Siheyuan: Rebirth 52, intercepting Qin Huairu

The reason why the protagonist has not accumulated much savings despite his high daily expenses, limited working hours and income is due to his past habits and current life pressures.

In order to ensure that he could pay the household expenses on time, including the children's living expenses and other necessary expenses, he had to maintain a balanced lifestyle.

After helping him solve a problem of transporting corn and transporting a large amount of 400 kilograms of grain, the following days were extremely important and tense for him.

He not only had to think about how to prepare for the upcoming holidays to receive guests - that is, the meet-and-greet with Nan Yi.

This series of plans requires not only time scheduling considerations, but also the preparation of purchasing the necessary materials.

A puzzling phenomenon has emerged, and the uncertainty of "trading behavior" seems to be particularly obvious in recent times.

Either there are no transactions, or when there are transactions, they happen frequently, almost like a process that presupposes that he will benefit.

This seemingly chaotic situation may be a hint of opportunity, a reminder that someone may be willing to provide generous funding for specific things.

The next day, in order to welcome Nan Yi's visit, Jia Haoyun prepared all the necessary food and gifts in a secret base in advance. The preparations included five dou of white flour, five egg-laying chickens, three hundred kilograms of coarse grain receipts and several items collected from the mountains.

Although these may seem small in quantity, due to current price changes in the market, they have already exceeded a certain value range.

It is extremely cost-effective to use these things as bargaining chips to exchange for rare items such as the "Chicken Cup".

Even considering that the authenticity of the items cannot be verified (even if fakes exist), the other items are still valuable and practical to Jia Haoyun.

There are many resources stored in the space, and they will not be wasted when used.

However, a long time had passed since the agreed time at noon, but Nan Yi still hadn't shown up, which made Jia Haoyun impatiently go out to check on him. Finally, he found that the guest was absent-mindedly smoking on the side of the avenue.

After learning the cause of the incident, Jia Haoyun felt relieved. It turned out that his new friend got lost while looking for his location because he was unfamiliar with the road.

Jia Haoyun took Nan Yi back to his base again.

At first, Nan Yi tried to recall the memories marked on the route, but he soon became confused and simply followed the guidance.

Seeing the goods piled up in the living room makes me feel much better.

At this time, Jia Haoyun gave him a receipt for 300 kilograms of grain. After a simple calculation in his mind, Nan Yi found that this was far more than the original estimated value.

As an experienced veteran who likes to explore various markets and night markets, he has his own unique understanding of the prices of goods.

Knowing that some people would pay high prices to grab scarce items during critical periods, he understood that the highs and lows of these prices were not easy to assess.

After careful consideration, I think it would be a bit rash to buy just one golden carp, but it might be a bit too expensive to buy two.

However, in the end he decided to take out the two carps to fill the possible price gap and pass them on to Jia Haoyun.

You should know that this kind of small golden carp is usually two or three grams in size, and a single or two of them can indeed attract attention.

But if we look at it from a market value perspective, this difference is not that important in today's economic environment.

Especially when considering the current extreme shortage of supplies and the difficulty in circulating small goldfish, the results after comparison often show that they do not have higher purchasing power than other available supplies.

As Jia Haoyun examined the items on the ground, he did a quick mental calculation. Because he wanted to give generously, he had forgotten to consider his own portion of the commission. After calculating the profit point of the deal, he discovered that he might actually be putting the guest at a slight disadvantage in this round of exchange.

Realizing this, Jia Haoyun did not want this meeting to have a negative impact on his friend's interests.

So I took his advice and took out a small basket from my locker. There were twenty fresh egg whites and a small piece of uncooked steak in it to make up the difference. This way, I didn't lose anything and maybe even had a little surplus.

"Jia Haoyun, this is not right. How can you let others suffer?"

Nan Yi seemed a little embarrassed and was still hesitant when dealing with the two small yellow croakers.

This situation is like in later generations when each item is originally worth only three or four dollars, and you choose to pay six dollars or two dollars; you will feel unhappy if the buyer gives too much, but if it is too little, you are worried that you will not be able to explain it.

Unexpectedly, Jia Haoyun generously gave some additional money and also paid the change.

In this case, how can a buyer not feel uncomfortable and satisfied?

"Don't be so polite, the meal has been prepared long ago, please go to the inner room to eat.

"As soon as Jia Haoyun finished speaking, he pulled Nan Yi to the inner room to have dinner together.

This time Jia Haoyun did not prepare any meat, as he knew that sometimes going too far would backfire.

Therefore, he prepared simple dishes: a stir-fried tofu, a serving of potato and millet porridge, and a few pickled vegetables.

That bowl of potato and millet porridge is really rare. The potatoes are stewed delicately and smoothly, and the millet has absorbed enough water, making it taste extremely delicious.

In fact, this kind of cooking is achieved by Jia Haoyun using the rice cooker in his own small world. If he used a large iron pot, his cooking skills might not reach this level.

The two of them had a hearty meal, quickly finishing the small portion of potato and millet porridge and fried tofu, and they still felt reluctant to leave.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Haoyun asked Nan Yi to take a rest and handed the key to him.

“There are still a lot of items here, you can sort them out carefully when you have time.

Once you're done, just leave the key under the small stone slab outside the door.

"Nan Yi was distressed to see so many things that needed to be sorted out. With this instruction, he had enough time to sort them out one by one.

Although not all of these things belong to him, he can share them with some of his friends at night.

My biggest concern right now is how to familiarize myself with the route back to avoid getting lost again.

Late at night, Nan Yi returned to his residence, put his things away, and immediately knocked on his neighbor's door.

He didn't intend to do anything special for this, he just wanted to give Liu Di a few hens that were good at laying eggs, and the total number of eggs was exactly five.

Among them, three hens were kept by his old friends.

As for the reason, he was not sure why he wanted to give these little hens to Liang Ladi.

The reason finally given was simply out of sympathy for the child's fate and being quite satisfied with the clothes Liang Ladi specially made for him. Although this statement is a bit far-fetched, it is understandable!

Afterwards, she deliberately acted aggressively so that no one would dare to offend her and her daughter.

Someone actually knocked on the door boldly. She was just about to teach this person a lesson so that he would completely get rid of those bad thoughts.

“It’s me, I’m Nan Yi, and I brought you some gifts.

"Nan Yi spoke quietly.

For fear of causing unnecessary trouble, he did not dare to deliver anything during the day, and he did not want to give himself the opportunity to attract gossip.

He is not married yet, but he doesn't want to leave a bad reputation in marriage. After all, finding a wife in the future is a big deal.

“Nan Yi, this is the person.

"Liang Ladi replied with a smile.

How come this person suddenly became so bold as to come find her?

At that time, she didn't even accept the small favor. Could it be that she regretted it?

To protect herself, she put on some clothes, held a pair of small scissors tightly in her hand and hid them behind her back, while remaining alert.

Although she had a slight crush on Nan Yi, she was not yet deeply attracted to him.

You still need to keep an eye on this guy to make sure he has no bad intentions.

After Liang Ladi opened the door, Nan Yi rushed in and quickly closed the door.

However, he failed to notice that Liang Ladi was holding a pair of scissors behind her back, ready to counterattack at the slightest movement.

"What are you still standing there for? Don't you see what's in my hands? Hold on tight and take good care of your injuries. This is the fruit of my hard work.

"

Nan Yi immediately reminded her when he saw this.

I feel a little unhappy. Why does the other party lack basic insight?

It was not until the moon shone into the room that Liang Ladi could see clearly what living things she was holding in her hands - two chicks. At this moment, she relaxed her grip on the scissors slightly.

However, "Why don't you turn on the light? Is it fair and aboveboard now? Nan Yi verbally refuted.

When you visit someone in the middle of the night and deliver a gift, you should be a little cautious, right?

But Nan Yi insisted on his attitude, showing the stubbornness of a male chauvinist, confident that he had no undue expectations and that he should behave properly.

Conflicts with late-night deliveries are not taken into consideration.

"Forget it, I'm worried about disturbing the children.

“Such words seem to imply that there is a blood or family connection between the two.

In fact, Liang Ladi knew the characteristics of men very well. She liked to save face and often spoke in a stiff tone. At this moment, her words were also tactful and moderate.

Hearing this, Nan Yi breathed a sigh of relief and no longer insisted on turning on the lights; otherwise, this behavior might become an inappropriate act that disturbs the neighbors.

Liang Ladi accepted the chickens and observed them carefully.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that these two chickens can actually lay eggs. They are truly a treasure among treasures! If you take good care of these two chickens, you can enjoy fresh and tender eggs every day.

In today's environment, eggs are worth a fortune and can even be exchanged for physical objects instead of cash.

Then, Nan Yi casually suggested: "I happen to have a pair of scissors, please help loosen the straps that tie the chicken.

Is the bird cage still at home?" After saying this, I realized the problem - why did this guy always keep the scissors next to him?

"Ah! He is wary of me!" Nan Yi immediately thought of this. At the same time, he remained silent about the matter and even felt a little fortunate.

It seems that the "disregard for face" that people have rumored does not exist in this woman named "Liang Ladi".

"Yes, I'll bring it right away.

" After saying that, she stood up and went to get the cage.

Li Ruilian was so excited that she momentarily forgot about the knife she was looking for.

Fortunately, Nan Yi did not bring up this issue, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.
