After taking a bath for a while, he sneaked out through the back door and came to the black market.

There is a black market in the county in the county, and there is a black market in the city in the city. There is demand in the market, and the black market naturally emerges as the times require.

He kept nearly [-] catties of apples in the space, and sold all the rest. There was also some meat in stock, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, etc. saved in the previous life, all of which were inconspicuously unpacked and sold.

With nearly a hundred dollars in hand, I put it away and hurried back to the bathhouse, and came out through the front door.

Tang Mengnan happened to be asking at the service desk, saw Tang Jihai, looked at him blushing, and said, "It's been so long, I'm not afraid of getting dizzy."

Tang Jihai stretched out his hands and moved his hands and feet, and said with a smile: "Driving all the way, my body is almost smelly, and the bubbles can wash it clean and relieve fatigue."

The sun was high and the sun was shining vertically. He rubbed his hungry stomach, "Go, go to the state-run restaurant and taste the handicrafts of your provincial capital."

The state-run restaurant in the provincial capital is much larger than the one in the county, and it is also much cleaner and tidy. Thirty tables are neatly arranged, with indigo tablecloths on the tabletops, a small round bucket in the middle of the table, and a handful of chopsticks inside.

On the table next to the wall, there are white teapots, tea mugs and big red thermos bottles. Behind the table is a clean white wall with several red lacquered characters written on it: I love the five-star red flag.

The font is large and red, which is particularly conspicuous on the snow-white wall.

The waiter in the provincial capital was even more sharp-eyed. When he saw two people entering the door, one was wearing ordinary clothes with patches under his armpits, and the other was wearing clean and brand-new clothes. The waiter went straight to Tang Mengnan.

With a notebook and a pencil in hand, he was ready to record the name of the dish at any time, "Comrade, what do you want to eat?" the waiter asked Tang Mengnan directly.

Tang Mengnan took the menu and handed it to Tang Jihai, "You order, the host treats you."

Tang Jihai said that he didn't understand the twists and turns. People said that a treat must be a treat. He took the menu, "One braised pork, one crystal elbow, one lion's head, another eggplant and potato stew, and six steamed buns."

Tang Mengnan was stunned. The bureau chief really found him a good job, and he was paid five yuan for the meal. I don't know if the bureau will reimburse him.

The waiter had seen big scenes before, so he wasn't too shocked, but couldn't help but sympathize with the one who said that his host was treating guests.

The host said it was a treat, but he must have never expected that this person could order so many meat dishes, and they were all expensive meat dishes.

The waiter couldn't help but turned his head to look at Tang Jihai again. He looked very talented, but he didn't expect to be so unreliable, and he didn't understand the world.

"What's the matter? If I didn't write it down, I'll report the name of the dish again." Tang Jihai saw that the waiter was standing next to him like a wooden stake, and he didn't have any troubles in his heart. He thoughtfully wanted to report the name of the dish again.

"Braised pork, crystal elbow, lion's head, stewed potatoes and eggplants, plus six steamed buns, right?" Whoever pays has the final say, the waiter confirmed to Tang Mengnan.

Tang Mengnan: "..." Can he say you don't order so much, I don't have enough money?

He cleared his throat and said: "Cough, cough, that's all." His face was calm, but his heart was so painful that he vomited blood.

The two sat by the window, the sunlight came in through the glass, and the fine dust danced in the light.Tang Jihai stretched his hand into the light, and the voices of other people in the hall seemed to be isolated, lively and quiet.

After a while, the dishes came up, and the braised pork was bright in color, ruddy, trembling when sandwiched, and the meat was smooth and tender, slightly sweet and full-bodied.

The other dishes were so delicious that they wanted to bite off their tongues. Tang Jihai ate quickly and deliciously, and the last three steamed buns were eaten.

While eating without looking up, a familiar yet unfamiliar person suddenly appeared in the sidelight.

Tang Jihai stopped pinching the chopsticks for a moment, and then swallowed his last mouthful of food as if nothing had happened, "Comrade Meng Nan, let me go to make it easier, shall I go?"

Tang Mengnan thought for a while, and still said that he would not go. Although it was called an escort, it was actually a surveillance, but he was not an enemy after all, so there was no need to go too far.

Tang Jihai wiped his mouth with a sip of water, asked where the toilet was, and went straight out to chase the man just now.

A few people who just passed were smoking in the alley, and the one standing there said something, and the companion burst out laughing.

Tang Jihai pulled out a thick checkered scarf from the space, and wrapped it around his neck several times, covering everything below the eyes.

Without further ado, he went up and kicked the standing one over, and rode on him and punched him to the flesh.

When the others came to their senses, they shouted and stepped forward. Tang Jihai swung his arm, and the people who pulled him backed up several steps in an instant.

The few people didn't expect that the force of the beating was so great that they threw away the three of them.

A few people were furious, cursing and cursing: "Fuck you, you're courting death."

Tang Jihai didn't care what the others were doing, he just hit the ground.

Of course he was beaten because he had bullied Yuan Shen.

Originally, he was also a playboy. His parents were both workers. The two older sisters were already married. The second sister was also planning to enter the factory.

As the only boy in the family, he is loved by his grandparents and father. Although his mother treats him worse than his two older sisters, he only thinks that his mother is not a patriarchal person.

There is no shortage of pocket money in hand, and the family wants the stars but not the moon. The original pet is 16 years old and does not go to school or work.

Fortunately, he was just a fool, and he never did anything outrageous, but when that incident was exposed, all the cognitions in the past 16 years were shattered in an instant, and the original body was in a trance, and people who didn't like him before fell into trouble one after another.

Seeing that the victim is gone, the fox friends tear their faces and humiliate the original body.

The one on the ground who was beaten by him was the one who took advantage of the most before the incident and bullied Yuan the hardest after the incident.

When Xu Qiang was beaten, he was furious at first, thinking that some gangster would come to find him uncomfortable, and relying on his younger brother, he could scold him as badly as he wanted.Seeing the younger brother later, he couldn't greet him, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he had no power to fight back, so he could only cry bitterly and beg for mercy.

After the beating was over, Tang Jihai also let out the breath he had held up because of the grievance in his memory, stood up and shook his aching hand, and turned his eyes to the three stunned younger brothers.

Tang Jihai's eyes were dark and cold, as if he wanted to freeze people in place.

"Big brother, big brother, we don't know Taishan with our eyes, please show your hands high." The younger brothers were trembling, Xu Qiang was beaten and remained motionless, seeing how much air was emitted and how little was breathed in, completely frightened them.

They usually don't do good things, but they would never dare to beat people to death.

As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of shoes, but those who are stunned are afraid of hard ones, and those who are hard are afraid of death.

These people are not good birds either, Tang Jihai repaired them one by one.

"Let me see you guys bullying men and women again, not doing your job properly, and hitting once when I see you."

After finishing his harsh words and tidying up his clothes, Tang Jihai hurried back to the state-run hotel. The whole process took less than 10 minutes.

Tang Mengnan of the state-run restaurant ordered two more steamed buns and ate the vegetable soup cleanly.

It was a lot of fun to pay in the end.

"I'll go back to the guest house and take a nap. If you have something to do, do it first." Tang Jihai didn't want to move at the moment, he just wanted to take a slow nap.

"No, you sleep and I will accompany you."

Tang Jihai: "..." Sleep with you?

Tang Mengnan did his duty. Although he had just arrived at the bureau, he didn't know why he looked at Tang Jihai, but he knew that something must have happened.

Besides, Tang Jihai's skills are comparable to his, and he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Tang Jihai followed people wherever he went. Usually he couldn't go to the black market, so he shopped wherever he could.

This day, when I went to the waste station, Tang Mengnan was really puzzled. In the past two days, he accompanied him to supply and marketing agencies, department stores, and state-run restaurants. The waste station has nothing to do with these places. "Why did you come to the waste station?"

Tang Jihai knew that he was confused, so he said casually, "Just take a look. I have a friend who likes to read comic books. If you have one, bring him back."

The waste station is not big, and there is a mess of everything inside. It takes a long time to pick and choose a few comic books and high school textbooks.

The high school textbooks were on the bottom, and the puppet books were on top, stacked into a bundle. Tang Jihai, who was squatting on the ground, stood up and was just about to pay the bill with the books when he suddenly saw a pile of porcelain in the corner.

"Comrade, how do you sell these porcelains?"

A young guy who works at the waste station has dark skin, but he is quite energetic. When Tang Jihai asked about the pile of broken bowls that no one wanted, he introduced enthusiastically, "You can pay for all of these." The price is naturally a bit high. Of the pile of clean debris, only one bowl is still intact, which is really not worth the price.

"Okay, then I want all of these." After Tang Jihai finished speaking, he took out a floral cloth from his pocket and spread it on the ground, picked up the pieces one by one, wiped them clean and put them on the floral cloth.

Seeing Tang Jihai treat these pieces with such care, the black-faced comrade couldn't help reminding: "Many people have come to buy and change them before, but no one wants this pile of things."

Now that the policy is a little looser, many people come to the junkyard to look for good antiques, but the people in their junkyard are not fools, and with the addition of a few people looking for things from time to time, there are really no good things in this junkyard.

No one wanted this pile of debris, and he sold it to someone for a dollar, which made him feel guilty when he thought about it.

Tang Jihai was overjoyed. The fragment and the bowl belonged to the late Qing Dynasty. The year is relatively short, but they are still serious antiques.

In the end, the black-faced comrade was really embarrassed. Seeing that Tang Jihai liked books, he took out the table corner and the books he planned to pack back to catch fire, "Comrade, see if you want these books."

Tang Jihai saw that there were several junior high school textbooks, "Little comrade, I want all these, thank you."

Tang Mengnan also saw those brand new junior high school textbooks, and joked, "Your educated youth friends love to study."

"Comrade, I want any more books in the future. This is a deposit." Tang Jihai took out 20 yuan and put it on the table. "This is the address. If you have it, send it to me." Then he took out another 20 yuan.

"This, this is not good." The black-faced comrade looked at the five yuan on the table and couldn't move his eyes.

His monthly salary at the waste station is only ten yuan, and he can earn five yuan for such a simple job as collecting books and sending them away?

Did the pie fall from the sky?

Of course it's not a loss of pie. Tang Jihai made this decision based on the actions of the black-faced comrade just now. If he can fulfill the agreement, one party will get the book and the other party will get the money, and both parties will not lose.Even if the black-faced comrade ignorantly gave the money, he would treat it as the cost of buying porcelain, and no matter how you look at it, he would not lose money.

Tsk, he, Tang Jihai, is not one to suffer.

After packing up a lot of things and leaving, the black-faced comrades secretly decided to go out and look for books if they had nothing to do, watching their backs!

After coming out, Tang Mengnan looked at Tang Jihai thoughtfully, "Why do you want so many books? Your educated youth friends also like junior high school textbooks besides comic books?"

Tang Jihai smiled, "It's never wrong to maintain a learning attitude."

Tang Mengnan smiled, but didn't ask a word about the porcelain that he just received.

From this day on, Tang Jihai went around all the waste stations in the provincial capital, and he collected quite a lot of books and other things.
