Chapter 173 Half Root

"This meat is good, this meat is good!" Zhou Cuihua nodded fiercely, "Little comrade, how much does this cost per pound?"

This silly woman... started boasting before she even knew the price. How could she bargain for it later?

Yang Yun twitched the corner of her mouth and quickly pushed away Zhou Cuihua's hand holding the basket, "Do you want a vote for this meat?"

"I just happened to be passing by and heard that my sisters-in-law are in need. I won't say anything else. If my sister-in-law plans to buy it, I will give her an honest price. The pork is one yuan and eighty one catty, no fee. The pork suet is one yuan and ninety one catty."

This time Yang Yun couldn't hold it any longer and asked in surprise: "Is it true?"

She had actually been to the black market that Zhou Cuihua mentioned just now. She had met people selling meat somewhere before, but not much. They were all in small pieces. They were basically lean meat and looked like meat.

The processed products cut from the joint shop are the same.

And the price is not cheap. Generally, the price depends on the time, usually between two yuan and two yuan.

Look at the meat in the basket of the young man in front of you. It is fatter and thinner, and it is so oily that your mouth is already drooling just by looking at it.

But when she thought of something, Yang Yun glanced at Si Ningning up and down, and saw that Si Ningning was not very old, only a teenager at most, and she probably had little experience in reselling.

After pondering for a while and questioning, Yang Yun said: "The meat on the black market is only two pieces, two yuan and a pound, how can you buy it so cheap? The difference is several cents per pound, it can't be sick pork dragged from somewhere?!"

As soon as Si Ningning heard this, she understood what the other party meant.

This was because I was tempted when she said the price was cheap, but I still wanted to lower the price.

Si Ningning directly pushed away Zhou Cuihua's hand that was pulling up, covered the basket with fabric, frowned and was about to carry the basket on her back with an unhappy face, "Look, sister-in-law, you are right, don't think about me because I am young.

Are you fooling me? Don't forget it! I'll send it to my sister!"

"Oh! Why are you so anxious, little comrade?" Yang Yun was anxious and quickly pulled Si Ningning back, "I want it, I want it! I owe you this..."

After saying that, he patted his mouth twice, glanced at Zhou Cuihua and Si Ningning, and said quietly: "Go to my house? It's just around the corner on the first floor!"

This is a family building. Most of the men are not at home, so the possibility of accidents is very small.

Si Ningning thought for a moment and nodded.

The three of them quickly moved to Yang Yun's house. According to Yang Yun's request, Si Ningning took out everything in the box one by one.

Fifteen pounds of meat, four pounds of suet, ten small bags each of milk powder wrapped in greaseproof paper and brown sugar.

The meat was weighed by Si Ningning in the space last night. One piece weighed exactly one pound, and holes were cut into it and skewered with pigweed vines in the space.

After placing the meat, Si Ningning put the scale she just bought aside and let them weigh it themselves. This made them feel more at ease and saved her trouble.

Zhou Cuihua neatly ordered two kilograms of suet and one kilogram of pork. Yang Yun, on the other hand, repeatedly selected from more than a dozen pieces of meat.

Si Ningning was in a hurry and said: "Sister-in-law, this meat is the same whether it is fat or thin. You know the price of pork on the black market, and you can definitely see that my meat is better than the meat on the black market, not worse."

This is indeed the case.

Yang Yun felt a little embarrassed, so she picked out five pieces of meat and asked Si Ningning to count the money.

Zhou Cuihua on the side asked with wide eyes: "Yang Yun, why did you buy so much? Can you handle the heat?"

"Why can't you let it go? I'll cut the fat ones separately and boil them in oil. I'll go back to my parents' house in the afternoon and give one to my parents."

When Zhou Cuihua heard this, she looked at the suet in her hand and suddenly felt that it didn't smell good.

Yes! This meat is rich in fat, and the fat meat can also be cooked in oil!

Thinking about it, Zhou Cuihua looked at Si Ningning sheepishly, "Comrade, can I return my suet? Can I buy two more kilograms of meat?"

"Okay!" Si Ningning nodded, since he hadn't paid yet.

Zhou Cuihua returned the pork suet and ordered five pounds of pork. She and Yang Yun each paid nine yuan.

"It's hot today. It's going to stink if you carry such good meat out on your back. Do you think this is okay, little comrade? If you're not in a hurry, I'll go out and ask you how many good sisters I have.

You can also buy some." Zhou Cuihua said.

Si Ningning nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble my sister-in-law!"

Zhou Cuihua gave the money and then opened the door and went out.

Yang Yun scraped everything together, and she only managed to get seven or eight yuan from her hands, which was a bit embarrassing.

I was just about to discuss it with Si Ningning, otherwise I would have lost a piece of meat.

Si Ningning saw that her embarrassment was not a lie, so she thought for a moment and said, "Sister-in-law, your family member works in a textile factory, right? Do you have any cloth at home? You can handle anything, it's worth it."

"Yes, yes! Just wait." Yang Yun sent the meat to the kitchen, wiped her hands repeatedly with linen cloth, then walked into the room, rummaged under the wardrobe in the room for a long time, and pulled out a roll of slightly yellowed linen cloth, "

Do you think this is okay?"

Linen is inferior cloth and is usually sent to supply and marketing cooperatives by textile factories.

This type of cloth has a single color and is very thin. It is generally used as a processing cloth and is sold at supply and marketing cooperatives for 4 cents per foot, free of charge.

Si Ningning made a visual inspection and didn't say anything about comparing.

When Yang Yun saw that Si Ningning didn't ask her to make up the money, she actually felt a little bit embarrassed in her heart, feeling embarrassed that she had gotten a big advantage.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Yun said: "Little comrade, your meat is really good. You can help my sister-in-law, and she will also help you. Please don't talk for a while and just look at my sister-in-law's eyes. Can you do that?"

Although he was a little confused and didn't know what was wrong with the woman in front of him, Si Ningning still nodded.

Zhou Cuihua quickly brought back several women, some older and some younger. As soon as they entered the house and saw the meat on the ground, their eyes lit up.

"How is it? Am I right?" Zhou Cuihua said proudly, as if all the meat was hers.

While everyone was looking at the meat, Yang Yun pulled Zhou Cuihua aside. After a few words to confirm that Zhou Cuihua had not mentioned the price, Yang Yun told Zhou Cuihua her thoughts.

Zhou Cuihua was a little hesitant: "Isn't this bad? Everyone in the neighborhood..."

"What's wrong?" Yang Yun said "tsk", took Zhou Cuihua and glanced at Si Ningning, and continued: "We have already taken advantage. If the sales are better, this little comrade will come here in the future.

You can definitely get more discounts!”

Zhou Cuihua's heart was moved, "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Si Ningning sat on an old chair nearby, drinking the cold drink that Yang Yun poured for her, and watched the two women who had reached an agreement sing and act in harmony:

"Pork is two yuan a pound, and suet is two yuan a pound. Hurry up! How long will it take if you don't take advantage of such a huge advantage?"

"That's right, my nephew is leaving soon!"

Since the pork brought by Si Ningning sells well and the price is indeed much lower than that on the black market, with the praise of Yang Yun and Zhou Cuihua, the remaining five kilograms of meat and four kilograms of pork suet were quickly sold out.

Even small packets of milk powder and brown sugar are sold in large quantities.

After sending those people away, Si Ningning counted the money tickets. He originally wanted to give some to Zhou Xiaocui and Yang Yun, but the two of them had the same attitude. They both waved their hands and refused to take it. They told Si Ningning to come down and come back.

, just give them a little more convenience.

Si Ningning agreed wholeheartedly, but sighed in her heart: She probably won't come to this place a second time.

Coming out of the family building of the textile factory, Si Ningning took the thirty-seven yuan and sixty cents he had just earned and asked for the address of the family building of the slaughterhouse, but this time Si Ningning did not intend to sell meat.

The families of textile factory workers usually do not lack cloth, and the families of slaughterhouse workers are not so greedy because they can eat it occasionally. However, they are just like ordinary people and have basically no way to obtain cloth and milk powder.

Si Ningning found a corner, put the cloth he had collected last night into a basket on his back, compacted it tightly, and then walked towards the family building of the slaughterhouse.

The most time-consuming part of last night's cleaning was weighing meat and cutting fabric. The skewering of meat was relatively easy, but cutting cloth was really a disaster. It was difficult for one person to do it alone. Si Ningning had to cut several pieces of cloth before he gradually got started.

Regarding the price of the fabric, Si Ningning originally wanted to sell it at a price of sixty cents per foot, free of charge, but just after a brief chat with Yang Yun at the textile factory's family building, Si Ningning learned more.

Therefore, the price of fabrics has also been adjusted to a certain extent.

The fabrics in the space were all bought in the fabric city before traveling through time. They are available in various colors and styles. There are thick fabrics used for curtains, and there are also soft and breathable fabrics used for bedding, such as tablecloths with a texture that is easy to use as table decorations.

Fabrics are also available.

Although the materials are different, the quality is the same.

Si Ningning priced them at 80 cents, 1.5 yuan and 2 yuan per foot respectively.

Compared with the prices of goods in today's era, this price may sound outrageous at first glance, but when you think about it, you don't need to pay, and if you put the quality on display, let people see it with your own eyes, touch it with your own hands and feel it, you will still buy what you should buy.

Si Ningning took the opportunity to leak something at a corner of the family building of the slaughterhouse. Immediately, someone sneakily came up to ask. As Si Ningning had expected, some people turned around and left as soon as they heard the price, and some people touched it.

After that, I bought several feet, and even some of several different designs and colors.

"This color is beautiful. My eldest daughter is getting married at the end of the year, so it's just the right choice for her."

"Hey, what are you doing when you marry a girl and buy it so easily? Why don't you take it to your husband's house and make it cheaper? You, you, are so stupid!"

"Fuck you, what does my love for my daughter have to do with my husband's family? I bought this for my daughter. Whoever wants to make this idea will first see if I agree with the butcher knife in my hand!"

The bald guy who was buying fabrics got into an argument with the tall, skinny guy.

Si Ningning didn't want to make the matter a big deal and attract attention, so she rummaged under the basket, pulled out half a piece of fabric that had been cut crookedly, and handed it to the bald head. After that, she calmed down the matter and said, "It's my daughter's own pain. I agree."

Uncle, if my daughter is wronged, she has to step in to help. Otherwise, if you say this is the first time of indulgence, there will be a second time?"

The tall and lanky man was in charge of cleaning the internal organs at the slaughterhouse. He knew that the bald man was the one who killed the pigs, and pig killing was also a technical job. He knew that he was not as tough as the other person behind the scenes. The tall and lanky man nodded and agreed with a smile, "Yes, yes, yes.

In fact, this is what I mean too!"

The bald man snorted, took the half piece of cloth that Si Ningning handed over and carefully put it away, then smiled like Maitreya Buddha with a shiny face, "This cloth is a good thing, boy, I won't take it for nothing."

It's yours. I just got a basket of big stick bones from my place. Do you want it? If so, I'll give you half the basket!"

There is fresh pork in the space, and if you want to eat the stick bones, you can "dig" them first. But for ordinary people these days, pork stick bones are also a good thing. It would be a fool to refuse, which would easily arouse suspicion.

Si Ningning said, "How about a dare? Uncle, give me two sticks. I'll take them back and give them to my wife."

Without saying anything, the bald man walked ahead with his hand raised, signaling Si Ningning to follow him.

Si Ningning followed behind for a while. After turning the corner, there were several Chinese locust trees scattered on both sides of the road. There was a lot of garbage piled under one of the trees. You could vaguely see the black marks burned by the fire. It should be like this at ordinary times.

A garbage dump where garbage is piled up in a family building.

Si Ningning only glanced at it and then looked away without paying much attention. But when he passed by there, the garbage pile suddenly made a "crash" sound, and a man stood up, "Comrade Fang, you are finally back!"

The man was dressed in rags, his clothes were almost earth-colored and had nearly a hundred patches. He squatted in the garbage and instantly blended into the garbage. Si Ningning didn't even see that there was someone there just now. The other person suddenly stood up, which was really scary.

She was so excited that she jumped three feet high on the spot.

"I'll go..."

Si Ningning patted her chest and cursed uncontrollably.

The bald man walking in front of her was also startled. After he saw the people in the garbage heap, the bald man let out a "tsk" and was quite impatient, "Why are you here again? You said you are a lesbian, so slovenly, forget it.

, I always mess around in this place..."

Only then did Si Ningning realize that the man dressed like a beggar called "Comrade Fang" was referring to the bald man in front of her.

And judging from the bald head's reaction, the two of them seem quite familiar?

The two of them were talking, but Si Ningning didn't interrupt and just listened silently.

"Comrade Fang, I haven't been here for a few days. Do you have any stick bones here today? Can you give me some? I, I..." Comrade Beggar glanced at Si Ningning, paused before continuing: "

I didn’t come empty-handed this time.”

As soon as these words came out, Si Ningning roughly knew that the other party's purpose was similar to hers, except that she came to sell things, while others came to buy things.

This woman dressed like a beggar has unkempt hair and looks ugly, but judging by her voice, she looks to be in her thirties or forties. From the appearance, she looks quite downcast and does not look like a wealthy owner.

And it’s all like this. Wouldn’t it be nice to have some money to buy rice and grain? Come here to buy stick bones?

Si Ningning thought and shook her head.

It’s better not to overgeneralize. It’s possible that someone needs this because of something.

The bald man sighed worriedly, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, I have a stick today, but I promised others first."

As he said that, the bald head glanced at Si Ningning, and then continued: "I have to keep some for myself. Let's do this. I don't want your money anymore. I will allow you half this time."
