Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Xu Damao laughed and turned to look into Sister Li's beautiful eyes.

"Of course I believe you. Take it. Just come and see me often."

Sister Li put the phoenix pearl into the wooden box and handed it to Xu Damao with both hands.

"Thank you for your trust, Sister Li. However, since Sister Li trusts me so much, I have to express my gratitude. Sister Li, please keep some of these for now."

Xu Damao carefully took the wooden box with both hands and put it aside, then took out a stack of big unity notes and handed it to Sister Li.

"Brother, I'm not short of money, but I feel lonely after being alone for a long time. When you come to show the movie, just come and see me."

Sister Li said this in a somewhat dejected tone, and her look made people want to go up to her and hug her to show their affection.

Xu Damao was no exception. He directly picked up Sister Li and went into the house, starting a three-game winning streak!

"Didn't you say you got up early this morning and wanted to sleep in for a while?"

"I'm not sleepy anymore. I'm in good spirits now..."

"Have you two eaten yet?"

"We've eaten. We take turns eating. Big brother, we've been watching your food!"

"Well, you've worked hard, this is your reward."

Xu Damao took out a handful of candy and handed it to the child.

"Hold it with both hands, otherwise it will fall to the ground..."

Xu Damao rode his bike leisurely towards the steel rolling mill. He had put the phoenix holding the pearl into his personal space. He also left two hundred yuan, some food and a small amount of pork for Sister Li.

After returning to the steel rolling mill, Xu Damao parked the car and prepared to walk back to the courtyard.

"Da Mao, why don't you ride your bike back today?"

"It's not right to always ride the factory bike. I bought a bicycle so I can ride it to work."

"Sure, Damao! You've already bought a bicycle, so lend it to me when I need it."

"Why do we need to say that? Feel free to use it!"

Xu Damao spoke nice words and walked out.

On the way back, he bought some snacks to eat. On the side of the road, he met a man selling popsicles in a large iron bucket. Xu Damao was curious and walked over to buy two to try them.

"Give me two Arctic Oceans!"

Xu Damao handed over a dime.

The stall owner took out two popsicles and handed them over.

Xu Damao didn't hesitate to tear off the outer wrapping paper and took a bite.

The taste is good, but there are too many ice chips, and the big pieces can easily prick your mouth.

After returning to his home in the courtyard, Xu Damao ate something casually and then lay down on the bed to rest.

After going to the ghost market in the morning and having a fierce battle with Sister Li during the day, Xu Damao now felt drowsy and fell asleep directly on the bed.

Over the next few days, Xu Damao went to the ghost market every few days and collected some valuable items, including some exquisite small items, from the stalls selling antiques, porcelain and jade.

In his previous life, he was nicknamed "Poison Eyes Da Xu" for a reason. Xu Damao plans to rely on his own eyesight to make a living during this period of time. He will collect some real antiques and rare items, and then set up a stall to sell them in the ghost market. This way, he will be able to become a millionaire in no time!

I also bought a few coats and pants that I thought looked good, after all, the weather is going to get cooler in a few days.

That day, Xu Damao returned home and happened to meet Yan Bugui sitting at the gate of the yard. When he saw Xu Damao coming back, he greeted him and nothing else happened. The reason was naturally that Xu Damao came back empty-handed and there was nothing to gain.

Xu Damao also understood Yan Bugui's thoughts, but they were all from the same courtyard and would see each other every day. There was no need to expose the truth and offend others. He should just live his own life well.

Back in his room, Xu Damao got very angry and decided to keep things simple today, so he made some turtle soup.

Take out the killed and diced soft-shelled turtle in the portable space, put the chopped green onion into the pot first, and after the aroma comes out, put the soft-shelled turtle meat and the lid in and stir-fry for a while, and a strong meaty aroma will spread.

Adding some water, Xu Damao covered the pot and started stewing.

The aroma of stewed meat wafted out through the open window, whetting one's appetite.

Yan Bugui, who was standing at the gate of the yard, smelled the aroma of meat and walked over curiously.

"Da Mao is cooking. What is this stew? Why does it smell so good?"

"Uncle San, please come in. I was going to a screening today and happened to pass by a big pit. A turtle ran out of it, so I picked it up and stewed it."

Xu Damao is talking nonsense.

"Oh, you are so lucky. I haven't eaten this rare thing for a long time. Here, I have a bottle of old wine at home. How about bringing it over and having a few drinks?"

Yan Bugui entered Xu Damao's room and smelled the strong aroma from the pot. The smile on his face became even brighter.

"Okay, the wine in Third Uncle's house must be good. I want to taste it carefully. The turtle in this pot needs to be stewed for a while. Uncle, go get the wine. I'll prepare some other food."

Xu Damao was also happy. He sent Yan Bugui back to get some wine. By the way, he took out some snacks he had bought before, fried peanuts and braised tofu, from his personal space, put them on a plate, and placed it on the table.

After a while, Yan Bugui came back, took out a bottle of wine from his arms and handed it to Xu Damao.

"How's the wine? Not bad, right?"

"Hey, Wangshanhe! This wine is great. How did you get it, Old Yan?"

Xu Damao was startled and directly shouted out the name "Old Yan", but the words had already been spoken and it was too late to change them. He could only pretend to be even more surprised and sigh.

"Haha, I bought this when I was having dinner with a parent of a child. I still have some of this wine at home."

"This thing is inedible and doesn't quench your thirst. I don't know why some people spend a lot of money on this thing. Isn't it better to buy something to eat or drink?"

Yan Bugui didn't care about Xu Damao's slip of the tongue. He looked at the fried peanuts and braised tofu on the table, swallowed his saliva, and opened the wine directly.

"Teacher Yan, let me pour the wine!"

Xu Damao took the wine bottle, took out two small bowls, filled them up and put them aside.

"Uncle, come and have a drink! We don't have time to cook today, let's drink first, and I'll go make some pancakes with white flour later. I'm clumsy and can't even make good pancakes!"

"Making pancakes is your uncle's specialty, let me do it later!"

"Uncle San is a guest, how can I let you do anything? Come, eat the food!"

Xu Damao took a sip of wine and put down the bowl.

When the sticky wine went down his throat, he could smell the rich aroma of soy sauce, which lifted Xu Damao's spirits!
