My courtyard shelter

The north gate where Xu Dong was located was filled with sighs and sighs. The drought was related to everyone's life and future. ReadМ

Everyone hopes that the drought will end soon.

Only Xiang Xin looked a little complicated, and she gave Xu Dong a thumbs up:

"Boss, you are the one!"

Xu Dong smiled bitterly: "I hope my guess is wrong, but it's a pity that it backfired. Your corn was not sold, right?"

"No, no, luckily I called back early and my family stopped in time." Xiang Xin said happily.

Her father-in-law was planning to return the corn to the seller. Although it was only half price, he could at least recover some losses.

It was her persuasion that delayed it for a long time.

"It's fine if you don't have it. Remember my words. Unless you have to, don't sell anything but food." Xu Dong specifically warned.

"I know, I have to thank you for mentioning this, otherwise our family would suffer great losses."

"You don't have to be so polite. I just mentioned it casually. The key is that you are willing to believe it."

Xu Dong picked up the water cup and drank a sip of water. He was in a hurry in the morning and forgot to put in the ginseng tea. He couldn't do anything at the end of the day.

"Boss, I found that you are very accurate in what you say, and I will listen to you from now on." Xiang Xin said with emotion.

Xu Dong said sarcastically: "Don't, why do you listen to me? I'm not your husband."

"Hmph, I make the decisions in our family, and He Jian has to listen to me." Xiang Xin said proudly.

…

After finally getting off work, Xu Dong drove his Daben to Panjiayuan like a victorious general.

Stimulated by the "rain" news, Panjiayuan's grain prices saw a slight price cut. Meat prices did not drop much, and they were still priced but not available.

After shopping around, Xu Dong bought some dried seafood, exchanged cigarettes for hundreds of kilograms of dried mushrooms, and wrapped all the store's goods directly.

Just as Xu Dong was about to leave, a middle-aged man sneaked up and he immediately became alert.

"Brother, do you want fresh river fish?" the middle-aged man asked in a low voice.

Xu Dong remained calm: "What kind of fish? Where did it come from?"

Seeing that Xu Dong was interested, the middle-aged man quickly invited the person to a corner.

"They are all reservoir fish. They are obtained from Guanting Reservoir. We can discuss the price." The middle-aged man introduced softly.

“Is there any problem with the source of this fish?”

"There is absolutely no problem with the source." The middle-aged man assured, "The Guanting Reservoir is almost dry. All we get are small fish and shrimps, and the big fish have been pulled away from above."

Guanting Reservoir?

Xu Dong took out his mobile phone and searched it. He didn't know if he didn't search it, but he was shocked when he searched it.

The Guanting Reservoir is not small. It is the second largest reservoir in the capital region, with a total storage capacity of about 2.2 billion cubic meters. But I didn't expect it to dry up so quickly.

"How did you find me?" Xu Dong did not relax his vigilance.

The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed: "We are planning to find a big customer to sell all the fish. I just happened to see you driving the Daben, so I wanted to come over and ask."

"Why not sell them separately?" Xu Dong asked doubtfully.

The middle-aged man hesitated, and finally gritted his teeth and explained:

"I won't hide it from you. In fact, we are workers in the reservoir. If this matter gets bigger, the impact will be bad."

Xu Dong looked at the other party's work permit and felt a little relieved.

"How many fish do you have in total?"

"Almost over a thousand pounds." The middle-aged man replied quickly.

"Where is the fish? Can you take me to see it?" Xu Dong asked.

The middle-aged man looked delighted: "Of course, you come with me, our car is parked at the east gate entrance."

There were police officers standing guard everywhere in Panjiayuan, and Xu Dong was not afraid of the other party's tricks.

The two walked out of the east gate. The middle-aged man pointed to a small van not far away and introduced:

"That's our car."

Guanting Reservoir is not close to the city. If there is no refrigerated truck, the fish will probably stink before entering the city.

There was an old man and a young man sitting in the truck. The middle-aged man walked over and said a few words to the two, and then the young man opened the door.

Seeing the middle-aged man nodding, Xu Dong stepped forward and took a look into the carriage.

1,000 kilograms of fish sounds like a lot, but in fact it is only three baskets, one meter high.

The fish in the basket were just as the middle-aged man said. There were no big fish, just some small miscellaneous fish, such as dinner sticks, crucian carp, silver fish, etc., as well as some loaches and the like.

Xu Dong nodded with satisfaction and asked directly:

"what price?"

The middle-aged man stretched out his palm and turned it over: "We want to exchange for 2,000 kilograms of rice. Flour can also be used. It costs 2,500 kilograms."

"Can't you buy it with money?" Xu Dong frowned.

"It's not impossible." The middle-aged man sighed, "The price is 500,000."

The fat content of fish is low, and its general market price is only one-third or one-quarter of the price of pork.

The current price of pork is almost 1,000 yuan per catty. Of course, pure fat meat is usually two or three times that price, which is very close to the price in Xu Dong's previous life.

If calculated based on the price of 500,000 yuan, the unit price of these trash fish is already half of the price of meat, which is much higher than the market price.

But then again, if you just buy it with money, it won't be a loss. After all, you may not be able to buy the meat in Panjiayuan with money, and it's not in such a large amount.

"The price is too high." Xu Dong shook his head habitually.

"The price is indeed a bit expensive, but you may not be able to buy so many fish if you have money. We are taking risks when we come out. How about you let us earn more?" the middle-aged man argued.

Xu Dong pretended to repay the price several times with the other party, and finally nodded and agreed, and the price was repaid from 500,000 to 480,000.

"You guys wait here for half an hour, I'll be back soon."

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he transferred 1,000 yuan to the middle-aged man as a deposit.

"no problem."

The middle-aged man also knew that the other party could not use his luxury car to load fish, and it would only take half an hour, so they were willing to wait.

Half an hour later, Xu Dong drove over in his own minivan, accompanied by Yang Lina, saying that he was worried about her husband coming to trade alone.

There was not much nonsense after the two parties met.

Xu Dong opened the door of the truck and explained to the middle-aged man:

"Brother Luo, just pour the fish directly into the carriage."

Xu Dong specially paid attention to pouring out all the fish. If there is something fishy, ​​it can be seen at a glance.

The middle-aged man had no doubt that he was there, and the three of them worked together. It took less than ten minutes to transfer all the three large baskets of fish to the other party's car.

Xu Dong saw clearly from the sidelines and found no bad fish or other debris, so he transferred the account readily.

Finally, before leaving...

It was not easy for Xu Dong to look at the three people opposite him, so he couldn't help but say something more:

"Brother Luo, you should use this 480,000 to buy food as soon as possible. Don't be reluctant to give up money. In this current environment, food is more important than anything else."

The middle-aged man nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, we have found a channel here and are just waiting for the money."
