Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

"It depends on how much you want. I've been interested in gold recently, and my senior brother told me that you have some, so I wanted to get some for my collection."

Cao Liang said clearly.

Duo Ye said proudly: "Since Chi Hu introduced you, I won't admit it otherwise. So, once we get out of this door, even if you tell others, I won't admit it."

Chi Hu assured: "Don't worry, Master Duo, we promise not to tell anyone."

Cao Liang also nodded.

"Even if you say you won't go, I'm not afraid."

Duo Ye smiled and said to Cao Liang: "Young man, if you bring me 100 kilograms of white flour, I will give you a small yellow croaker, but the quality must be the same, otherwise I will not agree."

Only a hundred pounds?

Cao Liang was a little disappointed.

One hundred kilograms of white flour costs about fifty yuan.

The price of a small yellow croaker is seventy-five.

Although Cao Liang made a profit, his purpose of coming here was not just for this small yellow croaker.

Duo Ye also saw Cao Liang's disappointment and said with a faint smile: "Young man, you don't have to be disappointed. I said 100 kilograms a month."

"Also, if you can get some fresh meat, I want it, preferably some wild delicacies."

"Thank you, Master Duo."

Cao Liang thanked him. Although it still did not meet his requirements, he could barely accept it.

In this way, I should be able to get twenty small yellow croakers a year, right?

Cao Liang had expected a big wave to come directly. After all, this kind of person was not good and he was not willing to have any contact with him.

Chi Hu said with a smile: "Master Duo, you want wild delicacies, but you have found the right person. My junior brother is a good hunter."

"Oh?"

Duo Ye was slightly stunned and asked, "Young man, can you kill the tiger?"

“It should be possible, but I haven’t encountered it yet.”

Cao Liang thought for a moment and replied.

With his current strength, he can subdue the tiger even without using any weapons.

However, since he and Gangzi went up the mountain several times last year, he has not gone there since the resources were almost the same.

But I never encountered a tiger on those occasions.

"Very good, young man. If you can kill a tiger and leave its bones and penis to me, I will give you five large yellow croakers."

Duo Ye promised.

Cao Liang was slightly surprised.

Seven hundred and fifty for one big yellow croaker, five of them... wow, what a big deal.

So fucking rich!

Cao Liang even wanted to snatch it away.

Cao Liang responded: "If I can get it, I will."

"Okay, then you can bring the flour and give it to Qiuju, oh, the woman who just brought you in."

After saying this, Duo Ye picked up the tea.

It looks like it's time to see the guests off.

"Farewell."

Chi Hu and Cao Liang got up and walked out, and the woman named Qiu Ju saw them off to the door.

After leaving the courtyard, Cao Liang couldn't help but ask, "Brother, why do I think that woman is the maid of Master Duo?"

"It's not like, it is."

Under Cao Liang's shocked gaze, Chi Hu laughed and said, "What's so strange about this? How can a master from this old era survive without someone to take care of him?"

"Is this allowed?"

Cao Liang asked doubtfully.

"That's definitely not allowed."

Chi Hu changed the subject and said with a smile: "But so what? As far as I know, that woman is his wife on the surface, and there is relevant evidence. Who can say anything?"

Cao Liang was stunned. How could this kind of operation exist?

These people really know how to have fun!

Although Duoye's character is not good, he is rich!

Many women are vying to do this job.

Besides, Duoye looks to be over fifty, while Qiuju is at most thirty.

It seems that Mr. Duo has no children, so once he is gone, all the property will be hers.

Such things happened quite frequently in later generations.

Chi Hu patted Cao Liang on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Why bother with all this? You and him are just doing a deal."

"Too."

Cao Liang nodded, "Brother, I want you to help me find someone to deliver the goods."

"I know what you mean. Indeed, this kind of person is not good. It's best to have less contact with him."

Chi Hu thought for a moment and said, "You are familiar with Xiao Wu, so let Xiao Wu help you deliver it."

"Is this good?"

"It's okay. Xiaowu is an orphan. He has been working with me since he was a teenager. He is reliable and doesn't care about this."

"That's good."

After hearing what Chi Hu said, Cao Liang agreed.

Then he added: "Brother, please tell Xiaowu that I will give him five dollars as reward for each trip."

"Okay, I won't be polite to you. Anyway, you have money. I thank you on behalf of Xiaowu."

Chi Hu laughed.

"It should."

The two chatted and laughed, then returned to Chi Hu's yard.

Cao Liang gave the flour to Xiao Wu and asked him to deliver the goods.

He and Chi Hu took a chicken, a fish, and a few bottles of wine to see Liu Zhen.

When I arrived at the master's yard, the door was open.

The two of them walked in.

Then I saw Liu Zhen doing boxing.

The two of them didn't bother each other and just stood there waiting.

Cao Liang looked around and didn't see Liu Lili, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After a while.

Liu Zhen retracted his fist and looked at Cao Liang and Chi Hu, who nodded, "Here we go!"

Liu Zhen already knew it when they entered the door just now.

Chi Hu quietly kicked Cao Liang.

Cao Liang smiled and said, "I have nothing to do today, so I asked my senior brother to have a drink with you."

Liu Zhen smiled and nodded: "That's good, you're thoughtful."

"Master, Lily is not here?"

Cao Liang asked.

Liu Zhen said: "The girl is being held by her mother. I guess she won't be released until school starts in a few days."

"Okay, I'll go cook first, and we can have a good chat later."

After Cao Liang finished speaking, he carried the chicken and fish into the kitchen.

The drinking session lasted until the evening.

Cao Liangcai said goodbye and went home.

As soon as I returned to the yard, I heard the third aunt cursing, and it seemed that she was cursing Jia Zhang.

Cao Liang didn't listen carefully. After parking the car, he went to the main house.

Seeing him coming back, Chen Huilan asked with concern, "You're back! Have you eaten?"

"We ate at the master's house."

Cao Liang nodded and asked curiously, "Mom, what happened in the courtyard? Why did I see Auntie cursing?"

"Brother, I know."

Xiao Ming said first: "That's because during the banquet in the afternoon, Banggeng's grandmother took all the meat and vegetables by herself, and there was a big quarrel at that time."

Cao Liang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Jia Zhang is really capable of doing this.

He laughed and asked, "How did Jia Zhang take over?"

"I know."

Yaya immediately responded, "Grandma Banggeng picked up a piece of meat, licked it, and threw it back. She did this several times. Others thought it was disgusting, so Grandma Banggeng just put it in a bowl and took it away."

Ah this....

Cao Liang said worriedly: "Mom, then you..."

"We are at another table, it's okay." Chen Huilan said with a smile.

"That's good."

Cao Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

It was rare to have a meal of meat these days, but it was ruined by Jia and Zhang, especially the stingy nature of the Yan family.

The meat is gone, not only can I not eat it, but I can’t even get back the money I spent on the gift. It’s a huge loss.
