Siheyuan: Rebirth 52, intercepting Qin Huairu

For example, the coal coupons have been used up, and Qin Meiru needs to purchase silk thread, embroidery needles and other items to make clothes.

Based on the information provided by Nan Yi, he sneaked to a specific location outside the city at night.

Before arriving at the scene, Jia Haoyun knew that the police had indeed relaxed their inspection efforts - there were obvious small spots of light scattered on both sides of the road. Although the area was not large, the practice of openly and boldly lighting up the lights was enough to explain everything.

For safety reasons, he would of course disguise himself first and take out the suit he wore when walking outside.

He was wearing a leather hat, and his identity was difficult to distinguish under the dim light.

In order to prevent his identity from being exposed, he used a basket as a cover.

When he first arrived at the market, he first walked around the small night market. Although there were not many people selling food, the unit prices were generally high and most of the food was of lower quality.

Furthermore, high-quality or refined foods are more expensive, and most people would prefer to trade lower quality for more opportunities to fill their families' stomachs.

Although he did not need to use money to purchase items, he found several small merchants who traded with special invoices and quickly met his needs.

During this time, he unexpectedly met three old friends who had followed the yellow rat before, but because they met very rarely, they only met once after the experience of being almost caught.

Calculating the time, it has been more than a year. If Jia Haoyun's memory had not been improved, he would have found it difficult to accurately recognize their faces.

On the contrary, for them, they were overjoyed to have met a group of big bosses and to have such huge documents in their hands that were enough to affect the changes in business volume within a few days.

Does the absence of the yellow rat mean that it has changed its identity? Jia Haoyun did not pay much attention to this issue. After all, although there is a connection between them, it is more of a business cooperation at the substantive level.

After buying everything he needed, he didn't want to leave right away.

He was very interested in the countless vendors setting up stalls in front of him. Recalling the scene of doing business in the "Pigeon Market" when he first traveled through time, he directly found a secluded place and started his own selling activities like everyone else.

His supermarket has a wide range of goods and never has to worry about lack of stock.

In particular, the mountain products harvested from Xiaowang Village last year could not be processed in batches because contact with the yellow rats had been stopped.

This time, Jia Haoyun filled the basket with various mountain products and also wrapped a few slices of wild boar meat in it as an alternative for exchange.

This wild boar meat came from the mountains near Xiao Wang's village. Xiao Wang has been eating beef and mutton most of the time recently, and rarely eats wild boar meat.

Influenced by history and culture, pork does not seem to be as popular as beef and mutton in this era.

Qiannan

Before Jia Haoyun's shop opened for business, two people came to collect so-called "protection fees."

The two men probably realized that Jia Haoyun seemed to be a person with business dealings and not an ordinary person, so they contacted him first to get to know him, and then asked for a fee.

The fee is not much, only 50 cents.

Jia Haoyun didn't mind it at all. He never showed any cynicism towards such a situation. Instead, he paid the fee decisively.

The two left a note as a voucher so that Jia Haoyun could seek help from passing staff in the future if needed.

The transaction was successfully completed.

Now that the fees have been paid, the next goal is to make a profit return.

His merchandise was not cheap, so given his ordinary appearance, it was natural that I would not approach him to ask about the price.

Don't think that Jia Haoyun is a snobbish person.

This choice is made to reduce unnecessary verbal effort and save conversation time.

Soon, he successfully sold two pieces of meat, plus some other rare mountain supplies, the total value of which was quite considerable.

Although the specific price cannot be stated in one word and it may be difficult for ordinary people to afford these expenses, it is a great boost to Jia Haoyun's "reputation".

Before long, word of the "merchant's atmosphere" spread and attracted an unusual customer - a special visitor.

Of course Jia Haoyun knew this person, but the visitor did not remember who Jia Haoyun was - that was the "law enforcement officer" he had met in the cinema before, who had tried to catch him. Now this figure did not come to arrest him, but learned that meat was sold here and came to buy it.

"Brother Li, how did you get here this time?"

At this time, one of the three people who accompanied the visit came forward to introduce themselves.

This man was also an old acquaintance who had followed Huang Shu in doing business together in the past, and now they met again.

The middle-aged man thought for a moment, then nodded slightly without further conversation.

This surprised Jia Haoyun - this person has always been upright. Considering his social status and the influence that comes with it, why would he choose to patronize a small business here and also establish some kind of connection with this old friend?

The key point seems to be that their interaction patterns indicate some kind of deep cooperative relationship.

What happened during this period that caused this originally upright and principled person to become so "corrupted"?

"Give me some of your flesh for this 'management'.

"

The "ticket holder" spoke so brazenly.

Faced with the magnitude of this change, Jia Haoyun was a little caught off guard.

Back then, this ticket holder seemed to be doing things quite smoothly with Huang Shu, so why is he acting so strong now? And hasn’t the so-called “management fee” been paid yet?

“I have just paid the management fee.

"Jia Haoyun responded softly with a little surprise,

Then he took out the note with the voucher hidden in the handkerchief and showed it to the other party.

He picked up a bill at random, and saw the word "Brother" written in big letters on it.

As soon as he saw the word, he felt his heart skip a beat.

The source of fear once again descended upon him. Although they were partners in the same organization, ever since that notorious figure retired from the underworld, the "Red Wolf" had taken over his and the "Snow Fox's" management responsibilities and jointly established the current "Brotherhood Alliance", taking control of their original territory and power.

They were obviously more in awe of the name "Red Wolf", whose personality was much tougher than theirs.

This period is better.

In addition to their alliance with this notorious guy, they also had the privilege of managing a lake, with a good catch every day and making a lot of money.

However, when the purchase price gradually decreases, the selling price continues to rise, and the profit increases significantly.

The situation then gradually deteriorated - the water resources became scarce and the purchase price was too cheap, which led to little fishing activities around the lake.

They blame it on overfishing causing a decline in fish populations, which is, of course, a big factor in the problem, but not entirely.

As revenues continued to shrink, discontent within the organization began to grow.

The actual problem lies mainly in the ideological differences between him and the "White Fox", which is mostly due to their respective interests.

At this point, market supervision was relaxed and ** became lively again, which largely made up for the internal disputes.

Then, the two of them worked together to expand the scale of ** and absorbed many seemingly sophisticated members.

In fact, despite appearing to respect each other, "Red Wolf" and his friends actually look down on those seemingly respectful individuals.

In past years, they may have looked down on these individuals.

Faced with the growing pursuit of interests, the coexisting competition is becoming increasingly fierce.

Although they all claim to be members of the "Brotherly Alliance", in fact, they are all trying to grab their own areas and turf. For example, the ** of "Haohaoyun" is always divided into two forces in each round of opening, one side is called "Brothers (Brothers)", and the other side is called "Wolves".

Haha, at first they all seemed inclined to use the titles on the bills as identification of rank, but in reality it was a clever ploy to strengthen their respective powers.

At this moment, "Red Wolf" keenly noticed the change in this detail and discovered the problem in just a few days, which was enough to use this difference to make tactical deployment.

"White Fox", who has always regarded himself as the leader of the "Brotherly Alliance", makes his friends deeply angry.

He knew that when the time came, he would need to rally support.

However, the “Red Wolf” thought, “You are unworthy, just pay the rent with your flesh.

"

The middle-aged man, Brother Li, who came in, seemed to be preparing to say something.

In the end, he choked in his throat but still didn't utter any words.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't refute it - his family depended on him for financial support, and his children hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

He is an honest and decent man, and even in his heart he hates himself for who he is now, which makes him realize his predicament and the choices he has made.

All I could see was that the whole family could only eat some porridge every day, and the children cried loudly at night because they were hungry. In the end, they were forced to surrender to this poor life.

"Second brother, haven't I already given you the money? Why do you still need to worry about collecting the money?"

"Hey! Isn't this my big brother? I want to buy more meat for the kids!"

On the other side of the position, the white fox came over with two people.

They were holding the same tattered ball of paper in their hands.

After reading it carefully, they found that the two companions behind them were exactly the two toll collectors from before.

“Don’t call people the boss or the second master randomly.

White Fox, please don't embarrass yourself. I marked out this piece of land for you. Do you understand what I mean? "

The red-haired beast immediately showed a jealous expression and was very disgusted with the word "two".

He is completely different from his past self; recently, huge profits have completely controlled his mind.

Everyone dreams of being the boss, so why should you be the younger brother?

He used to be a responsible person, so how could he be satisfied with being a small assistant?

"Sure, Red Wolfhound, according to our prior agreement, this area will be divided by this tree as the boundary and the fees will be charged!"
