Time Travel Article: Tool Man Rejects Plot

On the way back, Guangliang and Guangsheng carried her two bags.

During the whole process, Gu Mingyue only needed to hold Xiao Shitou's hand and follow behind, it was very easy.

The young man is very strong and carrying the luggage is like a piece of cake for him.

I feel more and more that the decision to take Guangsheng out is a wise one.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the guesthouse, I found some people waiting for the light.

When I learned that he was a comrade from the other side, I wanted to invite him upstairs to have a drink of water and something to eat.

After being politely declined by the other party, I realized that the other party had actually been waiting for a while in order to take Guangliang back.

Gu Mingyue hurried upstairs to take down the photos and asked Guangliang to finish selecting and go back quickly so as not to delay work.

In the end, Guangliang only picked out a group photo that included her and Xiao Shitou before leaving reluctantly.

Gu Guangsheng felt a little disappointed when he saw this...

Gu Mingyue also doesn’t like this feeling of parting. What should she do if she wants to relax?

Of course, buy, buy, buy!

So the two adults and one child went straight to Harbin's No. 1 Department Store.

Butterfly sewing machine? 180 yuan plus a sewing machine ticket. Bought it.

Flying Pigeon bicycle?

28-inch men's bicycle, also known as the 'Black Tiger'.

The car body is cool black, coupled with the shiny front, it shines brightly and is very popular at the moment.

Its popularity can be seen from the crowds that gathered there.

On the contrary, no one was interested in the only women's bicycle.

Gu Mingyue was worried that there was something wrong with the car.

After asking the salesperson, I found out that it was because everyone thought women's bicycles were not practical.

Nowadays, bicycles are not only used for commuting to get off work, but also for heavy transportation.

The whole family relies on this car when they go shopping or pick someone up from a long distance.

Therefore, compared with the lightweight women's model, the sturdy and durable 28-inch bicycle is more popular.

After asking about the price, I found out that this Fei Ge women's model is 10 yuan more expensive than the men's model, 170 yuan, plus the bicycle ticket.

I see. It must be not only impractical but also uneconomical.

Gu Mingyue doesn't need to worry about this issue and just issue the invoice.

I walked to the counter next to me and saw a thermos with colorful patterns. It was prettier than the hollowed-out tin one at home. I thought this was not too much, so I bought two.

Water turtle, white in color, shaped like a turtle shell.

It is actually an early hot water bag.

I've never seen this in Qingshan Town. Give me two, no, four, and save them for the winter.

A spittoon with red double happiness characters?

You can’t feel it in the summer, but in the winter, this thing is very practical.

Although it is somewhat unhygienic for modern people, it is now called the descendants' bucket and is indispensable in every household.

Crayons? Buy two boxes for Xiao Shitou, and go back to draw for fun. I saw the brushes and ink on the side...

When the original owner went to school in the early years, the books were all arranged vertically.

Moreover, many teachers still follow the old tradition of using a brush to write. Every student must learn to write with a brush.

Coincidentally, Gu Mingyue made money later and also went to learn it.

Of course, at that time, my main thought was that it would be useful if I could travel back to ancient times.

As she practiced slowly, she found that writing can really help people calm their minds and concentrate their energy, and she became more and more interested in it.

Sometimes I would write when I have some free time. Now I can pick up my hobby again.

There is also a row of yellow shoulder bags hanging behind the counter.

There is only one color in town, but here there is more military green.

Well, this color looks better.

Yellow shoulder bags are mostly made of canvas and come in only one style, with a red star.

This kind of shoulder bag is commonly known as a military shoulder bag. It is said that it can hold 2000 rounds of rifles or 10 pistol rounds, which is very spacious.

It is a very popular bag at the moment.

Gu Mingyue thought of her home and asked her elder brother to help build a house, but she didn't know how to return the gift.

This shoulder bag can be used as a gift, one for each child in the family. It won't make the relationship feel strange and you can also return the favor.

Finally, I asked the salesperson to take seven.

She had two extra ones, one for her own use and the other as a precaution.

At this time, Gu Mingyue noticed the tiger-head flashlight on the counter.

I have one at home, but the battery is dead.

I originally just wanted to buy a battery, but then I remembered that I had the remaining tickets and a ticket for a flashlight.

He walked with Guangsheng to the corner of the stairs and took out a dozen in front of the other party's shocked eyes.

Plastic shoe tickets, cloth shoe tickets, lock tickets, battery tickets, scissors tickets, civilian mirror tickets, plastic raincoat tickets, lighter tickets, toothpaste tickets, toothbrush tickets, soap tickets, toilet soap tickets, washing powder tickets, razor blade tickets, aluminum teapot tickets, aluminum lunch box tickets, washbasin tickets, pot liner tickets, handkerchief tickets...

She remembered that after the country started issuing industrial coupons in 1961, these things could only be bought by accumulating industrial coupons.

If I remember correctly, on average one industrial voucher was available for every 20 yuan of wages.

She thought she might as well buy everything now while she had the chance.

If it is not needed now, it will be needed in the future. If it really doesn’t work, the village will absorb it internally.

It’s not a bad deal to exchange it for firewood, eggs, etc.

Then he took Guangsheng and started a crazy shopping trip.

Gu Guangsheng kept whispering in Gu Mingyue's ear, "Aunt, don't buy anymore, that's enough, that's enough..."

While secretly calculating how much this trip would cost...

Lost? Sad? What is that? Only heartache!

Although it wasn't his money that was spent, he still felt a little overwhelmed!

Oh, and the fear that my aunt spends money is so scary.

I didn't want to listen to this kid's nagging. When I bought the sewing machine, I had already inquired and found out that the department store could deliver the goods since it was close.

Anyway, the purpose of relaxing has been achieved. The process is not important, the result is the most important.

She asked Gu Guangsheng to carry Xiao Shitou back to the guesthouse to wait for the delivery, while she continued to wander around.

I haven't found the thing I want to buy the most yet.

After Guangsheng left, Gu Mingyue placed all the things she bought on the sewing machine counter.

While no one was paying attention, he slipped a dime into the pocket of the salesperson and asked her to help watch over the items.

Asked them to send the items to the guesthouse together with the delivery.

Since there was extra money to be made, the other party readily agreed.

Gu Mingyue was not afraid of any tampering, even though the current salesperson had a bad attitude.

But they dare not make mistakes in principle. If they dare to do so, someone will be eager to take over the next day.

The management of the underground market in Harbin is much looser than that in Qingshan Town.

Often, the smaller the place, the more rules it has, and this is mostly caused by the time difference in issuing documents.

The regulations are issued one by one overlappingly, and the people at the top don't want to cause trouble, so they will enforce a one-size-fits-all approach.

The main point is to do nothing and there won’t be any trouble.

Soon, Gu Mingyue went to the black market.

I found a deserted corner and put on makeup like a middle-aged aunt.

After counting the existing supplies in the space, it was fortunate that 500 chickens, ducks and geese were left unkilled.

It should be enough if we take out 200 each this time.

After planning what to exchange, Gu Mingyue went straight to the black market.

The boss of the black market here is called Zhai Xiangnan.

I just found out that they have three brothers, namely Xiangdong, Xiangnan and Xiangxi.

They are in charge of three areas of Harbin respectively. It is also a family business.

Zhai Xiangnan is the second child. At first glance, he looks like a weak scholar, with fair complexion and gentle manners.

He looked lazy and didn't seem to care about business at all.

This made Gu Mingyue doubt for a moment whether this man was the boss of this area.

It was not until the other party scared away his men with a look that Gu Mingyue realized that he was just trying to show his power.

She didn't beat around the bush and directly stated the goods she had. "200 chickens, ducks and geese each. I'm only exchanging them for food. If you don't have any, I won't bother you."

Zhai Xiangnan asked curiously, "Why so much food?"

Gu Mingyue still used the same excuse, "I heard there was a disaster in the southwest, so I wanted to go there. I don't need any refined rice or flour. Sorghum, corn, or old rice, as long as it's not bad or sprouted, will do."

Zhai Xiangnan didn't ask any more questions. He didn't even think highly of such a small thing.

Besides, this woman specifically asked for bad rice. She hates these people who make money from dead people the most.

Decided to let the third brother come over next time, he doesn’t like to deal with this woman.

He told his subordinates to prepare food and said no more.

Gu Mingyue didn't know that the person opposite her was laughing at her for taking only fifty steps. If she knew, she would probably just find it ridiculous.

This is like a crow standing on a pig. It can see the blackness of others but not its own blackness.

She secretly counted the money she had in her mind, and it was nearly three thousand at the beginning.

The cement bricks and other things were exchanged for other things, but the watch and today's expenses were all paid out of the previous money.

I have less than two thousand left now.

It is true that he spends a lot, but all the money is necessary, so it can't be said to be wasteful.

It’s just that I don’t have much left, so I’m a little uncertain.

The person opposite her didn't say anything, so she scrolled through the odds and ends in her space to see if there was anything else she could use besides food.

I noticed those hairpins and hair bands and bought them passionately when I was watching videos on the live streaming platform.

Later, she felt that it was expensive and not cost-effective, so when she purchased goods, she also bought some in bulk at the small commodity city.

They are all fabrics and can be completely replicated with the current level of craftsmanship.

That's it!

Pretending to dig through his bag, he took out two styles and asked, "Brother Nan, take a look at these?"
