Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

As Xu Damao spoke, he observed the surrounding environment.

I noticed there was a big pot next to me, in which some offal such as heart, liver, intestines and tripe were being cooked. Next to it was a stack of thin flatbreads, which looked very much like the Chaotian pot from Shandong in my past life. I asked the stall owner to make one to fill my stomach.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be right there!"

The boss responded enthusiastically.

Soon, the boss prepared a burrito and handed it to Xu Damao.

Then we waited for more than half an hour before the bowl of noodles was served. After all, the stall owner had to knead the dough, roll it, and finally use a knife to cut the rolled dough into noodles. This kind of noodles is very satisfying to eat, and it cannot be compared with the noodles made by machines in the previous life.

Perhaps it was because Xu Damao was the only customer at the stall, or perhaps it was because Xu Damao was tall and strong, this bowl of noodles seemed particularly large. There were quite a few pork offal in it, especially the pig intestines, which filled up the entire bowl.

Xu Damao picked up the chopsticks, stirred it, and then started eating with big mouthfuls.

After taking a bite, his mouth was filled with the chewy noodles and the aroma of the pork offal, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so delicious!"

Xu Damao ate while looking at the surrounding environment. Although this place is not big, it is full of life. People are busy here and communicate with each other. This is how the market should be!

After finishing the meal, Xu Damao felt warm all over. He patted his stomach with satisfaction. After paying the bill, he rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

It was a little early when he returned, and Yan Bugui was probably still not off work at school. After Xu Damao parked the car at his house and locked it, he went back to the gate and started walking around.

"It's so boring. I don't know how Yan Bugui could stay at the door for so long!"

Xu Damao thought he was no match for Yan Bugui in this regard.

He thought and looked around.

Soon, Yan Bugui came into the yard pushing his bicycle.

Xu Damao was delighted and immediately went to meet him, smiling and saying, "Uncle, you're back?"

When Yan Bugui saw Xu Damao, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded and said, "Yeah, get out of class just ended."

"Teacher Yan, I have collected a lot of things in the village and the market these days. How about we go there tonight?"

Xu Damao walked behind Yan Bugui's car, picked up the back seat of the bicycle with one hand, lifted it up easily, and helped Yan Bugui enter the gate.

"Okay, I just happen to have some stuff at home. I'll go back and pack it up. What time do we leave tonight?"

When Yan Bugui heard that Xu Damao wanted to go to the ghost market with him, he immediately became interested. He pushed the cart forward and asked when they would set off, looking very anxious.

"It's eleven o'clock. Teacher Yan is so anxious. It seems that Teacher Yan has something in hand!"

Xu Damao said jokingly.

"Hehe, that's right. We just agreed to go to the ghost market that day, so I went to my friend's place to help him sell some things! Hehe, didn't I just pick up a few things?"

Yan Bugui said with a chuckle.

"Teacher Yan, you are really amazing! You can get the good things so quickly. Those things are not easy to get. I also spent a lot of money to collect them from the village. Not only was it laborious, but I also had to bargain with the villagers for a lot of time." Xu Damao exclaimed.

"No, no, I'm just lucky, and my friend trusts me quite a bit." Yan Bugui said modestly, but his face was filled with pride.

"Then let's set off early in the evening and try to make more money," Xu Damao suggested.

"Okay, let's do as you say. We'll set off at 11 o'clock. Just call me when the time comes." Yan Bugui said, and pushed the bike towards home.

"Okay, I won't disturb you at 11 o'clock. Don't you have a clock at home? We'll meet at the door then." Xu Damao replied.

"Okay, Damao, I'll go home and pack my things first, and see you in the evening!" After Yan Bugui said that, he turned around and pushed the car away.

"Hurry and bring a lantern!"

Xu Damao returned home and lay down on the bed to sleep. After all, he had exerted a lot of effort with Sister Fang yesterday afternoon and night, and he hadn't rested for a moment since morning. Although he was not tired, he was a little exhausted mentally.

Xu Damao lay on the bed and fell asleep in a short while. When he woke up again, it was almost eleven o'clock. He controlled the time very accurately...

After stretching, he felt refreshed and energetic. Xu Damao quickly put on his clothes, went out, pushed the bike towards the gate, and prepared to meet Yan Bugui at the door.

I quietly pushed my bike out of the courtyard and saw a figure standing under the wall next to the door holding a bike. It was none other than Yan Bugui, the master of calculations! "Teacher Yan came out so early. It's not even eleven yet. There's still five minutes to go!" Xu Damao said with a smile.

"Hey, I just went out too. Let's go now. Damao, you've been there before, so you lead the way in front and I'll follow you." Yan Bugui said with a kind smile.

"Okay! Let's get rich together tonight!" Xu Damao got on his bicycle and rode out first, while Yan Bugui followed closely behind.

"Da Mao! Damao, ride slower. I can't keep up. It's too dark and I can't see the road clearly." Yan Bugui shouted anxiously.

Xu Damao was riding his bicycle leisurely when he suddenly heard Yan Bugui's urgent call from behind him. He stopped the bike and waited for Yan Bugui to catch up.

"Hey! Damao, let's not ride so fast. I'm old and my eyes are blurry. Besides, it's dark and I can't see the road. Let's ride slowly. It's so cold today. If we ride fast, we will be very cold." Yan Bugui caught up and said breathlessly.

Yan Bugui looked at the leather gloves on Xu Damao's hands, then looked at his own worn cloth gloves, and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Let's ride slower." Xu Damao agreed reluctantly.

"There are not many people on this road, so it's okay for us to ride side by side. You can also tell me about the rules of the ghost market." Yan Bugui said in a low voice.

"Okay, then I will talk to Teacher Yan about the rules in the Ghost Market. It is still safe in the Ghost Market. The Ghost Market has its own rules. If anyone causes trouble in the Ghost Market, he will offend all the stall owners and customers. No one is stupid enough to do such a thing. You won't know how you died. You just have to leave it to fate after leaving the Ghost Market." Damao said.

"Then what should we do in there?" Yan Bugui asked.

"Watch more, talk less, and don't show off your wealth. Especially when selling things, the fewer people who know about it, the better." Xu Damao turned around and replied.
