Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu, who was walking in front, noticed that Cai Quanwu suddenly stopped walking, so he turned around to see what was going on. When Cai Quanwu saw that He Yuzhu was about to turn around, he immediately wiped away his tears. When He Yuzhu saw that Cai Quanwu's eyes were red, he asked curiously.

"Uncle, why are your eyes red?"

"A bug just flew in accidentally, but I've already squeezed it out. It's okay now. Let's go."

"I'm glad you're alright. You and I have to go to the police station to register the newly bought tricycle, and there will be a vehicle management fee of 2.5 yuan every year."

"I heard Qiangzi mention the vehicle management fee you mentioned. Let's go."

He Yuzhu brought Cai Quanwu to the police station where he had registered his bicycle last time. Cai Quanwu went in to pay the fee while He Yuzhu stood outside looking at the tricycle. After a while, Cai Quanwu came out with a man from the police station. The man stamped a set of numbers on the crossbar of Cai Quanwu's tricycle and said, "The stamp is ready. You can leave now."

"Come on, uncle. I'll take you to the places where you'll be transporting goods in the future."

"Zhu Zi, I've thought about it. Why don't I just not move to the courtyard house in Chunshu Hutong that you mentioned? The courtyard house I live in now is closer to the tavern you mentioned, so I can go there to get information anytime. It just so happens that the rent hasn't expired yet, so I can stay here for another half a month."

"You are right. If you move to Chunshu Hutong now, then it will be more than ten miles to go back and forth to Zhengyangmen. It is really inconvenient. Let's wait and see. Come with me to the house in Deng Hutong first. You can store the goods you want to transport in that yard in the future."

He Yuzhu led Cai Quanwu to the door of the house in Qudeng Hutong. He Yuzhu took out the key from his pocket, opened the door, locked it, and handed the key to Cai Quanwu.

"Uncle, this bunch of keys is the key to the gate of this yard and the key to the house inside. Come in with me first."

Cai Quanwu followed He Yuzhu into the yard with the cart. He Yuzhu pointed to the back house in the south and said, "Uncle, I will store the eggs in this room in the future. It is empty now. A batch of goods should arrive tomorrow. You can come and pick it up the day after tomorrow morning. A basket of eggs weighs about 30 kilograms, and there are about 20 baskets of eggs each time. Remember the way?"

"Remember, I promise it won't be wrong. You gave me my key, what are you going to do?"

"It's okay. I have a spare key at home. I had an extra key when I bought the lock. Come on, I'll take you to see how you deliver the goods."

He Yuzhu brought Cai Quanwu to the courtyard rented by Zhang Hu in Majia Hutong. When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they saw a lock on the door. It seemed that Zhang Hu was not in this courtyard today. Since the courtyard in Chunshu Hutong was rented to Zhang Hu and his friends, they only came to this courtyard when eggs arrived. Usually, no one was in the courtyard. He Yuzhu found the key in his pocket, unlocked the gate and pushed open the gate. "Uncle, this is the courtyard where eggs are usually stored. If you come and meet people in the future, just say that I arranged the delivery. There are a total of 6 people who ship out, namely Zhang Hu, Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhao Dashan, Yang Shulin, and Liu Changchuan."

He Yuzhu led Cai Quanwu into the courtyard, "Usually the eggs are placed in the main room, and the empty baskets after the eggs are sold are placed in the east wing. When the time comes, just pull the eggs over and put them in the main room. When you go back, remember to pull the empty baskets to the courtyard in Qudeng Hutong. Just do these two things well. The two courtyards are not far from each other. When you pull the eggs, remember to ride slowly and be careful not to break the eggs."

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention and try to be careful not to break the eggs."

"It's inevitable that a few eggs will be broken when transporting such a large basket. I also had broken eggs when I transported them myself before. It's okay as long as there are not too many. Here is the key to this yard. Keep it. If there is anything wrong or inappropriate in the future, just tell me. Uncle, I have explained everything I need to tell you. Is there anything you don't understand?"

"No, I remember everything you said, Zhuzi."

"Well, let's go. After we leave this yard, I will go straight back to Nanluoguxiang. I won't go to your place with you. Please go slowly on your way back."

"Zhu Zi, you too. By the way, if there is any news about the tavern in Daqianmen, where can I find you?"

"I go to work at the steel mill outside Dongzhimen at 8 o'clock every day. If the news is urgent, you can go directly to the steel mill to find me. If it is not urgent, you can go to my home in Nanluoguxiang after 2:2 in the afternoon. After the canteen of the steel mill is busy at noon, as long as the boss does not invite anyone to dinner in the evening, I can usually be home around o'clock."

After the two of them left the yard, He Yuzhu and Cai Quanwu parted ways. Cai Quanwu was thinking about the tavern, so he rode his tricycle to see how the tavern owner, Old Man He, was doing. After all, when he heard from Pian Ye that the people from the street office were going to parade Old Man He through the streets, Old Man He fainted while holding his chest. When Cai Quanwu arrived at the door of the tavern, he found that the door was closed and there was a faint cry coming from inside.

Cai Quanwu wanted to find someone to find out what happened in the tavern, but when he turned around, he saw Pianerye entertaining a group of kids with singing songs across the tavern.

"Look further inside, and you'll hear the story. It's said that Liu Bowen rebuilt our 49-city wall, but only built the inner 9, outer 7, and imperial 4. At the back, outside, he built a bell tower. Oh, oh, oh."

After singing, Pianerye asked the children, "Do you want to listen more?"

"Yes." Several children answered in unison.

"Then pay another 100 yuan."

"You need another 100 yuan. I've already given you 300 yuan."

"Oh, give me 300, give me 300 and you think you can listen to all the stories in the old city. How can that be possible? If you want to continue listening, go home and get the money, hey hey."

"Pianerye, let's go home and get the money."

"Nummy."

After the children left, Cai Quanwu pushed his tricycle up to him, took out 1000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Pianerye.

"Pian'erye, this is the money I paid for the music. Do you still remember me?"

Pianye took Cai Quanwu's money and took a look at it. "How can I not remember you? You are the man on the back seat of the bicycle of the tall and handsome young man who came here not long ago. That young man mistook me for someone else and called me "Uncle". You just listened to a few words and gave me so much money. It seems that you have something to ask me."

"Pian'er, you really have a keen eye. I really have something to ask you."

"Then ask me. There is really nothing I, Pian'er, don't know about Zhengyangmen."

"It's like this. I also live in our area. Just after noon, when I was passing by the guy who took me on a bike, wasn't the tavern still sealed? When I came back, I found that the seal on the door of the tavern was gone. I thought that the street office didn't seal the tavern anymore, so I wanted to go in and have some drinks. But I didn't expect that just as I was about to enter the door, I heard crying from inside the room, so I didn't dare to go in rashly. So I wanted to ask you what happened in the tavern opposite?"

"About this matter, you've asked the right person. The tavern has been unsealed, and it has not been unsealed." Pianerye shook his head and kept the suspense.

"Pianerye, you said the tavern was unsealed, but it wasn't unsealed at the same time. What does that mean? I'm confused."

"When you were driving by, the people from the street office wanted to arrest the tavern owner, Old Man He, and parade him through the streets. But Old Man He was stubborn and fainted while holding his chest. Guess what happened?"

"What happened to Boss He? Didn't they say that the people from the street office sent him to Union Hospital? It's impossible that Boss He didn't make it and died?"

"You guessed it right. The people from the subdistrict office rushed old man He to Union Hospital, but when they got him to the hospital, the doctor found that he was dead. He died before he even got to the hospital. There was no need to save him, so the people from the subdistrict office took him back from the hospital. In order to make it easier for his son He Yongxiang to see him off, the director of the subdistrict office removed the seal of the subdistrict office. However, the tavern can only open after the subdistrict office has completed the rectification of the tavern."

"I understand what you mean, Pian'erye. You mean that the tavern's premises have been unsealed, but the tavern's business has not been unsealed. This old man He lost his life because of selling watered-down wine. It's not worth it."

"Every sip and bite is determined by fate. Fortune and luck are beyond our control." Pianerye sang.

"Then you are busy with the movie, I will take my leave now."

"You walk slowly."

Cai Quanwu rode on his tricycle and went around the street to see if he could get some work. As he rode, he was thinking, "Old Man He is gone. His son He Yongxiang must be busy with his funeral these days. It's not a good time to go to his house to ask for information. After the funeral is over, I will go to the tavern to talk to He Yongxiang and find out what he has to say." Thinking of this, Cai Quanwu simply put his mind aside and parked his tricycle on the side of the road to wait for work.

What Cai Quanwu didn't expect was that at noon the next day after Mr. He's funeral, when Cai Quanwu passed by the tavern, he saw a sign hanging on the door of the tavern saying "For Sale". Cai Quanwu pushed open the door of the tavern and went in.

"is the boss around?"

He Yongxiang came out from behind and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"When I passed by the tavern just now, I saw a sign hanging at the door saying it was for sale. Are you selling it?"

"Yes, this tavern belongs to my father. I am his adopted son. Now that my father is dead, I want to go back to my hometown to serve my biological father. Why do you want to take over my tavern?"

"Yes, I have this plan. Can you first tell me how to transfer this tavern?"

"I won't hide it from you. This tavern my father left me is in trouble now. My father used to sell watered-down wine, and someone reported it. The street office wanted to arrest him and parade him through the streets. But he was stubborn and died before he could even catch his breath. I don't want to open this tavern anymore. If you really want to take over this tavern, I'll give you the whole tavern and everything in it for 5000 million."

"Can I see your house first?"

"Okay, come with me. I'll tell you. My house is connected to the pub and it's a two-story courtyard. If there hadn't been problems with the pub, I would never have sold it at this price."

Cai Quanwu followed He Yongxiang around the yard and looked at the row of pickle jars behind the tavern. "I heard that the pickles in your tavern are excellent. After I take over your tavern, can you give me your pickle recipe?"

"It's about the pickle recipe. No problem. If you really want it, I'll give it to you right away."

"Your yard is indeed magnificent. To tell you the truth, it is not me who wants to take over your pub, but a relative of mine. If you trust me, you can take down the transfer sign hanging on the door now. I will bring my relative over this afternoon, and we can pay the money and transfer the ownership directly. Do you think it's okay?"

He Yongxiang agreed immediately upon hearing this. "It's a deal. If you don't come this afternoon, I will put up the transfer sign again. If someone else takes over this tavern first, don't blame me."

"Then I'll leave first. Please stay and wait in the tavern for me to bring the money this afternoon."

He Yongxiang escorted Cai Quanwu out of the tavern and took down the transfer sign. He Yongxiang looked at Cai Quanwu riding away on his tricycle and felt proud. He finally met a sucker who didn't even bargain. In the morning, several people saw the transfer sign hanging at the door of his tavern and came into the tavern to ask him about it. At first, when they heard that he wanted 5000 million, they were tempted to buy it. But when they heard that the tavern was closed down by the street office because their father, Old Man He, sold diluted wine, they turned around and left. His father was also selling diluted wine, but he was reported. Not only was the tavern closed down, but he was also angry to death.

After Cai Quanwu came out of the tavern, he rode a tricycle to the steel mill where He Yuzhu worked. It was only a little after 12 o'clock and He Yuzhu should not have finished get off work yet. He Yuzhu could come with him directly from the steel mill after get off work. Cai Quanwu hurriedly rode the tricycle to the steel mill outside Dongzhimen. After arriving at the steel mill, Cai Quanwu asked the security guard at the door whether He Yuzhu had finished get off work. After learning from the security guard that He Yuzhu was still in the factory, he waited for He Yuzhu to finish get off work at the gate of the steel mill.

Cai Quanwu waited at the gate of the steel mill for less than 10 minutes, and saw He Yuzhu pushing a bicycle out of the steel mill. He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle to the gate of the steel mill and was about to greet the security guard on duty, but the security guard at the door spoke first.

"Chef He, you came at a good time. There's someone looking for you over there. That person was also in a hurry when he came, but when he heard that you were still in the factory, he was no longer in a hurry and ran to wait under the tree over there."

He Yuzhu looked in the direction the security guard pointed and saw that it was his cousin Cai Quanwu. "That man is my cousin. I guess he has something urgent to talk to me about. I'll go over and ask him what it is. You guys are busy."

"Uncle, you came directly to the steel mill to see me. Did something happen?" He Yuzhu pushed his bicycle to Cai Quanwu.

"Zhu Zi, I passed by the tavern you told me to look out for at noon today, and saw a sign for sale hanging on the door of the tavern. I went in to ask around, and found out that the owner of the tavern didn't want to run the business anymore, and wanted to sell the tavern and the things in it for 5000 million. After I heard the price the owner quoted, I asked him to take me to the backyard of the tavern to have a look. The tavern is a courtyard house with two entrances, and I felt that the price was very suitable, so I agreed with the owner that after you buy it, I will come directly to the steel mill to find you."

"Uncle, you rushed here in such a hurry. Have you eaten? I remember that the owner of the tavern, Old Man He, fainted and was sent to the hospital by the street office. Didn't he recover and be discharged so quickly? Why do you suddenly not want to do this job anymore?"

"The owner of the tavern you mentioned, Old Man He, fainted from anger that day, and he died on the way before the people from the street office could send him to the hospital. Now the owner of the tavern is his son, He Yongxiang, who was adopted by Old Man He from his younger brother. After Old Man He died and buried him, He Yongxiang wanted to go home to be filial to his biological father. In addition, the tavern was closed down by the street office, and if he wanted to continue running the tavern, he had to wait for the approval of the street office, so he wanted to transfer the tavern."

"I understand, uncle. If the tavern hadn't been closed down by the street office, I don't think 5000 million would have been enough to buy the tavern. This price is definitely a bargain. I don't have that much money on me, so I'll go home and get the money. You can go directly to the tavern to find He Yongxiang. Go over and talk to him first to avoid being snatched away by others. I'll go directly to the tavern to find you after I get the money."

"Okay, let's do as you say. I'll go to the tavern first, Zhuzi."

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to Nanluoguxiang home. Actually, all of He Yuzhu's money was in Fudi Dongtian. He could take out the money directly as long as he went in. However, the road was full of people and it was difficult to go in. In addition, 5000 million RMB was not a small amount of money. No one would carry so much money with them all day long. Therefore, He Yuzhu had to go home anyway to explain how the money came from.
