After dealing with the matter of the physical room, Yang Rui went home, and walked on the road with the smell of the New Year everywhere, and there was an indescribable warmth. The big opera is sung everywhere, and the sound of suona gongs and drums can be heard everywhere, the unique and indescribable Kunqu opera emphasizes that the cheers of the audience are so lively that people who are not fans of the opera also want to go in and experience the taste of watching the opera.
Yang Rui still didn't endure the loneliness after all, and entered a teahouse called Jinghualou on the road, the teahouse is quite large and has four floors, and there is a narrow patio inside, and the tea guests on each floor can sit by the window and watch the stage in the patio, Yang Rui sat down on the second floor under the guidance of the hallman, ordered a pot of tea and some food and began to watch the play, the stage below is full of flags, gongs and drums, and the soft Jiangnan accent, whenever the singing is wonderful, the spectators on these floors will say loudly: "Good, good." "It's such a laid-back and fun day, no wonder so many people miss this kind of life.
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, Yang Rui did not expect how to spend the first New Year in this other world, the teachers and students of the society have all gone home, except for Mrs. Huang's family in the residence, and the other tenants have also gone home for the New Year. Fortunately, Mrs. Huang's family is still there, otherwise Yang Rui is still very flustered when he lives alone in that building, especially in the middle of the night, if someone goes up the stairs and the creaking sound is very ghostly, so that he doesn't dare to extinguish the oil lamp at night, because once it is extinguished, he can't see his five fingers in the dark in the room - there is no light pollution in this era, and he can't see things clearly when the lights go out at night, so he buys a lot of oil, fortunately the oil is not expensive, otherwise it will be troublesome.
I went back after eating at the teahouse in the evening, and when I entered the yard, the stray dog pounced on me, and now the dog did not look like a stray dog, and his whole body was clean. Because the concession is now beating dogs, Yang Rui had to be accommodating with Mrs. Huang to get it into the yard, Mrs. Huang was a little afraid of dog bites at first, but after a few days of contact, the dog is still very well-behaved, and she also likes it, and Mrs. Xu's daughter is even more terrible, she is playing with the dog every day, and her mother can't stop her from beating her, so she has to let it go. Usually, Yang Rui remembers to feed the dog by himself, and when he is not or busy, Mrs. Huang feeds him - Yang Rui asks the Lane Tangkou Restaurant to get some leftovers and bones to the yard every day. It seems that I can only celebrate the New Year with you, Yang Rui touched the twist and said.
At night, I climbed the lattice for a while and stopped working, and then took the notebook and lay on the bed to watch a movie - usually the notebook does not watch movies, mainly for fear of affecting the life of the notebook, and the general use is also four hours to shut down and rest, this day because of the Chinese New Year to make an exception. When he slept until midnight, Yang Rui was shocked by a burst of "Mmmm... Iku... Linax daddy... Ahhh......h Who knew that with a "bang", I pushed the laptop off the bed with too much force, and the "uh-huh... Ahhhhhhh
Yang Rui suddenly fell asleep, pounded the bed hard, turned around and lay flat on the bed for a long time without moving, half a ring before getting up and picking up the computer from the ground, turning it on and then turning it on, there was no movement, and then plugged in the power cord, and then turned on the computer, this time the computer "buzzed" started, and the display light was also on, Yang Rui said thank God in his heart, and immediately deleted the film of Little Japan, and then harmed himself, and looked at the time on the desktop after finishing it was already more than three o'clock, so he put on his clothes and continued to climb the lattice. The laptop is used for ten years at most, although I have only bought it for half a year, and it is a commercial machine, but it can't be completely packaged, and it is still necessary to speed up the output of the text.
Let others know the notebook, Yang Rui doesn't dare, he doesn't want to kill people, and he doesn't want to be killed, the best way is to find someone to copy, read it himself, and it must be through the curtain, so you must find someone who writes very fast, Yang Rui knows that there is a kind of thing to remember in the future, but there is no here, it seems that you still have to publish the newspaper to find someone, and now you can write twenty or thirty thousand words every day, too little, if you read it, you can have at least seventy or eighty thousand. Another day to do the real yĆ n, one person reads, a few people copy to see if it can be better, other things that are not very critical are to take notes, especially those previously downloaded through the novel, there are still a lot of records of technology and history, these are to be found by going through them. In short, the A-film door incident made him make a decision, that is, to get out the information inside as much as possible is the main problem now.
He felt sleepy again, and went to bed without taking off his clothes. When I woke up again, it was already more than nine o'clock, I went downstairs after washing, there were a few more people in the yard, Mrs. Huang was holding a four or five-year-old boy talking, Yang Rui said hello, Mrs. Huang said this is my son, just sent from my hometown, Yang Rui praised a few words, smiled and teased the child, but the child was afraid of life, hid behind his mother, the dog he liked very much, and kept pulling its tail. Yang Rui knows that he is not a person who likes children, and adults with a rigid face are rarely liked and don't care.
The flow of people on the streets on Chinese New Year's Eve has decreased significantly, many businesses have closed doors, only small doors are open, children are new clothes and hats, and groups of people are frolicking. Yang Rui walked directly to the riverside, walked from Gurdian Road to the river, which was actually very close, and then walked south along the riverbank, and entered the French Concession, which is a dock area, because the coolies of the New Year are nowhere to be seen. Seeing that the front is already going to rent the world, it stopped, now this look in the past if the officers and soldiers are looking for trouble, then don't think about the New Year, turn around and suddenly see the signboard of the fruit shop by the river, and be curious to go over to see, the earliest sixteen shops in Shanghai fruit batch market is here, this market was not demolished until the World Expo, Shanghai tycoon Du Boss is from here, but Du Boss is a cattle man of the Republic of China, and now it is the end of the Qing Dynasty but I don't know where he is.
This side of Linjiang is a row of warehouses, all of which are hung with the signboards of fruit shops, some Tongkang fruit stores, Tongfu fruit stores, Jiangbei fruit stores, the big sheds in front of each house are full of bamboo baskets or wooden boxes of fruits, Yang Rui smells this air with the smell of rotten fruits and feels very kind, and every time he goes to the fruit batch market in later generations, it is also such a taste. Because there was no one in the New Year market, he had to walk north along the path in the market, ready to go out of the market and then turn back to the main street, but when he walked to the middle of the heart, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, Yang Rui suddenly got up and wanted to go back, at this time he only heard a person shouting, and then a black shadow flew from the air. Yang Rui was already furious, and when he saw that he suddenly ran out of the bag, he immediately retreated, who knew that before he could retreat in a hurry, the black shadow dispersed, and then a piece of clothing fell on his shoulder, and fell to the mud again. Yang Rui took a closer look, and it turned out that what was thrown over was a burden, and the burden was scattered in mid-air, and the clothes inside fell to the ground.
"Book that, thick and deflated, and then make trouble to pull Nong to the number of foreigners, let Nong Qixi, there is no money to ask for, go out! Get out! As the clothes in the baggage landed, a woman's Shanghai scolding erupted, and then a young man was pushed out by two guys. Yang Rui was frightened by the burden just now in a cold sweat, he didn't want to cause trouble at all and wanted to avoid it, the two guys went back after they pushed it out, and took a straw tie to block the path into the store, I saw that the young man was dressed in a long shirt, and after shaking his head and sighing when he saw the clothes all over the ground, Yang Rui saw that those guys were going back, so he picked up the clothes that fell at his feet and brought them to him, the man took it and got up to salute and thank him, and saw that the person's face was clear and couldn't help but ask: "These brothers, what is the so-called?" ā
After hearing this, the man's lips moved but he didn't speak, but he sighed and said half-loudly: "I sell goods in this fruit store, but I have been refusing to settle the money after the goods are sold. He said the dialect of Zhejiang, Yang Rui mixed with Zhejiang people every day, he still understood this, nodded after listening, it is normal for this fruit shop to owe money, but it is rare to say that there is no account, it is estimated that the boss saw that he was weak so he relied on it, Yang Rui and this fruit seller named Zhang Hanting chatted and walked together, and the two of them found a restaurant to eat at noon, of course, this meal was invited by Yang Rui, Zhang Hanting was penniless.
This Zhang Hanting is from Taizhou, Zhejiang, and the specific ones should be Huangyan, Yang Rui heard him say that the place knows, and there is a plan in his heart, Huangyan tangerines have a very long history, and Japanese mandarins are passed from Huangyan during the Sui Dynasty, although in later generations, the strong demand for fruits and the warming of the climate have made tangerines begin to be planted in various places, and the name of Huangyan mandarins is rarely heard, but before the Republic of China, it is still Huangyan that really high-quality large-scale citrus planting areas.
The story is very old-fashioned, Zhang Hanting has read some books, and also studied in the church of foreigners, there is more than 100 acres of land at home, half of which the paddy field is planted with rice, and the other dry land is planted with citrus, this year's orange harvest, the oranges at home can not be sold, only half of them were sold in the early days, and no one wants them later, he saw that the mandarins at home could not be sold, so he pulled the tangerines that his relatives did not sell to Shanghai to buy, and he was looking for this north and south fruit line, Later, after the fruit store paid some money, the rest was delayed, he said: "I came to ask for the account this time, I wanted to go back for the New Year, but now the money has not arrived, and the money I brought is nothing." If I hadn't known Brother Ren, I would ......."
Yang Rui knew what was going on after listening, this fruit store should have done something in the accounts, so he dared to say that there was no money so neatly, and it should not be possible to ask for it again, and he couldn't say it directly. I had to let him eat first, and then settle down after eating. He looked at his clothes, shoes and hats, he didn't look like a peasant, it seemed that his family was still well-off, and he didn't know why he came out to do this.
The two of them ate Yang Rui took him to the Zhangji Inn on Baoshan Street where he lived last time, and when he returned to the shopkeeper, he still remembered him, and saw that he brought someone to live, he was very happy, this New Year's money came to the door and was a good omen for him, and he arranged a place to live, and the two did not go up immediately, and sat in the store, drinking the tea made by the shopkeeper and chatting about the situation of Huangyan mandarins. He can't tell what the total output of citrus in Huangyan is, but every family in Huangyan is planted, a few acres less, more than a dozen acres, dozens of acres like his family is still a lot, oranges are listed in July and August every year, and the oranges can be put in the New Year, and few people will save them after the year. This year's production is too much, the price was more than three yuan a box earlier, and two yuan fell later, and then it was not good to get to one piece later.
"How much does a box weigh?" Yang Rui couldn't figure out how much his box was, and the number of boxes in each place was different.
"Some are bigger, some are smaller, basically forty pounds." Although Zhang Hanting is not a professional fruit seller, the goods brought in this year are all organized by him, and some things are still very clear in his heart.
"A box is more than forty catties, and if it is three yuan a box, it is eight cents a catty, which is still very high" Yang Rui roughly calculated, eight cents will be seven or eight yuan in the future, and a pound can be sold for seven or eight yuan, which is a lot of price.
Zhang Hanting shook his head and said: "Master Yang doesn't know, it is a lot of money, but the freight, customs fees, and the pumping in the line, there are a lot of taxes and fees that can't be explained. After saying that, he sighed deeply.
Yang Rui thought that the fee was too high, accounting for two or three percent, no wonder the price fell to a piece and had no sale, the cost of seven or eight corners per box, plus the cost from the field to the wharf, plus labor and capital interest, selling a box for a dollar is simply for nothing, less than one piece is a loss, this is still for the planters, for the traders, the box can not be sold for more than five no one wants to do it, it seems that the business is still not good, even if you grow citrus, you can't do it. Yang Rui thought of the oranges that were still rotting in the corner of the room, they were all green last time, and there seemed to be two seeds in them, could he take them to Huangyan to plant, so that he could also pass on the seeds first.
The two chatted for a while, Yang Rui as a fruit seller in the later generations said that the head is the way, this Zhang Hanting family is knowledgeable, the ancestors also have a person, he has entered the West for a few years, many ideas are also close to the modern people of the later generations, in Yang Rui's opinion, he seems to be a classmate who is not deeply involved in the world, the more the two are more and more energetic, at the moment Yang Rui said that he is also a person to invite Zhang Hanting to eat together for Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Hanting gladly agreed, and the two went out of the inn to find a place to have dinner.
