"Old man, how did you knock the knife out of my hand just now?" Fang Yuan looked at the old man with a smile and asked.
"Knock the knife out of your hand? When did I knock the knife out of your hand? You threw it out yourself."
The old man's words caused a black line on Fangyuan's forehead. There was nothing he could do. The old man didn't admit that he had any solution.
But Fangyuan didn't give up. It was okay if he didn't know. Now that he knew, he would not let go no matter what.
"Okay! Maybe I saw it wrong." Fangyuan shrugged indifferently.
The old man doesn't know him very well now, so it's normal that he doesn't want to teach him, but it doesn't matter, Fangyuan has plenty of time.
So Fangyuan picked up the tea cup, took a sip, sat down and poured himself another cup.
Seeing Fangyuan pouring himself tea, the old man glanced at him and said nothing.
This is Fangyuan, he never knows what politeness is, this is also his character.
"Old man, how did you enter this yard?"
A large courtyard with a front and backyard like this is generally divided into two entrances and three entrances. The two entrances are easier to understand, which are the front and back yards.
The third entrance means there is an additional middle courtyard. To put it bluntly, there are three rows of houses.
Although there is one more middle court between the three-entry and the two-entry, the gap is huge.
Generally, a two-entry courtyard has a front and back yard, but a three-entry courtyard has gardens, lotus ponds, pavilions, rockeries, etc.
Moreover, the last row of courtyards with three entrances are basically two-story buildings, and they are not ordinary brick and tile houses.
It's a pity that the old man didn't accept his words at all, and Fangyuan couldn't go in and see by himself without the old man's permission.
After finishing the pot of tea with the old man, Fangyuan left. Fangyuan left in a hurry. This was of course intentional.
Because the old man hasn't given him chicken money yet, Fangyuan wants to make the old man owe him, and the more he owes, the better. He doesn't care about this anyway.
If the old man can really teach him martial arts, let alone a few chickens, even hundreds, thousands are nothing.
Fangyuan is not stupid, and she still doesn’t know which end is lighter and which is heavier.
Fangyuan walked out of the gate and ran away. The old man was about to close the door. When he saw Fangyuan running so fast, he seemed to remember that he didn't pay.
I was about to call Fangyuan, but Fangyuan had already rushed to the door of Lao Cao's house. The old man opened his mouth, but still didn't shout out, so he closed the door.
Seeing that the old man didn't call him, Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief, which meant there was something going on.
Arriving at the door of Lao Cao's house, Fangyuan went up and patted the door. The door opened quickly, and it was Lao Cao who opened the door.
"Come in quickly." Lao Cao said.
"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded and walked in.
"I heard from my lover, did you go next door?" Lao Cao asked Fangyuan after closing the door.
"That's right! What's wrong?"
"Why did you go to his house?" Lao Cao frowned.
Fangyuan glanced at Lao Cao and asked, "Speaking of Lao Cao, how come I noticed that you all don't seem to want to see him?"
Lao Cao curled his lips and said, "Who would treat him well? He offended many people back then, but there was nothing anyone could do against him."
Hearing what Lao Cao said, Fangyuan's eyes lit up and he asked: "There is nothing we can do against him? Why is there nothing we can do?"
"Don't ask about this. Anyway, it's better for you to have less contact with him, otherwise you will offend others."
"Old Cao, what you said is that you are my client and he is also my client. Besides, I just sold him something. How can I offend someone?"
"Fang Yuan, you don't know. Let me tell you this! At least one-third of the people living nearby have been offended by him."
"Isn't it? He has offended so many people, why don't those people make trouble for him?"
You must know that the old man lives alone. How many people do one-third of the people live in this neighborhood? It must be several hundred at least!
"Finding trouble for him? What are you thinking! Who dares to trouble him!"
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes lit up again.
He likes this kind of thing where you don't like me, but you can't kill me.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You are here this time..."
He knew that Fangyuan was not here to give away chickens or rabbits, because just now he saw that Fangyuan's car was loaded with nothing.
Moreover, Fangyuan no longer accepts large yellow croakers. Fangyuan just told him this a few days ago.
"Lao Cao, it's like this. I've recently fallen in love with furniture, especially the kind of furniture that has strange shapes and is old."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, Lao Cao looked at him and asked: "Fangyuan, what do you want that thing for?"
If Fangyuan said he liked porcelain or something, Lao Cao would probably know immediately that he wanted to get antiques, but old furniture is something new.
"It's like this. I'm planning to set up a furniture factory or something in the future, so I want to collect some old furniture like this. As you know, many craftsmanship has not been passed down. I'm afraid of this..."
Fangyuan didn't finish what he said, because that way Lao Cao would make up his mind.
Sure enough, after hearing what Fangyuan said, Lao Cao slapped his thigh and said, "I understand, you want to collect those crafts."
"Almost! Do you think you can help me with this? Of course, I'm not asking you to help me for nothing. I'll give you two dollars when I receive something I like."
"Fang Yuan, what are you doing? Am I the kind of person who is blind to money? Don't you just want to collect a few pieces of old furniture! Leave this matter to me."
In fact, what Lao Cao said is right! He is indeed not the kind of person who is blind to money. Before, he thought of selling to support himself, but there was no way.
During this period of time, he has made a lot of money helping Fangyuan collect large yellow croakers, so he is not short of money at all now. In this case, he does not take money so seriously.
To put it bluntly, this is all forced. If he had food and drink, he wouldn't do it. After all, they are all neighbors.
"Yeah! Thanks."
"Thank you, let me think about which house has more old furniture like this."
"Okay, think about it slowly."
"I remembered. Let's go to Lao Qi's house. There are more things like this in his house."
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Shall we go now?"
"That's right! If you don't go now, when will you go? And if you go at this time, maybe you can still have lunch."
Hearing what Lao Cao said, Fangyuan was really speechless. This Lao Cao really is probably the richest family in this neighborhood.
Of course this wealth is talking about money, let’s put it this way! During this period, Lao Cao helped Fangyuan collect large yellow croakers and made at least five to six hundred thousand.
Who else around here can afford so much money? I guess no one can afford it.
In addition to money, it’s food and meat. No one around here can compare with his family, but even so, he still has to go to other people’s houses for food. What’s wrong with this!
Of course, Fangyuan also knows that sometimes the casual meal does not mean that you really want to eat. You must know that eating is also a kind of emotional connection.
"Fang Yuan and I are going out. We may not come back for lunch at noon. You can watch and cook something yourself!" Before going out, Lao Cao said to his lover.
"Okay, I get it, don't drink so much."
The two people quickly walked out of the gate. Lao Cao closed the gate smoothly and took Fangyuan to the east.
After walking about 1,560 meters, Lao Cao turned around and entered an alley, and Fangyuan quickly followed.
Not far after entering the alley, Lao Cao patted the door of a house and shouted: "Master Qi, open the door."
"Who?"
"It's me, Lao Cao."
"Oops! It turns out to be Mr. Cao, please come in quickly, please come in quickly." A middle-aged man opened the door and said.
"Master Qi, you're welcome."
Lao Cao hugged the middle-aged man Lao Qi and then went in. Fangyuan could only follow.
This Lao Qi's home is not big, not even as big as Lao Cao's house, but his house is old at first glance, at least older than Lao Cao's house.
"Fang Yuan, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Qi."
"Hello Master Qi, good luck to Master Qi." Fangyuan said, imitating Lao Cao and clasping his fists.
"Oh! I can't take this seriously."
Although Lao Qi didn't know Fangyuan, he had heard of the name, because he also ate the meat that Fangyuan sent to Lao Cao.
"Master Qi, you don't need my introduction, right?" Lao Cao pointed at Fang Yuan and said.
"No, no, no."
Although Fangyuan was surprised why Lao Cao didn't introduce him, he didn't ask. Since Lao Cao didn't introduce him, he had his own reasons.
"It's like this, Mr. Qi. Fangyuan prefers those older furniture. I know you have a lot of them at home, so I brought him over to have a look."
"Looking at old furniture? What's so good about that thing? It's better to buy a new set of furniture."
"Master Qi, it's like this. I want to collect some of these old furniture and put them away. Maybe I will open a furniture factory or something in the future. I need the craftsmanship on these old furniture."
Although I feel that Fangyuan’s idea is a bit whimsical, isn’t it a joke to open his own furniture factory? Because now individuals are not allowed to operate at all.
Lao Qi thought so, but he still said: "So that's what happened! Well, look at what you see here, just give me the same one later."
Lao Qi thought that Fangyuan was a bit whimsical, but Lao Cao didn't think so. In Lao Cao's opinion, others might say this as whimsical, but for Fang Yuan, this is not a problem at all.
Some time ago, meat was in such short supply that even butcher shops could no longer supply it, yet Fangyuan could still get so much. What does this mean? It means that Fangyuan has a way.
"I said Master Qi, aren't you being difficult? Where can he go to find a carpenter to build furniture for you? I think so! I've given you the money to build furniture, so you can find someone to do it yourself." Lao Cao said to him.
Lao Qi said.
When Lao Cao wanted to come, Fangyuan was so busy, so he had time to find someone to make furniture for him.
Otherwise, Lao Cao still knows Fangyuan a little bit. To be honest, Fangyuan really doesn’t have the time to buy him new furniture.
You must know that buying a piece of furniture only takes a few minutes, or ten minutes, or at most two or three hours, but buying a piece of furniture takes more than a few hours.
PS: Sorry, I proctored the exam yesterday and had a busy day. I took the time to code the words, so the update is a little late. I’m really sorry. Please forgive me. I’m sorry!
