Siheyuan: Black and steady Gou Laoliu

Who else could the person coming be other than Han Li’s cousin Han Jinsheng.

The reason why Han Li did not go to the countryside was that he was waiting for his cousin.

Because of his cousin's test yesterday, Han Li felt that there might be something important to come, so he thought about waiting and seeing.

After all, the most urgent task at the moment is to get the money to buy a house as soon as possible, become a resident of the Siheyuan, activate the system, and live a happy life.

I never thought that Han Li really guessed it.

Han Jinsheng didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Han Li, go tell my aunt and I'll take you out for a walk so you can broaden your horizons."

Upon hearing this, Han Li understood and quickly agreed, then went to the front yard to explain everything to Li's mother.

The eldest son was already an adult, and the eldest nephew was always steady, so Mother Li did not ask: "You go ahead, and remember to come back for lunch."

"Mom, my brother Jinsheng treated me to shabu-shabu last time, so I should treat him back. I won't be coming home for lunch today."

If there is a legitimate and reasonable reason, Han Li will definitely go out for a good meal to fill his empty stomach.

Mother Li nodded in agreement and asked one more question: "Do you have enough money on you? If not, I can give you some more. You can't be too stingy when treating people to a meal."

"That's enough."

Afterwards, Han Jinsheng rode his bicycle with Han Li and quickly left Nanluoguxiang. They came to the street and stopped in front of a steamed bun shop.

"Four meat buns first." Han Jinsheng told the bun shop owner, then turned to Han Li and asked, "Would you like soy milk or soy milk?"

Han Li hurriedly shook his head: "Brother Jinsheng, just eat, I have already had breakfast."

At the same time, Han Li thought to himself: My cousin is a good person to get along with. I will never lack food and drink if I follow him.

"We may have to walk a long way soon, so let's eat two buns first. Stop wasting time, tell me what you want to drink, or how about some soy milk?"

Douzhi? That’s a traditional Beijing delicacy!

It is made from mung beans through multiple secret processes; it is rich in protein, vitamin C, crude fiber, sugar and other nutrients needed by the human body, and has the effects of nourishing the stomach, detoxifying and clearing heat.

Therefore, Han Li Han Li had almost no hesitation and blurted out: "I drink soy milk!"

"Another bowl of soy milk and soy juice."

"Okay, here are four meat buns, you can eat them first."

Han Li was about to pay for breakfast, but his cousin paid first and urged him, "Eat quickly, we have something else to do after we finish eating."

Soon after the two of them sat down, soy milk and soy juice were served on the table.

Douzhi is indeed a specialty food of Beijing. Han Jinsheng drank it with a smile on his face and a look of satisfaction.

In comparison, Han Li looked calm the whole time he drank the soy milk, which was not much different from drinking plain water.

Whenever Han Li saw his cousin drinking soy milk, he would frown unconsciously. He must be regretting his previous wrong choice.

More than ten minutes later, the two set off again.

When they arrived at a less crowded place, Han Jinsheng stopped the car and said, "I thought about it again yesterday and I think I should explain everything to you so that you won't suffer a big loss from this."

Han Jinsheng paused for a moment and continued, "When you go to the countryside and see something that looks like an old item, try to buy it with the least possible money. Remember, you can never spend more than 2 (2 yuan) on a single item! You can never buy more than 10 (10 yuan) worth of old items each time. You must never exceed the limit! Remember this!"

"I'll remember that." Han Li nodded woodenly, knowing clearly that his cousin wanted to continue picking up bargains.

But if you think about it carefully, this is a good idea. Making money depends entirely on luck, and there is a limit to the losses, which is within their tolerance.

Once you fail to make money by taking advantage of a bargain for two consecutive times, it means it's time to stop.

This is like a little gambling for fun.

If you were a greedy person who made money by accidentally finding a bargain on antiques once, he would probably be obsessed with making money by finding bargains in the future, and would end up getting deeper and deeper into it, unable to extricate himself.

Han Jinsheng patted Han Li on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't feel too burdened. Picking up a bargain depends entirely on luck. If we can find a bargain, everyone will be happy and we can continue."

After a pause, he continued, "If we can't make any money, we'll stop right away. Anyway, I've made a fortune by picking up bargains, so I can use this money to try my luck. If we make any money, we'll split it in half, and if we lose, it'll be all mine!"

Han Li finally understood that his cousin had made a windfall and was thinking of taking a gamble with the money.

It’s like picking up a hundred dollars on the street, and then turning around to buy a scratch card. If you win, that’s even better, but if you don’t, it doesn’t matter either, because you picked up the money anyway.

Han Li was not the kind of person who would never get enough of taking advantage, so he quickly corrected him: "Brother Jinsheng, whether we make money or lose money, we will share it equally."

Han Li was not very confident about finding bargains in the countryside. After all, he didn't know much about antiques in his previous life, and the probability of making a mistake was quite high.

However, Han Li still has the courage to take a gamble with hundreds of thousands (tens of dollars), and it's a big one.

Han Jinsheng frowned slightly and thought for a while before finding a compromise: "How about this, after all, I was the one who instigated you to do this. If you don't get anything good the first time, then the loss will be mine. If you make money the first time, then we'll split the profits or losses equally."

Since his cousin had said this, Han Li had no choice but to agree.

After finishing the business, Han Jinsheng rode his bike with Han Li to the street and stopped in front of a shoe stall.

"Han Li, what size shoes do you wear?"

"Size 42." Han Li could see that his cousin wanted to buy him shoes again.

However, Han Li felt that it was a bit embarrassing for two grown men to argue and give way to each other on the street over such a small matter; so he thought that he should pay first later and not let his cousin spend any more money.

Secondly, the soles of the shoes on Han Li's feet have been worn out quite badly, and they hurt a lot when he steps on stones. It's time to change them for a new pair.

However, when Han Li was about to pay, his cousin stopped him and said, "You just turned 18 this year, and you are already an adult. Consider this pair of shoes as my adulthood gift to you. You must not refuse them. If you don't, I will be unhappy!"

Han Jinsheng smiled and continued, "When my unit gives me a subsidy for buying cloth, I'll buy some cloth and ask my aunt to make you a set of clothes. You can stand straight in the clothes, look energetic, and look respectable when you go out."

The benefits for postmen are so good now? ! A big question mark rose in Han Li's mind.

However, what surprised him even more was that this cousin was a little too nice to his younger cousin.

Han Li felt that his cousin seemed to always be finding ways to give him benefits and considering him in everything.

Suddenly, a thought popped up in Han Li's mind: Could it be that Han Jinsheng is my biological brother, and I am just a foster child under Old Han's name?

You know, according to Han Li's memory, the two families were brothers in Han Shanhai's grandfather's generation, but by Han Li's generation, they had basically become distant relatives.

Although Han Jinsheng was nice to Han Li in the past, he was not as nice as he is now.

What on earth caused such a huge change in my cousin? !

Han Li said embarrassedly: "Brother Jinsheng, I'm sorry to have cost you money again."

The other party has already made his decision. If he refuses, it will be embarrassing for everyone.

Besides, it’s just a pair of shoes. I can return it when I have the chance in the future.

"What's the big deal? How much can a pair of shoes be worth?" Han Jinsheng smiled indifferently, took the shoes handed to him by the stall owner, and handed them to Han Li: "Try them on and see if they fit your feet. If not, change them."

Han Li took the new cloth shoes, put them on and felt them. They were a perfect fit and quite comfortable to wear.

"This pair is the best. They fit me well."

"Okay." Han Jinsheng nodded with satisfaction and said to the stall owner, "Order another pair of shoes in the same size as these."

Hearing this, Han Li was suspicious again. What did he mean by another pair? Was my cousin's shoe size the same as mine, or was this pair also for me?

Just when Han Li was confused, Han Jinsheng had already given him the money, packed up Han Li's old shoes and a new pair of shoes, and tied them to the handlebars.

After leaving the shoe stall, Han Jinsheng explained the reason for buying another pair: "You often run around in the countryside, so your shoes must be worn out. As your elder brother, I can't give you a shabby adult gift, so I'll just give you two pairs of shoes. Good things come in pairs."

"Thank you, Brother Jinsheng." Han Li looked embarrassed, but he was increasingly murmuring in his heart: He is thinking about me again, as if he is afraid that I will not accept it.

This feeling is very strange, just like asking someone to do a favor and finding ways to get them to accept a gift.

But after thinking about it carefully, he found that what the man said was reasonable and he couldn't refuse.

Even when Han Li was brainstorming crazily, he felt that his cousin was a time traveler with some kind of system, and that he was the unlucky guy whose luck was robbed.

There is a saying that goes: There is no love or hate in the world without reason.

Buddha said: Everything in the world is cause and effect. There is a cause for every effect, and there must be a cause for every effect.

As the saying goes, no reward without merit.

Also, there is no tradition of giving gifts when one turns 18 among their relatives. For example, a few years ago when my cousin turned 18, not only did he not have a coming-of-age ceremony, but other relatives did not send him any gifts to congratulate him either.

Han Li also thought of another possibility, maybe his cousin wanted to help his family.

Why? Because he is kind!

"It's just two pairs of shoes, why are you being so polite?" Han Jinsheng got on the bike and said, "Sit tight, I'll find a spacious place to take you to learn how to ride."

Han Li shook off the complicated thoughts in his mind, thinking that he was being too sensitive, or that he had not completely inherited the original body's personal feelings, which caused him to feel a sense of separation.

But it's not a big problem.

After finding an open place, Han Jinsheng began to patiently teach Han Li how to ride a bike and held the bike.

Although he hadn't ridden a 28-inch bicycle for many years, Han Li adapted quickly and now has no problem pedaling the bike at full speed.

However, in this era, as a novice, he cannot learn too fast, otherwise he will be easily exposed, so he still has to pretend to be in a state of chaos.

By the time Han Lineng could ride his bike on the road "cautiously", it was already lunch time.

"Han Li, it's time for dinner. Let's go have a meal. What do you want to eat?"

"Brother Jinsheng, you treated me to the mutton hotpot yesterday, so today it's my turn to treat you. Let's make a deal first, I have to treat you this time."

Han Jinsheng waved his hand: "Why should we divide it between you and me? When we make some money, you will treat us."

After that, he changed the subject: "I happen to know a very authentic Baodu restaurant. Let's have Baodu for lunch. Let's get in the car."

Sitting in the back seat of the car, Han Li's heart began to alarm again. The better his cousin treated him, the more he felt there was something wrong.

Han Li suddenly remembered that his cousin seemed to be 23 years old this year, so why had he never heard of him having a girlfriend?

To…object!?

Suddenly, Han Li thought of a situation that gave him goosebumps: Could it be that his cousin is Brother Jie?! He specifically targeted people he knew!? He wanted to get away with me?!!!

If that's the case, then it all seems to make sense, and it's incredibly smooth.

Use antique bargains as bait to lure him into the trap, then treat him to a meal, give him gifts, and promise him all kinds of benefits. When the time is right, add: As long as you obey me, I guarantee that you will have a good life in the future.

As he thought about it, Han Li became more panicked than when Lou Bancheng pointed at him: Oh no! I've been treated as prey!
