Chapter 8: First Arrival at Pigeon Market

 "Then what is Brother Jiecheng's plan?" Seeing Yan Jiecheng's coy look, Jiang Che was worried for him.

"Well, since my parents have said so, they will also have retirement wages in the future anyway, and the pension money will not be short of my 3 and 5 yuan. Let's stop. After we get married, we will not go there to eat, so we don't have to watch it.

It’s annoying.” Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and said with determination.

"Getting married! It's the biggest event in my life. I don't need a stool or a stool. To alleviate the famine, I simply bought everything I could use at once." After saying that, Yan Jiecheng looked at him with bright eyes.

Xiang Jiangche.

"Brother Xie Cheng, you don't want me to lend you a loan, do you?"

"There's no one else in the room, so I can't tell the whole world about the scandal at home." Yan Jiecheng said with a smile.

"Hey, you said I just went to the toilet tonight, why did it cause such a big deal?" Jiang Che had no idea.

"Then you have to add up how much the furniture you want to buy will cost, and then see how much I have. You can't just scratch your eyebrows and beard, so why don't you mess around." As he spoke, Jiang Che stood up and measured Yan Jiecheng's house using his feet as a ruler.

.

Although Yan Jiecheng's house is an upside-down house, the area is not small, measuring seventeen or eight square meters.

"Brother Jie Cheng, since you said we can do it all at once, let's talk about your house problem first." Jiang Che lit a cigarette and said slowly.

"Shuanzi, this is an inverted house, how can I put it in place?" Yan Jiecheng looked helpless when he mentioned the house.

"You need to open a window on the back wall of your house. It shouldn't be too big. At least the light will be much stronger and it will help air circulation."

"The window frame is also easy to solve. You can find it at the Beixinqiao flea market. Then you can put glass on it. You can repaint the wall with white plaster. The one that costs more than one yuan is enough. You can just buy it and paint it yourself.

." Jiang Che pointed at the back wall and said.

"The room is about 17 or 18 square meters. It can be divided into two rooms with curtains. The side near the door can be used as the main room, and the other side can be used as the living room for you and your sister-in-law. It is also easy to talk to relatives and friends at home."

"Put up a small shed against the west wall in front of your house and use it as a kitchen. People from the West Cross Courtyard don't pass by here anyway. This way, you won't make the house dirty if you cook separately.

It’s also comfortable.”

"If it weren't for Shuanzi, you would be smart. If it weren't for you, my head would still be a mess." Yan Jiecheng nodded repeatedly after listening to Jiang Che's words.

"Also, in order to pursue 32 legs, we can't have to stuff the house so full that there is no place to stay."

After Jiang Che and Yan Jiecheng discussed, they added a table, a mechanical clock, the Eight Immortals table with 4 long stools, a coat rack and cabinets in the main room, a large wardrobe was added in the bedroom, and the writing desk was turned into a dressing room.

Taiwan.

Seeing that there weren't many things to buy, Lin Lin finally decided that it would be a big deal if he had to rely entirely on buying finished products from the store. Yan Jiecheng didn't eat or drink for two years before he could do it.

After Jiang Che's rough calculation, Yan Jiecheng was immediately dumbfounded.

It really echoes what Yan Fugui said: If you don’t have enough to eat, you will be poor if you don’t drink enough. If you don’t, you will suffer from poverty.

I thought that two or three hundred would be enough, so I would grit my teeth and struggle with Yu Li for a year at most. Even after I calculated it, it was not enough to look over it.

Yan Jiecheng thought about what Hao Qiyuntian said just now and sat up.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's slap in the face, Jiang Che couldn't help but be happy.

"No, Shuanzi. I'm so worried, and you still laugh at me."

"Brother Xie Cheng, we can't go too far. We can't afford the finished product, so we can't just buy the materials and ask a carpenter to make it."

"Yes, we can still hire a master."

"No, it's still too expensive. Last year, it cost 3 yuan, 75 cents a day for the Zhang family in the West Courtyard to have their master and apprentice make furniture. After all, it's only 1/5 to 1/6 cheaper than buying it." Yan Jiecheng added.

Discouraged.

"I just told you not to get into trouble, why did you get into it again?"

"A carpenter is so expensive because he only needs to work with materials. We can't afford to hire one from the city, so we'll hire one from the countryside!" Looking at Yan Jiecheng's helpless look, Jiang Che felt that it was not worth it for Yu Li.

"I have only been to Zuojiazhuang in the countryside, and there are no good carpenters there."

"Hey, Mani! Brother."

"I don't have any relatives in the countryside. I have a rest on Sunday. Let's go to Shahe Village, my hometown, to ask my uncle for help and find out how much money it will cost and how much material will be used."

"It's done, let's talk about this for now."

"Just clean up the house in the next few days. It's too late and won't delay your work tomorrow. I'll go back to the house first." After saying that, he left without waiting for Yan Jiecheng's reply.

Back in the house, Jiang Che counted the remaining money at home, 61 yuan and 36 cents. Not only did the money in future generations go unspent, but also in this era. There was not much money for food and drink.

Relying on the warehouse to eat and drink without worries, Jiang Che, who originally thought of waiting for the wind to blow over before taking any action, had to change his original plan.

It seems that we are going to see old BJ’s pigeon market.

At around 3 o'clock in the morning, Jiang Che quietly slipped out of the compound and ran to Pigeon City based on the route he remembered.

In an alley not far from Pigeon City, Jiang Che entered the logistics park. He changed into a navy blue labor uniform and took out the supplies he had prepared in advance.

Wearing a mask and paying 2 cents for the ticket, Jiang Che casually found a place and started his first "stall practice".

"Little brother, how do you sell this beef?" the middle-aged man who also covered his face asked a little cautiously.

Not long after, a lot of people gathered in front of Jiang Che's stall. In an era when supplies are in short supply, if someone could have beef, mutton, toffee, white noodles, and vegetable oil at Jiang Che's stall, there would be no shortage of customers.

"If you have a ticket, it's 1 yuan per catty, if you don't have a ticket, it's 1 yuan and 5." Jiang Che answered casually.

"How many kilograms do you have? Can you make it cheaper? I want them all." It seems that this old man is having a banquet at home.

"Why are you like this? It's been several days since I saw beef and mutton. Well, you asked for them all as soon as you opened your mouth. That's right."

"That's right, my family's ration is two kilograms for seven people. No matter what, you can't have it all for yourself."

Before Jiang Che could reply, the customers next to him were reluctant.

"Brother, please don't bargain. My beef and mutton weigh two kilograms each. Five pieces each is only 20 kilograms in total." Jiang Che didn't raise his eyebrows when meeting such a customer who wanted to bargain.

"Here, little brother, here are 2 yuan and a meat ticket, please keep it." Just when the middle-aged man was thinking, a sister-in-law next to him couldn't wait to hand over the money and ticket, and picked up a piece of beef.

So I went to the entrance and weighed myself using the fair scale provided by the steward.

"Hey, this piece is mine. I'll give you 3 yuan."

"Don't grab it, I got it first."

"..."

After all the fuss, the beef and mutton were all gone, and a few bottles of vegetable oil were also sold.

"Ouch, what can I do?"

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have bargained."

The middle-aged man just now started to worry when he saw that the beef and mutton on the stall had been snatched away in an instant.

"If you don't make the first move when you encounter something good and the price is not high, someone will naturally do it." The young man who grabbed the last piece of mutton threw the mutton away proudly.

"Isn't this my first time coming to Pigeon Market? How do I know the prices and rules here?"

"I really can't explain it now." The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed, saying dejected words. Seeing that he was running out of meat, he moved his feet and thought about trying his luck ahead.

"Brother, how do you sell this white flour?"

"30 cents if you have a ticket, 50 cents if you don't have a ticket."

"Why is your noodles so expensive? It costs 3 cents for a ticket. Fuqiang fans only cost 18 cents and 5 cents." The visitor shook his head.

"Look at what kind of noodles I have. Can Fuqiang noodles be as white as mine? Can it be as strong as mine?!"

"To tell you the truth, my flour is imported from abroad just for the above." Jiang Che whispered, pretending to be mysterious and pointed at it.

"Let me tell you the truth. This is the first time I have sold it at the cost price because I was afraid that people would not know the product. When everyone knows that this flour is good, the price will have to double."

Although Jiang Che spoke very quietly, the surrounding customers could hear it clearly. The middle-aged man also stopped moving.
