Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

It's because you're a cripple with a blind eye and a missing finger, and no one wants you. Otherwise, they would have sold you as well."

"You!" Bang Geng was furious. He didn't expect that he was worthless in the eyes of the other party.

"What are you talking about?! If you say another word, I'll slap you twice." Qin Huaihe said bluntly, "By the way, you just said you don't want to live here anymore, right?

It just so happens that I don’t plan to let you sleep in the house, so come with me.”

Qin Huaihe led Banggeng to a newly built thatched cottage in the yard. "You'll live here from now on. How about a separate house? Luxurious enough, right?"

"This is a doghouse. I won't live here."

Banggeng felt greatly insulted. How could he, the eldest son of the Jia family, live in a doghouse?

After a good beating, Banggeng, with a bruised face and nose, was left wearing only a bitter tea hat and lived in a thatched hut.

The rest of the clothes were also taken away by Qin Jianguo and his brothers.

"Don't worry, Banggeng. Since you are the only blood of my heartless and ungrateful sister, I won't do anything to you. But whether you can survive depends on your ability."

In order to prevent Bang Geng from escaping, Qinhuai River tied him up and blocked his mouth, and he could only be untied when eating.

Even when I eat, there are people watching me.

As long as Banggeng dared to call for help, he would be beaten.

Chapter 626: Want to Buy Meat Again

At first, Banggeng still wanted to escape, but after being beaten a few times, he no longer dared to think about it.

Listening to the laughter of his uncle's family, Banggeng could only draw circles on the ground and curse them.

On the weekend, Uncle Jiang and his family went to Xu's house to discuss Jiang Yue's marriage, and Jiang Fan was also there.

The two families knew each other well, so there were no major setbacks and they decided to get married on October 1st this year.

Both parties have been preparing for the past few months, including the betrothal gift, home decoration, house furniture, and renovation. It can't be too shabby, right?

While Jiang Yue was looking for someone to repair the house, Jiang Fan persuaded Shen Yue to also repair and reinforce their own house. He remembered that there would be another earthquake in the future.

The renovation project took more than half a month and was finally completed in mid-July.

During this period, everyone was confused as to whether the Jiang family had too much money to burn and why they had to repair the house.

But no one dared to speak. The troublemaker in the courtyard, Jia Zhang, was in jail, and Li Yun's whereabouts were unknown. Apart from them, no one else in the courtyard had the courage to cause trouble openly.

"Today I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat. Isn't it strange that the butcher gave me a little extra, and it was fat."

"Isn't it good enough to give you more? You have to let him deduct a little from you before you're happy?"

"That's not the case. There's been more and more meat on the market lately. A couple of days ago, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy meat in the afternoon, and there was still some. Before, there wasn't even any meat, let alone minced meat."

"Now that you mention it, I feel it too. There's more meat, but you still need a ticket."

Two people who came back from buying groceries were discussing the topic of more meat, and similar remarks appeared in various places in Beijing.

In the courtyard, many neighbors gathered to discuss this issue, but their main topic was still wondering when they would be able to sell meat without a ticket.

"Aunt Yang, has your Jiefang family said anything recently? Do you still have that meat for sale that doesn't require a ticket?"

"No, how could I not tell you if I had any news?" Aunt Yang was also very anxious. So many people wanted to buy meat, and their family could make a lot of money from it. What a good business.

"Oh, what should I do? There are no meat coupons at home, and my grandson has become a picky eater, asking for meat every day. It's so difficult for me." An old lady said with a headache.

The others were in the same boat. It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was hard to go from extravagance to frugality. After a while of eating meat every other day, it was not easy to go back to the days when we could not eat much meat all year round.

"I remember Jiang Fan also bought a lot of meat that day. Didn't he need a ticket?"

"It's hard to say. Jiang Fan's wife's eldest brother is the deputy director. Maybe he gave her the ticket?"

"That's true. Why don't I have a relative who is an official?"

It's not always a bad thing to let others know that you have a background. At least now there will be people who will do their own self-discovery and find excuses for getting things for Jiang Fan.

Yan Jiefang got off work and found something wrong as soon as he entered the door.

His mother actually fried eggs and cooked meat. Although the portion was not much, it was still two meat dishes. The most important thing was that Yan Bugui actually spoke when he saw him.

"You're back now! Come sit down! We're waiting for you to have dinner. I still have half a bottle of good wine. Let's have a good drink today."

This is even more wrong. How could Yan Bugui say this?

Although Yan Jiefang had doubts in his heart, he still sat down. But when Yan Bugui urged him to drink a glass of wine, he immediately slammed the table and stood up.

"I don't care who you are, get off my dad right now!"

This action confused Yan Bugui and the others. They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"Jiefang, what are you doing?" Aunt Yang asked in confusion, not understanding what her son was up to.

"Mom, come here! There's something wrong with him. The wine he just gave me wasn't diluted with water. This is so wrong!"

After hearing what Yan Jiefang said, Yan Bugui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He was so heartbroken that he finally showed generosity to his son, but was treated like this.

Aunt Yang breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "Okay, Jiefang, your father is fine, he just has something to ask you."

After repeated confirmation, Yan Jiefang finally let down his guard and sat down again.

"Liberation, I want to ask you."

"Eat first, Jie Kuang, Jie Di, eat quickly. Dad, if you have anything to say, wait until I finish eating."

Yan Jiefang ate quickly, ignoring the embarrassed Yan Bugui beside him. Based on his understanding of Yan Bugui, he would have done something before eating.

Then Yan Bugui would most likely eat half of the dish and save it for the next meal.

It is best to eat the food first.

As if to verify this news, Yan Bugui also started grabbing the food on the table. There wouldn't be any left anyway, so he might as well eat it himself.

With the concerted efforts of the whole family, the food on the table was quickly wiped out.

Yan Bugui also used the remaining steamed bread to absorb the oil and water on the plate and ate it. This is a normal action, and almost everyone would do this at this time.

"Jiefang, we're done with dinner. Do you think we can talk about business now?" Yan Bugui smiled slightly flatteringly and tried to please his son.

"Okay, you just want to know when there's meat that doesn't require a ticket?"

"Yes, yes, yes. He is worthy of being my son. He and I are in tune with each other." Yan Bugui said happily.

"There is indeed a batch of meat that does not require a ticket coming out in the next two days, but, Dad, there is no free lunch in this world, right?" Yan Jiefang looked at Yan Bugui meaningfully.

"Jiefang, how can you ask for money? I paid for your job." Yan Bugui became unhappy instantly when he heard that Yan Jiefang wanted more benefits.

"Tsk, why are you in such a hurry? I didn't ask you for money." Yan Jiefang knew very well that it was impossible to deduct money from Yan Bugui just based on this matter.

So the benefit he wanted was, "No matter how much benefit you take from me this time, you have to give me at least half to cook for me."

Yan Bugui suddenly felt a pain in his flesh. He could foresee that if he bought meat again this time, people in the hospital would definitely buy more.

He could have gotten more, but if he gave half to Yan Jiefang... Oh, it would hurt.

Seeing Yan Bugui's reluctant look, Yan Jiefang said, "Dad, think it over carefully. If you share it with me, you can still make a lot of money. If you don't share it with me, you won't make any money at all."

After much hesitation, Yan Bugui finally agreed.

After obtaining the time and place from Yan Jiefang, Yan Bugui immediately went to notify every household.

Chapter 627 Another Batch Arrives

Because of the experience, this time it went smoothly.

Basically, as soon as he went to people's door and said something, they would agree.

Unlike last time, Yan Bugui went to He Daqing's house again this time.

"No ticket for meat, okay, I get it."

He Daqing didn't refuse directly. Even though he and Sha Zhu were both chefs, it wasn't easy to get it. They could only go to the pigeon market or the black market.

Now that Yan Bugui has a new way out, there is no reason to refuse.

As for the previous conflicts, there aren’t so many problems between adults. Interests still come first.

Just like last time, we signed the agreement at Yan Bugui's house, put our fingerprints on it, and then waited for action.

This time, many residents are thinking of buying more meat and preserving it well.

Two days later, at around three in the morning, everyone in the courtyard was ready to set off again.

Because of their previous experience, the people waiting for them in the courtyard were not in a hurry this time and were not as nervous as last time.

Everyone was waiting for their family to bring back the meat with laughter and discussing how to eat it after buying it.

Not long after, Yan Bugui returned with a group of people, amid the envious gazes of the surrounding neighbors.

"It's good to have a son who works in a meat processing plant. He can get first-hand information."

"But they are so stingy. I asked them where they bought it, but they wouldn't tell me."

"If you knew, would you tell me for free?"

Looking at the expressions of the onlookers, Yan Bugui had an idea in his mind, "Should I tell others about this news next time and make some more money? Let's go back and plan it."

Back in the yard, He Daqing cut up the meat again. Then it was the moment Yan Bugui had been waiting for.

This time, many people bought more, and with He Daqing also making a move, his share was almost double what it was last time.

But when he thought that half of these had to be given to Yan Jiefang, and that what he got was not as good as last time, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

The others were also unhappy when they saw Yan Bugui collecting the meat with a sour face.

Damn it, you're not happy after cutting off our flesh. A trace of resentment towards Yan Bugui emerged again.

And just this afternoon, Director Wang of the Street Office received a call.

"What? A large batch of pork is being sold to our neighborhood? It's arriving tomorrow? And no tickets are needed? Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Director Wang was delighted. The fact that the meat didn't require a ticket was no secret. She had also applied to higher authorities, but it required approval and some connections.

With so many factories and units in the old city, they will definitely be given priority.

There are also some that have been transferred to the market, but most of them require tickets, and those that do not require tickets are still a minority.

She had fought hard to get it.

Director Wang quickly made a specific distribution plan based on the above quantities.

Each supply and marketing cooperative within her jurisdiction made allocations based on population size.

"Xiong Fei, take your men and go to each alley to inform them that a batch of pork that doesn't require a ticket will arrive at the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow. Go quickly!"

"Yes!"

Xiong Fei did not dare to neglect and quickly set off with his men. This was a good thing that would benefit the people.

The staff knocked on the gate of the courtyard and explained their purpose amid the laughter of the crowd.

"Hello everyone, I'm from the neighborhood office. Here are my credentials. I'm here to inform you that tomorrow a batch of pork will be delivered to the supply and marketing cooperatives in our area without the need for a ticket or receipt.

Everyone can go and buy it then. The price is 55 cents per pound."

The man left after he finished speaking, and the smiles on the faces of the people in the yard froze.

"What did that guy just say? We'll also have a batch of meat tomorrow that doesn't require a ticket?"

"Not only that, the price is two cents cheaper than what we were going to buy."

"Then what's the point of all the meat we bought? Is it just bad luck for us?"

"Oh my God, why did this news come at this time? It would have been much better if you had come two days earlier or half a month later. You came now, I can't calm down."

Unlike the laughter and joy in other courtyards, the residents who bought meat in the courtyard suddenly felt a pang of pain. This was a huge loss.

After the news spread, the people in the courtyard calculated that the least they had lost was more than ten cents.

Don't underestimate this little bit of money. It can really cause people to quarrel and make a fuss.

Everyone came to the door of Yan's house again, wanting an explanation.
