How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 338: Eating stinky tofu and getting a bunch of ghosts

"Okay, Mr. Liu, I'll be back as soon as possible." Li Le agreed and left with a few antiques.

Twenty minutes later, Li Le returned to Liulichang again and walked into the shop that Mr. Liu mentioned, which specialized in buying and selling calligraphy and paintings.

"Master Liu!" Li Le greeted him after coming in.

"Yeah!" Grandpa Liu nodded, and then went on to look at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

Li Le also looked with Master Liu, and found that there was basically no one he knew about the calligraphy and paintings above.

"Li Le, you can buy this painting." Grandpa Liu said, pointing to a painting.

"Uh!" Li Le was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master Liu, who is Gu Kaizhi?"

Li Le really didn't know who this person was, and had never even heard of him.

Yes, the painting was signed by Gu Kaizhi, a man whose name Li Le had never even heard of.

But since Master Liu asked him to buy it, there must be some reason that he doesn't know.

And the price is not expensive, only eight million, which is the price of a fine antique.

Hearing Li Le's words, Master Liu looked at him speechlessly, as if to say, you kid is really uneducated.

"Just buy it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Oh! Can't I buy it?"

Li Le had no way to deal with Master Liu's bad temper.

Li Le asked the waiter to take the painting down and bring it to the counter first so that they could pay together later.

"I want this one too." Grandpa Liu pointed at the painting on the wall.

Li Le hurried over to take a look and saw another unknown painter, Yan Liben.

"Okay, Mr. Liu." Li Le agreed, called the waiter over again, and took the painting.

Just as the clerk collected the paintings, Master Liu pointed to another painting and said, "There's also this one."

"Okay, Mr. Liu." This time, Li Le didn't even bother to look at who it belonged to and agreed directly.

When the waiter went to collect it, Li Le saw the signature on it: Zhang Zerui. Who is this?

Li Le was a little speechless. Couldn't Mr. Liu find some calligraphy and paintings by famous artists?
For example, Tang Bohu, Su Dongpo, Wu Daozi, Wang Wei and so on.

Of course, it is also possible that Li Le is ignorant and these people are very famous, but he has never heard of them.

Anyway, no matter what! He bought whatever Master Liu asked him to buy.

It seems that after returning to the real world, he will have to make up for his knowledge of calligraphy and painting.

At the very least, he should take a look at all the famous modern and ancient painters to see who they are. Don't be like today, when he didn't know any of the people chosen by Mr. Liu.

When Li Le came out of the calligraphy and painting shop, he was holding six paintings in his hands, but he didn't know the artists of any of them.

It's a pity that Li Le didn't come across paintings by Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi, Zhang Daqian or Li Keran, which made him feel a little regretful.

But it doesn't matter, let's go buy antiques! Li Le still likes antiques.

At the end of the day, Li Le had gained a lot. Although he did not buy any national treasures or rare gems, he still bought several treasures.

As for the fine products, he bought dozens of them and now they are all stored in Li Le’s space.

The weather was not good! It snowed heavily that night, so we had to cancel our planned trip to Liulichang the next day.

Li Le doesn't care. He can go out no matter how heavy the snow is, but Master Liu can't!

So Li Le could only stay at home.

To be honest, it’s really boring to stay at home these days, unlike the real world.

Even if you don’t go out, you can watch TV or check your phone to kill time.

In this era, all we can do is stare at each other and play poker at best.

But this thing is fine to play for one or two days, but it’s meaningless if you play it every day.

"Ma Feng, go get some firewood and light a brazier." Li Le said boredly.

"Uh! Brother, there is heating in the room, why are you burning the brazier?" Ma Feng asked in confusion.

"Who told you to burn it in the house? Put it outside, burn some charcoal and bury some sweet potatoes inside. I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes."

"It turns out to be roasted sweet potatoes! I'll go right away, bro."

In fact, it is best to roast sweet potatoes for breakfast. After cooking, there is freshly burned wood ash in the stove, and there is still fire. Bury the sweet potatoes in it, and they will be cooked in no time.

But that was just after I finished cooking. Now it has been more than an hour since I finished eating, and the stove is probably not even warm anymore.

Ma Feng went to get firewood, Niu Shuanzhu went to get lively food, and Gousheng went to the vegetable cellar to get sweet potatoes. A few minutes later, the brazier was burning in the yard.

After about twenty minutes, a pot of red charcoal fire was brought into the house.

Li Le went over, dug a hole in the middle, put the sweet potatoes in, covered it, and left it aside.

We sat down to drink tea and chat. Half an hour passed quickly and the charcoal fire in the brazier was almost extinguished.

Li Le used a pair of tongs to dig away the ashes, revealing several large sweet potatoes.

"Come on, one person at a time."

Li Le first handed them to Zhao Yanran and Zhao Yanhan, then took one for himself. As for Ma Feng and the others, they had to get them themselves.

"Brother, you know what, this roasted sweet potato is really delicious." Li Daila took a bite and said to Li Le.

Li Le rolled his eyes at him.

It's okay to eat this thing once or twice, but if you eat it every day, within a few days, you probably won't say it tastes good anymore.

If you keep eating it, it will really make you vomit. But in a few years, even if you want to eat this thing every day, you won’t be able to do so.

In the afternoon, Li Le really couldn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Zhao Yanran and went out alone.

When I got out onto the street, there was really no one there!

At this time, those who should go to work have already gone to work, so why would anyone who doesn’t want to go out?
Only he couldn't stay there. I don't know how many people wanted to just lie in bed and not go anywhere.

Li Le also wore thick clothes when going out in such weather, but he didn't need them at all.

But what should I wear? What will others think if I wear spring or autumn clothes in such a cold day?

So Li Le had no choice but to go out wearing heavy clothes like everyone else.

"Damn it, there's nowhere to play." Li Le muttered.

Li Le didn't know where to go. He just wanted to go out for a walk and didn't need to have a destination.

Before he knew it, Li Le arrived at the front gate and Dazhalan.

When Li Le saw Dazhalan, his eyes lit up and he prepared to go in and see if the stinky tofu stall was open today.

You know what, Li Le was pretty lucky, the stinky tofu stall was actually open.

The stinky tofu of Dashilan is very famous, not to mention now, even in later generations.

"Give me a large portion of stinky tofu."

"okay!"

In this era, when eating stinky tofu, there were no disposable bowls like in later generations. It was the same as in restaurants.

A large portion is a large bowl, and a small portion is a small bowl.

Soon a bowl of fragrant stinky tofu was placed in front of Li Le.

Li Le couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth, and his mouth was immediately filled with fragrance.

Li Le likes this, even in the real world, when he has nothing to do, Li Le will buy some. But the taste in the real world is not as authentic as here, and there are even a lot of fake stinky tofu.

After enjoying a bowl of stinky tofu, Li Le was satisfied and ready to go back.

Not long after walking, Li Le spotted a sneaky person.

This person not only wrapped himself up tightly, but in such weather, it was nothing to wrap himself up tightly.

But this man kept looking back every few steps, as if he was afraid that others didn't know he was being followed.

Li Le quickly hid himself so that the other party would not discover him.

Li Le's five senses are very strong, at least several times stronger than those of ordinary people.

This thing is not as simple as one plus one equals two. This multiple is geometric.

In an icy and snowy environment, people's vision has blind spots, especially after looking for a long time.

The other party may not have seen Li Le yet, but Li Le had already seen him.

So not long after Li Le hid, the man ran into an alley.

Just when Li Le was about to follow, another person came over, who looked similar to the previous one.

The difference is that this person is better at disguising himself than the previous one.

Not only did he not look back every few steps, he seemed like he was taking a walk, but he seemed to have forgotten that it was so cold and who would go out for a walk.

I guess there’s no other Li Le like him in the entire imperial capital.

The reason why Li Le is like this is that he is immune to cold and heat, and he doesn't feel cold at all when he goes out.

Otherwise, he would probably stay in the house like everyone else.

Sure enough, this person, like the previous one, also went into the alley.

Afraid that someone else would come, Li Le did not move and just hid in this corner.

After staying there for more than twenty minutes and finding that no one came, Li Le walked out and entered the alley.

Li Le was not worried about not being able to find the person. How could there be no traces in the snow and ice?

There were a total of six families in this alley. Li Le walked and looked around, and soon found several footprints in front of the door of a family.

Moreover, these several footprints were left not long ago.

You have to know that the reason why the imperial capital is cold in winter is mainly because of the strong wind. When the wind blows on your face, it feels like a knife cutting you.

If the footprints are left for a little longer, they will be covered by the snow, even if it is not snowing.

Because the wind will blow up the snow and cover some traces.

Only footprints that have been left recently can be seen.

Li Le put his ear against the door and listened. If it were an ordinary person, he probably wouldn't be able to hear anything.

But Li Le is not an ordinary person! He heard that there were several people inside, and they seemed to be discussing something.

Because of the strong wind, the voices of the people inside were very low, and Li Le could only hear them intermittently.

What to install, what to destroy and so on.

Li Le immediately felt something was wrong. These guys were definitely not good people.

Li Le really wanted to rush in, but after thinking it over, he didn't take any action.

It is daytime now and the other party's vision is not affected. Moreover, there are several people in the room. If the other party has a gun, he will be in danger.

Li Le looked around and saw a small pile of firewood.

Because this is the innermost part of the alley, even if a pile of firewood is placed outside, it will not block other people's way.

Li Le walked to the pile of firewood and hid there. After hiding, Li Le began to prick up his ears to listen for any movement.

He couldn't go in rashly, so he just waited here. His family didn't believe that these people wouldn't come out.

When they came out, Li Le rushed forward and caught them off guard.

With Li Le's skills, if he put all his effort into it, he could end the battle in a few seconds, without giving the opponent any chance to react.

Of course, there is also a prerequisite here, that is, all the other party members come out of the house and open the door.

Even if one person doesn't come out, by the time he has dealt with the people outside, Li Le will also be in danger if the people in the house have guns.

But it's just a danger. With Li Le's superhuman five senses, he should be able to avoid some of the bullets.

An hour passed quickly. If Li Le had not been immune to cold or heat, he would have been frozen to death by now.

At this time, there was finally movement in the yard, and Li Le heard the door opening.

But it's not the main door, but the door of the room.

Li Le hurriedly came out from the pile of firewood and hid on the right side of the gate.

The footsteps in the yard slowly approached the gate.

Sure enough, the door soon opened from the inside.

Just as the door opened, Li Le came out. Yes, he came out.

As soon as one of them showed his head, Li Le punched him.

There was a loud "bang" and the man flew backwards, knocking down the two people behind him.

Li Le followed him in and knocked down the three people who were still standing but already panicked.

He walked up to the two people who had been knocked down and had not yet gotten up, and punched each of them.

Because Li Le already knew that there was no one in the room. There were only six people here, and they were all here now.

Li Leke didn't hold back! These six people won't wake up for a while.

Li Le turned around and closed the door, then carried the two into the house, one in each hand.

In three trips, they carried all six people into the house and closed the door from the inside.

Li Le took a look at the six people, took out a few ropes from the space, and tied them up tightly.

Not to mention that they can't wake up now, even if they woke up it would be useless. They were tied up by Li Le and it would be impossible to untie them.

Because Li Le used the same kind of binding method used by sailors in later generations. It would have been fine if he didn't struggle, but the more he struggled, the tighter it became.

After tying them up, Li Le searched these people and soon found something.

Li Le opened it and took a look. It looked like a picture, but he couldn't tell what it was.

And all six people had the same problem. Li Le opened them all and found that all six pictures were different.

"Could it be one?" Li Le said to himself.

Then I put the six pictures together, and it turned out to be a complete drawing.

Putting them together, Li Le saw that this was a complete factory layout.

From the gate to various workshops, including office buildings, boiler rooms, canteens, warehouses, and even toilets.

"Damn it, they actually want to cause trouble." Li Le scratched his head.

This put him in a difficult position because he didn't know where these people lived!

These people must have dangerous goods at home, otherwise they wouldn't just leave with the blueprints.

If Li Le killed them, the dangerous goods would still be there and danger could occur at any time.
