Chapter 130 Guan Lihui

Unexpectedly, this trip to the tavern brought me unexpected gains.

Old man Li is indeed a character. Even big names in the field like Uncle Guan have received his favors.

It was Old Man Li's face that was at work. If Old Man Li was willing to let go of the arrogance he had in his youth and the Beijing-based virtue of being obsessed with face, he would never have fallen to the point of sweeping the streets.

It seems that old man Li needs to be reformed. It would be a waste of talent for a coach like him to sweep the streets!

The reason why he helped Old Man Li in the first place was to avoid being morally kidnapped by Yi Zhonghai;

Second, I felt compassion for Old Man Li’s family because I saw how difficult their life was.

I didn’t expect that this old man Li is actually a treasure. He is like the sweeping monk in the courtyard, and his network of contacts is incredibly wide.

He Yukai did not go home after returning to the courtyard. Instead, he took the pork head and peanuts he had packed from Xu Huizhen, plus the Maotai in the space, and went to visit Old Man Li to reminisce about the past.

The first purpose is to let Old Man Li take him to visit Uncle Guan's house, and take the opportunity to establish this connection and learn the knowledge of treasure appraisal from Uncle Guan.

The second purpose is to finalize that Old Man Li will be the coach for several of his family’s kids starting next year.

After the Chinese New Year, He Bing and He Qian will be five years old, and He Xiao will be four years old. It is time to start building the foundation.

Although you can't go too far, you can already start some simple movements.

"Old man Li, a guest has come to visit. You are a well-known figure, but now you are either working or staying at home all day. What are you doing?"

"Uncle He is here. Please sit down. Grandpa is in the inner room and will be out soon."

Old Man Li’s two granddaughters really like He Yukai. After all, it was He Yukai who gave them hope to continue their studies.

Usually this uncle gave them a lot of snacks, and Uncle He's younger brother, Uncle He Er, also liked them very much.

"Good boy, you haven't eaten yet, right? I came here on time to find your Uncle He and bring some steamed buns.

By the way, tell your aunt that I will eat here tonight, and then have a drink with your grandfather, so they don’t have to wait for me.”

"Okay, Uncle He"

The two girls ran out after hearing this. If we were to ask which family in this compound the two girls were most familiar with, it would undoubtedly be the He family.

After all, when their grandfather was not back, it was Aunt He who invited the two of them to dinner.

And there is Aunt Rainwater, I like them both too.

Who do they hate the most? It's undoubtedly Jia Zhang.

But he often scolded them both as money-losing goods, but he didn't dare to scold them when his grandfather was around. The two little girls were also sensible and never told their grandfather about such things for fear that he would get angry.

"Xiao Kai, today is not a simple day. The pork head, peanuts, pork skin jelly, and mixed shredded vegetables are quite rich.

Now let the two girls go, isn't this asking Zhuzi to go? I can still hear the hidden meaning, just tell me directly, what's the matter, there's no need to use these empty words in front of me."

Old man Li has watched He Yukai grow up, and he has a lot of little thoughts, nothing of which can be hidden in front of him.

"They say that old people become more intelligent, and it's true. How did you guess that?

We've been drinking together a lot in the past two years, so why do I feel like something's wrong this time?"

"Hey, kid, every time you come here to drink, don't you eat at home first and then bring food with you?
This time, the food was packed in from outside. It used to be Erguotou, but now it’s Moutai.

Wow, the standard of this meal is quite high.

Although I know you don't lack this.

But you won’t set such high standards every day, and this old man still believes it.”

"Well, I have to admit it. He is indeed a man who dominated the capital city in the past. Yes, there is something wrong.

I think you should just stop working at the street office. The kids in my family are not young anymore, and it’s time for them to learn some self-defense skills.

In theory, I can teach by myself, but after all, I am busy with mundane affairs and sometimes I would waste my time.

So I thought, since you are free anyway and you won’t make much money sweeping the streets, why not just help my boys build their foundations and take a look at their talents.

If it's okay, then your skills have not been lost, right?"

"I knew something must be wrong with you, but I didn't expect it to be this.

In theory, there is no problem with this, but if I stop working, that's not what other people will say.

Although everyone knows that you guys don't lack this thing, I'll teach a few kids in your family so that others can understand.

But there will always be people who feel unbalanced, and when the words reach me, I guess it won’t be the same.”

"Go your own way and let others talk!
You should not live your life under the words of others.

You teach my children skills and I help them solve their life problems. This is an equal exchange and there is nothing wrong with it.

And don’t quit your job as a street sweeper. I’ll find a way to transfer it to you. You can’t just give it up for nothing.”

"Okay, let's do this. The four boys in your family do have a good foundation, but Xiaoqian is not very good at learning my skills, you know that."

"Okay, Xiaoqian will be taken care of by her mother herself, so don't worry about that. If your two girls want to learn something, they can follow her!

You know this fucking skill, it's just right for girls to learn, and from now on your family will be living with mine."

"Okay, now that you've said that, I won't be hypocritical.

It is indeed time to pass on my skills, otherwise, they might be lost."

Old man Li doesn’t know yet that He Yukai’s attainments in Bajiquan are not low, he just doesn’t have much experience and doesn’t know how to teach.

At this time, He Yuzhu came in with a pot of chicken stewed with mushrooms, and two girls came in with nine-turn large intestines and steamed buns.

He Yuzhu immediately asked everyone to start eating. As for why the eldest brother wanted to see old man Li, He Yuzhu knew it very well.

Ever since learning about Old Man Li's deeds, He Yuzhu has been shocked.

He used to call himself the God of War in Siheyuan and thought he was invincible in Siheyuan.

But unexpectedly, there was a hermit here watching coldly.

He was still as smug as a clown, which made him ashamed.

Big brother is right. We should never be arrogant at any time. The masters are among the people.

"By the way, old man Li, do you know a tax collector from the Qing Dynasty? His nickname is Nine Gates Admiral, and his name is unknown."

"Oh, there was such a person. When I was still a kid, I once saw a man being dragged away by military police, and I saved him.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a real character. He looked a bit like a Beijing man and was obsessed with objects.

I also have some understanding and have communicated with him many times.

In order to collect the things left by our ancestors, I heard of his name from somewhere and wanted to ask him for help.

"It turned out that this guy was a stubborn person. He didn't want to be shot. I ran into him when he was arrested." "Today I went to Zhengyangmen and sat in a tavern for a while. By chance, I met this Uncle Guan. Later, I mentioned the story of the four enamel bowls you told me and showed off a little. I didn't expect to meet the real owner. He mentioned you and wanted to meet you."

"Now that you mention this, it suddenly occurred to me that you are interested in objects, aren't you?
I don't know about this guy's other abilities, but these two are very powerful. They are unique.

When it comes to identifying objects, no one I know can compare to me. I only know a little bit.

There is also wine tasting. You can guess what kind of wine it is just by smelling it. One day when I have time, I will take you to meet this old guy and see if you can learn some skills."

"That's great. I thought that these were things left by our ancestors and should not be wasted by people who didn't know the value of them. I was looking for someone to teach me how to run a restaurant, but you were unwilling to teach me. Now I have such a person, and I couldn't ask for more."

"It's not that I won't teach you, but I only know a little bit. If I teach you this, it will just be a waste of your money!

I took Zhuzi with me that day. The old guy is also a foodie and never owes anyone a favor. For a gourmet, Zhuzi is a unique weapon."

"Uncle Li, you're too kind. I don't have much talent, but when it comes to cooking, no one can beat me.

After hearing what you said, I will meet this so-called Nine Gates Admiral and see what kind of legendary figure he is that Uncle Li and my eldest brother admire him so much."

He Yuzhu has made great progress now. He is no longer so impulsive when encountering things and learns to think.

He had a good reputation in the steel rolling mill and had a good impression among the leaders. His fame spread slowly and many people invited him to host wedding and funeral banquets.

He Yuzhu followed He Yukai's instructions, spoke less, and made honing his cooking skills his top priority.

If I'm not sure about something, I'll go and ask the chef for advice. Together with studying He Daqing's recipes, I now have the skills of at least a level four chef.

He Yuzhu devoted himself wholeheartedly to his family and cooking, and did not get involved in the mess in the compound.

He also ignored Yi Zhonghai, and as for the deaf old lady? Now he didn't dare to target the He family, for fear of getting into trouble.

He became much more stable and calm, and old man Li saw it all.

He Yuzhu taught her children how to cook, and she and Lou Xiaoe were very close, stunning everyone around her.

Even He Yukai is a little envious of He Yuzhu now.

"Okay, with Zhuzi here, we can take down the Nine-Gate Admiral. It's reliable."

Then Old Man Li started talking about the cultural history of the capital, much of which could not be found in books, including miscellaneous gossips about unofficial history as well as stories of chivalry and tenderness.

The stories of the chivalrous knights in the past were fascinating to hear. After three rounds of drinks, it was time to end. They drank but did not drink excessively and they controlled themselves well.

He Yuzhu couldn't drink too much, after all, Lou Xiaoe was pregnant now, so they left happily.

He Yukai told his family about his decision, and his family expressed their support.

Because those who have experienced war know that it is always good to have martial arts skills. Besides, these naughty kids are becoming more and more energetic and difficult to discipline, and I am very tired all day long.

Old man Li's discipline is just right. The old man must have many tricks up his sleeve, and they can be liberated, so it's the best of both worlds.

As for He Bing and He Xiao, they were so happy that they almost jumped up. They had listened to He Yukai's stories about knights many times and had long dreamed of a life of traveling the world in fine clothes and on horseback.

It’s perfect to start building a solid foundation and strengthening your body from now on. Children always have endless energy, and you can’t bring your children to work every day, right?

If they were to play by themselves, they might end up being just like Bang Geng, making a lot of noise every day.

Today's Banggeng are still children, and no one thinks of them in a negative way.

But many people noticed that Banggeng had learned all of Jia Zhang's skills, and it was common for him to throw tantrums and roll around.

Many people in Siheyuan have incorrect values ​​to begin with, and once they are corrupted by others, it will be very difficult to change them.

It is better to find a respected person in advance and start teaching your child before his/her values ​​are established.

With four people working, they cannot watch the child every day no matter how old he is. If they don't watch him, he might get into trouble and learn bad habits. Parents all over the world are so pitiful.

He Yukai already had an idea for the arrangements for the next generation, and he had discussed it with Cai Wenqing and Lou Xiaoe several times and reached an agreement.

It is always right for children to learn something. When they are old enough to go to school, they should be strictly taught to study hard. Knowledge is the key to open the door to the world and should not be ignored.

When they come to an idea, they will have to take the college entrance examination again after the college entrance examination is resumed.

If you want to realize the grand blueprint in your heart, you can't do it alone. When the time comes, the children will be your powerful assistants.

Although He Yukai is a small figure who cannot change the general trend, wouldn't it be a wonderful thing for him to go with the flow and make a lot of money and develop the He family into a giant?

Indirectly drive economic growth, kill two birds with one stone.

"Wow, Xiaokai, it's Maotai again. It seems that you are very wild."

"Old man Li, we are here for their knowledge, we can't be too shabby, right?

Besides, you also said that this person is a wine lover. This is a 50-year-old Maotai that I got back with great difficulty."

"Xiao Kai is still generous, okay! Then let's go?

Zhuzi, do well today. This old guy has a wide network of contacts, which will be good for your reputation. Just wait and see."

Old man Li is no longer an invisible man. At least in front of the He brothers, he still reminds them as an elder.

After all, the two families are living together. Old man Li knows that misfortunes may come to people at any time. In case of an unexpected event, his two granddaughters are protected. He understands the He family.

Old man Li is much more relaxed now. In the past, he was afraid that something bad would happen to him in this courtyard full of beasts, and his two granddaughters might be driven out.

If she were kicked out, one can imagine what would happen to her granddaughter in this situation.

So he tried his best not to make enemies and lived in fear and depression.

Now that I’m living with the He family, all my worries are gone. I feel much better and my body feels lighter.

"Uncle Li, don't worry, there's no problem with my cooking skills. I always cook big pot dishes with great care."

"That's good. I don't need to explain the benefits of fame. It's good if you can understand it."

He Yukai took Old Man Li with him, while He Yuzhu rode his bike, and the three of them set off for Zhengyangmen.

When he got there, he had to find his uncle and ask for Uncle Guan's address. When mentioning Uncle Guan, He Yukai couldn't help but think of Han Chunming.

That kid is only about five or six years old now, right? He should be about the same age as my uncle's Xu Jingli.

That kid is also a character, with a business sense that others don't have, and he is a good seedling.

But the way he treats relationships is really disappointing.

But he is much better than He Yuzhu. Although he is also a bootlicker, he at least has a child when he is 50 years old.

He Yuzhu gave up his own son. Thinking about this and looking at He Yuzhu's anxious face, I wanted to beat him up.

The current He Yuzhu has not been brainwashed and looks pleasing to the eye. But if He Yukai's soul were to travel through time after Zhuzi had been brainwashed, I wonder if his legs would be broken?
He Yukai ruled out all the what-ifs in his mind. After all, it was something that was impossible to happen, so why would there be so many what-ifs?
This kid Han Chunming still needs to be reformed in the future, otherwise he will become his right-hand man.
