Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

After breakfast, Ning Yuan arrived at Zhong Yuemin's door and knocked on it on time, just like punching in.

"Boom!"

"Zhong Yuemin, are you any good at this? Didn't you say you were on the wrestling team and practiced early in the morning since you were a kid? And you're almost sleeping until the evening!"

Ning Yuan banged on the door and teased Zhong Yuemin loudly.

After a while, Zhong Yuemin was seen jumping out of the bedroom wearing red woolen trousers and a military officer's wool coat.

After quickly opening the door, he complained to Ning Yuan: "I really owed you in my previous life for torturing me like this every day!"

"Come on, you can just be happy that you have a buddy like me. I brought you two steamed buns, but it's still your dad who thinks about you!"

Ning Yuan's fatherly habits resurfaced.

Zhong Yuemin stuffed a steamed bun into his mouth, eating while he retorted: "If you can bring me two hot white flour buns every day, I will call you dad!"

"Go to hell with you! I still want to be served with white flour buns every day. You really dare to speak up!"

Ning Yuan had already finished the tray of steamed buns that he had just steamed the day before yesterday.

If I order another tray in the evening, I guess I will finish the ten kilograms of white flour I bought last time.

Ning Yuan didn't even dare to dream of eating white flour buns every meal. Look at the food stored in his space, 90% of it is coarse grains.

After waiting for a while, Zhong Yuemin finished eating the steamed buns and put on his clothes.

Ning Yuan had already become impatient and urged, "Yuemin, after you've packed up, go out with your buddy!"

"Where are you going? What are your plans?" Zhong Yuemin asked Ning Yuan who was sitting on the sofa while wiping his face with a towel.

"Let's go to the Air Force Research Institute. Didn't you go there last time with that overseas Chinese who took our stuff? Let's go over there to check things out and see if we can find a few more buyers!"

Ning Yuan decided to find a few more capable buyers first. He must be on guard against Zhang Fengkai.

"Find a few more buyers? We don't have that many things to sell, do we?" Zhong Yuemin looked at Ning Yuan suspiciously.

"Things are easy to find. If we go to the villages on the outskirts of the city, we can probably find a lot of old items."

"Oh, and one more thing, you can say hello to a few of our good friends. Next time you raid our house, don't throw everything away. Bring it back to us. We'll treat you. Let's eat as much as we want at Lao Mo's Restaurant!"

Ning Yuan has also thought of several ways to collect old items. He can only feel at ease if he has control over the supply of goods and the source of customers.

And to be honest, the things in Chen Liangzi's hands are really good, so good that Ning Yuan couldn't bear to give them away after seeing them.

They are all imperial treasures. Every time one of these is sold, there is one less piece. In the future, it will be more convenient to exchange some old items from the folk, which are relatively common in the world, for money.

If you come across something of excellent quality, you must keep it for yourself.

He has no intention of selling the large enameled porcelain vase and jade Guanyin statue he has in his hands.

Ning Yuan had already planned a route before coming to find Zhong Yuemin.

"Okay, then let's go to the research institute!" Zhong Yuemin agreed with Ning Yuan's plan after hearing it, so he quickened his pace, washed up and dressed quickly, and then the two of them went out together.

Riding two 28-inch bicycles, both of them were wearing upright and handsome officer's woolen coats, and they strolled all the way to the gate of the Air Force compound.

The research institute was still deep in the compound, so the two of them followed Zhong Yuemin's memory and walked inside.

They also met some young men from the Air Force compound on the way. Although they didn't know Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin, they looked like officers with tall and strong build, and they looked like they were not to be trifled with, so nothing happened.

When they arrived at the entrance of the research institute, there were two sentries at the gate. However, the sentries looked at Ning Yuan and his friends' clothes and did not stop them. They just walked in straight away.

You know, although this period was turbulent, the country highly valued these high-tech talents who returned to serve the motherland after studying abroad.

Not only are Ye and Nie escorting him, but he is also under the close supervision of **.

Of course, the protection measures and level of attention of this Air Force Research Institute are definitely not as good as those of the two bomb researchers, so Ningyuan Zhong Yuemin was able to sneak in.

"Yuemin, do you remember which family it is?" Ning Yuan saw Zhong Yuemin suddenly stop, look around at the rows of houses that looked very similar, and then asked.

"We came here at night that day, and the general location is definitely correct, it's these households, but I'm not sure which one it is specifically!" Zhong Yuemin was also a little confused and looked around for a long time.

"Well, let's just go in and ask someone. By the time you remember, the flowers will be cold!"

Ning Yuan smiled and patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder, then walked straight towards a house in front of him.

"Bang bang bang!" Ning Yuan knocked on the door a few times.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his fifties came out and opened the door.

"Two young comrades, who are you looking for?" The middle-aged man adjusted his glasses and asked Ning Yuan at the door.

"Hello, uncle. We are here to look for a Mr. Qiao. He is about 40 years old and an overseas Chinese. Do you know where he lives?" Ning Yuan did not hesitate and asked the target directly.

"Oh, you mean Professor Qiao Vining, right? Professor Qiao lives in that household."

After the middle-aged man reacted, he pointed to a house diagonally opposite to Ning Yuan and the others at the door.

"Okay, uncle, thank you for your help!" Ning Yuan looked in the direction he pointed, turned around and nodded to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man smiled and didn't say anything else.

Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin didn't waste any time and walked straight to the door of the house he pointed to.

However, they knocked on the door for a long time but no one came out to open it. They guessed that Professor Qiao was not at home.

When Zhong Yuemin came over the night before yesterday, he felt that there were no other members in the room.

"My two young comrades, if no one opens the door to Professor Qiao, it might be that he hasn't returned from the factory yet. Would you two like to come over here and drink some hot water and wait for Professor Qiao?"

The middle-aged man just now saw Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin standing at the door for a long time and unable to get in, so he opened the door again and shouted at Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin.

Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin looked at each other and didn't insist. After all, the weather was still very cold. After saying hello to the middle-aged man, they went to his house.
