Siheyuan: No One Can Be Left Behind

"That's right!" Li Dongfang snapped his fingers and said, "He has no job, no household registration, and no place to live. How do you think he makes money?"

"Then I can only run errands or pull errands?" Chen Xueru tapped her chin.

"It's impossible to even pull errands. To pull errands, you need a cart or something. Does he have that? Just relying on running errands, let alone how many people need him, how much money can he make in a day? So I can be almost sure that his income is definitely not normal." Li Dongfang sat back on the stool with a smile, looking like I can predict the future.

"Tsk! I thought you knew something, turns out you were just guessing." Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and sat back.

Xu Huizhen said in disbelief: "No way, I don't think he is that kind of person."

Li Dongfang did not argue with her or explain, but shrugged and said, "I have someone following me. We will have news on the actual situation soon."

Li Dongfang then noticed that after all the hassles, no one had come to the tavern. He looked at Xu Huizhen and asked, "It's almost noon, why is there no one here?"

Xu Huizhen pursed her lips, looked at Li Dongfang in reproach, and said, "How dare you say that? It's all because of you. You disappeared for such a long time, the stewed food is long gone, and it's hard to buy it on the market. I can't even stew it myself, so the number of people is decreasing day by day."

When it comes to this issue, Chen Xueru and Elena remained silent and just watched Li Dongfang being humiliated with a look of disgust on their faces.

But how could Li Dongfang let them laugh at him? He immediately thought of a solution. As for business methods, there were all kinds of tricks in later generations. If any one of them was used in the present, it would be a crushing existence.

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I promise that your place will be packed with people today." Li Dongfang said, patting his chest.

"Really?" Xu Huizhen was a little unconvinced.

Not to mention Xu Huizhen, even Chen Xueru and Elena didn't believe it. They had seen the ups and downs of the tavern, and good or bad business didn't happen overnight.

"Don't believe it? How about we make a bet? What do you say if I fill up the tavern today?" Li Dongfang said confidently.

"Forget about filling the tables. If you can get more than half of these tables occupied today, you'll be considered awesome!" Chen Xueru said in disbelief.

"Okay! Then what do you want to bet on?!" Li Dongfang continued to smile.

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and felt that half of the answer was still not safe. What if he got lucky today?

"If this place is full today, the three of us will play mahjong with you!" Chen Xueru said provocatively.

Playing mahjong... Are you sure you're not taking advantage of me? But think about it, Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen have played together quite a few times, and with Yiliana... it doesn't seem impossible. Just when I was about to agree, I heard Chen Xueru add, "If you can convince Lin Shu, we can play together~~"

Seeing Li Dongfang hesitating, Chen Xueru thought that he didn't dare or was not satisfied with the bet, so she directly proposed the condition of calling Lin Shu. How could Li Dongfang refuse? This simply hit his sore spot!

"It's a deal! Bring me paper and pen!" Li Dongfang waved his hand with great momentum.

"Pen and paper? What do you need those things for? Shouldn't you bring some braised meat?" Chen Xueru had no idea what Li Dongfang was going to do.

"Braised meat is definitely indispensable. It has been prepared long ago. Bring paper and pen first." Li Dongfang smiled mysteriously.

Ten minutes later, a big red notice was posted at the door of the tavern: Anyone who comes into the store and makes a purchase today will receive a free dish of braised pork.

Clapping his hands, Li Dongfang returned to the car with a bag of stewed food and said, "Come on, go in and wait. I'm afraid you guys won't be able to handle it!"

As soon as this thing was posted, Chen Xueru knew that she and her friends had definitely lost the bet. Nowadays, let alone braised meat, even if you gave away two steamed buns, people would fight over them. You can imagine how popular the store would be in a short while.

But this result is not unacceptable. They have been craving for it for the past few months. No matter who eats it tonight, the others will definitely not be happy. It's good for them to eat together this way.

Not surprisingly, the tavern was packed with people. If Lin Shu hadn't helped block the door, there would probably not even be room for people to stand in the lobby.

Li Dongfang and Niu Ye were drinking together at a small table. Niu Ye was also amazed and said, "Wow, Huizhen is not going to live like this anymore. What a big spender! I'm afraid my table is not as valuable as this dish of braised meat. What day is today?"

"Uncle Niu, you are right. You are an old customer of ours. I heard from Huizhen that even though we have run out of braised food during this period, you have still been taking care of our business every now and then. Isn't it right for us to give you something in return? I will make the decision today. Your table is free, and you can eat as much wine and food as you want. This is my way of saying thank you for your care over the years." Li Dongfang clinked glasses with Uncle Niu.

On this day, the shop was busy until the moon was high in the sky before closing. Those who didn't get a chance to queue up complained, but Li Dongfang promised that those who queued up today could still get free braised meat tomorrow by presenting their receipts. Only then did everyone leave with satisfaction.

After a quick meal, except for Lin Shu who was still sitting, the other three women just lay down and didn't want to move.

There was no choice but Li Dongfang to take the initiative to serve.

At noon, Li Dongfang opened his eyes and heard that the tavern had become lively.

He also replenished a large amount of braised meat before taking Lin Shu on the journey.

Li Dongfang had originally planned to go to the Lou family to meet Lou Bancheng today, but then he received news that the military wanted to discuss the matter of Prince Gong's Mansion with Li Dongfang.

Li Dongfang was also very surprised. He was really coveting Prince Gong's Mansion. He had originally proposed to get Prince Gong's Mansion with the intention of raising the price and paying back in the end. Even if he couldn't get Prince Gong's Mansion, he believed that the military would not give him a bad courtyard.

I didn't expect that today they would discuss the Prince Gong Mansion. Doesn't this mean that there is a great possibility that we can take it down? !

Without any hesitation, Li Dongfang turned around and headed towards the military headquarters, not caring that it was soon lunchtime.

Prince Gong's Mansion is the largest palace in the country. It was formerly the residence of the notorious corrupt official Heshen. It covers an area of ​​more than 6 square meters and has its own huge back garden.

Rushing to the military headquarters in a hurry, Li Dongfang went directly to find the person in charge of the matter, a civilian colonel named Zhang.

"Colonel Zhang, I heard there's news about Prince Gong's Mansion?"

"Comrade Li Dongfang, you came so quickly. I thought you would come tomorrow and the information has not been sorted out yet." Colonel Zhang could understand Li Dongfang's feelings as soon as he saw him. After all, this palace was too conspicuous. It was the focus of the entire city. If he didn't know what Li Dongfang had done in Curry, he would definitely not believe that the higher-ups would give this as a reward to an individual.
