Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

After dinner, Liu Ping'an prepared to return to the courtyard.

This is what a buyer’s job is like. You don’t have to stay in the factory when you have nothing to do.

Most of the time buyers are on business trips.

If the procurement work does not go smoothly, we have to go to a farther place, which may take ten days or half a month.

In this era when it is hard to leave one's hometown, many people are actually reluctant to go out.

Therefore, even though the purchasing agent is a cadre (clerk) when he arrives, not many people choose this profession. Among the eight major types of personnel, salesperson, driver, childcare worker, cook, and barber are all popular jobs.

Countless people are rushing towards these careers and striving to change jobs as soon as possible.

The salesperson is the best.

The work is simple, there are no targets, and no overtime. It is the career that Xianyu wants most.

Other jobs that require traveling, like purchasing agents, include postmen and projectionists, who both have to travel to the countryside.

Liu Ping'an got on his bicycle, greeted Cao Weiguo cordially at the door, then disappeared in front of the steel rolling mill and drove towards the courtyard.

Riding a bicycle, Liu Ping'an also became a sight on the street.

Countless people stared at him, which made Liu Ping'an feel a little proud.

After riding for a while, Liu Ping'an arrived at the courtyard.

As soon as he rode into the courtyard, Liu Ping'an saw a man with a ugly face and his third uncle's son Yan Jiekuang squatting at the gate.

There was a group of people gathered nearby, talking and looking outside the gate.

This made Liu Ping'an a little puzzled.

As soon as Yan Jiekuang and the other man saw Liu Ping'an, they rushed up to him in great joy.

This made Liu Ping'an subconsciously perform Wing Chun.

"What are you two doing?"

"Brother Ping'an, this is Xu Damao, he is also from the hospital."

Yan Jiekuang introduced it briefly and then looked at the bicycle under Liu Ping'an in surprise.

"Brother Ping An, where did you get your bicycle?"

Liu Ping'an felt a little proud when talking about this. It's a pity that he doesn't smoke, otherwise he would smoke with one hand and tilt his head back, and his temperament would come out immediately.

"This is a reward from Deputy Director Li of the Steel Mill..."

"Is it the blind bear's business?"

Just as Liu Ping'an was about to explain the reason, Yan Jiekuang answered anxiously. Liu Ping'an's attempt failed, so he had no choice but to nod.

Yan Jiekuang got the correct answer, his face flushed with excitement, and he shouted to the person beside him: "See, I guessed right, I said it was from our hospital."

The people around him were even more noisy at this time, and they all looked at Liu Ping'an with surprise and admiration.

"Brother Damao said that a buyer at the steel mill killed a bear and his name was Liu Ping'an."

"I guessed it was you!"

Yan Jiekuang was young and was very interested in these things. He took Liu Ping'an's hand and shook it: "Brother Ping'an, tell me how you beat the bear. Was that blind bear powerful?"

Although Liu Ping'an occasionally wants to show off in front of others, most of the time he prefers to hide behind and enjoy himself quietly.

He stands at the gate and tells stories. Doesn't that make him a street performer?

"Nothing, just two shots. It's the same if you come. Besides, is it appropriate for me to say these things standing at the gate?"

Liu Ping'an was in a hurry to go in, so he said something perfunctorily to Yan Jiekuang and rode his bike into the yard.

Yan Jiekuang also reacted, let go of his hand and scratched his hair embarrassedly.

When Liu Ping'an rode into the courtyard, he found that many people knew about it and other residents in the courtyard were discussing him.

"That must be Liu Ping'an. I didn't expect that one cannot judge a person by his appearance. He actually killed the blind bear!"

"That's him. I helped him when he moved in. My initial impression was that he seemed gentle and polite. I didn't expect he had such ability."

"You guys are just making a fuss. I have a gun and I can kill a bear just as well!"

"Just you? There are so many people in the security department who have guns. When they have time, they go to the mountains and often come back empty-handed. I don't see them gaining anything."

"You're right. You're usually afraid to walk at night. If you encounter a bear, you'll probably pee your pants."

Hearing these discussions, Liu Ping'an had already arrived at his door.

He locked the car and looked thoughtfully at the ugly face at the gate.

"It's probably Xu Damao who said that."

"This guy is a projectionist. The other workers are still in the factory at this time."

When Liu Ping'an moved in, Xu Damao was not at home. He must have gone to the countryside to show movies.

"I wonder if this guy is as selfish and sanctimonious as in the TV series. He looks like he's not married yet..."

Liu Ping'an moved into the courtyard house, and he didn't see Lou Xiao'e for two days, including during his two days in the countryside.

"Xu Damao's house is in the backyard, but I didn't see her come out. It's likely that she hasn't had any relationship with Xu Damao yet."

Liu Ping'an pushed open the door and walked into the room.

"Who cares if she's related or not? She's not my ideal match anyway. I should just live my life well now."

Liu Ping'an took out a cup, poured out the spiritual spring water in the space, and took a big sip.

"It's so comfortable, even better than drinking Coke."

dong dong dong~

Liu Ping'an was a little surprised when he heard the knock on the door. He had a good relationship with Qin Huairu in the courtyard, and the third uncle was also an acquaintance.

But at that time, one of them was in a steel mill and the other was in school.

Who's knocking at the door now?

Liu Ping'an opened the door and saw an old lady with green eyes and a somewhat mean face standing in front of the door.

This is?

Although the old lady looked difficult to get along with, she was not so stupid as to just walk into the house.

She looked at Liu Ping'an with a puzzled look in her eyes: "Young man, are you Liu Ping'an who moved in some time ago?"

"It's me, I wonder who you are?"

Although they were strangers, Liu Ping'an still wanted to be kind to them.

After all, the old lady in front of me didn't do anything.

"I live next door. Qin Huairu is my daughter-in-law. You can just follow the others and call me Jia Zhang."

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, she looked inside stealthily.

It turned out to be her?

Liu Ping'an had read quite a few Siheyuan fan fictions in his previous life, in which Jia Zhang was either the number one or number two villain.

Never seen a positive image.

"I'd better call you Granny Zhang..."

Liu Ping'an didn't like to have preconceived ideas, so he opened the door and invited Jia Zhang in and poured her a glass of water.

"Granny Zhang, Sister Qin and I are from the same hometown and have had a good relationship since childhood. Is there anything you need my help with?"

Liu Ping'an did not hide his relationship with Qin Huairu and told Jia Zhang frankly.

If you can do it, you can do it. If you can’t do it, you can’t do it.

If Liu Ping'an doesn't want to do something, he will refuse even if Jia Zhang is his biological mother. He never considers relationships when doing things.

He was not afraid that Jia Zhang would use this matter to blackmail him.

When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "I heard from Xu Damao that you killed a blind bear and sent the meat to the factory."

"Yes, I am a buyer, this is my responsibility."

Jia Zhang didn't understand what he meant, but smiled and said, "You still have a lot of bear meat, right? My grandson hasn't eaten meat for a long time..."

Jia Zhang is indeed an old hand, she has no embarrassment in speaking.

But Liu Ping'an didn't care. He had been an auxiliary police officer in his previous life and had met so many weird and outrageous people.

It is simply unimaginable for ordinary people.

There are countless people who say, “I called the police first, you have to help me.”

In his eyes, people like Jia Zhang are ordinary people.

"Granny Zhang, I've only been working for a month, how could I possibly hide anything? All the bear meat has been delivered to the factory."

Liu Ping'an took a sip of water, and seeing Jia Zhang's unhappy expression, he smiled and said, "I think Brother Zhuzi is the chef in the factory. Mother-in-law, you can find him. He handles all the meat."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she thought it made sense.

Also, she had come out earlier and had been watching Liu Ping'an coming in from the gate, and she had no place to hide anything on her body.

Plus, he's just started working and isn't a veteran, so it's probably true.

When her son Jia Dongxu first started working, he was also honest and hardworking.

"Yes, that brat Shazhu often brings lunch boxes here, and he will probably bring some tonight as well. He's a seasoned veteran and definitely keeps things to himself, so it's right to ask him for help."

Since the matter was resolved, Jia Zhangshi didn't think about asking Liu Ping'an for the meat and was about to get up and leave.

"Mother-in-law, drink the water first, otherwise people might think I'm not treating you well, which is not good."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she thought the young man was quite polite.

Originally, Liu Ping'an moved into the yard without telling her, and she still felt a little resentful, so she wanted him to understand what it meant to respect the elderly and love the young.

It seems that she was wrong.

Jia Zhang picked up the cup and took a sip, and felt that the taste was strange.

"What's in this? It tastes weird?"

"Nothing was put in it. Mother-in-law, I think it's just your psychology. This is well water, how could it taste weird?"

"I see, it's because you stopped eating meat when you were well that this happened."

Jia Zhang thought so too. She saw with her own eyes that Liu Ping'an poured the water and he drank it, so why didn't he find it strange?

It seems like I didn’t get to eat the meat. I’ll have to ask Shazhu for meat later.

Therefore, she liked Liu Ping'an more and more.

"You're a good young man. Let's get closer to each other in the future."

"Okay, thank you, Granny Zhang."

Jia Zhang left the room with satisfaction and returned to her own room.

Liu Ping'an saw her leave, smiled, closed the door, and walked into the kitchen.

He had just replaced the spiritual spring water here with water from the rice fields in the countryside, mixed with Xiaoqiang and Xiaotao's urine. Would it not be strange to drink it?

His way of dealing with people with this kind of personality is to make the words he chooses sound pleasant to the ear and the content he expresses sound to be in line with her wishes, but in reality it cannot be accomplished due to certain circumstances.

This is the experience Liu Ping'an summarized from his work.

This is what Mr. Lu Xun said:

"People always like to reconcile and compromise. For example, if you say that this room is too dark and you need to open a window here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the window."

Relatively speaking, what Mr. Lu Xun said is useful to normal people in most cases.

But once you meet a stubborn person, he will really tear down your roof.

So you need to choose your words carefully.

Especially when facing such a person with rigid thinking, it is harder than climbing to the sky to convince her. The only way is to change the process, which can also achieve the goal.

Don’t you want meat? I don’t have any. As a chef, how could He Yuzhu not have any?

The so-called dead Taoist friend is not dead but a poor Taoist.

He Yuzhu, since you always like to bring lunch boxes from the factory, and you are familiar with Jia Zhang, it would be most appropriate for you two to negotiate.

As for whether Liu Ping'an has any extra bear meat?

Of course he has them, they are all stored in the warehouse in Lingquan Space.

The main reason he didn't take it out was that he didn't want to become familiar with Jia Zhang, otherwise it would cause endless trouble.

This is also his work experience. You call the police and I will handle it. We have a working relationship.

No matter how weird you are, I will still patiently persuade you.

I don't know if it will work, but at least I'm trying to persuade you here.

But if we become friends with someone, that won’t do, I don’t want to have to deal with trouble every day and make my life a mess.

It's a thankless job and you're asking for trouble.
