Chapter 74

After sending Song Shuqian back to the hotel, Wei Jianguo went out to look for the black market.

After wandering around the city for the past few days, he keenly found the location of the black market.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he changed his state and disguised himself so that people who were not very familiar with him could not tell.

All the way to the black market, Wei Jianguo paid a 20-cent entrance fee and went in to buy things.

The black market has a real variety of things.

Wei Jianguo bought everything according to the list Song Shuqian wrote yesterday.

The large amount of money attracted the attention of the black-market boss.

Wei Jianguo is a professional and it took him some time to get rid of the people who followed him out.

After walking around outside for another circle, he returned to the hotel.

In the hotel, Song Shuqian slept soundly. She has a particularly good sleep quality recently, basically falling asleep as soon as she touches the pillow.

Wei Jianguo quietly picked up the things on the ground and divided everything into two parts, one into the magic gourd and one sent back to the army.

When Song Shuqian woke up, she saw Wei Jianguo holding a book and reading it seriously.

“What time is it?”

“Wake up, it’s eleven o’clock, are you hungry?”

“I’m hungry. Let’s go shopping in the department store after dinner.

” “No problem.”

In just a few words, Wei Jianguo had helped Song Shuqian up and helped her put on her clothes.

Song Shuqian went to wash her face and felt refreshed.

The two went out together, and Wei Jianguo took her through twists and turns to an inconspicuous house. After knocking rhythmically a few times, a middle-aged aunt opened the door, glanced at the two of them, and said, “My eldest nephew and his wife are here, come in quickly.”

Wei Jianguo responded while taking Song Shuqian in.

Song Shuqian was confused the whole time. What was going on? Who was I? Where was I?

After entering the door, the aunt took them to a room with two tables.

“What would you like to eat?” asked the aunt.

Wei Jianguo saw that his wife had come back to her senses, so he asked her to look up at the small blackboard, which listed the dishes that could be ordered today.

“One white meat blood sausage, one stewed fish, one portion of braised meat, a bowl of rice, one and a half pounds of dumplings, and please pack two elbows and two smoked chickens for me.” Song Shuxi’s generosity shocked people everywhere. After

the aunt left, Wei Jianguo told Song Shuxi that this shop was opened secretly by a private person and only accepted business introduced by acquaintances.

The knock on the door just now was a secret signal.

They cooked whatever vegetables they bought every day.

Song Shuxi was amazed that there were still people who dared to do business privately in this era.

After a while, the aunt who opened the door just now came back. She wiped the elbow and smoked chicken on the small blackboard with a wet rag. It seems that the only two today were taken away by herself.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, all the dishes were served.

Song Shuxi’s goal was to stew the fish.

The fish meat is firm and has fewer bones, which is better than sea fish. The tofu in the fish absorbed enough soup. When you take a bite, the fragrance explodes in your mouth. Song Shuxi couldn’t stop eating one bite after another.

There is also a small amount of vermicelli in the fish, which is also delicious.

She ate a whole portion of stewed fish by herself, and Song Shuqian felt like her stomach was about to burst.

Wei Jianguo, who was not a picky eater, followed Song Shuqian in eating like this every day, and his mouth became picky.

This meal took the deliciousness to a higher level.

They left from another door of the courtyard.

When they came out, they were right near the Second Department Store.

Harbin’s Second Department Store is a three-story European-style building. The first floor sells snacks, cakes, and daily necessities. The second floor sells clothes, fabrics, and cultural supplies. The third floor sells large items such as watches, radios, and bicycles.

Song Shuqian shopped carefully, trying to find something unique to Harbin, but there was nothing.

Everything was the same as in other department stores.

It was a pleasant surprise to find two colors that were not available at the paint counter.

After leaving, Song Shuqian was still a little unresponsive.

“Jianguo, don’t you think this situation is abnormal? I’ve been to the department stores in Jinling, Huludao, and now Harbin. The things are almost the same. But these three cities are far away from each other, and the climate and living habits are different. Logically, the things sold should have more or less regional characteristics.”

Wei Jianguo had never been to a department store before, and he didn’t know these sayings.

After listening to Song Shuqian, he felt that what she said made sense.

But, the current environment is like this, and they can’t do anything. Just

when he was thinking about how to comfort Song Shuqian, he saw that she was fine and continued to look at the scenery without any care.

Wei Jianguo…

Song Shuqian saw his reaction, moved a little closer and said, “History is not written by a certain person. I am just ordinary in terms of talent and ability, and I don’t have any lofty ambitions. I just want to guard my own piece of land and live my own life.

I’m just talking to you about those things. Just think of it as my daily complaints.”

Wei Jianguo didn’t think his wife was so useless. On the contrary, he thought it was good for her. She always knew what kind of life she wanted and was willing to work hard for it.

On the way back, they passed by a Xinhua Bookstore. The two of them went in and strolled around, but didn’t find anything interesting.

After coming out, Song Shuqian complained again, “There are so many books in history, so many useful books, but I haven’t read any of them. There are also books in foreign countries, and those foreign books can be translated and read by everyone, but they haven’t.

Isn’t this a policy of keeping the people ignorant? They don’t want the people to read and study, because they are afraid that they will suddenly grow brains.”

Wei Jianguo looked at his angry little wife and thought she was cute.

He himself didn’t realize that Song Shuqian’s daily complaints made him a general who could think independently and know how to choose from a soldier who obeyed orders.

My dear, there is more to come in this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. The rest is even more exciting! “I’m leaving tomorrow, but I feel like I haven’t visited anything?”

Song Shuqian felt that this was different from the trip she imagined.

“Then think about where else you haven’t been. We still have time. Let’s go and see.”

Song Shuqian counted on her fingers and found that there were no attractions in Harbin.

As she thought about it, Song Shuqian found that there was a place they had missed, Shiyitang, a well-known medical clinic in Harbin.

Its Angong Niuhuang Pills, Bear Oil Tiger Bone Paste, and Deer Horn Glue are all very good Chinese patent medicines.

“Jianguo, let’s go to Shiyitang and buy some medicine,” Song Shuxi pulled Wei Jianguo and left.

Song Shuxi took two steps and found that she was standing still. She couldn’t move, absolutely couldn’t move, “Why don’t you move?”

“Wife, where are you feeling uncomfortable?” Wei Jianguo was nervous and looked at Song Shuxi carefully, trying to see where she was sick.

Song Shuxi realized that she didn’t make it clear.

“Don’t be nervous, I’m not sick. Shiyitang is a time-honored brand in Harbin. Such a time-honored brand can be preserved all the time, and it must have its own outstanding features. Their Angong Niuhuang Pills and Xiongyouhugu Paste are all very famous medicines. We can buy some back to prepare for emergencies.”

Wei Jianguo thought of how Song Shuxi hoarded Ganoderma lucidum, and he understood.

Rich families will make preparations in advance, and poor families will not go to see a doctor unless they have to.

The two walked all the way to Shiyitang, and Song Shuxi told him that everything should be prepared, and if not prepared, it will be abandoned.

When they arrived at Shiyitang, it was just a small medicine hall, a very inconspicuous small front.

Song Shuxi and the others went in. An old doctor was sitting in the hall. He was very nice to them, at least better than the waiters in the department store.

“You two, we can’t see patients here now, we only sell medicine.

” “Boss, we are here to buy medicine. We have long heard of Angong Niuhuang Pills from Shiyitang and want to buy some to take back for emergency use.”

“Oh, I dare not call you boss. My surname is Su, so call me Comrade Su. How many bottles of Angong Niuhuang Pills do

you want?” “Comrade Su, do you need tickets to buy medicine? To be honest, I don’t have much tickets on me, and I want a lot.”

“No tickets

are needed to buy medicine.” “Then I want 10 bottles of Angong Niuhuang Pills, 10 boxes of bear oil and tiger bone ointment, and 10 boxes of deer glue. If you have any beauty products, yin nourishing and lung moistening products, give me some as well.”

Seeing this generous offer, the shopkeeper was happy and enthusiastically recommended some beauty products.

Song Shuxi bought everything generously, “Comrade Su, please leave me your address, and I will contact you when I need it later.”

“Okay, just send the letter to this address.” Wei Jianguo once again witnessed his wife’s generosity
