Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

"Teacher Yan, please watch the road."

Yan Bugui walked out of the office door and bumped into Wang Sigen.

"Four roots, Guangtian?"

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses, looked at the two people, and muttered in his heart: Could this old bachelor and Liu Guangtian also be looking for a job? No, I can't go back. I have to wait at the intersection and wait for them to come out to ask what's going on.

"Teacher Yan, you have to wait until people get off work to buy meat. Why bother if you don't want to eat meat?"

It has to be said that everyone who knows Yan Bugui knows who he is.

"Si Gen, how can you talk like that? Can't I just come to someone if I have something to do?"

After hearing what Wang Sigen said, Yan Bugui became unhappy.

"Okay, okay, come find someone, okay? I don't want to chat with you anymore. We have other things to do."

The two of them were busy all the way just to get what Liu Guozheng had asked them to do, and of course they didn't want to waste their time on Yan Bugui.

"Hello, comrade. We are here to see Comrade Liu Guozheng. We agreed on this at noon."

"go in."

Xu Fang naturally knew the two of them, and there was a record of everyone Xu Fang had met.

"Comrade Liu Guozheng."

"Is the matter settled?"

"Let's find out clearly."

“How much does the homeowner want?”

"The man said he wanted to have a face-to-face interview."

"Okay, you two can go with Xu Fang. It's still early, so you can go and complete the various formalities."

"Then you're not going?"

"Xu Fang wants to buy the house, so of course he has to go and see it himself. Don't worry, if this deal goes through, you two will definitely benefit."

"We thought you wanted to buy a house?"

"I have a place to live, I don't need to buy a house."

"Okay, let's go now."

"Once all the formalities are completed, you two can come again with Xu Fang."

"Ok."

Wang Sigen and Liu Guangtian took Xu Fang away.

"Si Gen, Guang Tian, ​​what are you doing?"

Yan Bugui had been waiting at the corner. He was eager to know why the two men were looking for Liu Guozheng.

"Teacher Yan, look at the time now. Why aren't you going to school yet?"

"Si Gen, don't worry about this. Tell me the truth, what are you going to do?"

Yan Bugui also knew Xu Fang and had met him more than once.

"Teacher Yan, do you know why Mrs. Gao from the courtyard next door lived to be a hundred years old?"

"why?"

"Because they don't mind their own business."

"You... Sigen, I'm just concerned about you and Guangtian."

"Come on, we both thank you for your kindness, you should just go do what you need to do."

Seeing that he could not get any useful information from Wang Sigen, Yan Bugui said to Liu Guangtian, "Guangtian, Uncle Yan knows that you are an honest child. Tell me, what are you going to do?"

"Uncle Yan, it's not that I didn't find any work today, so I followed Si Genliu and went for a walk."

"Guangtian, that's fine. You've become a cunning kid now. I'll go find Lao Liu to report this tonight."

"Okay then, as long as you're happy."

Seeing that he was about to be able to earn money steadily, Liu Haizhong could not scare him now. At worst, he would not come back and rent a house outside in the future. Just like his brother Liu Guangqi said: new society, new country, you earn your own money and spend it yourself.

"You...you guys...good, good, good."

Yan Bugui was so angry that he was speechless, and watched Wang Sigen and the other two walking further and further away.

"Ugh!"

Yan Bugui now feels that the whole world is full of malice, and nothing goes as he wishes today.

However, no matter how unhappy he was, he still had classes in the afternoon and had to go to school. He didn't want to be absent from work for an entire afternoon without a reason, as that would result in a deduction of wages. As for the physical strength and energy consumed by running back and forth today, he could just ask Yan Jiecheng to give him some compensation when he came back in the evening. In the final analysis, he was looking for a job for Yan Jiecheng.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui felt much more comfortable, and his steps became much lighter.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Fang, Wang Sigen and Liu Guangtian returned to the office again.

Liu Guozheng looked at Xu Fang: "Is it done?"

Xu Fang didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Since you guys are doing a good job, I'll give you a chance. Tell me, how many bottles do you want?"

Naturally, Liu Guozheng would not deny what he had promised before.

Wang Sigen asked cautiously, "Comrade Guozheng, please tell me the price first."

Liu Guangtian on the side was also a little nervous because he didn't even have ten dollars on him.

"The purchase price is eight dollars."

Liu Guozheng doesn't want to price the good wine he brews too low, as it is aimed at rich people.

The two discussed it for a while, and Wang Sigen was a little embarrassed, and asked in a questioning tone: "Here... shall we take two bottles first?"

Liu Guozheng asked, "Let's not talk about the number of bottles first. What price do you want to sell it for?"

"Ten dollars."

Liu Guangtian blurted out that in his opinion ten yuan was not a small amount. If he could make two yuan per bottle and sell one bottle every day, he could earn sixty yuan a month, which was beyond his psychological expectations.

"Comrade Liu, what do you mean?"

After all, Wang Sigen did eat a few more years.

"The suggested retail price is around 13-15 yuan."

"this.."

“Why do you think the price is low?”

"Why, it feels a bit high."

"Are you going to sell it on the black market?"

"Yes."

"There are all kinds of people on the black market. Isn't it a big risk?"

"Yes."

"The greater the risk, the more money you can make. Otherwise, why take the risk?"

Wang Sigen and Liu Guangtian were silent. They had not thought about this problem. They just wanted to get rid of the hopeless life they had before.

In their opinion, earning two dollars per bottle is already a lot.

"Let me tell you first, I only provide 20 bottles per month. Do you still think the price I suggest is high?"

"Not high, not high, not high at all."

The two of them shook their heads like rattles. They knew how to do the math themselves. Of course, earning twenty dollars a month would not be as much as earning fifty or sixty dollars.

"Since there is no objection to the price, let's talk about getting the goods."

"We can only take two bottles at a time. We have no place to put more than that. Also, we only have money for two bottles right now."

"Money and a place to live are not a problem. I have one condition."

"You say."

"When you are free, you can pay more attention to see if there are any houses for sale. If you successfully introduce them, you will not only receive rewards, but also provide you with free accommodation. As for the wine, you can buy it on credit first, and pay it off in one lump sum when you have money at the end of the month."

"We agreed."

"That's it. Xu Fang's courtyard can reserve two houses for you. Xu Fang's brother Xu Qing will also stay there. Xu Qing will be in charge of the wine and money matters."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much."

"You two must remember to keep secrets, whether it's wine or a house."

"Don't worry, we guarantee it with our lives."

"That's not the case. If there is something that cannot be solved, just tell Xu Qing and he will find a way."

"clear."

"Okay, that's it for today."

"Then you are busy."

After walking out of the office, the two still couldn't believe it. This actually happened. It also meant that they wouldn't have to worry about not finding work in the future.
