Chapter 296 Buying Books
Jingle Bell……
Jingle Bell……
Bai Baoshan woke up from his dream.
He pushed Qiao Yun, who had run into his bed again, to the side, stretched his muscles, and climbed out of bed.
Today is December 63, 12, Sunday, which also happens to be the winter solstice.
Yesterday, the whole factory distributed half a pound of meat.
There are only 25 pigs weighing less than 400 pounds.
Other small factories also came early to take away one or two cows.
All the gifts that should be given have been given to all the superiors.
Just enjoy the holiday comfortably today.
Although the boiler outside is extinguished, the water inside is still hot.
Turn on the faucet and wash yourself, it will feel so comfortable.
When he came outside, he started to practice the Dragon Movement Technique.
Although I haven't advanced yet, the combination of the first five moves of the Wandering Dragon Technique is becoming more and more powerful. Combined with the Wandering Dragon Footwork, although I can't say that I can dodge 5 bullets within 3 meters, I can still dodge 20 bullets within 4 meters.
At this time, Qiao Yun also came out yawning as if she had just finished washing up.
"Good morning, bro."
"What do you mean early? It's still early at this time. Don't get up late on Sundays from now on."
"Hehe... I got it, brother." Qiao Yun ran over and threw herself into his arms. It was really impossible for a girl over 1.7 meters tall to pretend to be a kitten.
Bai Baoshan had no choice but to continue.
He hugged her for quite a while before letting go.
Let Qiao Yun warm up first and practice the Fengwu Kung Fu twice.
Bai Baoshan felt itchy and pounced on Qiao Yun.
The two hit each other instantly.
This is not the first or second time. In the past six months, the two have fought against each other many times. Qiao Yun used to be unfamiliar with her moves, but now she can use them flexibly.
However, only Qiao Yun's Fengwu has not been mastered yet, otherwise the 9th move, Falling Phoenix and Capturing Dragon, would be specifically aimed at Bai Baoshan's Wandering Dragon Technique.
It can be said that the previous ones are all complementary to each other, but in the later stages they are mutually reinforcing and restraining. The last two moves are specifically aimed at the Youlong Gong.
It is conceivable that we have no idea what the lovely ancestor who developed Youlong Fengwu was thinking.
No matter how hard they practiced, Youlong still couldn't beat Fengwu.
Even so, mortals are still mortals, and will also grow old, get sick and die, but their bodies are just much stronger.
As for transcending the limits of mortal men, I didn't know about it before and have never heard of it in modern times.
By the end of the fight, although Qiao Yun was not very skilled in the moves, she was almost on par with the opponent.
But it was also the result of Bai Baoshan's humility.
"Okay, that's it for today. After dinner, let's go to Liulichang with my brother to buy some old books, and decorate our study room."
"Okay bro, I'll go cook."
Qiao Yun cooks very quickly. She makes beef porridge with a cut white mushroom in it. The soup is so delicious that it makes people salivate.
Fortunately, Bai Baoshan built the chimney high when he designed the house.
That way there isn't much flavor.
After dinner, the two put on thick cotton coats and pushed the cart out.
It just so happened that the rain was falling in the front yard, as if waiting for Zhang Yuchu to get up.
"Brother Baoshan, Qiao Yun, where are you going?" Yu Shui walked over.
Bai Baoshan nodded, and Qiao Yun locked the door at the back and said, "Sister Yushui, my brother and I are going to go shopping, so we won't disturb you. Hehe, bye."
Yu Shui also waved his hand and watched Qiao Yun run out the door.
Ever since I met Zhao Zhenjun on the way that day, I have been seeing him every morning and evening on my way to and from get off work these days. I am so annoyed.
I don’t know who to tell.
I took Qiao Yun to the first branch of Beijing Xinhua Bookstore in Wangfujing.
This is the first bookstore in Beijing, and also the largest one, and also the one with the most books.
After entering, I just started shopping.
And on the other side.
He Yushui and Zhang Yuchu pushed the car out.
Sha Zhu knew this person, but he couldn't say anything.
After all, Yu Shui is 18 years old and can get married.
Moreover, Zhang Yuchu is also a college student and a technician in the factory, so he is more than qualified to be a good match for He Yushui.
Today, Shazhu received a banquet, not many, just 2 tables.
Not long after leaving the compound, a police officer stopped Sha Zhu and talked to him for a long time. In one sentence, he said, "I know you've been bullied. If you let your sister and I date, then if anyone bullies you in the future, you'll have to see if I can deal with him."
He patted the pistol as he spoke.
Shazhu is sometimes stupid, and sometimes not really stupid.
He didn't agree immediately, but just said he wanted to talk about it when he came back in the evening.
Sha Zhu believed that he could not negotiate the high-end situation alone, so he could only bring in Yi Zhonghai, who had a good brain.
We agreed to meet at Yi Zhonghai’s house at 4 p.m.
Zhao Zhenjun had visited Courtyard No. 95 several times and knew everything about the courtyard very well, and of course he also knew where Yi Zhonghai lived.
Bai Baoshan came back around noon, delivered the book, and then made the dough for dumplings.
I have to go again. Qiao Yun is still picking books in the bookstore. I'd like to buy more while I have time today.
After turning back, I saw that it was noon, so I went to the nearby Donglaishun, had a meal, and while it was still hot, I went back to the bookstore.
Buy whatever you like.
There are still a lot of those old books here.
Of course it can't be missed.
If you have time, you should go to Liulichang, where there are many old books for sale.
When I went out of the bookstore again, I had another basket of books. Two baskets of books, which was enough to fill a bookshelf with two layers.
I will add more to it slowly in the future.
Buy some pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, as well as straw paper for practicing calligraphy.
Let Qiao Yun have some time to cultivate her sentiments.
As for myself…I still have some appreciation for sentiments, but let’s forget about taking action.
Of course, I haven’t forgotten that today is the Winter Solstice.
After leaving the bookstore, the Dongdan Vegetable Market is next to it.
Although it was difficult to get meat in the capital, a lot of meat was still released. After all, today was the winter solstice and people had to eat dumplings.
The leaders also understand what the people want.
You don't need to buy pork Bai Baoshan.
There was meat at home, not only pork, but also mutton and beef. I asked Qiao Yun to buy tofu, while I bought some shrimps and a sea bass to steam.
Although it’s only half a pound, it’s okay.
The small shrimps turned into big shrimps that were more than twice as big as they were before.
Even the sea bass became a two-pound one, and it was in the basket, so no one could see it.
At that time, every household's vegetable basket was similar, made of bamboo.
Qiao Yun also ran back and bought two pounds of tofu, one pound of tofu skin, and one pound of bean sprouts.
Well, half of this month's ration has been used.
I looked at my watch and it was past 4pm, so I let’s go home.
A basket of books is very heavy, but with Qiao Yun pressing it down, it just keeps the car balanced.
When he got home, he ignored Yan Bugui's hopeful look and pushed the cart into the yard.
If Bai Baoshan didn't want to keep a low profile, he wouldn't have entered through the small door at all. Wouldn't it be better for him to go directly through the outer gate?
When I get home, I move the books to the second floor and leave them on the floor without paying attention. I will pick them up after dinner and they won’t run away by themselves.
To make dumplings, Bai Baoshan only needs to chop the stuffing himself. He can order beef, scallion, mutton, or shrimp.
The kind with a shrimp wrapped in one dumpling.
Pork and green onions.
Four fillings, enough.
Don’t mention it, Qiao Yun is really skillful.
The dumpling wrappers are rolled very round and small.
The same goes for making dumplings.
Qiao Yun was making dumplings while Bai Baoshan was watching from the side.
It was almost 5: when we finished making the dumplings.
Bai Baoshan no longer has to work on making dumplings.
Qiao Yun was in the kitchen and Bai Baoshan went upstairs.
With a wave of his hand, the book on the ground entered the space.
Then when they were released, they were all on the shelves.
Well categorized though.
At this moment, Bai Baoshan on the second floor heard a loud noise in the yard next door.
He frowned, opened the window and listened.
It seemed like He Yushui was crying, and a few people were talking about something.
Bai Baoshan frowned, closed the window and went downstairs.
Obviously Qiao Yun heard it too.
"Brother, I think I heard Sister Yushui crying."
"Yeah, it's okay, I'll go check it out, just make sure the dumplings are cooked enough."
"Yeah, I got it. It'll be ready soon. Bro, I want to go too."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Qiao Yun ran into the kitchen, served the dumplings, turned on the fire, and put the pot aside.
"Brother, let's go." Qiao Yun washed her hands and came out.
Bai Baoshan took a big cotton-padded coat and helped Qiao Yun put it on to prevent her from getting cold. He also put on his military coat, took Qiao Yun's hand and went out.
