The next afternoon.
Li Jianguo found a child to bring a letter to Chen Jianbin, asking him to go outside the courtyard house to talk. This was also what Chen Jianbin had instructed Li Jianbin to not appear in the courtyard house. After all, what Li Jianguo did was not a good thing in this era.
Chen Jianbin followed the address Li Jianguo gave him and found him in a small forest not far from the Siheyuan.
Li Jianguo didn't have a place to stay yet. The system had only arranged for him to be a driver of a tricycle. The most important thing about this identity was his freedom. He could go to many places.
When they arrived at the forest, Li Jianguo was already sitting on a tricycle waiting for Chen Jianbin.
Li Jianguo told Chen Jianbin about the situation of selling pork in the black market at night.
The pork was sold at 70 cents for those with tickets and 1.2 cents for those without tickets. Most people didn't use tickets to buy it, but the 260 catties of pork were sold out every night.
Li Jianguo came to find Chen Jianbin mainly because someone had their eyes on him, so he came to ask Chen Jianbin for his opinion.
After hearing this, Chen Jianbin thought for a while and told Li Jianguo not to go to Pigeon City for the time being. He wanted to understand what was targeting him first. Now that he had nearly 6,000 yuan, he did not need to take the risk to go to Pigeon City for the time being.
Chen Carson planned to let him go to the countryside to collect things first.
It was December, and the capital was already covered in snow. The entire city was covered in snow.
Chen Jianbin walked around the street.
The Dazhalan of Qianmen Street was the most prosperous commercial area in the city, with a large number of shops gathered there.
The old shops alone included the famous Ruifuxiang Silk Shop, Tongrentang Pharmacy, and the Four Treasures of the Study in Rong Bao Zhai.
"Look at things on the bridge, buy things at Dazhalan.”
"Ma Juyuan is on top of your head, your feet are on the inner rise, you are wearing eight auspicious signs, and your waist is wrapped with four eternal signs.”
These two lines were passed down from the old Beiping era, describing the commercial status and prosperity of Dazhalan.
In a long and narrow alley, low walls were built with green bricks on both sides. The gray walls were pasted with posters that were rich in historical characteristics.
Near evening, Chen Jianbin saw a brightly lit tavern with the signboard "Big Front Gate Tavern". There was intermittent noise and arguments coming from inside.
Chen Jianbin walked over step by step while holding the heater in his hands.
When he reached the entrance of the tavern and heard the lively noise inside, he smiled knowingly. After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward and pushed the door open.
Hu ~
The warm wind blew over, warming his cold body.
The tavern wasn't big and could only fit six tables. There were four or five regular customers inside, sipping wine and talking about peanuts. They talked about interesting stories in the city and current political events.
Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs were all topics of conversation after they had eaten their fill.
Carson glanced around the tavern, and familiar and unfamiliar people appeared in front of him.
On the table, there were Lord Niu and Lord Pianer chatting merrily. Xu Huizhen was busy with her child at the counter. Fan Jinyou was fiddling with an abacus at the side. Chen Xueru was alone at the table by the wall. Qiang Zi and Cai Wuyou were squatting in the corner.
They were all characters from " Little Women at Zhengyang Gate."
"Yo, this little brother came to the tavern to drink?”
The film grandpa held his hands to keep warm. When he saw Chen Jianbin come in, he laughed and teased him.
"Uncle, it's too cold outside.”Chen Jian Bin's body trembled as he looked at the man in front of him who looked 60% similar to Third Master Yan Bugui.
"Yo, young man! You really know how to choose a place!"
When the film grandpa heard that, he became interested.
"You're not going home to eat at this time. Why are you out on the streets?”
"Haha ~"
Beside him, Lord Bull listened to the man teasing Chen Carson and laughed out loud with his drunken eyes.
"Come, young man, come over here and sit down for a while.”
After greeting Master Bull, Chen Jianbin walked to his side and sat down to listen to their conversation.
Shaking his head, he sized up everyone in the tavern.
When he entered the tavern, he did not expect to encounter another plot.
Thinking of his previous life, he couldn't help but sigh. His face was filled with helplessness. To be able to encounter something like transmigration.
Logically speaking, it should be an extremely lucky thing, but he was not happy at all.
This was because he had transmigrated in the 1950s.
Moreover, he had transmigrated to the plot of " Love Filled the Courtyard ". From the looks of it, it was not just the plot of the courtyard. There should be other plots, but he had not encountered them.
In this era, if you were a dragon, you had to coil up. If you were a tiger, you had to lie down.
If you dare to stir up trouble, I'll make you eat a bullet in a minute.
This was also the reason why Chen Jianbin had handed over all the matters in Pigeon City to Li Jianguo. In the future, if there was anything, he could just let him hide in the farm space. He would not do those things himself.
"Master Bull, please help me with what I told you just now. My house really can't run anymore. Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought of renting out the backyard.”
Chen Jian Bin was still thinking about things when the film grandpa suddenly mentioned renting a house to Elder Niu." In this alley, you know a lot of rich people. See who wants to rent a house and introduce them to me."”
What he did was to pull foreign films.
The so-called foreign film was to put many photos in a black box. People looked at the pictures in the curtain. The person who made the foreign film changed the pictures while singing a song, and the whole story was played out.
The adults didn't like it, only the children did.
But now that it was a world of ice and snow, the children were afraid of the cold and went out less often.
His business suddenly went down and he could no longer support his family.
He had no choice but to rent out the empty room in his house for some living expenses.
Renting a house?
When Chen Jianbin heard this, he was a little surprised. He remembered that the film grandpa wanted to sell the house. Why did it become renting a house?
Then, she remembered that it was only a year after the TV series started in 1956. Xu Huizhen's daughter seemed to be almost a year old.
At the thought of this, Chen Kabin did not feel too conflicted. Just because he did not sell it now did not mean that he would not sell it in the future. If he remembered correctly, there were still some antiques in his house. They were all good things. They were even more expensive than his ancestors.
Grandpa Pianer's house was a three-way courtyard house. The courtyard to be rented was the backyard. He could rent it to Li Jianguo first. Li Jianguo did not have a place to live yet.
Carson didn't say anything and listened to them quietly.
"Master Pian-er, I don't want to lie to you. I know a lot of people, but most of them have their own houses.”
"You'll have to find someone from outside the capital to make a living to rent it." Lord Bull sighed.”
"What should we do?"
A hint of worry appeared on the film man's wrinkled face. The life of his family depended on the money he earned from selling foreign films. He could not survive this winter.
"Uncle, what's wrong? You want to rent a house?"
"How about I help you find someone to rent it?" Chen Jianbin smiled.”
"You?"
The film grandpa looked at Chen Jianbin in shock." You brat, why are you renting a house?”
" Who said I want to rent it? I'm the one who helped you find someone to rent it." Chen Jianbin smiled and continued,""He's from my cousin's hometown. Half a year ago, my cousin came from the countryside to take over my mother's post and now lives with me. Later, his fellow countrymen from his hometown also came to Beijing to find a job pulling goods.”
" Brother, don't say that I didn't warn you. The rent for my small courtyard isn't cheap. It has to be this amount…"
The young man pulled his hand out of his sleeve and made a cross.
"Isn't it just ten yuan a month? If there's nothing, I can agree on behalf of my cousin's hometown.”
