Zhou Wenzhong stood in a 2-meter-wide doorway, with the sole of his right foot on the wall and smoking.
The male waiter poked his head out and looked around, then quickly handed out a small handkerchief and said, "Hey, check it out."
After Zhou Wenzhong took it and opened it, there were four tiger fangs of about 10 centimeters inside. He took them out one by one and smelled them. He held them between his thumb and index finger and looked at the sky. The slightly yellow fangs were lined with stripes.
Gully shape.
"You're not fooling me with bear teeth, are you?"
"I'm in a dead end here, can I run away?"
"Look, I just said that casually, don't be angry."
Zhou Wenzhong put the silk bag in his arms, took out a large box from the space and gave it to the receptionist.
"Just make friends, life will be long in the future."
"Okay, I'm the one copying it now. Thanks!"
"You are angry when you say this, you are busy."
"Okay. If you need these things next time, remember to come to the hotel to find me."
The two of them acted as if they were secret agents. Zhou Wenzhong waved his hand and walked towards the food market entrance in a bounding motion.
Caishikou Department Store was established in 1956. Later, after one change and two reforms, it was completely transformed into a joint-stock company selling gold and jewelry. This is also the origin of the name Caishikou.
During this time period, in addition to selling well-known brand Wang Mazi ironware, Caibai also sells bicycles, radios and other in-demand commodities, as well as food sales and gold and silver jewelry.
Of course, the rule is that we only accept gold and do not sell gold jewelry. But the name is: Gold Shop.
Entering the door is a three-level sunken staircase, which is said to be: three or three are endless, six or six are endless, and the meaning is to attract wealth.
Zhou Wenzhong felt that this was the first time that metaphysical knowledge was used in the new society. Just like the logos of the two hospitals in later generations, they were also full of metaphysics.
After entering the door, you first look for the stairs and go up to the second floor to find the gold store. With a floor height of less than 5 meters and a sunken first floor, this two-story shop facing the street does not make people feel depressed.
Zhou Wenzhong waved to the saleswoman who came towards him, stood in front of the glass counter, and greeted the old master who was working.
"Master, is he busy?"
The old master in his 40s pushed up his glasses. Then he put down the small hammer in his hand and looked up at Zhou Wenzhong.
"Looking for someone else to buy things, I don't have time to serve you."
Zhou Wenzhong took out the letter of introduction issued by the mosque from the space and gently placed it in front of the old master.
"Master, isn't this the end of the year? There will be a great national unity gathering soon, and representatives from all over the country will come to the capital. I am also the task assigned by the organization to send some souvenirs to the representatives who are familiar with me."
The master looked at the letter of introduction and tapped the office column with his fingers.
"As for the front and rear legs, I originally wanted to ask the street office to issue a letter of introduction for folk jewelry, but it was too late. You have been hurt, so I can save myself from having to come back to you again. Although the matter is business-to-business, the money
But you gave it to me in advance and have it all prepared with you. If you can avoid some tedious procedures, let’s handle it specially. Do you think it’s okay?”
"Which ethnic group are you making?"
"You can figure it out. Although it's convenient, you can't do it too much. After all, you represent the craftsmen of our capital. You are the face of our capital."
Zhou Wenzhong took out the handkerchief bag, poured out the tiger teeth inside, and pushed it towards the silversmith.
"Hmm~ How many claws should I make? Do you have any requirements?"
"Four claws or six claws are fine, just make them stronger. I'll pick them up at noon on the 28th of the lunar calendar. Can I make it in time?"
"That's enough. Just pay and issue the invoice."
"Hey. Thank you. I'm sorry to ask you how to calculate the price?"
"8 yuan."
"Okay, thank you. I've put the things here for you."
"Um."
Zhou Wenzhong handed the money to the saleswoman, and the money and bills were held in the iron clip above his head and flew away with a "swish...". He flew back half a minute later.
"Comrade, take your receipt and redeem it upon sight."
"Understood, thank you."
After bidding farewell to Cai Bai, Zhou Wenzhong already felt that his life had reached its peak. He took the bus and returned to the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office. His head turned around and he didn't find Director Wang. He just found a table and sat down, and took out the letter of introduction and the
Household register.
"Comrade, please take a look. This is a letter of introduction from Imam Ma of Daha Temple."
The staff just glanced at it and saw no nonsense. He took out a new household registration book, picked up the pen on the table, dipped it in water, and wrote in the column of Zhou Wenzhong's new household registration and his ethnic group: Hui.
"Click!"
The staff member put the letter of introduction in the drawer and said: "The seal has been stamped, and your organizational relations are still in the street office."
"Okay, thank you."
"Wait a moment! Sit down first."
Zhou Wenzhong just stood up and sat down again.
The staff member looked at the address on the household registration book, then leaned over and took out an oversized record book from the desk cabinet, which was twice as thick as Cihai.
"Swipe, swipe, swipe..."
"Zhou Wenzhong...Zhou Wenzhong...No. 95...found! Are you planning to go to the countryside this year?"
"Um."
"Let me tell you in advance that the place where you are going to the countryside has changed. You won't be able to live in the cave dwelling! Let's go."
Zhou Wenzhong handed him a cigarette, struck a match and lit it.
"Leader, can you ask me a question?"
"speak."
"I can't live in a cave house anymore. Do you think I should drink eight-treasure tea or cans of tea?"
The staff member smiled at Zhou Wenzhong and replied: "It's most likely eight-treasure tea."
"Understood, let's go."
"let's go."
Zhou Wenzhong strolled towards the courtyard and muttered: "Farewell to Shanxi, I'm going to Ningxia again. Hehe..."
"Wen Zhong is back. Where have you been? I haven't seen you all day."
"Oh, Brother Zheng is on vacation?"
"No, I don't have to be at home during the holidays this year. I have to be on duty."
"It seems like Brother Zheng is up to something good?"
"Is it so obvious?"
"I even saw the back molars in your mouth!"
"Stop interrupting my brother, why do you smell so bad?"
"Well, a friend has something to do today. It wouldn't be appropriate not to go. I'm going to eat an expensive meal."
"Tsk, tsk... I said you have changed so much since you started working odd jobs! I used to see you bored, but these days it seems like you have had an enlightenment."
"People always change, and we have to adapt to the times. Brother Zheng, you haven't told me any happy news yet? I will help you when the time comes."
"I don't need your help, my brother will be promoted to section chief soon."
Zhou Wenzhong cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations. Where can we eat then? I think we can just go to Dashilan and set up a table of thirty or fifty, and it can't be too extravagant. When you appoint the workshop director one day, we will go directly to the Great Hall
Set up a table for 200 people."
"Stop it, this matter hasn't been decided yet. So I have to be active in the factory these days. I heard that you are going to the countryside this year?"
"Isn't that right? There's nothing you can do about it and you can't keep it together."
Zheng Liugen shook his head and said with emotion: "Where did you learn these words? Just like the three young people in the old society."
"It all depends on Teacher Yan's education."
"Haha... Come on, I brought you a pack of cigarettes. I won't be going home during the Chinese New Year. If you need help at home, don't hide away."
"cant."
Zhou Wenzhong pushed the pack of official cigarettes over.
"Let's go. If you have anything to do, let Auntie talk. I won't smoke anymore. We brothers can't do more than this."
"Take it!"
Zhou Wenzhong waved his hand, returned home, kicked off his shoes, and lay on his side on the bed, eggs with a hint of chicken feces flickering in his hands.
At around 5 p.m., Zhou Wenzhong was awakened from his sleep by shouts in the yard.
"Zhou Wenzhong! Is Zhou Wenzhong here? Take the stamp (seal), there is your letter!"
"Zhou Wenzhong, take the stamp! Come out quickly! Is there anyone at home?"
"Hmm~"
Zhou Wenzhong's eyes widened, and even his shoes flew away. He broke open the wooden door of the hall and appeared in the yard. This action obviously startled the postman in front of him, and also attracted the attention of the residents.
"Are you Zhou Wenzhong?"
"Well, it's me! If you don't believe it, just ask someone."
"No need to ask, here are some of your registered letters, as well as the registered mail receipts. You can sign or stamp them."
Zhou Wenzhong raised his hand and pulled out the pen from the postman's chest.
"Don't! Don't..."
"This...you really don't have daffodils blooming."
Stuffing a pencil with some straw paper and inserting it into the cap of the pen, Zhou Wenzhong blocked the postman's grasping hand and quickly signed his name on the document.
"Thank you! Hahaha... I have waited for a long time and finally waited until today..."
A burst of laughter made the neighbors even more confused. They closed the door and sat on the bed, patted the sand on their soles twice, opened their mouths and kissed the letters.
