Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

I went to the black market on the way and found a hat to disguise myself. The atmosphere of the black market here is quite different from that in Beijing.

Over there, everyone was sneaking around as if they were ready to run away at any time, but over here, everything looked so well organized, just like a street vendor. Except for the lack of shouting, everything else was no different. It was a complete change compared to last time.

There were only a few things in front of the sellers, and they were all chatting in groups of three or five. The most outrageous thing was that some sellers were catching up on their sleep, snoring loudly. It was a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere, but everyone seemed a little idle...

After a long time, they didn't find the black-faced elder brother, but instead attracted two people. A man and a young man walked up to Zhang Xingwang. The young man looked listless and had a hunched back. The man was estimated to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. His thin face was similar to Xu Damao's. His curly hair fluttered in the wind, and he wore clothes that were neither new nor old. He looked like a cool guy...

He walked up to Zhang Xingwang, holding a cigarette between his teeth, and tried hard to force out a familiar smile. Zhang Xingwang didn't even need to recall to know that this person was the one who was watching the scene.

"Little brother, what do you need? It's no problem for me. Seeing your temperament, I have a wolfskin coat..."

Zhang Xingwang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and replied:

"Brother, what I hate most is wolfskin coats. Let me ask you about a guy who was also here before. He has a dark face and looks a lot like you when he smiles."

The curly-haired guy on the opposite side was startled, and looked at Zhang Xingwang carefully. Then he was overjoyed, and smiled like a corn cob. He grabbed Zhang Xingwang's hand and said:

"It's you, not bad... not bad brother, you see, I am shortsighted, aren't I? Dadong told me before he left that it was all a misunderstanding, and it's really inappropriate for you to use the wolf skin.

Hey, take the tiger-skin coat that Brother Dong left behind, and run forward, so fast..."

"Brother, I really don't want a coat, I just want to take a look around."

Curly-haired brother said with a warm smile without any hesitation:

"You are being too formal, aren't you? Brother Dong has already said that you and we are meant to be together. Don't worry, brother. Although Brother Dong is not here, I am not bad either. I will take you to have a look first..."

Then Curly Brother enthusiastically took Zhang Xingwang for a stroll, tilted his head and asked him if he had found anyone he liked.

Zhang Xingwang was also a little disappointed. There were still a lot of supplies on the black market, but this curly-haired guy had a special hobby. He spent five of the ten minutes he spent listening to him proudly introducing medicinal liquors, ranging from those for sika deer to those for zebras, and even for leopard whips.

"Brother, these are all good things. It's not a big deal whether you make some for yourself or give them to others. These are for serious people to use."

This is a bit disrespectful. Zhang Xingwang asked doubtfully:

"Brother, this is the first time I've heard of this Leopard Whip Wine. Although I can't use it, after hearing what you said, I think these are quite valuable for collection. Please pack them for me."

"No problem. I know you're a serious person. Just listen to me and take everything. It's only a matter of time. But there's nothing wrong with keeping it first. After all, everyone has an emergency..."

The rest were nothing fresh, just dried mushrooms, black fungus and so on. As for the meat, Curly Brother rubbed his hands and said that there were not many people hunting this month, as they were all busy working in the fields. Even if there were big fish, they would not come from far away, after all, they would not be fresh if they came from a long distance.

"Brother, can you not tilt your head when talking to me? You open and close your head like an owl. I'm not used to it."

"Well... I'm used to it. Don't worry, I'm a serious person. I really didn't know you were coming this time, and I can't let you make a wasted trip. Otherwise, tell me what you want, and I'll definitely pack it for you tomorrow."

Looking at the curly-haired brother whose smile was uglier than that of the third aunt, Zhang Xingwang thought for a moment and replied:

"Alright, I'll come back in two days to trade with Brother Dadong for the things I traded last time. We'll talk about the details then."

Curly Brother was a little unhappy after hearing this. After all, business has been a little slow recently. He had finally waited for this rich brother, so how could he give up so easily?

He said that he was really a serious person and was at the rising stage of his career. In terms of smiling service and treating people with sincerity, no one among them could compare to him except Brother Dadong, so he must believe in his professional ethics.

It is said that he was once verbally praised by his eldest brother’s eldest brother, who insisted on pulling Zhang Xingwang to let him look at his sincere eyes…

Zhang Xingwang looked at Curly Brother trying to change his owl look, patted him on the shoulder and consoled him:

"Brother, why don't you just keep practicing and I'll come back to see you..."

"In fact, you have already felt half of the sincerity, right? Brother, this is an old problem of mine. Don't think wrongly. I just stayed up late at night. Not to mention people, even owls do this.

By the way, do you still want the ones you just watched?"

"Except for the tiger skins that have not been taken yet, we want the rest."

Curly-haired brother was very efficient. He arranged for people to move the things while struggling with his eyes. He also carefully put labels on the wine jars. He said that this would make customers feel sincere. He also said that he was the one who followed the rules set by the eldest brother the most...

After Curly Brother and his men moved the things out, they walked into a dark alley, then walked away reluctantly while counting the money with his head tilted. The way he tilted his head and looked back every three steps was quite funny.

Zhang Xingwang watched him walk away before he put it away. He spent more than 300 yuan, and in addition to the wine, he also bought more than kilograms of dried black fungus and more than kilograms of dried mushrooms. It's useless to stockpile too much of this stuff, so it's better to try to get some fresh meat.

Looking around, Zhang Xingwang felt that he had to find a safe place. After all, the quantity this time was not small. He estimated that the wood ear mushrooms alone would be enough to last him two years, not to mention anything else.

He strolled back to the guesthouse. The aunt at the front desk saw that he had nothing in his hands and didn't ask him where he had been. Instead, she kept asking him if the girl had agreed. From the way her eyelids were drooping, I knew that if she hadn't been waiting for an answer, she would have gone to bed long ago. She casually replied:

"He didn't agree, but finally became my sworn brother..."

"Don't be discouraged. You look so energetic. How about I introduce you to a pretty girl?"

"Don't do that. I'll be back to the capital in just a few days."

Old man Lu had already arrived home with the young man. Looking at his sleeping wife and little daughter, he shook them, but failed to wake them up.

"Hurry up and get up and eat the grapes."

"Why are you eating grapes so late at night? What's wrong with eating them tomorrow?"

The old man was getting up while mumbling something, when he saw that his daughter had already gotten up and started eating.

Then the old man grumbled to his wife. Five minutes later, the old lady went out while eating a bunch of grapes. In half an hour, more than a dozen ragged old men came back.
