Chapter 32 Clearance(1/2)
When Tang Lei took the tram back to Tongzi Building, it was already six o'clock in the evening.
"Xiao Tang, hurry up and take the bowl down to eat, and call Xiao Zhong by the way." Liu Xiufen said with a smile when she saw Tang Lei coming back.
"Sister Liu, which room does Xiao Zhong live in?" Tang Lei asked.
"The fourth room on your left hand." Liu Xiufen thought for a while and said.
"Okay! Sister Liu."
Tang Lei smiled and made an OK gesture to Liu Xiufen, then turned around and went upstairs to get the lunch box.
"A little bastard!" Liu Xiufen looked at Tang Lei's English gesture and cursed in a low voice.
After Tang Lei went upstairs and returned to the room, he took out his white lunch box and held it in his hand. After taking it on the door, he followed Liu Xiufen's instructions and knocked on Zhong Liqing's door.
After three knocks on the door, Zhong Liqing's door was opened.
"It's Brother Tang, is there anything wrong?" Zhong Liqing asked with a smile at Tang Lei at the door.
"Sister Liu asked me to call you, it's time to have a meal! It's 6:15!" Tang Lei smiled and said, then hugged the lunch box, tapped the watch on his left with the index finger of his right hand, indicating that it was time for Zhong Liqing!
"Oh! I forgot the time! I'll go down right away!" Zhong Liqing said with an enlightened expression.
"Then I'll go down first!" Tang Lei said with a smile, and without waiting for Zhong Liqing to answer, he quickly walked downstairs.
"Sister Liu, Brother Chen, you can eat first, don't wait for me." Tang Lei came to Liu Xiufen's house and said with a smile.
"It's okay!" Chen Zhen replied with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Liqing appeared behind Tang Lei with an English textbook in her arms.
"Let's have dinner when you're here! You two will get breakfast next time, and you won't wait for you again!"
"Especially Xiaoqing, you! You have to ask you to come down for dinner at home!" Liu Xiufen said with a frown.
"Sister Xiufen, I have forgotten the time when I memorized the English book. I will definitely not be able to do it next time!" Zhong Liqing explained in a low voice.
"Eat for dinner!" Chen Zhen said with a smile.
...
"Xiaoqing, concentrate on eating when eating and don't do anything else!" Liu Xiufen looked at Zhong Liqing's English book and said in anger.
"oh……"
Zhong Liqing, who was affected by the fish in the pond, put down her English textbooks for no reason and began to concentrate on her meals.
"Hahaha..." Tang Lei and Chen Zhen laughed at the same time.
Zhong Liqing looked up at Tang Lei and Chen Zhen for no reason, wondering why they suddenly laughed.
"No matter how much you two laugh, let me get out of here!" Liu Xiufen used chopsticks to slapped the food in the bowl and cursed loudly.
"Xiaoqing has nothing to do with you! Keep eating!" Liu Xiufen said as she looked at Zhong Liqing's panic.
"Sister Liu, I apologize to you!" Tang Lei smiled back and said seriously, but the smile on his face had not completely dissipated.
"Hmph, the apology of a talented man is really rare!" Liu Xiufen said sarcastically.
"Continue to eat, come to Xiaozhong to eat the food." Chen Zhen smiled and held the food for Zhong Liqing.
"Thank you, Brother Chen." Zhong Liqing thanked in a low voice.
"Xiaoqing, why are you always watching you hold an English book during this period?" Chen Zhen asked with a smile.
"After I graduated, I wanted to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so I started to learn English by myself during this period." Zhong Liqing swallowed the food in her mouth and replied.
"Then you can ask Xiao Tang to teach you! His English is like in an English tape! It must be better than yourself!" Chen Zhen said seriously.
After hearing Chen Zhen's words, Zhong Liqing turned to look at Tang Lei, and looked at Tang Lei with big eyes, as if she said again: Is it true?
"It's okay, it's not that exaggerating!" Tang Lei said vaguely while eating.
"Eat first!" Liu Xiufen used chopsticks to make the bowl and pestle sound!
...
After dinner, Tang Lei chatted with Chen Zhen as usual. After talking for half an hour, he went upstairs to go back to the room to sleep. Before Tang Lei could get upstairs, he heard someone calling him behind him.
"Brother Tang!" Zhong Liqing looked at Tang Lei's back and whispered.
Tang Lei heard someone calling him, and when he turned around, he saw that Zhong Liqing was lying on the edge of her door and shouting at him.
"Is there anything wrong with Sister Xiaoqing?" Tang Lei replied with a smile.
"Can you teach me oral English grammar?" Zhong Liqing asked shyly.
Tang Lei thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "Okay, will you be at home tomorrow afternoon?"
Zhong Liqing let go of the door and stood in the corridor with her hands wrapped around her back. She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's at home!"
"Okay, I'll go find you tomorrow afternoon!" Tang Lei said with a smile.
"Thank you, Brother Tang!" Zhong Liqing bent down and thanked.
"A trivial matter! I'm back to my room, see you tomorrow!" Tang Lei said with a smile and waved his hand at Zhong Liqing.
"Yeah~ See you tomorrow!" Zhong Liqing also smiled and waved her hand at Tang Lei.
After Tang Lei returned to the room, he lay on the bed and shook his head and smiled as he thought about what happened just now. It felt quite good to have a request from the beautiful neighbor!
Want to the perfect female neighbor to ask her to teach her English, Tang Lei recalled the incident in the antique street this afternoon. Tang Lei sighed and whispered: "The money is still not enough, and you have to continue making money!"
Tang Lei now has about 5,000 yuan in his hand, of which 2,500 yuan is the day after tomorrow. He has to go to the bank to exchange it for the third edition of the 2 yuan road worker banknote and take it back.
The remaining 2,500 yuan is still necessary to reserve about 1,000 yuan to buy Gengshen Monkey Tickets, and in the end, there is only 1,500 yuan left.
The price of the things he saw in the Antique Street this afternoon was estimated to be around four to five thousand yuan, and the gap was 3,500 yuan!
Thinking of this, Tang Lei stood up and asked the Fire No. to open the "White Hole" storage space, took out the laptop from it, and inquired about the catalog of items he had brought before.
"The watch can be sold for about 2,000 yuan."
"Sewing machines, electric fans, and storing machines together can be sold for 78,000 yuan!"
"The price you saw in the morning of the calculator should be 100 yuan per person. This is a foreign brand, and it can be sold at a higher price. If you count from 120 to 150, 100 calculators will be about 15,000!"
"There are four bicycles left, so count as 2,000!"
"Razors and lighters are counted as 1,000 yuan."
"Some miscellaneous supplies should be sold for about 1,000 yuan with tickets. At present, the things in the storage space of the "White Hole" in the Tinder Number should be sold for a total of 26,700 yuan, and the money should be enough!"
"Now you have to sell these things quickly and exchange them for cash!" Tang Lei sat on the backrest chair and whispered at the form in the laptop on the desk.
...
January 9, 1980 at 2:30 am.
Tang Lei was woken up by Yiyi, got up and washed his face, then went downstairs to Jiangjiao Alley with Liu Xiufen.
"Have you brought enough money today?" Liu Xiufen looked at Tang Lei walking beside him, and asked in a low voice.
"Well, I went to the bank to withdraw money yesterday!" Tang Lei replied with a smile.
"When I bought it, I looked carefully! Something that costs more than 1,000 yuan is worth two or three years' salary!" Liu Xiufen preached.
"Sister Liu, I know." Tang Lei replied in a low voice.
After Tang Lei and Liu Xiufen came to Jiangjiao Alley, Liu Xiufen found a place to continue setting up a stall. Tang Lei sat next to her for a while. After Jiangjiao Alley became lively, he said hello to Liu Xiufen and then started strolling around the stalls.
...
Tang Lei held a flashlight in his hand and squatted in front of a stall where he purchased supplies with tickets. He shone the wooden sign on the stall with a flashlight and asked in a low voice: "Boss, how much do you charge for a Shanghai brand watch ticket?"
"62. Isn't it written on the sign?" the stall owner whispered.
"I saw that people sell 80,85." Tang Lei replied in a low voice.
"Brother, this is the price!" the stall owner whispered.
"75 per ticket, I will sell you all the tickets in my hand!" Tang Lei said in a low voice.
"How many pictures do you have?" the stall owner asked in a low voice.
"I have tickets for three transfers and one sound! It depends on what price the boss pays." Tang Lei replied in a low voice.
"The radio is 10 yuan, the bicycle is 30 yuan, the watch is 68 yuan, the sewing machine is 70 yuan, the TV is 80 yuan, and the recorder is 80 yuan. The price I quote now is already the highest price!" The boss said after quickly quoting the price.
"3 bicycle tickets, 2 radio tickets, 4 watch tickets, 6 sewing tickets, two recorders, and one TV set, how much do you calculate the money?" Tang Lei said in a low voice.
"A total of 1042!" The boss quickly reported the numbers.
"If you have an integer of 1100, you will be sold to you!" Tang Lei bargained.
"Trade!" the stall owner hesitated for a while and said.
...
...
"Boss, are you closing your watch?" Tang Lei squatted in front of another stall and asked quietly.
"Come on, what brand is it?" the stall owner asked in a low voice.
