Chapter 2 Imperial Capital Center
Knowing that he had traveled through time, Li Le couldn't sleep and got off the bed naked.
After taking Dali Pills and absorbing the master-level Bajiquan, although Li Le could not see the night as day, he could still see everything in the room.
This room is very simple, with a bed, a large wardrobe, a table and a chair, and nothing else.
Li Le wanted to turn on the light, only to find that there was no electric light at all, only a lantern on the table.
There was a box of matches next to the lantern. Li Le went over to open the lantern and lit it with a match.
The room became brighter now. There was a set of cotton-padded clothes on the bed, including underwear. Li Le quickly went over to put them on.
Although he didn't feel cold, he couldn't just keep the light on like this! He's not an exhibitionist.
After putting on his clothes, Li Le went out with a lantern. When he came outside, Li Le was stunned because this place was exactly the same as where he lived in the real world.
A large courtyard with one entrance. The reason why it is called a large courtyard is because of the size and area of the house.
This courtyard house has five main rooms, and the width of these five rooms is a full 22 meters, which is much larger than the average five-room courtyard house with a width of only 15 or 16 meters.
In a general courtyard house, the width of a room is three meters, but in this courtyard house, the width of each house is more than four meters.
There is also the depth. Generally, the depth of a courtyard house is about five meters, or more than six meters. In this courtyard house, the depth of the house reaches eight meters.
In addition, this large courtyard has three wing rooms in the east and west, and the area of these wing rooms is the same as the main room in other courtyards.
There are also five rooms facing the street, just opposite the main house, but the middle one is a door, and the door is as wide as the room, more than four meters.
The yard is ten meters wide and seventeen meters deep. Of course, this does not count the house.
The entire courtyard covers an area of 22 meters from east to west and 33 meters from north to south, with a total area of 726 square meters and more than one acre of land.
Li Le discovered that there was no smell of fireworks in the entire yard, so it must be that no one else lived there.
"System, what's going on? You didn't do it, did you?"
"Yes, host. The deed of the house is on the Eight Immortals table in the main room. Please keep it, host."
"hiss!"
This is a large courtyard with one entrance! Now it's his own, and he lives alone.
Li Le hurriedly came to the main room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw something on the Eight Immortals' table. He went over and took a look, and it turned out to be a house deed.
And his name is also Li Le.
Now in the 1950s, there is no such thing as a household registration, so there is no household registration book.
In addition to a house deed, there was also a stack of money with a face value of ten thousand, five thousand, one thousand, five hundred, two hundred and one hundred.
Li Le counted it again and found that the total was fifty thousand yuan. Li Le smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Fifty thousand yuan, converted into the second and third sets of RMB, is only five yuan.
But it’s fifty years now! There is only the first set of RMB, and the second set of RMB will not be issued until 55 years.
Needless to say, this is also the initial capital provided by the system, because fifty thousand yuan is just enough for his one month's living expenses.
In fact, this first set of RMB is very valuable! If you get a set and bring it back to the real world, it can basically solve Li Le's financial freedom.
After collecting the money and house deeds into the system space, Li Le began to think about the future.
Although the system gave him 50,000 yuan, which was enough for him to live for this month, Li Le did not want to live here for a month.
He wants to bring some good things back from this world and realize his wealth and freedom.
January 1, 1950, was the founding of the People's Republic of China! At this time, it is completely possible to do business.
And we can only do business in these few years. After the public-private partnership, it will be basically impossible to do business again. The sky gradually dawned, and Li Le didn't expect that he would sit in the main room for half the night, put out the lantern, and came outside.
I went into the kitchen and took a look. Unexpectedly, there was some rice, a Chinese cabbage and a radish.
You can eat these things for one day, but if you don’t buy them today, you will be hungry tomorrow.
Cooking some rice porridge and frying cabbage is nothing for Li Le who lives alone outside.
After eating and drinking, Li Le went out, not from the kitchen, but out of the courtyard.
When he first came to this era, he didn't know anything about the outside world. At the very least, he had to go out and see what was going on outside.
Of course, he also needs to buy some grains and vegetables. As for meat, forget about it. Although it can be bought, the fifty thousand yuan in his hand is probably not enough to eat a few meals.
This courtyard is amazing. Just outside is Donghuamen Street, and fifty meters to the west is Nanchizi Street, which is the road along the moat on the east side of the Forbidden City.
It is only more than 100 meters away from the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City.
It can be said to be the center of the imperial capital.
People were coming and going on the street, and the sound of hawking was very lively.
There are people selling breakfast, people selling candied haws, popcorn, and candy blowers, etc.
Li Le looked around. Basically, everything was sold, but he didn't see anyone selling food. Li Le patted his forehead.
Only then did he realize, who set up a stall to sell food? To buy grain, you should go to a grain and oil store.
Sure enough, about two hundred meters to the east, there was a grain and oil store.
"What do you want?" The clerk at the grain and oil store stepped forward and asked when he saw Li Le coming in.
Nowadays, not all grain and oil stores are public-owned, most of them are privately owned, so there will never be such a situation as being indifferent.
"I want to buy some rice, but I don't know how to sell it?" Li Le asked.
"There are ordinary rice and polished rice, which one do you want?"
The clerk at the grain and oil store was not impatient at all and introduced Li Le carefully.
"How are they sold?" Li Le asked.
"Ordinary rice weighs 1,410 jins, and polished rice weighs 1,810 jins."
After knowing the price, Li Le thought for a moment and said, "Give me twenty kilograms of polished rice!"
After Li Le finished speaking, he handed over the cloth bag that was pinned to his waist when he came out.
The clerk at the grain and oil store took the bag and said, "Okay! Please wait a moment."
Soon the waiter came over with half a bag of polished rice and said to Li Le: "Your twenty kilograms of polished rice totals 36,000 yuan."
Nowadays, you don’t need a ticket to buy things, as long as you have money, and as long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want, as long as there is something for sale.
Li Le took out the money, counted 36,000 yuan and handed it to the clerk.
"Go slowly!" The waiter counted correctly and said quickly when he saw Li Le was about to leave.
When he came to the outside of the grain and oil store, he found a deserted alley. Li Le walked in. When he came out again, the bag in his hand was gone.
Fifty thousand yuan, 36,000 yuan was spent all at once, leaving only 14,000 yuan.
