Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

As soon as I entered the alley, I saw a row of small stalls with small lights in front of them. The flames were probably turned to the lowest setting, and it was very dim.

The stall owners were wrapped in cotton-padded clothes, leaning against the wall without saying a word. Each of them had little stuff in front of them, and they all knew the principle of not showing off their wealth.

There are three stalls tonight, which should be my target.

One of them was a young man, thin and weak, and obviously a second-generation rich man. He was selling a few pieces of porcelain, which seemed very impressive. A group of people gathered around to watch.

The other two were both in their fifties or sixties, both wearing tattered leather jackets and huddled there.

One of them was selling some old pocket watches and snuff bottles. He didn't look like he was doing business at all, as if he was just killing time.

The other one was much worse, like a teacher, he seemed to be very cold, shivering a little, and coughing from time to time. There was a small piece of black cloth in front of him, a torn sack at his feet, and a sign on the black cloth, which said "Exchange for money and notes".

Li Guohua did not act immediately, but bought some food and then slowly wandered around the black market.

Generally speaking, for things like this, the best way is to find a middleman. There are quite a few of them on the black market who hang around, staring at people coming and going, to see who needs help.

They are familiar with people, and with them as intermediaries, the transaction between buyers and sellers will be more efficient. However, relatively speaking, the risks are also much greater, especially when buying small yellow croaker, anyone who sees it will have bad intentions.

As time went by, more and more people started to appear in the black market and transactions became more frequent. Only then did Li Guohua step forward and start asking questions.

He did not choose the young people because they were too impetuous and ambitious. The teacher did not choose them either, which was obviously saying that he had the capital and was less dangerous than the young people.

He came directly to the stall selling snuff bottles. The old man was very calm, which showed that he had a steady temperament and would be much safer.

Li Guohua glanced at the old man and casually pointed at a colorful snuff bottle that seemed quite interesting. The old man stretched out his index finger with his left hand. Wow, he actually wanted one dollar.

Of course you have to bargain when you come to the black market. He just raised his right hand and made a five sign, which means fifty cents. The other party turned around and ignored him.

Looking around and seeing no one paying attention to this side, Li Guohua stretched out his right hand to measure the length of the small yellow croaker, and then rubbed his right hand.

The old man looked like he had Alzheimer's disease and didn't move at all. After a long while, he vaguely used his left hand to make a five and then a zero.

My goodness, this old guy is really shady. The domestic gold price is low now, and ordinary people dare not exchange it. Basically, there is no market. In fact, Li Guohua's psychological price is about 30 yuan, and no more than 40 yuan at most.

Just when Li Guohua was hesitating, the old man chuckled and took out a small gold nugget from somewhere, about the width of a finger and the length of the fingertip, and flashed by, as if he had Li Guohua in his grasp.

As expected, the older the better, Li Guohua was definitely defeated.

Seeing the old man's face that looked like he deserved a beating, Li Guohua resisted the urge to take things from a distance. After all, it was a transaction, and he didn't know whether the other party was good or evil, so he should not do such a thing. Once the evil thoughts started, he would no longer be pure, and he would "steal" anything he liked.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out five big black tens, then passed them to the old man through the sleeve of his cotton jacket.

The old man pondered for a while in his sleeves, and handed over a small yellow croaker. Li Guohua was afraid that he was trying to fool him with a fake one, so he retracted his sleeves and put the fish directly into his small world.

Well, the weight is about the same and the inside is also golden, so it should be real.

Seeing that Li Guohua did not leave, the old man naturally knew what he meant. He gestured with his right hand with a number two, and the two exchanged again, and got two more small yellow croakers.

As soon as the old man completed the transaction, he threw two snuff bottles from the stall to him, then rolled up the stall, tucked it under his armpit, and walked away timidly.

Li Guohua was left standing there in a daze. This old guy was too cautious. It was only 150 yuan. What was there to run away for?

If the small world had not confirmed it, people would have suspected that he was deceiving themselves.

After thinking about it, he walked towards the teacher again, because many people had come over just now and had contact with him, so it would not be out of place for him to come over now.

"Ahem, what's up, sir?" The teacher asked softly as soon as he saw someone coming.

Li Guohua shook his head. He was indeed far worse than the old man. How could the stall owner speak first?

"We have food, meat, and banknotes. We only want the hard stuff!" Li Guohua didn't want to waste any more time, so he stated his request directly and showed the other party a stack of big black tens.

The teacher was stunned for a moment, but he immediately realized what the other party meant. He nodded to Li Guohua, took out a small black cloth bundle from the torn sack beside him, and handed it directly to Li Guohua.

I took it with my right hand, and guess what, it was quite heavy.

He stretched the cloth bag open to the left and right and took a look, and saw ten large yellow croakers. Li Guohua was so scared that he closed the gap immediately.

I am going to change what I said just now. You old man are not as smart as that young man.

This is the black market, are you just going to run away with these guys?

"Excuse me, sir. I'm not feeling well!" said the teacher with a wry smile.

Li Guohua understood what he meant. Now only department stores sell gold, and there is no place to buy gold. These things will die in the light. He is not in good health, but he has to sell them. Coming to the black market is like a desperate move.

But if you sell things like this, then I can only pay you according to my own price.

He stuffed the black cloth package into his cotton coat, and with a thought, he directly received it into his small world. After confirming that there was no problem, he took out his sleeve and handed the three big black tens to the teacher.

After the teacher got the money, his face was stunned for a moment. Then, without counting it, he put his hands into his sleeves, turned around and ran away, not caring about the torn sack, black cloth and the sign on the ground.

Li Guohua was confused again. Nowadays, the elderly are in good health and you can't see anyone when you turn around.

Feeling that he was attracting a lot of attention, he clasped his hands together and prepared to go home.

This premonition turned out to be true. Not long after I left the alley, I was blocked by 4-5 people from the front and back.

“Brother…ah!”

One of the leaders just stepped forward and was about to say something when he was kicked and flew away.

Li Guohua used a set of smooth and flowing turtle punches and knocked all his opponents to the ground in six seconds.

There is no special reason, just quick hands and great strength!

Looking at several people lying on the ground groaning in pain, Li Guohua secretly thought that he was unlucky. It seemed that he had attacked a little too hard and had overestimated the defensive power of the cotton coat.

But since they dare to block me, I can't let them get away with it.

Through the power of space, he found the three dollars and fifty-seven cents hidden on the bodies of several people and took them away. He even took away half a pack of cigarettes from the leader. Before leaving, he kicked the poorest guy and finally walked away.
