Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 23 Jia Zhang's Sapo

  Yi Zhonghai was full of helplessness.

  But he still turned around and went to the workshop. After a while, he came out with a **** ten.

   "Count it, a total of one hundred yuan, enough for you to buy a radio."

  Yi Zhonghai handed the money to Jiang Pingan, enviously saying:

   "You kid has some skills, and you're almost done with the three rotations and one ring after another!"

   With his salary, it is easy to buy three turns and one ring.

   But since he accepted Jia Dongxu as an apprentice, he was dragged down, and hasn't been awarded an advanced individual for many years.

  The annual tickets in the factory are already low.

   If you are not rated as advanced, you will not be able to get a ticket for three turns and one ring, and it is useless to have money.

   Unless you take the risk to go to Pigeon Market and pay a high price for tickets.

   But it was speculative, and Yi Zhonghai didn't dare to take risks.

  So all these years, except for guarding a radio that he bought many years ago.

  I haven’t bought any new items at home.

   On the contrary, Jiang Ping'an, who has moved here and there all these years, is short of a sewing machine after three turns and one sound.

   It is the only one in the courtyard.

   "I just said that if you need something, you can find the uncle, it's sure to be reliable!" Jiang Ping'an praised, and then began to count the money.

  After borrowing the money, Jiang Ping'an went back to the office and talked to Director Chen, and then went straight to the department store.

  I bought a radio for ninety-five yuan and a ticket, and put it in the space when I went to a hidden place.

   I'm not in a hurry to go back to the courtyard, I just came here to buy a radio today.

   What Jiang Ping'an really couldn't wait to buy were some poultry such as ducks, geese, quail, pigeons, and some aquatic products such as fish and shrimp.

   Poultry is hard to buy, Jiang Pingan just wants to try his luck everywhere, see if he can buy eggs and put them in the space to hatch.

  Fish and shrimp shouldn’t be hard to buy. Most people won’t buy fish until Chinese New Year. It’s not worth it.

  With that money, it is better to buy fatty meat.

  The live fish in the market are mostly salvaged from Longtan Lake, Taoranting, Beihai, Shichahai, Jishuitan, Zizhuyuan, Tongzi River and the Summer Palace.

   They are sold in the vegetable markets of Dongdan and Xidan, the retail establishments of aquatic product companies and public-private joint ventures in Chaonei Street and Ganjiakou respectively.

  A few days before the Chinese New Year, hairtail fish, sea fish, crab, shrimp, kelp, etc. from other places are also sold.

   In the next few hours, Jiang Ping'an rode his bicycle around the various markets.

  First, I bought ten catties of sweet potatoes and ten catties of potatoes and planted them in the space.

   These two things are easy to buy, so he didn't have a reserve before, and now he just makes up for it.

   At the same time, I was lucky enough to buy a pack of beet seeds and plant them in the space. I will not be short of sugar in the future.

   Chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry did not meet Jiang Pingan's expectations.

   It was all kinds of eggs. He traveled to several places, and finally got together four kinds of ducks, geese, quails, and pigeons.

  I bought five or six eggs of each kind, and put them all in the space to hatch, but I don’t know if they can hatch successfully.

  Fish is easy to buy, such as grass carp, carp, crucian carp, white striped carp, silver carp, bighead carp, and perch.

  I bought a few of each of these seven kinds of fish.

  No other aquatic products.

  Jiang Ping'an no longer had extravagant hopes, and was lucky to be able to buy these things.

  …

  South Luogu Lane, at the gate of the courtyard.

  Jiang Ping'an got off his bicycle and was just about to enter the courtyard with the help of the bicycle.

  He ran into Xu Damao who was pushing his bicycle and was about to go out.

   "Xu Damao, are you going to the countryside to show a movie?" Jiang Ping'an asked curiously.

   Xu Damao, with a gloomy face, came back to his senses, nodded dejectedly and said: "Yes, I really don't want to go!"

   "It's a cold day, and the roads are difficult to walk. The key is that these years, the countryside can't even get three melons and two dates. It's so boring."

  Paused, he glanced at Jiang Ping'an, and discussed, "Why don't you learn how to play movies with me?"

   "Anyway, you often go to the countryside. If there is a screening task in the country, you can show it for me by the way, how about it?"

  Jiang Ping'an rolled his eyes, and replied: "It's not good, can you share your salary with me?"

   "That won't work, the wages are distributed to you, what should I eat?" Xu Damao shook his head and refused.

  Jiang Ping'an despised: "Then do you think I look like a fool? Why should I do such a thankless thing?"

   "By the way, you didn't steal the two bottles of Moutai that I kept in your house last time, did you?"

  Xu Damao was furious and shouted: "What do you mean by the Moutai you kept?"

   "That's what Lou Xiao'e brought back from her mother's house. What's wrong with me taking a few sips?"

  Jiang Pingan slowly put the car aside, stared and asked, "So you drank secretly?"

   "No drink! Lou Xiao'e won't let me!" Seeing that Jiang Ping'an raised his fist and was about to beat him up, Xu Damao quickly replied.

  Speaking of this, Xu Damao felt angry, his wife was too superficial.

  I just like to listen to Jiang Ping'an's elder sister's short stories, so I stick to Jiang Ping'an's food and drink.

  Even if Jiang Ping'an is not around, keep it for him. I have never seen such an outrageous woman!

  Xu Damao felt aggrieved and wanted to beat Jiang Pingan.

  But they couldn't beat them again, so they could only exchange a few words, and then they drove away in despair before Jiang Ping'an could do anything.

   "Virtue, that's my Moutai!" Jiang Ping'an muttered.

  Just about to enter the courtyard, a figure came out from the corner of the toilet, it was Qin Huairu.

   "Sister Qin!" Jiang Ping'an's face brightened, and he greeted her generously.

  Qin Huairu blushed, hummed, her foot injury was not healed, stepped forward step by step, and whispered:

   "Are you back? I'll find you when I'm free."

   After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Ping'an to reply, he twisted his waist and walked into the courtyard.

   "Tsk tsk, what a glutton!" Jiang Ping'an narrowed his eyes, tsk tsk twice, and carried the car into the front yard.

  As soon as he put the bicycle at the door of his house, the third mom on the opposite side came over.

   "Are you back safely? I have something to tell you."

   "The rain came back the day before yesterday, and I washed all the clothes for you, and hung them in the middle yard."

   "She asked me to help me collect it. Now that you are back, I won't help."

  Jiang Pingan nodded and replied: "Okay, I understand, thank you, Third Mom, by the way, the clothes should not be dry yet, right?"

   "It's definitely not done, you can collect it in a few days." The third mother smiled.

  Jiang Ping'an said with a smile: "Then I'll go and see first, how far it has gone."

  When he came to the middle courtyard, Jiang Ping'an saw his clothes hanging out under the eaves of He Yuzhu's house.

  He Yushui's own clothes are also hanging together.

  Passing by Jia's house, Mrs. Jia Zhang was sitting at the door making cloth shoes.

  Jiang Ping'an looked down at the two shoes on his feet.

  It is covered with mud, and the dirty nose is not a nose, and the eyes are not eyes.

  Hesitating for a while, he walked over and said to Jia Zhang:

   "Aunt Zhang, look at the shoes you gave me. After only wearing them for a few days, they are no longer in shape. Make me a pair!"

  Seeing Jiang Ping'an approaching, Mrs. Jia Zhang was muttering in her heart, but when she heard what he said, she suddenly became angry.

  She cursed loudly: "You Jiang Ping'an, you are going to die, you are acting good when you get cheap."

   "I gave you a pair of shoes for nothing, but you don't appreciate it, and you pick and choose. Bullying is not like that!"

  Jiang Ping'an frowned, waved his hand and said, "Speak well if you have something to say, don't just curse at people!"

   "What's wrong with scolding you? You are allowed to bully others, but I am not allowed to scold you?"

  Ms. Jia Zhang got up abruptly, yelled with her neck stuck, her face flushed with anger.

  Jiang Pingan did not argue with her, raised his eyebrows and said:

   "I don't care, the shoes you gave me are just not easy to wear, and they will be like this in a few days!"

   "If you don't buy me a new pair, I'll report Jia Dongxu for gambling, messing with men and women, and making him lose his job."

  When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard the words, she immediately sat down on the ground and wailed:

   "It's unreasonable! You are too bullying. Is it easy for me to make a pair of shoes?"

   "It's you who want to wear cloth shoes to go to the countryside, let alone a pair, even a car can't stand your spoils!"

   "Old Jia, come quickly, take this **** away from me, I'm about to die of anger!"
