Chapter 20: Town Tour

After leaving school, I found the guesthouse in the town based on my memory.

Walk into the guesthouse and give the letter of introduction to the girl at the front desk.

After checking that there were no problems, he gave Jun Qingqing a key.

I told her: "The room is the second one on the left on the second floor. There is hot water in the thermos in the room. If you need it after use, you can go to the hot water room to get it yourself. If you need to heat up a meal, there is a stove for rent in the kitchen." After that, I went back to my own business. He didn't even spare me a glance.

Still thanking the girl at the front desk, Jun Qingqing took the key and walked towards the stairs.

When I entered the room, I saw two single beds.

The head of the bed is against the right wall.

A wooden table was against the other wall.

In addition, on the floor next to the table, there are two thermoses. That's all there is in the room.

After a short rest, I prepared to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find out about the prices.

The supply and marketing cooperative is also a two-story building. After entering, the first thing you see is a big red slogan: Serve the People.

It is said that to be able to work in a supply and marketing cooperative at that time, one needs to have great connections.

As for the salesperson's attitude, it wouldn't lead to a fight, but the saying that the attitude towards customers depends on one's mood is quite appropriate.

After walking around twice, I had a basic understanding of the approximate prices. By the way, let’s see if there is any Moutai.

"Sister, how much is that bottle of wine?"

"This one costs seven dollars a bottle."

"Can I buy a few more bottles?"

"There is a purchase limit. Each person can only buy two bottles at a time."

"Then please help me get two bottles."

Issue the invoice, pay the money, and get the wine, all done in one smooth move.

At this moment, Jun Qingqing used her pocket as a cover and took out a tube of lipstick from the space. It was the kind that was sold relatively cheaply in the cosmetics section of the supermarket when she was collecting supplies.

But in this era, it is definitely synonymous with fashion. ”

Quietly put the lipstick into the hand of the saleswoman.

"Sister, this is just a little gift from you. Please accept it first. I want to ask you something."

When the salesperson saw what was in his hand, he was immediately shocked. What kind of family is this? They would give away such a good lipstick as a gift.

Even though he was shocked, his hands did not hesitate at all. Quickly put the lipstick in your pocket. It seemed as if he was afraid that Jun Qingqing would go back on her word.

Jun Qingqing was also helpless at this moment: I really won't regret it. I have plenty of this. Why……

"Girl, tell me, what do you want to know?"

"Um, sister, do you know where the black market is?"

"You really asked the right person."

As he spoke, he told Jun Qingqing everything he knew, including the location of the black market, the start time, the code for knocking on the door, and so on.

Well, isn’t this the real value of this lipstick?

After carrying the Moutai liquor out of the supply and marketing cooperative, I looked for an empty alley as usual. Then put the wine into the space.

It was almost noon, so we headed to the state-owned restaurant.

At this time, there weren't a lot of people eating, just people coming in one after another. Jun Qingqing looked at today's dishes written on the small blackboard with chalk.

Finally, I ordered a beef stew with potatoes and a bowl of rice. After paying the money and ticket, find an empty seat and wait for the food to be ready. The waiter will call you to pick up the food.

After eating it, I found it quite good. Although not as exquisite as the tastes of later generations, it was still very good in this era when food was extremely precious. Before I knew it, the food was gone. After all, at this time, when you go to a restaurant to eat, you either eat everything or bring your own lunch box to take away the leftovers.

When I came in, I didn’t consider the issue of whether I could finish eating, so I put the cloth bag into the space after leaving school. It is absolutely impossible to get a lunch box.

Well, next time if there’s no one else with me, I’ll just go to the space to eat secretly.

At the same time, I silently listed the benefits of eating in Space to myself:

Take as much as you can eat, it is more convenient to control the amount

The taste is better, the flavor is better, and the flavor is more evenly absorbed.

The most important thing is that no one will know even if you can’t finish it.

The state-owned hotel experience trip has come to an end. It’s like a must-visit place to check in in the future. After you have experienced it, you will no longer be obsessed with it.

As for the black market, get up early tomorrow to check out the prices. I'll go to the scrap yard later to see if there's any chance of finding a bargain.

Following my memory, I walked around for almost an hour before arriving at a dilapidated yard. The old man at the door was sitting on a bamboo rocking chair, and there was an iron scale on the ground.

"Little girl, there's nothing to see here. Go somewhere else to play."

"Grandpa, can I go in and find some newspapers? My parents asked me to go out and buy some newspapers for the walls. Not much, just enough for two rooms. I also want to see if there are any picture books and buy some for my brother."

"Okay, go in. Newspapers are one cent per pound, and books are two cents per pound. Pick them out and weigh them." After saying that, he closed his eyes and dozed off in the rocking chair.

Jun Qingqing still thanked the old man who had closed his eyes and dozed off, then walked inside.

The scrap yard has much more space for storing things than you might imagine. The ground was littered with old items, books, newspapers, piled-up furniture, etc.

Jun Qingqing also began to search slowly.

A few scrolls were not opened and were directly put into the space. I will see what they are when I get back.

There were a lot of original books under a pile of waste newspapers. I didn't have time to see what they were, so I put them away first.

Then I saw some rosewood carvings that had not been destroyed and a few jewelry boxes.

I picked up a broken table leg. I just picked up something on the ground and found that there seemed to be something inside the leg of the table. Hurry up and put it into space.

When he looked down, he found that he had discovered a unique copy: "Luo Xuan Bian Gu Jian Pu".

I remember the description of this "Luo Xuan Bian Gu Jian Pu" is: deleting poems and creating paintings to embellish the emotions; imitating the simple details based on the scenes, and the carving is extremely skillful. The painting fully captures the shapes of the moon, dew, wind and clouds, and the names of birds, insects and flowers are conveyed in the pages. This collection of paper is "a wonder in the imperial collection and a treasure in the study."

After putting it away, he quickly took a stack of newspapers and a few picture books. I quickly went to the old man to weigh the weight and pay. That’s eight cents in total.

After paying the money, I found a secluded corner and put the things into the space. Walk quickly towards the guesthouse. I'll go back and see what else I found today.
