The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Master Niu, is it really that serious? How can you go hungry when you have money?"

Li Wenqiang didn't believe what he said at all. The reason why he was worried was definitely not because of food. Without him, he would at most eat less. What's the big deal? Didn't he go through this before?

"The problem is that I have money but no tickets, and even if I have money and tickets, I can't buy the right food. It's far worse than what we have here!"

Niu Ye forced a smile and complimented him.

"It's definitely not going to be better than mine. I heard Xu Huizhen say you were looking for me. What's going on?"

"My son was kidnapped!"

When Mr. Niu doesn’t speak, it’s fine, but when he does, he makes a big splash.

Li Wenqiang was speechless. He was kidnapped. If he was kidnapped, call the police! Why call him? He is not here to maintain world peace.

"If you've been kidnapped, then go find the government. Why are you looking for me? I'm not a policeman. How can I take care of this?"

Li Wenqiang didn't even want to complain. He was not a god and their relationship wasn't that good. Why should he help him?

"Comrade Li Wenqiang, it's not that I don't want to call the police, but if I do, they will kill me. I only have a few sons, and I can't let anything happen to them! Please, have mercy on us and help us!"

Uncle Niu pleaded with Li Wenqiang.

"Tell me what's going on first. Why is someone kidnapped for no reason? It's really interesting that you come to me instead of the police!"

Li Wenqiang asked curiously after complaining.

"Didn't you say last time that you could let my son go to the countryside to exchange grain for old items? This time, I went to a village in Fengtai to exchange things, but I don't know what happened and I was kidnapped. The day before yesterday, the kidnappers sent me a letter, asking me to bring 2,000 kilograms of grain to redeem my son. Where can I find so much grain now? After thinking about it, I think only you can help me!"

Uncle Niu smiled bitterly, obviously he had no way to deal with this kind of thing.

"How do you want me to help you?"

Li Wenqiang said lightly.

"I don't want to trouble you, I just ask you to sell me the food as soon as possible!"

Uncle Niu didn't waste time and spoke very directly.

"No problem, how much do you want?"

"Give me 10,000 kilograms! I'll buy more at a time so I don't have to look for you later, and other people also need to eat."

After getting Li Wenqiang's reply, Niu Ye made a huge request.

"Not that much, only about three thousand. If you want it, pay for it. I'll pick it up at the same place tomorrow!"

Li Wenqiang disagreed. Vegetables and grains are different. Taking out so much at once, regardless of whether it was true or not, who knows if there are other things behind it! It's not a state-owned factory. There are people behind it. Maybe the Eight Banners behind it are playing double acts.

This time he clearly felt that the matter behind the scenes was not simple, and there was something strange behind it. He had just said that he could exchange food for old items, but his son ran away to the countryside and was kidnapped? Normally, wouldn't he quietly purchase a batch of goods nearby, but after he passed them on to other people here, wouldn't he go to a distant place when there were no more good things?

His sixth sense told him that there was definitely something wrong, so he rejected him without hesitation.

"You'd better not make trouble. It's best to trade honestly. Otherwise, robbing money is much more profitable than doing business!"

Li Wenqiang thought fiercely in his heart.

"Okay, okay, okay! I'll get the money for you now!"

Uncle Niu paused for a moment, then turned and walked into the house.

After a while, he came out with four small yellow croakers in his hands, looked around carefully, and then handed the things to Li Wenqiang.

"This is the payment for the goods. You can give me as much as you want. The more you pay, the better! My son's life is in your hands!"

Uncle Niu said excitedly.

"Okay, just wait and get the goods tomorrow morning!"

After Li Wenqiang took the things, he flipped his hands and the things disappeared. He strode out and disappeared in the yard in a short while.

After Li Wenqiang left, Niu Ye stood there, not knowing what he was thinking. There was a look of relief in his eyes. He sat back in the recliner, closed his eyes and took a nap.

“There’s something wrong with this person!”

Li Wenqiang jumped down from the wall, thinking to himself.

How could a normal person have the mood to just lie at the door when his son has been kidnapped for a few days, and not go find someone to prepare for tomorrow's transportation after knowing that the "ransom" problem has been solved?

Just now he went out and came back again, running to the other side of the courtyard wall to check his movements and expressions. Although the night made it difficult to see clearly, that was for others. Although he looked a little different from the daytime, he was also very clear.

"If you dare to plot against me, I will send your whole family to hell!"

Li Wenqiang has always only half believed in the characters in the play. Few people who can be called "Master" are generous and frank. If they were generous, he would not have gotten to this point and would have died long ago! As for the house, he was too lazy to even ask!

After getting a sample at the porcelain shop and learning that the rest of the goods were already being made, Li Wenqiang left a few tile samples to the shopkeeper.

"Take these samples and try to make a batch. I'll give you the money you deserve. But don't get the style and color wrong. They must be simple and elegant, and most importantly, the color shouldn't be too bright."

"Well, I can only give it a try. We mainly produce glazed porcelain, blue and white porcelain, shadow blue porcelain and other bottles and jars."

The shopkeeper said with some embarrassment.

Now the production tasks are basically what they produce and sell according to what is set by the superiors. However, they also accept custom orders, but such situations are basically rare and there are only a few throughout the year.

Moreover, tiles are generally produced by the Xindu Brick and Tile Factory in Xisanqi, which also provides bricks and tiles for the Great Hall.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Wenqiang had worked with him before and didn't seem to be joking, he would definitely have thought about it carefully.

"Just give it a try. If it works, I'll order from you in the future!"

Li Wenqiang said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll take your order, but I'll have to wait until next week to do it. My orders are all full right now, so I can't say exactly when it will be done!"

The shopkeeper hesitated.

"No hurry, take your time. It's all right, I'm leaving now. When the things are done, send me a message and I'll have someone pick them up. Just send this number and tell him they're mine!"

Li Wenqiang wrote down the phone number of the Security Department's office. Wang Jianjun was quite free, so he could just ask him to pass on a message to him. There were people on duty at the Security Department 24 hours a day, so it would be a waste not to waste this good opportunity.

"okay!"

After finishing the matter here, Li Wenqiang didn't rush back. He still had a cheap wife in Dahongmen!

Choi Soo-ah and her cheap father-in-law have the least presence. It was purely accidental that they were together in the first place. They were just forcing themselves to eat an unripe melon.

After several contacts, I feel that she is quite nice, gentle, pretty and cute, like a little white rabbit.
