Early the next morning, He Yuheng strolled out. People who weren't from the north might not know that this bathhouse was opened in the morning and returned at night. However, this precious time could not be wasted. He had to continue learning today. This was also what He Yuheng and his master had agreed on. If he wanted to read, he could go over during his break, just like Han Chunming.
At this time, there were no weekends. Normally, they worked eight hours a day and worked six days a week. In a year, they could have 52 days of rest. Including the seven days of legal holidays, there were only 59 days in total.
After taking a comfortable bath, He Yuheng felt refreshed. Then, he went straight to his master's home.
The old man had also woken up long ago. Judging from his energy, he must have already trained. He was just waiting for breakfast.
"Where's Han Chunming?"
"That monkey probably hasn't woken up yet! Where's my stew?"
"Here."
He Yu raised her hand, indicating that it was in the bag. Then, he took out the stewed pork, stir-fried liver, and a bag of buns.
"Minced meat?"
"Yes, I bought it early in the morning.”
"Fine, just because of this, I didn't take you as my disciple for nothing.”
"You're really blessed. You can't even find a filial disciple like me who doesn't miss your precious child!”He Yuheng boasted, causing the old master to scold him.
After the master and disciple had breakfast, they began their learning mission for the day. Han Chunming came over for a while in the morning. Learning in this era wasn't complicated. There were only a few classes a day, so it was considered half a break.
....................................................................................
However, He Yuheng had been learning for the entire day.
At the end, his master casually said to He Yuheng,"Oh right, there's a ghost market at Chaoyang Gate tonight.”
"Will you take me there?"
"Go by yourself! I want to sleep at night!"
"Alright, sleep well tonight. I'll go by myself.”
The distance between Zhengyang Gate and Chaoyang Gate was about seven kilometers. The route was not complicated, just a big right angle.
"What time?"
"Didn't you go there before? Who knew what time it was in the ghost market? Anyway, he just had to go after 12 o'clock. If he went early, there would be no one. If he went late, there would be no one!”
This old man from Beijing did not use any vulgarities when he spoke. However, it sounded very annoying. However, he was used to it. All the old men from Beijing spoke in this tone. In fact, it was still the same in modern times. However, it was not that the people of Beijing did not like foreigners. In fact, it was those who came here earlier who looked down on foreigners. The locals were very friendly to foreigners. The only thing was that his mouth was a little bad. The people under Huangcheng Root usually spoke like this. However, as long as it was someone they admired from the bottom of their hearts, they would be respectful.
"Why is there a ghost market again tonight? It's open so frequently. Aren't you afraid of being robbed?”
"Then be careful. If you see something wrong, run. It hasn't been peaceful recently. If he really couldn't escape, he could just go in and be locked up for a few days!”
“……”
See, this was his own master.
He Yuheng left his master's house and returned to the courtyard house. There were sounds of laughter coming from an auntie's house. It seemed to be quite lively.
"Yo, so many people!"
In the house, the old lady, one middle-aged woman, two middle-aged women, and three middle-aged women were all there. There was also a group of old women sitting inside eating melon seeds. There was even some wine and peanuts on the table.
"Yo, what are the aunties doing? There were also peanuts, melon seeds, and wine. It was quite nourishing.”
He Yu said with a smile. She walked to the table and sat down. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and removed the shells one by one before handing them to the old lady. The old lady grinned, revealing her few remaining teeth.
"Hey, your teeth are suffering too. I'll ask someone tomorrow to see where I can make a set of dentures for you. With teeth, you can eat faster and absorb more nutrients. You can also live for a few more decades and help me take care of my grandchildren in the future.”
"Good fellow. Yuheng, the old lady still has to pee for your child. The old lady had washed your sister's diapers, peed on you, and took care of you when you were growing up. If Old Madam can really take care of your children and grandchildren, we'll all be happy!”
Everyone laughed and chatted. The old lady was not afraid of this at all. She smiled and said,"Give me a great-grandson as soon as possible. I can hug him!”
"Yes, you can hug and eat peanuts.”
"I can't eat this!"
The old lady refused, and everyone laughed.
Old people had to be played with. Old children, old children, just like children. Don't make them angry. Don't say those unlucky words. Just treat them like children and coax them to play.
"What are the aunties talking about?"
He Yuheng poured himself a glass of water and asked curiously.
Although it was not late at night, it was not early either. Why weren't these old women going home to sleep?
"You don't know? Today, Xu Damao was really criticized by the entire factory. Even his identity as a projectionist was suspended!”
"What?!"
What a big surprise!
"Come, come, come. Auntie, eat some melon seeds. Tell me in detail.”
Eating melons had always been a great hobby of the masses, not to mention that this was the melon of their sworn enemy.
"This isn't something that happened last night. Today, the security department reported it to the factory. The factory manager was very angry and thought that this was a groundless frame up. Therefore, the entire factory directly criticized Xu Damao and suspended Xu Damao's work as a projectionist for a week!”
"Just a week? I think it's too short."
He Yuheng shook his head. There was no other way. Projection staff in this day and age was also a technical job. Ordinary people wouldn't mess around. As long as the projector was more advanced, no one had ever come into contact with such electronic products. Therefore, it was very precious and was maintained and repaired by fixed personnel.
"It can't be helped. It's the end of the year, and there are more movies being shown!”
The New Year came early this year, in January. Xu Damao had the most work at this time of the year, and all the major communities wanted to find Xu Damao to play a movie before the new year.
Xu Damao, who was chatting with a group of people, had been notified by the factory for a day. Today, he was listless and returned home dejectedly. He could not even muster the energy to scold others.
He Yuheng knew that Xu Damao was very energetic, but he still had to save his energy to go to the ghost market to search for treasures in the middle of the night.
At midnight, when everyone else was sleeping soundly, He Yuheng woke up.
Having learned his lesson from last time, He Yuheng brought a flashlight this time. He took a piece of black cloth and put it on before going out.
"Good heavens, seven kilometers! If this was the modern era, it would only take a few minutes to open a shared account!”
However, 7 kilometers was nothing to He Yuheng, whose physical fitness had improved rapidly. Soon, he arrived at Chaoyang Gate. After searching for a long time, he finally found a ghost market in a corner.
"It's almost the new year…"
He Yuheng understood that it was almost the New Year, and everyone wanted to sell more things to exchange for money for the New Year.
Other people were focused on earning money, but He Yuheng was focused on spending money.
He sneaked past the stalls one by one, only looking at the small pieces and not the big ones. He basically looked down on these large devices here because he could tell at a glance that they were either imitations or folk kilns.
In ancient times, the place where porcelain was produced was called kiln. According to the different objects supplied, it was divided into civilian kiln and official kiln. The porcelain produced by the official kiln was specially supplied to the high-ranking officials, nobles, and relatives of the imperial family. The civilian kilns produced porcelain for ordinary people.
Nowadays, there were still very few overseas porcelain because very few people went abroad. Therefore, there was basically no need to look at many large-scale porcelain that looked fancy. The really good ones had already been obtained by others.
"Eh, this thing is quite rare.”
He Yuheng squatted down and looked at the set of three gourds.
