Break out of the courtyard

That night, Xu Damao rode a bicycle and took the Lou family and his daughter on a human-powered tricycle with gifts to find the small courtyard No. 7 on the north bank of Houhai.

He is very interested in the public toilet renovation project in Houhai!

In particular, on the first page of Zhang Heping's renovation plan, what if a big shot from the south could use the public toilets he sponsored and open the door to him in the future?

The key is that the funds required are not much. If you want to increase the probability of convenience, after the pilot is successful, you can promote the renovation of public toilets in Qianhai and Beihai in the south.

So, after he got the news, he came in person!

Although he had some dissatisfaction with the Zhang family boy before, personal gains and losses were nothing in the face of interests.

After Lou Bancheng entered the house, he looked at the layout of the Zhang family's main house in surprise.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Heping placing a white glazed teacup on the west side of the long table. After pouring half a cup of tea, Zhang Heping himself took a white glazed teacup and poured water into it. He sat down on the right side of the long table and placed the teacup on the north side of the long table. The first position was vacant.

This act of negotiating on an equal footing made Lou Bancheng quite satisfied.

However, the next moment, Xu Damao, a big fool, actually sat at the top of the table on the north side. He picked up the large green bamboo teapot with black characters and white glaze on the table, opened the tea lid and took a look inside.

"Oh! It's not tea foam!" Xu Damao hurriedly went to the mouth of the pot and smelled it, which made Lou Bancheng and Lou Xiao'e on the side feel embarrassed.

"What kind of tea is this?" Xu Damao didn't notice the expressions of his father-in-law and his wife, so he quickly took a teacup that was upside down on the plate and poured himself a large cup.

Zhang Heping raised his glass with a smile, invited Lou Bancheng, took a sip of tea, and then said: "Mingqian Longjing."

After hearing this word, Lou Bancheng, who had just picked up the tea cup, put the tea cup to his mouth without leaving a trace, sniffed it with his nose, and tasted it again...

The taste is sweet, the entrance is soft and fragrant, and it is a familiar taste.

However, it is not easy to get this kind of tea now!

Xu Damao took a sip, smacked his lips, and asked doubtfully: "I have only heard of Yuqian Longjing. Today is the first time I heard of Huqian Longjing. What is the difference between the two teas?"

"The one we drink was picked before the Qingming Festival." Zhang Heping put down the cup and smiled: "The other one was picked before the Grain Rain. I don't like tea, and I can't taste the difference between the two teas."

"Hey! You don't like it, but I do!" Xu Damao suddenly became interested. He thought about taking it to the Propaganda Department office to show off, and asked eagerly: "How much of this tea do you have left? Can you..."

"Ahem!" Lou Bancheng felt that he had lost all face. He had already decided not to take this embarrassing guy out next time. "Xiao'e, take Damao to check out the public toilet next to him first."

"Okay!" Lou Xiao'e, who was sitting at the bottom of the door, quickly stood up and pulled the excited Xu Damao out.

When Xu Damao was pulled out, Zhang Heping stood up and went to the low cabinet by the window and took out two glass jars. There was a little tea in each jar.

"One before dawn and one before rain. If Mr. Lou is not too little, you can take it back to find mountain spring water to try. It will definitely taste better than the tap water here." After Zhang Heping put the glass jar on the table, he sat back on the earthen kang. The location here.

"What a joke!" Lou Bancheng looked at the little tea leaves in the glass jar and sighed: "Now that supplies are in short supply, it's not easy to get these tea leaves!"

Zhang Heping didn't accept this. He pretended to be cool with the tea that Lao Liu gave him as a return gift during the New Year. He just wanted to make Lou Bancheng feel afraid so that he could do one thing.

The two exchanged a few words in the main room, and after Zhang Heping withdrew the pile of renovation plans, Lou Bancheng left with two glass jars in his arms.

……

On the shore of Houhai, Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao who were pushing bicycles were walking in front, while Lou Bancheng was walking in the middle holding two glass jars, thinking about something.

Followed by the Lou family's driver and Lou Bancheng's car, a human-powered tricycle.

"If you pick it three days early, it's a treasure; if you pick it three days late, it turns into grass." Lou Xiao'e explained to Xu Damao: "So, the market says that Yuqian Longjing is the top grade, and Mingqian Longjing is the treasure."

"Why don't they finish picking all the Longjing tea leaves before the Qingming Festival?" Xu Damao asked in confusion: "Also, how much more expensive is the Longjing tea before the Ming Dynasty than the Longjing tea before the Qingming Festival?"

Lou Xiao'e was helpless and continued to explain: "It's not about money now, it's about money that you can't buy these two kinds of tea!"

"Da Mao!" Lou Bancheng walked up quickly, holding two glass jars, and asked Xu Damao kindly: "Did Zhang Heping and his family encounter anything recently?"

Zhang Heping asked Lou Bancheng to sponsor the renovation of Houhai public toilets, not just because he was rich, but also because Lou Bancheng was scheming.

This guy Lou Bancheng was able to gain the reputation of "Bancheng" before the founding of the People's Republic of China, survive to this day after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and escape to Hong Kong Island in the future. He is not an ordinary scheming person.

Therefore, when Zhang Heping did not say when he would start renovating the public toilets, nor did he confiscate the little money that Lou Bancheng brought, Lou Bancheng couldn't help but think more about Zhang Heping's deeper intention of asking him to renovate the public toilets.

After all, there was still a little dispute between him and Zhang Heping.

Plus the two cans of tea that Lou Bancheng is holding now...

If this tea was sold on the black market, one tael of tea would be sold at a low price for one tael of gold, which meant that the boy from the Zhang family was not short of money.

Judging from the scarcity of these two cans of tea and the difficulty of obtaining them, it can be seen that the boy is not lacking in upper-class connections.

He was also able to persuade the sub-district office to renovate the public toilet next to his house, and pulled off a stunt to help the sub-district office attract sponsorship, which showed that his middle-level connections were not bad either.

In the end, only one layer of relationship remains...

Lou Bancheng thought of his burned car and the two thugs whose hands were crippled...

"His family is really in trouble!" Xu Damao suddenly became energetic. Luo Li first insulted the three uncles in No. 95 Courtyard, and then talked about how the Zhang family rose, Shazhu and Yi What bad things did Zhonghai do in it?

Finally, when Xu Damao talked about Zhang Cuishan's Courtyard No. 6 and expressed his own doubts, "I'm surprised. This was obviously reported by Shazhu's gang. Zhang Heping had the ability to deal with Shazhu, so why didn't he go back with revenge? Woolen cloth?"

When Lou Bancheng heard this, he understood!

Zhang Heping wanted to take revenge on Silly Zhu, but he didn't want to take revenge as simply as before. Instead, he wanted to borrow a knife through his Lou family...

It shouldn't be necessary to kill people, this little tea is not enough!

After Lou Bancheng figured it out, he put the glass jar on the human-powered tricycle, called his daughter Lou Xiao'e, handed her a wad of money, and whispered: "Tomorrow afternoon, you will give this money to Zhang Heping on my behalf."

……

The next day.

Zhang Heping went out hunting early in the morning, and it was not until after 3 p.m. that he arrived at Courtyard No. 95 carrying two sacks soaked in animal blood.

Mother Ma Xiuzhen seemed curious about what prey her son had caught. She walked quickly from the sewing stall to the bicycle. While opening the sack, she asked quickly in a low voice:

"Si Zhu's hands were broken, was it you?"

"No!" Zhang Heping shook his head with a smile, "They haven't messed with me recently, why should I hit them?"

With that said, Zhang Heping called his eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi over and asked him to take the two pieces of wild boar meat left in the sack and mince them into minced meat. Later, he would make pickled vegetables and fried meat, so that he could take some to school and share them with his classmates. , to bring closer relationships with classmates.

Just when Zhang Heping went to the vegetable cellar to put the plant ashes collected here into sacks, and was about to take two sacks of ashes on his bicycle to No. 7 Courtyard for fur processing, Lou Xiaoe came over.

"Zhang Heping, my father asked me to give this to you."

Glancing at the stack of Big Black Tens handed over by Lou Xiaoe, Zhang Heping looked at Lou Xiaoe and smiled:

"Sister-in-law, after I finish loading the plant ashes, I will take you to the Houhai Subdistrict Office to pay the sponsorship fee. Then you will be asked to sign for confirmation, and I will also give you a certificate of merit for good people and good deeds, hehe!"

During the gap between Zhang Heping and Lou Xiao'e talking, Silly Zhu had two white bandages hanging around his neck and his left and right hands tied with wooden boards in front of him. He was led by the deaf old lady with a distressed look on his face and Yi Zhonghai with a gloomy face. Entered the hospital.

When they entered Yi's house in the middle courtyard, Zhang Heping could still sense their conversation.

"Silly Zhu, Zhang Heping really didn't hit you this morning?"

"No! No! No! How many times have I said it, it's not that kid!" Silly Zhu looked depressed, angry, and had nowhere to vent. "It's two gangs of street gangs fighting for territory. I just said to them, a bunch of The idiots surrounded me."

"Zhuzi, what did you say?" Aunt asked curiously.

"I just said one thing, a bunch of unweaned brats, get away and beat them!" Silly Zhu said, and suddenly said bitterly: "I have memorized the looks of those grandsons, let me catch them next time If they're alone, let's see if I don't beat them to death."
