The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 16 Money is always not enough
On Wednesday, it was Li Ming's turn to be on duty today. By the time he got to the office, Li Xueyao and Section Chief Chen had already arrived.

Li Xueyao is usually responsible for opening the door to the office, turning on the water, and fetching newspapers.

Nothing happened in the morning, the three sat in the office drinking tea, reading newspapers, and chatting. During this period, Section Chief Chen answered calls from two production teams.

The member meeting of the other party was held quickly, and it had been decided that their production team would share the meat for themselves this month and not sell it to the rolling mill.

They couldn't wait for the buyer to go to the countryside before sending back the news, so they called Section Chief Chen directly, hoping that Section Chief Chen could help arrange a few more movies.Films from the rolling mills are cheaper.

The office became lively in the afternoon. First, Liu De, who was in charge of raising ducks, brought two baskets of duck eggs and a few ducks from the countryside to the cafeteria.

Xin Zhao, who was also in charge of raising chickens, also brought back two baskets of eggs.Peng Jinfu and Zhang Youlu, who were on a business trip, came back. It turned out that the two of them went to Jinmen to buy seafood.

Now Li Ming is the owner of all three subjects, and he was given two gifts, a small bag of seaweed and kelp, and a small bag of dried fish.

As soon as the off-duty time came, several people in Corey slipped away. Except for Section Chief Chen, he hadn't seen anyone who worked overtime.

Li Ming rode his bicycle to the river near the rolling mill. He still followed the old routine, looking for water pools, making nests, sitting and waiting, and harvesting fish in a one-stop operation.

Ever since he was raided last time, Li Ming wanted to take some self-defense. He would often go to the countryside alone in the future, which was quite necessary in reality.

If it weren't for the vigorous tiger extermination campaign across the country in the past few years, places with mountains would have to worry about leopards, tigers and other ferocious beasts that like to lurk and attack.

The wild boar is fierce, but it is not dangerous for him to go straight and avoid lurking sneak attacks, instead it is delivered to the door.

Li Ming didn't know if the factory could apply for a gun, or if he got a gun from the Sunflower production brigade.

Earthen guns are also fine, scaring people, it is enough.

He planned to ask Qian Jin first tomorrow. He will go to the countryside alone starting next week. The route is fixed and it is easy to be ambushed by someone with a heart.

After collecting 30 catties of fish, he deliberately returned to the courtyard with a fishing net and two buckets of fish.

Li Ming took out the hard dishes packed in the cafeteria at noon from the space, and was going to find a neighbor's house to heat it up. After thinking about it, he decided to let Yan Bugui take advantage of it.

"Three moms, are you there?"

The third mother lifted the curtain, "Xiao Ming, what's the matter?"

"My coal stove is out. I would like to borrow your coal stove to heat the dishes and give you a new briquette."

"Okay, you can bring the food here."

"I'll go back and get it."

Li Ming walked towards Yan Bugui's house with a lunch box containing vegetables and 2 steamed buns in one hand and a briquette in the other.

"Third Master, I have caused you trouble." Li Ming said politely.

"It's okay, it's all from the neighbors. Xiao Ming, are all the fish you caught today sold to the factory?"

"Yes, Third Master. The factory receives [-] cents, but the purchase station only [-] cents."

"Xiao Ming, I also fish. See if you can help me and sell the fish I catch to the factory." The buying station doesn't like to buy one or two fish, and I don't know when they will die.

"Third Master, you have already opened your mouth. I will definitely help with this job. But the fish is too small, and the cafeteria will not accept fish under half a catty."

"Okay, okay, I will definitely not make it difficult for you. When I first saw Xiao Ming at the gate of the courtyard, I saw that you were capable and a good-looking talent." Yan Bugui didn't give Li Ming any favors, and good words are not stingy .

Li Ming wanted to gather energy and get what he needed, "Do you have it now? If you have it, you can give it to me by name, and I'll take it to the factory tomorrow."

Yan Bugui was overjoyed when he heard that, "Yes, yes, I'm well-raised. I'll go to the next door to borrow a scale. You wait here."

When Yan Bugui borrowed the scale and came back, Li Ming's meal was ready, and he weighed more than four catties of fish, and he directly settled the money to Yan Bugui.

As Li Ming expected, he harvested 2 wisps of luck energy.

happy with each other.

There is such a thing as selling fish, and Yan Bugui must be on Li Ming's side when there is something going on in the yard in the future, and he will help Li Ming hide some small things.

Li Ming plans to continue to win over Yan Bugui with small favors and small favors in the future, which is a stable source of luck and energy.

Back home, Li Ming first went to the utility room on the left to collect the wood in stock, and built two pieces of furniture with the newly obtained 2 strands of luck energy.The inventory is very stable, 1 wisp of luck energy.

As usual after dinner, Li Ming went to join in the fun with the crowd enjoying the shade.

"Silly Zhu went on a blind date with Matchmaker Wang from the street yesterday, and the people in the next courtyard saw it."

"Oh? Did you tell me where you went to see each other?"

"No, he also met on the road."

"That is, there is no match, and the reputation of the woman's family cannot be damaged."

"Shazhu's face is a bit older, maybe the woman is not satisfied."

"It's more likely that Sha Zhu's mouth was offended and he offended someone."

"That can't be done. Although Silly Zhu was a little stunned, he still understood what he said."

"Even if I got the picture, I didn't shout around immediately."

Neighbors, you can say something, and I can say something, the hot topic of silly blind date is estimated to last for a while.

For the blind date of Sha Zhu, Li Ming was going to let nature take its course.At most, when the woman came to the courtyard, he would go to the middle courtyard to find Widow Qin and find something for Widow Qin so that she would not have time to worry about it.If Xu Damao was at home, he would stare at Xu Damao again.

The topic quickly shifted to the table tennis game.At the No.4 Eighth World Table Tennis Championships at the end of April this year, we won five championships. Men’s singles and men’s doubles won the championship and runner-up. It was the first peak period of our table tennis, there were a lot of fierce players, and the atmosphere of enthusiastic participation of the public had been going on for several years.

Everyone can talk a little bit, and everyone is busy pointing out the country, but it's a pity that a bunch of people don't even have a champion in the alley, and they are addicted to food.

"Hehe, it's quite lively." Silly Zhu quickly walked into the courtyard.

"Silly Zhu, you are back from a blind date." Yan Bugui asked what everyone wanted to ask.

Silly Zhu stopped with a net bag with a lunch box in it, "I just got off work, and I worked overtime in the factory today. Third master, you are going to introduce me."

Carrying a lunch box to and from get off work is a day that almost every worker in this era has.Some will leave empty lunch boxes at the factory, while others will take home the saved vegetable lunch boxes.

Shazhu's lunch box is certainly not a saved leftover.

"I'm not suitable. Didn't the matchmaker in the street introduce you?" Yan Bugui asked again.

"It's early, I don't like the photos she took. Uncles and aunts, I haven't eaten yet, I'll go back to eat first. See you later." Sha Zhu walked towards the middle courtyard with his lunch box.

The third master slapped the cattail fan, "Silly Zhu, you are so picky."

Li Ming glanced at Third Master's cattail leaf fan, and wrapped it around with rags.He always felt it was weird before, but only now did he realize that everyone who took advantage of the shade had a hand, and some broken cattail fans even had two or three patches.

Most of the electric fans in these years are in special places, and they are basically ceiling fans, and ordinary people's homes are fans and cattail fans.

Facing the sweltering heat of summer, enjoying the cool outdoors after dinner is a good way to cool off.

The sophistication and sophistication of the east and the west are spread in the chat, and then spread quickly among small groups, faster than Babaili express.The children were chasing and playing around, attracting a burst of scolding from their parents from time to time.

The biggest excitement was gone, and Li Ming slipped back home calmly.

Li Ming planned to go to the countryside to get a cattail leaf fan for pretense, and he had to go to a department store to buy a better pen. The hero pen seemed to cost seven or eight yuan, which was not cheap, and it was worth his twenty or thirty catties of fish.He also needs to buy a radio for 45 yuan, and buy a watch such as a Modu brand. In addition to 120 yuan, he also needs to spend money to buy a watch ticket.

After all, it costs money everywhere, and Li Ming's 500 yuan is not enough.
