Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 7: Brotherly Love (Please collect)

"Is this the roast duck from Bian Yi Fang? Where did you get it?"

After a while, Li Guoqiang came back to his senses and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

If this happened in his previous life when he was living in modern times, he would not be that surprised even if someone bought an ostrich and put it in front of him, let alone a roast duck.

But what era is it now?
Now the average salary is no more than 30 yuan.

A roast duck from Bian Yi Fang, even if you pick a smaller one to take home, will cost at least 8 yuan per duck. If you dine in the restaurant, it will be even more expensive.

What's more, Li Guofu was just an unemployed young man like him. How could he have so much money to buy roast duck?
Just when he was a little confused, Li Guofu scratched his scalp, then explained with a silly smile:

"Hey, brother, have you forgotten? Didn't my dad find me a job helping people unload goods at the post office half a month ago? It just so happens that there has been a lot of work recently, and I can basically earn more than one yuan a day. Today I have saved up ten yuan, so I thought of buying a roast duck from Bianyifang and bringing it back for my dad, mom, sister, and you, so that you can taste the meat."

"Come on, take a few bites while it's still hot!"

As he said this, he wanted to untie the oil paper package.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang quietly swallowed his saliva, then quickly waved his hand and refused: "Forget it, this is the first time you earn money to buy meat for your family, so you should wait for our mom and sister to come back and eat together!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guofu suddenly became anxious.

"No! We haven't had any meat for more than half a month. Your body is weak to begin with. How can you not eat some meat to replenish it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Guoqiang immediately understood the real purpose of Li Guofu buying the roast duck, and his heart was instantly moved.

You have to know that Li Guofu spent nearly half a month and carried countless packages for others in exchange for this roast duck!

If Li Guoqiang had previously felt that it was a foolish thing for his predecessor to give up the opportunity to stay in the city to Li Guofu, he now really felt it was worth it.

Afterwards, he did not refuse Li Guofu's kindness. He took the oil paper package and then picked up a piece of golden and tender duck meat from the package and put it into his mouth.

Before he could taste it carefully, Li Guofu asked expectantly, "How is it? Delicious, right?"

"Mm, delicious, this is the best roast duck I have ever eaten!"

Li Guoqiang nodded vigorously, then spoke seriously.

Not to mention anything else, the brotherhood contained in the duck meat alone is enough to surpass all the delicacies he had eaten in his previous life.

Not to mention, the ingredients used in this day and age of Bian Yi Fang Roast Duck are very particular and it is indeed a rare delicacy.

It makes people feel the fragrance in their mouths and leave an endless aftertaste.

"Hey! Then hurry up and eat more. I'll buy you more next time after you finish eating!"

Upon hearing this, Li Guofu immediately laughed like a silly child, and at the same time urged Li Guoqiang to eat more, without worrying at all that he would have nothing to eat.

Li Guoqiang looked at Li Guofu's throat moving up and down from time to time, and he felt a little funny and touched.

Then, while Li Guofu was not paying attention, he quickly picked up a piece of duck meat from the oil paper bag and stuffed it into Li Guofu's mouth, and then he rewrapped the oil paper bag.

Li Guofu saw Li Guoqiang's actions and was about to refuse, but his mouth was attracted by the deliciousness of the roast duck and he began to chew unconsciously.

After he reluctantly swallowed the roast duck that had been chewed into a paste, he was able to free his mouth to complain: "Brother, didn't I tell you to eat first? Why did you force it on me?"

"Just eat it if I give it to you. Why are you talking so much? I'm your brother. Do you think you can control me?"

Li Guoqiang glared at him, and then began to lecture him in a somewhat unpleasant tone. "."

Li Guofu opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang waved his hand and said, "Okay, take the roast duck to our parents' room first, and then come back and go out with me to buy some things."

"Brother, just tell me what you want to buy and I'll buy it for you. Why do you have to go there in person?"

Li Guofu reached out to take the oil paper bag, then asked with some confusion.

For a long time, because Li Guoqiang was in poor health and often fell ill, usually, if Li Guoqiang wanted to buy something, he would ask his family to help him go out and buy it.

Among them, his younger brother helped buy the most times.

Li Guoqiang had no intention of explaining his doubts. He just shook his head and said something in reply.

"Don't ask me yet. You'll know when you buy it later."

In fact, he just wanted Li Guofu to buy some things from the supply and marketing cooperative, then drop them on the ground, and then have him pick them up using his scavenging skills to see if he could get the reward from Jin Daddy in this way.

If that were possible, then he might not have to take risks in the black market.

Although he felt that it was unlikely that Father Jin would leave him such an obvious loophole, he still wanted to verify it.

"Oh!"

When Li Guofu heard what Li Guoqiang said, he could only keep his doubts in his heart. After nodding in agreement, he hurriedly ran out with the roast duck.

After a while, he hurried back and showed Li Guoqiang the bicycle keys he and Li Dawei had taken.

Seeing that Li Guofu was so thoughtful, Li Guoqiang immediately gave him a look of approval. Then, just as he was about to go out, he suddenly thought of a very critical issue.

"By the way, do you have any money on you?"

"Yes, I still have fifty-seven cents. Is that enough? If not, I'll go ask dad for some more!"

Li Guofu was slightly stunned, then hurriedly took out a few Mao and cent bills from the pocket made of scraps of cloth in the lining of his clothes.

"enough!"

When Li Guoqiang saw that Li Guofu was rich, he felt slightly relieved, then he immediately opened the door and walked out.

Upon seeing this, Li Guofu quickly ran to the shed and pushed the bicycle out. Then, holding the 28-inch bicycle in one hand, he followed Li Guoqiang towards the gate of the courtyard.

However, as soon as they reached the door, they ran into two young men from the courtyard.

"Hey! Brother Qiangzi, where are you planning to go?"

When Xiaodang saw Li Guoqiang leading the way, his eyes lit up instantly, and then he hurriedly smiled and greeted him.

However, Bang Geng, who was following behind her, was not as enthusiastic as her. Instead, he spoke with a mocking look on his face.

"Oh! You're still going out in such cold weather! What if you catch a cold? Then you'll have to waste money on medicine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Li Guoqiang could react, a figure suddenly rushed towards Bang Geng from behind him and grabbed Bang Geng by the collar.
