How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 7 Dashilan

The wild boars and wolves were all taken out, but Li Le didn't like eating them, so he didn't keep any.

Because they were relatively close, the waiter came back quickly. Of course, he was not alone this time. Including him, there were seven people who came at once.

"Come here, a few people, carry all these out of the room." said the shopkeeper.

Those who came were waiters. When they heard the shopkeeper's words, they all came over and hurried in to carry out the wild boars.

The shopkeeper personally went over and took the scale off the cart.

Some were tying the ropes, some were weighing, and it was soon over.

The five wolves weighed a total of 341 kilograms, the three wild boars weighed 462 kilograms, and the pheasants and rabbits weighed a total of 137.

Li Le didn't count when he took it out, probably about one third.

"Four million nine hundred and twenty-three thousand."

The shopkeeper is the shopkeeper. As soon as the things are weighed here, the price is calculated over there.

The five wolves were 1,705,000, the wild boars were 1,848,000, and the pheasants and hares were 1,370,000.

Add them all together, it’s four million, nine hundred and twenty-three thousand.

"Yes! That's right!" Li Le nodded.

Li Le majored in finance and was quite sensitive to numbers. He didn't do the math just now, but after the shopkeeper told him the amount of money, he counted it and found it was correct.

"How about this! I'll round it up for you, four million, nine hundred and fifty thousand."

"Uh!" Li Le was stunned for a moment. He thought the shopkeeper meant to round up to five million! Unexpectedly, it was four million and nine hundred and fifty thousand.

But Li Le didn't say anything. He was not a greedy person. It was good enough that the other party could give you more than 20,000.

"Okay! Thank you, shopkeeper."

"You're welcome. Next time you have it, just come to the store and let me know. I'll give you the same price."

"no problem."

Although Li Le agreed, he has no plans to go again recently.

During the four days in the mountains, most of the hunting was done in the first two days. Although we did catch some prey in the last two days, the amount was very little.

We have to leave some seeds! Besides, even if we go again, it’s probably hard to catch them.

Besides, Li Le is rich now, with a total of more than 5 million, which is enough for the time being. He will deal with it when he is really short of money.

And these five million are all the first set of RMB! It's a pity that they are not complete, otherwise they would be worth a lot of money if they were brought back to the real world.

Especially the most expensive one, which was issued in 1955 and has a face value of 10,000, a picture of herding horses.

At the real-world 2022 summer auction, this horse herding painting with a face value of 10,000 yuan was sold for 17.5 million yuan.

The first set of RMB has twelve denominations and sixty-two versions, including two types of one yuan, four types of five yuan, four types of ten yuan, seven types of twenty yuan, seven types of fifty yuan, ten types of one hundred yuan, five types of two hundred yuan, six types of five hundred yuan, six types of one thousand yuan, five types of five thousand yuan, four types of ten thousand yuan, and two types of fifty thousand yuan.

The total par value is 176,552 yuan.

It’s not a lot, but it would be impossible to get them all after 1955, so this is not the first choice.

However, you can collect some of the ones you have now. You don’t need a lot, just three or two sets will be enough.

When I have collected them all, I will auction one set and keep the rest as a keepsake for myself, or even as a family heirloom.

After the shopkeeper and the waiter left, Li Le also locked the door and went out.

Now that I have money, I should at least prepare everything in the kitchen! Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, I am still short of sauce, vinegar and tea!

Another thing is clothes. Even though you don’t need them now, you still have to prepare them so that you don’t run out of money and have nothing to wear when you need them.

Soy sauce, vinegar and tea are easy to buy. Now that business is not prohibited, they are sold everywhere. Li Le bought everything without even leaving the street. Then there are clothes. You can't buy them on this street. You have to go to Qianmen because there are many silk and satin shops there.

Whether you want to buy fabrics or ready-made clothes, you basically go there. It's not that it's the only place that has them, but there are more and more complete products there.

Dazhalan is not far from Qianmenlouzi and Zhengyangmen, and this is where Li Le wants to go.

He didn't take a tricycle because it was very close to Li Le's house and it would take less than 20 minutes to walk there.

And it is more convenient to walk than to take a tricycle.

At this time, Tiananmen Square was still very empty, with only the monument and the flag-raising platform.

As for the Great Hall on the west side of the square, it does not exist yet because the construction of the Great Hall began in 1958 and was completed in 1959.

After passing Qianmenlouzi and walking south, you will reach Dazhalan in just a few hundred meters.

It's really lively here. It can be said to be the most lively place Li Le has ever seen since he traveled through time. It's even more lively than Wangfujing.

In fact, it is very normal. It has been a commercial area since ancient times. Now that the country has just been founded, it would be strange if it is not lively!

Li Le randomly found a silk shop and went in.

"Welcome! Would you like to buy cloth or ready-made clothes?" an old man with a wooden ruler in his hand came over and asked.

As soon as he saw the old man's attire, Li Le knew that he must be a tailor, as only a tailor would always carry a ruler in his hands.

"I buy ready-to-wear clothes, but not for the ones I wear now."

"Oh! Then you buy ..."

"Buy spring, autumn and summer clothes. Do you have them now?"

"Yes, of course. Let me measure your size first! Then I can help you choose clothes."

"Okay." Li Le nodded.

The old man measured Li Le's shoulder width, arm length, chest circumference, back, waist circumference and leg length, and then took Li Le in.

After entering, Li Le discovered that there were ready-made clothes inside, while cloth was sold outside. No wonder he didn't see any ready-made clothes when he came in.

The old man handed Li Le a few sets and said, "You can go in and try them. There should be no problem."

"Ok!"

There was a closed stove in the clothes-trying room, so it was not cold at all inside. Li Le took off his cotton coat and tried on several sets of clothes.

It’s amazing, they all fit him well, which made Li Le very satisfied. He changed his clothes back and went out with a few sets of clothes.

"Just these few sets! How much?"

"The total is three hundred and thirty-five thousand. You give three hundred and thirty thousand," said the old man.

"Yeah! Okay."

There are five sets of clothes in total, two sets of spring and autumn clothes, and three sets of summer clothes.

To be honest, the price is not cheap, but it's okay.

The reason why it is okay is that 330,000 is equivalent to a worker's monthly salary. Using one month's salary to buy five sets of clothes is not a lot.

Li Le paid the money, and the old man packed the clothes and handed them to Li Le, saying, "Next time you need any clothes, come over and I'll give you a discount."

"No problem, I'll come if you need me."

It has been a week since he traveled to this era, which means that he doesn't have much time left. At least he has to get some good things before returning to the real world.
