The strong fisherman in the courtyard

Li Ming nodded but didn't say anything. As long as everyone thought that the matter was over, it would be fine. If others thought that the matter was not over, it would be difficult for Li Ming to deal with Yan Jiecheng in a few days.

However, it was still the younger sister Li Rui who knew her own brother better. After the family finished their meal, Li Rui found an excuse and dragged her brother to the living room at the back. She wanted to find out more, after all, she felt that her brother must have some tricks that were useless.

living room.

"Brother, are you preparing something else? I always feel that it's not your style to let Yan Jiecheng, who lives next door, go like this."

As soon as I entered the door, my sister spoke curiously.

Li Ming smiled and said, "Am I such a petty person?"

"You are!"

"Forget it then. I originally thought I could fool everyone, but I didn't expect that I couldn't fool you. I'll talk about it in two days."

Li Ming touched his nose and said awkwardly.

I guess the guy next door is also worried about this thing. If it doesn't work, just endure it for a while. A gentleman's revenge is never too late.

"Uh, brother, did you really prepare a surprise for Yan Jiecheng?"

Li Ming smiled awkwardly, "I have such a plan."

"Then can you tell me what it is?"

"No, it won't work if I tell you. This thing has to be kept secret?"

Li Rui's face was almost filled with curiosity. "Tell me about it."

She immediately grabbed Li Ming's arm and started to act like a spoiled child. Li Ming took out five yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Rui's hand. "Do you want to know more?"

"No, no, no."

The girl knew when to stop and was extremely happy to receive such a large sum of money.

Although she is now a salaried person and does not have to hand in her salary every month, she has just entered the society not long after all, and five dollars is really not a small amount.

Li Ming is very satisfied with this point of his sister. I will shut up after receiving the money. The main thing is that I am greedy for money!

. . . . . .

Front yard, Yan's house.

The Yan family did not have a very pleasant dinner. Yan Fugui always felt that something was wrong. At least according to Li Ming's character, it was impossible for him to let it go so easily.

But if you ask him to go and ask now, he will definitely not do it! Who would come to your house to cause trouble?

Yan Jiecheng was just like a little chicken. He ate the food, which was even worse than usual, in silence and finished it in just a few bites.

He put down his chopsticks and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yan Fugui.

"You better be careful during this period, and don't run into the Li family's gun again! We can't afford to offend them!"

In response to Yan Fugui's instructions, Yan Jiecheng nodded and walked towards his room. As for whether he listened to it or not, that was his own business.

"Old Yan, isn't this matter over?"

The second aunt looked puzzled.

Yan Fugui put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "I just feel like something is wrong. I'll just ask Jie Cheng to pay more attention."

"By the way, starting from next month, leave him five dollars from the salary he hands in every month. No, two dollars will be enough."

"Two dollars is definitely enough. Let him pay the rest. I don't know how hard it is to make money. He did it this time and our family has to pay for several months' food expenses!"

Yan Fugui shifted the focus to money in just a few words. It must be said that the stinginess of this calculating person is really engraved in his DNA.

But what Yan Fugui said was not wrong, and Aunt Yan nodded in agreement. In order to make up for the stupid thing Yan Jiecheng did today, their family really had to spend a lot more money.

Li family, second bedroom.

After Li Ming sent his sister away, he lay down on the bed and began to study the prompts given by the system at that time.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for fishing successfully! ]

[Ding, fishing success rewards lottery number * 1, considering that the host made Yan Fugui, a famous stingy person in the courtyard, bleed a lot, hereby reward Big Black Ten * 10, top proficiency in locust stone throwing skills, and a set of house deeds for entering a small courtyard. ]

"Fuck, Yan Fugui is so valuable? He is no worse than Yi Zhonghai!"

When Li Ming saw the separate rewards of the property deed and skill proficiency, his eyes widened. How arrogant! Is Yan Fugui's promotion worth money?

Restraining the urge to continue to cause trouble for the Yan family, Li Ming turned his attention to the locust stone throwing technique, which gave him a reminder.

He can put off finding someone to beat up Yan Jiecheng, but that doesn’t mean he needs to put off dealing with Yan Jiecheng!

As long as he can prove his alibi, Yan Jiecheng will be easy to deal with! With the means of throwing locust stones, the operability here is quite high!

And the system didn't say that locust stones can only be thrown at stones, right? Jerry's firecrackers must be fine! Before crossing over, Li Ming had read a lot of Siheyuan fan fiction. Beating up all kinds of beasts was a basic operation, but it seemed that it was not impossible to toss the beasts into the dry toilet!

A plan was instantly formed in his mind. The only regret was that it was still cold and the time when this dry toilet was most lethal had not yet arrived!

But it shouldn't be too bad! Although the taste is not as good as this one, it is definitely icy and cold, and I believe it can bring a better experience to Yan Jiecheng!

Li Ming's resentment for not being able to beat Yan Jiecheng today instantly dissipated. Sometimes physical attacks are far less despairing than magical attacks!

If Li Ming can operate properly this time, then he can only say that the beasts in the courtyard are blessed! Very blessed!

Chapter 247 Food

"System, open the panel."

According to his bedtime routine, Comrade Li Ming once again opened his personal panel to observe and see if there was any inspiration he could absorb. After all, there was no such thing as too many ways to deal with the group of beasts in the courtyard.

"Five more times left, and the tenth consecutive draw is just around the corner. After beating Yan Jiecheng twice, it will basically be done."

Li Ming said with satisfaction.

. . . . . .

Time flies. It has been a few days since Yan Jiecheng attacked the Li family's old hen. Tomorrow is another day off, and Li Ming deliberately put aside the matter of Zhou Tieniu buying food.

It's not that Li Ming has a bad heart, but no one will cherish something that is too easy to get. Nowadays, food is a very rare commodity, so it should be stretched when necessary.

Early in the morning, Li Ming did not go to the steel rolling mill, but ran to the police station instead. He felt very comfortable strolling along the way.

Compared with the people around him who are in a hurry to go to work, Li Ming's life is pretty good.

"Brother Zhou!"

Before Li Ming reached the door of the police station, he saw Zhou Tieniu, who looked like he had just arrived at work.

Zhou Tieniu, who was just about to report to the police station, almost jumped up when he heard Li Ming's voice. God knows how Zhou Tieniu had been waiting for news these days.

It's like being devastated, mainly because he just boasted a little at home and never came to terms with it. It's really embarrassing for a man like us in this city to save face!

Zhou Tieniu walked quickly towards Li Ming and said, "Mingzi, I finally saw you. You order one first. I'll go in and order a cigarette and come out right away."

After saying that, he threw a cigarette to Li Ming and hurried to a large courtyard where the police station was located. Li Ming didn't care. He calmly lit a cigarette and started puffing smoke.

. . . . . .

Less than ten minutes later, Zhou Tieniu appeared in Li Ming's sight again.

"Brother, you must have good news."

Zhou Tieniu patted Li Ming's shoulder happily and said, there is no time to be reserved at this moment, food is the most important thing.

Old Zhou had prepared the money early, a full 80 yuan! It was equivalent to nearly four months' salary for an ordinary worker in the steel mill. If this money was converted into food, it would definitely last until the second half of this year!

Li Ming nodded, and seeing Zhou Tieniu's anxious look, he knew that this time it was worth it! That's right, he couldn't let people feel that it was easy for him, Li Ming, to get food, that would be bad!

If you don't get the favor by then, who knows what other troubles may arise!

"I also ran several times. Look, I just received the letter last night. I'm sorry to have kept Brother Zhou waiting for a long time."

Li Ming said with an apologetic look on his face, "As for whether there is any real apology in it? Of course not!"

"Well, it's nothing. I should thank you. It's not easy to get some food these days."

You see, Comrade Zhou Tieniu is very knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

"Mingzi, how much can you get?"

Comrade Zhou Tieniu's anxiety was written all over his face. He had no choice but to be anxious, as it concerned their family's food rations and his reputation as the head of the family.

"30 yuan of coarse grains, 20 yuan of fine grains, and 20 yuan of raw meat, alternating between fat and lean."

Li Ming didn't say much and directly reported the quantity he had thought of long ago. It was not a small amount. The current black market price of coarse grains was 2.5 cents per pound, which might not be available. The price of fine grains went directly to 30 cents. As for meat, boneless and with skin, you can't be picky, it's 2 yuan per pound!

The anxiety on Zhou Tieniu's face turned into joy. How anxious he was just now, how happy he was now!

"Okay, brother Mingzi, I want all of these!"

Although he prepared 80 yuan, and these did not amount to 80 yuan, but yuan was really enough!

The total weight of coarse grains and fine grains is more than 100 kilograms, which is really a large amount. Even if their family of six eats it, it will take a long time.

"Okay, Brother Zhou, tell me where your home is and someone will deliver it to you tomorrow night. I'll be there by then and we can settle the payment then."

Li Ming said with a smile.

"No problem, just come to XXXXXX when the time comes. Let alone the middle of the night, I, your brother, can stay up all night! For people in our line of work, staying up late is commonplace."

Zhou Tieniu patted his chest and agreed. As for Li Ming going with him, Zhou Tieniu had no objection at all. It would be best to have an acquaintance, and then both sides would feel at ease.

Don't mention that the black market is being strictly checked now. The problem is that Zhou Tieniu didn't buy it on the black market, right? Who doesn't worry about food these days?

Everyone has his own way, and Zhou Tieniu would not be so foolish as to cut off his own future lifeline.

"Okay then. I'll go back to the steel mill to work. See you tomorrow night."

"See you tomorrow night."

Li Ming was in a good mood after closing a deal. This was free money! The grain in his breeding space was piled high. If this deal was closed, Li Ming would get the lion's share, and the others would get a smaller share. This money could cover two months' salary for Li Ming.

Office of Section 3, Purchasing Department of Steel Rolling Mill.

Many salted fish have become accustomed to the late operation. They all come quite late. Who doesn't have something to do? Besides, they don't have much to do in Sangu. They just come in once a day.

Didn’t you see that the section chief was still sleeping soundly on the table?

After saying hello to this group of lovely lazy colleagues, Li Ming joined them in discussing gossip and started wasting time.

Otherwise, there's nothing much to do, just some gossip.

"Do you know Lao Liu from the fitter workshop?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

"Hey, his son fell in love with a half-open door girl and insisted on marrying her. Old Liu was so angry that he broke his son's legs!"

"Wow! So exciting?"

"That's not true. Old Liu's face was livid when he was at work today. Not many people know about this yet!"

"Then how do you know that?"

Li Mingna was surprised.

Zhou Tian rolled his eyes. "I'm a frequent visitor to the Eight Great Hutongs. Your brother knows everything about this!"

Well, I know this guy's source of information is a bit tainted! But Li Ming didn't expect these colleagues to know any gossip other than tainted information!

After all, this is the hobby of these four brothers, so it is normal for them to know some sexy gossip!

Chapter 248 Stewed Chicken

Of course, you can't expect them to do serious work. Apart from going to the countryside to purchase, what they are best at is exploring the Yin and Yang Avenue.

Li Ming also knew that these purchasers were not the most outrageous. The most outrageous one was the truck driver of the steel rolling mill. My goodness, that guy was the king of cannons from all over the world!

A few people were discussing meaningless gossip, and time passed by very quickly!

It may also be because tomorrow is a day off, which is equivalent to Friday in later generations. Time always passes quickly!
