Siheyuan: Starting from Retirement

Long Zhan put the things into his space on the way.

He thought there was a free market here, so he might as well go there.

There are dozens of markets in the capital now, but they will be closed in the second half of the year. They have only been open for more than a year.

He arrived while thinking all the way.

The market was also very lively.

Long Zhan sat in a wheelchair and looked all the way.

He stopped in front of a seed stall.

"Old comrade, what do you want? I have all kinds of grain seeds and vegetable seeds."

"Do you have tea seeds?"

"Hey, old comrade, this is the first time I see someone who wants tea seeds. I really don't have any, but there is a stall selling saplings in front. Why don't you go and ask, maybe there are tea seedlings for sale."

Long Zhan smiled and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Long Zhan looked all the way and saw someone selling croton. After thinking about it, he put some into his space and put a few cents into the stall owner's pocket.

He asked three people selling seedlings in a row, but none of them had tea seedlings.

Just when he was about to give up, he saw a stall selling tea, so he went over to take a look.

"Old man, do you want tea? I have a lot of this kind, both high and low."

Long Zhan looked and asked, "Do you have tea seeds or seedlings?"

The stall owner was surprised to hear this: "Hey, you are the first one to buy seeds. This kind of tea tree is very demanding on the environment.

I do have some of this kind of seeds. I was curious before and thought about planting it in my own field, but it didn't work at all."

Long Zhan was also happy when he heard that there really was some.

The stall owner started to rummage in his bag and soon found two small paper bags.

"Hey, I found it, but it has been a few years. I can't guarantee whether it can be planted."

"Actually, I am curious too. Don't worry. It has nothing to do with you whether it works or not."

"That's it. This bag is for green tea seeds and the other is for black tea. You can pay 10 cents."

Long Zhan handed over the money and took the two small bags of seeds.

"Okay, then you are busy."

"Hey, take care."

After Long Zhan left, the stall owner shook his head and smiled, and continued to wait for the next buyer.

Long Zhan just moved his mind and planted half of the seeds on the remaining half acre of land.

In fact, he wanted to go to the mountains and dig up an old tea tree, which would definitely be of better quality.

He saw another person selling saplings, and he could tell at a glance that they were dug in the mountains.

"Boss, did you dig all these in the mountains?"

"Yes, comrade, what do you want?"

Long Zhan smiled and asked, "Do you know where there are old tea trees in the mountains?"

Hearing this, the stall owner became interested, "Hey, old man, are you going to pick tea?"

"Hehe, I heard that the tea from old tea trees tastes good, I don't know if it's true or not."

"Hey, I haven't drunk this either, but I did hear from the hunters in the village that there is an old tea tree on Wolong Mountain, growing on the edge of the cliff, and some old hunters in the mountains often go in to pick tea."

"Really? Then can you go back and ask me if the tree is big and if it can be dug out and carried down the mountain?"

When the stall owner heard this, he was shocked, this is directly eradicating the roots.

"Old sir, I really don't know about this, but even if it's possible, the money is indispensable."

Long Zhan smiled kindly and said, "I just want to plant something in my yard. I won't let you ask for nothing. I will give you 5 yuan for your hard work regardless of whether it succeeds or not. If they agree, let someone go to No. 95 Luoguxiang to find me. My last name is Long."

When the stall owner heard that there was such a good thing, he nodded repeatedly.

"Old sir, I will ask for you when I close the stall and go back to the village today."

Long Zhan smiled and handed over 5 yuan, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that the other party gave him the money just like that, he was also a little bit unbelievable.

"You just gave it to me like this? Aren't you afraid that I won't ask for you?"

"Haha, I just said that I will give you 5 yuan no matter what. If you don't help me ask, it means that it hasn't been done, and I don't have to worry about it."

"Old sir, don't worry, I will definitely do it for you."

"Okay, thank you."

Long Zhan smiled and left.

It is definitely not easy to get a tea tree from the mountain, so he just gave it a try.

If it works, it will be better.

If it doesn't, forget it.

He bought another bag of raw peanuts and melon seeds, and when he saw that there was nothing else he needed, he went back to the courtyard.

Yu Li saw Long Zhan coming back and quickly took down the two bags.

"Uncle Long, you bought so many peanuts and melon seeds."

"Hehe, yes, it's okay, you can roast them by the fire and eat them."

"Hehe, okay."

Long Zhan went back to the bedroom and changed his thick clothes.

Then he sat back down.On the chair, he began to make tea for himself.

Yu Li said: "Uncle Long, drink some tea, I'll go cook."

"Okay, go ahead."

Qin Huairu was a little jealous when she saw Yu Li starting to take care of Long Zhan.

But after looking at the situation at her home, she sighed.

It was another day off.

Yi Zhonghai went to the post office as usual.

After taking the letter, a staff member who was familiar with him asked: "Master Yi, is the projectionist of your steel mill called Xu Damao?"

"Ah, yes, do you know him?"

"Haha, he was beaten up before the New Year, and I happened to see it. Later, I told others that this kid did a lot of such things. You are from the same compound, right?"

Yi Zhonghai was angry about Xu Damao in advance. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have made him lose face in the compound.

But he still smiled and said, "Yes, and he lives in the same courtyard as me. This kid is just too young. His father beat him up a lot that time."

"Haha, he should be beaten a few times. By the way, he came here to check your letter records before. If I hadn't seen him being beaten that time and asked me out of curiosity, I would have forgotten about it."

"Ah?"

Yi Zhonghai was shocked, and then asked, "I only said it once. Did all the young people in the courtyard come to help me check?"

The staff didn't notice the change in Yi Zhonghai's expression.

He smiled and said, "Haha, it seems that you have a lot of prestige in the courtyard. Only two people came. He was the first one. After a while, another one came. I told you last time."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and exchanged a few words with the other party, then left with a grim look.

He returned to the courtyard with a heavy heart all the way.

Long Zhan sat in the house drinking tea, watching him come back, feeling a little strange.

Then he thought that he should have gone to the post office today. Did he find out that Xu Damao checked him?

I think it's very likely.

He also wanted to see what he did next.

And he also noticed the change in Xu Fugui's expression after he left last time. After such a long time, he didn't move.

It seems to be the calm before the storm.

Long Zhan thought so and continued to drink tea and read with a smile on his face.
