The Great Era of Siheyuan

"What do you mean? You don't admit it, right?"

Fan Jinyou's face looked a little grim.

Li Wenqiang looked at him with a sneer. This guy still thought he could control him like before!

"What you said is both an excuse and a denial. I don't think I owe you anything, do I?"

Li Wenqiang spread his hands and said something puzzled.

"You, you are such a jerk, are you? Just wait for me, I will report you to the subdistrict office and the police station for illegally reselling vegetables and disrupting the unified purchase and marketing."

Fan Jinyou said viciously.

"Then go ahead. See if they listen to you or me. Besides, you've taken a lot of my stuff, haven't you? What will happen to you if the leaders behind you are implicated?"

Li Wenqiang said with disdain.

Fan Jinyou was speechless. Not only did he not take less, he also made a lot every day. He earned as little as 10 cents per pound of vegetables, and as much as 20 or 30 cents. He earned 100 to 200 pounds a day. In just two weeks, he made at least 200 yuan, which was much more than his salary.

Li Wenqiang continued.

"It's okay if you want to continue doing this, but you have to listen to me from now on! Think about it carefully, do you want to continue making money, or do you want to go against me. If you want to make money, then be obedient. If you want to go against me, then you can report it now!"

Li Wenqiang ignored him and started drinking. There was no beverage available, so beer was good enough. As for soda, it had too many hormones, saccharin and sodium cyclamate, so he had no interest in drinking it.

The two of them whispered to each other and lowered their voices deliberately, not afraid of being heard by others.

Fan Jinyou was a little conflicted. He wanted to agree but couldn't bring himself to do it, but he also couldn't bear to refuse. He just froze there.

"What do you want me to do? I'm the public manager here, I won't do anything illegal or criminal!"

After struggling for a while, Fan Jinyou finally compromised. After all, in addition to making money, this job would also make him look very capable in front of his leaders and leave a good impression on them.

"That's right! Fan Jinyou, you must remember your identity and understand your position. Don't create trouble for yourself. Go check who the bannermen here are, what their families did in the past, and who that Master Niu is closest to. Then compile a list for me."

Li Wenqiang paused after he finished speaking, and then continued.

"As a reward, you can take away all the vegetables in the backyard later. The price is the same as before. Later, you can take a small notebook to those leaders to record the accounts and ask them to register and sign themselves, one page per person. Those without signatures will not be sold. Write down how many vegetables you sold to whom and how much you sold each day and give it to me next month."

Li Wenqiang didn't want to keep him at first, but then he thought that if he could rely on Fan Jinyou to drag the entire street office into the water, it would be a good idea. Thinking of this, he decided to keep him.

"What do you want to do?"

Fan Jinyou frowned, wondering why he wanted these things.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't. Have you made a lot of money recently? Don't think I don't know how much money you've made. I can find out by just asking. If you want to make money with me, you should be honest in the future. If you agree, you can go to the backyard to get the things now."

The corners of Li Wenqiang's mouth raised, revealing a smile.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Fan Jinyou hesitated for a few seconds and then agreed.

"That's right! There's an old saying that goes, 'He who knows the current situation is a hero.' We are old acquaintances. If you listen to me, I will help you make a fortune. Isn't that great? Don't forget to help me investigate the bannermen here later."

Hearing his agreement, Li Wenqiang smiled even happier. If he could easily get hold of the subdistrict office leaders, it would be a great bargain.

"Wait!"

Fan Jinyou left directly after he finished speaking, somewhat unhappy. He knew in his heart that this matter was probably not a good thing, otherwise why would he register.

But I am in a difficult situation now, so I should change my leader's impression of me first.

Li Wenqiang is now trying to win over certain leaders while grabbing their small braids. Only when you are strong can you be the hard truth. What a bullshit backer. When it's time for others to sell you out, they will sell you out much more happily than you do.

When Li Wenqiang was halfway through his drink, Uncle Niu finally arrived, walking towards him with a stack of books in his hands.

"I brought the things here. How about these?"

As Uncle Niu was about to open the door, Li Wenqiang stopped him. From the moment he entered the door, Fan Jinyou's eyes had never left him.

"Don't stay here, go outside!"

Li Wenqiang said this and took him out again.

Walking to a remote corner, Li Wenqiang opened the books and saw some old books with yellowed exteriors. It was obvious that they were quite old. They were all hand-copied medical books and prescriptions.

Li Wenqiang took a casual look and praised it.

"Yes, I think the leader will definitely like it. If you still have these books, I can guarantee that you will have more benefits. For example, it won't be a big problem to get you some grain, oil and meat."

"Really?"

When Mr. Niu heard this, he was overjoyed.

"Of course it's true. Tell me, how do you want me to deliver it to you? Or should I send you two thousand kilograms at a time like before?"

Li Wenqiang was very happy after receiving the medical books and prescriptions. They might contain prescriptions and medical books that have been lost in later generations. If he accepted them now, he would have a unique business in the future.

"Can you give us some food and oil this time?"

Uncle Niu asked tentatively.

"Rice and flour are 2.5 yuan per pound, and peanut oil is 5 yuan! If you can get some medical books, skills, or unique recipes next time, I will give them to you next time."

Li Wenqiang said with a smile.

"Well, I'll go back and look for you again. I hope you're still the same this time!"

"Okay then! Go get it tomorrow morning!"

After they agreed, they left.

Back in the car, Li Wenqiang looked at the various formulas in his hand and felt extremely happy. He wanted to collect more of them in the next few years to prevent them from being lost.

After he has finished his work, he can find a respected doctor, preferably the dean, to cooperate with, and organize an activity for paid donation of recipes and publication of a book. Then he can collect a large number of recipes.

Li Wenqiang felt like he was a genius, with a global vision. In this era, there was gold everywhere and he could make a fortune by doing anything.

Although he does not understand Chinese medicine, as long as there is a unique formula in it, he can make a lot of profit from it and monopolize this technology.

After putting his things away, Li Wenqiang prepared to go and see how Chen Xueru was doing. It had been a few days and he didn't know if she had found a chef yet.
