Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Chapter 1071: Such an ugly expression?

Back in his room, He Yudong lay on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep. His mind was full of those magical things in the trading space.

"Points, points..." He Yudong muttered, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

He exchanged a pound of white flour, a pound of pork belly, and a bottle of Erguotou from the space.

In the 1960s, supplies were scarce and these things were rare in the courtyard houses.

Early the next morning, the deaf old lady went out with dark circles under her eyes and a pale face.

"Oh, old lady, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" the third aunt asked with concern.

"Don't mention it. I had a nightmare all night and was scared to death!" The deaf old lady is still in shock and her calves are still shaking.

She dreamed that she fell into a dry well and couldn't climb out. There were poisonous snakes and rats all around her, which scared her to death.

"It's really strange. Why is he talking about his dreams in broad daylight?" The third aunt muttered.

He Yudong was carrying some things out at this time and happened to meet the deaf old lady.

"Old lady, this is my gift to you as a token of my filial piety. Please accept it." He Yudong handed over the gift with a smile.

The deaf old lady's eyes widened as she looked at the white flour, the fat and lean pork belly, and the bottle of Erguotou.

These things are treasures in the courtyard that would make people rack their brains for them!

"This...this is so embarrassing." The deaf old lady said she was embarrassed, but she took the things honestly with her hands.

"Of course, of course." He Yudong said with a filial look on his face, "You are old now, you should take more care of your body."

The neighbors around were all stunned.

This He Yudong, when did he become so generous?

You know, he used to be notoriously stingy and was reluctant to lend even a needle to others.

"Yudong, have you made a fortune?" An old man came over and asked curiously.

"No, no, I was just lucky and got some good stuff." He Yudong laughed.

He didn't dare tell anyone about the trading space, it was his secret weapon.

In the next few days, He Yudong found different ways to send delicious food to the deaf old lady every day.

The deaf old lady was a little wary at first, thinking that He Yudong had some conspiracy.

However, she soon fell under the temptation of delicious food.

"Yudong is becoming more and more sensible." The deaf old lady praises He Yudong to everyone she meets.

He Yudong's purpose was simple, he just wanted the deaf old lady to shut up and stop causing trouble for him.

He also wants to make use of the trading space to make great strides in this era.

That day, He Yudong was in the yard thinking about how to exchange points for something more valuable when he suddenly heard a noise.

"Shazhu! You bastard! How dare you hit me!" Qin Huairu's cries echoed throughout the courtyard.

He Yudong frowned. What was going on?

He walked to the front yard and saw Sha Zhu pointing at Qin Huairu's nose and cursing.

"You're a spendthrift woman! All the money I worked so hard to earn has been used by you to support your family of vampires!"

Qin Huairu covered her face and cried bitterly.

"Silly Zhu, you can't do this to me! I'm your wife!"

"Wife? What kind of wife are you! When did I marry you?" Sha Zhu roared.

The neighbors around were watching the fun and talking about it.

"That silly Zhu, really, no matter how bad Qin Huairu is, she is still the mother of three children."

"That's right, hitting a woman in public, what kind of man is that!"

He Yudong watched coldly, but was secretly happy in his heart.

This Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu are both people he dislikes.

Now they are fighting each other, which saves him a lot of trouble.

"Silly, that's enough!"

A crisp voice was heard, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a young woman in fashionable clothes walking over.

The woman was tall, pretty, and had a heroic look between her brows.

"Who are you?" Sha Zhu was stunned.

"I'm Ran Qiuye, Sha Zhu's fiancée." The woman said lightly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the courtyard was in an uproar.

"Fiancée? When did Sha Zhu have a fiancée?"

"This woman is so pretty, much prettier than Qin Huairu!"

"Now there's something good to watch!"

He Yudong looked at Ran Qiuye and his heart moved.

This woman is quite interesting...

Suddenly he had a bold idea.

He Yudong was delighted when he saw the dazzling array of medicines. This is a great benefit from traveling through time! He put the medicine box into the space and started thinking about the points. One hundred points may seem like a lot, but if he really wants to buy something big, it's not enough. He has to find a way to get some points.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a noise outside the door.

"Yudong, are you home?" It was Shazhu's voice.

He Yudong quickly closed the space and responded, "Hey, I'm here."

Sha Zhu pushed the door open and came in, looking anxious: "Yudong, are you okay? The old lady told me that you had a quarrel with her, I was worried about you..."

He Yudong sneered in his heart. This old lady is really good at complaining. He pretended to be weak and sighed: "Oh, don't mention it, Zhuzi. I quarreled with her for a few words, and she slammed the door and left. I felt bad."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he quickly comforted her: "It's okay, Yudong, the old lady is old, don't bother with her. I'll talk to her later."

He Yudong cursed Sha Zhu in his heart, but said, "Hey, Zhuzi, you are really my good brother. By the way, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Sha Zhu then remembered the important matter: "Oh, by the way, the factory has paid your salary. Since you are not in good health, I will help you collect your salary." As he said that, he took out a few crumpled bills from his pocket and handed them to He Yudong.

He Yudong took the money and counted it. It was 18.5 yuan in total. This amount of money was considered a considerable income in the 1960s. However, in He Yudong's eyes, this amount of money was not enough.

He put the money away and said to Sha Zhu with a smile: "Thanks, Zhuzi, you are really my good brother."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and chuckled: "It's okay, it's all as I should."

After sending Sha Zhu away, He Yudong began to think about the space again. He suddenly thought, can the things in this space be sold outside?

He tried to take out a pound of Wuchang rice from the space and put it on the table. The rice grains were full, crystal clear, and exuded an enticing rice aroma.

He Yudong was excited. If he sold this on the black market, he would definitely get a good price!

He quickly put away the rice and took out a piece of pork belly from the space. The pork belly was fat and lean, with bright color, which made people's appetite increase at a glance.

He Yudong was thinking, if I sell this meat outside, I could probably get at least two or three yuan per pound, right?

Thinking of this, he felt excited. This time travel benefit was really a treasure trove!

Early the next morning, He Yudong took rice and pork belly to the black market. He found a secluded corner and set up a stall.

"Fresh rice, lean and fatty pork belly, don't miss it if you pass by!" He Yudong shouted at the top of his voice.

At first, no one noticed him. After all, there were too many people selling things on the black market and the competition was fierce.

However, what He Yudong sells is really tempting. The rice grains are full and exude an alluring rice aroma; the pork belly is fat and lean, with bright colors, which makes people's appetite increase at first sight.

Gradually, people began to notice He Yudong's stall.

"How much is your rice?" A middle-aged woman came over and asked, pointing at the rice.

"One dollar per pound." He Yudong said with a smile.

"One yuan per pound?" The middle-aged woman was shocked. "Isn't this too expensive? Rice outside is only 50 cents per pound."

He Yudong smiled and said, "Sister, my rice is not ordinary rice. It is Wuchang rice. It is fragrant and sticky, and tastes much better than the rice sold outside."

The middle-aged woman was a little hesitant. She picked up a handful of rice, looked at it carefully, and smelled it. It was indeed very fragrant.

"Okay, give me two kilograms." The middle-aged woman finally decided to buy two kilograms to try.

He Yudong weighed two kilograms of rice and handed it to the middle-aged woman.

"How much is your pork belly?" An old man came over and asked, pointing at the pork belly.

"Three yuan per pound." He Yudong said with a smile.

"Three yuan a pound?" The old man was also shocked. "Isn't this too expensive? The pork belly outside is only one yuan and fifty cents a pound."

He Yudong smiled and said, "Uncle, this pork belly of mine is not ordinary pork belly. This is top-quality pork belly, with fat and lean parts, and the meat is fresh and delicious. It tastes much better than the pork belly sold outside."

The old man was also a little hesitant. He picked up a piece of pork belly, looked at it carefully, and smelled it. It was indeed very fragrant.

"Okay, give me a pound." The old man finally decided to buy a pound to try.

He Yudong weighed a pound of pork belly and handed it to the old man.

In this way, He Yudong's business became better and better, and soon, the rice and pork belly he brought were sold out.

He counted the money in his hand and found that he had earned more than five yuan in total. This was his previous monthly salary!

He Yudong was excited. This time travel benefit was really a good way to make money!

He was just feeling happy when he suddenly heard a cold voice behind him: "Boy, where do you get the things you sell from?"

He Yudong looked back and saw a burly man with a face full of flesh staring at him viciously.

Behind the sturdy man were a few thugs, each of them looking ferocious and vicious.

He Yudong's heart skipped a beat. He knew that he was in trouble...

He Yudong's heart sank suddenly, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead. He forced himself to remain calm and put on a flattering smile: "Big brother, what can I do for you?"

The sturdy man looked He Yudong up and down, his eyes full of contempt: "Boy, you are new here, right? Don't you know that you have to pay protection fees to sell things in this area?"

He Yudong cursed inwardly, but still smiled: "Brother, you see, this is a small business of mine, and I don't make much money..."

The sturdy man sneered and grabbed He Yudong by the collar: "Stop talking nonsense! Five dollars for protection, give it to me!"

Five dollars! This is all his income today! He Yudong gritted his teeth and thought about how to get out.

"Brother, how about this? I just arrived today and I don't have that much money on me. I will definitely give you double the amount tomorrow. How about that?"

The sturdy man pushed He Yudong to the ground and said, "Are you kidding me? If you don't pay today, don't even think about leaving here!"

The gangsters around also gathered around, rubbing their hands and ready to fight. He Yudong knew that he couldn't avoid the money today.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." He Yudong pretended to be scared, took out five dollars from his pocket and handed it to the strong man.

The sturdy man took the money and smiled proudly: "You're smart, kid! Remember to pay the protection fee earlier next time, otherwise..." He waved his fist, and the threat was self-evident.

He Yudong got up, dusted himself off, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He couldn't swallow this!
