After a while, the door opened, and it was the old man with a senile appearance.

"Grandpa Suo!"

As soon as the door opened, Hua Yourong called out.

"Oh, Yourong is here too!"

Seeing Hua Yourong, the old man smiled.

Hua Yourong smiled sweetly, "Yeah, I just wanted to visit Grandpa Suo. Since Mom came, I followed to see you!"

"Alright, alright!"

The old man said happily.

Then he looked at Su Ling, glanced at Yang Xiaole, and nodded slightly, "Alright, come in and talk!"

After speaking, he turned around and walked inside.

Su Ling gestured to Yang Xiaole, "Come in!"

Then she led the way inside.

Yang Xiaole naturally followed.

Hua Yourong closed the door behind them and caught up.

This was a quadrangle courtyard that had not been greatly damaged. Upon entering, there was a screen wall, and turning left, there were a total of five rooms.

After passing through the hanging flower gate was the main hall, with east and west wing rooms on both sides, each with three rooms.

This was a quadrangle courtyard with two entrances.

There was a pomegranate tree and a vine trellis in the courtyard, with a vine chair and a tea table underneath.

There was also a cage hanging from the tree, with a mynah bird inside.

Yang Xiaole looked around the courtyard and saw a weapon rack in one of the wing rooms, with two long spears about three meters long. This confirmed his guess.

As the saying goes, "A lifetime of spears, with a staff and a knife in between!"

However, this saying does not refer to the spear technique of the Flower Spear, but rather the large spear.

A spear is seven feet long, a staff reaches the eyebrows, and a large spear is one zhang and eight cun long. How long would it take to master a pole that is over three meters long, let alone the various clever changes of such a long weapon?

Not to mention whether the old man was skilled in using the spear, it remains to be seen!

But for now, let's sell the meat first.

The old man led the way into the main hall.

There were two yellow rosewood circle chairs directly above, with a tea table in the middle.

On both sides below were two pairs of yellow rosewood circle chairs.

There were antique cabinets and shelves with many good things placed around.

After Yang Xiaole came in, he stared at the chair. This was a good thing!

But what puzzled him was that according to the specifications of this house, there shouldn't have been such good furniture before, right?

"Old Master! There are no outsiders, you don't need to make tea."

Su Ling looked at the old master who was about to make tea and quickly said.

The old man paused when he heard this, stopped his hand, and nodded, "Alright, I'll spare you today."

Then he sat down on the circle chair at the top.

After Su Ling sat down, she spoke, "Old Master, this is Xiaole!"

"Mm!"

The old man looked at Yang Xiaole sitting there and nodded lightly.

Then he listened quietly and gestured for her to continue.

Su Ling repeated what Yang Xiaole meant.

"...What would you like to order?"

The old man glanced at him and said indifferently, "Meat is fine, but if it's not enough, forget it. You can sell it on the black market next door. After all, it's nearby."

Yang Xiaole thought about it. It was easy to buy tickets here since it was so close to the black market.

Hua Yourong, who was beside him, smiled and said, "Old Master, you're not honest! Last time I brought you fish, you said it tasted bland..."

"Yourong! Watch your words!"

Before she could finish, Su Ling sternly stopped her from speaking.

Seeing the expression on her mother's face, Hua Yourong stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to speak anymore.

Yang Xiaole, on the other hand, thought for a moment and didn't want to beat around the bush anymore.

It was tiring to pretend to be someone he wasn't.

If it works, it works. If it doesn't, forget it!

He directly said, "Old Master, actually, I also mean the same thing. If you want too little, we can sell it on the black market."

Don't you like pretending?

I'll pretend too!

In fact, his original intention was to occasionally come and deliver some meat, let his family see that he could be trusted even without going to the black market.

But Su Ling said he had a broad network.

Then let's see.

"Hmph! Quite interesting!"

The old man laughed and looked at Su Ling, "Xiao Lingling, tell me about the incident when you were saved that day."

He didn't care about buying meat.

He was worried that this little kid had impure motives!

Before Su Ling could speak, Hua Yourong next to her spoke up and explained what happened that day.

After listening, the old man pondered for a moment before asking, "Do you want to make a one-time deal or a long-term partnership?"

"Of course it's a long-term partnership! Every month, but I can't come every day. At most once a week or every two weeks, because I still have to go to school."

The old man placed one hand on the tea table and lightly tapped his fingers, thinking for a while before saying with a grand gesture, "Since it was introduced by Xiaolingling, then let's do it this way. You can deliver fifty catties of meat every month, and I won't haggle over the price. The market price is one yuan and five jiao, and we'll follow the market price in the future. Can you do it?"

The money wasn't much, but pork was rare these days!

He could buy it on the black market, but there were risks involved. Getting caught was a small matter, losing face was a big deal.

Yang Xiaole pondered for a moment. Seventy-five yuan a month was equivalent to two to three times the salary of an ordinary worker.

It was already a lot.

But looking at the expression on the old man's face, Yang Xiaole wanted to tease him.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "Alright, let's settle it this way. Although it's not much, at least it can digest some."

When the old man heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

It was too chilling.However, he was taken aback. This kid had some backing!

In those days, getting 50 jin of pork or even more wasn't a rare occurrence. One could hunt a wild boar in the mountains or get some from the meat union factory.

But having this much every month was indeed extraordinary.

Su Ling looked at Yang Xiaole, her face filled with disbelief. She had thought it was wild boar hunted by the villagers in the mountains!

If it was every month, then it definitely wasn't.

Coupled with his behavior today, she suddenly felt like she couldn't see through him.

Only Hua Yourong was looking at him with admiration, saying his speech was so imposing!

Seeing the expressions of the others, Yang Xiaole gave a bitter smile. He wanted to hide it, but considering there were many more interactions to come.

It was too tiring.
