The strong fisherman in the courtyard

[Number of fishing reward draws*2, in view of the host beating up He Yuzhu and the Jia family, and successfully defending his family and getting compensation, special rewards include Bajiquan perfect proficiency*1, Dahei Shi*20, and He Yuzhu's recent information*1. ]

"Hey, why has Brother Tongzi become an information dealer recently? What does Brother Tongzi's information mean? The death date of Jia Dongxu, the "cuckold king", is fine, but what about this stupid Zhu?"

[Ding, this reward is produced after the system upgrade, the purpose is to enrich the reward pool and help the host better deal with the beasts. ]

'So does this mean that from what I can see, I can know some important things that will happen to He Yuzhu in the near future? "

[Ding, that’s right.]

Chapter 136 "Allies"

"That's quite interesting, isn't this just another cheat?"

Li Ming was happy. As long as the beasts were not doing well, he, Li Ming, would be happy! Especially the Jia family, the Yi family, and Sha Zhu. As long as they were not doing well, he, Li Ming, could live his life with peace of mind!

"System, open the panel. Let me see how many I have saved."

【Host】: Li Ming

[Skills Possessing]: Pistol mastery (minor success), Bajiquan (perfect), fishing (great success), weak point attack (language-oriented), locust stone throwing technique (great success), Sichuan cuisine (minor success).

[Number of draws]: 9

[Physique Template]: Li Yuanba [Development Progress 53%]

[System Items]: 5 one-click mission completion cards, 1 recent intelligence on He Yuzhu, 1860 Colt m1 revolver, 0.44 box of 5-inch black powder bullets, gun license, small yellow croakers, locust stone production line, disguise mask, and voice-changing button.

"Not bad, not bad. As long as the beasts work harder, my ten-draw streak can begin."

Li Ming stroked his chin and looked at the number of lottery draws in front of him, which had accumulated to 9 times.

"Oh, brother Tongzi, give me the information about He Yuzhu, so I can take a look first!"

[Ding, He Yuzhu will be going on a blind date soon, and Yi Zhonghai is the matchmaker.]

[Ding, He Yuzhu is going to have blind dates with three girls in the future. According to He Yuzhu's description in the original plot, they should be the three second aunts of Zhu Bajie.]

[Ding, the host can then play freely. 】

"Hiss~~~"

Li Ming took a deep breath and said, "I'm not saying that these three Zhu Bajie's second aunt He Yuzhu would be interested in each other?"

"Didn't I remember that Shazhu's blind date was supposed to start after the original plot? Oh my god, now the plot has been advanced?"

Li Ming then looked at the system prompt again. Since Yi Zhonghai was the matchmaker, it meant that there was a great possibility that the old bastard would use dirty tricks and even force himself on her!

"No, if Yi Zhonghai forces himself on He Yuzhu, He Yuzhu will be married and no longer be a bachelor. We can't let this bastard have a happy ending!"

Li Ming pondered for a while, "It seems that I have to rely on my allies in the backyard for this matter. Brother Damao, it depends on you."

Anyway, Xu Damao didn't know that He Yuzhu was going on a blind date, and he didn't know that He Yuzhu's blind date was Zhu Bajie's second aunt. All he needed to do was to reveal the matter of He Yuzhu's blind date to Xu Damao in advance, and the rest was just waiting and watching!

Comrade Li Ming, who had thought of a solution, suddenly felt relieved. What? You said this is not good for He Yuzhu?

Damn it! When the bastard offended the Li family, he never thought of doing anything bad to the Li family. Li Ming also tried his best to make He Yuzhu's ending closer to the original ending. This is also for He Yuzhu's own good.

. . . . . .

The next day.

Li Ming woke up to the smell of breakfast. After getting up and washing up, he sat in the small living room and happily finished his breakfast.

"Son, I'm going to take your sister to the department store to buy something. Do you want to go?"

Mother Li looked at her good son and asked.

Li Ming shook his head. "I won't go today. I have something else to do!"

Before Li Ming finished speaking, his father came over from the side, licking his face and saying, "Wife, I'll go, I'll go!"

"It's been a while since I went out for a proper walk. After I'm done, I'm still thinking about whether there's anything I want to buy!"

Wu Fang is already familiar with Lao Li's shameless actions. "You paid for your own things?"

Comrade Li Weiguo nodded excitedly. By the time he realized what was happening, his mother had already stretched out her hand. "It's almost the New Year. I don't want much from your little treasury. You hand over one third of it, and you can use the rest as you wish!"

When Li Ming saw this scene, he burst out laughing. Old Li had never gotten away with playing tricks on Comrade Wu Fang!

Lao Li touched his head awkwardly, "Wife, are you serious?"

"Nonsense, I'm looking after two children, how can I go back on my word?"

Old Li gritted his teeth, made up his mind, turned around and went to his sister Li Rui's bedroom. He rummaged around in there for a long time before finally taking out the money.

For Comrade Li Weiguo, it is a rare opportunity to launder his own slush fund. If he fails to launder it, no matter how much money there is in the slush fund, he cannot spend it openly. He might as well take a chance!

"Wife, this is twenty. I'm handing it over."

Comrade Li Weiguo tremblingly handed over two big black tens to Li's mother, then stared at Comrade Wu Fang with expectant eyes.

Only after the head of the family nodded in agreement did Mr. Li breathe a sigh of relief, sit down in his chair and continue to eat breakfast.

"Okay then, take me there later!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely take you with me. I'm counting on you to come back with the things you bought."

Father Li patted his chest and said, "No problem, leave it to me!"

After finishing breakfast, Li Rui looked at her mother who had gone to the kitchen, and then added casually, "Dad, I remember it wasn't long ago that Mom took away your piggy bank last time! How do you save money so quickly?"

Li Weiguo's face darkened, "Shut up, I'll buy you some snacks later!"

"Thank you dad!"

The two completed a deal right under Li Ming's nose.

Father Li looked at his eldest son anxiously, "Son, is there anything you want to buy? Daddy will buy it for you."

"No need for that. I don't need anything. You can keep the money and buy something for yourself." Li Ming looked at his uneasy father with amusement. He was afraid that he, Li Ming, would scrape off another layer of oil.

Turning his head to look at the kitchen, his mother had not come out yet. Li Ming secretly took out two big black tens from the space and quietly handed them to his old father under the table.

Comrade Lao Li was startled. He touched the money under the table with his big hands and determined by the feel that they were two big black tens. His mood immediately improved.

Subconsciously, I said, "Tsk tsk, my eldest son is still the best!"

After the Li family finished breakfast, Li's father and mother took Li Rui out. Before leaving, Li's mother told Li Ming, "Mingzi, we won't be back at noon. You can make something to eat by yourself."

"Okay, you guys can go out and have fun without worry, I can just clean up a little bit at noon."

Li Ming watched the three people leave the courtyard, smiled and shook his head, "I still have to deliver the message to my ally Comrade Xu Damao. Such valuable information can definitely be exchanged for a meal from Brother Damao!"

Li Ming lit a cigarette for himself and staggered towards the backyard.

Chapter 137: Successful Free Meal

backyard.

As soon as Li Ming came in, he saw Xu Damao squatting in front of the house, basking in the sun and smoking a cigarette happily.

Xu Damao also looked up and saw Li Ming at a glance, "Wow! Mingzi is here! Come quickly, let's chat for a while!"

"Hey, Brother Damao, don't tell me, I really came here to see you today,"

Xu Damao was amused. "Brother, let's not talk about anything else. Your actions last night have refreshed my understanding."

Xu Damao was so excited that he stood up and said, "Brother, the skill you used to throw people last night was the first time I've seen that in all my life!"

"That's really awesome!" Xu Damao gave Li Ming a thumbs up. Looking at Xu Damao's happy expression, people who didn't know him would have thought that he, Xu Damao, carried the whole game by himself last night.

Li Ming was also happy to be praised for a while. Not only did he get to bask in the sun, but others also always said nice things to him. Who wouldn't be happy about that?

After Xu Damao finished praising him, Li Ming smiled and handed a cigarette to Xu Damao, "Brother Damao, I came to see you today for something serious!"

Xu Damao took the cigarette and waved his hand, "Well, brother, if you have any problem, just tell me. I will be there to help you if I can!"

Li Ming looked around the backyard and saw no one was paying attention. He then leaned over to Xu Damao and whispered, "Brother Damao, I went out for a walk last night to help digest my food. I passed by Sha Zhu's house and heard that old man Yi Zhonghai wanted to introduce a blind date to He Yuzhu."

"Blind date?" Xu Damao also knew that this matter could not be said out loud, so he confirmed in a low voice.

Li Ming nodded, "That's right, I heard you right, brother. If you want to beat up that idiot, I can do it with my own hands, needless to say."

After a pause, Li Ming continued, "As for other things, I really can't be sure, but it's obvious. I don't want to see He Yuzhu succeed in the blind date, so today I'm here to ask you for advice, Brother Damao!"

Compliments are free, Li Ming just regarded it as Xu Damao's compliment to him again. It doesn't matter, as long as Xu Damao can take the bait and ruin He Yuzhu's blind date, then everything will be fine!

It would be even better if we could smear the faces of people like Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.

After listening to Li Ming's words, Xu Damao nodded subconsciously. That's right! Xu Damao thought he was the best in the Siheyuan when it came to using his brain!

In addition, neither of them wanted He Yuzhu to have any good outcome, and Xu Damao thought that no one could handle this matter except him!

"Brother, do you know the exact time?"

"I really don't know. Old Yi Zhonghai didn't tell me either." Li Ming shook his head. The system didn't say the specific time, and he was helpless.

Xu Damao didn't mind at all. He didn't have to go to work anyway, so he had plenty of time to wait!

Xu Damao shook his head. "It's not a big deal. At most I can just watch her every day. Anyway, blind dates must come to our courtyard."

Li Ming nodded in agreement.

"Okay, brother, let your brother Damao handle this matter!"

"Just like we agreed, I'll leave this to you, and leave the rest to you, Brother Damao. No matter what I say, I'll show you my skills this time!"

In order to show off in front of his younger brother, Xu Damao made a big promise, not to mention that this good opportunity was brought to him by Li Ming.

This time he has to show off his skills no matter what he says. He can't let Li Ming take the lead alone!

This is exactly what Li Ming wanted. As long as Xu Damao agreed, the matter would basically be settled.

Putting aside other things, in the original plot Xu Damao couldn't do anything, but when it comes to the person who messed up He Yuzhu's marriage, then he, Xu Damao, ranks second, and no one dares to say he is first!

"Okay, Brother Damao, I'll leave this matter to you. If you need any help from me, just let me know!"

Xu Damao shook his head and laughed, "If your brother Damao still needs your help for such a small matter, then I have lived in vain, right?"

"Don't worry about anything, just be nice!"

"Okay, I'll wait and see. If He Yuzhu dares to make a move on you, don't worry, I'll be the first one to throw him into the corner!"

"Hey, that'll do."

The two chatted for a while, and it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.

"Oh, it's past ten o'clock, Brother Damao. There's no one at home. I have to go back and make myself a meal." Li Ming looked at his watch and said goodbye to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was immediately displeased when he heard this. "Well, what can I say? You told your brother such a good thing this morning, and it just so happens that no one in your family is going to take care of your meals. As your brother, can I let you go back and have a meal?"

"That's impossible. Wait outside for a while. I'll take you to eat dumplings with delicious fillings!" Xu Damao waved his hand with an expression that did not allow for refusal.

"That's perfect. I'm hungry too. My brother is treating us today. Let's go have a meal together! Wait for me!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he went straight into the house. Li Ming guessed that he was going to report to Xu Fugui and ask for some money on the way.

Nowadays, there are many famous dumpling restaurants in old Beijing. It seems that the issue of whether there is enough food or not is not a problem for these dumpling restaurants.

Besides, it's not the three years yet, is it? Dumpling fillings include pork, mutton, beef, vegetables, and even some seafood fillings. In addition, restaurants also provide a variety of dumpling side dishes, such as vinegar, soy sauce, chili oil, etc., to increase the taste and flavor of dumplings.

In a word, everything you can think of and what you can’t think of is here!

Among them, the Xian Lao Man is the most famous. There are 5 stores in the whole city, at Bell and Drum Tower, Andingmen, Dongsi, Kung Pao Chicken, Zhongguancun, and one is a vegetarian restaurant that only sells dumplings with vegetarian fillings.

The environment of Xianlaoman is sometimes like a farmer's market, crowded and noisy, but it can't stop the endless stream of guests, including old Beijingers and young people.

The dumplings with full fillings are the main specialty. The dumplings alone fill up two pages of paper. The dumplings here can be fried or boiled, with thin skin and large fillings. The soup overflows with one bite, giving you a full sense of satisfaction.

If Xu Damao can take Li Ming to Xianlaoman for a meal today, he will have to spend some money.

Less than five minutes later, Xu Damao came out of the house with a smile on his face, patted his pockets and said, "Let's go to Xian Lao Man's for a good meal today!"

Chapter 138 Xu Damao, who lacks great virtue

When the two passed by the front yard, they saw He Yuzhu again, with a shy face, approaching Qin Huairu to wash clothes and chat.

It is absolutely impossible for He Yuzhu to wash clothes. It can only be that He Yuzhu is greedy for Qin Huairu's body again.

The two of them quietly walked from the middle courtyard to the corridor of the front yard. Xu Damao seemed to remember something and came close to Li Ming, "Mingzi, wait for a moment, I'll go give Sha Zhu some ingredients!"

Before Li Ming could react, Xu Damao had already rushed to the middle courtyard and yelled in the direction of the Jia family, "Auntie Jia! Shazhu is getting close to Sister Qin again!"
