Chapter 55: Spending Sunday
Before that, through Xiao Wu and the radio, Du Fei could determine that the white light in the portable space can be used for living bodies, while the blue light can be used for inanimate objects.
This time, Du Fei obtained extra white light through gold bricks. Outside of the expansion space, there was still a lot of surplus, so how should he use it?
Du Fei had no intention of throwing Xiao Wu into the space to continue upgrading. If he went too far and created a cat demon, it would not end well. After all, it is the general trend not to become a spirit after liberation.
At this moment, Du Fei happened to see the chicken coop in front of Xu Damao's house.
The two old hens inside were sleeping huddled together.
This gave him an idea: "How about I also get two super hens that can lay eggs?"
Thinking of this, Du Fei's mind became more and more active.
Although he has plenty of money now, his food and drink are really no different from others, especially the lack of meat and fish.
Originally, food was tight, and there was not enough food for people, let alone for raising pigs and sheep. The pigs from the meat processing plant are mainly supplied to food companies and canteens of factories and mines. Small quantities sold to ordinary people have to be purchased with tickets.
As for small animals such as chickens, ducks, and rabbits, although they can be bought in the market, they are expensive, skinny, and don’t have much meat.
In comparison, eggs have become a cheaper and more affordable alternative.
But it’s not that easy to raise chickens to lay eggs. Not only do the old hens need to be of good breed, but they also have to be short of feed.
Otherwise, the old hen will not be able to lay eggs because she has no nutrition.
The two old hens in Xu Damao's house were given to him by a fellow villager who was grateful to him when he went to the countryside to show movies.
However, based on Xu Damao's character, Du Fei felt that this 'gift' was probably unfair. It was probably because he had used some means to get people stuck and forced the fellow villagers to give it away.
No matter where they came from, Xu Damao and the two old hens were here, and there was no shortage of food.
Even so, it takes two or three days to lay an egg.
However, Du Fei figured that if he raised chickens by himself, it would definitely be different from them.
Get two old hens, throw them into space, and transform them with white light. Wouldn't it be nice to scramble two eggs a day?
Du Fei thought as he restored the last batch of gold bricks to their original shape, then jumped over the wall again, got on his bicycle, and finally returned to the Red Star Hotel.
That night, I hurriedly and slowly traveled to several places, and even though Du Fei had a super strong physique, he still felt tired.
Back to the hotel, I washed my hair, feet, and buttocks. After finishing one set, I got into bed and fell asleep until dawn.
The next day, Du Fei opened his eyes because he didn't close the curtains when he went to bed last night and the sun shone directly on his face.
Scratching his head, he got up from the bed.
Because I didn’t have a watch, and there was no wall clock in the hotel room, I didn’t know what time it was.
Although my wall clock is placed in the portable space, the mechanical structure in the space has stopped running, and the time is already inaccurate now.
This morning I made an appointment with Chu Cheng to have barbecue season.
Looking at the sunshine outside the window, it is definitely getting late. Du Fei has no habit of being late. Stretching out, looking around, I finally saw the time at the front desk of the hotel.
Five minutes to nine.
The two agreed to meet at the intersection of Gulou at 9:30. It was still early, so there was no need to rush.
Du Fei walked out of the hotel gate and checked the bicycle parked outside.
He came back yesterday
It was too late and I didn’t send the bike to the street office.
The bell and valve core were in good condition, so I got on the bike and went straight to the Drum Tower.
The Drum Tower is located in the northwest corner of Nanluogu Lane, not far from the Red Star Hotel.
After riding for five or six minutes, you can see the high tiled roof of the Drum Tower.
Du Fei parked his bicycle and waited for another ten minutes under the Drum Tower. He saw Chu Cheng swinging on his bicycle and riding along the East Street of the Drum Tower.
At this time, it was at least twenty minutes before the nine-thirty they agreed on.
After the two met, there was another round of teasing and scolding.
After exchanging a few words, Du Fei pointed directly in the direction of Shichahai across the street, "How about we go there to satisfy our cravings now?"
The barbecue season store is not far from here, right on the edge of Shicha Sea.
Chu Cheng said, "Why are you in a hurry? Come with me to the trust store first. My mother insisted on letting me eat a fried dough stick all morning, and I'm not hungry yet! Let's go there for lunch. It's so easy to kill you if you don't eat it." It’s not enough.”
Du Fei said with a smile, "Young Master Chu, you still go to the trust store to buy things? Don't you think you'll lose your status?"
"Get out of here! Stop pushing me." Chu Cheng retorted, but he took out a pocket from his cotton-padded jacket and an oil paper bag from it, "Here you go, before I come out to find you, my mother is afraid that you will be hungry. I’ll bring you some fried cake.”
Du Fei took it and it was still hot!
Feeling a little sour for no reason, I smiled and said, "Aunt Wang is nice to me." She peeled off the oil paper and took a big bite.
The fried cake is not big in size, but it can resist hunger.
Du Fei swallowed a few mouthfuls, then rode his bicycle and rushed with Chu Cheng to the trust store near the Fire Temple.
As the two walked and chatted, Du Fei asked Chu Cheng again, what to buy at the trust store?
Chu Cheng said, "The radio in our office is broken. The director asked me to go to the trust store on Sunday to buy a replacement."
Du Fei was surprised when he heard it. It turned out to be a matter of the work unit. Otherwise, if Chu Cheng couldn't get any coupons, would he have to go to the trust store to look for second-hand goods?
The two of them chatted and rode their bicycles, and arrived downstairs of the trust store in more than ten minutes.
Because it was Sunday, the place was much busier than the last time Du Fei came. On a cold day, there were many people standing at the door, carrying all kinds of things, and some shouting and selling, as if they were attending a big market.
These are second-rate dealers with some connections.
Seeing the way Du Fei and Chu Cheng were dressed, they knew they were wealthy buyers, and several people immediately approached them.
Chu Chengcheng came here to buy a radio and was not interested in anything else. He waved his hands impatiently and took the lead in pushing through the crowd and rushing into the door of the trust store.
Du Fei followed behind and ignored those second-rate dealers who were smarter than monkeys.
In fact, Du Fei stopped by the trust store this time and had some thoughts in his mind. It was time to buy a watch.
Otherwise, if something happens, just like this morning, I won’t know what time it is when I open my eyes.
But he knew that he couldn't buy any good watches in the trust store.
The second-hand price of newly released domestic watches in trust stores is not much cheaper than new ones. It’s not like Du Fei doesn’t have a watch ticket, so he might as well buy a new one.
As for those imported watches, most of them were left over before the liberation. They are priceless but not marketable. As long as they are in good condition and don't land on the market, they can be bought, let alone end up like this.
The foreign watches placed in trust stores are almost without exception broken, and the kind that cannot be repaired at all... Prior to this, through Xiao Wu and the radio, Du Fei was able to determine that the white light in the portable space could be used for life. body, blue light can be used for inanimate objects.
This time, Du Fei obtained extra white light through gold bricks. Outside of the expansion space, there was still a lot of surplus, so how should he use it?

Chu Cheng said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Come with me to the Trust Store first. My mother insisted that I eat some fried dough sticks this morning. I'm not hungry yet! Let's go at noon. It's so easy to get a meal from you. You must eat enough."
Du Fei said with a smile, "The second son of our Chu family is still going to the Trust Store to buy things? Don't you think it's embarrassing?"
"Get lost! Stop squeezing me." Chu Cheng retorted, but took out a bag from his cotton-padded jacket and took out an oil paper bag from it. "Here, I know I came out to find you. My mother was afraid that you would be hungry, so she brought you a fried cake."
Du Fei took it and it was still hot!
He felt a little sour for no reason, and smiled and said, "Auntie Wang is still good to me." Then he peeled off the oil paper and took a big bite.
The fried cake was not big, but it was good for hunger.
Du Fei swallowed it in a few bites, rode his bicycle with Chu Cheng and rushed to the Trust Store near the Fire God Temple.
The two chatted as they walked, and Du Fei asked Chu Cheng again what he was going to buy at the Trust Store?
Chu Cheng said, "The radio in our office is broken, and the director asked me to go to the Trust Store on Sunday to buy a replacement."
Du Fei was surprised to hear this. It turned out to be a matter of the unit. Otherwise, Chu Cheng couldn't get any tickets, so why did he have to go to the Trust Store to buy second-hand goods?
The two chatted while riding bicycles, and arrived downstairs of the Trust Store in more than ten minutes.
Because it was Sunday, it was much more lively here than the last time Du Fei came. There were many people standing at the door in the cold weather, carrying all kinds of things, and shouting and selling, as if they were going to a big market.
These were middlemen with some connections.
Seeing the clothes of Du Fei and Chu Cheng, they knew that they were wealthy buyers, and several of them came up immediately.
Chu Cheng came here just to buy a radio, and was not interested in other things. He waved his hand impatiently, and was the first to squeeze through the crowd and rush into the door of the Trust Store.

The second-hand price of new domestic watches in the trust store is not much cheaper than the new ones. Du Fei is not without watch tickets, so he might as well buy a new one.
Most of the imported watches were left before the liberation, and they are in short supply. As long as they are in good condition and not dropped on the ground, they can be bought and will not end up here.
The foreign watches displayed in the trust store are almost all broken without exception, and they are the kind that cannot be repaired at all...
