Siheyuan: Starting from a fitter

Chapter 174 Setting up a stall on Shanghai Street

After "visiting" the living room, Li Guocheng thought of learning Cantonese.

"Azhi, I want to learn Cantonese. Can you be my teacher?" The other person rolled his eyes and said, "No problem, but I have to charge tuition."

"There is no problem with tuition fees."

"Well, one hour a day, 1 yuan each time," Azhi tentatively quoted a price.

"OK".

Azhi's little face, which was only about the size of a palm and had sharp edges, immediately felt a little depressed. Her face changed very quickly and was super cute.

"Did I report it too low? Do you want it to be higher?" she opened her mouth.

"Oh my God! This girl's brain is blocked," Li Guocheng thought to himself.

"Okay, I'll give you 20 an hour."

"Wow", the little girl immediately shouted happily, but then she was a little hesitant.But soon, she began to blush herself.It seems that the brain circuit has just cleared up.

"How about we start now?" the little girl asked tentatively.

"OK".

The little girl happily ran to her room, and then ran out with a middle school textbook.

"I'll read a sentence, you read a sentence after me." Looking at the happy little girl, Li Guocheng had the urge to cover his forehead.

Then, the little girl read one sentence and Li Guocheng followed it.After reading one page, she asked Li Guocheng to repeat it.I found that he actually read it from beginning to end, even though some of the pronunciation was not accurate enough.

"Wow, Brother Long, you are so awesome." The little girl was very happy. She did not expect that her teaching ability was so strong.

Before I knew it, an hour and a half had passed, and I had finished reading the not-so-thick book from the beginning.

The little girl looked at the last page, as if she had realized something, and her mouth tightened, perfectly interpreting the idiom of wanting to cry without tears.

"It's timed out, I'll give you 40 Hong Kong dollars."

When she heard 40 Hong Kong dollars, the little girl became happy again.Rolling his eyes, he said, "We are just reading roughly today, and we will correct the pronunciation page by page in the future."

After speaking, she mentally praised herself for her wisdom.His right hand couldn't help but make a fist to cheer him up.

She suddenly became serious again, "That's all for today. Remember, you are not allowed to approach this door." All that remained of her rich expression was bared teeth.

"Well, Miss Azhi, what should I do if I get up at night?"

"what?"

Looking at her confused expression, Li Guocheng explained: "Just going to the toilet."

"There are two public toilets outside, but I suggest you buy your own toilet," suggested Miss Azhi.

"You go out of the building and turn left, pass by two alleys, then turn right... Forget it, I'll take you there." The little girl was now more straightforward.

The little girl took a flashlight, locked the door, and led Li Guocheng out of the building.

After walking a section of the road that looked like a maze, Li Guocheng came to a public toilet.After entering the toilet, Li Guocheng knew why Miss Azhi suggested that he prepare a toilet.

It’s really hard to put it into words. The dry toilets in the north are inferior to this one.

Originally, the alley smelled of damp, incense, charcoal burning, food corruption, cooking, fishy smell, burning plastic, mold, etc.This public toilet can make you doubt your lack of vocabulary.

When I go back, it's like when I came here, I am constantly greeted by people I know.

"Azhi, this is your boyfriend!"

"No, little brother, come and sit here often from now on. Sister is so gentle."

. . . . . .

Amidst the giggling sounds and Azhi's thoughts of "stinky man", she returned to the living room.

"Hey, hurry back to your room, you're so disgusting."

Seeing Azhi's disgusted expression, Li Guocheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He turned back to his room, looked at the room with only a bed board, and closed the door behind him.

Close the reasonably clean curtains.Entered the secret realm.

Miss Azhi returned to the house, looked at the 40 Hong Kong dollars in her hand, with little stars in her eyes, and giggled.Thinking of the "so disgusting" thing just now, I suddenly buried my head in the quilt and laughed.

"This mainland guy is so stupid!"

Li Guocheng got up the next day and went out to buy a bucket of water.This is what Ah Zhi told him yesterday, you can buy it or choose it yourself.

Carry it to his house, take out the face plate and toothbrush, wash up quickly, put the water and basin into the secret place, and then carry the bucket to the living room.I went back to my house and put on my coat and mille-feuille bottoms, and left Kowloon Walled City early in the morning based on my memories of yesterday.

Of course, the name Kowloon Walled City was also mentioned by Miss Azhi on the way to the public toilet yesterday.If it weren't for the random intrusion of passers-by, Li Guocheng would have probably been able to find out the past of this walled city last night.

Arriving at the bustling Shanghai Street, Li Guocheng took out a wooden bracket from his body, which was similar to the Tang Dynasty's property, a small horse, and inserted two statues of a man and a woman on the shelf.

There are several traditional Chinese characters carved on the wooden shelf, "portrait carving".

When Shanghai Street was built in 1887, it was named Chaiguan Street. It was later renamed in 1900 and has been used to this day.Shanghai Street runs through Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok, starting from Austin Road in the south to Lai Chi Kok Road in the north. It is the earliest commercial street developed in Kowloon.

Shanghai Street is on the seaside. At the end of the 19th century, a pier was built, which served as a land and water transportation hub. Therefore, it attracted many people to gather for selling and buying activities. Until the late 70s, when the pier was dismantled, Shanghai Street had always been a prosperous and prime location.

Li Guocheng is sitting in Yau Ma Tei near Kowloon Walled City.

The two statues were carved on the way to escape according to the impressions of later generations. The male is Jiang Han and the female is Xia Meng.They are all influential figures in the film industry of this era.

I can’t remember the specific appearance. Anyway, the men were made to look handsome, and the women were made to look pretty.

Li Guocheng, who was sitting on a horse harness, had flat eyes, was wearing a coat, and had a mature temperament. Combined with his pretty face (facial muscles have been modified), he looked leisurely and detached from a distance.

If you grow long hair, you will be an artist.

I sat there all morning, watching and asking questions, but no one took care of business.At noon, we ate fish rice on the street.Back at the rental house, he put down his business and put some daily necessities on the small table.

I put on my suit and went out to Shanghai Street again. I walked along the sidewalk and slowly became familiar with the entire Kowloon area.In particular, I would go to the bank and ask about interest rates and exchange rates in English.

Li Guocheng, who came from a later generation, certainly knew how to deal with these little people. Although he didn't handle any business, the receptionist didn't dare to be a little slow.After finishing the work, he respectfully walked out of the door.

After asking, almost all stock exchanges are concentrated on Hong Kong Island, so there is no need to know about them for the time being.

Returning to Kowloon Walled City in the evening, I first came to Hua Ge's shantytown, ready to visit Hua Ge.

"You handsome boy, you're a stranger. There's room here." A little yellow guy looked at Li Guocheng with bright eyes and stretched out his hand to guide him to an empty shed.

Before Li Guocheng could speak, a voice came from a distance and yelled, "Rotten winter melon, go to hell. This is Aaron, Brother Hua's good brother. Don't sell flour to Aaron in the future."

Xiao Huangmao nodded and bowed and left.

Looking at the long shed, Li Guocheng frowned slightly.Immediately relieved, even the British Hong Kong government now designated opium as legal.
