My courtyard shelter

"Boss, the milk is here, can you see if it's OK?" Yang Lina shouted loudly, mainly for the ears of her followers.

The shop owner opened the three cartons of milk and checked them one by one. After all, the amount was not a small amount, so it was right to be cautious.

"No problem, I'll get you a pig's head."

After getting the pig head, Xu and Dong did not leave immediately, but watched the shopkeeper bargaining with the second-rate dealers.

In the end, he sold three cartons of milk for 8,000 yuan.

"Boss, you're making so much money. You've earned an extra two thousand yuan by switching jobs." Yang Lina couldn't help saying sourly.

"Hi, I'm lucky today, thanks to you two for taking care of my business." The shop owner said politely, maybe because he felt bad about it, and finally gave me a thigh bone as a gift.

Only then did Yang Lina's expression soften.

"Boss, let's leave each other's contact information. Only you have meat, and I can bring you something in exchange at any time. I guarantee you won't suffer a loss."

The reason why Xu Dong insisted on giving up profits was because he actually planned to build a good relationship with the other party. After all, this was not a one-time deal, and there would be a lot of demand for meat in the future!

"No problem. Next time there is meat, I will be the first to notify you." The shop owner said enthusiastically.

Then the two parties exchanged phone numbers.

…

After visiting the store area, in addition to pastries and pig heads, Xu Dong and others also exchanged some dried seafood. A box of Deluxe was exchanged for a large bag, which was much more cost-effective than pig heads.

The two of them returned everything to the car.

While it was still dark, the couple visited the greenhouse area and street stall area.

There are four zones in total in the greenhouse area, and the conditions are much worse than those in the shop area. Apart from being able to protect from the sun, other aspects are no different from the street stall area.

Most of the businesses in the greenhouse area are small traders with little strength, or simply a gathering place for second-rate dealers.

The items sold here are quite miscellaneous, basically everything except valuables.

This also includes food, but the price is several times higher than the market price, and the quantity is not very large. Most people can only buy a few kilograms for emergencies.

In the past two months, the country has gradually tightened food sales channels. Now even large supermarkets have no access to purchase channels.

If you want to buy grain, citizens can only go to grain stores designated by the state to buy, and purchases are restricted based on your household registration book.

The monthly purchase limit for those over ten years old is thirty kilograms, and the monthly purchase limit for those under ten years old is fifteen kilograms.

Generally speaking, the food supply is still sufficient at the moment, but it is difficult to hoard it. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but it also requires a lot of energy.

The most indispensable thing at home was food, so the two of them strolled around for a while. Feeling that there was nothing good, they simply skipped the greenhouse area and came to the street stall area.

Many street stall areas are occupied by retail investors or individuals who set up temporary stalls. The rent here can be either monthly or daily.

While walking around, Yang Lina suddenly pointed to the front left and said, "Hubby, look, are there chickens for sale there?"

"where?"

Xu Dong followed his wife's hand and looked over, only seeing the surging crowd and nothing else.

"follow me."

Yang Lina led Xu Dong to squeeze through the crowd and came to an uncle's stall. As expected, there were two half-sized hens with their feet tied, which seemed to only weigh a little more than a pound.

The little hen must have been exposed to the sun all afternoon and is a little sick.

Several customers were haggling with the uncle, and the price had reached five thousand yuan, but the uncle still didn't let go.

Seeing this scene, Yang Lina quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Uncle, how do you sell these two chickens?"

An onlooker next to him answered on behalf of the uncle: "They don't want to sell me any money, I'm only willing to exchange them for baby milk powder, two chickens for one can."

When Yang Lina heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she immediately pulled Xu Dong aside and asked softly:

"Husband, do Dabao and the others still have extra milk powder? I remember you bought 100 boxes of it, right?"

"There is indeed a lot left. What, you want to exchange for these two hens? Let me tell you, milk powder is much more expensive than these two chickens. A can of milk powder can now cost 10,000 yuan!"

Last week, Xu Dong sold another can of milk powder to his colleague Gao Yuemei at the price of 10,000 yuan per can.

Not only did they not find it expensive, but they looked like they were taking advantage of it.

"What do you know?"

Yang Lina explained patiently: "These two little hens can lay eggs if we raise them again. The eggs are no worse than milk powder, and they can also be used for cooking. Why is it not cost-effective?"

Xu Dong thought the same thing. He happened to have a vegetable garden at home. The chickens could eat the leftovers and the chicken droppings could be used to fertilize the land. It was really a perfect closed loop, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, you wait, I'll discuss it with the uncle."

After speaking, he squeezed into the crowd again, and then whispered into the uncle's ear:

"Uncle, I happen to have baby milk powder at home. If you are willing, you can go back with me to get it.

Or you can continue to stay here. I'll go back and get the milk powder and come over. It takes about an hour to go back and forth. You have to keep the chicken for me. "

The uncle was very excited after hearing this. He grabbed a chicken in one hand and urged Xu Dong to go to the park police station to make a record.

With the registration, the uncle is not afraid anymore.

It's only ten thousand yuan, so I guess the other party wouldn't try it on his own, because it's just not worth it.

After leaving the police station gate, Xu Dong couldn't laugh or cry. The uncle's vigilance was too high.

If he hadn't taken out his work permit from the power company, the old man probably wouldn't have given up so easily.

"Young man, don't blame me for being suspicious. These two chickens are my granddaughter's life-saving chickens. I have to be more cautious." The old man said embarrassedly.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "It's okay! Uncle Zuo, let's leave early. It's almost dark."

"Okay, okay..." The old man couldn't wait for it, fearing that Xu Dong would regret it because of what happened just now.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Xu Dong pointed at Yang Lina and introduced: "Uncle Zuo, this is my wife Yang Lina, you can call her Nana."

Before entering the police station, Xu Dong asked his wife to wait for him in the parking lot first.

"Hello, Uncle Zuo." Yang Lina greeted.

"Hello!" The old man was a little reserved.

Xu Dong briefly explained the matter and then started the car. When the old man saw the luxury car, he felt more relieved.

On the way, the three began to chat.

"Uncle Zuo, where are you from?" Yang Lina asked.

"In Daxin District."

"That's quite far. Can you still get back at night?"

"Yes, if not, you can hire a taxi. It won't cost much." The old man replied.

Xu Dong took the opportunity to ask: "Uncle Zuo, where did you get this chicken? Did you raise it yourself?"

The old man nodded and talked about his family:

"I originally planned to raise it for my granddaughter-in-law to supplement her body. She just gave birth to a child before the New Year. After all, it's safe to raise chickens at home.

...

Who would have thought that milk powder is so scarce now. I have no choice but to come to the city to try my luck. Fortunately, I met you."
