Siheyuan: Wang Bo's Happy Life

Tonight, the moon is high in the sky and every household has turned off the lights and gone to bed early.

Wang Bo felt that the time had come, so he took a sack and went out in the dark. When he was almost at the black market, he took out some vegetables from the space courtyard, put them directly into the sack, and walked to the black market with it on his back.

This black market is made up of several crisscrossing streets, which lead to all directions. This is to make it convenient for buyers and sellers to escape quickly in case someone comes to arrest them. There are two thugs guarding the black market at each entrance. Buyers can enter for free, but sellers have to pay 20 cents.

Two cents may not seem like a lot, but there are many people selling things every night, and over time, this group of thugs earn a considerable amount of money.

Wang Bo covered his face, wore a hat, and carried a sack on his back. He walked to the street entrance and handed a gangster two cents as usual. After entering, he found a deserted place, put down the sack, revealing the vegetables inside, and waited for people to buy it.

There were many people like Wang Bo who came to secretly sell grain and vegetables. Most of them were hard-working people from the surrounding areas. They were hungry and squeezed out some food from their mouths in exchange for a little bit of money.

Not long after, a tightly wrapped man stood in front of Wang Bo and asked in a low voice: "Do you still have face?"

Wang Bo put his hand into the sack to cover it up, but actually took out a bag of flour that had been ground long ago from the small courtyard and showed it to the man.

The man took a look and said, "You have whole wheat noodles."

"Be content. I've been grinding it secretly. Food is becoming more and more precious now. Just tell me whether you want it or not."

"Yes, yes, yes, give me five pounds. How much?"

"This bag is exactly five pounds, three dollars." Wang Bo stretched out his hand and handed over the bag of noodles.

"Why is it so expensive?"

"Is this expensive? Come back tomorrow and it will be four dollars! If you think it's too expensive, I still have cornmeal, which is cheaper."

The man sighed after hearing this. He had money but no food, so he had to buy it. After handing over the money and taking the flour, the man looked at the green cabbage and radish in the sack, hesitated for a while, and asked, "How much are these vegetables?"

Wang Bo took the money and said casually, "Cabbage and radish are 30 cents each, eggplant and cucumber are 5 cents each, and beans are 10 cents per pound."

Wang Bo saw the man's hesitation and continued, "Look at these vegetables. They are big, fresh and delicious. Each of these cabbages and radishes weighs more than five kilograms. If you look around the market, you won't find vegetables as good as mine in the whole capital."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Wang Bo broke off a piece of cucumber and handed it to the man, "Try it and see how it tastes."

The man took the cucumber, chewed it for a few bites, and said in surprise: "I want two radishes, two cucumbers, and a cabbage."

"It's one dollar in total. Take the food."

Wang Bo handed over the dish, took a dollar and put it in his arms.

Seeing this man buy so many vegetables, a stall owner next to him couldn't sit still anymore. He asked curiously, "Brother, can I have a taste of your cucumber?"

"It's okay, just give me a piece." Wang Bo also broke off a piece of cucumber for him.

After tasting it, the vendor squinted his eyes in enjoyment. After swallowing it, he said eagerly, "It's delicious. I've never eaten such delicious cucumbers. Give me two."

"Two cucumbers, ten cents in total, take them."

The stall owner took the cucumber, wrapped it carefully, and kept smacking his lips as if he was savoring the taste of the cucumber.

Holding the half-cut cucumber, Wang Bo started to eat it bite by bite. Immediately, the fragrance of the cucumber filled most of the street. People gathered around him unconsciously and soon all of Wang Bo's vegetables were eaten up.

These vegetables were sold for more than five yuan. Wang Bo strolled around the black market for a while with the empty sack in his hand. He looked for a place with few people and dark lights, turned around and filled another sack in the small courtyard. He found an empty seat, sat down again, and put out the rice and flour for people to buy.

After working for most of the night, all the food and vegetables were finally sold. Wang Bo was holding an empty bag and touching a thick stack of banknotes. He was so happy that he hummed a little tune and slowly strolled back to the courtyard.

"I made a lot of money, but I don't know how to spend it.

I drive a BMW after driving a Mercedes, and I have nothing better to do than take a sauna and eat lobster.

I'm making money, so I hired three nannies.

Hey, one sweeps the floor, one cooks, and one works as a nanny. . . . . "

When he got home and lay on the bed, Wang Bo did the math. He sold three rounds of grain and vegetables for a total of more than 200 yuan, and each round could sell for 70 to 80 yuan. There are about 50 weeks in a year, so he could sell 50 rounds, which means he could earn 3,000 to 4,000 yuan a year!

It’s going! It’s going!

Wang Bo clenched his fists excitedly and couldn't help laughing!

What kind of job can earn so much these days! I am so rich!

Tomorrow morning, I, Prince Wang, will pay for the breakfast stall at the gate of the compound!

After the excitement, Wang Bo calculated carefully again and found that although the vegetables had a good response, they did not make much money. Grain was the biggest source of money. He couldn't help but sigh, grain is the hard currency these days, otherwise why not plant wheat in the fields of the space courtyard?

Wang Bo was thinking about how to spend so much money honestly in the future. Wang Bo scratched his head. It would be a big problem if one accidentally revealed his wealth these days. He didn't want to be taken away directly because of a wave of reports.

Now I am not allowed to open a store to do business, and there is no place to sell lottery tickets, so there is no chance of getting rich overnight.

It seems that I will have to go out early and come back late in the future and pretend to be working hard.

Alas, Wang Bo sighed, we also enjoy the burden brought by having money, is this the trouble of happiness?

As he was daydreaming about this, Wang Bo fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, when Wang Bo was washing up in the sink, he heard the aunties whispering about how to deal with the recent rumors. It had been less than a month and everything was calm. Courtyard No. 95, which had been hit by rumors at the beginning, had also restored its reputation.

Great, Wang Bo praised in his heart, these three uncles are quite capable, they settled the rumors so easily. It seems that in the future when fighting with them, we have to cut the Gordian knot quickly, if we give them time to react, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.

Just as he was daydreaming, Xu Damao's father stood at the moon gate in the backyard and greeted him, "Xiaobo, I have a big job here. Help me move today, and you'll have to pay for it."

"Oh, I'm sorry, someone has rented my car for five dollars for the whole day. I have to go there quickly. Please find someone else."

"Xiaobo, you are making fun of me. Who can spend five dollars to buy your tricycle?" Xu Damao's father looked incredulous.

"There are so many rich people in this city. They are willing to spend this money. If you give me ten dollars, I will definitely help you move."

"Ten dollars? With ten dollars, I can carry my house around the city. Why should I hire you to move? Wang Bo, don't you want to help?"

"Old Xu, it has to be you. You know what I mean. You can find whoever you want. I won't serve you."

After Wang Bo finished speaking, he turned around and left with the basin in his hand.

Wang Bo knew this old fellow too well. He was even worse than Xu Damao. After you finished working for him, if he was in a good mood, he might give you a little money, but most of the time he would just drag his feet and refuse to give you anything. If you didn't do what he wanted when working, he would even find fault with you out of thin air and make you lose money!

Working for such a person is not enough to make me angry.

However, the old couple moved away and left Xu Damao alone there. Did they want to find a partner for Xu Damao in another place?

You wish. Let me see if I can mess it up for you!
