Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Xu Damao was very unhappy watching this scene. He frowned and winked at Zhang Tietou beside him.

Zhang Tietou immediately understood what he meant. He nodded, tightened his dog-skin hat, and walked towards the two young men.

"roll!"

Zhang Tietou walked and pointed at the two teenagers and shouted loudly.

"Who are you asking to get out of here? Mind your own business!"

Hearing Zhang Tietou's voice, one of the boys turned around and stared at him fiercely. At the same time, the boy picked up a wooden stick leaning against the wall, and the other boy also turned around and stared at Zhang Tietou who was walking over.

"Hey, you two little bastards don't want to leave me anymore, right? How dare you get mad in front of your Master Zhang? Hehe."

Zhang Tietou showed a sinister smile on his face, clenched his fists, and strode forward.

"You are the scumbag!"

The young man holding the stick shouted angrily, raised the stick in his hand, and smashed it hard at Zhang Tietou.

Zhang Tietou dodged the attack easily by moving sideways. Then, he kicked the boy in the chest.

The young man screamed, his body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

The other boy just rushed over and saw his companion flying out and falling heavily to the ground. He was stunned for a while.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Tietou didn't care about that. He slapped the young man in the face and knocked him to the ground.

"roll!"

Zhang Tietou shouted again, and the two teenagers crawled out of the alley.

"Thank you... thank you..."

The girl in the corner nervously thanked Zhang Tietou.

"Why don't you leave quickly?"

"I'm leaving now."

The girl also trotted out of the alley, and Zhang Tietou then turned back and walked to Xu Damao's side.

"Give me the guy and the money I got."

"Okay big brother."

Zhang Tietou took out a stack of money, then looked around nervously, took out a revolver from his waist and handed it to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao took the money, without counting it, he directly counted out forty yuan and handed it to Zhang Tietou.

"Brother, what does this mean?"

Zhang Tietou looked at the money Xu Damao handed over, his eyes flashing with excitement. He could hardly believe his eyes.

"What else could it mean? You two each get twenty, hold the flowers!"

Xu Damao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a smile. He fiddled with the pistol with one hand, and the pistol flew up and down in his palm. His movements were skillful and smooth, as if the pistol in his hand had become a part of his body. Finally, the Mauser pistol suddenly disappeared from Xu Damao's hand, and no one knew where it went. This method of making the pistol disappear out of thin air made people marvel.

Zhang Tie stared at Xu Damao's performance in amazement, and his admiration for this elder brother grew stronger.

"Thank you very much, brother!"

Zhang Tietou took the money excitedly, his eyes full of gratitude. He knew very well what this money meant to them, it was not only a material reward, but also a recognition of their work.

"You're welcome. You both deserve this."

Xu Damao patted Zhang Tietou on the shoulder to show his approval. Then he changed the subject and asked, "What's delicious in this piece?"

Zhang Tietou immediately perked up when he heard Xu Damao's question. He said excitedly, "Brother, I know a place nearby that serves delicious food. I'll take you there to try it."

Xu Damao smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay, you lead the way."

Zhang Tietou brought Xu Damao to a mutton stew restaurant. Although the restaurant was not big, its business was very popular.

As you enter the store, a rich aroma hits your nose, making you salivate.

Zhang Tietou skillfully ordered two portions of braised mutton and two portions of pancakes, then found a seat and sat down. After a while, the waiter brought the steaming hot braised mutton and pancakes, and Xu Damao and Zhang Tietou began to feast on them.

"Brother, does it taste okay? This thing needs some chili to taste better."

Zhang Tietou introduced the stewed mutton to Xu Damao while eating it in big mouthfuls.

"Yeah, it tastes really good. I put a lot of chili in it, so it's strong enough!"

Xu Damao nodded with satisfaction, his face was filled with satisfaction. He liked this simple and delicious food.

When the two were about to finish eating, Zhang Tietou suddenly remembered that Huang Genwang was still waiting for them at home, so he stood up, walked to the counter, and said to the boss: "Give me another serving of stewed mutton and a few more pancakes!"

The boss smiled and replied, "Okay! Wait a moment."

Xu Damao looked at Zhang Tietou and asked in confusion, "Tietou, how do we take this thing back?"

Zhang Tietou explained with a smile: "I was worried that Huang Genwang was starving, so I quickly brought some food back for him."

After a while, the boss handed the packaged stewed mutton and pancakes to Zhang Tietou. Zhang Tietou took the food and carefully put it into the cloth bag he brought with him.

Xu Damao watched Zhang Tietou's actions and secretly admired him. He wanted to know how to package such soupy things in this era? After all, plastic things are basically unheard of in this era...

Here is a kind of portable wooden container that can be used to pack food. It is similar to the portable thermos bucket in the previous life, but it is made of wood.

Moreover, this wooden barrel looks quite delicate and cleverly designed, and is made by hollowing out a large piece of wood.

After paying the money, Zhang Tietou carried the wooden barrel and left with Xu Damao.

"You can ride your bicycles to the villages outside the city to pick up the goods, but you have to go far away. It is not easy to pick up goods in the villages close to the capital. Also, don't be cheated! Don't accept things that are too priced! Otherwise, you will lose more." Xu Damao said to Zhang Tietou as they walked.

After all, Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang don't even have the slightest knowledge about antiques. Fortunately, there are very few fakes in this era. Even fakes can be considered antiques, such as the antiques made by the Ming and Qing dynasties imitating the Tang and Song dynasties, and the Qing dynasty imitating the Ming dynasty. Among them, the Xuande furnace is the best.

After all, I don’t know how many Xuande stoves were imitated during the Qing Dynasty...

"My brother Genwang and I understand this. What big brother said is right." Zhang Tietou nodded quickly and agreed.

"Don't look for me in the future. I am the only one who will look for you. If I don't look for you, even if you see me, pretend not to see me. Do you understand?" Xu Damao reminded him again.

"I understand, brother." Zhang Tietou agreed again.

"Okay, you go back. From now on, do this kind of business properly and avoid trouble!" Xu Damao finally patted Zhang Tietou on the shoulder and said.

"Okay big brother, I'll go back right away!" Zhang Tietou nodded and responded, then turned and left the alley.

Watching Zhang Tietou's back as he left, Xu Damao smoked a cigarette and left as well, riding his bike to his home. It was already dark, so Xu Damao locked his bike and fell asleep on the bed.
