Chapter 9 Living and the Future

 "Stop, try moving again?" Fangyuan weighed the axe.

Seeing Fangyuan's action, the three guys really stood there and didn't dare to move. Although they could run, could they run past the axes and knives thrown out?

Of course not, so the three guys became honest. Not only did they become honest, but they no longer had the arrogance they had before.

Fangyuan walked around behind the three guys and said, "For robbery, take off all your belongings and clothes."

"What..." The guy in the locomotive hat was about to say something, but when he saw the kitchen knife and ax in Fangyuan's hand, he swallowed the rest of the words.

"Didn't you hear what I said? Take off all the things and clothes on your body." Fang Yuan said, while using a kitchen knife to pat the head of the guy behind.

The guy who was photographed by Fangyuan shivered and quickly started to take off his clothes, and soon all he took off was his big underpants.

Although it's not winter yet, it's already very cold here in the Imperial Capital. After taking off his clothes, the guy immediately started to shiver. This time it was not because of fear, but because of the cold.

At first, Fangyuan thought that the clothes she had just made were too new and were made of black fabric. But now they are fine and someone has delivered them to her door.

Also, olive green is a good thing! Especially at this time, walking on the street is a status symbol.

Of course, most of them are fake, but what these three guys are wearing is definitely real.

"And you two, take off your clothes quickly. If you don't take off your clothes, I will help you take them off." When he said this, Fang Yuan tapped the ax with the back of his knife.

Fangyuan was standing behind them, so they didn't see this, but it was enough, because as soon as Fangyuan finished filming, the two guys started to take off their clothes.

In just over a minute, two more guys wearing big underpants appeared. At this time, the three guys were holding their arms and shivering from the cold.

"Okay, you can go."

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the three guys breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, they no longer cared about the cold. They ran away one by one and quickly disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

At this time, Fangyuan went up to pick up the clothes of the three guys and stuffed them directly into the basket, including the locomotive hat, school bag, and water bottle.

Whether it's clothes, a locomotive hat, or even a schoolbag and a water bottle, these are all good things! At least if it hadn't been for this time, Fangyuan wouldn't have been able to get these things.

After putting away the things, Fangyuan quickly left here. The place where the three guys live is probably not very far from here.

Fangyuan was worried that they would bring adults with them, so he had to leave quickly. As long as he left this place, it would be extremely difficult to find him again.

Not to mention this time, even in later generations, it will not be so easy for you to find someone who deliberately hides.

After leaving the alley, Fangyuan hurriedly ran north along Deshengmen South Street.

Ten minutes later, Fangyuan arrived at Deshengmen Nei Street, which was at least more than a kilometer away from South Street. It was impossible to find him at such a long distance.

And Fangyuan had no intention of standing on the street waiting for people to come to him, so after arriving here, Fangyuan quickly found a place to hide.

There was no way, it was still too early to go to get clothes, so he could only hide and wait until he went to get clothes before going out.

There was nothing wrong with hiding here, so Fangyuan took out the steamed cake he had brought and started to eat it. After running so far, Fangyuan was really hungry.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, it was almost time, and Fangyuan came out and then came to the tailor shop.

The tailor shop now is different from that in the morning. There are five or six people in the tailor shop, four men and two women.

It is said that in the tailoring industry, there should be more women, but that is not the case, how can I put it! This is just like the chefs in restaurants are basically all men.

In other words, no matter what you do, men are the real backers, and men are the ones who can achieve the best in various industries.

Fangyuan didn't mean to look down on women, he was just describing a fact.

"You are here, everything is ready for you, you can try it."

Seeing Fangyuan come in, the middle-aged man who had received him in the morning ran out quickly.

"No need to try, just give it to me! How much is the total?"

"Eight pieces of clothing, a total of one dollar and two cents." The middle-aged man said, pointing to the sign hanging inside the tailor shop.

Fangyuan took a look and saw that it said a single coat cost 10 cents a piece and a cotton coat cost 20 cents a piece.

He just happened to make four cotton-padded coats and four single coats. The clothes here are made in pieces, regardless of whether they are sets, and the price for making trousers and tops is the same.

"Here is the money." Fangyuan took out the money, took out two fifty-cent pieces, and took out another two-cent piece.

The middle-aged man took it, clicked it, handed the clothes to Fang Yuan and said, "Just right."

Four sets of clothes were bundled together. Needless to say, these were probably made by middle-aged people just to make it easier for Fangyuan to hold them.

"Thank you!" Fangyuan took the clothes, put them on his back, and walked out of the tailor shop.

Fangyuan didn't stop. He walked out of the tailor shop and rushed outside Deshengmen. He went back at this time and it was almost dark when he arrived at Qinghe.

Fangyuan was originally in a hurry to go back, but not far out of the city, he encountered a large group of people, all of whom looked particularly cautious.

This made Fangyuan confused about what was going on. He rolled his eyes and ran forward. Of course he was not watching the excitement, but ran in the direction of Qinghe.

Of course, he was not planning to go back directly. The reason why he ran so far was to put away the things he brought with him.

Finding a very secluded place, Fangyuan put the things down, and then pulled some grass to cover the things.

If he hadn't known that there was something here, he would never have been discovered. After putting the things away, Fangyuan clapped his hands, turned around and walked back.

Soon Fangyuan arrived at the place where the people were, and quickly understood what was going on.

It turns out that this place is a gathering place for buying and selling. To put it bluntly, it is a unique pigeon market at this time. People sell things they have no use for here.

Of course, if someone is selling, then someone is buying, and there are even many people who are bartering, which makes people look dizzying.

Fangyuan walked around here and basically became familiar with it.

"Comrade, sell me these two kilograms of food stamps! I'll give you two yuan and a half for one kilogram." Just as Fangyuan passed by a stall, a voice sounded next to Fangyuan.

Fangyuan stopped. Of course, he didn't listen to the corner. The reason why he stopped was because he was startled by the conversation just now.

Two kilograms of food stamps cost five yuan, so the average one kilogram of food stamps is two and a half yuan, which is much more expensive than any meat he knows.

Fangyuan didn't know that this year was the most serious year of the three-year difficult period. It was impossible to get food. It was impossible to get food when the ration was eaten.

Unless you have food stamps, no one will sell you food without food stamps. On the black market, which is such a pigeon market, food stamps have long been sold for two yuan a pound.

We can also imagine how lucky Fangyuan was to have obtained so much food. He was even lucky. Otherwise, he would not have been able to survive this winter anyway.

Everyone here in the imperial capital is like this, let alone elsewhere, let alone Fangyuan. What can an eight-year-old child like him do?

To be honest, when I heard that the food stamps were priced at two yuan and a half a pound, Fangyuan had the intention of selling the food stamps in hand, but after thinking about it, I decided not to do it.

Only with food stamps can he be guaranteed to survive. He doesn't want to risk his life for this little money.

There will be many opportunities to make money in the future. The most important thing now is to live well. Only by living can we have a future.

This also made Fangyuan understand why there were so many people queuing in front of the non-staple food store. Yes, non-staple food is also food!

People who have non-staple food stamps in their hands should of course buy non-staple food.

After staying here for only ten minutes, Fangyuan left, becoming more careful at the same time, because if a person is hungry and anxious, he can do anything.

When he arrived at the place where he had put his things before, Fangyuan took them out, carried them on his back one by one, and then walked towards Qinghe.

However, Fangyuan walked very slowly along the way. Originally, he planned to go to Qinghe in the dark, but now, he wanted to go back later.

It was originally a journey of more than two hours, but Fangyuan walked for more than three hours. By the time he returned to Qinghe, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.

In November, the weather is about to enter December, and it will already be dark after 7 o'clock.

At this time, everyone has already rested. There are no entertainment activities at this time, and everyone will go to bed early in order to reduce consumption.

It can be said that it is safe for Fangyuan to come back at this time.

Soon Fangyuan appeared at the vegetable cellar, but he did not go in directly, but walked around before opening the vegetable cellar.

After covering the vegetable cellar from the inside, Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He first took off his things and went over to light the lantern.

There was a lunchbox of boiled water on the stove that had been boiled in the morning, but it was now cold and turned into boiled water. Fangyuan went over to pick it up and drank it. He was thirsty and hungry now.

After carrying so many things and walking more than ten kilometers, it would be a lie to say that I am not thirsty or hungry.

After drinking the water, Fangyuan made some food for herself. It was still steamed cake, but today's steamed cake was better.

Also, is it the same when cooking with a lunch box as with an iron pot? If it is the same, Fangyuan will not buy the pot and continue to use the lunch box.

After eating, Fang Yuan took out the bundle of cloth, cut a piece from it, and then cut it into small pieces.

There were hundreds of small pieces. Next, Fangyuan took out the sewing box she bought today and sewed these small pieces of cloth piece by piece onto the three sets of olive green.
