Ye Zhiqiu was a little confused. He didn't even know anyone there! Why did someone suddenly come looking for him?
"I'm here. Who is it?" But he still answered, got up, opened the door and walked out.
Ye Wubing stood at the door, pointed at it and said, "Brother, there's an old man looking for you! He said he wants to go shopping with Ye, so mother asked me to come and call you."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and walked towards the door. He saw Wang Xiaolan talking to an old man. The old man was holding a small black dog, which was chubby and probably weighed about five or six kilograms.
Ye Zhiqiu asked doubtfully, "Master, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"You're Purchaser Ye? You look so young! Well, I want to sell this dog to you. None of the villagers in Sanlitun Village want to keep dogs. So, let me come over here and see if you, Purchaser Ye, would keep a dog!"
The old bitch at home gave birth to eight puppies at once! I really can’t support so many, so I can only sell a few to others to raise, rather than letting them starve with me.”
It turned out that he was a dog seller, and the people in Sanlitun also showed us the way. He must be from a nearby village.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Wang Xiaolan and could see that this cheap old lady really liked the dog, but she was a little hesitant, so she simply asked him to come out and make the decision.
At this time, Ye Wubing ran out with Ye Bailu. Strangely enough, this little black dog had been trying to please Wang Xiaolan the whole time. After seeing Ye Bailu, he whined and barked, then started wagging his tail wildly to show his affection to her!
Ye Bailu was not afraid either. She ran over and touched its head. It obediently stretched its head out for her to touch!
Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Master, this dog is really smart! He knows who to please! How much do you want to sell it for? Considering its close relationship with my mother and sister, I'll buy it from you if it's not too expensive!"
The old man grinned and replied, "Purchasing Ye, just give me one dollar. I'll buy some offal to nourish my old bitch at home."
It can be seen that the old man is a dog lover and he is not selling the dog for money, so he offers this price.
"That's fine! I'll take the dog. Don't worry, sir. Our whole family will treat it well!"
"That's good, that's good..."
After receiving a dollar from Ye Zhiqiu, the old man gave a few instructions on feeding the dog. He then gave the rope to Ye Zhiqiu, looked at the little black dog, and left quickly.
The little black dog, who was being played with by Ye Bailu, seemed to sense something and ran in the direction the old man had left. However, the rope in Ye Zhiqiu's hand prevented it from escaping, and it started to cry out in a baby voice.
Until the old man disappeared, the little guy was still struggling and screaming miserably!
Wang Xiaolan picked it up with both hands and said to Ye Zhiqiu with emotion, "Big brother, you have lost your memory and have forgotten our family's affairs. When you were one year old, our family adopted a little black dog similar to this one.
When you were eight years old, Lao Hei died. You cried so hard that your second son cried with you, and only fell asleep after crying himself tired! We didn't dare to keep a dog after that, for fear that something like this would happen again.
Today, when the dog saw me, it wagged its tail vigorously, which reminded me of Lao Hei..."
Strangely enough, the little black dog stopped barking when Wang Xiaolan picked it up like this.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know there was such a thing, but it was the original body crying, not me! I am a dog lover, even though I love dogs in a restaurant.
This little black dog is lucky because Ye Zhiqiu doesn’t eat his own dog!
"Alright, since we're destined to be together, let's keep him. We just need someone to look after the house and guard the gate!"
Ye Wubing said at this time: "Brother, what house is this little guy looking after, what gate is he guarding?"
"Well, if it can't guard the house anymore, you can do it, okay?"
"Then I won't do it. I'm not a dog!"
"Why aren't you a dog? You can't even spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!"
At this time, Ye Bailu interrupted the two of them and asked curiously, "Brother, is this dog delicious?"
Ye Zhiqiu's heart skipped a beat and his eyes twitched. Why does this girl want to cook everything she sees?
Wang Xiaolan smiled and said, "My dear, this dog is not bought to be eaten. It is bought to play with you and to accompany you as you grow up!"
Everywhere this little girl looks, she sees food! Even such a cute little dog can't dispel her desire to eat meat! This silly little dog is trying to please her, but she doesn't know that this little girl is the most cruel person...
Ye Zhiqiu tied the straw rope to the side, and Wang Xiaolan put it down. He then circled around Ye Zhiqiu, wagging his little tail to please him.
I guess because he was holding the rope, he recognized him as the new owner. This little guy is quite sensible!
After teasing the puppy for a while, Ye Zhiqiu said something to Wang Xiaolan and went out.
He sneaked over to the village canteen and saw the village accountant in a room, not knowing what he was writing, so he simply walked in.
He took out a cigarette and handed it over, saying, "What are you busy with, Accountant Zhao? Come and have a cigarette!"
Accountant Zhao looked up and saw Ye Zhiqiu. He smiled, took the cigarette, asked for a match, lit it and started smoking.
After taking a puff, he asked, "Purchasing Ye, what brings you here at this time?"
Ye Zhiqiu did not hide anything and directly stated his purpose.
"Accountant Zhao, this is what's going on. My family just moved to the city from the countryside, and we don't have much cooking oil at home. I was wondering if I could buy some oil for my family here under the guise of purchasing it?"
Accountant Zhao frowned and thought for a moment. After checking that there was no one outside, he whispered, "Purchasing Manager Ye, it's not that we can't sell the oil, but the fixed amount you buy is 80 cents per pound. We don't sell it to others at that price. It's 2.5 yuan per pound!"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded. This was the same price as when he went to the black market, also 2.5 yuan per pound. He bought two bottles at the time. He used one bottle for cooking at home, and actually had one bottle left in his space.
He quickly asked, "The price is fine, but I wonder how much you can sell it to me for? The two of us can only support a family of five, and without enough oil and water, life will be really hard!"
Accountant Zhao looked at Ye Zhiqiu with a half-smile, and thought to himself that Ye Zhiqiu was indeed a man of few words!
Ye Zhiqiu didn't realize it at first, but when Accountant Zhao looked at him like this, he immediately understood!
"Accountant Zhao, I'd love to have as much oil as possible! I'm young and not very sensible, so how can I thank you for your help?"
Accountant Zhao raised his eyebrows. Purchaser Ye finally came to his senses!
"Tell others that the price is 2.3 yuan per pound. If that's possible, I can send 20 pounds of peanut oil to your home tonight."
"That's absolutely no problem! Then I'll be waiting at home tonight with the money ready."
"Around half past nine, don't lock the gate, I'll be there when the time comes."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and smiled, and the two of them returned to their normal voices, chatting about random things. After a while, he left.
