Chapter 5: The Abandoned Capitalist Lady in the 1950s
Sure enough, just after I took a few steps with the buns, I heard a commotion behind me.
Looking back, I saw that the boss had come out to change the price, and now each bun cost 900,000 yuan.
This money is really worthless. The prices of things change every now and then.
It is best to spend the money immediately after you get it, otherwise you may not be able to buy even half a pound of corn flour with a million tomorrow.
Although this statement is exaggerated, this is the current situation of the gold yuan.
Ning Ning is now struggling with whether or not to stock up on supplies. Seeing how enthusiastically everyone is rushing to buy goods, she's afraid there won't be much left on the market.
Things will not depreciate, but money will. If you have money, you will exchange it for things. It doesn’t matter whether the money is useful or not. What matters is that you hold the things in your hands.
Only by converting the depreciating money into tangible items as quickly as possible and holding them tightly in your hands can they avoid becoming worthless overnight.
Sitting on the swaying bus, Ning Ning was originally staring out the window in a daze, admiring the scenery of this era.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head, and I realized that I had been badly cheated by the recycling shop owner!
Gold Yuan coupons are worthless now, but there are still silver dollars in this world!
But if you think about it carefully, the silver dollar doesn't seem to be very stable now, and is only slightly stronger than the gold yuan.
No matter what, it is impossible to stock up on supplies in Haishi. Not only is the currency unstable, but the key is that there is nothing to buy in the market at all!
Fortunately, she was smart enough to take all the rice, flour, grain and oil in the mansion with her before she went out.
If she eats alone and eats sparingly, she estimates that it can last her at least half a year.
If I see food again later, I can buy some. I should be able to survive until the currency stabilizes.
After getting off the bus, Ning Ning walked and ran along the mountain road until she came to the foot of a cliff.
After finding the place to put the peace locket and putting it in, I heard a "creaking" sound of friction, and a door opened on the cliff behind the big rock.
Ning Ning didn't rush in, not because she was afraid of any hidden weapons or mechanisms inside, but because she thought the door hadn't been opened for a long time and was afraid that there was no air inside and she would suffocate to death inside.
I took out a bottle of happy water in the apartment, sat next to it to rest, and waited for the air to clear inside.
After waiting for more than half an hour, she dug out a small rechargeable flashlight from her apartment, which she bought when she was in school!
Holding the treasure, Ning Ning walked into the cave.
The cave passage didn't feel damp at all. After walking about 20 to 30 meters, the view suddenly opened up.
This is a cave of about 50 square meters, which is a treasure trove of the Qi family.
There is another treasure trove at the Qi family's ancestral tomb. Ning Ning thought about leaving that one alone for now.
After packing up all the things here today, there is basically no space left for anything else in her small apartment. It would be better to leave the things at the ancestral grave there for now.
A large secret room was built under the big tree next to the ancestral tomb, and the entrance was not far from the tree.
It's safer to leave things there.
Look in here, there are five boxes of gold bars, ten boxes of jewelry and jade, and some antiques and calligraphy and paintings. These things together almost take up half of the cave.
The main reason is that those antique bottles and jars take up too much space!
Some boxes only contain one bottle.
The remaining half box was filled with medicinal herbs, salt and sugar.
Salt and sugar were sealed in large clay pots with a piece of paper labeled "Salt" or "Sugar" on the outside. There were five pots of each, and if one person used them, they would probably never finish them in a lifetime!
I was worried that it would be difficult to stock up on supplies, but I didn't expect to find these two treasures here.
She opened the remaining boxes, which were filled with medicinal herbs. Ning Ning didn't even examine them carefully, as she quickly put them all back into the small apartment.
All of a sudden, the entire second bedroom, the balconies of several rooms, and most of the living room were packed. But Ning Ning felt so happy in her heart, this was a full sense of accomplishment!
Oh, oh, it's all oh. Which woman dares to say that she doesn't like gold, silver and jewelry? Ning Ning is just a vulgar person who likes these yellow and white things. Use these things to corrupt me as much as you want!
I have some money on me now, but Haishi can’t stock up on supplies right now, so I can’t stay here for long!
She thought about it and decided to go straight to Beijing!
Beijing must have been liberated by now. Besides, it was the founding ceremony. If I had the chance to record it or take a few photos, it would be so beautiful!
Although the great men in this world may be different from those in the original world, the earth-shaking things they have done and the love that the people have for them are exactly the same!
When she returned to the city, she spent all the remaining gold yuan coupons on a lot of steamed buns and sesame cakes, which she packed into her small apartment, where time seemed to stand still.
Then he rushed to the train station, checked the train schedule, sneaked out of the station, and walked north along the railway tracks.
She didn't want anyone to remember that she had taken this train, so she planned to hitchhike on the train, which would make it less likely to leave any clues!
To get from Hai City to Jing City, one had to pass through Jinling. Ning Ning searched for a long time but couldn't find any direct trains to Jing City at night, and it would be too conspicuous to try to board a train during the day.
There was no other way, so she had to change buses. Anyway, she thought, as long as the direction was correct, she would be able to reach her destination.
After figuring out the departure time for that place, he found a suitable place, and quickly went into the small courtyard. He happily ate two buns, drank some water, and then sat on the cushion to start practicing.
It would definitely be more comfortable to lie down and take a nap in the small apartment, but the flow of time there is stopped, and you will have no concept of time if you go there to rest!
This small courtyard is more suitable at this moment. At least the time is synchronized with the outside!
I estimated that the time was about right, so I came out of the space and waited by the roadside.
I don’t even have a watch, so I can only estimate the approximate time. I’d rather come out a little earlier than be late!
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, a train came clanging from the distance.
This place happened to be a bend, so Ning Ning hid herself behind the slope and stared at the locomotive.
When the front of the train was about to pass the bend, she stood up quickly and rushed towards the train like a wild horse.
Then he ran quickly after the train, adjusted his speed, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and jumped onto the last car of the train in one go.
After getting on, he was not in a hurry to enter the carriage, but went into the courtyard first. He waited for a minute and came out. He was still on the train!
I went back into the small apartment and stayed there for a minute, then came out and was still on the train.
This made her very happy, because it proved that space was running along with the train!
Now that’s great, I don’t have to go into the carriage to deal with people. I just need to stay in the space and wait until I reach Jinling, and then find a train heading north.
What are you waiting for? Ning Ning went straight back to the courtyard to continue practicing.
Even with such good conditions, it took nearly a month to reach Beijing.
Sometimes I got on the wrong bus, and sometimes I was so absorbed in my practice that I missed my stop.
Apart from having to keep looking for the route, she didn't suffer much along the way, because she spent most of her time freely and comfortably in the space!
Prices across the country are quite chaotic right now, but whenever I come across supplies like grain, meat, and eggs, I still buy a lot.
Some simply exchanged them for curtains, tablecloths and clothes collected from the Haishi mansion.
All kinds of supplies were in short supply. Even though these clothes had been worn by others, they were at least 80% new and made of good materials, so many people wanted to exchange them.
When they were almost at the Beijing Railway Station, Ning Ning jumped off the train quickly. She didn't want anyone to know how she got there, lest she get into trouble!
I found a deserted place in the small apartment, fiddled with it for a while, and put on some old lady makeup for myself.
Although she is a little short, she looks okay overall. She looks like an old lady who has not developed well!
Then she wandered to the teahouse, wondering if she could find a real estate agent there. At that time, all the agents were soliciting work in the teahouse.
Luckily, she actually found it!
After following the agent around, looking at houses and meeting the owners, Ning Ning secretly used a technique similar to mental suggestion from the "Soul Refining Technique" to blur the information of the transaction parties, and the transaction went very smoothly.
Then they went to the Housing Management Office. Ning Ning hypnotized the staff and got the house deeds smoothly.
It is a small blue brick courtyard located in Houhai!
Only after she returned to the yard and closed the gate did she begin to smile secretly.
This yard is good. When the social status is divided in the future, it won’t hold her back, and she doesn’t have to worry about being asked to rent out the house.
Moreover, this is the house title issued by the government, so you don’t have to worry about the house changing hands in the future!
Ning Ning was so happy that her mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear. She was also a homeowner, and it was a small courtyard in Houhai. It was so cool!
