Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Did your dad ask you to wait for me here?"

"Yeah, that's right." Yan Jiecheng replied with a smile.

"Hey, Brother Damao, have you eaten yet? Let me tell you, my dad went to the street today to buy some fresh pork and some delicious braised tofu! Look, my mom is busy cooking in the kitchen right now, preparing to treat you well. I want to invite you to come over and have a few drinks together!"

Yan Jiecheng described the food with great excitement and couldn't help swallowing his saliva when talking about the delicacies, as if the delicacies were right in front of him.

Xu Damao laughed softly after hearing this: "Haha, Brother Jie Cheng, but I just had dinner outside, so forget about this meal. I guess your father must have asked me to discuss something important, so I'd better go find him and ask about the situation first."

After saying that, Xu Damao pushed his bicycle and continued walking towards Yan Bugui's house.

After a while, Xu Damao arrived at the door of Yan Bugui's house. He stopped, put his bicycle against the wall, and then raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in!" Yan Bugui's familiar voice came from the room.

Xu Damao pushed open the door and walked into the house, only to see Yan Bugui sitting on a chair in the main room, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Da Mao, come and sit down! I specially prepared some delicious dishes today, let's have a nice drink!"

Yan Bugui warmly invited Xu Damao to sit down, and waved his hand to signal Yan Jiecheng to go out quickly.

Seeing this, although Yan Jiecheng felt a little reluctant, he could only turn around and leave obediently, closing the door.

"Teacher Yan, I appreciate your kindness. But I had already eaten a lot outside, so I really can't eat anything else! Is there any new progress or news about the matter you told me about before?"

Xu Damao walked up to Yan Bugui eagerly, excitement flashing in his eyes, and asked impatiently.

"Well, at noon today, I went to see my friend and explained the matter to him in detail. Fortunately, they agreed to the deal and made it clear that the deal could indeed be done."

"But they proposed that the place of business should be arranged at a specific location outside the city, and asked your friend to bring sufficient money and go there in person. Damao, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Yan Bugui asked Xu Damao carefully and softly.

"Ah? No way, is there any danger hidden here? Teacher Yan, you should know that your friend and his group of people are most likely engaged in the business of moving mountains and robbing tombs. These people are not easy to deal with, and they are all ruthless."

"If my friend really ran over there like they said, and if those guys suddenly had bad ideas, the consequences would be disastrous!"

"By then, not only will you not be able to get the things, but you will also lose all the money you brought with you. If you think about the worse situation, you might even lose your life!"

"Teacher Yan, don't forget that we went to the ghost market and were robbed at gunpoint on the way back!"

Xu Damao deliberately pretended to be timid and cowardly, and his tone of voice was timid, as if he was full of fear and dread of that group of people.

"Oh, what should we do? Damao, wasn't it you who suggested that the sellers should decide the transaction location? Now they have designated a place outside the city, but your friend doesn't dare to go there rashly..."

Yan Bugui looked anxious, his brows tightly furrowed.

Yan Bugui frowned slightly, thinking to himself: Isn't that the truth?

If it were me, I would never dare to carry such a huge amount of money and run outside the city to trade with those mountain movers. It is really too dangerous...

"Well, how about this? I'll go talk to my friend tomorrow and I'll replace him."

"Having said that, my friend has indeed taught me a lot of knowledge and tricks. He can be regarded as my mentor in both emotional and logical terms."

Xu Damao hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind. As he spoke, he nodded slightly, seeming to be very satisfied with the idea he had come up with.

"Teacher Yan, there is one more thing. Did your friends mention how much money they need to bring?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui was slightly startled, then a hint of joy appeared on his face, but then a hint of nervousness appeared.

He responded hurriedly, "Oh, my friend did say that the gold inlaid on the jade pieces weighs at least two kilograms! This is really not a small amount! Damao, can your friend come up with such a large sum of money? And the amount is so huge, can your friend really trust you to handle this matter?"

As he spoke, Yan Bugui's eyes were filled with a complex expression of expectation and worry. After all, if this deal could be successfully concluded, he would certainly be able to gain a lot of benefits from it.

"Teacher Yan, you can rest assured! My friend is extremely wealthy and trusts me very much. The reason for this is that I have done him a favor and even saved his life!"

Xu Damao patted his chest and assured.

"But, Mr. Yan, to be honest, I still have some concerns in my heart. So, I am thinking of asking two more people to go on this business trip with me. You should understand my concerns, right?"

"After all, the amount of money involved in this transaction is really not small!"

At this point, Xu Damao couldn't help but frown and his expression became serious.

You should know that the current price of pure gold in the market is about 3.12 yuan per gram. Let's calculate it based on 3 yuan per gram. 100 grams of gold would cost 300 yuan, and one kilogram of gold weighs 1,000 kilograms. So it would cost 3,000 yuan!

Xu Damao said that he would buy this batch of gold at double the price, so he would have to pay 6,000 yuan!

Six thousand yuan, this is definitely an astronomical sum of money! Fortunately, Xu Damao had just sold a batch of grain and had plenty of money on hand, otherwise he would not dare to make such a boast...

"Yes, yes, I understand. I understand! It never hurts to be more cautious. Only in this way can we ensure that nothing goes wrong and that it will last a long time."
