Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

He Yuzhu stood in front of the factory gate, his eyes fell on the factory sign hanging on the lintel, and he felt a little surprised.

He turned around and said to He Daqing beside him: "Dad, I didn't expect you to get into such a big company so quickly."

He Daqing was holding Yu Shui's hand, and when he heard his words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but he deliberately put on a stern face, not wanting to appear too proud.

He walked towards the gate at the factory entrance, and when he got to the gate, he said with a smile, "Comrade, I'm He Daqing from the kitchen, I have something to ask."

The guard looked up and saw that the visitor was He Daqing, a well-known chef in the factory, and a friendly smile appeared on his face.

He quickly responded, "It's Master He. Just register and go in and find him."

He Daqing nodded and filled in the information in the register. He turned around and handed the rain to He Yuzhu, saying, "Zhuzi, you two wait here for a while."

Not long after, He Daqing was seen leading a young man over. When passing by the gate, He Daqing said a few words to the guard, and then walked straight towards He Yuzhu.

He Daqing walked up to He Yuzhu and pointed at the young man next to him: "Zhuzi, this is the Yang Qing I told you about.

His relative raises donkeys. You can ask him for details. Yushui and I will leave first. I will take Yushui to the guesthouse to meet you in the evening."

After He Daqing gave He Yuzhu instructions, he took Yu Shui's hand and continued their journey to defend the city.

"Okay! I got it. Just have fun with Yu Shui." He Yuzhu waved goodbye to He Daqing and his daughter.

He Yuzhu turned around, looked at Yang Qing in front of him, smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello! I'm He Yuzhu, I'm really troubling you today."

Seeing that He Daqing's son was so polite to him, Yang Qing quickly shook his hand and said politely, "No, no, you are too polite. This brings business to my uncle, I can't thank you enough."

He Yuzhu smiled and let go of his hand, took out a cigarette and handed it to Yang Qing: "I just came here too, and I wanted to find a reliable person to show me the way, so my father mentioned you to me."

Yang Qing took the cigarette and smiled: "My uncle is definitely fine, absolutely reliable. I am still working under Master He!"

He then told He Yuzhu about his uncle's situation, and added, "When you get there, just say you're looking for Yang Laoguan. Everyone in the area knows him. If you mention my name to my uncle, I'm sure he won't fool you."

"Okay, thank you very much!" After saying that, He Yuzhu stuffed the remaining cigarettes into his hand, turned and left the factory gate, preparing to go to the place Yang Qing mentioned to buy a donkey.

After crossing the city streets and arriving at the suburbs, He Yuzhu finally arrived near his destination.

He stood in front of a slightly shabby courtyard, knocked on the door, and shouted loudly: "Is this Mr. Yang's home?"

As the gate creaked open, a little old man pushed it open and walked out, wearing slightly worn clothes.

He squinted his eyes and looked at He Yuzhu, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Who is it?"

He Yuzhu saw this and quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face: "Hello! I'm here to buy a donkey. I was introduced by Yang Qing."

When Mr. Yang heard Yang Qing's name, his eyes moved and he looked at He Yuzhu carefully: "Which Yang Qing are you talking about?"

"Yang Qing from the kitchen of the machinery factory." He Yuzhu replied.

When Mr. Yang heard this, he smiled, nodded and said, "Then come in!"

He Yuzhu followed Yang Laoguan into the yard. Seeing that Yang was holding a pipe in his hand, he took out his cigarette box and gave him one.

Mr. Yang took the cigarette, put it between his ears, took a puff of the tobacco, and looked at He Yuzhu with satisfaction.

"Young man, most of my donkeys have been booked out. But you were introduced by my nephew, so I can give you a few. How many do you want?" asked Mr. Yang.

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and asked Yang Laoguan, "Are all the donkeys here big? Or are there donkey foals as well?"

When Mr. Yang heard him say this, he understood: "We have small ones, but I can only give you a pair. I can give you two large ones. What do you plan to choose?"

He Yuzhu thought about it for a while, and decided to buy a big one and kill it for meat: "Then I want a pair of small ones, and just give me one big one."

When Mr. Yang heard his request, he smiled so much that his face wrinkled up: "Okay, then, come with me to the fence in the backyard to choose."

He Yuzhu followed Yang Laoguan's footsteps, crossed the front yard, and came to the spacious backyard.

His eyes inadvertently swept across the animal pen, and he didn't expect to find something unexpected inside.

He Yuzhu pointed at the cubs in the fence and said in surprise, "Mr. Yang, you still have lambs and piglets here?"

Old Yang turned around and looked in the direction He Yuzhu pointed, then nodded with a smile: "This is not much, these are bought occasionally by the villagers nearby."

He Yuzhu rubbed his hands happily and asked eagerly, "Haha, can I buy a pair of each?"

Mr. Yang took a puff of his pipe, exhaled the smoke, and nodded: "Why not? We can settle it together when the time comes."

When He Yuzhu heard this, a smile immediately broke out on his face. He didn't expect that this time it would be so smooth and he could even buy two more cubs.

He thought about the need for a lot of money, and asked, "Mr. Yang, can you give me some dollars? I'm a little short of money to buy two more pairs of cubs."

After he said that, he took out a dollar from his backpack and showed it to Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang took the dollar and blew it to his lips out of habit. When he heard that the quality was good, he nodded and said, "Okay, this dollar is fine."

"Don't worry, it's the same price. My father is the chef in Yang Qing's factory, I won't cheat you."

When Mr. Yang heard He Yuzhu's background, he felt more at ease. After all, it was risky to accept big money without knowing his background.

It's not just the fear of receiving fake goods and suffering losses. Private transactions are not allowed now. If someone reports it, not only will you lose the goods, but you will also have to go to jail.

He Yuzhu settled the price with Yang Laoguan in the backyard and paid the money promptly.

He walked out of the yard, leading the donkey and its colt in his hands, with a bundle of piglets and lambs on the big donkey's back.

After leaving this area, He Yuzhu found a secluded place and put all the livestock into a sanctuary.

Looking at the limited feed in Fudi’s warehouse, I plan to find a grain store and buy a batch to last for a while.

It’s almost the end of the month. After delivering goods to Guan’s house, I will change to growing some high-yield grains to feed the livestock.

He Yuzhu arrived in the city and spent the whole afternoon running around several grain stores. He was busy until the evening before he bought a batch of grains bit by bit.

He took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He felt a little hungry. He found a restaurant and had a quick dinner, then walked towards the guesthouse.

When He Yuzhu walked into the guesthouse, he saw He Daqing and Yu Shui sitting on a stool, waiting for him to come back.

"Zhu Zi, what took you so long?" He Daqing asked him with concern when he saw him.

"It took some time to find a place," He Yuzhu explained.

He Daqing nodded to show his understanding, then lowered his head and said to Yu Shui: "Yu Shui, Dad is going back. You should follow your brother and come here to see Dad next time."

After hearing this, Yu Shui's eyes flashed with reluctance. She held He Daqing's hand tightly and looked at him eagerly.

He Daqing could only harden his heart, let go of Yu Shui's hand, stood up and walked out the door.
