"That's right, the intersection near Xidan North Street was still north, and the archway was west, where there was an old bun shop..."

The next day, Nan Yi came to the Sihe Courtyard deep in the hundred flowers again. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard a person living there for nothing. When he saw that he was an acquaintance he had never seen before. Nan Yi once quoted his famous saying "calcium supplementation".

"The shop is not very good-looking, and you can put two tables on it. The shopkeeper's surname is Feng, a middle-aged man in his forties. He doesn't work much every day. He has a big cage and a tray of thirty buns every afternoon, and he can make about 300 buns every day.

Lao Feng’s filling skills are pretty good. The buns he made are juicy and fat, but the skill of making noodles is a little worse. The buns look less beautiful and the noodles are a bit sour, but they have no taste.

The old neighbors and people working nearby would go around and buy a few buns, and the sky would have a small amount of 100 yuan to pay..."

As soon as Nan Yi heard about "Lao Feng Baozi Shop", he knew what Fu Wei was talking about. He didn't know where he heard about the human bun case in Xidan two years ago. However, Nan Yi heard that the case was covered very strictly and only in a small range of people knew about it.

It’s really because these “scented meat” buns are sold very well. They are hundreds of takeouts a day. After a long time, they are discovered. There are many people who have eaten this piece of Xidan. If it is spread, it will be very disgusting.

Nan Yi still heard what Li Jing said. Li Jing heard from the people of the Xidan Sports Committee. Isn’t this a collaboration between Tota Construction and the Xidan Sports Committee to renovate the Xidan Sports Committee? It’s familiar.

But soon a picture appeared in Nan Yi's mind, "One person said in the ear of another person: 'I'll tell you only one person, don't say it out'. The other person patted his chest and sweared, 'I'll never say it out'."

Gossip starts to disperse from "I don't say it out" to "I only tell someone who I only tell someone."

It seems that it is not worth wondering if Fu Wei knows that as long as there are friends in Xidan, friends, friends of friends, friends of friends, even if they are in the world, this news can be heard.

Nan Yi did not make any noise and quietly walked to Wang Pu, "Liu Zhen and I will get married after a while. The day is not yet settled. Please help me list the addresses of a few acquaintances and send them to the invitation."

"How to prepare for it?" Wang Pu said in a low voice when he heard this.

"Just like in the past, a bicycle squadron came out to go to the Liu family to snatch the marriage. Let's help me distribute the news first, and see how many people can be gathered. Be more at ease, I'm getting married, not really checking the fight, don't attract anyone who has a bad temper."

"Don't worry, my buddy has a clear idea." Wang Pu patted his chest and said.

"So that's it. I'll leave first. I have to go to Langfang Erzhao and the Jewelry Market Street to buy some goldware."

"become."

He nodded to the newcomer Fu Wei and gave him an encouraging look. Nan Yi and several other acquaintances said, and left the Siheyuan.

On the way, the police uncle who earned the money he picked up on the job nodded to him, and Nan Yi happily came to Erzhao, the Langfang.

In the past two years, prices rose a little, which also made the gold market a little active.

There was a small wave of goldware purchases in 1982. Many people in later generations bought old-fashioned gold rings and gold earrings that were under the box were probably bought in the past two years of 82 and 888.

In 1982, the price of goods survived a small disaster; in 1988, the nine heavenly thunder tribulation, after breaking through this disaster, the price of goods travels with heaven and earth, and no one can control it anymore.

From then on, all prices lived a happy life of eating, sleeping and harvesting food.

The society of prices is inverted pyramid structure. The strongman has a pale face, blue veins, and his legs are trembling. He easily raises the housing prices, medicines and education fees steadily, and shouts domineeringly: "Who else?"

Speaking of the Republic of China, prices were unstable and the currencies in various regions were not universal. Those who were doing this would buy travel expenses into two gold rings. If they were on a business trip in the capital, they would go to the two corridors as soon as they arrived in the capital. They would sell one first to serve as meals and accommodation expenses.

Then when the matter is done and you have to go back, you will sell the remaining one and buy the return ticket.

Doing this can prevent currency from depreciating, and you don’t have to worry about the problem of currency not circulation, which is in line with the saying - antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times.

In the war-torn era, gold had a great effect, and gold shops were everywhere at that time.

Langfang Toutiao is mainly gold shops, with dozens of more famous ones including Tianbao Gold Store, Wuhua Gold Store, Sanyang Gold Store, etc.; Langfang Ertiao has many jewelry stores, including Rongxingzhai, Sanshengxing, Hengshengxing, Fushengzhai, etc., which are basically front stores and back factories, and can produce them themselves.

While selling gold and jewelry, the gold shop also purchases old gold jewelry and sand gold, nuggets and other raw materials purchased from the gold mines, and then melts and purifies them in the oven at the back to form gold bars or gold ingots;

The name and quality of a certain gold store are made into authentic products, and the price is much higher than the raw gold nuggets. Especially the gold bars cast by the big gold store have higher reputation in the market.

At that time, there was a gold market here at Langfang Erzhao. Many gold shops were engaged in gold speculation. Every day, the market opened at 3:00 p.m., and more than a hundred people gathered together to discuss business and current affairs. The gold price rose and fell.

An important factor in price increases is "war", so some smart people will make fake news in the newspaper. The newspaper boy came over with the newspaper and shouted, "Read the evening newspaper, there is a war in a certain place." As soon as the fake news came out, the gold price rose immediately, and the people behind the scenes were just enough to ship the goods, making a profit.

However, that was the case in the Republic of China. After the public-private partnership, most of the stores here were converted into residential houses. In the past two years, many clothing stores and catering stores have been opened one after another, which has restored a little bit of the previous liveliness.

Nanyi turned left and right, turned to a two-story building, walked through the snack bar on the first floor, and walked straight to the second floor.

Upstairs, a master is gathering in front of a crucible to make money.

This master's surname is Jin. He was the master of Jin from Rongxingzhai in the past. He was skilled in the art. He started to set up a stall here two years ago and his fame soon spread. Many people would come here to make jewelry.

Nowadays, when a newlyweds get married, in addition to large and small legs, they will also have some gold jewelry. However, in addition to chains, they are usually used to hold the bottom of the box and beside the money; the chain is hidden in clothes, not showing off, and the rings and earrings are too silly, so women will take them out from time to time in front of the desk or dressing table at home.

Anyway, I will see women wearing earrings on the street outside. Others usually have nothing to say, and their words will turn to the Bada Hutong.

"Wait a little later, I'll be done."

"It's okay, Master Jin, you're busy with yours." Nan Yi said, then took two steps back, maintaining a safe distance, and looking at the softening gold inside the crucible.

When Master Jin poured Jinshui into a model and turned into a long strip, he freed up his hand.

"Young man, are you making money?"

"Look at what Master Jin said, if I don't come to get Jin, I'll come to become a disciple?"

"That's not good. There are so many people who want to be my apprentice." Master Jin picked up the big teapot on the table and took a sip. He spit out a mouthful of foam, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve, "What do you want to hit?"

"Two chains, just be thinner, add two gold medals, one is engraved with a tiger on the front, you have to be domineering, and a few words on the back - loyalty; the other is engraved with a paper tiger on the front, and the back is engraved with 'Life and death is not easy'."

Puff, Master Jin had just taken a sip of tea and choked a few times.

When he got angry, he said, "Young man, I know how to do a tigress. How to fix this paper tiger? Do you teach me?"

"Master Jin, have you seen the cartoon?"

"When my little grandson looked at it, I took a few glances."

"That's fine. You can just follow the kind of silly things in the cartoon anyway. There should be a strong contrast. The tigress is mighty and the paper tiger is wilted."

"I'm sure I'm not kidding?"

"Sure."

"So, how much gold has you prepared?"

Nan Yi took out a golden ball from his pocket and put it on the table, "This ball is just this one."

Master Jin has been fighting gold for decades and has a deep understanding of the weight of gold. He glanced at the golden ball and could estimate the approximate weight. "Young man, I really want to do it. There are two liang here [market liang, 31.25 grams one liang]."

"Master Jin has good eyesight, exactly 62 grams."

Master Jin picked up a notebook on the table and threw it to Nan Yi, "You draw a rough example for me, I can estimate the wages."

Nan Yi drew a rough look on the paper, just a contour. He couldn't draw, and the straight lines were still very effective.

"Master Jin, just like this, you can use your free words, and you can use imitation Song directly."

Master Jin glanced at the notebook and said, "Do you pay for the fire? If you spend two grams of fire, you pay for forty yuan."

"The weight is not enough, the one for women is 32.5 grams and the one for men is 29.5 grams."

"Young man, it's from 1962? The tiger weighs 62 grams, and makes the woman's three-pointer. It's good, good, when will it take?"

"Is it three days?"

"Yes, you will get it in three days and I will open a list for you."

Master Jin checked the quality of the golden ball first and confirmed that there was no problem before he gave Nan Yi a list.

Nan Yi took the order and left without paying a deposit.

There are dozens of grams of gold pressed on others, so what deposit should I pay? They are hoping that you won’t go and get it.

Nan Yi did not think about going to the gold counter in the department store to buy gold rings, gold earrings, etc. Liu Zhen's paper ring was pretty good. As for gold earrings, he didn't like women wearing earrings, and he only admired earrings.

When he buys the tools and makes earrings for Liu Zhen himself, he will appear more sincere.

After leaving Langfang Ertiao, Nanyi rushed to Dongfeng Market [Dong'an], Wangfujing Department Store, including red paper, red candles, new candlesticks, thermos, and tear cloth. I bought all the things related to marriage.

One day, I went by while shopping.

In this way, Nan Yi always felt that there was still a lot of things missing and he had to come again tomorrow. Fortunately, Sophie Marso had fun in Xiangshou and was about to play for two more days before flying over.

When Liu Zhen came back from get off work, he saw the room full of things and said angrily: "The days are not yet settled. Why buy these things so early?"

"What a few days earlier or a few days later, I must be before you show your embarrassment." Nan Yi said, shaking the cut word "Damn" and "How is it? It's horizontal and vertical, beautiful?"

"Ha, you'd better stop cutting it. You don't do this kind of thing. Just ask two people to help you."

"No, I plan to do whatever I can do by myself, but I just have a little skill. Otherwise, I will do all our new clothes by myself."

"Stop bragging, you can still make clothes?"

"I underestimate people, I can also make yarn."

When making wool, Nan Yi brags and makes clothes, he really knows how to make clothes.

In his previous life, he had been in foreign trade business and spent two years mainly making shirts. He often went to Dachen and Suxi, and spent a long time in the shirt factory. He had been doing all the processes of shirt making.

Although his skills are not very good, he can turn the fabric into clothes. He doesn't have any problems. Whether it looks good or not or not, he doesn't care about these details.

Liu Zhen took out the fabric that Nan Yi pulled back from one side and looked at pieces after another. He didn't see anyone suitable for wedding clothes. He only saw something suitable for curtains, tablecloths, etc.

"Where is the fabric for making clothes?"

"I didn't buy it. I'll go out with two military uniforms tomorrow, so we'll wear green military uniforms."

"I'm still wearing military uniforms, and wedding photos are now becoming popular."

"Wedding photos are easy. When you have a baby, we will take photos again. We will prepare all wedding dresses and phoenix crowns for you. After a while, I will place an order for you to order a twelve dragons and nine phoenix crowns;

The shipei must be dark blue, with two embroidered colorful cloud dragons, with gold-inlaid jade pendants hanging on the front, and dragon patterns.
