Chapter 610 Disappointment
Baizhifang is a historic neighborhood.
The earliest traces can be traced back to Jin.
As early as the Yuan Dynasty, this place was not included in the fifty squares of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty. It was just an office of the Ministry of Rites at that time. Its main responsibility was to make paper for official documents such as edicts and imperial edicts from the emperor and officials. This is also This laid the foundation for Baizhifang’s relationship with paper.
From the earliest paper mill to the current printing factory, it can be said that this white paper workshop has never been separated from paper.
There was even a Cai Lun Temple here earlier, but it was converted into a shopping mall in the first few years.
The most famous of the many factories in this neighborhood is undoubtedly 541.
The name may seem unremarkable, but the products it produces are loved by everyone!
Because this place is printed with Great Unity...
Chu Heng and Zhang happened to pass by this 541 at a glance.
At the seemingly inconspicuous gate, there were security guards with loaded guns standing. Their eyes like eagle eyes scanned the pedestrians on the street vigilantly. Anyone who dared to stay and look around would be expelled in a friendly manner. Leave.
This is an important place in the country, and there is no room for carelessness!
Chu Heng and the others did not dare to get too close. After taking a look at this beloved place from a distance, they quickly pedaled away.
A few moments.
Zhang took one glance and took him to the south of Baizhifang.
"That's it!"
He looked around, then walked towards an alley with determination.
Chu Heng quickly jumped out of the car to follow.
Zhang Yiyan walked along the alley looking around, and finally stopped near the middle.
He pointed to an old wooden door with severe paint peeling off and said with a smile: "It should be this house. I remember it very clearly. I was chatting with that old man at that time, so this door in his house They are all old objects.”
"There seems to be someone."
Chu Heng sniffed and clearly smelled the aroma of food coming from the door. With a smile on his face, he raised his hand and patted the door gently.
“Who is it?”
A voice of agreement quickly came from the door, but it was a woman, and her voice sounded quite young.
“Squeak.”
The door of the courtyard was pushed open from the inside, and a young girl with the popular ear-length short hair stood in front of the door. She looked at the people who came down curiously, and after looking at the handsome boy's face for a few times, she asked Said: "Who are you looking for? "
"Hello, comrade." Chu Heng said hello politely, with a standard sultry smile on his face, and said: "We are looking for a one-eyed old man. Is he in your hospital? ”
The hormones rushing towards her face made the little girl's face turn red instantly. She shyly took a step back, tugged on her patched floral dress, lowered her head with a sense of inferiority, and whispered: "In... in Yes, Grandpa Huang He lives in the east wing, and I'm his neighbor." Zhang from the back glanced at the guy in front with a look of disgust on his face. Damn it, this bastard keeps showing off wherever he goes with his ugly face, annoying everyone. My wife bumps into telephone poles while walking!
It’s really... envious of others!
It would have been great if I had been so handsome back then. I didn't even have to spend money to visit the brothels!
“Oh, thank you.” Chu Heng glanced at Zhang who was still having sex, smiled at the little girl, and walked into the hospital.
This small courtyard is not big, with a total of six rooms, two in the main room, and two in the east and west wing. To the south is the courtyard wall. The courtyard is a mess, with coal sheds, coal stoves and other debris. They are everywhere, so you have to observe carefully every move you make.
The little girl was very enthusiastic. She turned around and led Chu Heng and the others to the door of the room on the left side of the east chamber. She shouted in a crisp voice: "Grandpa Huang, you have a guest at home. Come on!”
“Oh, here we go”
With a response, an old man with one eye missing opened the door and walked out. He squinted his remaining dim eye and carefully identified Chu Heng and the two of them, and finally recognized Zhang. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Hey, you're not the one who collects rags?" What? This is what happened..."
"Brother, you have a really good memory." Zhang Yi smiled and stepped forward, politely offering a cigarette, because there were outsiders present and he didn't dare to talk about buying and selling jade. thing, but tactfully reminded: "That's what happened, you last paragraph Isn’t it said that a relative’s daughter is unavailable? It just so happens that my nephew is also single, so I brought it to him to let you pass by.” Slip, the one-eyed old man heard the nonsense he was talking about and immediately realized When he realized that there was something he couldn't tell outsiders, he immediately looked astonished. Then he looked at Chu Heng with a smile, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, he is a handsome young man! Come in the house quickly, come in the house quickly."
With that said, he invited the two of them in.
The little girl next to her looked at the tall figure disappearing through the door with bright eyes. It was like she was recommending herself, but she was afraid that others would look down on her, so she made a big joke and offended an old neighbor for nothing. .
Therefore, she could only run around in circles in the courtyard, scratching her head.
Chu Heng’s side.
After the two of them entered the house, the one-eyed old man first asked them to sit down, then poured a cup of tea, and then asked in a leisurely manner: "What do you two want?"
Because Chu Heng had never been in contact with the old man, he did not speak, but turned his head and glanced at Zhang.
Zhang understood immediately at a glance, put down the tea cup with a smile, and said truthfully: "It's a coincidence. You still remember the jade pendant and tobacco bag you bought me last time, right? Today I'm going to a friend's house for a drink. When I was traveling, I met an old lady, and those two things turned out to be belongings of her long-lost sister, so I wanted to ask you what your relationship is with those two things.”
"There are such coincidences in this world!" The one-eyed old man also felt it was strange after hearing this, but soon he smiled bitterly, shook his head in front of their expectant eyes and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you two. No, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with those two things."
"I'm not afraid to tell you that when I was young, I was. The man from Ruichengzhai often went to the countryside to collect old things. After liberation, I didn’t leave them behind. I often went to the countryside secretly. The two things you mentioned were collected by me more than ten years ago. "
"This..."
Hearing this, Chu Heng and Zhang glanced at each other, and both saw disappointment on the other's face.
The best and most trouble-free result in their minds was that the old man in front of them was the descendant of the old lady's sister. Unfortunately, it backfired. The old man's denial made things complicated in an instant.
Chu Heng sighed helplessly, and immediately asked: "Uncle, do you still remember where you got the things?"
"I do remember, it was in Dacheng County, Langfang, where you sold me The one who bought it was an old lady, and it cost me thirteen yuan." The one-eyed old man sighed sadly, glanced at Zhang, and said bitterly: "I am. I thought I could make some money, but I ended up losing money at my grandma's house!"
"Who said it wasn't?" Zhang looked at this person with a look of melancholy, and sighed: "I also accepted it. He has a lot of good things, but it’s a pity... that he’s cheap for others!”
