Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

At this moment, Xu Damao was thinking to himself, "I don't know whose unlucky dog ​​got lost, and actually ran into this wonton seller. It's really in trouble now."

The stall owner asked enthusiastically, "How much do you want, little brother?"

Xu Damao answered without hesitation: "Then I'll buy one pound. Please help me cut it into slices. By the way, how much does it cost?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "This dog meat is a rare delicacy. I'll charge you 60 cents per pound. Is that okay with you?"

Xu Damao nodded readily: "Okay!"

Not long after, the stall owner deftly brought the sliced ​​dog meat and steaming wontons to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was seen holding the sesame seed bun tightly in his left hand, quickly picking up the chopsticks with his right hand, and couldn't wait to enjoy this meal.

Soon, Xu Damao had eaten up all the food like whirlwind.

He touched his round belly contentedly, casually wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, then slowly stood up and prepared to pay.

After paying the money, he strolled leisurely to the stall.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e was chatting enthusiastically with an elderly guest. Seeing this, Xu Damao did not interrupt their conversation rashly, but walked quietly to the charcoal brazier and sat down.

Then, he slowly took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket, gently took out one of them, and skillfully put it in his mouth.

Then, he reached into the charcoal brazier and took out a wooden stick that had already been burned red at one end, and carefully lit the cigarette in his mouth.

As a cloud of smoke rose, Xu Damao took a deep breath and an expression of great comfort appeared on his face.

"Oh my, you are really good at talking, your mouth is as sweet as honey. All right, all right, twenty dollars is twenty dollars. I want both the jar and the jade piece!"

The buyer waved his hand generously with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Hehehe...Thank you, brother, for taking care of my business!"

Lou Xiao'e took the money with a smile on her face. Her big watery eyes curved into crescent shapes, making her look playful and cute.

She carefully folded the bills and put them in her pocket, then said to the buyer with a happy face: "Brother, if you need anything in the future, just come to me!"

"Haha, that's great, little girl! But there are very few female stall owners in this ghost market, and most of them sell old clothes or something."

"This is the first time I've seen a young girl like you selling antiques here! You have to be more careful when doing business in a place like this, be careful not to get cheated!"

As the buyer spoke, he looked up and down at the charming and lovely Lou Xiao'e in front of him, with a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Hey, thank you for your reminder, brother! I'm not here alone today. I'm with my friends, so nothing will happen." Lou Xiao'e shook her head and answered confidently.

"Oh? So that's how it is. I feel much more relieved then." Hearing Lou Xiao'e say this, the buyer smiled and nodded. Then he carefully put the jar and jade piece he had just bought into his pocket, then waved to Lou Xiao'e, turned around and strode away.

At this time, Xu Damao, who had been observing silently at the side, came up to Lou Xiao'e, gave her a thumbs up and said with praise: "Hey, Xiao'e, you are great, I didn't realize you are so good at doing business! Look how happy the buyer was just now, he bought the item in just a few words, awesome!"

"Well, of course! I was born to be a business person. This little thing won't be a problem for me!"

After hearing Xu Damao's praise, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help feeling a little elated. She raised her chin and smiled proudly.

Less than an hour had passed, and most of the goods on the stall in front of Xu Damao and Yan Bugui had been sold.

The reason is simple: it is extremely cold, so cold that it makes people shiver.

But as long as there is an opportunity to make money, even if the profit is small, they will take it without hesitation.

At this time, Xu Damao noticed that Lou Xiao'e stood up and stamped her feet from time to time because of the cold.

Later, she even lifted her shoes and placed her feet directly on the charcoal basin, trying to get a little warmth. Seeing this, Xu Damao felt nervous and said quickly: "Xiao E, the weather is getting colder and colder. Let's go home early."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she seemed to wake up from a dream. She quickly took her feet off the charcoal brazier, stood up with a little shyness, and replied, "Okay, then let's pack up and go." Then she started to help organize the remaining items on the stall.

At this moment, Yan Bugui, who had been busy nearby, noticed the movements of Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe, and looked up and asked, "Hey, Damao, are you guys leaving now?"

Xu Damao quickly packed up his things and responded, "Yes, Teacher Yan. You see, most of these things are sold out, and it's as cold as an ice cellar. We have to hurry back."

After hearing this, Yan Bugui nodded repeatedly to show his agreement: "That's true. It's really cold today. Fine, I'll pack up quickly and try to evacuate with you." After saying that, he also acted quickly and put the remaining items in order.

His small stall, which was originally filled with bottles and jars, is now almost gone, with only a few scattered small items lying there alone.

Yan Bugui bent down and quickly and skillfully picked up the four corners of the old cloth on the ground. Then he lifted it up gently and the whole stall was clean and tidy.

Then he neatly stuffed the remaining items into the basket on the back seat of the bicycle.

At the same time, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e on the other side had also finished the cleanup work.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e walked shoulder to shoulder at the front of the team, while Yan Bugui pushed his slightly worn-out bicycle and followed them slowly, moving towards the exit of the ghost market.

"Xiao'e, take a look around at the stalls to see if there's anything you like. It's freezing cold out here, we can't make this trip in vain! If we see something we like, we should buy it."

As Xu Damao walked, he turned his head and asked Lou Xiao'e beside him with concern.

"Oh, I really don't want to buy anything. It's so cold, my feet are almost frozen. I'd better go home quickly!"

Lou Xiao'e muttered to herself, her hands tightly inserted into each other's sleeves, and she kept stamping her feet, trying to warm herself up a little.
