Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

When everyone in the courtyard went home to sleep, Yi Zhonghai quietly came to the backyard and knocked on Wang Sigen's door.

"Who the hell is this?"

Wang Sigen was very depressed. He had just got into bed with his wife and was about to take the next step when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Wang Sigen asked unhappily, but no one answered from outside the door.

No one answered, and Wang Sigen didn't think about getting up. It was still comfortable to stay in bed in such a cold day. But just as he lay down, there was another knock on the door.

"Made."

Wang Sigen was so angry that he lay on the bed and waited for a while. The knocking on the door continued. He had no choice but to get up, otherwise he would not sleep well.

"Yi Zhonghai, are you sick? Who are you asking? You don't say anything and just keep disturbing people here?"

With the help of the light, Wang Sigen saw clearly that the person knocking on the door was Yi Zhonghai.

"Si Gen, how do you talk to me?"

Wang Sigen spoke with anger, which was naturally unpleasant to the ear. Yi Zhonghai was quite unhappy when he heard it. After all, he was also the former uncle. Even if you, Wang Sigen, live a good life, you cannot disrespect me, the former uncle, right?

"Yi Zhonghai, do you see what I have in my hand?"

As he spoke, Wang Sigen shook the shovel in his hand. He had prepared it when he came out, just in case.

"You... Sigen, let's talk it out. Let's talk it out."

Yi Zhonghai was also afraid. It was pitch dark and if Wang Sigen got angry and hit him on the head with a shovel, he would have no chance to reason with him.

Wang Sigen said in a very aggressive tone: "Yi Zhonghai, if you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart."

"Si Gen, sell me two bottles of your good wine."

Yi Zhonghai looked around while speaking, like a thief.

"Haha, Yi Zhonghai, you are such an interesting person. I used up all the wine when I got married."

One must always be on guard against others, especially those people in the courtyard. Wang Sigen naturally knows what kind of people they are.

"Si Gen, I heard that the wine was sold by you on the black market."

"Yi Zhonghai, Master Yi, go find whoever told you that. I don't have the ability to get such good wine. If you can get it, please bring me two bottles."

"No, Sigen, it's really not you?"

"Master Yi, we are neighbors in the same compound. Do I need to lie to you?"

"You really didn't lie to me?"

"Master Yi, look at yourself, you don't believe it, do you? Think about it carefully, when have I, Wang Sigen, ever lied to anyone?"

"That's true, Sigen. You didn't sell the wine, so how did you make so much money? Did you do anything illegal? You should know that no matter what you did, the police station would be able to find out with just one check."

"Yi Zhonghai, are you threatening me?"

"Si Gen, this is your fault. I was just afraid that you would go the wrong way."

"Hehe, Yi Zhonghai, don't worry, I will definitely not be like Jia Dongxu."

Wang Sigen, who is known for his sarcasm, can do the same.

"you you you"

It's dark now and I can't see Yi Zhonghai's expression clearly, but it certainly doesn't look good. Even if Jia Dongxu is not his eternal pain, at least Yi Zhonghai has never let it go in his heart.

"Okay, Yi Zhonghai, I also bought that wine on the black market. Now is the right time. You can go and have a look. If you're lucky, you might be able to come across it."

Wang Sigen didn't want to argue with Yi Zhonghai here. It was a cold day and his wife was still waiting in bed. Another important reason was that he could never admit that he sold alcohol on the black market, and he could never sell alcohol to Yi Zhonghai, at least not at home. If Wang Sigen dared to sell a bottle of alcohol to Yi Zhonghai tonight, the police station would receive a report letter tomorrow.

"Si Gen, I know you have always been a good person, respecting the elderly and loving the young, and you have never failed. Can you..."

"No."

Yi Zhonghai was interrupted by Wang Sigen before he could finish his words.

"Si Gen, I haven't even finished my sentence yet and you're already making it boring."

"Alright, alright, you don't have to tell me I know you want me to accompany you to the black market. I'm sorry, I really can't do this. Bye."

Without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to speak, Wang Sigen immediately closed the door, and at the same time did not forget to bolt it.

"dong dong dong"

Yi Zhonghai was unwilling to give up and continued knocking on the door.

"Yi Zhonghai, try knocking it again. Believe it or not, I will give you a shovel."

"Si Gen, then tell me where the wine seller is?"

"On the corner south of the Black Market intersection."

Yi Zhonghai knew the location of the black market, and he would go there from time to time. The so-called crossroads was the center of the black market. It was a place with many connections, and there were absolutely no dead ends or dead ends nearby. The location was chosen so that when there was a surprise inspection, it would be easy to run away. There would be a swarm of people from all directions, and you could run as you wish.

Yi Zhonghai returned home quietly, put on another piece of clothing, found a long scarf to cover his head, leaving only his eyes exposed, and quietly left the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai was fully prepared, but what he didn't know was that this trip was doomed to fail.

You know, the Chinese New Year is only one month away, and many people who want to give gifts have started collecting good cigarettes and alcohol everywhere. Wang Sigen and Liu Guangtian’s share of this month had already been booked last month.

Of course, with so much wine, someone must have other ideas.

They deliberately buy used wine bottles at high prices, buy some loose baskets from supply and marketing cooperatives, refill and seal them, and sell them on the black market to make huge profits.

It was a good idea and it worked the first time.

However, it was not a success, because the next day, those who sold fake liquor had their legs broken and were thrown into the garbage dump.

In the future, anyone who dares to forge information will, without exception, have both legs broken or suffered comminuted fractures, and will have to rely on a wheelchair or crutches to walk for the rest of their lives.

As time went by, no one dared to counterfeit goods on the black market anymore.

The price of wine is getting higher and higher.

The price for acquaintances is 15, and the price for reservations is 20.

This also made Wang Sigen and Liu Guangtian earn a lot of money.

However, Xu Damao and Li Dabao did not earn that much. Most of their wine was provided to small leaders at all levels in their factory, and was basically sold at a fair price of 15 yuan a bottle.

Now Xu Damao and Li Dabao are quite popular in their respective factories.

In addition to being able to fully complete the monthly purchasing tasks, they can also provide some good wine. The two are also generous. Like Liu Guozheng, their pockets are never short of candy, especially the very popular milk candies and soft candies. The happiest time of each month for the girls and aunts in logistics is when Xu Damao and Li Dabao return to the factory for meetings, because they can eat good candies at that time.

Lu Ming from the textile factory has been promoted to deputy director in charge of logistics. He has tried many times to promote Li Dabao, but Li Dabao simply said that he only wanted a salary increase and that he was not fit to be a leader. This made Lu Ming very angry every time.

Xu Damao is the same, he has been promoted to section chief, but he is just a figurehead and does not take care of anything. Xu Damao is quite satisfied with his current life, he does not want to be tied to the factory every day.
