Seeing how seriously Ye Beiping was speaking, Grandpa Qin also began to consider whether it was worthwhile.
After a few seconds, he finally looked like he had suffered a great loss, pointed at Ye Beiping and said, "Hmph, forget it, forget it. If it weren't for the fact that you're new here, I definitely wouldn't have lent you the money. Five cents it is."
As he spoke, he spread his hands.
Ye Beiping wasn't an ignorant person, so he immediately searched his pockets and found only a five-yuan note.
Upon seeing the money, Grandpa Qin snatched the five yuan and said, "I see you're not staying here for just one day, so this five yuan plus the one yuan from before will cover four days' rent."
Forehead......
Ye Beiping felt like he'd swallowed a fly; he was utterly speechless.
However, he did not argue about it.
Six yuan for four days is already a much better situation. If you stayed in a state-run hotel, six yuan would only cover two nights' room fees at most.
Now we can stay a couple more days, which saves us money.
A short while later, Grandpa Qin came out of his room on the first floor, took a thin quilt and handed it to Ye Beiping, saying, "There's no mattress, but since you're not using it, take this as a mattress."
"Thank you." Ye Beiping touched it, no longer thinking about wanting anything expensive.
Having a mattress would be nice, so I can sleep more soundly at night.
In the sweltering summer, there's no need for blankets or anything; it's good enough if it's not hot.
Holding the thin blanket he had rented from Grandpa Qin, Ye Beiping returned to his room.
He glanced at the Jiang brothers, who shared a room with him, and then made up the bed.
Noticing that the other three people all had mats, Ye Beiping felt somewhat helpless.
It seems I've done something stupid again, and been fooled by Grandpa Qin. In the middle of summer, without a cooling mat, wouldn't I die of heat at night?
I'll only be staying here for a few days, so I guess I'll just have to make do with this for a few days.
Those who travel abroad often fail to think things through. Even those who have been reborn never considered this situation, knowing that in their previous lives they could stay in hotels anywhere, and hotels had everything they needed.
For now... I'll just have to make do. I haven't traveled far much in this day and age, but I'll know next time.
Ye Beiping thought about it and immediately prepared to find a place to eat something and then buy some toiletries.
But as soon as I stepped out the door, I was patted on the shoulder.
"Hey bro, getting ready to head out?"
Ye Beiping turned around and saw that it was Jiang He, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Being in a foreign land and suddenly having someone tap you on the shoulder can be quite startling.
"Yes, are you going out too?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang He peeked into the room and pursed his lips, saying, "My brother won't let me run around. Could you bring me a pack of cigarettes?"
As he spoke, he prepared to take out money from his pocket to give to Ye Beiping.
Ye Beiping frowned slightly at this.
I was surprised to find that Jiang He was incredibly generous. We had only known each other for less than half an hour, and he was already offering to give me money to buy cigarettes.
No wonder Brother Jiang is so strict with Jiang He.
With this kind of personality, how can you not suffer when you encounter someone with ulterior motives while traveling?
"Why don't you come out with me? I'm just going to get dinner and buy some toiletries, I'll be right back." Ye Beiping thought for a moment, then continued, "There shouldn't be any danger if the two of us go out, right?"
Jiang He paused for a moment before taking out the money, then smiled at Ye Beiping, hesitated for a moment, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go together."
It wasn't that Ye Beiping didn't want to take them along, but since they had just met, taking someone else's money would definitely cause problems for Brother Jiang if he found out.
Especially in this era, although loyalty is more important than money, it's normal to have an innate hostility towards strangers like Brother Jiang who is often out and about.
The two reached an agreement and soon went out for dinner together.
When Ye Beiping walked onto the street, he realized that Wencheng was indeed quite different from other places.
Although private business licenses can now be issued, it takes time for the policy to be implemented at the local level, unlike in my previous life, where policies issued today were implemented almost nationwide within seven days.
Given the current state of communication, it would take at least six months for a policy to be fully implemented at the local level, even in county towns, let alone in rural areas.
But now Ye Beiping saw a street where many places were open for business, including not only snacks but also many general stores.
Especially food and accommodation; there are many along the street.
It's obvious without even thinking that these shops don't have proper business licenses; they're probably all run by people with connections.
Just as Ye Beiping was observing, Jiang He suddenly laughed and said, "Ye Beiping, you're not here to Wencheng for the first time like me, are you?"
"Um?"
Ye Beiping was taken aback. Had he made it too obvious?
"This is indeed my first time here. Is it yours too?"
“Yeah, right.” Jiang He said familiarly, “My brother has come many times, but this is the first time I’ve come with him to make big money.”
When the topic of making big money came up, Jiang He appeared very proud.
This caught Ye Beiping's attention, and he frowned slightly.
Make a lot of money?
Judging from the conversation, the Jiang brothers don't seem to be very educated. They don't buy goods in Wenzhou to sell back in their hometown. So how do they make big money?
"What do you and your brother do?" Ye Beiping immediately regretted asking the question, realizing it was impolite, and quickly changed his words, saying, "If it's inconvenient, then don't say."
"fine."
Jiang He waved his hand casually and laughed, "You ask me, I don't know either. My brother didn't say either, he just said it's a way to make a lot of money."
