Chapter 203 Si Ningning’s plan

Si Ningning followed him into the living room and looked around casually. He noticed that there was a small bamboo bed under the window diagonally opposite the table. A little girl of four or five years old had a pillow towel on her belly and was sleeping with her mouth pouted.

It's sweet.

She should be Zhang Yuemei's granddaughter. Si Ningning vaguely remembered someone mentioning it last time.

Si Ningning didn't look at it much, put the watermelon on the table, picked the basket before sitting down.

At this time, Zhang Yuemei brought an enamel jar from the kitchen and handed it over cheerfully: "In the past two days, my granddaughter has been complaining about the heat and she doesn't want to eat, so I made some mung bean soup... Little comrade, you can drink some too, and let's dry it all the way.

Aren't you tired now that the sun is shining?" Zhang Yuemei said cheerfully.

"Thank you, auntie."

Si Ningning thanked her, but the enamel jar was placed on the table without moving.

What's the saying? Don't eat anything given by a stranger.

The first is to be vigilant, and the second is that he just had a full stomach in space, and Si Ningning couldn't hold anything in his stomach at the moment.

If this was a glass of water, she could take a polite sip, but it contained mung bean soup. If she drank it and couldn't finish it, it would be a waste.

If others are willing to give, it may be out of their own intentions, so of course they can accept it.

But it doesn't matter at that level, choosing to refuse is a discipline formed by Si Ningning's excellent education since childhood.

"I was lying in the room just now, and I heard the voice below sounded familiar. I opened the window and took a look, and I didn't expect it was really you." Zhang Hongmei sat down opposite Si Ningning, and her eyes occasionally glanced at the table on the table while explaining.

Watermelon, what did she think of? She swallowed her saliva and looked nervously and excitedly at the basket beside Si Ningning's legs. "Little comrade, what did you bring this time?"

"Ha..." Si Ningning smiled politely, uncovered the seal of the basket on his back, and let Zhang Yuemei take a look inside without hesitation, "Last time my aunt said she wanted meat, I paid special attention to it, and this time I got the first chance.

I got a portion, but it’s not much, just three kilograms…the rest is just a little milk powder.”

The three kilograms of meat that Si Ningning then took out were oily pork belly.

Zhang Yuemei's eyes widened when she saw it. She had an exaggerated smile on her face, and even the skin at the corners of her mouth twitched with joy, "Okay, okay, okay, little comrade, you, you are really capable!"

Last time, Zhang Yuemei just said it casually, but she didn't expect Si Ningning to actually get meat for her.

It had been a long time since she had eaten meat. Zhang Yuemei couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She tried her best to suppress her excitement and asked Si Ningning, "Little comrade, how do you sell this meat?"

Zhang Yuemei was cruel and made up her mind. As long as the price was not outrageous, she would take all the meat!

"Auntie, there are several grades of pork in the meat joints in the market, ranging from 70 cents to 80 cents. You should also know the price of meat on the black market. Last time we said we were doing long-term business, I didn't give it.

If you tell me more, I'll just follow the regular black market price, two yuan and two per catty, see if that works," Si Ningning said.

"What?" Zhang Yuemei was stunned.

"Two yuan per pound." Si Ningning said calmly, and after a while he said: "This is already the lowest price. If Auntie wants it, just take it. If you still think it's expensive, then there's nothing I can do about it."

Si Ningning said, grabbing the black cloth to cover the basket.

Zhang Yuemei hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop it, "Hey, little comrade, please don't... Auntie doesn't think it's too expensive. Can Auntie not tell the quality of the meat you sent?"

Si Ningning stopped and heard Zhang Yuemei breathe a sigh of relief and continued: "Auntie was shocked just now. This meat can be sold on the black market for 2.4 yuan or 2.5 yuan. It's convenient for you, Auntie."

Know."

"Auntie, all this meat is gone. Please check the scale again. And the milk powder you mentioned, is it from the small bag next to it? How do you sell the milk powder?"

"Milk powder costs 2 cents per bag. They are all good products from big cities." Si Ningning handed the bag to Zhang Yuemei and asked her to weigh it herself. Then she opened a bag of milk powder and handed it to Zhang Yuemei.

Zhang Yuemei took it and could smell the rich smell of milk before she even got it close to her nose. She immediately knew that what Si Ningning was getting was good stuff.

Zhang Yuemei said: "Give me two packs of milk powder too! No, three... oh five packs!"

"Okay."

Zhang Yuemei passed the scale smoothly, and after confirming that there was no problem, she started counting the money in front of Si Ningning.

After all, we are a working-class family. Unlike the dime bills given by those on the black market, the money Zhang Yuemei gave Si Ningning included two full-dollar bills.

After collecting the money, Si Ningning glanced at the little girl on the little bed by the window and said: "There is no sugar this time, so let's give the watermelon as a bonus for my sister."

After finishing speaking, Si Ningning had already lifted the back of the basket.

At first, he would carry the watermelon over in a big way, just as a pretense. Now it is difficult to explain when carrying it away, and Si Ningning doesn't think it is enough to carry it in a basket.

In this era, all the fields are used to grow food, and a few brigades will open mountainous areas to grow fruits and vegetables as a side business to meet the expenses of other projects of the production team.

Economic crops such as watermelons and peanuts are relatively rare species because ordinary people are not willing to buy them.

Si Ningning had a rough understanding of it, but since Zhang Yuemei was so easy to deal with, she didn't want to be restrained.

In addition, there are many watermelons grown in space and the yields are high. Subconsciously, Si Ningning feels that watermelons have devalued and are not worth anything.

"How is this good?"

She is a person who knows how to make a living, and would always think of searching everywhere to save some money and come here. However, Zhang Yuemei feels that she always benefits from the chance transaction with Si Ningning, and she always takes advantage of other places.

Zhang Yuemei suddenly felt embarrassed, but she did not refuse anymore. Instead, she asked Si Ningning to sit down and wait, and then entered the room. When she came out, Zhang Yuemei had an extra package in her hand.

"One code equals the other. You are an honest child. It's not easy to do this business, and my aunt won't take advantage of you." Zhang Yuemei stuffed the oil-paper package into Si Ningning's basket, and took advantage of the situation to help Si Ningning.

He carefully covered the cloth at the mouth of the basket on his back, "I usually work in the factory, and I am the only one with my granddaughter at home. I am at home basically every day... If you accept the door, if you have anything next time, I will come directly to my door.

."

This time, Si Ningning didn't refuse. She thanked him and left with the basket.

As soon as Si Ningning left, Zhang Yuemei used her own scale to weigh the meat. No surprise, it was three pounds and two taels...

Zhang Yuemei was overjoyed, but after the celebration, she felt a little complicated. She thought that when Si Ningning came back next time, she would have to find something from other places to subsidize Si Ningning.

To achieve long-term benefits, both sides need to be protected, and it is not necessary to take advantage of one side.

Si Ningning came out of the family building and headed to the rubber factory.

Hericium is here, Gu Yang and his group’s main reselling channel is the rubber factory, so naturally they are here,

Si Ningning's purpose this time was not to resell. She just wanted to sell a few kilograms of meat, so she left first with the basket on her back.

The group of people at the back door of the rubber factory had almost finished selling, so Gu Yang and others climbed over the wall and left. Heitou was short and not that capable. He packed up the empty basket, collected the money in the basket, and planned to return the same way, but the result was that

Just after turning the corner of the alley, the monkey head paused suddenly, "Dongdong?"

Si Ningning put her arms around her shoulders and leaned her back against the wall. She had just finished chewing a chocolate bean in her mouth. When she saw a figure in her peripheral vision, she lazily turned her head and said, "Yeah."

Si Ningning had been roasted by the high temperature and couldn't work up her energy, so she relied on the wall to gain strength. Little did she know that her appearance was reflected in the monkey's eyes, turning her into a cool person.

The monkey scratched his head and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Si Ningning put away her laziness and said, "Speak somewhere else."

The monkey head took a breath and became serious. He looked around the alley, nodded to Si Ningning and said, "Follow me."

Si Ningning followed Heitou, originally thinking that Heitou would take her to some hidden corner, but she didn't expect that after twisting and turning in the alley, the two of them appeared at the back door of the scrap station.

Si Ningning frowned suspiciously, but he saw the monkey head curling up his fist and knocking on the door in three long and two short directions, and knocked regularly. When there was an opening to open the door, the monkey head turned around and said in a pretentious manner: "I will only bring you the door if I can trust you."

When you come here, don't turn around and sell me out. If you sell me out, Brother Yang and the others won't let you go!"

Si Ningning nodded hesitantly. The small wooden door opened at this moment, and the old man in charge of the scrap station stuck his head out, "You little brat, how dare you run here at this time..."

When the old man saw Si Ningning, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence and glanced at the monkey's head in surprise and hesitation.

The monkey head smiled mischievously: "Uncle, this is my brother, you can definitely trust him! I will bring him over to say something, and then leave after I finish speaking!"

[Uncle: Uncle Yitong.]

The old man at the scrap yard glared at Heitou, and secretly scolded Heitou for being a stupid boy for not being vigilant and letting everyone know about their relationship the first time he brought someone here.

But after all, there was an outsider like Si Ningning present. The old man at the scrap yard didn't say anything. He opened the door a crack and turned sideways to let them in. During the process, he warned: "Just say it in the cubicle. After that, leave quickly. It's broad daylight."

There are so many people coming and going, you are really..."

"I know, I know!" The monkey waved his hands and was not willing to listen to his chatter. He pulled Si Ningning across the pile of rotten wood and entered the small cubicle, closing the door with a "snap".

"How did you grow?" The monkey head turned around and glanced up and down at Si Ningning, who was half a head taller than him, "How do you grow so tall and have such thin wrists?"

As he spoke, the monkey head stretched out his hand and pinched his index finger and thumb together to form a circle.

Si Ningning's heart convulsed and she said displeasedly: "I have something serious to tell you, why are you talking about all these crooked things?"

The monkey reacted quickly, shaking his head from side to side and scanning, "I, don't I just have a chat?"

The compartment is very small. Apart from the small door, there is only a long air vent that is 40 meters long and 20 meters high. The entire space is airtight and dark.

After looking around, the monkey head bowed and randomly pulled out a few pieces of old newspapers and spread them on the floor, motioning for Si Ningning to sit down, "I usually put things here occasionally. The conditions are poor, so don't dislike it!"

When Si Ningning came over, Houtou actually had some guesses in his mind.

After Si Ningning sat down, Monkeyhead sat cross-legged opposite Si Ningning, folded his rough hands together, and rubbed them nervously and excitedly, "Say it!"

The insiders are quick-witted and can guess the clues with their monkey heads. Si Ningning is not surprised at all.

It was not convenient for her to show up. Since she had decided to find someone to do the work for her, she had nothing to hide now.

Si Ningning went directly to the topic: "I have the goods in hand, but I don't have much time to go out and move around. I want to ask if your pocket is big and how much can you eat?"

"Ah, this..." The monkey pursed his slightly thick lips and scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"You don't have to feel embarrassed." Si Ningning observed the monkey's expression and continued: "If you are worried that the goods will be in your hands, we can talk in another way."

The monkey took back his hand and asked: "In what way?"

"I'm responsible for supplying, and you're responsible for selling. I'll tell you my price. As for how much you add to the final transaction price, as long as you sell it, it's all yours."

Si Ningning calculated in her mind that Hericium could make a profit from her by collecting rice at 50 cents per catty, and there would naturally be profits in other areas as well.

Moreover, these transactions are carried out against the trend, and they are said to only take "gross profits". Is it really only "masses' profits" that end up in the pocket?

As expected, Hericium perked up as soon as he heard this, "Is it real or fake? What do you have in your hand? How do you calculate the price?"

"I have all the channels for rice, noodles, Fuqiang flour and refined wheat flour."

You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others. Si Ningning left a way out in her heart and did not say that these things were her own, only that they were channels.

If the monkey head is still smart, or there is a bigger figure behind her, for the sake of long-term interests, they will not touch her easily.

Not only will he not touch her, he may even choose to protect her secretly.

"Meat and cloth are also available, but these two channels are not stable yet. If you can stabilize it, I can fight for it in the future. As for the price, it will be based on what I usually sell on the black market." Si Ningning said calmly.

.

The monkey head wrinkled its caterpillar-like eyebrows and made rapid calculations in his mind.

The things Si Ningning brought were of high quality, and if he resold them, they could be sold at prices exceeding the black market price. But the problem was...

"Can you guarantee the quality of the goods?" Houtou asked seriously.

Si Ningning nodded, "Yes."

After a long silence, Si Ningning deliberately lowered her voice and added: "They are all goods from big cities..."

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat inscrutable voice, "You know."

When the phrase "big city" hit my ears, the monkey's eyes towards Si Ningning changed.

In just a few words, Heitou's suspicion was completely confirmed. Si Ningning indeed had a big backer behind him.

Otherwise, how can goods from big cities be transported to such a small place through layers of checks?

The more he thought about it, the more excited Heitou became, and he immediately made a decision, "Okay, I'll do this!"

"But my ability is limited on my own, can I get Brother Yang and the others to join the gang?" Hou Tou said, looking at Si Ningning cautiously, "Those three brothers may not look easy to mess with, but in fact their life is very miserable... otherwise...

I won’t sacrifice my life to do this.”

The purpose of reselling Hericium is to make money to support the family, but the Gu Yang brothers are desperate to do this business, desperate to survive, and the situation is different.

But because the three brothers were bold and united, the reselling business started quickly. Heitou had been taken care of by them when he first entered the industry. Now that there is a way to make money, Heitou immediately wanted to help them.
