Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

He Yuzhu handed the red paper in his hand to Yan Bugui, then took out fifty cents from his pocket and put it on the table in front of Yan Bugui.

"Oh, no, Zhuzi, how can I take your money? Besides, this is too much!"

Yan Bugui quickly waved his hand to refuse. After all, although the price of pork had increased during the Chinese New Year, fifty cents could definitely buy a pound of high-quality pork.

"Teacher Yan, you're welcome. This is a little gift from me. If you don't accept it, I'll feel bad."

He Yuzhu insisted that Yan Bugui accept the money.

"Well, since Zhuzi said so, I won't be polite. Thank you. If you have any problems in the yard in the future, just tell me!"

Yan Bugui hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the money, thinking that He Yuzhu was really generous.

After the two chatted for a while, He Yuzhu took the written Spring Festival couplets and left.

Yan Bugui continued to write Spring Festival couplets with his head down and continued to earn some money.

The winter sun shone on the street. Xu Damao rode his bicycle through the familiar alley and arrived at the gate of the courtyard where Cuinong lived. He stopped his bicycle, walked to the gate, and knocked on the door.

"Cuinong! Open the door!" Xu Damao shouted.

Cuinong's clear voice came from inside the door: "Brother Damao, you're here?" Following the sound of footsteps, Cuinong opened the gate with a happy smile on her face.

"Well, the New Year is coming soon. Bring some Spring Festival couplets and door gods over and you can put them up when the time comes!" Xu Damao said with a smile, his tone full of concern.

Xu Damao did not enter the house. He parked the car directly, took out the carefully selected Spring Festival couplets and door gods from the basket, and handed them to Cuinong who opened the door.

These Spring Festival couplets and door gods were specially selected by him.

"Brother Damao, please come in. It's so cold outside. Come inside to warm up. Have you eaten?" Cuinong invited warmly, her eyes revealing concern for Xu Damao.

She knew that Xu Damao had always been good to her, so she wanted to treat him well.

However, Xu Damao shook his head and said with a smile, "No need, I've finished my meal and have some other things to do, so I'll leave first." After that, he waved to Cuinong to say goodbye.

Cuinong was a little disappointed, but still nodded with a smile and responded, "Okay, Brother Damao, come and play again when you have time!"

Xu Damao got on his bike, left Cuinong's house, and continued riding through the alleys of the old city.

While admiring the ancient buildings and unique scenery, he was looking for possible old objects. There are many historic houses and courtyards here, and there may be precious treasures hidden.

I received a lot of old items from Zhang Tietou in the morning. Today I will collect some second-hand goods from the old alleys. I will go to the ghost market in the evening to sell the goods together.

As night fell, Xu Damao returned home and sorted out the old items he had received during the day, preparing to sell them at the ghost market in the evening.

He carefully wiped each item clean to ensure that they were in the best condition. These old objects are witnesses of history, carrying memories and stories of the past.

Xu Damao is full of awe for them and hopes to find someone who is destined to appreciate and collect them.

He simply made a pot of stewed pork ribs and radish, and put some steamed white flour buns and braised pig's trotters on top. After Xu Damao was full and satisfied, he went straight to bed.

After all, he still had to go to the ghost market to do business in the middle of the night! He knew that only by getting enough sleep could he have the energy to deal with the business at night. Lying on the bed, he closed his eyes, and his thoughts gradually calmed down.

He was thinking about how to continue looking for more treasures tomorrow and how to make his business better and better.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Xu Damao pushed the cart quietly out of the courtyard and went directly to the ghost market.

The streets were exceptionally quiet at night, with only the occasional barking of dogs breaking the silence. Xu Damao pushed the cart carefully to avoid making any noise.

He arrived at the ghost market, where many stall owners and buyers had gathered. Although it was late at night, the ghost market was still bustling and brightly lit.

Xu Damao found an empty space and quickly put the old items he brought in order.

His stall was filled with all kinds of treasures, including old books, exquisite porcelain, antique furniture, and so on.

These items exude the breath of time and attract the attention of many people.

Xu Damao enthusiastically introduced his products to the customers who inquired about his products. His good eloquence and professional knowledge aroused people's strong interest in his stall.

Perhaps because the Chinese New Year was approaching, the flow of people in the ghost market increased, and the things Xu Damao displayed sold very quickly.

His stall was crowded with customers, all choosing the items they liked. Xu Damao was very busy, bargaining with customers and constantly replenishing new goods.

Because the prices were low, half of the items on the stall were sold out in less than an hour.

As time went by, the atmosphere of the ghost market became more and more lively. Xu Damao's business was getting better and better, and his face was filled with a satisfied smile.

Two hours later, almost all the items on Xu Damao's stall were sold out, and Xu Damao also made more than 1,000 yuan.

After closing up the stall with satisfaction, Xu Damao rode his bike back to his courtyard home. After taking off his clothes, he went straight to bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, since it was a holiday, Xu Damao slept until noon before waking up.

Feeling that there was nothing to do after getting up, Damao directly slipped into his personal space.

As the area of ​​my portable space gets bigger and bigger, I have to make some plans. I'm just sitting there doing nothing anyway...

There are small lakes, ponds, streams, woods, farmland, shrubs, grasslands and hills, and finally your own wooden house.

After moving the cabin from the lakeside to the forest, Xu Damao floated above the portable space and began to plan it.

After careful consideration, he decided to expand the small lake and pond to form a larger lake so as to raise more fish; at the same time, plant some fruit trees and flowers by the lake to increase its beauty.

Next, he plans to open up a vegetable field next to the stream and plant various vegetables and fruits to meet daily food needs. In addition, he can also plant some herbs around for cooking and medicinal purposes.

For the forest, he plans to keep some of the original trees to maintain ecological balance, but also cut down some wood for construction and furniture making. In the forest, some trails and rest areas can be set up for walking and leisure.

In terms of arable land, in addition to continuing to grow crops, you can also consider introducing some livestock and poultry, such as chickens, ducks, sheep, etc., to achieve diversification of animal husbandry production. Anyway, there are automatic pastures, so you don’t have to worry about it at all.
