Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

"Ah, the living conditions these days are really hard to describe!"

When he woke up, Han Li felt sore in his back and waist, and uncomfortable all over.

Actually, it's no wonder. Three brothers squeezed into one bed. The bedding was not only worn out but also thin. Sleeping on it was not much different from sleeping on the bed board.

The most terrible thing is the sanitary conditions at that time. It’s so sad to talk about it.

At this moment, Han Li missed the soft and large spring bed in his rental house in his previous life very much. Even more, he missed the delivery boy in a yellow robe and the mobile phone that could bring him happiness.

Since you are here, you should make the best of it. You can't go back by complaining about the world. You have to find a way to fill your stomach first.

Just because my stomach started to protest again.

Speaking of eating, Han Li couldn't help but think of the half roast duck he had last night. The taste was so delicious that it was unbearable.

Recalling the taste of the roast duck, he suddenly remembered that he had not yet collected the consultation fee from last night's visit.

It was still early and no one in the front or middle yards had gotten up yet.

When Han Li arrived at the central courtyard, he immediately saw the pool, and his mind unconsciously thought of the famous scene in the Siheyuan, Huairu washing clothes.

Thinking of Qin Huairu's feelings, Han Li looked at the Jia family unhappily: "This bastard Jia Dongxu got a bargain!"

Arriving at Sha Zhu's house, Han Li tried to push the door and it opened directly.

But the moment the door opened, a strong smell of urine hit him in the face, making Han Li quickly cover his nose and take two steps back.

Looking carefully into the room, I saw Shazhu lying on the ground like a mud pig, and the ground was also wet.

Although Shazhu looked embarrassed, his eyes were very clear and contained a strong hint of begging.

He tried to open his mouth to say something, but his throat was hoarse and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

But soon, the shrewd Sha Zhu took great pains to write large crooked words on the clean ground: I'm sorry, I was wrong.

No one knows what kind of dark moment Sha Zhu went through that night that forced him to lower his proud head as the god of war and admit his mistakes to others.

"Damn, you really shot yourself in the foot!"

Han Li cursed, pinched his nose, and walked over, suppressing his nausea. He said with a look of disgust, "Open your mouth!"

Sha Zhu thought that the next round of torture was coming and wanted to refuse, but he had to bow his head under the eaves and had to open his mouth resigned to his fate.

The next moment, Han Li took out a black pill the size of a soybean and threw it into Sha Zhu's mouth. Then he ran to the door at lightning speed.

It's really suffocating!

Miraculously, not long after taking the pill, Sha Zhu felt that his body gradually regained strength and he was able to stand up.

This is why Han Li got up early. He could torture Sha Zhu secretly, but he couldn't make it public. Otherwise, he would be branded as a quack doctor, and it would be inconvenient for him to continue to play the pig and eat the tiger in the future.

"Since you sincerely repent, I will show my mercy and forgive you. What happened yesterday is over. However, you have to pay the consultation fee for last night first. Don't worry, I won't ask for much, 1 yuan will be enough."

The exchange rate between the first set of RMB and the second set of RMB is: 1.

In other words, ten thousand yuan of the first set of RMB is equivalent to one yuan of the second set of RMB, one thousand yuan is equivalent to ten cents, one hundred yuan is equivalent to one cent, and ten yuan is equivalent to one cent.

The reason why the first set of RMB is so worthless is naturally because before liberation, the micro-manipulation master Chang frantically printed money and issued banknotes, leading to serious inflation.

At that time, the largest denomination of legal tender even reached a staggering 60 billion, but this 60 billion was only enough to buy a box of matches. It was common to see magical scenes of people holding bundles of legal tender to buy things.

What’s worse, even beggars are unwilling to pick up money that falls on the ground.

If you are interested, you can search it.

To get back to the point, in order to hedge against the severe inflation at the time, the face value of the first edition of RMB was relatively large (I originally wanted to use the second set of RMB directly, but then I thought about it and realized that a single month's salary was hundreds of thousands, so it was still quite interesting).

"You tortured me for a whole night, and you still have the nerve to ask for medical fees!"

Of course, Shazhu could only think about these words in his mind. He didn't have the courage to say anything and just took the money honestly.

A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. At this moment, Sha Zhu just wants to get through this hurdle first. Otherwise, if he continues to be tortured, he might not see the sun tomorrow.

After receiving the medical fee, Han Li turned around and left. He really didn't want to stay even a second longer.

Before leaving, he only said: "Hurry up and clean up. If others see you in this shabby state, you will never get married in your life."

After escaping from Sha Zhu's house, Han Li did not return to the outer courtyard, but rushed to the backyard and knocked on Xu Wude's door.

A grumpy voice sounded: "Who is it? It's so early in the morning."

"Uncle Xu, it's me, Han Li."

The room was silent for a moment, and then another voice with a more impolite question was heard: "What's the matter?"

The Xu family in the backyard and the Han family in the outer yard could only be considered neighbors who knew each other, and they had no other contact with each other.

Xu Wood was a movie projectionist with a good income. He looked down on the poor Han family and naturally did not speak politely.

At this moment, Old Xu had already thought that if what Han Li said was not particularly important, then he would have to find a way to deal with the Han family no matter what in the future.

"Uncle Xu, someone asked me to find a buyer for something."

Han Li's words stopped there, but Xu Wood already understood everything.

When the door was opened, Lao Xu's tone instantly became warm: "Xiao Han, come in and sit down."

This is the importance of an honest person’s character. What he says is always easy for people to believe.

After entering the house, Han Li continued to play the role of an honest man. He did not keep anyone in suspense and directly pointed out the truth.

"Uncle Xu, when I was practicing medicine in the countryside, a hunter jumped out on the road with a wild ginseng weighing eight taels, and wanted me to find a buyer in the city. Uncle Xu, you know a lot of big shots, please help introduce a buyer. The hunter said he was willing to pay 10% as an introduction fee."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wood couldn't help but take a breath and tried his best to hide his excitement.

I just feel that talking to honest people is so easy and comfortable. They just reveal all their cards right away. This kind of people is the easiest to handle.

As the saying goes, seven liang is a ginseng, and eight liang is a treasure (at that time, 16 liang was a jin (500 grams), and eight liang was half a jin). This means that a wild ginseng is an extremely rare treasure, also called a treasure ginseng.

Precious ginseng can save lives at critical moments. It is also a priceless treasure that can be encountered but not sought after.

"Hey, Xiao Han, did the hunter tell me how much he wants to sell this treasure, the ginseng?"

The first thought that Xu Wude had after learning about the precious ginseng was to get it. Then he could decide how much he wanted to sell it for.

Han Li shook his head: "Uncle Xu, I asked too, and they just said that of course the more the better. The hunter was afraid of something going wrong, so he made a request and only wanted to sell to big shots in the capital."

This hunter is a smart man! Xu Wude secretly thought it was a pity and had to give up the idea of ​​buying the precious ginseng at a low price.

Because he realized that this hunter was not easy to fool, finding a big shot in the capital to do business with could help him avoid being robbed as much as possible, and his safety would be guaranteed. The big shot could also afford a high price, so it was like killing two birds with one stone.

Xu Wude also figured out that the hunter came to Han Li because he thought Han Li was an honest man and would not have any bad intentions.

However, the cunning Xu Wood still kept a watchful eye and asked cautiously: "Have you seen the ginseng?"

You know, although people are simple and honest these days, there are also many scammers.

Han Li nodded firmly, "The ginseng is intact without any damage. It couldn't be more real. I studied medicine for two and a half years. There is absolutely no way I could have made a mistake, not to mention that it is a precious medicinal material. Uncle Xu, if you don't believe me, I can draw what the ginseng looks like."

Xu Wude pondered for a moment, then quickly found paper and pen and asked Han Li to draw the appearance of ginseng.

After all, with pictures, you will be more convincing when looking for buyers.

A few minutes later, Xu Wood looked at the ginseng on the paper and found that it was almost the same as the precious ginseng he had seen before, so he had no doubts at the moment.

Because Lao Xu felt that a country bumpkin like Han Li could not have seen the precious ginseng anywhere else.

You have to understand that in an era of material scarcity and lack of medical care and medicine, this precious ginseng could be treated as a family heirloom. How could ordinary people possibly see it?

Even though Xu Wood had lived for almost forty years, he had never touched the whiskers of the precious ginseng, and had only glanced at it from a distance.

At this moment, Xu Wood has begun to think about how to maximize his own interests in this transaction of selling precious ginseng?

"So if we find a buyer, how do we do the transaction?" Xu Wude had to sort out all the links before he could look for a buyer.

"That man and I agreed to meet early tomorrow morning, but he had to have the big shot's seal stamped on my arm. He said that this would confirm that I had met the big shot. Only then would he be willing to go with me to the big shot's house to trade."

Han Li changed the subject: "If not, then he will take the risk and try his luck by stopping a car."

Finally, he seemed to suddenly think of something and hurriedly said, "Uncle Xu, how about a 9:1 introduction fee? I'll take 10%, and you take 90%, Uncle Xu."

After hearing this, Xu Wude was overjoyed but did not show it. Instead, he lit a cigarette and puffed on it. After a moment, he slowly nodded and said, "I can't make this money without you. Let's split the referral fee 20% to 80%."

In his opinion, this deal is a sure thing. Not only will he get a generous commission, but he will also gain the favor of the buyer, which is not something that can be bought with money. There is no need to compete with Han Li, an honest man, for that little bit of profit.

And we should have a long-term vision and let Han Li taste the sweetness so that he can continue to collect such good things when he goes to the countryside in the future.

If he does a few more deals like this, it will be hard for the Xu family not to get rich.

"Ah? Thank you Uncle Xu, thank you Uncle Xu." Han Lihan smiled and hurriedly thanked him.

Xu Wood nodded in satisfaction and suddenly asked, "By the way, you didn't tell anyone else about this, did you?"

"No. I thought about it and realized that Uncle Xu is the only one in our courtyard who has the ability to know many important people, so I came to find you early in the morning."

"Okay. This matter must be kept secret." Xu Wood's face became a little stern: "It is a taboo to sell the same product to two different parties. If the big shots find out, we will definitely suffer. Do you understand?"

"Uncle Xu, I understand." Han Li nodded quickly and said, "I will listen to you on this matter."

"You stay at home today and don't run around. Once I find a suitable buyer, I will come back to find you immediately."

Xu Wude has already sorted out the entire transaction process. He has found a buyer, and will take Han Li to meet the buyer to get the seal. He will meet with the seller tomorrow and then the transaction will be completed smoothly.

There was nothing wrong with the whole process. Han Li only acted as a credibility tool throughout the whole process. His greatest use was to gain the trust of the ginseng sellers.

"Uncle Xu, I will go home and wait for your letter."

When Han Li walked out of Xu Wood's house, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief; it was really not easy to act in front of an old fox.

When they arrived at the central courtyard, the necromancer Jia Zhang, who was washing by the sink, stared at Han Li with a scrutinizing look as if he were looking at a thief.

Since Jia Zhang was a stubborn and unreasonable person who would make a fuss even when she was right, she had a bad reputation. Honest people like the Han family usually avoided her.

After all, nothing good will happen if you get entangled with this old hag.

Jia Zhang's real name was Zhang Cuihua. During the land reform, in order to be able to share land, she chose a rural household registration.

When Lao Jia was alive, Zhang Cuihua was relatively restrained. Although she wasn't always kind to others, at least she wouldn't deliberately pick fights to bully others.

But it was not until Old Jia passed away that Jia Zhang's true nature was completely exposed, and she became an old hag that everyone hated.

At this moment, Han Li was actually somewhat fortunate that Qin Huairu's family had concealed the fact of their engagement from him, otherwise, the old hag Jia Zhang might have found fault with him. In that case, he would not be able to hide away and be the sixth son.

Han Li pretended not to see it. When he was about to reach the hanging flower gate leading to the front yard from the middle courtyard, he heard a "splashing" sound of water behind him.

How could he not understand that the old hag Jia Zhang was deliberately throwing water to disgust people?

Han Li felt a little depressed. As if nothing happened? If he endured it for a while, he would get angrier and angrier. If he took a step back, he would feel more and more at a disadvantage. Should he fight back? I am not good at arguing, and I really have no confidence that I can win the argument.

At this moment, Jia Zhang's curse sounded first: "You uneducated dog, you don't even say hello to your elders when you see them, you deserve to be poor all your life..."

Han Li turned around and glanced at the pool indifferently. Without saying anything more, he went straight to the front yard.

But the moment he turned his back, Han Li's eyes became extremely cold: You scolded me, and you still want to live a good life? Dream on!

Since you like playing in the water so much, let you, an old hag, have fun to your heart’s content!
