How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 349: Supplies Summary, the Heavy Eight Immortals Table
Li Le thought for a moment and said, "Well, tomorrow you can drive all the cars in the yard over and park them in front of the store."

Hearing what Li Le said, Nie Weiwei frowned and asked, "Why drive the car over there?"

"Don't worry about it. Just listen to me. I think business will pick up soon."

"Is this true? Will business improve if we just drive the car over there?" Nie Weiwei was a little unconvinced.

At this time, Li Qingcheng said: "It should be fine."

"Uh! Sister Qingcheng, will business really improve if we drive the car over there?"

"Yes."

"Why?" Nie Weiwei asked.

"It's attractive! Especially some internet celebrities. If they know that there are these cars parked in front of your store, they will come over quickly and take pictures and check in. What do you think will happen?"

After Li Qingcheng finished speaking, Nie Weiwei's eyes lit up. She was not stupid and quickly understood what Li Qingcheng meant.

Why is the store's business not good? It's because there are not many people coming. If there are more people, even if most of them don't buy, but only a small part of them do, then the business will be better.

"Okay, I'll drive over there every morning." Nie Weiwei said excitedly.

"Leave Babos to me, I want to drive it again."

"understood."

Li Le thought about it and said, "I'm going out tonight and may be back tomorrow night. Don't worry about me. You can go wherever you want to play."

"Ok."

After dinner, Li Le went back to the west room early and slept alone.

Before eleven o'clock at night, Li Le came to the east room and moved all the antiques he brought back last time into the east wing.

As soon as we finished moving, it was time to travel through time.

A moment of trance.

Li Le arrived in 1952.

In fact, at this time, some problems had already been exposed, that is, the reduction of food.

It’s just that many people don’t care about it. Besides, there are only two seasons of grain every year.

The reduction in food may be due to a poor harvest this season, which has not been noticed at all. It is a general reduction.

Generally speaking, people are lazy, and this is a problem that can arise from equal distribution.

The same land, the same good weather, why is the grain output getting less and less?

In fact, some people are just being cunning and lazy. They think it doesn't matter how much work they do, so why bother doing it?

Men get ten work points and women get eight work points. As long as you go to work, your points will be recorded.

This is true even if you work a whole day, which brings out the laziness in some people.

As a result, the amount of food is becoming less and less. The same acre of land used to produce 300 kilograms, but now it can only produce 280 or 260 kilograms.

This is already good. In two years, we won’t be able to fight even this many people, and the country will have to implement planned supply, that is, food coupons.

There is no way. If the supply is not planned, many people may not have enough food to eat.

The year 1952 can be said to be the last year when ordinary people could have fun.

At this time, Li Le had almost prepared everything he needed.

At least for the next twenty years, he can live comfortably, to put it bluntly, he won't have to worry about food and clothing.

Li Le’s space is already full, except for a one cubic meter space reserved for storing things, the rest is full.

Twenty tons of pork, five tons of beef, five tons of mutton, five thousand white-feathered chickens, and ten tons of eggs.

In addition, there is one ton of various teas, two tons of white sugar, two tons of brown sugar, and one ton of White Rabbit milk candy.

Li Le wanted to stock up on some White Rabbit milk candies, but they were hard to find, or even impossible to find.

Yes, White Rabbit Milk Candy is the predecessor of Big White Rabbit Milk Candy. Before 1950, White Rabbit Milk Candy was not called this name, but was called ABC Mickey Mouse Candy.

It was nationalized in 1950. Because Mickey Mouse was suspected of being a Westernized product, the name was changed to White Rabbit Milk Candy. It was not until 1959, when it was presented as a gift for the 10th anniversary, that it was called Big White Rabbit Milk Candy.

After two years, he was able to buy one ton, which showed Li Le's ability. You know, now White Rabbit Milk Candy only produces 800 kilograms a day!

And these 800 kilograms are still supplied to the whole country. There may be more in the imperial capital, but how much more?

It took two years to get one ton, which is less than three pounds a day.

And it wasn't just Li Le who bought this, but almost the whole family went out.

But the White Rabbit Toffees at this time were all genuine! Pour boiling water into an enamel pot, put a few pieces of White Rabbit Toffees in, and it would be like a pot of milk.

It not only has a strong milky flavor, but also has a light sweetness. It can be seen from here that this is real milk candy.

This is also the reason why Li Le hoards it.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also some green vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, garlic sprouts, onions, etc.

But it’s not much, less than one ton in total, and it is mainly saved for consumption in winter.

After all, even if we use coupons in the future, vegetables can still be bought and are not as scarce as grain.

As for the remaining space, of course it is for food, half rice and half flour.

This only refers to the space. The cellar is almost full as well. It will be full in another four or five months.

You know, there is a lot more food in the cellar than in the space! There is no other way, because the space also needs to store other things.

Some things that are more likely to spoil, such as meat, must be placed in a space.

After coming out of the east room, Li Le went straight back to the bedroom and lay between Zhao Yanran and her sister.

Because that's how I lay when I rested last night.

Silent all night.

Li Le woke up early in the morning, but Zhao Yanran and her sister were no longer in the bed.

Needless to say, the two of them must have gotten up and gone to cook.

Li Le stretched and got up from the bed. When he was not going out, he only wore a set of autumn clothes, a jacket and long pants.

Yes, it is already February, and fortunately the snowy season has passed. Although it may still snow in the future, it will be much less.

In other words, Li Le can go out, and he goes out on a tricycle.

When Li Le came to the living room, Ma Feng, Niu Shuanzhui and Gou Sheng were already there.

As for Li Daila, he must be making fire in the kitchen because that is his job.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

When the three people saw Li Le coming in, they quickly stood up and shouted.

"Well! Everyone sit down." Li Le raised his hand and pressed it down and said.

After Li Le sat down, Ma Feng asked, "Brother, what tasks do you have for us today?"

"Indeed, but today's task is simple. In addition to buying food, you also need to see where there are bacon and ham for sale. It would be best if you could buy more."

Bacon and ham can be stored for a long time, especially ham, which can be stored for ten or eight years without any problem.

And the longer it is stored, the better. Although there is a lot of grain in the cellar, don't forget that there is still a lot of space.

Especially in the middle of the rows of beams, there is absolutely no problem tying some ropes and hanging some bacon and ham.

"Okay big brother, we'll keep an eye on it."

"Well! If you can't find it, you can ask others. I'm sure someone knows where it's sold."

"yes, Sir."

In fact, Li Le has nothing to lack now, except for the food he has not stored enough, everything else is almost there.

Even the coal is stored enough to last for more than ten years, and this is for burning boilers, or heating.

If you just use the stove to cook, you can spend decades using up the energy.

The room that previously stored grain is now used to store coal. The two rooms are about 60 to 70 square meters in size, and are filled with coal blocks more than one meter high.

A conservative estimate is no more than one hundred tons.

Assuming 90 kilograms of coal are burned a day, and a winter lasts for four months, that would only mean five and a half tons of coal are burned.

Besides, Li Le’s family doesn’t cook with coal, but with firewood. The two rooms to the west of the gate and a lot of open space in the yard are all piled with firewood.

Just these firewoods can be used for cooking for two to three years. Besides, you can get them again later.

At this time, Zhao Yanran came in with a bowl of millet porridge and said, "Stop chatting, go wash up and eat first."

"Okay sister-in-law."

Ma Feng and the other three quickly stood up and ran out.

Zhao Yanran came over and hugged Li Le's arm and said, "Brother Le, I plan to buy some cloth this morning and make a few clothes for everyone."

"Okay, but you'd better buy more." Li Le said after thinking for a while.

If Zhao Yanran hadn't said it, he would have really forgotten about it, and Bu would be nervous in the future!

But this thing doesn't need to be placed in a space, just put it in a box, and it will be fine to keep it for ten or eight years.

"Brother Le, why do you need to buy so much cloth?" Zhao Yanran asked in confusion.

She could understand hoarding food and such, after all, Chinese people had the habit of hoarding food, but did they also need to hoard cloth?
"Just listen to me. Buy more cloth. It would be best if you could buy a dozen or twenty pieces to store away."

"Okay then! I'll listen to you. I'll go to the silk shop after dinner."

"Yes! There is also cotton. We should buy more of this too."

"understood."

After explaining things to Zhao Yanran, Li Le also came out of the room and went to wash up first.

When he returned to the house, the food was ready, a bowl of buns and a bowl of eggs.

This made Li Le speechless. He could understand the steamed buns, but how could he eat such a big bowl of eggs?

Li Le sat down, picked up a bun and took a bite, then looked at Zhao Yanran and said, "Why are you cooking so many eggs today?"

"Brother Le, it's cold now. When you go out, each of you should bring a few. When you are hungry, you can eat one to replenish your energy."

Li Le shook his head and asked, "Do you know that you can't eat too many eggs? One to two a day is just right, otherwise you won't be able to absorb them all."

"Ah! This..."

"Okay, don't cook so much next time. Each person only has one egg in the morning. If it's not enough, you can eat something else."

It’s not so bad now, I can still buy eggs, but when the bills are implemented, it will be troublesome to buy eggs.

Moreover, egg coupons are harder to get than meat coupons. You can only get two kilograms of egg coupons right after giving birth.

In an average family, each person only has two taels of eggs per month, which means that a family of five can only buy one pound of eggs in a month.

You know, except for the three difficult years, each person could still get four taels of meat coupons every month!

You can imagine how rare this egg is.

Of course, you can also buy them at the Pigeon Market. Most families are reluctant to eat eggs, so they will take the egg tickets to the Pigeon Market to sell them.

Although Li Le has stockpiled ten tons of eggs in the space, he will not be able to eat them for a few years at his current consumption rate.

"Got it, Lego."

Li Le ate four buns and an egg, and drank a bowl of millet porridge. He was finally full.

After dinner, Li Le rode out on his tricycle.

Of course, I’m going to collect waste!

"Collecting waste,"

"Selling junk?"

"Scrap copper, rotten iron, and toothpaste tubes for sale?"

"Are you selling old books, newspapers, or wine bottles?"

"Old furniture and old clothes for sale?"

Li Le is quite Buddhist about collecting waste. He will accept it if he receives it, and it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t. He is not short of money anyway. He just wants to give himself an identity.

More than half an hour later, Li Le arrived at Zhengyang Gate.

"Collecting junk!"

"Selling broken ones?"

"Hey, scrap collector, do you accept iron?" asked a young man who looked nonchalant.

"Of course."

"How much does it cost per pound?"

Li Le glanced at the young man and said, "Three hundred."

"What? Only 300 yuan per pound. Others charge 1,000 yuan per pound. Yours is too cheap!"

In fact, Li Le didn't want to pay attention to him from the very beginning, because this guy didn't look like someone who wanted to sell junk at all.

"Don't sell it for one thousand per pound. I'll sell it to you for five hundred per pound. I'll sell it to you as much as you want."

Li Le has a pretty good temper, otherwise he would have just left.

"I said, are you collecting junk or am I collecting junk?"

After hearing this, Li Le just rode away on his tricycle. He really didn't want to bother with him anymore.

"You can't leave." Seeing Li Le was about to leave, the young man quickly ran to his tricycle and stopped him.

"What do you want to do?" Li Le asked with a frown.

"I sold you something, why are you leaving?"

"Sorry, I don't want to take your stuff." Li Le pushed the tricycle and prepared to pass by.

The young man stopped Li Le again and said, "If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it! I will sell it to you today."

Hearing the young man's words, Li Le smiled. It was just right that he had nothing to do to adjust his life! Here it comes.

"Do you have to sell it to me?" Li Le asked.

"That's right!"

"Okay, bring the things over here!" Li Le let go of the tricycle and said, hugging his arms.

Then I saw the young man turn around and shout, "Move the things over here."

Then Li Le saw three young men coming out of an alley, and each of them was carrying something.

When Li Le saw clearly what they were moving, he was speechless, because these were three bricks of the city wall.

Yes, it’s the city wall bricks, probably just removed from the city wall.

Li Lele was delighted and asked, "You want to sell this to me?"

"Yes, please weigh these three pieces of iron!" the young man said to Li Le with a smile.

"Are you sure?" Li Le asked again.

"I think you are sick! Of course I am sure, weigh it quickly."

Li Le smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll get the things out."

Li Le came to the back of the tricycle and pulled out a board directly from it.

It is the bamboo board on the cart, which looks quite thick.

At this time, the young man felt something was wrong, but it was too late.

Li Le went over and kicked the young man down, then came to the three men who were moving bricks of the city wall and kicked each of them.

"You! What are you doing?" asked the young man in the lead.

"Snapped!"

Li Le went up and slapped him, saying, "You talk too much nonsense. Get off the wall."

Li Le is not a troublemaker, but he is not afraid of trouble! If it were in the past, he would definitely endure it first and then strike back.

But it’s different now. Li Le is now a person with a certain status.

At this time, the young man in the lead stood up from the ground and quickly ran to the other three guys.

Then he pointed at Li Le and said, "Okay! Boy, you dare to hit me, this time I will not let you leave Zhengyang Gate."

Li Le shook his head and said, "It seems that you didn't take my words to heart!"

"Boy, don't you see who is here? Your words are bullshit."

Li Le curled his lips and said, "Bullshit, right? Okay."

After Li Le finished speaking, he walked over with a bamboo board and started beating them.

"Ow..."

After a burst of ghostly howling, the guys became completely obedient. It seemed like they had never expected that Li Le was such a good fighter!
I usually have trouble with other junk collectors, but this is not the case. They all give me money honestly.

Today we hit a brick wall. No, this is steel!
The young man who took the lead said quickly: "Let us go, we will never dare to do it again."

"It's too late now, you bully the weak and fear the strong."

"You...what do you want to do?"

Li Le pointed to the wall next to him and said, "I don't want to say it again."

The four guys got up from the ground with their teeth bared, then walked obediently to the wall and climbed onto it.

"Stick your butt up for me."

Under Li Le's tyranny, the four guys had no choice but to obey, and quickly pressed their hands against the wall and raised their buttocks.

"Snapped!"

"Ow..."

"Snapped!"

"Ow..."

Every time Li Le hit him, the other party would let out a scream.

After three hits, the young man in the lead collapsed to the ground.

To be honest, it really hurts to be hit by a bamboo stick! And it's not just ordinary money, it can be said to be heart-wrenching.

The fact that he could hold on for three times before falling to the ground showed that this young man was doing OK.

But at this time, it was such a cold day, the young man fell to the ground with sweat all over his forehead.

Of course it wasn't hot, but painful. At this time, if someone pulled his pants open, they would find that it was a bloody mess.

This is no joke. Not to mention how painful it is to be hit with a bamboo stick, it also depends on who hits you!
How heavy is Li Le's hand! You can imagine what will happen if he hits you like this.

After one person was laid down, Li Le walked to the second one.

"Snapped!"

"Ow..."

In just two seconds, he collapsed. And he was not pretending, as you could tell from the cold sweat on his forehead.

"You can't do this! He collapsed after just two hits." Li Le kicked the guy and then walked to the next one.

"I was wrong, don't hit me, I won't dare to do it again."

"Snapped!"

"Ouch..." This time Li Le acted faster. After four consecutive hits, the guy finally collapsed to the ground.

It's not that this guy can last four hits, it's just that Li Le hits faster. Normally, this guy can only last three hits at most, and it's very likely that two hits will be enough.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

After collapsing on the ground, this guy actually cried like a child, so sadly.

Unfortunately, Li Le ignored him and went to the last person.

"No, don't hit me, my family has money, I can give you money."

If it were someone else, he might have agreed, but unfortunately he met Li Le.

Is Li Le short of money? No matter how rich this guy's family is, he can still be richer than me.

So Li Le raised the bamboo board without hesitation and hit him four times quickly. He wanted to hit him a fifth time, but unfortunately this guy was not up to the task and did not persist.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Just at this moment, a woman in her forties came over and looked at Li Le and asked.

"You are……"

"I'm from the Military Control Commission. Why did you hit me?"

Li Le was stunned for a moment, then looked at the old lady.

Aren't all the people in the Military Control Commission military? However, Li Le quickly realized that the Military Control Commission is now developing into a street office.

A group of people will be arranged to go in first, and then they will be transferred to the street office and neighborhood committee.

This lady may very well be a member of the neighborhood committee in the future. Of course, she may also be a staff member of the street office.

"Auntie, before you ask me, can you first understand the situation?"

"I saw you beating someone with my own eyes, what else do I need to know?" said the middle-aged woman.

Li Le shook his head, sighed and said, "The Military Control Commission is all this kind of stuff now."

If it were in the past, Li Le would never say this, but his identity is different now.

Although he is not a soldier, he enjoys higher treatment than ordinary soldiers.

One first-class merit, two second-class merits, and two third-class merits.

With such achievements, it can be said that Li Le is not afraid of anyone.

Of course, this is when he is right. Is it right for Li Le to beat someone? Of course it is right.

These guys were selling him city wall bricks as if they were iron, and they were even trying to force the sale. How could Li Le ignore them?

The most important thing is that it’s obvious that these guys are not doing this for the first time because they are so skilled.

In this situation, Li Le is not worried no matter where he goes.

"What did you say? Say it again?" The old lady got angry.

You know, ever since she joined the Military Control Commission, no one dared to talk to her like this.

In fact, although she usually has a strong sense of superiority, she would not handle things like she did today.

The reason for this is that one of these four people is the child of her leader's family.

"I said, are all the members of the Military Control Commission people like you?" Li Le said it again obediently.

"Okay, very good, just wait for me." The lady said and left.

Looking at the old lady's back, Li Le shook his head speechlessly.

He just waited here, wanting to see how this matter would be handled.

In less than ten minutes, the middle-aged lady came over with a few people, including an older middle-aged lady and two real members of the Military Control Commission.

"Mom, save me."

As soon as the older lady came over, the young man who was leading the group started shouting.

No wonder this guy is so arrogant and domineering, daring to do such a thing in broad daylight. It turns out there is someone behind him!
This made Li Le speechless. What's wrong with this society? It's only been a few years since liberation! As soon as they have a little power, they don't know who they are.

"Why did you hit my son? If you don't give me an explanation today, you can forget about going back."

The old lady pointed at Li Le and said a few words, then quickly ran to the young man who was leading the group, squatted on the ground and supported him.

Li Le curled his lips and said, "It's true that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked. Like mother, like son."

"What do you mean?"

Li Le ignored her and looked at the two military control committee members and said, "Comrades, I hope you can investigate these people carefully."

"Tell me! What's the situation?" asked a member of the Military Control Commission.

As expected, we should always trust the soldiers.

"It's like this, today..." Li Le told the whole story from beginning to end without saying a word more.

Of course, he didn't say a word less, including that he beat up these guys and even told them how many times he beat them.

With the three bricks of the city wall on the ground, the two people from the Military Control Commission believed it.

Looking at the expressions of these four guys, the people from the Military Control Commission have already confirmed that Li Le is not lying.

"Comrade, don't listen to his nonsense. Don't I know what kind of person my son is? This man is definitely talking nonsense."

The military control committee member took one look at the woman and said, "We'll know if she is that kind of person when the military police come to investigate."

After the military control committee member finished speaking, he said to another person, "Xiao Liu, go to the police station and ask them to send a few people to investigate."

"Yes."

At this time, the old lady's face looked very ugly. She didn't expect that the people from the Military Control Commission would not give her any face at all.

Regardless of what is said, we are all comrades now, and we are all working together, so how can we not give each other any face at all?

After the member of the Military Control Commission called Xiao Liu left, the old lady panicked.

Because she knew very well that if this matter was brought to the police station, the nature of the matter would be different.

Although there is no such thing as extortion now, there is forced buying and selling! And it is not the first time.

"My dear young comrade, I apologize to you on behalf of my son. If I really can't help it, I will compensate you. He is still young, I hope you can let him go."

Li Le rolled his eyes at the old lady and said, "Is he still young? That's right, he is just a baby of more than 200 months old."

"puff!"

When the man from the Military Control Commission heard what Li Le said, he couldn't help but laugh.

Li Le then realized that it was the 1950s and it was still quite advanced to say such things at that time.

If you hear this in later generations, you will basically have no reaction, because you have heard it too many times.

But it’s different now! It’s only been a few years since liberation, so there are no people who talk like this.

"What will it take for you to let my son go? You want money, right? Just tell me the amount."

Li Le ignored her and said to the military control committee member, "Comrade, did you hear me? If something goes wrong, I will use money to solve it. I hope you can investigate people like this."

Hearing what Li Le said, the military control committee member said, "Don't worry, I will report this matter when I get back."

"you……"

The old lady didn't dare to say anything. She didn't expect that she had originally asked two people from the Military Control Commission to help, but now they were not able to help and might even get themselves into trouble.

More than 20 minutes later, the military control committee member named Xiao Liu came back with several military police.

Although they are all soldiers, they have different divisions of labor and therefore do different things.

The military police are actually the predecessors of the public security. It won’t be long before they become the real public security.

The people in the Military Control Commission will return to the army to continue their service after handing over their work.

"Tell me! What's going on?" asked a military policeman who was in his thirties and was obviously the leader.

There was no other way, Li Le could only repeat it from beginning to end.

"Okay, I got it. Please come back with us to the police station to take a statement." The leading military police officer said to Li Le.

"Okay." Li Le nodded.

"Get up, all of you." The leading military police officer said to the four guys.

The four guys were already scared silly at this time. When they heard what the military police said, they quickly got up from the ground.

But the way he was grinning showed that he was seriously injured, but the military and police did not care.

In this era, there is no such thing as not being able to torture and extract a confession, let alone excessive self-defense.

As soon as a few guys stood up, the leading military police said, "Move up the wall bricks."

Hearing what the military police said, Li Le was a little amused. These are city wall bricks!
If these guys were not injured, it would be fine, but they are seriously injured now!
This military police officer also asked them to move the bricks up. Isn't it obvious that he wanted to make trouble for them?
But this is normal. These wall bricks are considered evidence. Since they are evidence, they must be taken back.

But we can't let the military and police move it! Then it will fall to the four guys.

Because these four guys walked with a limp and very slowly, it took them almost an entire student to walk a distance that should have taken more than ten minutes.

Fortunately, Li Le was just taking a statement and it was done in less than twenty minutes.

After finishing the statement, Li Le did not leave. Instead, he pretended to take something out of his pocket, but actually took it from the space.

Several small notebooks appeared in Li Le's hands, and then Li Le handed these small notebooks to the military police who were helping him take the statement.

"This is..." The military police looked at these small notebooks in surprise.

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Hearing what Li Le said, the military police opened it and took a look. After reading these small books, the military police quickly stood up and saluted Li Le.

One first-class merit, two second-class merits and two third-class merits. What a joke! Whoever messes with such people will be in trouble.

"Comrade Li Le, don't worry, we will punish them severely if they do it again."

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. If I have to thank you, it's me."

Because it is clearly written in the little notebook why Li Le made such meritorious contributions, and the biggest beneficiaries of Li Le's meritorious contributions are their military and police officers.

Li Le took the small notebook, put it in his pocket, and walked out of the police station.

This is not the police station near their home, otherwise Li Le would not need to take out the little notebook.

After leaving the police station, Li Le continued to collect waste.

"Collecting junk!"

"Selling broken ones?"

Li Le was riding a tricycle and shouting.

"You're a junk collector. Do you accept furniture?"

Just as Li Le passed by a courtyard, a middle-aged man came out of the courtyard and asked.

"Collect." Li Le nodded.

The middle-aged man said, "Then come in and take a look!"

"Ok."

Li Le locked the tricycle and followed the middle-aged man inside.

Then Li Le saw an octagonal table in the yard.

This octagonal table is very big. To be honest, it is the first time that Li Le has seen such a big octagonal table.

Even in later generations, no one has ever seen one this big.

"Look at this round table, how much can you give?" asked the middle-aged man.

"Can I take a look first?" Li Le asked.

Of course he wanted to see what material it was made of. If it was mahogany, rosewood, or even huanghuali, then he would make a lot of money.

Li Le came to the Eight Immortals Table, looked at it carefully, and found that it was an Eight Immortals Table made of elm wood.

To be honest, elm wood is not valuable, and because it is heavy, few people use it to make large pieces of furniture.

This thing is sturdy, but it is a bit difficult to carry, especially such a large octagonal table.

"Comrade, this eight-immortal table is in good condition, why are you selling it?"

Although it is not made of good materials, there is not a single damaged part on the entire table. Except for the paint being a little aged, it can be said that there is no problem at all.

This is not because my child is getting married and they made new furniture. Everything else was given away, but no one wanted this octagonal table.

The middle-aged man's words left Li Le speechless! It turned out that he sold it to himself because no one wanted it!
Li Le didn’t know if there were any good things in the furniture given away as gifts, which made him feel a little regretful.

Li Le thought for a moment and said, "This eight-immortal table is 30,000 yuan. If you want to sell it, I'll take it away. If you don't want to sell it, forget it."

Although it is made of elm wood, this Eight Immortals Table is in perfect condition. It can be sent to a scrap yard and sold for 50,000 yuan.

The scrap yard then sells it to others, and if they find someone who needs it, it can be sold for at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.

To be honest, many old furniture can be sold for a good price, but the sellers cannot meet the buyers, and the buyers cannot meet the sellers either.

Now it’s not like later times, where we can put things online or on the second-hand market.

"Okay, take the 30,000 yuan!" the middle-aged man nodded.

Li Le counted out thirty thousand yuan and handed it to the middle-aged man, then came up to move the table and prepared to leave.

As soon as he picked it up, Li Le felt something was wrong. No wonder no one wanted it, it was too heavy.

Conservative estimates would put it at no less than 200 kilograms. It's just an 8-person table, but it weighs over 200 kilograms. Is this normal?
Even if it is made of elm, it can't be so heavy!

Li Le took a look at the table. Wow, it must be at least 20 centimeters thick! No wonder it's so heavy.

But Li Le quickly denied it, saying that even if it was 20 centimeters thick, it couldn't be so heavy.

Even though this octagonal table is very large and made of real materials, it is still a bit too heavy.

So Li Le changed his mind and decided not to send it to the scrap yard to sell it. He decided to go back and see what was going on first.

After moving the round table onto the tricycle, Li Le unlocked it and rode away on the tricycle.

"Collecting junk!"

"Selling broken ones?"

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was almost noon.

Li Le also received some things, including some worthless bottles and jars.

Thinking it was time to go back, Li Le parked his tricycle in front of a grain store, went in and bought 50 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of flour.

After putting the rice and flour on the tricycle and covering it, Li Le rode back.

When Li Le returned home, it was not yet half past eleven and he had already unloaded the grain and placed it in the east wing.

After buying all the food for today, put it all in the cellar.

Then Li Le moved the eight-immortals table down.

"Hey, Brother Le, are you buying this eight-immortal table for us to use?"

Hearing what Zhao Yanran said, Li Le thought about it and felt that it was not impossible!

Others complained that the table was too heavy, but Li Le didn't really take it seriously. It just so happened that their family was large, so they needed a larger round table.

There had been quite a few round tables before, but they were all made of good materials, so Li Le brought them all into the real world.

So the eight-immortal table that their family is using now is also made of just ordinary materials.

"In that case, keep it for yourself! It happens to be quite new, and much better than the one at home."

What Li Le said was correct. The eight-immortals table his family currently used was not only made of ordinary materials, but was also a bit old, and the paint on it had all faded.

This kind of eight-immortal table is a bit heavy, but it looks very new! It must be no more than five years old.

Just when Li Le was about to study the eight-immortals table further, Li Daila came in from outside pushing a tricycle.

"Brother, sister-in-law."

"Yeah!" Li Le nodded and asked, "How was your morning?"

Li Daila shrugged and said, "I was just looking for bacon and ham this morning, and didn't get anything."

"Oh! Did you find it?" Li Le asked.

"I did find one, but it was sold out. But he told me that a batch of hams will be delivered in the next few days."

"Really?" Li Le asked with his eyes lighting up.

"Yeah!" Li Daila nodded.

"Great. How about this? Keep an eye on them these few days. As long as they come, I'll take as many as they can."

"Ah! This..."

"Don't be so picky. Just do as I say. If you don't have enough money, ask your sister-in-law for it. You must buy them all."

"Okay big brother, I got it."

After saying that, Li Daila took the food off the tricycle and put it into the southernmost room of the east wing.

Because this house is the entrance to the cellar, and of course, also the exit.

Soon after, Ma Feng, Gou Sheng and Niu Shuanzhu also came back.

Like Li Daila, I didn’t receive anything in the morning.

Not only that, I didn’t find any bacon or ham, so I spent the whole morning in vain.

But it doesn’t matter!

After Ma Feng and his companions put the food in the east wing, they also saw this eight-immortal table.

"Brother, is this the eight-immortal table you bought for your family?"

"That's right, you guys carry it to the main room." Li Le nodded.

"Okay big brother."

Ma Feng agreed and called Gousheng to prepare to carry him in.

Unfortunately, even though both of them used all their strength, they still couldn't lift it up.

"Brother, what kind of table did you buy? Why is it so heavy?"

"Elmwood!"

"Okay!" After hearing Elm's words, Ma Feng stopped talking.

They could only call on Li Dailuo and Niu Shuanzhu, and the four of them lifted it together. This time it was very easy to lift it up.

Ma Feng and his team carried the Eight Immortals Table in and moved the original Eight Immortals Table out.

"Brother, what should we do with this round table?" Ma Feng asked.

"Chop it up and use it as firewood."

"Oh! All right."

At this time, Zhao Yanhan came out of the kitchen carrying a large basin of chopped chicken pieces, ready to wash them under the faucet.

Li Le hurried over and asked, "It's so cold, why are you taking a shower outside?"

"I'm afraid this is too oily and will clog the kitchen drain."

This summer, Li Le had someone connect a pipe from the tap in the yard to the kitchen.

At the same time, a sink was built in the kitchen. Of course, there must be a sewer if there is a sink, and now it is connected to the sewer in the yard.
