Chapter 37 A New Beginning
Early in the morning, Ye Bei was awakened by the sound of pouring the toilet. Before dawn, the city had already awakened, and the night-loving worker was pushing the car and pouring the toilet door to door.
Tonghai City has sewers, but only those rich villas and foreign businessmen have them. Most citizens still have to pour the toilet and set a regular schedule every morning.
Ye Bei found that he had to adapt. After all, he could use the toilet at any time in Zhaojia Village, but he could not find so many public toilets in the city. Even if there were, many public toilets were only to solve the problem of men's urine and could not be large.
So it would be very embarrassing to have diarrhea when you go out. You can’t find KFC or a supermarket to borrow a toilet in another world.
Everyone got up very early, and it was really 'the plan for the day was in the morning'.
I go to bed early at night and get up in the morning.
Those who sweep the floor, those who cook, those who coax the children.
Zhang San walked around the yard with his child in his arms, not like a treasure hunter who was traveling around the world.
"My son, Zhang Junbao." The little baby kept crying in the room yesterday and didn't let him see outsiders. Today, Zhang San carried his son out.
"This kid is so crazy. When he grows up, he must be a father without a son." Ye Bei sincerely praised him with a white round face.
"I will definitely pass all my robe and mantle to him in the future." Zhang San said proudly: "When I was three years old, I would be going to send him to a private school to start a school."
It's so hard to start studying at the age of three.
All morning was full of chaos. Zhang San asked someone to buy specialties and asked the two farmers to bring them back, and then let them go. He also asked them to bring back two new pieces of cloth to the old couple of Li's family. He wore so many of their old clothes, and used them as thanks.
After the store opened, Zhang Sanli invited several guests to take a look, especially hoping that Lu Ruhui would taste the goods in his store.
In Zhangji Antique Store, the sign of the log red paint is hung under the eaves. This street has no neon lights and looks quite old. It is an antique old street. Many foreigners like this style.
Take off the door panel and it is considered to be open for business.
"Senior Brother." Zhang San's junior brother is Mr. Zhang's disciple. After Zhang San got married and started his career, the old man lived in the old house and did not live with his son.
Wang Xiaoxian already knew that his senior brother was not going well this time and brought back a group of customers. Now he saw so many people standing in the store, but he didn’t know what his senior brother was going to do.
"Junior brother, this Miss Lu is a folk scholar. I'll invite her to come and have a look." Zhang San said.
Folklore scholar? Wang Xiaoxian looked confused. He looked like he was twenty-five or six years old, but when he was fifteen, he became a disciple under the old man and had ten years of experience in his career, so he did not believe in folk scholars at all.
The things on the surface are naturally not treasures, most of them are lie. Even if there are real products occasionally, they are just porcelain from the Northern Dynasties, and they have only a history of more than a hundred years.
"These are all sold to foreigners." Lu Ruqi knew that foreigners regarded Jiuzhou porcelain as treasures, and so many porcelains in the store must be prepared for foreigners.
"That's right." Zhang San did not shy away at all: "Foreigners are rich and powerful, and they like porcelain, and they don't care about the age. If they look good, they buy it. Many of my customers are foreigners."
"These things are craftsmanship, but the patterns and styles are full of loopholes." Lu Ruqiu pointed to several antique vases and said, "This is imitating the pottery glaze of the Zhou Dynasty, but the Zhou Dynasty did not have this shape at all, and the patterns on it were not right. The phoenixes were more noble than phoenix treasures during the Zhou Dynasty, so the picture was also wrong."
"Yes, this thing is indeed wrong, and it's ridiculously wrong." Wang Xiaoxian found that the woman wearing a hat had two brushes, and he could see the problem at a glance. But he was also surprised that this woman was wearing a hat in the house. Can she see it?
The mistakes of Lu Rujia's products on the store showed her profound cultural relics skills and was indeed very powerful.
Ye Bei, who was standing by, actually couldn't understand it at all, but on the surface he still pretended to understand it and maintain his master's temperament. At the same time, he also knew that there was nothing really valuable in the store, because Zhang San was not a collector, but a businessman. He would not keep valuable treasures in his hands, but instead tried every means to turn the treasures into money.
This time I went to Hongji Town to complete a big deal, but in the end the things were confiscated by Ye Bei. Zhang San didn't dare to ask for them. If he got the book of earth and was dead on the boat, only the Qigong master would not be afraid of burning his hands.
The things in the store are all fooling people, and many of them are completely unfair, so they can only deceive laymen who are not knowledgeable.
At this time, Ye Bei's attention was attracted by a stack of things in the corner, which was a thick stack of newspapers: "Let me see these newspapers."
"Look at it casually." Zhang San knew that Ye Bei was a paradise and was full of curiosity about the city.
The senior brother really found a group of weird people, and Wang Xiaoxian only felt that he couldn't understand these people.
In the afternoon, Zhang San and his wife took Zhao Hu, Zhao Jiaqiang, Qin Ying and Lu Ruqi to go shopping for purchases, while Ye Bei hid in the guest room and read the newspaper.
For Ye Bei, going shopping is not as interesting as reading newspapers. Ye Bei wants to know about the East and West Street, but there is one in the newspaper.
So even though Zhang San really wanted the master to go out with him, Ye Bei still refused. He wanted to learn and make him happy.
The content in the newspaper mainly includes local news in Tonghai City, with occasional international news and Jiuzhou news, advertisements, strange stories, missing person notices, rules and regulations, and some poetry and prose.
The latest imported Ji'ant brand car is priced at 1,200 taels of silver. You can get a free driver's license and a half-year warranty now.
Xinyue brand cigarette factory recruits workers, with no limit on men and women, under 45 years old, and an hourly salary of 8 cents.
The Caritas Rescue Association of Port District provides river and sea salvage and rescue work for a long time. The prices are fair and the services are comprehensive. If you need it, please contact number: 122133.
There are many advertisements in the newspaper, which shows that businessmen have learned this method of publicity from abroad.
There are also some news about government orders, such as the policy of building new factories to get two-year tax exemption, as well as new regulations that workers must not work more than twelve hours, or timetable adjustments to ships and trains.
Of course, it also includes the adjustment of electricity bills and water bills. There are electric lights in Zhangsanjia, but they are only installed in stores and not installed in places where people live because the electricity bill is not cheap.
Water bill refers to tap water bill. There is a well in the backyard of Zhangsanjia, but no tap water. By reading the newspaper, you can know that the tap water plant hopes to promote tap water pipes in the old city, but things have not been decided yet.
There is also a wanted order, a wanted New Year's Eve killer. This person committed a family of nine families on New Year's Eve. Those who provide clues can get a bounty of fifty taels of silver. This wanted order was five months ago. I wonder if the New Year's Eve killer was caught.
There is also the latest wanted order that is the wanted moon night monster thief. This person committed crimes many times and stole the national treasure "The True Classic of Wordless", causing a lot of economic losses and bad influences. Those who provide clues can get a bounty of 100 taels of silver. There is also a black and white sketch in the newspaper, which is a thief with a masked face.
In addition to these, there are also poems and essays submitted by individuals. Of course, as newspapers, there are naturally a war of verbal wars about current affairs. Ye Bei saw that everyone expressed his opinions and was interested in them.
The biggest debate during this period was the discussion between "comprehensive foreignization", "de-Jiuzhouization" and "traditional culture". Because Jiuzhou lags behind, we should learn from the great powers in all respects and abandon all traditions. Only in this way can we strengthen the country and the people.
Opponents believe that traditional culture is not guilty, and that the guilty one is every Jiuzhou person born in this era, who is weak rather than culture.
