Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

"Are you talking about the old man Wang who was threatening to die a while ago?"

"Yes, it's him. Do you think they are in the same group?" Wu Changshun scratched his chin.

"Don't tell me, it's possible."

"Who is Old Man Wang?"

"Oh, a while ago, about two months ago. He came to our office to report a case, saying that he was defrauded of his money. It turned out that this old man Wang..."

Old man Wang didn't have much money to begin with.

The truly amazing one is his son.

After the individual economy was liberalized, those who really made money were not those who stayed in one place, but those who dared to travel around the country.

During this period, various laws were not yet mature.

Even if you buy cigarettes at point A and take them to point B to sell them, you can earn hundreds of dollars in one trip.

In the old city, there are countless watches, clothes, pants and other things coming from Hong Kong.

As long as it is something new, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it in this city.

If you have the guts, you can carry a package of goods from the south, trade it a few times, and you can make a few hundred yuan or tens of thousands of yuan. As for more, you need to have some connections with the railway to make it.

Of course, there are risks involved.

This risk does not come from official sources.

But it comes from blocking the road.

Nowadays, if you don't have a little kung fu, you really can't go out. The big guys have real weapons in their hands. Moreover, when they strike, they are extremely ruthless. They are all aiming to take people's lives.

These cargo transporters are not much different from the people who traveled around the country in ancient times.

The risk is high, but as for the profit, it depends on personal insight.

Therefore, most ordinary people are unwilling to go out and do things.

For example, if you ask the uncle to go out, they will hesitate for a while, because they have really experienced the chaos of war. Therefore, in the city of Beijing, such a small group of courageous people can make money, and they make a lot of money.

"Old Man Wang's son made a fortune in the south. He was a filial son. After he came back, he renovated the house and bought Old Man Wang a bicycle. He also left a lot of money for Old Man Wang. We only found out about this later. Old Man Wang had a full 30,000 yuan at home."

In this era, a household with an annual income of 10,000 yuan is already wealthy enough to be reported in newspapers.

It’s just that after 85, due to inflation, the value of a millionaire has gradually decreased.

"So what's their method?"

"do not know."

"what?"

"I just don't know." Wu Changshun sighed: "Old man Wang said that one day, he was on the street buying vegetables and was hit. As a person of the older generation, it was natural that he felt very sad when his bicycle was hit. Who knew that the other party was so generous. He got off the bike and apologized, repaired the bike, and gave money. After this back and forth, the two sides started chatting."

"After asking around, I found out that he lived not far away. Old Wang didn't take it seriously. Later, he met him several times again. Old Wang didn't know why, but he gave him the money without knowing why."

The corner of Cao Wei's mouth twitched slightly.

The legendary bewitching water appeared.

Rumors from the 90s to the 00s.

As long as they smell this magic potion, they will tell others everything, including their bank card passwords.

This matter was later proved to be nonsense.

The main reason is that the victim is unwilling to admit that he was deceived because of greed. If he admits it, it will be fine if he can find it back, but if he can't, then it will be a big trouble. And the probability of not being able to find it is very high, so the rumor of the soul-bewitching water or soul-bewitching incense appeared.

At first, most people didn't believe it, but later on, this good excuse gradually spread, and with so much detail and evidence, everyone gradually began to believe it.

"Hey, Master Cao, you have to be careful about this matter. We don't know what method he used." Wu Changshun said seriously.

"Well, I will be careful. I'll have to trouble you to help me check Ye San's background."

“Hey, this is what we should do…”

In a large courtyard not far from Samadhi Tower.

"Hey, Ye San is back? Hey, what happened to that thing you talked about last time?"

"Hey, Auntie Fatty, we have to wait for a while. I estimate it will be at the end of the month. I will give you definite news at the end of the month."

"That's fine, that's fine, at the end of the month." Aunt Fatty continued to smile: "Have you eaten yet? Come over to my house for some food?"

"No, no, my old man has cooked."

"Okay, then you're busy."

The fat aunt returned to the house with a smile on her face.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his old man smoking a cigarette. He glared at him unhappily and said, "Can you be quieter? Learn from Ye San. He has only been back for a few months, but he already drives a motorcycle."

"Just drive it, that's his ability. I'm telling you, stop complaining all the time. Life now is much better than before." The old man didn't care and continued smoking.

"Look at what you have accomplished. Ye San said that at the end of the month, there will be a business deal that can be done by people in our courtyard as a partnership. When the time comes, our family will participate."

"What business?" The old man was also curious.

It would be a lie to say that I wasn't tempted. Ye San made a lot of money as soon as he came back. It would be a good thing if I could get involved in this.

"I heard that a batch of watches were shipped back from the south, and they said they would like us to help sell them."

"Wow, that's a best-seller, how much can you give us for it?"

"It's not expensive for this amount." The fat aunt made the number "eight".

"Eight dollars? So cheap?! It costs at least fifteen dollars outside!"

"That's right. Otherwise, Ye San is a good man. He makes money with us neighbors. Hey, old man, how much money do we have left?"

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't take all of it."

"Come on, forget it. I want to buy them all. Ye San has to be willing. I can see that he has made money outside. He came to the yard and was afraid that we would be jealous, so he helped us. This can make money, but I guess he won't give us too much. An eight-dollar watch can be sold anywhere."

"You're right, that's the truth." The old man thought about it, nodded, stood up and walked into the inner room.

"What are you going for?"

"I'll pay you."

"I know where you put your money. I'm asking if you have anything else."

"Anything else? That's all. We've been married for so many years, and you still don't know me?"

"Okay, then don't bother yourself, I'll buy it myself when the time comes."

"You are so amazing! You think my box is just a decoration?!"

"So what! I'll marry you..."

"Okay, okay, don't be so long-winded. It's up to you, whatever you want."
