Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

"How about it, Lao Xiao, this folk remedy is good, right?"

Seeing that Xiao Yitu was full, Xu Dongsheng immediately cleaned up the table and then spoke to Xiao Yitu with a smile.

"Good, really good. Even Fengze Garden doesn't have such good pickled meat. The taste is amazing. But, please don't tease me. You treat me as a friend, so I can't put on a fake face anymore.

I'm just hungry. I'm working in the logistics department of a construction team, and I only earn 35 yuan a month. I was spoiled when I was young. The situation is different now, but I still always want to go to Badayuan.

This month's allowance was paid at the beginning of the month but was gone in the middle of the month, so now I'm hungry. This month's allowance was paid, so of course I had to do something, so I fainted from hunger today, and you ran into me.

However, this thing of yours is really good. It ranks in the top ten of the things I have eaten in my life. Where did you get this good thing? Do you have more? If you do, although I have no money, I can exchange it for you. How about it? "

Hearing Xu Dongsheng's words, Xiao Yitu could see that Xu Dongsheng was not laughing at him, nor did he mean to joke with him. He felt ashamed at once, and his ruddy face looked as if Guan Gong's face was painted on it.

"This was given to me by a fellow villager. I didn't spend any money on it. This is all I have. If I had more, it wouldn't be a big deal to give you some."

Xu Dongsheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, then told Xiao Yitu that this was all he knew.

"That's such a pity. This thing is really pickled with a secret recipe. The person who pickled it must be an old gourmet. I can only taste a few of the recipes here. Brother Dongsheng, if you still have this thing in the future, please save some for me. I will exchange it with something else for you. It is definitely a good thing and you won't lose money."

Xiao Yitu knew that Xu Dongsheng was in the purchasing business. He went to many places and knew many people, so he must be able to get a lot of things. So Xiao Yitu naturally wanted to ask Xu Dongsheng to save some good things for him so that he could exchange them later.

Buying with money is not appropriate between friends, but exchanging things is definitely okay, as he has a lot of good things at home. Exchanging things between friends can make things more valuable and make the relationship closer.

"That's no problem. If there are any good things in the future, I can save some for you. But these good things are hard to find, and the time is uncertain."

Xu Dongsheng nodded and did not refuse him. After all, this business is open to everyone.

"Then it's settled. Thank you for today. If there's anything I, Xiao Yitu, can help with in the future, I'll let you know without hesitation."

Xiao Yitu immediately assured Xu Dongsheng that he would be available to help whenever Xu Dongsheng needed it.

"Okay, I'll keep it in mind."

Then the two chatted for a while, and the neighbor lady brought a pot of hot water to Xu Dongsheng's house, saying that the weather was hot and hot water could be used to make tea to cool off. However, Xu Dongsheng's family did not have the habit of drinking tea. Xu Dongsheng had never made tea since he was a child, so Xu Dongsheng also did not have the habit of making tea.

But they had delivered it, and although it was just an excuse to come to their house to check on the situation, Xu Dongsheng still accepted it. Not long after, Xiao Yitu said goodbye, and Xu Dongsheng locked the door, sent Xiao Yitu to the door, and rode his bike to Shichahai again.

He still needed two kilograms to complete his task, so he decided to finish it all at once. In the afternoon, there were more people on the shore of Shichahai, so Xu Dongsheng found a remote fishing spot and started fishing.

Xu Dongsheng is an expert in fishing. No matter how remote the corner is, it will attract attention. Xu Dongsheng has no choice but to replace all the fish he caught. About an hour later, Xu Dongsheng returned with a 12-jin carp and a 5-jin mullet.

His mission for this week has been completed.

After arriving at the steel rolling mill and completing his assignment, Xu Dongsheng waited for Old Xu to get off work and then left with him.

"Old Xiao, have you eaten?"

Xu Dongsheng and Xu Dazhuang went back together. Xiao Yitu also went back after work. In the courtyard of No. 13 Dengzhan Hutong, Xiao Yitu lived in the north room of the quadrangle. There were three rooms, one bright and two dark. But in this huge house, Xiao Yitu lived alone. He had a wife, but this wife was too good at playing, even better than him. His family wealth was not enough to support him, so he divorced and was now alone.

Xiao Yitu had just returned home when a voice was heard at the door. Xiao Yitu turned around and saw that it was his good brother, Wang Mantang. Wang Mantang was holding an oil-paper bag in his hand. When he smelled the fragrance, Xiao Yitu knew what good stuff was inside.

"Quanjude Roast Duck, full house, you are thoughtful."

Xiao Yitu hurried to Wang Mantang's side, took the Quanjude roast duck from Wang Mantang, and then put it to his nose and smelled it.

"And bread."

Seeing Xiao Yitu's eyes, Wang Mantang did not tease Xiao Yitu and took out the pancake from his clothes.

"Brother, you really understand me. Sigh, you said, after Xiu left, how come my life is still so tight? Today, a little brother saved me."

As Xiao Yitu spoke, he took out the roast duck, and while eating, he told Wang Mantang about what happened to him this afternoon.

"Tsk, who can you blame for this? You don't eat the food in the cafeteria, and you despise the steamed buns with pickles. But these days, braised pork is not available every meal. You are used to a good life, and now that life is a little difficult, you are still picky?

You are lucky today to have met a kind person. If you were not careful and could not wake up, or if you could not breathe, you would be at a great loss. "

Wang Mantang was shocked when he heard about Xiao Yitu's experience. Then he became furious when he saw Xiao Yitu's nonchalant look. He wanted to go up and beat Xiao Yitu up.

There was a reason why Xiao Yitu lived such a miserable life. Xiao Yitu used to be a half-immortal who was good at Feng Shui. His ancestor was a wandering official in the palace. He started following the old man since he was seven years old. He was worshipped wherever he went and developed a playful nature.

Now it's a new society, these feudal remnants are no longer needed, so he can only look after the warehouse, and the thirty-odd yuan a month is because of his position as the person in charge. He has no choice about this. After all, Xiao Yitu is unwilling to endure hardships and wants to play, so he really has no choice.

"So you're going to eat someone's meal for free? And it's a good thing. Even if someone gives you a bowl of porridge, you have to remember it for the rest of your life. Why do you act like they owe you something?"

Then Wang Mantang thought of Xu Dongsheng who had saved Xiao Yitu and had taken out such a precious thing for Xiao Yitu to eat. That was meat, and not just any meat, and he just gave it to Xiao Yitu for free without any hesitation.

"Brother, in your eyes, I am such an ungrateful person. I can't make it up to others right now. You also know my situation. I have nothing now. How can I repay others? I have too many debts to worry about. I can only owe them for now.

I have already talked to that person clearly. He works in purchasing and was just converted to a regular employee today. He is in charge of purchasing, and more importantly, food purchasing. We have no connections in this area, so we can't help him in this regard.

So, on the way back, I was thinking about how to repay him. Hey, when I came back, I really thought of one thing. This little brother is really good at fishing. Basically, whenever he has time, he fishes in Shichahai.

Every time he did it, he would catch a big fish, but he would only take one fish back to eat. However, I guess he took it to get the job done, and the extra fish were all exchanged with other people. He was willing to exchange anything, and what he got most was this old thing.

We in the Xiao family don’t have much, but we have a lot of these old things, so I thought, if I have the chance, I will give two to them.”

Xiao Yitu said distressedly that he had been thinking for a long time and finally came up with a solution, which was that he found out that Xu Dongsheng liked old things a little, so he planned to give Xu Dongsheng some old items.

"Okay, as long as you have an idea, but no matter what, you should still pay me a visit. When you visit me one day, let me know. As my senior brother, I have to thank him in person anyway."

Hearing that Xiao Yitu had an idea, Wang Mantang's anger subsided a little, and he then said that he would take Xu Dongsheng with him when he went to his house.

"No, don't. I told him that I'm a warehouse manager. He and I are old brothers, and we are friends. I'm not going to go to his house to thank him in a big way. I just remember it in my heart. If he needs help, I will just help him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yitu quickly said that he was in charge of his own affairs. He and Xu Dongsheng were getting along well now and didn't want any mess to get involved.

"Okay, you are the boss, you should take a rest. You should eat a few bites in the future. This is a new society. You have to get rid of some of your decadent habits."

Seeing this, Wang Mantang knew that Xiao Yitu could do whatever he wanted, and he had no intention of interfering. It was just because Xu Dongsheng saved his life, and it was his duty as a senior brother. Otherwise, he would not bother to care. Now he was busy with the completion of the conference hall, and he was too busy to care about him.

It was his son Zhuzi who suggested having dinner. Knowing his character, he specially brought half a roast duck for him.

Wang Mantang left Xiao Yitu's house. Xiao Yitu finished eating the roast duck that Wang Mantang brought, then stood up and went to the side room, which was filled with dozens of boxes of various sizes.
