Chapter 345 The Stubborn Master
Chapter 345 The Stubborn Master
Before leaving, Lu Cheng had already put the family's savings of less than 100 yuan and various bills into the storage space.
After leaving the yard, he went straight to a nearby breakfast stall and ate three large fried dough sticks at 3 cents each. He also bought some large sesame cakes at cents each. When he passed by an alley on the way, he put them into the storage space.
Of course, when buying sesame cakes and fried dough sticks, you not only have to pay money, but also food coupons.
Afterwards, Lu Cheng strolled around the morning market and came to a department store. He went in and looked around, but didn't find anything he wanted to buy.
In that era, you needed tickets to buy basically everything. Grain had grain tickets, meat had meat tickets, vegetables had vegetable tickets, cloth had cloth tickets, and you also needed a food coupon for candy, melon seeds, etc. It was difficult to buy things even if you had money.
Of course, there are some places where you don't need a ticket, such as trust stores, black markets, etc.
The black market is generally a free trade market with random goods. Anything is possible, and sometimes even guns can be bought.
Trust stores are similar to ancient pawnshops, specializing in purchasing, selling and consigning all kinds of second-hand goods, including bicycles, radios, sewing machines, watches, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. The prices are not much cheaper, but you can buy them without a ticket.
Moreover, if you want to sell some more expensive goods to a trust store, you must take out your household registration booklet and register it to prevent the sale of stolen goods.
In "Ordinary World", when Lu Cheng came to Yanjing, it was seven or eight years later. Now it is still six or eight years, and the situation is also different.
In this era, if you want to survive well, you must first learn to be cautious and adapt to the current environment.
Although the savings and bills Lu Cheng had were enough to live on for a while, he couldn't just live off his savings and still had to accumulate some money and supplies.
If nothing unexpected happens, it won’t be long before Li Kuiyong and his group of young people go to the countryside.
As for Lu Cheng, since both his parents had passed away and he was the only one left in the family, he had more choices. He could try to find a job, sign up for the army, or volunteer to go to the countryside.
If we go to the rural areas of northern Shaanxi, the conditions will be even more difficult, and it will be more difficult to get money and supplies.
In the original drama, when Zhong Yuemin and others went to northern Shaanxi to work as sent-down youths, they often did not have enough to eat. Finally, they ran out of food and had to go to the county town to beg for food.
Of course, with Lu Cheng's current abilities, plus the things in his cross-border backpack, he would definitely not starve to death even if he was thrown into the deep mountains and forests.
However, in order to live a better life, Lu Cheng will never treat himself badly.
Unconsciously, he walked to the edge of a small river. Looking at the clear river water below, Lu Cheng suddenly became interested and turned on the war assistance system that he had not used for a long time.
Back in the world of "My Captain, My Regiment", Lu Cheng relied on the thermal sensing radar, gun warning and other functions of the war auxiliary system to lead his soldiers to detect the enemy in advance, avoid most dangers, and achieve victory at the lowest cost.
Later, after the war, there were still some war points that had not been used up, and Lu Cheng exchanged them for an underwater sonar life detection module, which can be used to detect underwater contours and life forms, etc. It can be used for war assistance, underwater detection, or to assist in fishing.
However, there were not many system points left at the time, so the detection function module was not upgraded and the detection range was only a hundred meters.
However, such functions are more than enough for fishing.
After the function was turned on, the situation under the river was displayed clearly in front of Lu Cheng, which was equivalent to opening an underwater X-ray eye.
Soon, Lu Cheng saw some small schools of fish moving around underwater, the bumpy river channel, and some messy debris and garbage.
It seems that this function can not only be used for fishing, but also for treasure hunting.
Just when Lu Cheng was considering whether to buy two casting nets to make it easier to catch fish, he suddenly heard the sound of a bicycle bell in the distance.
Soon, two young girls were seen running hurriedly in front on bicycles, followed by six or seven young men on bicycles, who were whistling while chasing the girls in front.
Such scenes are not uncommon in today's old city.
Due to school suspensions, many unemployed middle and high school students have nothing to do all day long. They wander around the streets, fight, and molest girls.
These young people who hang out together usually call themselves gang leaders and have their own set of rules, such as: 1. They like to schedule fights at fixed times and locations, and they will schedule fights in advance whether they will fight alone or in a group. 2. They cannot report to the police if they are beaten. 3. They cannot fight at home, and must leave immediately if parents scold them. 4. They cannot retaliate against their family members. 5. They cannot fight again after their opponent admits defeat, etc.
If you break these rules, you will be looked down upon by other troublemakers.
Among these stubborn people, those who grew up in big courtyards liked to call themselves veterans, gather together and look down on those who grew up as workers and common people.
Of course, whether they are children of common people or children of wealthy families, they all have a common hobby, which is "picking up girls".
In this era, people are still quite taboo about the topic of sex, and people are generally embarrassed to make their love affairs public.
But these gangsters are a group of fearless people who dare to date openly, take pictures of old women in the street, and flirt with young girls.
In fact, there are some girls who like to have more fun and like to hang out with those naughty guys. Some girls even dare to chase boys in the street.
For those girls who are more romantic and have fun, they are also called circles. Having sex with them is also called smashing the circle.
Lu Cheng had lived in Yanjing City for a long time. Although he had not personally experienced Yanjing of this era, he had heard about it from many elders, so he was not unfamiliar with it.
At this moment, one of the guys chasing the two girls suddenly sped up, quickly overtook the two girls, then slammed on the brakes, blocking the car sideways in the middle of the road.
Seeing this, the two girls also hurriedly braked. One of the girls failed to stop the car in her panic and fell to the ground. The other girl hurried to help her.
Fortunately, it was winter and both girls were wearing cotton jackets and trousers, so they didn't get hurt when they fell, they were just covered in dirt.
The young man standing in front laughed: "My two classmates, why are you running so fast? We are not going to eat you. Look, you have fallen down now, right? Do you want me to take a look?"
"We don't want your help, get out of the way, or we'll go back and call the police."
"Brother, you're so scared. Are you trying to scare us with this? We are good citizens. We didn't do anything. We didn't even touch you. You fell down by yourself."
"You! Rogue!"
"Classmate, you are being unreasonable. Since you say that I am a hooligan, I will show you how I can be a hooligan today..."
Lu Cheng, who was standing by the river, couldn't stand seeing this group of hooligans being so vulgar, so he immediately stood up and said, "I say, you guys, do you have any manners? You didn't stop the girl in broad daylight, and you even resorted to violence?"
When the gangsters saw that someone had come out to stop them, they all looked at Lu Cheng and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you stand up and show off your power?"
People who are out there care about face. They like to call face "share". A big share means a big face, and a small share means a small face. To "pull out a share" means to stand out and fight for face.
"A good dog doesn't block the road. Get out of the way and let the two girls leave first."
"Hey, you're really out of breath. Guys, teach this guy a lesson."
Facing the six or seven strong young men coming towards him, Lu Cheng just chuckled, then took three or two steps forward, controlled his strength, punched with his left hand, kicked with his right hand, and attacked quickly and accurately. After a few dull sounds, the guys who rushed up all fell to the ground, holding the places where they were hit and wailing, unable to stand up for a while...
