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

After chatting for a while, it was almost time to make dinner.

Li Bowen stood up and said goodbye. His family was not well off at the moment. If he stayed here any longer, people would cook for him or not. It would be an eyesore if he stayed.

"It's time for dinner, Mr. Li, please don't leave. We can have a drink together!" The hunter still politely tried to persuade him to stay.

"No, don't be polite with me. Fox and I are childhood friends. I came here today to visit him. I just happened to come and talk to you about this. I have to go to his place!" Li Bowen explained as he walked out.

This reason was sufficient, so the hunter did not try to persuade him to stay: "Okay, then we'll stew the meat after I get the prey back!"

"Hahaha, okay, it's settled!"

When they returned to the fox's house, the fox's wife and Chen Qiao had already started preparing dinner together.

Li Bowen went to the kitchen door and looked inside: "What are you doing?"

"Big pot food, now there is a lot of cabbage!"

"We're here and you didn't even bother to do something nice for us!"

The fox wife looked up and glanced at him: "I was thinking, how about cutting a piece of your body and frying it?"

Li Bowen smiled and said, "My meat doesn't taste good, why don't you try a piece of it!"

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. This place is so small, go and help look after the children! The meal will be ready soon." Chen Qiao pushed Li Bowen out with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go see my godson!"

After a while, the sound of the gate opening was heard outside, and the fox came back pulling a cart.

Li Bowen carried the child over to help him open the door: "Why is it so late every day?"

"That's about right. Now I've contacted Lao Zhu and the others first, and then we'll go deliver the goods. It's safer when it's almost dark!"

That's true. It's definitely not okay to sell things openly in the village. Ask in advance and deliver the goods when there are fewer people. Those who know about it will pretend not to know, which greatly increases safety.

I didn’t expect these three people to have such brains. Well, Li Bowen doesn’t have to worry about them anymore.

"Are there many left?"

The fox took the large basket off the cart and put it in the house: "Here are some more, enough for three to five days. Have you got any new food?"

Looking at the food that was already half delivered, Li Bowen nodded. It seemed that the business was very good. "It will arrive in a few days. Come to the city to find me on Sunday. It will definitely be delivered by then."

"Okay, if they're sold out in advance, we'll register them first, and we can deliver them directly when we come back!"

After everything was cleaned up, the food was prepared. The cabbage, vermicelli and tofu stewed together was a famous dish, except for the lack of pork. There were quite a few eggs, so Chen Qiao and the others also made a plate of scrambled eggs and steamed rice.

The four of them gathered around the dining table and feasted on the meal.

After finishing the meal, he told the fox about this purchasing mission and asked him to hurry up and prepare, and then he left the fox's house.

When he came back, Li Bowen had an extra bag in his hand. Inside was all the things that Fox and the others had collected in the past few days. There were no big items, just some silver dollars, rings, silver bracelets and the like. He didn't look at them carefully, but gave them all to Chen Qiao, got on the bike and took her back.

The house always left the door open for them. They pushed the tricycle into the yard, bolted the door, went into the house, said hello to their grandparents, and then returned to their own room. The couple lit a lamp and checked the contents of the bag under the oil lamp.

"Bo Wen, what are you going to do with these things?" In Chen Qiao's eyes, these things can't be eaten or used, so how can they be as precious as food.

Li Bowen picked out a very good bracelet and put it on Chen Qiao: "You don't understand this, these things are antiques, they are useless now, but they will definitely be valuable in the future."

"I still feel like I've lost out! Food is so precious nowadays!" Chen Qiao shook her wrist and looked at the bracelet on her wrist.

I really like it, but I just feel it's not worth it.

"We don't lack food at home. The difficulties will only last for a short period of time. If you want to exchange food for these things, it won't work!"

Li Bowen said as he checked, he actually saw a good thing inside. In addition to those silver dollar rings, there was also a bronze mirror in the bag. The mirror surface was so rusted that it could not reflect people, but the cloud and thunder pattern carvings on the side were very beautiful. It was estimated that Fox and the others took it because of this.

Li Bowen didn't know what dynasty this bronze mirror came from, but if it was not a replica of later generations, it must be hundreds or thousands of years old. If he wanted to know its age, he would have to find someone to authenticate it. If it was really an old item, he would make a fortune.

I get excited just thinking about it, and I keep looking at it up to the light.

Chen Qiao felt a little bored and said, "I really don't understand why you like these things!" She stopped following him in taking inventory and got up to make the bed and fetch some water to wash up.

When everything was ready and Li Bowen was asked to wash up with a towel, he reluctantly put down the bronze mirror.

……

This time it was a sudden decision to come back. Li Bowen did not stay at home for too long. He returned to the city after three days. The main reason was that the rice at Fox's place was about to be sold out, so he had to go back quickly to prepare the stock. Making money could not wait.

When I was at home, I had already handed the bronze mirror to Wu Lei and arranged for him to purchase another batch of rice.

Now that the goods have arrived, Li Bowen has to go back and put the rice in the yard, waiting for the Foxes to come and get it. Wu Lei prepared a little more this time. He went back to the yard and took out all the rice. There were more than a hundred bags that filled up half of the room.

After repeatedly confirming that the door was locked, Li Bowen returned to Nanluoguxiang with peace of mind.

After arriving home, Li Mei ran out excitedly and grabbed Li Bowen: "Brother, brother, you are finally back!"

"What's wrong? Did something happen at home?" Li Bowen asked curiously.

"Of course something happened, but maybe it's a good thing!"

Li Bowen was even more puzzled: "What do you mean by 'certain'?"

The old lady spoke at this time: "That girl Yu Li came to the house to look for you!"

"Oh, really? What did she say?" Li Bowen immediately became curious.

"What else can I say? You're not here. But from what she said to us, I can tell that she seems to have figured it out. There shouldn't be any problem. Go ask her tomorrow!"

You figured it out so quickly. I thought it would take some time. Li Bowen nodded: "Well, I'll go over and take a look tomorrow!"

The next afternoon, after hanging around in the factory for half a day, Li Bowen left his post and ran to the textile factory.

When the people from the textile factory security department saw Li Bowen coming, they were still very enthusiastic. After he sat down in the room, someone started to take credit: "Bowen, how are you going to thank us?"

"What do you mean by thank you?"

"You are pretending to be confused, right? If we hadn't helped you with Yu Li, you would still be stuck now!"

"You guys help? No, I've been in the countryside these days and haven't seen Yu Li yet!"

Several people were shocked: "Is this true? You still have the mood to go to the countryside after all this."
