The Wizard's Journey Begins in a Courtyard House

Chapter 265 Yuan Zhi, Trusted

Chapter 265 Yuan Zhi, Trusted

By the time Li Qin and Yuan Zhi returned to Beijing with the purchased supplies, it was already getting dark.

The steel rolling mill had already closed for the day.

Li Qin naturally wouldn't insist on choosing this time, and he also delivered the purchased materials to the steel rolling mill.

Even if it's sent there, there's no one to handle it; it'll just have to be stored in the steel rolling mill first.

Li Qin pondered for a moment, then said to Yuan Zhi:

"Yuan Zhi, the purchase of these items today is basically all thanks to you, so just like the previous two days, they will be submitted in your name."

All you need to do then is give me proof of receiving the money.

Yuan Zhi had become somewhat accustomed to Li Qin's methods.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi didn't say anything more and simply nodded in agreement.

At this point, Li Qin continued:

"It's already a bit late today, so it's obviously not appropriate to send it to the steel mill. So, you can ride my bicycle and take the supplies home first."

It will be delivered to the steel rolling mill and put into storage tomorrow morning.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhi immediately showed a surprised expression.

He originally thought Li Qin would choose to take the items back to his own home, since he had done all the work when these items were purchased.

However, the money paid for the purchase of materials was all provided by Li Qin.

In this situation, it would be more appropriate for Li Qin to take the items back with him.

Yuan Zhi hadn't expected that Li Qin would actually let him take the things back.

He was even allowed to ride his bicycle back.

This was an immense sign of trust for him.

A flicker of emotion and gratitude crossed Yuan Zhi's eyes.

Li Qin ignored Yuan Zhi's thoughts and, seemingly worried that Yuan Zhi would refuse, directly shoved the car key into Yuan Zhi's hand after he finished speaking.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go home now so your grandma won't worry."

After saying this, Li Qin turned and left.

Yuan Zhi reached out his hand from behind, as if he wanted to say something.

However, he didn't say anything in the end, but the expression on his face was very complicated.

The reason why Li Qin so casually handed over the supplies and bicycle to Yuan Zhi was:

One reason was indeed that after spending a few days together, he had gained some understanding of Yuan Zhi's personality and developed some basic trust in him.

Besides, these things might be very valuable to ordinary people, but they were nothing to Li Qin.

Moreover, the bicycle still bears the magical mark left by Li Qin; if it were truly lost...

Li Qin only needs one Flying Spell to retrieve it.

Even without using the Summoning Charm, he has many other ways to retrieve the item.

In short, Li Qin wasn't worried at all about the things going to be lost.

"It's getting late, looks like I won't be able to make it to night school by the time I finish eating."

Walking on the streets of Beijing, Li Qin calculated the time.

Li Qin wasn't too worried about skipping class.

He has always been considered an outstanding student by his teachers.

I rarely skip class unless something comes up.

Although I didn't have time to ask for leave this time, I believe the teacher won't say anything.

Li Qin can explain the reason later.

"Since we don't have to go to class, there's no need to rush. We'll just have hot pot today."

Li Qin suddenly wanted to try some of the local delicacies in Beijing today.

After all, eating alone in a space can be a bit lonely.

After making his decision, Li Qin didn't hesitate at all and went straight to a time-honored copper hot pot restaurant.

This store was recommended by a colleague in the purchasing department.

They said the taste was very authentic, and Li Qin wanted to try it too.

The shop was conveniently located not far from where Li Qin was. After walking through a few streets, Li Qin arrived at his destination.

Having been in this era for several months, Li Qin has gradually become accustomed to some of the things happening in this era.

For example, ordering food, or talking...

Li Qin skillfully stated his needs in fluent local dialect and then paid the money.

Then we found a seat and waited for the food to be served.

Because Li Qin arrived after the peak season, there weren't many diners in the restaurant.

So the copper hot pot for simmering meat was served very quickly.

Next came, naturally, plates of mutton.

For Li Qin, who had no shortage of money or receipts, apart from a few side dishes, he ordered mostly meat dishes.

Finally, of course, we can't forget the classic Arctic Ocean soda.

As for where Li Qin's hostage came from?

That's incredibly simple.

Although Li Qin does not sell meat and other supplies on the black market, it does not mean that he does not go to the black market.

You should know that there are many good things on the black market.

Whether it's rare or unique books, treasured collections, or other things related to knowledge.

Li Qin was interested in them all.

When he went to the black market, if he encountered ticket scalpers, Li Qin would buy some tickets that interested him.

For example, coupons for fine wines, cigarettes, or meat...

Although most of the supplies Li Qin needed could be produced by the pagoda space itself.

However, sometimes, in order to avoid attracting attention, he still needs to buy things like a normal person.

Because he wasn't in a hurry, and Li Qin had ordered quite a lot of meat.

So it took him quite a while to finish his meal.

It was more than an hour later when Li Qin walked out of the restaurant.

"Indeed, if you want to eat truly authentic food in Beijing, you still have to ask the locals for advice."

As Li Qin walked out of the restaurant, his face was full of satisfaction.

I must say, the mutton hot pot at this restaurant is indeed delicious.

It could even be described as excellent.

This made Li Qin, that gluttonous fellow, very satisfied with his meal.

The price was a measly ten yuan and a few kilograms of meat coupons.

For an average family, eating such a meal would definitely cause them heartache for a long time.

But for Li Qin, it was a piece of cake.

Of course, if an ordinary family comes to eat hot pot, they won't eat meat the whole time like Li Qin did, with very few other dishes.

In addition, Li Qin's appetite was unusually large, which is why it cost so much money.

Li Qin didn't care about any of that.

For him, as long as he thinks the food tastes good and he enjoys the meal, that's all that matters.

It's worth spending any amount of money.

In Li Qin's own words, "I'm not short of money!"

This is indeed the truth.

All in all, Li Qin now has at least several thousand yuan in savings.

This doesn't even include the gold, silver, and other valuables.

If Li Qin needed it, he could quickly gather even more money in a very short time.

In modern terms, Li Qin has basically achieved financial freedom.

Unfortunately, there aren't many legitimate ways to spend money in this era.

In addition, a lot of money in Li Qin's possession is temporarily unusable.

Otherwise, people will become suspicious.

Therefore, most of Li Qin's money could only be stored in his storage ring.

Thinking about this, Li Qin couldn't help but miss modern life.

The main problem is that they have too much material enjoyment.
