Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 936 Come to the door
Han Li released the two little owls before leaving the hotel. The location of the nearby black market had already been found by the two little owls. Now he only had to follow the little owls.

However, Han Li took into consideration that he was unfamiliar with the place and the amount of things he wanted to exchange tonight was not small, so he covered his face with a scarf on the way.

However, the black market is the same everywhere. No matter how powerful the background is, it is still located in a relatively remote place, and you have to pay when you enter.

Han Li had many experiences in the black market. Even though he had never been to Shanghai, he successfully figured out the rules here using his fluent Wu dialect.

However, it must be said that the living standard in the eighth category of areas in Shanghai is amazing. The same things are much higher than those in the old cities.

How should I put it? Because of family reasons, Hao Hongmin still doesn't have a bicycle in Shanghai. He couldn't let his woman feel too depressed, right? It wouldn't be too much for her to ride a bicycle to and from school and home, so Han Li thought of giving her a bicycle under the pretext of "being with her boyfriend".

But when Han Li was exchanging bicycle tickets here today, he found that even though Shanghai was the hometown of Phoenix bicycles, the Phoenix brand lightweight 26-inch model with rotating bell, inclined beam, large chain box and brake for "female noble bicycle" that Han Li exchanged here today was more than a quarter more expensive than that in the old city.

Is this the treatment at the place of origin? Where can he go to seek justice?

Originally, Han Li was planning to exchange a watch ticket so that Hao Hongmin could replace the watch she had worn for many years, and buy a radio for his half-mother-in-law Hao Jingshi to entertain her family. However, after getting the bicycle ticket, he grinned and thought that the landlord's family didn't have any extra food, so no matter how much money he had, he couldn't waste it like this.

Moreover, next year there will be not only reform and opening up, but also major fluctuations in commodity bargaining. At that time, it will be cheaper to buy or exchange anything you want. Whether it is favors or love, only continuous investment can make it continuous like a mountain stream.

So Han Li exchanged bicycle tickets, various tickets from Shanghai, and some practical small items on this black market and left without looking back.

In the morning, after getting up, Han Li simply performed the Xingyiquan boxing stance in the room, and carefully practiced the Spring Breeze and Rain Technique twice to stretch all the muscles and bones in his body.

Wash up, go to the bathroom, and check out.

Convenient? I have to say that the attitude of Shanghai Hotel is pretty good.

Han Li didn't know what the situation was like in other hotels, but the room he stayed in last night was equipped with a large spittoon for guests' convenience at night. There were people to clean it up after guests got up or checked out, and guests just had to leave.

In most hotels in the north, if you need to get up at night, you have to put on your clothes and run to the public restroom. It’s not a big deal in the summer, but if you stay in the winter, I was so cold after this trip that I had to stay in bed for a long time and couldn’t recover.

After Han Li checked out of the hotel, he found a restaurant on the street that had a lot of customers. The food they served was tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, scallion pancakes, and pot stickers, which are called tofu pudding in Shanghai.

Han Li took a look at it and thought it was pretty good. At least the tofu pudding in Shanghai was salty.

The bottom of the tofu pudding bowl in this restaurant is made with seaweed, dried shrimps, chopped green onions, and chopped pickled mustard tubers, and finally topped with soy sauce and sesame oil. If you like spicy food, you can ask the waiter to add some chili oil.

Although now the primary goal is to eat enough, there are not so many requirements for northern and southern flavors, as long as the stomach can be filled, but Han Li still cannot imagine what it is like to have sweet tofu pudding as a staple food.

Because in Han Li's cognition, salty tofu pudding is omnipotent. If you are short of money, you can ask the boss to add a little soup or more chili to increase the amount of staple food you can eat.

If you happen to have some leftover fried dough sticks or fried cakes when you are eating, and you don’t want to waste them, you can also ask the boss to add some soup, and soak the remaining fried dough sticks or fried cakes in the bowl and eat them. But what should you do if the sweet tofu pudding faces the above two situations? Ask the boss to add more sugar? But will it be too sweet to swallow?
While Han Li was still wondering what the difference was between sweet tofu pudding and eating steamed buns dipped in sugar, it was already his turn in the queue.

"Comrade, one bowl of tofu pudding, a little more chili oil, half a pound of fried dough sticks, two scallion pancakes, and twenty pot stickers, thank you."

Han Li ignored the strange looks from the people around him. After paying, he sat down at an empty seat with his ordered food and tasted the tofu pudding first.

How should I put it? The tofu pudding in Shanghai is particularly tender, much more tender than that in Sijiucheng, but if he could choose, he would still choose the tofu pudding in Sijiucheng.

Although the one in Shanghai is salty, its soup base is just soy sauce and salt. The soup base of Sijiucheng tofu pudding is mostly made from large bones.

No matter how long the big bones in the pot have been boiled or how many pots of soup have been boiled in, even if they have been boiled for two years and have turned white and break at the touch, at least the customers will feel more comfortable when they see the big bones, even if there is only the taste of spices in their mouths.

(Mao Sui is referring to later generations. No one would do this in this era, and no one dares to do this.)
Han Li finished eating everything he ordered, and left again ignoring the gazes of the people around him. However, as soon as he left, the people here started talking.

"My goodness, this guy has such a big belly."

Because everyone's eyes were on Han Li just now, at this time an unconvinced brother said with a very pouting mouth.

"What's the point of looking glamorous? I think he is just a piece of donkey dung with a shiny outer layer. This guy is definitely a strong man, otherwise how could he eat so much."

At this time, a well-mannered auntie wearing glasses looked at the elder brother and said with disdain.

"Liba? Haha, you are ignorant, the guy is wearing a woolen Zhongshan suit, and judging by the fit, it must have been specially tailored for him.

In the pocket of his jacket is the latest Hero fountain pen with a steel stem, on his feet are three-jointed cowhide shoes, and on his wrist is a Shanghai-made all-steel waterproof watch. You can't buy this even if you save and live frugally for two years. If such a person is Liba, then what are you? What are we?"

The aunt's words silenced everyone in the restaurant, but Han Li didn't know this. He arrived at the intersection, stopped a turtle car, and asked the driver to take him to the nearest department store.

However, what Han Li did not expect was that the name of this department store was actually "Sijiucheng Department Store". Does this count as shopping in his hometown?

Despite this, Han Li only picked up a Phoenix brand lightweight 26-inch bicycle with a rotary bell, a diagonal beam, a large chain box, and brakes, and equipped it with a grinding light and the latest bicycle locks. As for the matter of stamping the steel stamp, he would leave it to Hao Hongmin later.

When Han Li rode the bicycle to a deserted place, he quickly took out some of the pickled, smoked, and frozen fish that he had obtained from the Russians from the decomposition space and filled a travel bag with them.

Few people eat this kind of thing, whether in Shanghe Village or Sijiu City. Han Li himself has no shortage of meat, so he has never taken it out. Now is the first time he goes to Hao Hongmin's house, which is just an opportunity.

In addition to these fish, Han Li also took out some dried sea cucumbers, dried abalone, and dried scallops. Considering that Hao Hongmin's mother was someone who had seen and eaten them, Han Li finally took out two bottles of brandy, champagne, and wine and placed them at the bottom of the travel bag.

With two large travel bags full of gifts and a Phoenix 26-inch lightweight bicycle, Han Li had given Hao Hongmin the most face possible. As for her mother, Hao Jingshi, Han Li also equipped her with gifts.
