Chapter 409 The new atmosphere in the capital.

In the early morning, the warm sunshine rises from the sky, and a new day begins.

On the street near the moat in the outer city of the capital, the sky is still dark blue in the winter season, and people who get up in the morning go out quickly after the curfew ends.

They took their respective guys and set up stalls along the street. There were street lights all the way to Zhengyangmen Street along Mocheng Street.

These are the only streets with street lights in the outer city, and there are many vendors gathered to replenish energy for people who want to go in and out of the city.

From time to time, there would be Jin Yiwei riding motorcycles with headlights on, or soldiers from the Wucheng Army and Patrol Battalion riding bicycles with flashlights, patrolling among the lively crowds.

Although motorcycles and bicycles have been popularized for half a year, various mechanized tools are also introduced in newspapers from time to time, so that local people can quickly understand them when proceeding.

But there are many people who don't care about worldly affairs, and the capital cannot fully understand it just by reading newspapers. Just like street lamps and flashlights, people who have never seen the real thing will always be surprised.

On the streets of the capital, strangers would enter from time to time, and they would feel at a loss about the changes in the capital, and they would also yearn for it from the bottom of their hearts.

Faced with this bustling scene, the various new gadgets appearing on the street and the new clothes they were wearing all made these people who arrived in the capital for the first time feel like they were in a different world.

This is why even though he was able to get a house in the inner city, he still insisted on living in the outer city. The show-off effect of the inner city was not as good as that of the outer city.

"Baked potatoes! Baked potatoes!..."

"Thank you, Master!"

"It looks like something baked."

"Shi Xiang, the master is right. Food is also a greedy thing. We also bring fried rice with us. If we can't finish it today, tomorrow will not be as delicious as today."

"Thank you, Master! I will buy more for Master in the future, huh...Gulu."

Shi Fei's eyes almost flashed with stars, it was so good.

"Master, don't worry! It's for sure."

"Well, it's not appropriate to eat like this. Let's share it."

The two Taoist boys cheered and pushed towards the crowd, but they were very measured. They always paid attention to the old Taoist behind them, and took the initiative to protect the old Taoist in the crowd, so as not to crush the old Taoist.

"Master, please."

"What is it..."

The person being discussed on Zhengyangmen Street at this time was none other than Fang Yuegong, who had been in Beijing for a few months. At this time, he was driving his old Leshang, the speed limit was 20 yards. Because of the congestion in front, he became

The speed has been low for ten yards.

"Taoist Master, how much do you want to buy?"

At this time, the store owner's voice could be heard roaring inside.

"Okay, but as promised, this ham sausage contains meat, can you accept it? If you are a Qing monk, I'm afraid you can't accept it.

Those in the back, don’t crowd! Queue up! Don’t queue up and go to other places. It’s for me. If you don’t want to eat everything and don’t have money, just stand aside and go.

The sound of motorcycles attracted him to stare until he was lost in the crowd.

But the military coupons donated by the city people who came to watch us seem to have been taken away by the people who came last time, right Master?"

These ham sausages were already stained with black oil residue as soon as they were taken out of the pan. Before they could be fried and soaked, the ham sausages ended their journey in the oil pan as soon as they stretched out their knife.

Shi Fei, who was waiting for his master to feed him, looked into the distance and suddenly noticed a bicycle opening a path in the distance, followed by a leisurely old man Le.

Qing Yuanzi, who was corrected to queue up, lined up in the red isolation area unaccustomedly. Looking at the more than 20 people lining up in front of him, he had a strange feeling.

"The two little Taoist priests, that is a car that only high officials can ride in. It is said to be given by the emperor. Only the cabinet and several ministers can sit in it. Those who have the right to use this car are all important ministers of the country who are valued and trusted by His Majesty.

"

"Thank you, Master!"

They are all things I have never seen before, Qing Yuanzi said grandly, they are all items worth one and a half yuan. He can still afford it when he occasionally goes to the city and spends one or two hundred yuan or ten or twenty yuan.

"Master! If you eat a lot, you should eat longer ones. Senior brother and I are young, so we should eat short ones, as long as they have some flavor."

"Roasted sweet potato skin, roasted sweet potato skin! A cooperative merchant of Royal Merchant."

"Master, please!"

"Roasted gluten, roasted gluten! Royal Merchant Co., Ltd. cooperative merchant."

"Pindao, just buy one. One and a half yuan, right? This is fifty yuan."

"Yes, Master, that thing is exactly what the newspaper said, you can buy things.

“Master, what’s on the ground here is the cement floor mentioned in the newspaper, right?

And that motorcycle, its lights are really bright. It is said that when His Majesty rode it on his own expedition, he was escorted by cavalry."

"Master, it seems they sell very delicious food. It's not a greedy thing, so it should be edible, right?"

"Master, what's wrong?"

After thinking about it again, I realized that the man just now was wearing linen clothes and was not a rich man. In other words, he could rush!

"Alas, this thing is so novel that even my teacher has never seen it before.

"A royal gift?"

The reason why I am taking you down the mountain this time is to increase your knowledge, that’s all, I’ll just take you to eat once.”

The roads they walked on were smooth concrete roads, and the houses on both sides were repaired and neat, without any clutter. The vendors along the way were selling things, and it looked like a prosperous scene, completely different from the last time they came here.

Qing Yuanzi, who was moving forward in line and listening to his apprentice's words, stretched out his hand, and a fifty yuan military coupon appeared in his hand.

The strong fragrance came, which made Qing Yuanzi a little curious, but suddenly thought of the lack of money, he stopped and did not move forward.

"How much is it? Master, it seems that I received 180 yuan from you? Is it a loss?"

"Shi Fei, why are you still not satisfied?"

Wooden Stick wore a red intestine-like thing and ate as he walked. In the cold wind, he took a bite out. With the sound of hot breath and the look of enjoyment, the three masters and apprentices who had been walking for a long time stopped.

.

There was an oil pan placed on top of a charcoal cart. In the oil pan, a pile of red ham sausages was being fried in Bailian oil as black as ink.

The old man at the cashier looked at the three Taoist priests who were at a loss at the queue entrance and impatiently reminded them.

Before the two apprentices finished asking, they were pulled by Qing Yuanzi, who was already on top, to continue buying.

The closer we got to the boiler, the stronger the smell became. Even Qing Yuanzi couldn't bear it anymore. The taste was so intense that the smell of oil mixed with the spices of ham was too torturous.

"One stick is enough. Today is just for a taste."

All the military coupons have been spent.

"Wow! Master, you actually have fifty yuan. Shi Fei, do the math. How much ham can you buy with fifty yuan? How much money can you save? How much can we sell for?"

They are guarding the entrance, issuing tickets at the cash register, frying ham sausages, and threading ham sausages.

"Thank you, Master. Me too. I'll buy you more, eh! eh!"

The two naughty guys made Qing Yuanzi pull the old man's face in an instant, and his hand holding the bowl was a little shaky, but the smell of the seafood wonton finally calmed him down.

Alas, that’s it, master, let’s go.”

Although Shi Fei on the side was very greedy, he still nodded. He just stared at the longer lengths with great desire. If it weren't for the restraint, he would have swallowed it.

"Do you think Master is stupid? The newspaper said that one tael of silver is worth one hundred and eighty yuan, and two hundred yuan is worth one tael of silver.

"Fellow folks! Don't be too crowded! I have prepared more than ten boxes of ham sausage today, and I can send people to the inner city to buy it at any time. I guarantee that everyone can buy it. If you like to eat, you can go to the Royal Merchant to buy it."

"Ham sausage?"

Shi Fei, who was knocked on the forehead, looked at Qing Yuanzi, feeling a little aggrieved.

“It smells so good!”

It's just that Qing Yuanzi is still a little naive.

Do you accept it? We have fish, chicken, and dolphin flavors, all at the same price, and buy two and get one free. Which one do you want?

Why not buy two sticks? You can buy three flavors for three yuan. You can’t suffer a loss or be cheated.”

"You little devil, you bought all these fifty yuan, what else did I buy besides this ham sausage? Do you want to eat tomorrow?"

On Guangning Street, an old Taoist priest and his two Taoist boys were walking on the street in confusion. The two Taoist boys discussed the difference between electric lights and newspapers, and played tricks on each other's shadows.

That profiteer actually deceived me and said that these military coupons cannot be redeemed and are second-generation treasure notes issued by the imperial court. Bah, he thought he was a teacher who didn’t listen to newspaper propaganda or what lay people said?"

The cashier selling ham sausage was shocked. It was only one and a half dollars. What's the concept? Ten cents is equal to two dollars, and you can buy a pound and a half for two dollars.

"Welcome to cooperate and join. If you are interested, please discuss with Daming Royal Company in detail! People of insight are welcome to join!"

And their current location has also reached Zhengyangmen Street. It is almost half past seven and the sky is already bright.

"Then buy one piece of chicken and one piece of fish. The one I received is pork! That's at least three pieces in total, right?"

"If I had known, I would have asked the master to keep one. If this thing was used for cooking, it would definitely be delicious."

It is picked up with a clip and put on, handed to the customers waiting in line by another person, and then squeezed out at the end.

"Thank you, Master, for your love! Shi Fei knows that this is all because of Master's long experience in doting on Junior Brother and me."
