Siheyuan: Starting from the Pig Killer

Chapter 54 It’s time to introduce someone
  When Xiang Yunduan returned home, he didn't put the bicycle outside on the corridor, but carried it directly into the house.

If someone took advantage of him while he was asleep and removed the wheels from the car, it would be a big loss.

It's not that he is judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. There is actually a real villain in this yard.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as Xiang Yunduan was lying on the bed, he took out a pea-green porcelain bottle more than 20 centimeters tall from the space. He looked at it carefully and felt the influence of the artistic atmosphere. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Has Xiaoxiang slept? The third uncle came to see you for a drink." Yan Bugui's voice sounded outside the door.

Xiang Yunduan put the porcelain bottle back into the space, then stood up and opened the door.

Yan Bugui stood at the door with a smile on his face, holding a green wine bottle in one hand and a plate of fried peanuts in the other.

"Hey, third uncle, what's going on?"

Xiang Yunduan was a little surprised when he saw Yan Bugui's posture. This Yan Laoji has always been the only one who takes things out of other people's pockets, but he has never seen anyone take the initiative to let others take advantage of him. Today, the moon is rising in the west. Already?
  "You little thing, please give way. Let the third uncle go in first!"

Yanbu Gui couldn't help but say when he saw Xiang Yunduan blocking the door.

Xiang Yunduan didn't know what kind of medicine this guy wanted to sell in his gourd, so he didn't refuse, but let him enter the house, and then closed the door again.

After Yan Bugui entered the room, he put the things in his hands on the table. Before he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the bicycle placed on the other side.

"Tsk tsk..."

Yan Bugui looked around in circles for a long time, then stretched out his hand to touch up and down the body of the car. He couldn't help but sigh. After a while, he asked, "How much did it cost to buy this?"

Seeing the sour look on Yan Bugui's face, Xiang Yunduan joked: "Aren't you always known as the iron abacus in our yard? Please figure it out, what is the value of my bicycle?"

"Hey, aren't you taking the exam for your third uncle? I was also going to buy a bicycle, but I didn't expect that you would beat me to it.

A bicycle of this quality should cost eighty or ninety yuan, right? "Yan Bugui probed.

Xiang Yunduan didn't speak, he just stretched out his thumb, index finger and middle finger and put them together.

"Seventy? Impossible! This car can't be sold for only seventy yuan!" Yan Bugui shook his head like a rattle, and his glasses almost flew off.

"Look, you don't believe it to be honest!" Xiang Yunduan said speechlessly.

"Really seventy yuan? Where did you buy it?" Yan Bugui asked quickly.

Has the price of bicycles dropped in the past two days? If that's the case, then he needs to tighten his grip.

"The commissioned store in Dongdan. If you want to buy one, go and ask. When I bought it, there were more than a dozen bicycles in the warehouse!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Then how much did you spend on this watch?" Yan Bugui looked at Xiang Yunduan's wrist, his little eyes almost turning red.

He was a dignified people's teacher and a serious intellectual, but he didn't even wear a watch on his hand. Unexpectedly, Xiang Yunduan, a pig butcher, actually wore a watch.

This, this, this...is this in line with Zhou etiquette?
  This time Xiang Yunduan didn't ask Yan Bugui to guess again. If he was asked to guess, he might not even guess correctly.

"Six big black cards!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"What? You kid, do you think my eyes are dim? How can a watch cost so little? It's not as expensive as a bicycle?" Yan Bugui was going crazy.

With his personality, if he sees others taking advantage of others, it will be more uncomfortable than if he himself suffers a loss.

If the watch only cost sixty yuan, he would have bought it long ago.

Apart from anything else, a watch can highlight his status as a cultural person better than a bicycle.

"It's really only sixty yuan, but the reason why this watch is so cheap is because there is something wrong with the watch. I don’t know how much it will cost to repair this watch!”

Seeing Yan Bugui breathing heavily and his chest rising and falling rapidly, Xiang Yunduan didn't dare to stimulate this guy any more. If he was stimulated any more, his lungs might explode.

Sure enough, when Yan Bugui heard what he said, his excitement finally calmed down. If he really spent sixty yuan to buy a good watch, Yan Bugui might not be able to sleep well tonight.

"Xiao Xiang, tell me the truth, where did you get so much money? Sixty for the watch and seventy for the car, which adds up to one hundred and thirty. This is not a small amount of money!" Yan Bugui finally remembered that he was at this moment. The purpose of coming here, he asked.

"Secret!" Xiang Yunduan said.

"Ouch, come on, Xiao Xiang, we haven't had a good drink since you moved in. We are neighbors, so we need to move around more!" Yanbu Gui saw that Xiang Yunduan refused to say anything and did not force him. , but took Xiang Yunduan to sit down and prepared to chat while drinking.

This is considered a roundabout way. After all, some people usually look quite calm, but if they drink a little alcohol, their temperament can easily change.

If you pour some wine into Xiang Yunduan, maybe Xiang Yunduan will talk more?

This was something he had calculated before Yan Bugui came.

Xiang Yunduan found two wine cups from the cabinet next to him, then sat down and said, "It seems that if I had told you so quickly, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy the peanuts and wine?"

"What are you talking about? Is the third uncle that kind of person? The third uncle sincerely invites you to drink!" Yan Bugui said.

"Really? Don't you want to know anything else?" Xiang Yunduan said with a smile.

"Hey, of course I was drinking sincerely, but as you know the situation of the third uncle's family, they are really in a tight situation. If you have any way to make money, you must think of taking the third uncle with you!" Yan Bugui said as he said While personally serving Xiang Yun Duan a full glass of wine.

"I'm just telling you, third uncle, why are you so generous today and even invite me to drink? It turns out that..."

As Xiang Yunduan spoke, he put some peanuts into his mouth, then picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, but the next moment, his expression suddenly changed.

"Ss~Pfft...poof...cough cough cough!"

After coughing several times, Xiang Yunduan cursed himself in his mind. He was a little carried away just now and didn't remember. You can't drink this Yanbu expensive wine.

"Third uncle, how much water did you add to this wine? What the hell is this? Can you still drink it?" Xiang Yunduan was speechless.

Yan Bugui is ruthless, not only scheming against others, but also scheming against his children, even to the point of scheming against himself.

I knew that Yan Bugui liked to mix water with wine, but I didn’t expect that water could be mixed like this. Is this wine mixed with water or water mixed with wine?

Yan Bugui couldn't help but look a little embarrassed when he saw that Xiang Yunduan was choking on the fake wine. He drank the fake wine himself, so he didn't have such a big reaction? Doesn't it just taste a little watery?
  But he knew that he couldn't dwell on this now, so he changed the subject and said: "Xiao Xiang, I remember when you first came here, you said that you are twenty this year, and at this age, it is time to marry a wife.

How about it? Is there any target? If you don’t have a partner yet, how about the third uncle introduce you to one? " "oh? "

Xiang Yunduan raised his brows, Yan Bugui, a master who never saw rabbits or let go of hawks, actually took the initiative to do good deeds?
  "Third uncle, in this courtyard, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao are both older than me, and they are not married. If you want to be the elder of the month, why don't you introduce them to them?" Xiang Yunduan asked.

"I'm just looking at how good your boy is. He's tall and big, neither fat nor thin. He's also very upright and has a dignified appearance. He's more worthy of a girl.

When Sha Zhu and Xu Damao stand side by side with you and compare them, the gap is simply the difference between a chicken and a phoenix! "Yan Bugui complimented.

"Really?"

Xiang Yunduan didn't expect that Yanbu Gui would flatter people in the same way.

"Of course it's true. When has Third Master ever deceived anyone? The girl I want to introduce to you is very beautiful. The key is that she has a very elegant temperament and is absolutely talented and beautiful!" Yan Bugui assured her with a pat on her chest.

Seeing what Yan Bugui said, Xiang Yunduan stood up and took out another bottle of wine from the cabinet next to him.

He doesn't smoke, but he drinks a little, so he also keeps a bottle of wine at home, and occasionally has a drink by himself when eating at home.

This bottle of wine is the Xifeng wine that he specially searched for.

The first wine tasting meeting was held in 1952, and eight famous wines were judged, including one fruit wine, one yellow wine, two wines and four white wines.

Luzhou Laojiao, Kweichow Moutai, Shaanxi Xifeng, and Xinghuacun Fenjiu are the four major liquors.

In fact, before that, rice wine was the most popular wine in the country. Anyone with some status drank rice wine, while white wine was drunk by the working people.

It was also after this wine tasting that baijiu gradually entered the market, replacing rice wine and becoming the mainstream drinking wine for Chinese people.

"Hey, Xifeng Wine, one of the four famous wines, your boy's life is really enviable!"

Yan Bugui's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Xiang Yunduan carrying out a bottle of Xifeng wine. As he spoke, he poured the wine in his cup back into the bottle, then tightened the lid and put it aside, and then looked at Xiang Yunduan.

Xifeng wine is not as expensive as Maozi, which costs nearly three yuan, but it is still one yuan a bottle, so it is not cheap.

Moreover, the output of Xifeng Liquor is not high. Before it won the title of "Four Famous Liquors", it did not even have a serious factory. It was completely a small workshop model. Therefore, there are not many on the market, and it is much rarer than Maozi.

Yan Bugui looked at the Xifeng wine in front of him and felt much better. If he drank two more cups of Xifeng wine, he would have earned back his peanuts tonight.

Xiang Yunduan was not stingy. He poured a cup for Yanbu Gui and another for himself, and then said: "Third uncle, I always repay kindness. If you can introduce me to someone, I'm very happy." Be happy, if things work out, this thank you gift will definitely satisfy you.

But let’s start with the ugly talk. I have high standards. Let’s not talk about life. I won’t be able to see this for a while. But appearance can be seen clearly at a glance. Although everyone's aesthetics are different, their taste in ugliness is similar. If you introduce me to that kind of crooked melon and split jujube to defraud me of my thank you gift, don't blame me for not turning your back when the time comes. Recognize someone! "

Yan Bugui must be guarded against. In the original drama, this guy accepted Sha Zhu’s gift, but did not introduce Sha Zhu to Ran Qiuye. He also bluntly said that Sha Zhu was not worthy of Ran Qiuye. This was really a disservice to everyone.

"Sss~ah~good wine!"

Yan Bugui drank a glass of wine and couldn't help but admired that even though he usually drank all the water and wine, he still had the ability to taste wine, and he could certainly taste good wine.

After finishing a glass of wine, this guy was not polite and took it upon himself to fill another glass. Then he said: "Don't worry, she is absolutely beautiful. She is no worse than when Qin Huairu first married into the courtyard. The key is that she has a better temperament. Qin Huairu, this country girl, is much better."

Xiang Yunduan had a serious look on his face, but Yan Bugui didn't take it seriously, because he had no intention of introducing ugly people to Xiang Yunduan. On the contrary, he was eager for Xiang Yunduan to take the trouble of beauty and go home.

That is to say, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, animals were not allowed to become spirits, otherwise he would find a Daji for Xiang Yunduan.

"Okay, then tell me first, what's going on with this girl? What's her name? How old is she? What's her family's background?" Xiang Yunduan asked when he saw that Yan Bugui didn't seem to be joking.

"The girl has just turned eighteen and graduated from high school. She was assigned to be a teacher in our elementary school not long ago. As for the rest of the situation, you can ask it yourself when you meet." Yan Bugui said.

In fact, it was only after his wife reminded him that he suddenly thought of this new female teacher. He didn't know the specific situation at all. He couldn't tell anything now and could only wait until the next meeting to find out more.

"Okay!" Xiang Yunduan nodded and didn't care.

"Xiao Xiang, I'm going to introduce this girl to you. Can you also tell me how you got the money?"

After a few glasses of wine, Yan Bugui was already a little dizzy. Fortunately, he still hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip. He quickly asked, if he continued, Xiang Yunduan was not drunk but he was. What would happen if he did? It would be a waste of effort.

"Come on, it doesn't matter if I tell you, but I'm afraid you have no hope of making money this way!"

Xiang Yunduan shook his head, and then told him about going into the mountains to collect herbs, hunt, and sell Ganoderma lucidum and honey.

These days, it's not a good idea to hide wealth. If you can't explain the source of the money, you can easily be arrested as a spy.

How many latent spies have been submerged in the vast sea of ​​people's war just because their daily lives reveal financial resources that are not commensurate with their work.

Even if Yan Bugui didn't ask today, Xiang Yunduan still had to find an opportunity to speak out proactively to avoid causing trouble.

"Hunting? Collecting herbs?"

Yan Bugui suddenly sobered up a lot when he heard what Xiang Yunduan said. This is indeed possible. Xiang Yunduan is a mountain person after all, so it's not surprising that he knows these things.

Fortunately, I didn't think of reporting Xiang Yunduan personally, otherwise, wouldn't this be a scam?

Moreover, Xiang Yunduan even mentioned the things he sold in Tongrentang. It can be seen that it does not seem to be a random fabrication. After all, it is easy to find out.

However, although the matter was clarified, Yan Bugui did not give up his plan to provoke Jia Zhang to report Xiang Yun Duan.

Xiang Yunduan has great potential, and he must win over him, so it is beneficial to Yan Bugui to make the relationship between the Jia family and Xiang Yunduan worse. Moreover, the Jia family has a good relationship with Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai has made a grudge, so he won't be afraid that Xiang Yunduan will reconcile with Yi Zhonghai later.

"Third uncle, you are such a sad person, are you unhappy that I have money?"

Seeing Yan Bugui suddenly fall into silence, Xiang Yunduan thought that this guy was jealous again, so he couldn't help but ask.

"How could that be possible? The third uncle is not that kind of person. I just regret that I don't know how to hunt and collect herbs. Otherwise, I could have gone into the mountains and made a fortune like you!" Yan Bugui reacted quickly, and of course he didn't take it to heart. Speak up.

"I heard that Third Uncle, you are good at fishing. Although you can't hunt or collect herbs, you can still supplement your family income by fishing!" Xiang Yunduan joked.

When it comes to fishing, Yan Bugui is a typical person who loves to cook and loves to play. That is to say, fishing has no cost now. If in future generations, he likes fishing and then likes fishing gear, then he may be in danger of going bankrupt. , not much better than playing a SLR!
  It's okay if Xiang Yunduan didn't say it. When he said it, Yan Bugui felt even more angry. He fished hard for a day, and if he could get three or four kilograms of fish, he was lucky, but this Compared with Xiang Yunduan's hunting and medicinal collection, his income suddenly became boring.

No matter what it is, it is afraid of comparison!
