Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Somewhere in a courtyard

"Fourth brother, what do you think?"

Jia Dongxu and Hou Si were squatting on the ground. In front of them were two small white porcelain bowls with three black beans in them.

The method is good, but it depends on hand speed.

Hou Si understood it as soon as he started. As long as your hands are fast, there will be no problem.

But, it's not too stable. In this territory of Sijiu City, who knows if you will meet some strange person? If you increase the difficulty a little bit, it will basically be foolproof.

"Fourth brother, how about this? Isn't this a white porcelain bowl? Let's put a black dot in the bowl, the same size as the black bean. Will it be safe this way?"

"Xiao Jia, you are really good. Let's try it."

Hou Si really didn't expect that Jia Dongxu was quite smart.

The two began to experiment and study the techniques.

"Okay, that's it."

After practicing for a while, Jia Dongxu didn't guess it correctly at all, and Hou Si was quite satisfied.

"Fourth brother, let's go out and try now."

Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up; the opportunity to make a lot of money had finally come.

Hou Si asked: "Do you have the capital?"

"I don't have it, Fourth Brother, don't you have it?"

"Xiao Jia, I have used up all my money on food today."

"What should I do?"

"We can either borrow money or find a rich person to form a partnership."

"Fourth brother, isn't that giving money to others?"

"Xiao Jia, this cake is very big. If it's a big cake, don't think about eating it all by yourself, or you'll choke to death."

"Okay then, I'll listen to Fourth Brother."

"Don't worry, Xiao Jia, no matter who you find, your share will definitely not be missing."

"I don't trust others, so how can I not trust your fourth brother?"

"That's right. From now on, we two brothers can expect delicious food and spicy drinks."

"Yeah, Fourth Brother, when we make some money, let's go eat hot pot again. Order two of each dish, eat one and throw away one."

"Haha, you're amazing. Come on, Xiao Jia, I'll take you to borrow money."

Hou Si stood up, wrapped the two bowls in newspaper, put them in a shoulder bag, and carried it diagonally behind his back.

"Fourth brother, we don't need to bring these two bowls to borrow money."

"You don't understand this, right? Let me demonstrate it to you, and someone will bring the money to us without us even asking for anything."

Hou Si was very proud. He liked Jia Dongxu more and more. He thought he was his lucky boy. When he made money, he could give him more. Maybe there would be better ways to make money in the future.

The two of them went out humming their own tunes.

Jia Dongxu walked with his back straight and his head held high, secretly cheering himself up in his heart: I, Jia Dongxu, will get up from where I fell.

.................

After Liu Guozheng and his six companions finished their meal, they found a place that made custom copper hot pots and ordered a batch of them. When they returned to the village, they took them back with them and could make their own hot pots in the village in the future.

It takes some time to customize it, but they also have ready-made copper hot pots, so I bought two and used them at the office.

"Brother Zheng, you guys are back."

Xu Damao had been waiting at the office gate for quite a while. But he was not alone, because there were already many people queuing up to buy meat.

Liu Guozheng asked, "Da Mao, why are you back? Is there something wrong in the village?"

"It's okay. Li Dabao and I came back together. It's the end of the year now, and the factory called and asked us to come back for a meeting."

As Xu Damao spoke, he took the copper hot pot from Liu Guozheng's hand.

"Brother Zheng, we have this copper pot, let's have hot pot tonight."

"Okay, Dabao, will you come over today?"

"I'll definitely come. Besides, the dormitory at the textile factory is more comfortable than our office."

"That's true. However, Damao wants to eat shabu-shabu. You need to go buy some vegetables later."

"Got it, Brother Zheng."

As soon as he entered the house, the third brother slumped down in the chair again.

"Old Three, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Damao asked in confusion, everyone else came back full of energy, but the third brother looked like he was about to die.

"tired!"

The third brother didn't want to say anything more.

"Da Mao, why didn't Uncle Gu come back with you?"

Today is Sunday. We were originally planning to go out for a walk together, but Wenxiu missed Wen Niannian, so the two of them went back to Hope New Village.

Xu Damao said: "Uncle Gu said they came back with Xu Fang."

Since deciding to open at 5 o'clock, Xu Fang and Han Zhang moved their delivery time to the afternoon.

"Okay, let's all take a break. Damao, if you want to sleep, go to the west wing."

Among them, if there are any who are not tired, it is Liu Guozheng and Liu Guohao. Both of them have been strengthened by strengthening capsules, and their physical fitness is two to three times that of ordinary people.

"Okay, Brother Zheng, I'll go to sleep then."

Xu Damao didn't hesitate and went straight to the west wing.

The third brother and the others also went back to their rooms to rest.

It was not until 95: in the afternoon that Gu Nian and Wen Xiu returned. Instead of going back to Courtyard , they came directly to the office to help.

The afternoon goods were delivered and everyone started to get busy.

The doors opened at 5pm on time. They did not open earlier just because there was a queue outside. If we said 5pm, it meant 5pm.
