Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 146 The news brought by the dog-legged brother

Zhang Yunshang opened the door and looked at Li Weidong at the door in surprise, and the bag at his feet.

"Why did this come here?"

After entering the room, Zhang Yunshang couldn't help but speak.

"I'm afraid that your old man will be hungry, so I will give you some food."

Li Weidong said, kicking the sack beside his feet.

"food?"

Because the date hadn't arrived yet, and Li Weidong didn't go there to grind the flour, although Zhang Yunshang was puzzled at first, he didn't think that there would be food in the sack.

At this moment, after his reminder, he couldn't wait to open the sack.

"Apple, wild boar, white flour?"

Zhang Yunshang took out the sack and looked at Li Weidong in surprise, as if he didn't understand what he was playing.

"This time I came here mainly to tell you that the cooperation between us may be difficult to continue."

As soon as Li Weidong made a start, Zhang Yunshang became impatient.

Although from the very beginning, he thought that this cooperation might not last long.

But this not-too-long basis will take three to five months, or even more than half a year.

But now, they have only cooperated for a month, or once, why can't they cooperate?

"What? Do you think it's too much? But [-]% is already very low." Zhang Yunshang said anxiously.

"No."

Li Weidong shook his head.

To be honest, at a ratio of [-]%, even if you give the bran to the other party, it will consume more energy than yourself. It is much more affordable to use a stone mill to grind flour in the game farm.

In the final analysis, this kind of transaction is still a bit risky.

Two days ago, Wu Mingang told him that the murderer was reported by neighbors because of stewing meat, and was eventually arrested.

Even without Chang Qingbo watching over him, just because of this example, he was worried that sooner or later the people from the flour mill who traded with him would be reported.

At that time, maybe he will be involved.

Just one source of wheat, he can't explain it clearly.

"That?"

Zhang Yun still looked at Li Weidong in confusion. Since it wasn't a matter of the commission, could it be that there was a problem with the source of wheat?

"You also know that I'm working on a farm now. There are people there, there's a mill, and I have a relationship, so in the future, I will deal with the wheat there, which saves trouble. But don't worry, we are friends in times of adversity after all. Every month, I will leave you thirty catties of flour, enough for you to eat alone."

Li Weidong didn't intend to make a clean break with Zhang Yunshang.

This little old man's family is well-off, he has hidden a lot of good things, and he knows a lot of people, so it is necessary to maintain a relationship with him.

Moreover, thirty catties of flour, no more and no less.

For an old man of his age, he must not be hungry.

What's more, he still has food, and he also has a certain amount of fine grain every month.

"Sixty catties."

Zhang Yunshang couldn't help but said.

Thirty catties is indeed enough for him to eat.

But the problem is, he wants the flour for other purposes.

"Old man, it's not that I'm stingy and reluctant. Even the [-] catties I gave you are part of my share. If I give you [-] catties, then I will only be able to drink the northwest wind from now on."

Li Weidong said calmly.

Between the words, a message was revealed to the other party.

The wheat does not belong to him.

In fact, Zhang Yunshang had suspected this for a long time.

It's just that he is an old man who knows what to ask and what not to ask.

Especially the last time Li Weidong came to his place wearing a police uniform, it couldn't be faked.

This kid's way is a bit wild.

Before there is not enough conflict of interest, he is not willing to offend the other party.

"Well, I'm willing to buy sixty catties of flour from you every month at the price on the black market."

Zhang Yun is still unwilling to reduce the amount of flour, so he can only start with the price.

In the past, he bought flour from Li Weidong for fifty cents a catty.

On the black market, it is almost [-] cents a catty.

To Zhang Yunshang, the difference of three cents per catty was nothing.

The reason why he didn't want to go to the black market to buy flour was nothing more than safety.

The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are.

He knows better than anyone how chaotic the real black market is.

If you don't talk far away, just say this year.

He had seen someone beat him with a sap halfway through buying grain from the black market, and he died.

For people of his age, if they go to the black market to buy food, it's fine for a small amount, but if the quantity is large and the number of times is too high, it is inevitable that they will be targeted.

It will be dangerous at that time.

It is precisely because of this that he attaches great importance to Li Weidong's line.

"Master, it's really not about money. I'm not short of money now." Li Weidong shook his head.

"Then what do you lack?"

Zhang Yunshang heard an opportunity from his words.

"I'm very interested in some old crafts. Recently, I learned some jade carving skills on the farm. Can you help me get some Hetian jade?"

Only then did Li Weidong coyly state his purpose.

"Hetian jade?"

Zhang Yunshang frowned, but didn't immediately agree.

The main reason is that since Li Weidong is learning carving, the newly mined jade must be the most suitable. This thing is currently useless except for a small amount of purchase by the state.

For example, on the ground in the capital, there are sellers of carved finished jade, but there are no raw materials.

Seeing that Zhang Yunshang seemed to be in a dilemma, Li Weidong said again: "You don't need a lot of big and good jade, as long as you can practice your hand, you can use it, but the quantity should be large."

Although Xu Damao gave him a jade pendant, which immediately provided 21.5 energy, but jade is definitely different from jade.

Who is Lou Xiaoe?
Lou Bancheng's daughter, no matter how poor he is now, the dowry he gave for marrying his daughter is not much worse, and it is even more impossible to fool Xu Damao with a piece of broken jade.

Therefore, the jade pendant that has been absorbed by the game farm is very likely to be the best suet white jade.

Otherwise, just a piece of jade pendant would not be able to provide so much energy.

But if it is replaced by ordinary jade, the amount needed must be more.

And the reason why he made such an excuse, instead of wanting finished jade, is that even if the scraps of raw materials are found, there will be no hidden dangers.

Another one is cheap.

Finished jade, no matter how cheap it is, can be worth a few dollars a piece. A small quantity is fine, but once the quantity is too large, even he can't hold it.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly the most cost-effective to ask for unprocessed raw materials, or even scraps.

"The white flour?"

Zhang Yunshang turned his head to look at the things on the side.

"It's still sixty catties per month, and the previous price is still the same. I even try to find a way to get you some apples and wild pork every month. What do you think?"

A few apples are not in Li Weidong's eyes at all.

As for wild boar, he had some left in his warehouse.

It was because of roe deer meat and jackal meat that he hadn't eaten wild meat for a long time, so he gave some to Zhang Yunshang.

"Okay, then it's a deal, you will come back in three days."

Seeing that the deal was completed, Zhang Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is a bit troublesome, and you have to get Hetian jade for Li Weidong, but these can be done through normal channels, and there is no future trouble.

When Li Weidong returned home, he could still hear the 'cheerful' laughter of Yan Bugui next door in the front yard.

It is estimated that Yan Jiecheng's marriage is a great joy for this family.

In particular, Yan Bugui just lost a large sum of money and is eager to get back his money.

As long as Jia Lingling marries, she will become one with Yan Xie, and she will have to pay him for living in this house, eating, and daily life.

Even the large sum of money was recorded on Yan Xiecheng and his wife, and they will have to pay it back sooner or later.

Li Weidong put down his bicycle and was about to enter the house when he saw a figure emerging from the corner.

In fact, apart from Liu Guangtian, who considers himself Li Weidong's dog leg, no one else would do such a thing.

"Isn't it cold outside? It's warm inside."

Li Weidong opened the door and called Liu Guangtian in.

He was quite satisfied with Liu Guangtian, the younger brother who monitored every move in the courtyard for him, no matter whether the other party wanted to or not, they all helped him a lot.

"Brother Dong, it's still warmer in your room."

After entering the room tremblingly, Liu Guangtian let out a long breath.

Li Weidong had no shortage of charcoal, and when he left, he didn't seal the stove at all, and it wasn't completely burned inside.

Two shovelfuls of charcoal were added in, and the flames jumped up immediately, and when the lid was closed, there was a booming sound, as if it was about to explode.

Liu Guangtian felt the warmth in the room, and then looked at the surrounding decorations, with deep envy in his eyes.

Look at the place where people live, and then look at your own house. It doesn't matter if you live with your brother, the key is that there is no stove in the house, and you can only curl up in the bed at night in winter, and you dare not stretch your feet.

Sometimes when I wanted to fill a bottle of hot water at night, I kicked it with my feet, but I had to be reprimanded.

"It will be fine when you move out to live by yourself in the future."

Li Weidong remembered that Liu Guangtian's two brothers did something good later, they moved overnight, and they even said the famous saying that their parents are unkind and their children are unfilial.

"Move out by yourself?"

Liu Guangtian shook his head, he hasn't got a job yet, and he has no money, should he move out to drink the northwest wind?
Although he was scolded every day at home and the food was not good, at least he would not die of starvation.

All he wants to do now is to do more things for Brother Dong, get some benefits, and improve his life.

"By the way, Brother Dong, I came here this time to tell you something."

Now Liu Guangtian's eyes are focused on the front, middle and back yards. If anyone has something to do, he must know immediately. He is better informed than those girls who love to gossip.

"whats the matter?"

Li Weidong motioned for the other party to sit down, and then made tea for him in a tea mug, and the latter immediately took it with both hands with a look of great honor, and his face was full of gratitude.

Compared with his own father, Li Weidong obviously really treats him as a human being.

"Someone in the street introduced Shazhu to someone, and then Shazhu met him today. I think he looks like he's messing around."

Liu Guangtian immediately screened himself out and shared news that might be useful to Li Weidong.

"Introduction? Isn't that normal?"

Li Weidong didn't think the news was meaningful, after all, Sha Zhu's age was there.

"But I heard that the person was going to introduce him to Yan Jiecheng. I didn't expect that boy Yan Jiecheng to talk to a person himself, so he turned around and introduced it to Shazhu."

Liu Guangtian knew that Li Weidong didn't like Yan Jiecheng, so he deliberately told Li Weidong the news.

"It was originally introduced to Yan Jiecheng? What's the girl's name?"

Involuntarily, a name appeared in Li Weidong's mind.

"I only know that the surname seems to be Yu, and I will ask you when I get back." Seeing that Li Weidong was a little interested, Liu Guangtian said hastily.

"What do you mean asking me? Let's leave it at that."

Li Weidong shook his head.

Basically matched.

If the surname is Yu, then it must be Yu Li.

Obviously, without Jia Lingling, Yu Li would have been successfully introduced to Yan Jiecheng, and the two would have gotten married.

On the surface, it seems to be Jia Lingling's cause.

Actually, it was because of him.

As a traveler, he fanned his wings and changed the original trajectory.

If Yu Li could really marry Shazhu, it would be pretty good for her, much better than marrying Yan Jiecheng.

Seeing that Li Weidong was not very interested, Liu Guangtian felt a little disappointed.

The main reason is that nothing major has happened in the courtyard recently, they are all trivial matters.

It took him a lot of difficulty to select such a one out of them.

"Here, knowing the situation of your house, go out and eat some delicious food by yourself, and help me take care of the front yard when I'm not at home."

Li Weidong opened the drawer, took out half a catty of grain stamps, and twenty cents, and handed them all to Liu Guangtian.

These small food stamps were obtained from Zhou Xiaobai earlier, and they were stamped with the stamp that they were used in the current month and expired, so they had to be used up before the year.

Liu Guangtian looked at the heavy food stamps and money in his hand, and his nose felt hot.

Sure enough, Brother Dong was kinder to him than he was to Lao Tzu.

"Brother Dong, I..."

This time Liu Guangtian only felt that he deserved it, because his news didn't seem to be of much use.

"Take it, don't forget what I said."

"Brother Dong, don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will disturb your home."

Liu Guangtian clenched his hands tightly and said solemnly.

"Well, after drinking tea, warm up your body, and then go back."

Li Weidong nodded.

Although in the TV series, Liu Guangtian belongs to the kind of character who has not accomplished anything but failed to accomplish anything, but in Li Weidong's view, that is the wrong way to open up.

Moreover, as long as it is a person, it will have its role.

Usually, because he has to go to work on the farm, because the distance is too far, it is inevitable that there are some places that he cannot take care of.

With Liu Guangtian around, it doesn't matter if he doesn't need it at ordinary times. At critical moments, just playing a role is enough for Li Weidong to spend some change to support him.

What's more, Liu Guangtian is also good at inquiring about news.

"Thank you brother."

Although Li Weidong said so, Liu Guangtian felt that as a younger brother, it was not good for him to stay at Brother Dong's house for a long time.

What's more, in order to be a better little brother, he felt that on the surface, it was better not to get too deeply involved with Li Weidong.

In this way, when there is news about Li Weidong, others will not deliberately avoid him.

On Yan Jiecheng's side, he decided to spend more time.

Regardless of burning his mouth, Liu Guangtian left on tiptoe after drinking the tea quickly.

At this time, it was already dark outside, so he didn't have to worry about being looked at by others with his appearance.

The next day, Li Weidong rode a bicycle to the farm, and started a new day, a wonderful work life.

　Theoretically, my health is all right, just sit in front of the computer and keep sweating, let me rest for two more days, and get through this month.

　　From next month, let's work hard.
