Ma Teng slept until the afternoon.
Not to mention, how pleasant it is to sleep until you wake up naturally.
Looking at the watch, it's already past 12 o'clock.
I got up and searched around to find a slightly cleaner set of clothes. Then I looked at half a cupboard of clothes and sighed.
Yesterday when I was cleaning the house, I found a big basin in the corner. Ma Teng took it out, filled it with water, and threw all the unclean clothes into it.
In the end, a lot of clothes were taken out.
Let Ma Teng look at the black line at one end.
Clothes are not so easy to buy these days. It’s all about money. The key is cloth tickets.
Anyway, I wear it myself, so I can’t dislike it.
Following my memory, I found soap in the corner that I used occasionally. There was a paper bag inside. I opened it and looked at it. It turned out to be soap powder.
What a luxury.
Put the soap powder back up and cut a small piece of soap.
Looking for a kettle, I couldn't find it after searching around.
I slapped it on the forehead and forgot that I put it in the space for the experiment yesterday.
Entering the space directly, his consciousness locked on the kettle, and when he saw the meat next to it, he took it out too.
I tested the water temperature, because I didn’t have a thermometer, and found that the temperature didn’t change much, it was still so hot.
The meat is the same, it's still the same as yesterday.
It seems that space is stationary.
There is a head start.
Put the meat back into space again, use a small bowl, dissolve the soap in water, soak the clothes for a while, take off your shoes and step in a few times, pour out the water, sprinkle the dissolved soap water in, and then add water Keep soaking, some old dirt will not be cleaned at all if you don't wash it like this.
After doing this, I started to look around the room.
Take out your workbook.
First, the kitchen, pots, pans, bowls, plates, and chopsticks, all need to be new, as well as some knives. If that doesn’t work, find a time to go to the forging workshop of the rolling mill and find a random master who will make it for you in ten minutes. A few knives came out.
At that time, Ma Teng will only have to spend money on materials or a pack of cigarettes.
But if we don't do this in the factory, we won't do it. It's a bit of a handle.
The rest are various seasoning jars, as well as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, all of which are needed.
I have finished thinking about the kitchen. There is nothing to add to the house. Although it is broken, it can be used with a little repair. There is no need to add new ones. The old table is big enough and comfortable enough, and there are eight matching small stools. Apart from that, Ma Teng also saw a dusty lounge chair and several high-backed stools in the back room.
It should have been brought to this house when Ma Teng moved in before.
But there is still a tray and a tea set missing, so a teapot is also needed.
It's getting cold soon, and we have to consider the issue of heating. We need a coal stove that is easy to use. If it doesn't work, we will design one ourselves. For example, when Ma Teng was a child, every household had an oversized coal stove. It can not only burn firewood, It can also burn coal and add water on one side. Once the water is hot, the whole house will be hot. It is simply a powerful tool of the era when Ma Teng was a child.
Not only that, it can also be used as an oven. I heard that the daughter-in-law of a handy woman has baked bread, and Zhu Dan’s family always bakes sweet potatoes and potatoes.
But gradually they were replaced by electric ones.
When Ma Teng was a child, he opened it himself and saw the structure inside, and he knew it clearly.
This is not particularly urgent, it’s only October.
As for the back room, there is not much to add, but you need to look around and buy whatever you like.
He took out yesterday's banknotes, and asked Ma Teng to put the brand-new ones without creases in the small box on the roof.
I stepped into a bag and put the money and tickets in an envelope. I took a total of 240, and I still have 200 for my family.
Holding the envelope in his hand, he put it directly into the space, then put his hand into the backpack, thinking about putting the envelope in his hand with his spiritual consciousness.
As a result, the envelope appeared directly on the outside of the bag.
Well, if you can't put it in your hands 100%, then you won't go out.
Ma Teng practiced like this, collecting and releasing things at the same time. From time to time, he would also collect some other things into the space.
It wasn't until I saw that the time on my broken alarm clock had reached 4 o'clock that I finally got used to the embarrassing thing of putting the envelope out and suddenly appearing outside the bag.
But this should work too.
If you go out here, you will definitely have to come back very late. If it is too late, the road will not be safe.
After thinking about it, I went to the small room next to me and rummaged through my father's belongings. I remembered that my father had several knives.
Sure enough, at the bottom of a box, I found a heavy cloth bag. When I opened it, I saw that there was a knife stuffed in each small bag, and several small daggers.
Ma Teng didn't care about so many, so he found the longest dagger or dagger with a length of 40 centimeters. He tried the edge and found it was quite sharp.
It has been neglected for so many years and there is no trace of rust at all.
Wipe it carefully, put it into the space, roll up the rest and put it back in its original place.
Looking at the dozens of boxes of various sizes in this room, I would sort them out whenever I had free time, but I didn’t know what was in here.
When I got to the door, I looked at the soaked clothes. They were okay. I'll soak them for a while and wash them when I get back.
The door to the house is locked, and the door outside remains locked after exiting.
Ma Teng left the courtyard gate, and when he entered the courtyard, he felt the strange atmosphere of the courtyard.
But several ladies in the courtyard who used to greet me when they saw me actually ignored me?
That's fine, it doesn't matter anyway, otherwise when the time comes and I really ask for something to feed my child, I won't know how to refuse.
This is fine. Just ignore me. Then I can just ignore you openly. Ma Teng walked with a smile on his face.
Talk about being gregarious.
How is that possible? A person who has received modern ideological education cannot play with, let alone get along with, people who were oppressed in his previous life at this time.
How can we get along with each other if we don’t have anything in common?
After exiting the gate, follow the memory left by the original body in your brain and move forward.
Arriving at Gulou Street, the large and small stores here are now state-owned stores.
But as I walked, I saw bicycles passing by from time to time, and I felt envious again. But a bicycle costs nearly 200 yuan, and a ticket is required. Ma Teng, who has a total of 400 yuan, is a little reluctant to part with it, but there are A trust store.
You can go and have a look.
Just as he left, Ma Teng walked towards the trust store.
It's really not small. There are six large rooms in this row, all of which belong to trust shops.
And the classification is very detailed.
There are jade articles, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, clocks, home furnishings, and you can even buy worn-out cotton-padded jackets, but you can rest assured that they are washed and washed before being sold.
Of course, there are also bicycles and so on.
Ma Teng turned around and went straight to the bicycle sales point.
It can be said that there are all kinds of bicycles here, and Ma Teng unexpectedly discovered that there are bicycles from the earliest period, and they are still 80% new.
I asked about the price, and obediently, they asked for 300. They said it came from the palace, that some concubine had given birth to it back then, and it had the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on it.
Seeing that Ma Teng didn't believe it, the salesperson pulled him closer and hit him with a flashlight to show him.
He also said that five cars entered the palace that year, one belonged to the old witch, one belonged to the emperor, two were given to a certain prince and a princess, and one belonged to this certain concubine.
Ma Teng smacked his lips and looked at what the people were saying. There was no need to lie these days. Maybe it was true. If he bought this, he could exchange it for a big labor in future generations.
But my pocket doesn't allow it.
I looked at other cars and found that 80% new cars were around 90, 70% new at 80, and 60% new, directly down to 50, but the salesperson promised that the brake wheels were all new, and it was just the paint on the frame. It just fell off, is a bit rusty, and not particularly beautiful.
But you can go to a car repair shop and paint the car for 5 yuan.
Ma Teng searched around and selected a 70% new permanent 28-inch large bumper. It was of excellent quality and weighed 700 to 800 pounds. As long as there were no punctures, there would be no problem with the frame.
Ma Teng thought he could cut the price, but the salesman changed his expression and said he wanted to buy it or not, and he would kill 85 in one bite.
If Ma Teng hadn't known that fights in stores were common in this era, how could he, a civilized person like himself, have done this?
He gritted his teeth and took out 85.
Fortunately, there are basically no problems with this car.
It's just that the seat looks a bit worn. I'll replace it with a new one when the time comes, and the handlebars will also be replaced. There are areas on the rear frame that may have been ground in the past, and other than a little rust, everything else is in good condition.
Ma Teng also looked at the brakes, and suddenly found that the trust store was still very conscientious, and the brake pads were actually new.
Soon the salesman came over with the voucher.
Ask Ma to leave the door and walk to the left. There is a police station. Just register and put on the license plate. Otherwise, the trust store will be confiscated and it will be ignored.
Hey, I didn’t buy anything. I just spent 85. Come on, let’s get a car license.
This process has opened Ma Teng's eyes. In this era, bicycles are also certified and licensed, and they cost 2.8 yuan a year.
That's probably what it looks like
After finishing the work, it was getting late, so I rode back, but when I passed by the trust store, I saw that it was not closed yet.
Parked the car, locked it, and walked inside.
The rummaging started here in the living area.
In fact, you don’t need to buy new tea cups and tea sets. The old ones are quite good. Not to mention, after rummaging around, I found 5 sets of different designs and colors. One set only costs 2 yuan, so Ma Teng bought the full price directly. 5 sets, quite heroic.
Thermos flasks are 90% new, so I bought 3 of them. I’m not afraid of more, I’m afraid of less.
There are also pots and pans, which are also available here, but they don’t require industrial tickets. Hey, isn’t this just right?
I bought three pots when they looked suitable, but I also fell in love with an old copper hot pot in the middle, so I took it decisively.
The tea can looked nice and exquisite, so I bought it.
It was rare for the salesperson to see a big shopper, so he followed behind, carrying a big basket. Whatever Ma Teng wanted, he carefully placed everything in the basket.
I bought a lot, and the most expensive one was a set of 8 bowls, 8 plates and 2 large bowls of porcelain, which only cost 7 yuan.
Ma Teng didn't even bring a counter-offer and asked the salesperson to install it directly.
In the final reckoning, it turned out to be more than 76.
Looking at the two big baskets, Ma Teng still couldn't believe that he had bought them. But after he pulled them, he scratched his head and asked the salesperson if the baskets were for sale.
The salesperson was not pretentious and sold it to Ma Teng for 5 cents each and one yuan.
When he was going out, Ma Teng saw calligraphy and paintings. Here are the antiques. Now that we are here, let’s take a look around.
After talking to the salesperson, I put down the basket and went straight to the calligraphy, painting and antique section.
Ma Teng saw a horse in an inconspicuous corner, and went up to take a look at the signature.
Ma Teng swallowed, of course, what he saw was not the round horse's butt, but the signature, written by Beihong.
"Hello, how much does this painting cost?"
"Oh, this one, just pay 8 yuan." The salesperson looked at a small piece of paper posted below.
Ma Teng's sharp eyes also saw it.
"Comrade, are these prices based on the prices listed above? Is there a counter-offer?" Ma Teng trembled and asked.
"Sorry, no counter-offer. These prices have been registered. If the price is reduced, we have to make up the difference." When the salesperson saw Ma Teng wanting to counter-offer, he squinted his eyes and was about to leave.
Look, salespeople in this era are so arrogant.
"Ahem... Comrade, you misunderstood. I won't bargain. I want this painting. Get it for me. Was it painted by this person?"
"Yes, there are fake ones here. It's not like Tang Bohu and Wu Daozi gave you fake ones. This painting hasn't been painted for a few years. I gave you fake ones. Isn't it enough to pay for the paper?"
"What? You have Tang Bohu and Wu Daozi here? How much does it cost?"
"It's not expensive, more than 200. I'll give you the money and show you the exact price. It depends on which one you like. These are the only ones here."
Well, Ma Teng rubbed his nose and felt that he couldn't afford it, but he hoped it wouldn't be the case.
"Comrade is joking. The purpose of buying a painting is just to make it a wall flower and not to put it on wallpaper. Do you have any other paintings like this one by Beihong, or any other paintings by Zhang Daqian, or Qi Baishi?"
Ma Teng took out all his money from his pocket, leaving a total of 35 yuan.
"Wait a minute, these money belong to Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi."
The salesperson started rummaging around.
A total of 6 scrolls were taken out, totaling 36, but the salesperson still exempted Ma Teng 1 yuan. Ma Teng happily carried the 7 scrolls tied together with cloth strips.
Send it, send it, from now on this painting will become a suite.
At this time, Ma Teng forgot about the purchase of a house for 10 yuan and 3 yuan last night.
But there are antiques next to the calligraphy and painting. Ma Teng is already penniless, so he can only do it.
He hung two large baskets on the back of the car with the salesman who was waiting for him, and put the calligraphy and paintings in his clothes. Even if the baskets were completely rotten, the paintings could not be damaged.
Riding towards home, Ma Teng was riding like a gust of wind.
