The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth
Chapter 37 Shifting Position
Later, Zhao Dongchuan and Li Huiying discussed changing the location to the entrance of a department store on Nanguan Commercial Street, where there were many rich people. The department store now only sold mechanical watches, and there were no electronic watches yet. However, mechanical watches were not only expensive, but also required tickets.
If I could stay there for a while, I might be able to sell it for a few dollars.
In fact, Zhao Dongchuan also thought about wearing the electronic watch to show off in the cultural center to arouse other people's interest, and then introduce Li Huiying to her. This way, he might be able to sell it faster, but he would expose himself and be in trouble if something went wrong!
But it can be used as an alternative plan! Zhao Dongchuan thought so.
The next day, he brought two watches to Li Huiying as usual, and specifically told her to run away immediately if something went wrong. If necessary, she could lose the watches and deny it, and then she returned to the cultural center.
In addition to implementing his sales plan these days, he was also thinking about which novel to "borrow". Most of the novels in the original world he had only heard of, but had not read them seriously, so of course there was no possibility of him remembering them.
Only some short stories he could vaguely recall.
According to his recollection, he slowly thought of the movie "Loess Plateau" directed by Chen Kaige in the original world.
This is a film that reflects life in northern Shaanxi. It tells the story of a literary and artistic worker who went to the countryside to collect folk songs and met a beautiful girl who was engaged to him as a child.
After spending some time together, the two fell in love with each other. When the literary worker was leaving, the beautiful girl sang Xintianyou and reluctantly saw him off. Unfortunately, the girl's family received a high amount of gift money and forced her to marry, so the beautiful girl committed suicide. That was a farewell forever.
Zhao Dongchuan also happened to watch this movie when he was bored and watching TV series. He adapted this movie based on some memories in his mind and some of his previous life experiences in Shuangshui Village, Yuanxi County.
As he was drafting, he kept making cuts and deletions until he was satisfied.
Seeing that he was writing seriously, his colleagues didn't want to disturb him. Besides, most of his colleagues had already received signed books. Although those who called him "wife" still had some intentions, after all, "Xiao Zhao" didn't want to do it, and they couldn't force him to go on a blind date.
In short, Zhao Dongchuan now has a rare period of free time. Every day he delivers goods to Li Huiying, then goes back to the cultural center to work and write. After get off work in the afternoon, he goes to collect the payment for the goods and settle the commission.
This afternoon, Zhao Dongchuan rode his bicycle to Cao Yuan and her daughter's home as usual.
"I don't know. I've changed the venue today. I wonder if it has been sold!" Zhao Dongchuan thought to himself.
After entering the house and looking at Li Huiying's smiling face, Zhao Dongchuan knew that he was safe.
After learning about the situation, Zhao Dongchuan found out what had happened.
It turned out that when Li Huiying arrived at the department store, she did not wander around outside, but went straight in and pretended to buy something and observed the customers inside, to see who wanted to buy a watch but was just waiting and not making a purchase.
After observation, we locked on to the customer and waited outside for him to come.
Sure enough, after being stopped by Li Huiying, those target customers basically got one answered for every question they asked. And this time, Li Huiying learned her lesson and chose a place with a wide view in front and various alleys in the back to deliver the goods. Buyers could only come alone, so they could discover danger in advance, hide in the alleys, and avoid being found and surrounded.
"Ding, completion progress: 135/200."
Sell 5 more watches and the mission will be completed.
Zhao Dongchuan felt that the current progress was acceptable and there was still plenty of time, so he thought about taking a break and letting Li Huiying take a vacation. In case someone reported it, she could avoid many risks during these days of rest.
So, at Zhao Dongchuan's suggestion, Li Huiying stayed at home to accompany Cao Yuan and make up for the maternal love she had lacked these days.
For the next five days, Zhao Dongchuan did not let Li Huiying sell watches anymore. He just asked her to go back to Yanggou and pay off some debts.
By paying back some of it this way, people would know she could pay it back and would not urge her to pay it back. If others asked her how she still had money now, she could say that she had found a new job and that some of it was her previous savings.
Of course, Zhao Dongchuan has not been idle these days. He wrote a letter back to his family, telling them about his current situation. Fearing that his family would not believe him, he specially sent them a copy of "Yanhe" magazine and remitted 50 yuan, specifically stating that this was his salary from the cultural center to reassure his family. If he had not been afraid that his family would become suspicious and it would be difficult to explain, he would have wanted to send 200 yuan directly to improve the family's financial situation.
It is better to wait until everything is stable here, then find an opportunity to go home, visit them, understand the situation, and then make plans.
In the morning, Zhao Dongchuan ran into Jia Bing, who reminded him, "Xiao Zhao, today is the day to get your salary, don't forget to collect it!"
Zhao Dongchuan felt dazed for a moment. A month had passed so quickly. These days he had been busy opening dungeons and helping Li Huiying and her daughter. He was so busy that he didn't even feel the time passing so quickly.
Arriving at the Finance Department, Zhao Dongchuan signed and received his first salary in this world as well as various bills. Holding the Great Unity in his hand, Zhao Dongchuan felt a little inexplicably guilty.
He only stayed in the office for about ten days in total, but his salary was paid in full. It is no wonder that everyone is scrambling to get into public office. Farmers can only earn a few dozen yuan after a year of hard work, and they still have to pray for good weather.
After sighing for a while, Zhao Dongchuan prepared to go back to purchase some supplies. After getting his salary, he had to improve his life.
By the way, he also wanted to find an opportunity to experiment and see if his storage ring could hold living things.
I’ve tried general things including pork before and it works, but I don’t know if live things will work.
I was always busy before and didn't have time to sit down and try it.
This time he planned to go to the market to buy a chicken, a fish, and a pigeon to test the animal on land, in the water, and in the air.
Zhao Dongchuan rode a bicycle and carried a backpack to the Nanguan Farmers' Market.
It was just after 10 o'clock in the morning. People were coming and going in the vegetable market, each carrying their own vegetable baskets, wandering around the market and queuing up to buy vegetables. It was a bustling scene.
Zhao Dongchuan spent 1.5 yuan to buy a chicken and asked the salesperson to put it in a bag. He also spent 80 cents to buy a fish in the aquatic area. He couldn't find a pigeon, so he had to go to the flower and bird market.
Zhao Dongchuan rode his bike around and arrived at Shangbeiguan. He heard from a salesperson in the farmer's market that there was a flower and bird market there, so Zhao Dongchuan asked around and arrived at the flower and bird market.
He spent another 3 cents to buy a sparrow, a rare species he didn't want. If the test turned out to be dangerous, it would be a waste of money.
It was almost noon when Zhao Dongchuan finished his work. He rode his bike leisurely back to the dormitory.
Close the door and prepare to start the experiment.
The storage ring was now worn around his neck with a red rope. It was like a space locator that could link to an alternate dimension.
The system's inventory can only hold items produced by the system, other things cannot be placed in it. The storage ring does not distinguish between any items and can hold anything.
It’s hard to tell which one is more advanced.
