Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

In fact, the teahouse owner used some crooked ways to get rich, but after liberation, some crooked ways were banned. The teahouse owner, Na Hong, also wanted to retire and live a peaceful life for the rest of his life, and no longer do those businesses that made him worried.

He Daqing had just walked in. There were quite a few people drinking tea in the hall. It was getting late, and some wealthy people liked to drink tea and chat in the teahouse after dinner. They liked the atmosphere, and bird cages were hung on the wall. For people who liked birds, this teahouse was also a place for transactions.

Whenever a transaction is successful here, both the buyer and the seller will sit here and drink some tea to build relationships. This can also increase the income of the teahouse. There are many royal relatives in Baocheng. Some of the "royal relatives" in the Forty-Nine City are afraid of being liquidated by the people of the new dynasty, so they hide in this not-so-small city and continue to enjoy the benefits brought to them by their ancestors.

He Daqing sat in a corner and looked at two people at another table. One was old and the other was young. The old man took out a small bag from his pocket with a smile, opened his handkerchief and found a jade ring inside. The young man wanted to take the jade ring from the old man, but a middle-aged man said, "Xiao Wu, there is a saying that jade cannot be passed on to the hand. What you said is a bit too presumptuous."

The middle-aged man said to the old man, "Grandpa Jin, this child is relatively young. Please bear with him." The old man named Grandpa Jin smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Children can be forgiven for doing wrong. Boy, take a good look at this thing in my hand to see if it is good or not! Don't ruin the reputation of your Boguge."

If Old Lady Long was here, she would definitely know the identity of this young man. He was the owner of the Shaodongshi where Old Lady Long put the things, and the next head of the Wu family. Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Uncle Wu, I'm just a little excited. I haven't seen such good things for a long time, and I'm a little excited. I forgot the rules of our business, please forgive me, please forgive me."

The old man put the wrench and handkerchief on the table next to him. Xiao Wu quickly picked them up and observed them in his hand. He nodded with a smile and said, "It's really good. It looks like an old thing. It can be from the middle and late Qing Dynasty. It looks like mutton-fat white jade. It is indeed a very good thing. Since you are an expert, I can't fool you. Do you think I am right?"

Grandpa Jin squinted his eyes and nodded, and said with a smile, "Is there anything else you can see?" Xiao Wu put the jade ring to his nose and smelled it, then frowned and said, "Could this thing come from underground?" The middleman Uncle Wu coughed, and the young man Xiao Wu shut his mouth.

Xiao Wu looked around and found that no one around them was paying attention to their table. Then he whispered, "Old man, you dare to sell things from the ground. You are really too bold, this thing, this thing?"

Grandpa Jin smiled and said, "Boy, when will you, Boguge, take the things? Why are you so slow? Don't you dare to take this thing? If you don't, I'll leave." Grandpa Jin was about to leave, and Xiao Wu quickly said, "No, no, no, please name a price. Don't say that this thing is worn on the hands of a dead soldier. Even if it is a fart plug in his asshole, we, Boguge, dare to take it."

Grandpa Jin nodded in satisfaction, and looked at Xiao Wu with a hint of admiration. After thinking for a while, he said, "That's right, kid. If you just do business quietly, you won't make any money at all. Your old boss and I..." Grandpa Jin sighed and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's negotiate the price."

The sleeves of the two men were very wide, and they smiled and put their hands into their sleeves. Wu Yanping stretched out two fingers, and Jin Ye smiled and shook his head, and stretched out four fingers. The two of them went back and forth for most of the day, and then they burst into laughter.

The boss, Na Hong, was a man in his 50s. Seeing that the deal was done, Na Hong came over with a smile, cupped his fist and said, "Congratulations, gentlemen. Congratulations on your prosperity." The two men were also very happy and simply invited Na Hong to come over. The four of them drank and chatted.

After a while, the middleman, Uncle Wu, asked to leave. After all, today's deal had already been done, and as a middleman, he should retire. Na Hong took the two of them to a private room, asked the waiter to bring a bottle of wine, and then went outside to buy some snacks. The three of them ate and chatted.

The three people knew each other. Although Xiao Wu was the younger, their families were old friends, and Xiao Wu's father was also their friend. Naturally, they were all familiar with each other. Na Hong took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Xiao Wu and said, "Boy, help your uncle deliver a letter. Give this letter to your father, and your father will know who to give it to."

Xiao Wu was already drunk and his face was red, so he nodded and agreed. Mr. Jin asked Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, how are my old brothers and friends in the city doing now? Have they been liquidated by the new government? What is the government's attitude towards them?"

Xiao Wu thought for a while and said, "It should be okay. They handed over their own house, and the government didn't make things difficult for them. They gave them a place to live and found them jobs! I also heard that as long as people are capable and pass the assessment, they can work for the new government. In short, it's not bad. There is no discrimination, and no one has been killed for no reason."

Na Hong curled her lips and said, "Bullshit, we men used to have maids and servants when we went in and out. Even in the Republic of China, we still had people serving us. What the hell is this equality now? What equality is this? Our ancestors worked so hard to create this foundation, why should those poor and miserable Koreans be equal to us?"

Jin Ye waved his hands helplessly and said to Na Hong, "Be careful, kid. Be careful of what you say." Na Hong said with red eyes, "Humph, why are you afraid of him? I tell you two brothers, the person who talked about the president has already found me and wants to accomplish great things with me. I have a lot of people under me. Do you want to work with me? Then we will be founding heroes."
