Siheyuan: All the incense in the family is counting on you

The few people walked away gradually, and I could no longer hear what they were saying.

Li Bowen's ears almost stood up to the sky, and he was so excited, this was a way to make money.

I'm worried about what to do with the things in my space.

It just so happens that I'm going back to my hometown this weekend. I'll tell my grandfather and third uncle about it and ask them to collect some things from the village and add some to my own space. Anyway, they are all unplanned supplies and no one will really trace their origins.

Wouldn’t it be possible to make a lot of money this way?

Moreover, my hometown guards the Ming Tombs Reservoir. People were not allowed to enter in later generations, but now no one cares. I can get a scoop net and go down to the reservoir to scoop up a lot of fish and shrimps.

It’s a pity that there are no high-power batteries now, otherwise it would be faster to directly electrocute fish.

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. The only problem was who should he contact to get the things back? He didn't know anyone in the purchasing department, and if he went up to them rashly, they might not even pay attention to him.

The only person he knew and could talk to was He Yuzhu, the chef in the cafeteria.

Well, let’s do it and go find He Yuzhu. After making up his mind, Li Bowen put out his cigarette and returned to the workshop.

When I got off work in the evening, I asked my uncle for five dollars, let him go home first, and I went straight to the cafeteria.

After arriving at the cafeteria, He Yuzhu was indeed still there, busy in the kitchen.

"Brother Zhu, are you busy? Are you almost done?" Li Bowen leaned over the window where he got food and looked inside.

He Yuzhu raised his head and said, "It's Bowen. Why don't you go home after get off work? What are you doing in the cafeteria?"

"I have something to ask you!"

"Oh, then go sit for a while, I still have two dishes to finish!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the restaurant!"

After Li Bowen left, Liu Lan came up and leaned against He Yuzhu with her shoulder: "Silly Zhu, who is this?"

"Why are you interested in her? You have no chance. She's still young. Besides, you already have a man!" He Yuzhu joked.

"Go away, get out of here, you can't talk properly!"

"Li Bowen, he lives in the same courtyard as me! He works as a fitter in the second workshop!"

"Oh, then you have to stay away from him when you go on blind dates in the future!" Liu Lan said with a smile.

"why?"

"Why else? Look at how he looks, and then look at how you look. After seeing him, which girl would be attracted to other guys?"

"Superficial, you girls only look at faces!"

Liu Lan curled her lips: "You men don't care about appearance? Then why are you all running to the infirmary and the radio station?"

He Yuzhu picked up the pot and began to serve the dishes: "I can't argue with you, but you are right. Both men and women like pretty ones. Now, serve the dishes!"

After serving the dishes, Liu Lan came back and said, "That's right, does Li Bowen have a girlfriend?"

"Not yet. Why do you want to introduce one to him?"

"There is a pretty girl in our alley who is a good match for Li Bowen. If he is willing, I will act as a matchmaker for him!"

He Yuzhu was anxious: "Come on, Liu Lan, do you think he is the kind of person who has trouble finding a partner? If you have a good girl, come to me first!"

Liu Lan looked He Yuzhu up and down and said, "You have no chance. That girl has high standards and probably doesn't like you!"

"Don't worry about whether you like it or not, just meet me first. How about I bring you an extra lunch box every day?"

Liu Lan's eyes lit up: "Really? Don't fool me!"

"That's a must, buddy, spit is a nail!"

"Okay, then I'll introduce you to it!"

After cooking the last dish, He Yuzhu took off his apron, placed it on the chopping board beside him, picked up the teacup and walked out, leaving his apprentices to clean the stove.

"Bowen, what do you want from me?"

"Are we ready to go? Let's go find a place to have a drink." Of course, you can't just talk when asking someone to do something for you.

He Yuzhu was a little surprised: "It seems that the matter is not small, wait, I will go to take a look, if everything is ok, we will leave!"

After entering the kitchen for a few minutes, He Yuzhu came out again: "Let's go, there's nothing else to do!"

After leaving the steel mill, the two men found a fly-in-the-wall restaurant in Nanluoguxiang, ordered two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, a plate of peanuts, and a bottle of white wine.

"Brother Laizhu, let me toast you first!" Li Bowen picked up the glass.

He Yuzhu was not polite either. He clinked the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" He Yuzhu asked after eating two bites of food.

"It's nothing serious. I just want to ask you who is responsible for the procurement of your cafeteria? Do you have a say?"

"Is that all? I thought you wanted to borrow money from me." He Yuzhu joked, "The canteen's supplies are managed by the purchasing department, but the department is not very good at purchasing goods now, so we can't buy anything. How do you have connections there?"

"Well, my hometown is near the Ming Tombs Reservoir. I want to go back there on the weekend. If I can bring back some fish or shrimp or something, I can earn some money!" Li Bowen explained.

"That's great. If you can really get it, I will help you sell it to the factory. The price will definitely be higher than the market price!" He Yuzhu patted his chest and promised.

Hearing him say this, Li Bowen also became excited: "Really? If we can sell it to the factory at a high price, we can split the money that Brother Zhu earns in half!"

"No, no, I'm just helping you, how can I share your money?"

"How can you ask someone to work without paying? You have to pay, or I'll find someone else!"

The two of them talked about being humble for a long time, and finally decided that as long as Li Bowen could get it, He Yuzhu would be responsible for selling it, and the profit after deducting the cost would be 30% and 70% respectively, with Li Bowen taking 7% and He Yuzhu taking 3%.

As for adding another channel, besides wanting to save himself trouble, there is another point, that is, speculation is a very serious mistake nowadays. If he lets He Yuzhu go, he can be more covert and have less risk.

A bottle of wine for two people.

They discussed money-making plans with great enthusiasm and drank happily.

Before I knew it, it was already nine or ten o'clock.

The owner of the fly restaurant sat bored in the aisle between the kitchen and the dining room, looking at the two people with helplessness in his eyes.

After looking around, he realized that his table was the only one left. Li Bowen said, "Let's go. We are the only ones left. The shopkeeper will be anxious soon!"

He Yuzhu also looked back and forth at this time: "Let's go! Boss, come to settle the bill, we are leaving!"

The boss let out a long sigh and walked forward.

After coming out, Li Bowen said with a smile: "Fortunately it's not in a large state-owned store, otherwise we would have been kicked out long ago!"

"Hahaha, not really! The slogan is just written!"

The two of them walked back to the courtyard arm in arm. When they entered, the old lady was looking out the door.

"Where have you two been? Why are you back just now?"

"Auntie, Brother Zhuzi and I are going to eat out!"

Smelling the alcohol on the two men, the aunt asked with concern: "You didn't drink too much, did you?"

"It's okay, I only drank half a pound of wine!"

"Half a pound is not much, come in quickly, I'll make you some strong tea to sober you up!"

"I won't drink, Aunt Li. I'll feel sleepy after drinking a little. I'll go back to sleep first!"

"By the way, Zhuzi, your sister Yushui is back!"

"Really? Then I'll go and take a look. It's not the weekend yet, so why are you back early?" He Yuzhu walked quickly towards the central courtyard.

The old lady shook her head and said, "This Zhuzi is so careless. How can he raise a good sister like this?"
