Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 138 The city of this era

In the evening, I ate all the braised pork cooked yesterday. If I don't finish it, the meat will go bad.

Then, the night~~ got deep again.

Zhao Qian thought that Luo Cheng had deliberately taken a day off just to have fun walking around the city with her, so she planned to take the initiative tonight.

"Luo Cheng, what are you doing? I don't want to keep watching."

"This~~, you can do whatever you want."

Luo Cheng was already a little nervous and put his wife's face down to her waist. It was difficult to put forward some ideas. He felt that he had fallen and could not open his mouth to let Zhao Qian accept new knowledge.

Just be normal, and then~~, go to sleep~~.

The next day, Zhao Qian woke up early again, wearing the shirt and pants she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative. What was prepared for Luo Cheng were the clothes and trousers he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, not the factory work clothes. This is how the two of them feel particularly matched.

Sweet potato porridge, not to mention how fragrant it is, but it is absolutely comfortable to drink. When Luo Cheng woke up, he lay on the bed for a while.

Another day passed in the future and returned to my own time. All the eels and loaches there were sold. Luo Cheng also bought some things at the private house over there, including some sugar. The cantaloupe he bought last time was pretty good, so he bought some more. And I found a store that specializes in selling bulk wine. The bulk wine is packed in big jars, not the plastic buckets in supermarkets.

The newly purchased wine seems to smell better. As for the fabrics that his sisters and Ergouzi wanted, Luo Cheng found them online, but not in pieces. It’s not that there aren’t pieces of cotton thread material on the Internet, but there are too many pieces of cloth with bright colors and various patterns and tones.

What Luo Cheng wants is gray, black and white cloth with a single color and dark spots. Then Luo Cheng saw some tablecloth covers on the Internet. The material was cotton cloth, white, not snow white or gray. A tablecloth, 1.35 meters by 1.35 meters, costs 40 yuan a piece.

Even though their tablecloths may seem rather tacky, their advertising slogan is simple, plain and simple. Well, these three elements perfectly sum up the characteristics of Luo Cheng's fabrics of this era.

He bought five tablecloths first, and the delivery address was still at a private house. When the goods arrived, Luo Cheng went to the town and took them there.

In addition, because there was no goods to sell, Liu Xiaofei asked Luo Cheng to accompany him to the mall tomorrow. Luo Cheng had never been to any malls and wanted to explore new areas and buy some things. It's better than just going shopping with her. The last time I took her shopping, the snacks never stopped in her mouth. After walking a few blocks, she couldn't walk and had to carry them.

Luo Cheng got dressed and took Zhao Qian for a walk around the city today. In fact, he didn't even know where he was going, and he was not familiar with the city. After having dinner with Zhao Qian, the two of them went out. Although they were walking around aimlessly, there was nothing wrong with heading towards the center of the city.

Urban construction is backward in Luo Cheng's opinion now. In the future, there will be high-rise buildings everywhere. But now a house with only a few floors appeared by chance, and Zhao Qian said to Luo Cheng that it was so high.

Luo Cheng has witnessed the achievements of the future country, which gives him the feeling of looking back at its development process. When I went out for a walk with Zhao Qian, I basically just watched. In some very small alleys, the aisles were very small, and there were rows of sinks and faucets. Many people stood outside the house after getting up to wash their clothes.

The old man in shorts and a vest was enjoying the shade under the tree early in the morning. When he met someone playing chess, there would always be people around him to watch.

Passing by a city river, there are cement guardrails in the river. Some elderly people were fishing here early in the morning. Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian deliberately passed by the fishermen to see what they had gained from the buckets placed beside them.

This should be the reason why most people are reluctant to use bait to make nests. Fishing all depends on the choice of location, and most of it depends on luck. Most of them catch a few small fish as long as a finger. There are few who catch big fish, and there are also many who don't catch any fish.

Among children in the city, many boys play cockfighting early in the morning, and there is also a place called Douaiguai. Otherwise, they are chasing each other. In this regard, it has to be said that the people in the city do not have as many things to play with as the children in other towns.

At any rate, go to the field to catch a toad, and then find a kind of grass whose stem is as hollow as a straw in the middle. Peel off the stems of the grass and insert them into the toad's~~~. Anyone who wants to see a toad's belly grow bigger instantly knows how to do it.

Just bring something with you and go catch crabs in the ditches in the fields, beetles and other bugs in the trees. Anyway, anything flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, as long as you can catch it, they are all children's toys.

In the city, at least for children of Luo Cheng's age, there were really few toys to play with.

I didn’t buy anything. In fact, there was nothing to buy, and there were no shops or stalls. But Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian also had a great time shopping, and they also saw a movie theater. There would be a sign hanging at the door of the movie theater, which would tell what movie was shown at what time today.

But there are usually no movies to watch in the morning. Even when the cinema projectionist goes to the countryside to show movies, it is normal for the cinema to go without movies for a few days.

Nowadays, most of the movies shown in movie theaters are service propaganda, and most of the movies are to promote the anti-Japanese war, or some movies about how people were oppressed before liberation, and how everyone overthrew everything after liberation and lived a free and happy life.

And there is a movie to watch at 2:30 this afternoon, called "The Wandering Story of Sanmao".

The next-door neighbor in town has two daughters, but the third one is a girl, called Sanmei. It turns out that Sanmao became the third sister in his family because of his wandering. Later, the town will have to tell Da Mao and Ermao that they actually have a younger brother. No, it should be that Sanmei is not actually called Sanmei, but Sanmao. When she was two years old, she went out for a wander and came back, so she changed her name to Sanmei.

Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian have both seen movies before, but rarely. When they were in the town, there were movies in the countryside every year, but they didn't go to every town. They almost went to one place a year, and the movies were played in nearby towns. , if you want to watch a movie, it’s normal to walk for half an hour and an hour to see it. Outdoor movies can be played on a stage.

The movies Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian had watched before were all propaganda-based movies. This "The Wandering Story of Sanmao" was a plot, and of course it was set during the Anti-Japanese War. Neither of them had seen it. A movie ticket costs ten cents, and you can buy ten pounds of cabbage at the wet market. But the allure of watching movies made Zhao Qian willing to spend the dime. When she returned to town, she could tell her sisters-in-law that she had watched movies in the city.

However, the movie was not shown until after two o'clock in the afternoon. Zhao Qian asked Luo Cheng if he wanted to go back and cook and eat before coming back. Luo Cheng didn't want to run back and forth, so he used some food stamps and bought some pancakes for lunch at a pancake place.

They bought movie tickets in advance, but since they didn't have a watch to tell the time and the weather was hot, the two of them just wandered around.

When the movie was about to open, there were quite a few people like Luo Cheng in front of the cinema who came to wait for the movie to start because they didn't have a watch to check the time. For many people, the time to watch movies is during working hours. There were quite a few young couples who came to watch the movie. They were obviously lovers, but they were very close to each other and they didn't dare to hold hands.

After entering the cinema, it was daytime outside but darker inside. It was both Luo Cheng's and Zhao Qian's first time to watch a movie in an expensive cinema. It seemed that many of the other lovers who came to watch the movie secretly held hands with her.

Luo Cheng didn't hold hands with Zhao Qian or anything. He and Zhao Qian sat in a corner. There weren't many people paying to watch movies in the cinema, so the seats were free, so you could do whatever you wanted. Luo Cheng was so bold that he hugged Zhao Qian's waist and watched the movie. And this doesn't seem to be a big deal in the movie theater, but the young people who are talking about the partner don't dare to do this, and some people who have been talking for a long time and are basically settled also dare to hug their waists.

That is to say, no one can compete with Luo Cheng. If he dares to touch his butt, Zhao Qian is the kind of person whose belly and butt are cool to the touch and very comfortable even if it is hot.

However, Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian came to the cinema to really watch a movie. Unlike those people who are in a relationship, watching a movie is just one of their goals.
