Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Before dawn in the morning, Xu Changping got up and left the courtyard, heading straight for the nearby pigeon market.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley in Gezi City, Xu Changping smelled that special fragrance.

Following the smell, Xu Changping didn't see the little girl selling dried tofu last time. Instead, he saw an old man in his sixties.

At this moment, there was an old lady in front of him, pulling his basket with her hand and saying something.

"Sell me this dried tofu for one dollar!"

When Xu Changping approached and heard this, he immediately quickened his pace. Although the dried tofu was of no use to him, he could give it to the Yang Xiaoyue sisters, or he could give it to his master as a tribute.

Xu Changping saw the old man staggering after being pulled, and he walked over in two steps, snatched the basket from the old lady's hand, and said:

"What are you doing?"

"You little bastard, why did you hit me?" The old lady shouted with a sullen face when Xu Changping snatched the basket from her hands.

"You almost pushed this old man down just now, didn't you see it?" The voice of Aunt Xu Changping attracted many people's attention. She didn't mention the tofu, but directly told them what she had just seen.

"That's right. I saw it just now. The woman kept pulling the old man's basket and almost knocked him down. Fortunately, the young man held her." Upon hearing Xu Changping's words, passers-by immediately stood up.

"That's right, this old man clearly said that his things have been reserved, but this woman just won't give in."

The young man who was setting up a stall next to the old man also spoke up. He had also smelled the fragrance of the dried tofu just now, but when he heard that someone had already ordered it, he gave up.

"I don't care. Today, either you give me this basket of dried tofu as compensation, or you compensate me with two dollars." The old lady didn't care at all about the contemptuous looks around her. She looked at Xu Changping and the old man and said viciously.

"Forget it, young man, why don't you compensate her with this dried tofu!" Seeing that she was unwilling to give in, the old man said to Xu Changping helplessly.

"Give it to me." After hearing what the old man said, the old lady immediately reached out to grab the basket from Xu Changping's hand.

Xu Changping pulled back the hand holding the basket, and the old lady's hand was empty, and she fell towards Xu Changping due to inertia.

Seeing this, Xu Changping pulled the old man next to him to the left. There was no one blocking the old woman in front of her, and she fell to the ground with a bang.

While she was still asleep, Xu Changping pulled the old man out from the crowd.

"This..." The old man looked at the surrounding environment with a confused look on his face.

Wasn't he just arguing with that woman? Why did he suddenly leave the pigeon market?

"Uncle, this tofu was ordered by me. I ordered it from a little girl last time." Xu Changping described Sun Yue's appearance.

"It's you, young man." The old man said in surprise after hearing Xu Changping's words.

"Well, this is the money for today's dried tofu."

Xu Changping had just been carrying the dried tofu and knew that the weight was the same as last time, so he simply took out two yuan and handed it to the old man.

"Okay, okay." The old man took the money, packed the dried tofu skillfully and handed it to Xu Changping.

"Uncle, is this all the tofu you make every Friday?" Xu Changping asked tentatively.

"Hey, even if I want to go long, there aren't that many beans!" said the old man with a sigh.

"What if I produce the beans? You can help me make more at one time." Xu Changping said after thinking for a while.

"No, young man. It's not that I don't want to make it for you, but these beans are rare. Ordinary beans can't produce this taste." The old man refused helplessly.

Doesn't he know that this dried tofu can make money? One and a half pounds can be sold for 2 yuan. If he makes more than ten pounds a day, it is more than a temporary worker's monthly salary.

He also experimented with ordinary beans, and just like his granddaughter said, only the special beans she got could produce this flavor.

"Is that so? Then how about this, uncle? You don't have to come here to sell anymore. Let's set a fixed time and send it to my home after it's done, or I can pick it up from your house."

"This...I have to go home and discuss it with my granddaughter." The old man said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Okay, if possible, you can go directly to the Red Star Steel Mill and ask for Xu Changping in the infirmary." Xu Changping left the address of the Red Star Steel Mill to the old man and then went home carrying the dried tofu.

Thinking of the incident that happened last time when he brought dried tofu back to the courtyard, Xu Changping turned into an empty alley and when he came out, the two oil paper bags he was holding were filled with fresh dried tofu.

Sure enough, this time the smell did not cause any questions from the aunties in the courtyard, and Xu Changping breathed a sigh of relief.

This good thing must be hidden. You have to know that he is not the only special person in this courtyard.

After returning home and changing his clothes, Xu Changping rode his bicycle to work.

"Brother Xu, Brother Xu."

Not long after leaving the courtyard, Xu Damao caught up with us on a bicycle.

"Brother Damao, why are you up so early today?" Xu Changping said with a smile when he saw Xu Damao, who was tired and panting.

"I came here specially to see you." Xu Damao took a breath and said with a smile.

"What's the matter? Why are you so urgent?" Xu Changping asked curiously.

No one knew what was going on with Xu Damao, but he got up early just to stop him.

"Well, it's not me, it's your sister-in-law. I don't know where she heard that you had some pineapples in your room." Xu Damao said helplessly.

This is the result of marrying a young lady. If you find something that interests you, you have to get it.

"Pineapples!" Xu Changping gave Xu Damao a helpless smile before saying, "I sent the two I had to my fiancée's house overnight."

"Ah!" Xu Damao's disappointment was beyond words. Not only did Lou Xiao'e want to eat it, he also wanted to taste what it tasted like.

"However, the person who brought me the pineapples should still have some. You can go to the caravan and ask him later." Xu Changping said after thinking for a while.

Although Zhang Xiaolong brought him several, it was impossible for them to bring back only these few in one trip. They should have some in their hands waiting to be exchanged with others.

"It was brought back by the convoy!" Xu Damao said with his eyes wide open.

How come he didn't know what the convoy brought back? These guys are really good at keeping secrets.

"Well, a friend of mine just came back from a job yesterday, and he brought me the pineapple."

"Thanks, brother. I'll go first, so that I won't get nothing if I arrive too late." After hearing what Xu Changping said, Xu Damao said something to Xu Changping, then quickly pedaled his bicycle towards the steel mill.
