Chapter 186 Going to Huangyuan City(1/2)
Early in the morning, Wang Manyin rode his bicycle and drove straight towards Yuanxi County with a letter of introduction from the village.
The letter of introduction is written very clearly: I would like to introduce Comrade Wang Manyin, a villager in this village, to come to you to contact you about improved wheat varieties... There is a signature and seal below.
Yes, the reason is fair and aboveboard, and it is necessary.
If you don't have this thing, if you are investigated, you may be regarded as a blind drifter.
At almost half past eleven, Wang Manyin had already arrived at the county seat.
The last time I communicated with Hu Yongzhou, he gave me an address.
He did not dare to waste time and went directly to visit. Then he learned that the soy sauce factory project had not been completed yet and Hu Yongzhou was busy leading the contracting team.
Wang Manyin used a box of cigarettes as payment and successfully met Hu Yongzhou.
Seeing his arrival, the other party seemed very enthusiastic: "Man Yin, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you every day...where are you? Didn't you say you would bring the villagers here after the autumn harvest?"
"Brother Hu, I don't know if you want anyone. How dare you bring them directly? How many people do you need here?"
This consignment shop doesn't look big from the outside, but after entering, Wang Manyin discovered that the area is quite large.
"Okay, okay," the chef looked at it for a few times and placed the items that Wang Manyin wanted on the counter with some doubts.
Last time I heard Dong Gang mention that Huangyuan City not only has a flea market, but also a pawn shop. Dong Gang bought the bicycles from these two places.
The conductor looked at a few people and immediately asked: "You are educated youth...do you have proof?"
"Why? We have already inquired, and you can buy tickets with proof from the village."
The days ahead are long, and there will be plenty of time in the future.
Two minutes later, he walked out of the commission shop with several porcelains in his arms. In his coat pocket, he also had two jade handles. On his wrist, there was a watch.
Another example is that a commissioned shop bought a broken clock. When the master opened it for repair, he found a bunch of banknotes hidden inside, and immediately notified the seller to come and claim it.
In a corner, Wang Manyin also saw a lot of hardwood furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Maybe these shapes did not conform to people's aesthetic habits today. They had not been sold for a long time and thick dust had fallen on them.
A commission shop is, to put it bluntly, a former pawn shop, but now it is collectively owned.
After finishing the matter, Wang Manyin declined Hu Yongzhou's noon treat and left the soy sauce factory with his bicycle. He didn't want to go back in a hurry. He had told Lanhua before leaving that he might stay in the city for one night.
Not to mention the original West County, this is the case even in big cities now. It has been reported in later generations that even infrastructure projects such as the Academy of Sciences, the airport, and the electronic tube factory were all completed by underground construction teams.
As a result, Wang Manyin had just taken a few steps forward when he heard urgent shouts from behind him.
An inch long, an inch strong.
The other party took it, looked at it twice, and handed it back again: "Your proof is not enough, it must be issued by the commune."
This is buying antiques. Do you think you are buying radish and cabbage?
"That's right, I'm in a hurry. Take it out quickly so I can pay and leave."
In addition, there were various jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings on the glass counter... He even saw a leopard skin spread out on the wall.
Carrying these things while walking on the street was a bit irritating. Wang Manyin looked around and hurriedly turned into the alley not far away.
Oh no, I’m being targeted?!
In fact, no matter what era, fights, robberies and the like will happen. Of course, rural security is generally better because everyone is familiar with each other.
Perhaps his temperament was quite different from that of the educated youth, so the other party did not continue to ask questions and directly quoted the ticket price.
But if you work as a contractor or manager, you might be sentenced to ten or eight years.
Even so, it surprised the people in the store.
As for running back now to take revenge... Wang Manyin is not so stupid and bold.
Now that I carry so many things when I go out, I clearly tell others that they belong to the fat sheep.
Wang Manyin recalled reading articles about entrusted shops on the Internet, and the few examples he mentioned were impressive.
If you just go out to do illegal work as a side job, even if you are caught, it won't be a big problem. You can just go to a training class for half a month and then be sent back to the village.
The so-called small workers are those who specialize in carrying ash buckets, lifting sand, and mixing lime cement. Anyone can do it as long as they are willing to put in the effort.
Later, the entrusting store found the old man through the information left and made up the difference of fifty yuan.
Although I don’t know whether these examples are true or false, they can also show from one aspect that people trust entrusted stores.
He planned to find a deserted place in Ge Lao and put the things in the space.
As long as the porcelain does not touch the earthen pots, you still have a good life to live, so there is no need to risk your life.
There is a long wooden glass counter at the door, with several clerks in Chinese tunic suits standing inside, and a few customers inside who are selecting products.
The seat inside is a wooden stool, which is a bit uncomfortable to sit on.
It is better to replace it with antiques and treat it as an investment for the future.
"Okay, you can bring people here in the next two days. The wages are the same as others, seventy-five cents a day for small workers, one yuan for large-scale workers, two and a half yuan for carpenters, three meals a day, and food and accommodation are all on the construction site."
Of course, if he is really forced into a corner, he will naturally give it a try.
After talking about employee benefits, Hu Yongzhou brought up old matters again.
After running to a wall and seeing no one around, Wang Manyin quickly entered the space. After putting the things away, he reappeared with a pole on his shoulders.
For Hu Yongzhou, the more manpower the better.
There were several people queuing up to buy tickets at the window. Judging by their accents, they must have been educated youths who jumped in line.
Of course, today’s entrusted stores are all about integrity.
"No, I've been spotted by this guy, hurry up and chase him."
This was also the reason why he left in a hurry.
After a rough inspection, Wang Manyin also came to the glass counter.
After walking a certain distance, Wang Manyin subconsciously turned his head and looked back, and then his heart tightened.
Only on the main streets in the city center can you see scattered two-story buildings.
As for cities now, due to the increase in all kinds of idle people, it is easy for miscellaneous things to happen.
Even if he encounters four people again, he can just pick up the pole and greet them.
"How much?" After a cursory check, Wang Manyin asked the price.
The used bicycles sold there are also very cheap, with a price tag of fifty-five yuan. However, the paint on the body is severely peeled off, and even the chain cover and fender are gone. Of course, if Dong Gang takes it back and repairs it, he can sell it for at least a hundred yuan.
It is not easy to go out, so Wang Manyin plans to take this opportunity to take a bus to Huangyuan City.
"Not that many, our village can produce about twenty or thirty people! If you are sure, I will go back to the village to call for people tomorrow." Wang Manyin replied hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, the other party immediately took out the paper from his pocket.
At the entrance of the alley behind me, I saw two young men approaching slowly, with their hands on the front of their cotton-padded jackets.
"Stop, don't run! Third brother, someone is running past, stop him quickly!"
The other party should have been guarding the door of the entrusted store in advance, and he might have been watched when he entered.
Most of my predecessors were wandering around Yuanxi County, and I had never been to Huangyuan City before. So for Wang Manyin, everything in front of me felt very new.
There are two flights a day from Yuanxi County to Huangyuan City. Wang Manyin is lucky, there will be one in half an hour.
After successfully sitting on the bus, Wang Manyin breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after walking along the road for a while, his mood had completely returned to calm. In fact, there was not much to see in Huangyuan City in this era. There were also low bungalows on both sides, but there were just a few more streets than the original West County town.
In fact, Wang Manyin was attracted by a lot of antique cultural relics. Looking around, the commission shop was full of missing items. But he was afraid of being too conspicuous, so he didn't dare to buy too many at one time.
Mrs. Target, I can't move it alone, so I'd better buy some small things.
However, the opponent's speed was too slow, and Wang Manyin dodged past him.
Wang Manyin did not expect that things would go so smoothly. He believed that many people in the village would sign up for three meals a day.
"This girl is a rabbit, she can run very well!"
If given the chance, Wang Manyin would like to visit those commissioned stores in big cities, as there will definitely be more opportunities.
Wang Manyin glanced around and realized that the commission store was no different from a grocery store. From clothes, shoes and socks to watches, gramophones, bicycles and other daily necessities, you can find them in the commission store.
"Horse rider, stop!!"
He wasn't sure whether the other party was really targeting him, but he didn't take any chances. He immediately took a deep breath and ran towards the distance.
After identifying the target, he acted quickly and swiftly.
"Master, take this, and this... take them out, I want to buy them."
Amid the commotion, a person in charge soon appeared and pulled several educated youth aside to explain.
It mentioned that an old man was selling a camera, and the clerk accepted it for 80 yuan. When he reviewed the price of the product at night, he entrusted a knowledgeable craftsman in the store to find that the price was less, so he re-evaluated the price.
After the item is sold, you pay the store a certain handling fee.
But when things came to a close, Wang Manyin had no time to regret, he just put all his energy into running away.
As soon as he rushed out of a fork in the road, he saw two young people rushing towards him from the side.
