Chapter 10 Pigeon City

Chapter 10 Pigeon Market

Xu Damao's eloquence in coaxing girls is indeed good. If the system were to rate him, his skills in picking up girls and photographing wives would have to be at least level 2.

Anyway, when I was listening to the opposite party eating and chatting, the words never got off the ground, but they were all filled with laughter and joy.

On the one hand, Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies and needed commentary, so he developed a good eloquence. On the other hand, it can be regarded as a natural ability.

Scumbags also need talent. Xu Damao is the most powerful in the courtyard because of his popularity with women. Lou Xiao'e, Qin Jingru, Yu Haitang, and the unknown Qin Huairu. Xu Damao is basically a ruthless person who has almost achieved a grand slam in stamp collecting.

.

However, these have nothing to do with Du Weiguo. Xiao Du doesn't like these women. Just don't mess with me. If you mess with me, I will kill you, and I will kill you in one go.

As for Lou Xiao'e, a letter of remonstrance was Xiao Du's greatest sincerity, and it was considered the most benevolent and righteous thing to do.

I believe that as long as her family can hear 10% or 20% of the sound, and combined with the change in wind direction, they can make a decision quickly. As for Xu Damao, with the energy of her family, if you check carefully, it is basically clear who he is.

The brief sketches of the decoration are basically finished. There are 6 in total. They are a bit rough, but they are all marked with length, width and height according to approximate proportions. In addition to the layout of the house, it also includes walls, roofs, eaves, beams, windows, doors and even furniture.

, basically accurate to 5 centimeters.

After all, Comrade Xiao Du has drawn reconnaissance maps, and they are all basic operations.

There is even a material diagram listed, including blue bricks, cement, quartz stone, borax, river sand, putty, lime, glass, water pipes, linoleum, wood, boards, paint, etc. The quantity is not specified.

Some are common materials that can be obtained by the masters who do contract work, while some are in short supply and need to be solved by Xiao Du himself.

Tomorrow Xiao Du is going to visit Director Jiang of the Security Department. One is to confirm the reporting time for work, and the other is to ask Director Jiang to help him find a team to repair the house.

Speaking of Jiang Dongfang of the Security Department, he has a deep connection with Xiao Du's family. Jiang Dongfang has always been Comrade Du's superior during the war, from platoon commander, company commander, to battalion commander, and then they went to the Security Department of the Steel Rolling Mill together.

They were both Comrade Lao Du's superiors, and they had a life-long friendship, not just once or twice.

Director Jiang is 47 years old this year. He has a son and two daughters who are in the army and have married, but they are not around.

He has always regarded Du Weiguo as his youngest son in his heart. He is very close to him and even dotes on him, especially after Lao Du left.

No, Comrade Xiao Du has been back from work for more than 10 days, and he hasn't reported to the Security Section yet, and Director Jiang hasn't rushed him yet.

After putting away the sketch of the house he had drawn, Comrade Xiao Du changed his outfit. Later he wanted to follow Lou Xiaoe and find out her home address. The white shirt and small leather shoes were not eye-catching.

He changed into a pair of old military trousers, yellow rubber shoes, and a military shoulder bag that he had returned from the military service. He also specially brought a military hat to hide his handsome face. This outfit is very common on the road.

After packing up, Xu Damao happened to send Lou Xiao'e out. Originally, the grandson licked his face and said he wanted to send Lou Xiao'e home, but he was rejected.

Xu Damao walked all the way out of Guangliang Gate and walked about 50 meters before reluctantly walking home.

At this time, Comrade Xiao Du also happened to stroll over and met him head-on.

"Director Xiao Du, where are you going?"

"Brother Mao, I'm taking a walk after dinner and fixing a plate of mosquito coils. The mosquitoes in our Sijiucheng are so cruel."

"Hahaha, no, four mosquitoes are enough for one dish!"

"Brother Mao, looking at you looking so proud, the blind date went well?"

"It's not bad, this girl is quite satisfied with me."

"Congratulations to Brother Mao, I'm just waiting to drink your wedding wine."

"Haha, I appreciate your good words."

After bidding farewell to Xu Damao, Comrade Xiao Du followed Lou Xiao'e not far or near.

She had separated from Aunt Huang at this time, and was walking alone with her head lowered. She could not tell that she was in a particularly high mood. It was not yet 7 o'clock, and the days were very long in midsummer, so it was still bright.

There is no dramatic plot. Comrade Xiao Du sent Lou Xiao'e home far away. The walking distance from the courtyard is about 15 to 30 minutes. 15 minutes is Xiao Du's speed, and 30 minutes is Lou Xiao'e's speed.

After confirming the house address, it was already getting dark, so Comrade Xiao Du took a leisurely trip to the Pigeon Market in Qianmen.

During this period, it is strictly prohibited for individuals to engage in business operations, and all transactions are regarded as speculation.

But people do have real needs and are forced by life.

Therefore, a special pigeon market has been formed. Everyone gets what they need, and the government just opens its eyes and closes its eyes, leaving a hole in the pigeon market. Normally, the management is not too strict.

Normally, the pigeon market is busiest at 4 or 5 o'clock in the middle of the night. In summer, it can also be busy from 8 to 9 o'clock in the evening, because most yards lock their gates at 9:30.

If you are still running around on the street late at night or visiting the pigeon market, once you are caught, you will basically not recover.

What can I say about the Pigeon Market in Sijiu City? From old shoes and clothes, rice noodles, daily groceries, foreign goods and trophies, to large and small yellow croakers, antiques and antiques, famous calligraphy and paintings, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and the good and the bad are mixed, but it can be regarded as everything.

It’s all-encompassing.

Many of the predecessors who traveled to this era made their fortunes in the pigeon market, buying and selling antiques at carrot prices, or wholesale of grain, meat and eggs.

Comrade Xiao Du can only express envy.

Comrade Xiao Du has neither the ability to identify antiques nor anything to sell, nor the mentality or ability to hunt for treasures. He just wanted to visit the pigeon market and buy two coils of mosquito coils.

Of course, if there were rare things like canned beef, canned pork, and compressed biscuits, Xiao Du would never worry about money. As for rice, white flour, eggs, etc., he wouldn't buy them now.

Because there is no need for it at the moment, there is no need to keep it.

The main reason is that it attracts thieves at home and is eye-catching. Secondly, Xiao Du only has 1 cubic meter of carry-on space. How much can it hold? It makes me cry just talking about it.

It can be said that Pigeon City indeed hides dragons, crouching tigers, and filth. These two completely different temperaments are actually perfectly combined.

With Xiao Du's perspective and knowledge, there are obviously people with guys in this pigeon market selling some scarce supplies, such as canned beef, and even various coupons. These are supplies that have fixed channels, like this

The origins of the characters can be imagined.

In addition, there are snakes, insects, rats, ants, Buddhas, flower-shooters, ajar doors, fortune-tellers, Qianmen, and other low-life people who also hang out in the pigeon market.

Speaking of which, there is not a long street in total, less than 300 meters, plus a few small alleys. Comrade Xiao Du had a total of 12 yuan in his trouser pocket and bought 4 coils of mosquito coils and a mosquito coil stove.

What antiques? I was tempted by the canned beef and bought 2 boxes.

The price is 1.6 yuan per box, and each box only weighs 460 grams. The price is very expensive, but beef is indeed too rare. Xiao Du bought 2 boxes anyway, and did not dare to buy more. It was too eye-catching.

However, for someone like Comrade Xiao Du, who is tall, powerful, and capable, he can be seen as a soldier, and he is not a fat sheep even if he does not spend a lot of money, so these snakes, insects, rats, ants, no one will provoke him, and they can live in harmony with each other.

.

Xiao Du was also happy to calm down, and he had gained a little bit today.

When buying canned beef, the seller noticed at a glance that he was a soldier, and they had a natural liking for each other. They met each other. The seller's surname was Niu. He said that he wanted to buy some canned biscuits or something in the future, so he went directly to Brother Niu and Xiao Du.

Understand what he means.

After more contact in the future, you can buy some canned compressed biscuits and the like for backup, and forget about the rest.

After returning from Pigeon City, Xiao Du changed his route several times to make sure no one was following him, and then he returned to the courtyard with peace of mind.

I was really careless and reckless today. I showed my real face. I will have to dress up again in the future.
