said.

Taking the record from Old Man Dong, it felt heavy and weighty in my hand.

"Oh, don't you remember? I bought a bicycle here last time." Xiang Yunduan said.

"Oh, by the way, Master Dong, you have to give these things a try, right? I don't know if they are good or bad? Can they make any sound? Don't leave them for too long and they won't sound!" They all walked out of the door. Xiang Yunduan turned back again.

Old Man Dong didn't know whether he really remembered it or didn't want Xiang Yunduan to continue talking, so he interrupted him directly: "It's your boy, are you going to buy something this time?"

"A record costs one yuan. There are six in total, so that's six yuan!" Old Man Dong said.

"Turkish March?"

"There are some records. The person who bought the record player wanted to listen to the opera, so he bought all the opera records. The ones left behind were really songs. The foreign one you mentioned also has some. It seems to be called Muza. , but it doesn’t sing, it just makes a beep beep sound!” Old Man Dong said.

In addition to pieces by Mozart, there are also pieces by Chopin and Tchaikovsky.

Judging from the specifications of these records, they are all 78 rpm, and each side can only be recorded for five minutes at most. So even though there are six records, there is actually not much content.

Xiang Yunduan approached Mr. Dong and whispered: "That time, when I came here, you were reading behind the counter. I took a look and saw that there seemed to be Jin Lian, Ximen Daguan and so on. Oh, by the way, there was also an illustration. Well, just the grape trellis and the swing, you were just watching..."

"Is there a record player?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

Xiang Yunduan nodded. Although it was not seven days without a reason, two days was enough.

But looking at Old Man Dong's reaction at this moment, it seems that he has forgotten him. It seems that Old Man Dong didn't think about him at all during the black market incident. Otherwise, he would never have been able to recognize him like he is now.

But maybe it was because too many people had bought bicycles, but Old Man Dong still looked puzzled and didn't think about it at all.

"Watch! I also bought a watch, the one that was sold several times and returned, the one that couldn't be repaired!"

"So expensive?"

However, things like record players seemed to be quite high-end. He walked around a lot and didn't really encounter them again until he entered the Beixinqiao Commission Store.

It's better that Old Man Dong can't remember him. The more he can't remember, the more flawless the black market thing is.

Xiang Yunduan took it over and looked at it. The songs include "The Sky in the Liberated Area", "Dock Workers' Song", "Graduation Song", "Yellow River Cantata", "Newspaper Selling Song", etc. There are also several pure music songs, including Dong The one the old man said.

"Don't sing? That's pure music. Take it out and let me see it!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Isn't this "Turkish March"? This is Mozart's music! Mozart? Muza?"

Xiang Yunduan muttered, this translation is different from that of later generations. For the last song "When You Get Old", Tao Xiaoye translated Yeats into Ye Ci.

"Then we can't try it. The record player has been bought. How can we try it?" Old Man Dong said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I remembered, stop talking!"

On the other hand, you can collect more records so that you don’t have to listen to them later.

Since you are planning to buy a record player, you must also have records, otherwise what are you going to listen to?
Anyway, he has made up his mind to buy a record player. If there is no record player here, he will go to other commission stores to check. Anyway, there are many commission shops in Sijiu City, so he will definitely be able to find it.

Although it has been so long, who knows if the police are still investigating?
"Record player? Oops, you're late. I originally had one, but it was sold last week!" Old Man Dong said.

After leaving Dongdan, a commission store, Xiang Yunduan went to other commission shops.

"How much does this add up to?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

Having not used English for a long time, Xiang Yunduan was relatively unfamiliar, and he could barely identify it after thinking about it.

"Really? Are there any records? Operas, songs, etc. are all fine, even foreign ones!" Xiang Yunduan asked again.

After the black market incident was over, Xiang Yunduan once wanted to silence Old Man Dong. Later, he found that there was nothing unusual about Old Man Dong and he was not a murderous person, so he did not take action.

"Okay, as long as you say this!"

Soon, Old Man Dong dug out a few records from somewhere. Fortunately, they seemed to be well preserved and had covers on the outside.

Xiang Yunduan was stunned and shook his head, not recognizing him.

Xiang Yunduan specifically turned on the Omega watch on his wrist. At this moment, Old Man Dong seemed to remember something.

"Well, let's do this. I'll give you two days. If there is any problem within two days, you can send it back and I will refund the money to you. How about that?" Old Man Dong said.

"Okay, I want them all, wrap them up for me!" Xiang Yunduan said while taking out the money.

Xiang Yunduan was a little stunned, but think about it, recording these vinyl records, which have been eliminated in later generations, is really not a simple matter in this era, so it should be more expensive.

This is a large commission store similar in size to the Dongdan Commission Shop. Moreover, the items sold in this commission shop seem to be rather geared towards these types of machinery.

There were not only record players, but also cameras, tape recorders, etc. Xiang Yunduan also found a wooden box for playing foreign films.

He didn't look much at other things. In fact, many things were quite attractive to him, but he didn't have much money, so he couldn't buy whatever he wanted. He could only buy a record player.

Of course, he also bought all the records here. Fortunately, there was no duplicate content with the records he bought before.

The record player was not as expensive as expected, only fifty-three yuan, probably because it was second-hand or even third-hand or fourth-hand.

……

When Xiang Yunduan pushed his bicycle into the courtyard, there was an immediate sensation in the courtyard.

There is no other reason. There is a record player strapped to the back seat of the bicycle and a radio hanging from the front handlebar. For ordinary families, it is certainly not an exaggeration to say that this thing is a luxury item.

Nowadays, although young people pay attention to "three turns and one ring" when they get married, in fact, as long as they can buy any one of the three turns and one ring, it is already considered a very good condition.

When Jia Dongxu got married, he asked Yi Zhonghai, a master, to borrow money to buy a sewing machine. Qin Huairu could marry Jia Dongxu not only because of Jia Dongxu's identity as a city man, but also because of the sewing machine.

However, whether it is a bicycle or a sewing machine, these are things that are very helpful in daily life, especially the sewing machine. With this, it is very convenient to make clothes at home, and you can even help others make clothes for a fee.

In contrast, things like radios are not very practical for ordinary people, so many people will never buy them, even if they have the spare money.

This is true for radios, not to mention record players.

Therefore, the two "big items" Xiang Yunduan bought were the first ones in the yard, and others did not have them at all, including Yi Zhonghai, a wealthy family in the yard.

It's not that Yi Zhonghai can't afford it, nor is it because he doesn't have tickets, it's mainly because most people don't realize buying this thing.

"Terminal, did you buy this?"

As soon as he entered the hospital, Xiang Yunduan was stopped by Yan Bugui who was watering the flowers on the window sill outside after getting off work.

"Of course I bought it, otherwise it could have been stolen? Our courtyard is an advanced courtyard house, and I am a newly promoted coordinator. Can I do something like that to discredit the courtyard?" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Hey, kid, why are you like Lao Yi, talking about the advanced courtyard all day long? Why didn't I see you mention it before?" Yan Bugui looked at Xiang Yunduan suspiciously and said.

"Maybe it's because I became a coordinator and became more aware!"

Xiang Yunduan propped up the bicycle, and then moved the record player and radio into the house.

Yan Bugui followed naturally.

Of course, there are others, such as Shazhu, Liu Guangqi, Yan Jiecheng, etc., all of whom look very curious.

"Da Mao, why don't you go in?" Someone outside the house looked at Xu Damao and asked.

"Oh, isn't it just a gramophone and a radio? What's so great about it, I've heard it a long time ago!" Xu Damao said with disdain, then turned and left.

In the last fight, Xiang Yunduan did not help Xu Damao, but instead helped Shazhu, which made Xu Damao very angry.

This guy is not a magnanimous gentleman to begin with, but a real villain. Naturally, he has no magnanimity, and he is the kind of character who will retaliate for his anger.

Xiang Yunduan was already very angry if he didn't help him. What added fuel to the fire was that he and Sha Zhu had sworn hatred. When Xiang Yunduan and Sha Zhu stood together, they were Xu Damao's enemies.

As for the little friendship before, it has long since disappeared.

"Bah, what are you doing? Have you heard of it a long time ago? I just saw it at Lou Xiao'e's house, and you are so proud of eating soft food? Then why does Niu go to the countryside to play movies every day? You bitch, look at it Well, your wife will wear a hat for you sooner or later!"

Seeing Xu Damao disappear behind the Moon Gate, the man said very angrily.

"Come on, come on, Zhuzi, I'll play you a piece of music, and I'll make sure you don't make a sound once you listen to it!"

In the room, Xiang Yun saw a lot of people crowded in, and knew that if he didn't show this thing today, he might not be able to do it.

Since everyone wanted to see something new, he was naturally not stingy. He opened the record player, took out a record, put it on top, then shook the handle, and finally put the needle on it.

"Dang-dang-dang!"

As the stylus came into contact with the film, passionate music immediately sounded from the record player's speaker.

The record that Xiang Yunduan picked contained Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny".

Of course, there is only the first chapter. The complete song is too long, and one film is not enough to include both front and back.

"This is?"

Everyone was shocked by the sudden and exciting music, but everyone had different expressions.

Silly Zhu squinted his eyes and shook his head slightly to the melody. His expression was as if he really heard something.

In the TV series, it seemed that this was the song that Silly Zhu heard when he first listened to it?

"Terminal, how much did you spend on this?"

After the song ended, everyone woke up from a dream, but Yan Bugui was still concerned about money as always.

"It's not expensive. The record player and radio cost less than 120 yuan in total. If you want to buy it, Third Uncle, you can definitely afford it!" Xiang Yunduan said.

He used to think that Yan Bugui's family was relatively poor, but the last time he looked for a job for Yan Jiecheng, Yan Bugui took out three hundred yuan at once, which surprised him a little.

The Yan family is not as poor as it seems.

"You kid can stand and talk without your back hurting. You can feed one person and the whole family is not hungry, and you still have time to listen to the radio and record player. Where can I get so much money? Besides, if I have the free time to listen to this, I might as well go Catching two fish!" Yan Bugui said angrily.

However, Yan Bugui had no intention of buying it, but others in the crowd had their thoughts on it.

This person is none other than Yi Zhonghai.

In the past, Yi Zhonghai would not have been willing to be so high-profile. After all, he was a senior official and everything in the yard was under his control, which was high-profile enough.

If he is too high-profile, he will easily be hated by others. In addition, he wants to save money for retirement and is not willing to spend money carelessly.

But now, things are different.

His status as a great man was revealed, and the people in the yard no longer looked at him with the same awe as before.

A thorny person like Xu Damao didn't dare to show mercy to him before, but now he dares to attack him.

This situation must be reversed!
Yi Zhonghai has been thinking about how to regain his prestige during this time.
At this moment, looking at the crowd of people in Xiang Yunduan's room, he had an idea.

Although he is no longer a grown man, he still has money!

Moreover, he is still a level 7 fitter.

With such an identity, there is no reason not to be respected?

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai made up his mind that he also wanted to buy a radio!

Not only did he want to buy a radio, but he also wanted to buy a bicycle, and a watch, everything!
He felt that he could no longer remain unknown in the courtyard, and had to do something eye-catching to let people in the courtyard see that Yi Zhonghai had not recovered from his fall.

Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized at this moment that the more depressed he was, the more he had to keep a high profile.

Respect Luo Yi first and then respect others, this is the truth!
