Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 46 We are all neighbors!
The old man finished his introduction proudly, and Zhang Kaiwu was confused...

I don't know what Japanese language he speaks.

If he slaps him, will the old man abandon Su?

…………

Zhang Kaiwu could roughly understand the eight things that a brothel doesn't allow, but he was a little confused about the eight words that the brothel didn't mention!
It sounds a bit like the catchphrase used by low-class people!
Wolozi language!

…………

What he is most interested in is "Little Mister"! ?

Zhang Kaiwu asked curiously: "Why do you call her Little Mister!?"

The old man smiled and said, "The prostitutes who only sell their art but not their bodies are called Xiao Xiansheng. She has just become famous and is not very old."

"Now you can only call her Little Mr., but when she becomes famous, you can call her Big Mr.!"

After the old man finished his proud introduction, he had almost finished his cigarette, with only a cigarette butt left in his hand.

The old man stared at Zhang Kaiwu's pocket.

The meaning of the eyes is very simple!
Another cigarette, bro! ?
Zhang Kaiwu smiled awkwardly and gave him another cigarette.

He also understood that this old man was an old brothel thug.

For my own hobbies.

He was so poor that he couldn't even afford to sit in the private room upstairs to pay a reward.

Even if I just stand here, I will cheer for the girls.

Shouting "Okay, okay, okay!" again and again.

I said these words to myself just now because of those two cigarettes.

For all these elegant things in the brothel, maybe this old man is still hungry! ?
In other words, the old man can't recite poetry, otherwise he must learn from Old Liu.

...............

The old man took out a small piece of jade and tapped the cigarette on it.

Wait until the tobacco becomes tighter and there is a small space on top.

The old man pinched it carefully and skillfully connected the previous cigarette butt.

So as not to waste a cigarette butt.

He said with a grin, "You're so generous even on your first visit, little brother, you're really generous!"

...............

Zhang Kaiwu was actually very regretful, and he asked the young master one last question.

Her name is Little Mister! ?

Then what is my name?

Today, all the shop owners are calling themselves "Mr.", what does this mean?!

Zhang Kaiwu didn't understand opera, he didn't have the interest in it, and he didn't have the time to cultivate it.

It's already 1948, it won't be long.

We're about to disband here.

Everyone goes back to their own home and finds their own mother!
Those who want to get married will get married, and those who want to reform will be reformed.

There are too many people inside, and I’m afraid they will collapse the two-story building.

Afraid of dying unclearly.

The old man started to enthusiastically shout “good” again…

Zhang Kaiwu walked out silently and left the Eight Great Hutongs, feeling extremely disappointed.

My brothel dream...

wrong!

My brothel screen!

It was ruined just like that!
…………

After leaving the Bada Hutong.

Zhang Kaiwu unexpectedly found that he was back near the front gate and was not far from Xiangyi Zhuang.

He went around in circles to buy things, and ended up running back again after running for the entire afternoon.

No wonder Lin Xiaoniang was worried that he would be taken away by the people in the Bada Hutongs. It turns out that Zhima Hutong is also near the Bada Hutongs.

All these alleys are near Daqianmen.

We are all neighbors!
Just step out of the door and you’ll be there, no need to take a taxi?

This is too convenient!
Are you considering rushing to play for half a year?

Learn and cultivate traditional culture. Kunqu Opera is also a great drama!
...............

There is a small restaurant in front, and the aroma of meat buns wafts from it.

Zhang Kaiwu went in and took a look. It was just an ordinary small restaurant with two small tables inside.

There was no one cooking, only buns for sale, and there were no customers in the shop.

That big meat bun is as big as a fist.

Fist-sized meat buns, I guess five or six of them would be enough to fill me up! ?
The shopkeeper saw him and asked with a smile, "Sir, would you like to buy some buns? A big, authentic meat bun costs five copper coins. How many do you want?"

Thinking of Qin Huairu's greedy look, there were only a dozen copper coins left in the space.

Can I only buy two of these?
It's a little too little.

He spent half a day buying small things, but he still didn't understand the conversion between dollars and copper coins.

The value of this ocean.

Sometimes it was three hundred copper coins, sometimes it was more, and sometimes it seemed as if there were not even three hundred.

Then buy one for one dollar and let Qin Huairu and the others eat their fill.

Zhang Kaiwu asked with a smile: "How many big meat buns can you buy with one dollar?"

The shopkeeper said in surprise: "Sir! I'll give you seventy. Is that okay with you?"

One dollar is worth three hundred and fifty copper coins?
Damn it!

The prices are so messed up.

It really made him confused.

...............

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said, "Okay!"

He handed over a dollar and said, "I'll get a basket outside, you pick it up."

The shopkeeper checked the ocean and said with a smile, "I'll pick it up for you right away. I guarantee it's all big meat fillings. I'll give you plenty of fat meat. I will never fool you with beef or mutton."

Fatty pork is the most expensive now, and other meats have to take a back seat.

Fatty pork will still be popular for decades...

The so-called big meat buns and big meat dumplings are all referring to fatty pork.

Only fatty pork can be called good meat.

If anyone makes meat buns with beef or mutton, he will probably be beaten by the customers!
…………

Zhang Kaiwu went out for a while, then came back with a big basket in his hand.

He handed it to the shopkeeper with a smile.

The shopkeeper carefully put a layer of brown paper at the bottom of his basket, counted the quantity for him one by one, and soon prepared seventy large meat buns.

He also enthusiastically gave him a big meat bun so that he could taste it for free.

The shopkeeper probably thought that Zhang Kaiwu was doing some purchasing for the gang, and that this big meat bun was offering bribes.

Looking forward to him coming back to take care of business next time.

Zhang Kaiwu silently calculated the price of the buns, and the more he calculated, the more confused he became. How much is this dollar worth?
…………

forget it!
Every industry has its own estimate of how much an ocean is worth.

However, in the early days of the Republic of China, when one dollar was most valuable, it could buy 500 large meat buns.

Now you can only buy a large meat bun for 71 yuan. Has the value of the meat depreciated seven times?

This is not a gold dollar bill, this dollar is real gold and silver.

...............

Zhang Kaiwu went out carrying the basket, and by the time he left the house the basket had been put away.

He took the meat bun that the shopkeeper gave him and tasted it, and found that it contained more lean meat and less fat.

When you take a bite, no fat comes out.

However, the shopkeeper chopped the lean meat very finely and mixed the fat and lean meat very evenly, and the taste was similar to that of fat meat.

The aroma of noodles and meat is intertwined, and the fat and lean meat are just the right balance.

The taste is also very chewy.

Not boring.

He had a good feeling, but he didn't know whether Qin Huairu would be disappointed.

After all, there is no lard when you bite it.
