Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

"Brother Zheng, let's find a place to rest."

The third child really didn't want to walk anymore. Shopping was too tiring and his legs were sore after a long time.

Liu Guozheng suggested: "Why don't we find a place to eat? It's time for dinner."

"Brother, why don't we go eat hot pot?"

Liu Guohao pointed to Donglaishun not far away and said.

"Don't worry about what you eat, as long as you can sit still."

The third brother said weakly.

"Then let's go eat shabu-shabu. It's been a long time since we last had it."

Lou Xiao'e's family is not short of money, and they used to be frequent visitors here.

The six of them ordered a pot and got a few plates of mutton, cabbage, spinach, etc. They also ordered some fried cream cakes and walnut cakes.

"Brother Zheng, this hot pot is delicious. When we return to the village, should we bring some back?"

The third child immediately fell in love with this way of eating, especially in the cold season, when three or five friends sit together, it feels great.

"This is a good idea, I support it."

Chen Xiaolan is also a foodie, so she naturally supports the third brother's suggestion.

"Let's ask where we can buy this kind of hot pot later. Let's buy two first. When we want to eat it later, we can eat it in the office."

Whether in his previous life or this life, it was the first time that Liu Guozheng had eaten this kind of clear soup hotpot. The mutton used for the hotpot included mutton tendons, big three, lamb brain, etc., some were fat and some were lean, with different tastes. Paired with Donglaishun's special dipping sauce, it was absolutely amazing.

"Brother Zheng, look, isn't that Jia Dongxu?"

He Yushui had sharp eyes and saw Jia Dongxu and Hou Si at a glance.

Liu Guozheng turned around and saw that Jia Dongxu was indeed leading a good life, eating hot pot and drinking wine. At this time, Jia Dongxu also saw Liu Guozheng.

Liu Guozheng smiled and ignored him since they were not familiar with each other anyway.

Seeing Liu Guozheng and his companions, and the things they ordered on the table, Jia Dongxu was filled with envy and jealousy.

Damn, people really can't be compared.

"Xiao Jia, do you know him?"

Hou Si naturally also noticed Liu Guozheng and his companions. After all, there were not many people as arrogant as them.

Jia Dongxu said bitterly: "Enemy."

"Oh?"

"Xiao Jia, look at how these guys are dressed, aren't they country bumpkins?"

Hou Si became interested. He had heard Jia Dongxu explain the reasons in the labor camp, but he didn't expect to meet this person here.

"Fourth brother, I am rich now."

"how to say?"

"Fourth brother, let me tell you, their village is called Hope New Village. They have set up an office in our Dongcheng District to sell pork and mutton. Their business is booming."

“How much can you earn in a day?”

"At least one hundred."

Jia Dongxu was a little uncertain, but he estimated that it was about the same.

"One hundred a day, that's three thousand a month, which is quite a lot."

Hou Si took a sip of wine, his little eyes started to roll, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"No matter how much you earn, it belongs to others. We can't even find a job. Come on, Fourth Brother, I toast you."

"Xiao Jia, do it."

The two raised their glasses and drank together.

"Xiao Jia, do you know where their office is?"

"Yes, it's not far from my home."

"So what time do they close?"

"They open at 5pm now, and basically everything is sold out before 7pm."

"Doesn't that mean they earned what others earn in three months in less than two hours?"

"You could say the same thing."

After hearing what Hou Si said, Jia Dongxu became even more depressed.

"Xiao Jia, you didn't forget the lock-picking skills I taught you, did you?"

"No, I remember it clearly. I even taught my son last night. Fourth brother, you know what, my son is better than me. He can learn it right away."

Hou Si looked at Jia Dongxu like he was a fool. Damn, there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Jia Dongxu looks like a smart person, but instead of teaching your son to study hard, you teach your son to pick locks? I don't know what you are thinking.

"Xiao Jia, others can earn so much in less than two hours, aren't you envious?"

"Fourth brother, what can we do if we are envious? They won't give us even a single cent."

"Xiao Jia, you have a mountain of treasure but don't even realize it."

"Fourth brother, what treasure mountain do I have?"

"Xiao Jia, with the lock-picking skills at my disposal, who would let you starve?"

"Ah? Fourth brother, what do you mean?"

"Yes, Xiao Jia, why don't we get a ticket and rob the rich to help the poor."

Hou Si looked around and the sound was so quiet that only the two of them could hear it.

"Fourth brother, we just got out, so we should find a job and live an honest life, right?"

"Looking for a job? Xiao Jia, you've been looking for two days now. Have you found a job?"

Jia Dongxu drank his wine sip by sip and fell silent.

"Xiao Jia, let's not do too much, just do one job and then stop, what do you think?"

After hearing what Hou Si said, Jia Dongxu immediately came to his senses. He knew that this was not a good idea. He would stop after doing one vote, which would be equivalent to the last vote, and the last vote would usually fail.

"Fourth brother, don't disbelieve me. Usually when someone says they're going to do it for the last time, something will go wrong."

"Xiao Jia, are you drunk? Who told you that?"

As Hou Si spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Jia Dongxu.

"Fourth brother, stop shaking, I'm not drunk."

In order to show that he was not drunk, Jia Dongxu stood up and walked a few steps.

"I'm not drunk, but you're talking nonsense."

Hou Si glared at Jia Dongxu.

"Fourth brother, do you know what happened before I went in?"

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Hou Si became excited. Oh my god, is there any hidden secret behind this?

"Xiao Jia, tell me about it, so that Fourth Brother can learn more about it."

"Fourth brother, this is what happened."

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Jia Dongxu recounted the entire cause and effect of the incident.

After hearing this, Hou Si was stunned. This was a bit mysterious.

"Fourth brother, do you think we can use this method?"

"Hiss...it's feasible."

"Then let's go to your place to discuss it and study it carefully."

"I can see it."

"Walk."

After they paid the bill, they left in a hurry.
