Siheyuan: a hole in the sky with you

Some people may say, since everyone is so sympathetic, why was Zhou Jianguo the only one to take action?

The reason is actually very simple, everyone is powerless.

Think about it, the old man has sixteen ginseng roots here. If you buy them, you will need at least twenty or thirty yuan.

Don't think that twenty or thirty yuan is small money. In the 1960s, this amount of money was really not small money. It took many people three to four months to save it.

In addition, as Zhou Jianguo said before, these ginseng was defective and too young to be of any medicinal use. It was a waste to buy it, so everyone backed down.

The situation at home is not good, otherwise, they would not come to the black market at three or four o'clock. A few cents may not matter, but now it costs at least dozens of dollars, haha...

To put it bluntly, if such a thing were to happen now, many people would gossip, saying that Zhou Jianguo did this to gain fame and reputation, and that he should give the money directly to this uncle or something. Anyway, there is a constant stream of words like sitting without pain in the back...

...

Why don't many people do good things now? It's not that they don't want to do it, but they don't dare to do it. It's because there are too many nit-picking keyboard warriors in this world. As long as they are caught, good things will turn into bad things.

, and the most important thing is that even if it is later confirmed that the matter is true, these keyboard warriors will not believe it and continue to find countless excuses to slander people...

As things like this continue to happen, the fire in everyone's heart that wants to do good things is gradually extinguished, and until now, there are basically not many good people and good deeds left.

People in the 1960s were different. They were very simple-minded and would not feel jealous, dissatisfied, or hostile to others because they did good things. Instead, everyone would applaud them.

At this time, everyone's thinking is very simple. As long as they do good things, they must be praised. There is no soil for keyboard warriors.

Just like now, if it weren't for the black market here, the people around him would really applaud Zhou Jianguo.

Zhou Jianguo also sensed everyone's enthusiasm, and for the first time he felt in his heart that he had really come to the right time in this era.

This episode passed quickly, and Zhou Jianguo began to search in the black market again to see if there was anything else he wanted.

This search really allowed him to find something he wanted.

For example, when Zhou Jianguo saw the meat stall in front of him, his eyes lit up because he saw not only pork, but also beef, mutton, and other meats, each in large quantities.

.

"Gudong!!" Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, shouting crazily in his heart: I want to buy all the meat here!

Of course, this is a joke, but Zhou Jianguo is really planning to buy more meat. He is very weak now and needs to eat more meat to make up for it.

"Master, how do you sell the meat here?" Zhou Jianguo came to the meat stall and asked.

"Pork costs $1.50 per catty, and beef, mutton, and donkey meat all cost $1.00 per catty." The stall owner quickly replied.

"..." Zhou Jianguo was a little stunned. It wasn't the price that scared him, but the price of pork was obviously more expensive than beef, mutton, and donkey meat. In the era when he came, beef was more expensive than beef, mutton, and donkey meat.

, mutton is several times more expensive than pork, not to mention donkey meat, the price is even more expensive, and now, the whole situation is reversed.

When the stall owner saw that Zhou Jianguo was silent, he thought he was frightened by the price he mentioned, so he quickly introduced his meat.

He picked up a piece of fat meat, handed it to Zhou Jianguo, and said: "Little brother, my price is really not expensive. Buy meat from me for free. Moreover, look at these pork, it is three fingers thick. Buy it back."

Once fried, it immediately becomes a pot of oil."

"Uh... OK, I'll buy it!" Zhou Jianguo agreed with a smile.

He knew that the boss had misunderstood. He didn't speak just now because he knew for the first time that in this era, beef and mutton were not as expensive as pork. If this was told, many people would not believe it.

In fact, this kind of thing was normal in the 1960s and 1970s. There was no vegetable oil in that era, and everyone's daily oil was lard. Therefore, the price of pork, especially fatty meat, was very high at that time.

Compared with pork, beef and mutton are not very popular among the people because these meats do not have much oil.

The common people know how to live well. If you buy pork, especially fat meat, you can fry a lot of pork and eat meat. It is like killing two birds with one stone. But if you buy mutton, beef and other meat back, you can't fry it at all.

It didn't come with any oil, and it didn't taste as good as pork. Therefore, many people didn't like mutton and beef at that time.

Don't think that the traveler is just talking nonsense. At that time, the common people preferred to eat fat meat, because at that time, everyone was generally short of oil and water, so they liked to eat fat meat that was not decent. Many people could eat two or three in one meal.

Kilograms of fat.

If you still don’t believe it, you can go home and ask your grandparents whether they liked eating fat meat or lean meat when they were young...

Over time, beef and mutton have become unpopular with ordinary people. Of course, their price is not as good as that of pork.

"Hey, ok, how many pounds do you want to buy?" the boss asked enthusiastically.

"Well, all of them!"

"All?! Little brother, there are twenty or thirty kilograms here. Do you want so much?" The boss looked at Zhou Jianguo worriedly. Most people only buy two or three kilograms at a time. If you want them all, it's very rare.

See.

"It's okay, I want them all." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile. In order to reassure the boss, he also told his 'identity' as a buyer. Now all the problems were solved. The boss even introduced Zhou Jianguo enthusiastically.

Speaking of other meats, especially beef, mutton and donkey meat, these were the hardest to sell. The boss saw that Zhou Jianguo was young and wanted to trick him into buying more.

"Okay, I want all the beef, mutton, and donkey meat." Zhou Jianguo looked like a nouveau riche, waved his hand, and took all the beef, mutton, and donkey meat.

Maybe other people prefer to eat pork, especially fatty meat, but Zhou Jianguo's mouth is still the same as in his previous life. He prefers beef, mutton and donkey meat, so even if he knew that the boss was fooling him, he pretended to be fooled and took advantage of the situation.

Won them all.

Of course, this boss did not have the same treatment as the previous few people. Zhou Jianguo negotiated the price with this boss, and finally lowered the price to 1.21 kilogram for pork, and 80 cents per kilogram for beef and mutton.

Although the price was lowered a lot, the boss still had a smile on his face. It was obvious that even at this price, the boss made a profit, and quite a lot.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Let’s not talk about pork. The boss only paid 40 cents per catty for beef and mutton. Now it sells for 80 cents per catty, making a net profit of 40 cents per catty. And this

Zhou Jianguo once harvested about three hundred kilograms of pig, cow, sheep, and donkey meat, so he really made a huge profit.

After buying the meat, Zhou Jianguo did not stay in the black market any longer. Firstly, it was getting light and the black market was about to close. Secondly, his mental power had already scanned the entire black market several times and found nothing he felt.

It was something he was interested in, so Zhou Jianguo was ready to go back.

"Little brother, it's best to find someone to go back with you to avoid any accidents." The butcher stall owner warned in a low voice.

"Don't worry, uncle, I have other companions." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.

"That's good. The black market hasn't closed yet. You and your companions should leave as soon as possible. There are many hungry wolves outside watching here." The stall owner had a dark heart when he was selling meat, but he was still a good person and had good intentions.

was reminded again.

"Thank you, boss, for reminding me. Don't worry, nothing will happen to you." After saying that, Zhou Jianguo didn't wait for the stall owner to answer, but directly carried one piece of meat in each hand, and left with about 300 kilograms of meat easily.

"This..." The stall owner was dumbfounded. After seeing Zhou Jianguo carrying three hundred kilograms of meat and leaving with ease, he realized that he had made a mistake. This customer looked like a sick man, but

In fact, he is a hidden master.

"Hehe, I really hope those people outside will meet this guy, then he will look better." The stall owner looked gloating, and now he was looking forward to the gangsters outside causing trouble for Zhou Jianguo.

With the strength shown by Zhou Jianguo, those gangsters will definitely not be able to recover by then.

"Hey, this guy is extraordinary!" A middle-aged man in his thirties at the door of the black market saw Zhou Jianguo's current appearance, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Zhou Jianguo very seriously for the first time.

"Brother, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this person?" A young man next to him who looked to be in his mid-twenties asked as he looked at Zhou Jianguo's leaving figure.

"No problem." The middle-aged man replied: "However, this person should be a practitioner, and he has an extraordinary background. Otherwise, how could he have such strength at such an age? If we really want to fight, I won't necessarily win.

Gotta get it off."

After hearing what the middle-aged man said, the young man who knew the other man's personality no longer dared to underestimate Zhou Jianguo.

He looked at Zhou Jianguo's back and whispered, "Senior brother, do you need me to follow you?"

The middle-aged man knew his junior brother very well. What he just said was to follow this young man to see what his background was and whether he was here to exploit the black market.

As mentioned before, this black market is one of the largest black markets in Huajing. At the end of the day, there is extremely abundant oil and water, so from time to time, someone wants to get in and get a piece of this oil and water.

The junior brother thought that Zhou Jianguo was such a person, so he wanted to check the situation first.
