How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 2 Imperial Center
Knowing that he had traveled through time, Li Le could no longer sleep and got out of bed naked.

After taking the powerful pills and absorbing the grandmaster-level Bajiquan, although Li Le could no longer see the night as day, he could see everything in the house.

The room was very simple, with a bed, a large wardrobe, a table and a chair, 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, turned on the lantern, and then lit it with the matches.

The room became brighter now. There was a set of cotton clothes, including underwear, on the bed. Li Le hurried over to put them on.

Although he didn't feel cold, he couldn't just leave it on like that! He wasn't an exhibitionist.

After putting on his clothes, Li Le went out holding the 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 house with one entrance. The reason it is called a large courtyard house is because of the size of the house and the area it covers.

This courtyard has five main rooms, and the width of these five rooms is 22 meters, which is much larger than the ordinary courtyard houses where the width of the five rooms is only 15 or 16 meters.

In a general courtyard house, the width of a room is three meters, but in this courtyard, the width of each room is more than four meters.

There is also the depth. The depth of a general courtyard house is about five meters, and at most six meters. However, the depth of this courtyard house reaches eight meters.

In addition, this large courtyard has three side rooms on the east and west sides, and the area of ​​these side rooms is the same size as the main rooms in other courtyards.

There are also five rooms facing the street, just opposite the main house, but the middle room is the main door, and the main door is as wide as the rooms, more than four meters.

The yard is ten meters wide and seventeen meters deep, of course, not including 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, more than one acre.

Li Le discovered that there was no smell of life in the entire yard, and it seemed that no one else lived there.

"System, what's going on? You didn't do this, did you?"

"Yes, host. The deed is on the Eight Immortals Table in the main hall. Please keep it safe."

"hiss!"

This is a large courtyard house! Now it is his own, and he lives alone.

Li Le hurried to the main room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw something on the Eight Immortals Table. He went over to take a look and found that it was indeed the house deed.

And his name is also Li Le.

It was the 1950s and there was no such thing as household registration, so there was no household registration booklet.

In addition to a house deed, there was also a stack of money with denominations of 10,000, 5,000, 1,000, 500, 200 and 100.

Li Le counted it and it was a total of 50,000 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 is 1950 now! Only the first set of RMB is available, and the second set of RMB will not be issued until 1955.

Needless to say, this is also the initial capital given by the system, because fifty thousand yuan is just enough for his living expenses for one month.

In fact, this first set of RMB is very valuable! If you get a set and bring it back to the real world, it will basically solve Li Le's financial freedom.

After putting the money and the title deed into the system space, Li Le began to think about the future.

Although the system gave him 50,000 yuan, enough for him to live for a month, Li Le didn't intend to live here for just one month.

He wants to bring some good things back from this world and achieve his financial freedom.

January 1, 1950, was the day when the country was founded! It was a perfect time to do business.

Moreover, it is only possible to do business in the next few years. After the public-private partnership, it is basically impossible to do business again. The sky gradually brightened. Li Le didn't expect that he had been sitting in the main room for half the night. He turned off the lantern and went outside.

I went into the kitchen and took a look. Unexpectedly, I found some rice, a cabbage and a radish.

These things are enough to last for a day, but if I don’t buy them today, I’ll be hungry tomorrow.

Cooking some rice porridge and stir-frying some cabbage was no problem for Li Le, who lived 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 knew nothing about the outside world, so he at least had to go out and take a look at what the situation was like outside.

Of course, he also needs to buy some food and vegetables. As for meat, forget it. Although he can buy it, the 50,000 yuan in his hand is probably not enough for a few meals.

This courtyard is amazing. Donghuamen Street is right outside the door, and 50 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 a hundred meters away from the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City.

It can be said to be the center of the imperial capital.

The streets are bustling with people coming and going, and the sounds of hawking are heard one after another, making it very lively.

There are people selling breakfast, candied haws, popcorn, and making candy figures, etc.

Li Le looked around and saw basically everything for sale except grain. Li Le slapped his forehead.

Only then did I realize who would set up a stall to sell food! I should go to the grain and oil store to buy food.

Sure enough, about two hundred meters to the east, there was a grain and oil store.

"What would you like to order?" The clerk in the grain and oil shop asked when he saw Li Le coming in.

Nowadays, not all grain and oil stores are government-owned. Most of them are privately owned, so the situation of being ignored will definitely not occur.

"I want to buy some rice, but I don't know how to sell it?" Li Le asked.

"There are regular rice and polished rice. Which one do you want?"

The clerk in the grain and oil shop introduced the products to Li Le carefully without any impatience.

"How are they selling?" Li Le asked.

"Ordinary rice costs 1,400 kilograms, and refined rice costs 1,800 kilograms."

After knowing the price, Li Le thought for a moment and said, "Give me 20 kilograms of refined rice!"

After Li Le finished speaking, he handed over the cloth bag that he had put on his waist when he came out.

The clerk in 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 20 kilograms of polished rice costs a total of 36,000 yuan."

You don’t need a ticket to buy things now, as long as you have money, and as long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want as long as it is for sale.

Li Le took out the money, counted out 36,000 yuan and handed it to the waiter.

"Take care!" The guy counted and saw that Li Le was about to leave, so he hurriedly said.

Li Le arrived outside the grain and oil store and found an empty alley. He walked in, and when he came out, the bag in his hand was gone.

Out of the 50,000 yuan, 36,000 was spent in one go, leaving only 14,000.
