Chapter 351 Ghost Street, Ghost Market and Black Market
Li Le went up and patted the door, and heard Uncle Guan ask from inside: "Who is it?"
"Uncle Guan, it's me."
"Why are you here, kid?" Uncle Guan asked before the door opened.
"It's not snowing. It's nothing. Just come and take a look."
As soon as Li Le finished speaking, the door opened and Uncle Guan appeared in front of Li Le.
Looking at the wine in Li Le's hand, Uncle Guan smiled and said, "You've got your heart set."
"Hey, it's nothing."
The room where the two people came was indeed much warmer.
Now that Uncle Guan had coal, he was willing to burn it and kept the house warm.
Yes, Uncle Guan burned briquettes, and it was Li Le, Ma Feng and the others who burned them.
I spent several thousand dollars at once, which can be said to be enough to keep Uncle Guan off for several years.
Even heating in winter costs eight yuan a day, which means that the whole winter does not cost more than one thousand yuan.
As for other times, even if you ask Uncle Guan to burn him, it would be more appropriate to burn firewood.
For example, in summer, it is already hot. If you can add a coal stove, you can imagine what will happen.
"Have you had breakfast?" Uncle Guan asked.
"have eaten."
"Since you have eaten, there is no need to prepare anything." After Uncle Guan finished speaking, he went to the back room and took out a cloth bag.
Then he put the cloth bag on the Eight Immortals table and went over to get two wine glasses.
"Uncle Guan, what are you..." Li Le was speechless.
Uncle Guan is really addicted to alcohol. You know, it's still morning!
I woke up late, I guess I haven’t had breakfast yet, so I started drinking.
Li Le loves to drink, but he doesn’t drink at all times, at least at noon or at night!
But Uncle Guan had already taken it out, so Li Le had to be more thoughtful.
"Does it matter what time you drink?" Uncle Guan asked, placing the cup on the Eight Immortals table.
Li Le scratched his head. This thing seems to really matter no matter the time. You can drink it anytime you like.
"Okay, I'll drink with you."
"Is this right?" Uncle Guan said and opened the bag. Inside were fried peanuts, the kind with shells.
Li Le quickly opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for Uncle Guan first, and then for himself.
Light tea, full wine, that is to say, when pouring tea for others, you can pour half a cup, but when pouring wine, you must fill it full.
Of course, this is talking about pouring it for others, it doesn’t matter if you pour it for yourself.
Uncle Guan peeled a peanut and threw it into his mouth (￣~￣), chewed it twice, then took a sip of wine and asked, "Why did you come to my place today?"
"I'm here to see you for something." Li Le also said after eating a peanut.
"Oh! What's the matter?"
Li Le looked at Uncle Guan and said, "What I'm telling you today is that you can't tell anyone."
Hearing what Li Le said, Uncle Guan immediately put down his wine glass and nodded seriously.
"Don't worry! I won't tell anyone, not even my son."
"Yeah!" Li Le nodded and said, "From now on, you have to start stocking up on food, as much as you can."
Hearing what Li Le said, Uncle Guan picked up a peanut, peeled it open, put it in his mouth and said, "Can you tell me the situation?"
"No." Li Le shook his head.
"I know, I'll start stocking up as soon as the snow on the road is cleared."
"Well! It's best not to let others see it, and don't buy it in one place, especially the neighbors, let alone let them know."
"You kid, I still don't know this." Uncle Guan curled his lips.
"Of course it's better if you know, I'm just giving you a heads up."
"Is it serious?" Uncle Guan asked with a frown.
"Pretty serious."
"All right!"
Li Le has said this, but Uncle Guan still doesn't understand what's going on.
After drinking a bottle with Uncle Guan, Li Le stopped drinking.
Why are you still here if you don't even have a drink? So Li Le was kicked out by Uncle Guan.
This left him speechless! You know, he brought the wine here.
"Comrade, is it really you?"
Li Le left Uncle Guan's house. On his way back, a member of the Military Control Commission stopped him.
"Who are you……"
There was nothing he could do about it. This comrade from the Military Control Commission was wearing a big hat and a scarf covering half of his face. Of course, Li Le couldn't tell who he was.
"It's me!" After saying that, he pulled down his scarf.
When he saw his whole face, Li Le recognized him as one of the two military control officials that day.
"So it's you! What's the matter with you?"
"Let me tell you the results of that day."
"Ah! You don't need to tell me this, right?" Li Le asked speechlessly.
"Yes, if it's just a matter of a few bad elements, it's really not necessary, but aren't there people from our Military Control Commission?"
"Are you talking about those two aunts?"
"Yes, but they have been expelled now and will not be able to come in again in the future."
"Oh! That's good. People like them really shouldn't join the management committee."
Li Le is not a good person, it should be said that he is not a good person. He likes to do things like this to add insult to injury.
"Okay, since you already know, that's it."
"Okay, you're busy."
After bidding farewell to the staff member of the Military Control Commission, Li Le prepared to go back, but not far away, he saw a person.
A person who should hate him to the core. Of course, this is after the other person knows the situation.
Although I have hatred for him now, it shouldn't be particularly strong.
Yes, this person is Fan Jinyou. You must know that he was dealt with badly by Li Le.
It's a pity that he doesn't know who it is.
"Hey! Isn't this Fan Jinyou?" Li Le stopped him and said.
"Huh! Go away." After Fan Jinyou said this, he pushed Li Le.
It's a pity that he pushed him against the city wall. If Li Le was an ordinary person, this push might really push Li Le away, or even push him somersault.
But is Li Le an ordinary person? Of course not, so Li Le stood there motionless, while Fan Jinyou plopped down and sat on the ground.
In this icy and snowy environment, people stepped on the road, causing some uneven places.
Some places are fine, but others look sharp.
Fan Jinyou was more unlucky. Where he was sitting, there happened to be something like an iceberg standing there.
"Ouch..." Fan Jinyou screamed and quickly got up.
When he got up, Li Le saw a hole in his butt, right in the middle.
There were still red blood streaks on the cotton exposed from the cotton pants.
"Pfft!" Li Le immediately became happy.
Fortunately, this sharp ice is not long, just like the middle finger, otherwise the consequences would be serious!
Even so, it's probably not a big deal.
"Hey, let me tell you, why are you so careless when walking? It's so easy to fall down in this icy and snowy environment."
"You..." Fan Jinyou blushed and covered his butt, not knowing what to say.
Because he did fall by himself, and he fell because he pushed someone else.
The most important thing is that someone else saw it. If no one saw it, he could still blame Li Le.
"Okay, let's go to the hospital quickly! Don't go too late, or it will be troublesome to get an anal fistula by then."
Hearing what Li Le said, Fan Jinyou's expression changed, and he quickly covered his butt and left, but his posture was very funny.
Every time you lift your feet, you lift your hips once, and when you lift your hips, you also need to stretch your neck.
"Hahaha!"
It wasn't Li Le who was laughing, it was the passers-by who were laughing when they saw him like this.
Li Le also felt it was funny, but he didn't laugh, he just bared his teeth.
Li Le didn't understand why Fan Jinyou was out in this freezing and snowy environment.
But he soon knew, because not far behind him was Xueru Silk Satin Shop.
Li Le shook his head and continued walking back.
When they got home, Ma Feng and the others were playing cards.
"Brother, how many games do you want to play?"
"No, you can play!"
Li Le is really not addicted to playing poker unless he is really bored.
But he's not bored now! Because he has business to do.
The main thing Li Le has to do is to draw drawings of three-axis machine tools.
You must know that in the real world, this thing has been drawn by Li Le many times.
But after traveling through time, it is extremely difficult to draw it.
In fact, it is normal. In the real world, he is facing pictures. Although he has drawn them many times, it is impossible to remember them all.
But he can remember as much as he can. If he continues to draw many real worlds, he won't believe that he can't draw them.
In this era, not to mention three-axis machine tools, even plop machine tools are in special shortage.
In the real world, three-axis machine tools are nothing at all. As for technology, it can be said to be terrible.
Not to mention in books, if you just search online, you will find drawings everywhere.
In this era, the United States was the first to develop a three-axis machine tool, also in the 1950s.
Li Le doesn’t know the specific year, but it was the 1950s anyway.
In the next few days, Li Le has been drawing drawings at home, but they are only drawings of parts that are not very important.
Li Le remembers very few of the important ones, but it doesn't matter! He has plenty of time.
He didn't believe it. With his learning ability, he still couldn't make a machine tool.
The worst thing is that it will take more time, because as long as there is the first machine tool, there will be countless machine tools in the future.
At this time, Li Le could draw everything he could. As for what he couldn't draw, he had nothing to do.
A few days passed, and it was already possible to ride a tricycle outside.
After dinner this morning, Li Le went out on a tricycle.
"Collect scrap!"
"Sell the junk?"
"Collect rags," a voice shouted from behind.
"Here we come!" Li Le quickly stopped the tricycle, then turned around and went back.
The person who called him was an old woman. From the look of her clothes, she knew she belonged to a well-off family.
"What junk do you have to sell?" Li Le asked.
"Come in and take a look! See what you receive."
"Okay!"
Li Le agreed, parked the tricycle, locked it, and followed the old lady in.
This is a quadrangle with two entrances, with the east and west in the backyard.
Seeing the things, Li Le asked, "Are you moving?"
"Yes, this house was rented to the Military Control Commission, so they sold all the useless stuff."
"So that's it! Then let me take a look!"
Needless to say, this old lady must have a lot of houses at home, otherwise it would be impossible to rent the whole yard to the Military Control Commission!
It is easy to rent, but it will be troublesome to take it back later.
This is normal. Unless someone like Li Le is a time traveler, who can know what will happen in the future.
Of course, Li Le would not be a bad person to remind her.
I feel like even if Li Le reminded me, people wouldn't believe him!
There are many things, not only tables, chairs and benches, but also some books, calligraphy and paintings, and even some ornaments.
However, these ornaments are not particularly good, not even small boutiques.
Yes, even if there were any, they would probably have been taken away! How could people like this not understand?
She is just renting a house, not selling it and leaving, so of course she will take her things with her.
Li Le looked at everything and asked, "Old lady, how much do you plan to sell these things for?"
There are too many things and it’s too messy. You can have everything.
If it was too troublesome to calculate them bit by bit, Li Le decided to estimate how much these things would cost together.
"You are a rag collector. How much do you want me to pay you?"
"Half a million."
"What! You give me half a million for so many things?" the old lady asked with eyes wide open.
"Uh! Old lady, I collect rags. I don't buy them for home use. If you give me too much, I'll pay for it!" Li Le said with a fake smile.
"Then what you gave is too little, one million. If you give me one million, you can take all this away."
"One million is too much. I might lose money, so let's do it, six hundred thousand."
"That won't work. Let's do this. The minimum is 800,000. If it works, you can take me away. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else."
To be honest, Li Le really wanted her to find someone else, because if she found someone else, it's very likely that 500,000 people wouldn't give it to her.
The reason why Li Le gave so much was mainly because there were a lot of ornaments, calligraphy and paintings.
Of course, there are some nice pieces of furniture.
Although these ornaments are not yet high-quality products, they are still pretty good. At least they are much better than ordinary bottles and cans.
"Okay! Eight hundred thousand is eight hundred thousand, but I can't finish it at one time. You see..."
"It's okay. I'll be here all day today. If you can't finish it at once, just come over and do it again."
"Yeah! Okay."
Originally he didn't plan to pay it all, but seeing that the old lady didn't look like a good person, he gave her all the money.
Of course, Li Le is not stupid. He plans to take away all the good things first, and it doesn't matter whether he wants the rest or not.
First there are a few pieces of furniture, then books, calligraphy and paintings, and finally all kinds of ornaments.
In fact, it is full with just a few pieces of furniture. Books, calligraphy, paintings and other ornaments do not take up any space and can be stuffed directly into the gaps between the furniture.
Because there are too many spaces in furniture, such as cabinets, where a lot of things can be placed.
After loading one tricycle, Li Le looked at it and saw that he could still load another three wheels, so he tied it up with a rope and rode away.
Of course it's not going to the scrapyard. Everything you pull back this time can be brought back to reality.
After arriving home, whenever Zhao Yanran and the two sisters come home, Ma Feng and the others are still running outside.
"Brother Le, you collected so much today!" Seeing Li Le pull a full tricycle back, Zhao Yanran hurriedly came up and asked.
"There's more! I can't finish it all at once."
"Let me unload it for you!"
"Yeah! You help me take down all the small things, and I'll move the furniture myself."
"OK!"
Then Zhao Yanran called out Zhao Yanhan, and the two of them unloaded the books and ornaments together.
There were so many people to work with, and with the help of the two sisters Zhao Yanran, it didn't take long to finish unloading, and Li Le put the things directly in the east room.
After unloading, Li Le rode a tricycle over again.
Even though this old lady didn't look like a good person, she was still very trustworthy and didn't leave.
Soon Li Le loaded up the rest and rode a tricycle to the purchasing station.
This car is all the work of the buying station. Although several pieces of furniture are good, Li Le's family is not short of furniture.
As for selling it to others, just kidding, it’s not that easy to come across!
"Hey! Xiao Li collected a lot today!" said the gatekeeper at the purchasing station.
"It's not much. It looks like a lot. It's mainly because the furniture takes up space."
After hearing what Li Le said, the gatekeeper took a look and it was true, it was basically all furniture.
Li Le came inside, and the employee at the purchasing station who was responsible for receiving the goods looked at it and said, "Okay, Xiao Li, this furniture is in good condition."
In fact, if the condition is good, it means it has been well maintained. Furniture like this can be sold for more money.
You must know that second-hand furniture is very popular at purchasing stations.
Even though Li Le couldn't find anyone to buy second-hand furniture, at the buying station, many people came to buy it.
This is information asymmetry.
"It's okay, let's see how much it costs?" Li Le asked.
"Then take it off and take a look."
"Okay!" Li Le removed it in three strokes, five divided by two.
There are five pieces of furniture in total, and none of them are particularly large, but they are not small either.
"I'll give you 70,000 pieces. What do you think?"
"Okay." Li Le nodded.
The price is already quite high. If it hadn't been well maintained, I wouldn't have paid even 50,000 yuan.
Except for these five pieces of furniture, the rest needed to be weighed and sold for a total of 110,000.
Including the furniture, the price is 460,000, which means that the items Li Le took back cost 340,000.
"Did you receive any good furniture today?" Li Le asked.
"It's all in there, you can see for yourself."
"Okay, I'll go take a look. No need to pay the bill yet."
Li Le came to the area where furniture was placed at the purchasing station. It was basically furniture made of ordinary wood.
There are several pieces of furniture with good wood that are basically unusable. Li Le doesn't want this.
But he did find a good one and took it out.
"I want this hollow-carved bedside table. How much does it cost?" Anyway, the employee who received the goods took one look at it and said, "It was collected today for 50,000 yuan. You can pay 60,000 yuan!"
Regardless of whether you are in or out, it is recorded, and you cannot lose money.
Of course Li Le knew this, so he said without thinking: "Okay, just buckle it!"
"OK."
Then the employee at the purchasing station began to issue invoices to Li Le, not only for receiving the goods, but also for Li Le's purchase.
Li Le took the ticket and went in to check out. The accountant took a look at it and collected the receipt.
Then he stamped Li Le's ticket for buying a bedside table, handed it to him, and gave him another four hundred thousand.
In this case, it is equivalent to saying that Li Le spent 400,000 today to collect some furniture, calligraphy, paintings, books and ornaments.
It's quite good. Not to mention anything else, the total value of those ornaments alone is definitely more than a fine antique.
And buying a high-quality antique from Liulichang would cost at least several million, which meant that Li Le made a profit.
Don’t forget, this doesn’t include the furniture! There are also calligraphy, paintings and books.
If you add them all together, there will be more than two fine antiques.
On the way back, Li Le went into a grain and oil store to buy some grain before heading home.
When Li Le returned home, the two sisters Zhao Yanran were cooking. Li Le took off the bedside table, walked to the kitchen door and asked, "What are you making delicious today?"
"Brother Le, what do you want to eat?" Zhao Yanran asked with a smile.
Li Le thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, preferably pork belly."
Hearing what Li Le said, Zhao Yanran smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Le, there is some pork belly, but no garlic sprouts."
What the hell is this! Of course there are no garlic sprouts, but there are some in Li Le Space!
"Wait a moment." Li Le said and ran into the main room.
When he came out again, he had a handful of garlic sprouts in his hand, and they looked very fresh, as if they had just been pulled out of the garden.
"Garlic sprouts? Brother Le, where did these garlic sprouts come from?" Zhao Yanran asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about this, just do it."
"Yeah! Got it, Brother Le."
Li Le stretched and said, "I went to the main room to drink tea."
"Okay Brother Le, go ahead!"
When he came to the main room, Li Le made a pot of tea, placed it on the Eight Immortals table, then sat down and drank.
Li Le obtained so much tea, but none of it was left here.
Because there is no need, it doesn’t matter now. In a few years, if you have a sea of tea in the house, it will be just for enjoyment.
Just after drinking two cups of tea, Niu Shuanzhu came back.
The reason why he knew it was him coming back was because Li Le heard his whirring voice in the room.
"Brother, brother!"
Maybe you saw Li Le’s tricycle! The guy yelled and ran into the main room.
"Where is Soul Calling?" Li Le asked.
"Brother, I bought bacon." Niu Shuanzhu said as he entered the room carrying a large piece of bacon.
"Oh! Let me take a look." Li Le quickly stood up and said.
"Brother, look."
Li Le took it, looked at it, nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. Give it to your sister-in-law and ask her to fry some bacon for lunch."
"Okay, big brother." Niu Shuanzhu took the bacon and ran out quickly.
Li Le sat down and continued drinking tea, but he felt uncomfortable because as soon as he poured a cup of tea, Niu Shuanzhu ran in again.
"Brother, how do you like this bacon?"
"It's great! What's wrong?"
"Okay, that's fine. I met a bacon seller today, but I didn't dare to buy more, so I just bought this one, and I'm going to show it to you. If it's good, I'll buy more in the afternoon."
"Uh!" Li Le was stunned for a moment, looked at Niu Shuanzhu and asked, "You mean you met a bacon seller?"
"Yes!" Niu Shuanzhu nodded.
"Then you bought this piece?"
"Yes!" Niu Shuanzhu nodded again.
"Are you stupid? If you don't buy more when you encounter it, can you still encounter it next time?" Li Le stood up and knocked Niu Shuanzhu on the head.
Niu Shuanzhu grinned in pain and said while rubbing his head: "You can touch it! I have already told him that I will come back and let you see. If it is good, I will have as much as I want."
"Well!"
Hearing what Niu Shuanzhu said, Li Le felt a little embarrassed. He hit someone on the head before he understood it clearly, which was a bit too much.
But he is the eldest brother! Even if you are wrong, you cannot admit it directly!
“You have some brains. Remember next time, as long as it’s bacon, just buy it directly. There’s no need to come back and ask me.”
"I know, brother."
"Okay, sit down and drink tea."
"Um!"
Niu Shuanzhu was really thirsty, so he brought an enamel jar over and poured it into his stomach.
Li Le gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "You kid, I shouldn't let you drink tea. You're really a fool chewing peonies."
"Brother, why are cows chewing peonies? Don't cows eat grass?"
"I'm talking about you chewing peonies."
Niu Shuanzhu scratched his head and said, "I don't chew peonies!"
In fact, whether it is Li Le or Niu Shuanzhu, they always bring hot water with them when they go out.
It's just that military kettles are not insulated, which was fine when we first went out. But after staying outside for a long time, the water quickly gets cold and freezes.
Li Le usually carries the kettle in his arms. In this way, not only can he keep warm, but the water in the kettle will not get cold all morning or afternoon.
Not long after the meeting, Ma Feng and the others also came back. At this time, the food happened to be ready.
A few guys put the grain they bought in the east wing and went to wash their hands.
Today's dishes were very rich, especially when they saw the garlic sprouts and the fried meat, several guys' eyes turned green.
This is winter! You can't see the age of vegetables at all, but suddenly you can eat garlic sprouts. You can imagine what will happen.
Today there is not only fried pork with garlic sprouts, but also bacon, and a large pot of chicken.
The staple food is rice, but there is no way. When the weather is cold, the noodles are not easy to ferment, so steamed buns cannot be steamed.
But rice is also fine, it’s also a fine grain, and as long as you don’t eat it every day, it’s still pretty good.
Li Le doesn't care about this. It's okay for him to eat rice every day. Likewise, it's okay to eat steamed buns every day.
It's just that Li Dai pulls them. They prefer to eat pasta. If they don't eat pasta for two days, they feel uncomfortable.
In fact, it was not only Li Dai who pulled them, but also the two sisters Zhao Yanran.
What does this mean? It means that life is going very well.
Let them starve three times a day. Not to mention not eating pasta, they will probably eat raw sweet potatoes as soon as they grab them.
You must know that during the three-year difficult period, all the grass roots and tree barks were eaten away, and even the Guanyin soil was eaten.
"Look at what you all look like. Eat them all!"
If Li Le didn't move his chopsticks, no one would do it, so Li Le could only pick up a piece of meat and put it in the bowl.
"Wow, brother, why do I feel that these garlic sprouts are more delicious than meat?" Gou Sheng said.
"Really! In this way, when the garlic sprouts come out next year, I will let you eat garlic sprouts three times a day, and you won't eat the meat."
"Uh!" Gou Sheng was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Brother, I'm talking about now."
Li Le curled his lips and thought: You just want to eat something fresh. I will let you eat garlic sprouts for three days without eating meat. Try it.
"Okay, if it tastes good, eat more. Your sister-in-law was so stupid that she fried a lot of garlic sprouts."
"Uh! Brother Le, I..." Zhao Yanran blushed.
Li Le originally thought that Zhao Yanran would cook a few meals with such a large handful of garlic sprouts, but who knew that she would fry them all at once.
This left Li Le speechless. He really didn't know how to live!
Winter begins now! Is it easy to get vegetables?
"Okay, it's all done, what's the use now?"
"oh!"
Seeing Zhao Yanran like this, Li Le said quickly: "Let's do this. I'll get some more later. You put a few in every time you cook."
"Yeah!" Zhao Yanran nodded quickly, with a smile on her face.
In fact, Li Le still has a lot of them in his space, and he also needs cucumbers and tomatoes, but he can't take them out.
There is a saying called cyclical progression, and Li Le thought that this was it. Today he would take out a handful of garlic sprouts, and the next day he would take out a few cucumbers.
As time goes by, everyone becomes accustomed to it.
"By the way, don't talk about this matter outside, and no one can say it."
"I know, brother."
"Don't worry, brother, I won't tell anyone."
"That's right."
"It's good for you to know."
I had to go out in the afternoon, so I didn’t drink. If I didn’t drink, I ate quickly. In less than half an hour, the meal was finished.
Mainly because there is heating in the room, otherwise it would take ten minutes to finish the meal, because the food would get cold before I could finish it.
After dinner, Zhao Yanran and the two sisters went to the kitchen to clean up, while Li Le and the others drank tea in the house when they had nothing to do.
"No, I've eaten too much, I'm going to take a nap." Niu Shuanzhu said, rubbing his belly.
"Go! Just get up at half past one." Li Le nodded and said.
People are like this. When they are full and the blood supply to the brain is insufficient, they will easily become sleepy. Li Le is the same.
However, he planned to wait until Zhao Yanran and the two sisters finished cleaning up and sleep together.
Although I don’t do much during the day, resting with two beautiful beauties in my arms is one of the great joys in life.
There was no leftover food in this era, so they packed it up quickly. Before even finishing a pot of tea, the two sisters Zhao Yanran came to the main room.
Li Le stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take a nap too."
"Um!"
The two sisters nodded and followed Li Le into the house.
As for Ma Feng and the others, there is no need to worry about it. The three guys have already taken out their cards.
It seems that I am not going to take a nap.
But it doesn't matter, now the days are short and the nights are long, there is enough time to sleep at night.
Not to mention Ma Feng and others, even Li Le sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night and can only force himself to continue sleeping.
You can't get up in the middle of the night!
More than an hour later, Li Le woke up. Seeing Zhao Yanran and her two sisters sleeping soundly, Li Le didn't call them and just got up on his own.
At this time, Ma Feng and the others were ready to set off.
"Dong dong dong!" There was a knock on the door.
"Gou Sheng, go see who it is." Li Le shouted.
"Okay, big brother." Gou Sheng agreed and went over to open the door.
"Brother, it's Uncle Guan." Gou Sheng shouted to Li Le after opening the door.
Li Le ran over quickly, and sure enough it was Uncle Guan standing outside.
"Uncle Guan, what's wrong with you? Come in quickly." Li Le quickly let Uncle Guan in.
"No, I came here to tell you to come to my place after dinner in the evening."
"Uh! Uncle Guan, what's the matter?" Li Le asked.
"You'll know when the time comes." Uncle Guan didn't tell Li Le what he wanted to do.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go there tonight."
"Yeah!" Uncle Guan nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first."
"Okay, walk slowly."
"Brother, why is Uncle Guan so mysterious? Why did he let you go but didn't tell you?" Ma Feng said.
"Why do you care so much? Let's go quickly!"
"oh!"
After Ma Feng and the others left, Li Le also left.
Because the two sisters Zhao Yanran were still sleeping, Li Le could only call Laifu to the door and then close the door from the outside.
As for whether it’s okay to be a doorman at Laifu, there’s no need to ask, it’s pretty good!
When Li Legang brought Laifu back, he only weighed about twenty pounds! Now two years have passed.
This guy is now fully grown, almost as tall as Li Le's thigh.
As for the weight, it’s definitely no less than eighty pounds, so it’s quite a big dog!
To be honest, Li Le also didn't understand. Can a native dog grow so big?
But Laifu has grown so big. I don’t know if it’s because of the good food or other reasons.
After running around all afternoon, Li Le felt lonely, mainly because the afternoon was too short.
I didn’t go out until two o’clock, and it would be dark at five o’clock. I couldn’t go back after dark! So I rushed home at four o'clock.
Of course, Li Le did not forget to buy food.
When Li Le returned home, Ma Feng and the others had already come back and were helping Niu Shuanzhu unload the bacon into the side room.
It seems that this boy really made a deal with others. There is a lot of bacon in this cart. If it is not a thousand catties, it must be eight hundred catties.
Li Le didn't go to help because there weren't many, and they finished it quickly.
Li Le went to wash his face first, and then returned to the main room.
After dinner, Li Le came out of the house. Instead of riding a tricycle, he walked there.
Anyway, it wasn't very far away. More than 20 minutes later, Li Le arrived at Uncle Guan's house.
This time he brought nothing, not even wine.
Because he knew that Uncle Guan definitely didn't ask him to come over for drinking, otherwise he wouldn't have been allowed to come over after dinner.
Li Le went up and patted the door, and soon Uncle Guan opened the door.
"Come in first, I'll prepare something."
"Yeah!" Li Le nodded and did not ask Uncle Guan what he wanted to prepare.
When he came to the house, Li Le sat down first and poured himself a cup of tea.
When Uncle Guan entered the back room, Li Le came out before he finished his cup of tea.
"Let's go!"
"oh!"
Seeing how worried Uncle Guan was in his arms, he still didn't ask, because Uncle Guan would tell him what he should know.
When he came outside, Uncle Guan locked the door and walked in front without saying a word. Li Le followed closely behind.
Looking at the direction Uncle Guan was walking, Li Le frowned. The main room was heading towards Chaoyang!
An hour later, Li Le finally knew where Uncle Guan was going.
Ghost Street, yes, it is Guijie in later generations, but now it is not called Guijie, but Ghost Street.
Of course, it can also be called a ghost market or black market.
As soon as he came in, Li Le saw many people setting up stalls here, selling a wide variety of things.
Although buying and selling is not prohibited at this time, it is not that easy if you want to sell things to people who need them.
So the black market emerged, and people who wanted to sell things they didn’t need, and people who wanted to buy certain things that couldn’t be bought, would come to this place.
Li Le had heard of this place before, but he had never been here. He didn't expect that Uncle Guan asked him to come to this place.
You must know that the black market is very chaotic. No wonder Uncle Guan wants to call him. He is asking him to be a bodyguard!
Li Le saw large and small yellow croakers and silver coins at a stall.
This is the second time he has seen silver coins in this era. The first time was of course when he took out those from the Eight Immortals Table.
Li Le didn't know if there were any rules here, so he didn't ask and just followed Uncle Guan inside.
Soon we came to the middle of the ghost street. There happened to be an empty spot on the roadside, and Uncle Guan stopped.
Then he took out a piece of cloth from his arms, spread the cloth on the ground, and then took out a few things from his arms.
When he saw these things, Li Le was surprised because what Uncle Guan took out turned out to be antiques.
And they are all top quality.
Li Le squatted down and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Guan, are you short of money? Please tell me if you are short of money!"
Uncle Guan looked back at Li Le and asked, "Who told you I was short of money?"
"If you don't lack money, why don't you sell the antiques?" Li Le asked speechlessly.
Uncle Guan glared at Li Le and said, "What do you know, kid! Where do you think my money comes from? How can I make money without selling antiques? How can I buy better antiques?"
"Uh!" Li Le looked at Uncle Guan in surprise.
He seemed to understand a little bit. Uncle Guan came here to make a bad profit!
Needless to say, these fine antiques were specially collected by Uncle Guan, and they are probably not too expensive.
Then he took it here and sold it, and used the money to buy better antiques.
I understand, but Li Le still can't figure it out, because Uncle Guan can definitely sell this antique to him!
At this moment, a man of unknown age walked over.
The reason why you can't tell your age is that everyone who comes to the ghost street has their faces covered, including Uncle Guan and Li Le.
The man knelt down, glanced at a few things on Uncle Guan's stall, and then picked up a bottle.
He looked at it carefully and asked, "How much does this cost?"
"One thousand and five." Uncle Guan gave a price.
The one thousand and fifty mentioned here is not fifteen hundred yuan, but fifteen million.
To be honest, Li Le was shocked when he heard the price because it was too expensive.
Even if you buy a treasure in Liulichang, it won't cost so much! This much money is more than enough to buy two such exquisite products.
At the same time, he also understood why Uncle Guan didn't sell it to him.
If you sell it to him, Uncle Guan can't ask for a price at all, but if you don't ask for a price, how can Uncle Guan make money?
"Your price is a bit high." The man shook his head and said.
I heard Uncle Guan say unhurriedly: "The price I want is definitely not high. This is passed down from my ancestors. If it weren't for me or getting married, I wouldn't be able to sell it at all."
After saying this, Uncle Guan turned his head and glanced at Li Le.
This left Li Le speechless. It turned out that Uncle Guan asked him to come here to be his son!
When the man heard what Uncle Guan said, he turned his head and looked at Li Le.
Although Li Le also covered his face, he looked like a young man at first glance.
The main reason is that Li Le is not as tightly wrapped as others. Uncle Guan, wearing a hat and scarf, can be said to be the same.
Only Li Le was not wearing a hat, and only half-covered his face with a scarf.
"Even so, it is indeed a bit expensive. Let me tell you the real price. If possible, I will take it."
