Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a casual fish

Chapter 18 Old Paoer

Li Weidong took another sneak trip to the alley to collect the five pumpkins the middle-aged man needed.

He originally planned to give money to the remaining two eggs, but the other party didn't want them, so he and his companion named Lao Liu put a basket full of eggs in front of him, picked up the pumpkins, and ran away.

"Comrade, do you have any more pumpkins?"

Beside, someone had noticed this transaction for a long time.

Even not far away, there were people who were looking greedily at the basket of eggs.

"No, we brothers managed to carry five pumpkins with great difficulty. Let's wait until tomorrow. I will come back then."

Li Weidong said nothing, picked up the basket and left.

Wealth is not revealed in vain, and you can adapt to it at any time.

Especially in this black market, if he wanders around with a basket of eggs, nothing will happen to him.

Therefore, even if Hou San's price is higher, he doesn't care.

Those people glanced at each other in unison, and then separated one of them and left in the direction of Li Weidong, while the others did not speak and just stood there and looked at Li Weidong.

Hou San didn't care about using money for transactions.

In this way, tonight's transaction is completed.

"Then I'm relieved. After all, you're safe, and our deal will be long-lasting in the future, right?" Hou San said.

Ten seconds later, the man hurried back and shook his head.

On the other hand, if he really gets dozens or hundreds of pumpkins, the results will be difficult to predict.

Hou San walked out and looked around first. When he saw that only Li Weidong was standing at the door with pumpkins piled at his feet, he asked.

Li Weidong waved his hand, full of pride.

Li Weidong shook his head and had a deeper understanding of this era.

"Brother Hou, can you help me cut the meat into five parts? Then I will just let a few brothers take it home to save trouble." Li Weidong said suddenly.

Li Weidong spread his hands and even opened his pockets to give the other party a clearer look.

Taking out ten was also the result of his careful consideration.

"Yes, I can't guarantee that there will be more pumpkins in the future. Ten or eight each time will still be no problem."

"Do you still want the wheat you agreed on last time? It's exactly ten pounds." Hou San said.

Hou San said and helped move the pumpkins into the yard.

But in fact, he had already made up his mind that this was his last transaction with Hou San.

It is even more impossible to seek wealth and death for this little thing.

Next, he wandered around the black market empty-handed.

After changing the wheat seeds, you can also change some flour.

"No problem, Brother Hou is awesome."

Li Weidong almost drooled when he heard there was meat.

"You came here alone?" Hou San took out a cigarette and handed one to Li Weidong.

The voice this time was somewhat familiar, it was Hou San.

"Is it possible, Brother Hou, that you have other good things here?" Li Weidong's expression changed.

"That's okay, just a little less."

Li Weidong replied, and then the door opened.

Although I am not afraid, unnecessary fights should be avoided if possible.

"Well, it's nice to have someone to take care of you. There have been a few old guys who have been restless these past two days. Please pay more attention when you go back." Hou San reminded him with a seemingly concerned look.

To put it bluntly, this is called: A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall.

When he turned around and emerged empty-handed, he encountered several people rushing towards him.

I originally thought about going somewhere else to see if I could meet a meat seller, but I didn't expect that there is one here in Hou San.

"Masters, it's late. The eggs have been sent away. I don't even have a penny with me now, so I just go shopping."

"Ten, it took a lot of effort to get them," Li Weidong said.

It was the same person as last time, who silently took out a scale and started weighing pumpkins.

"That's all?"

"366 kilograms, that's 370 kilograms, or based on the six cents last time, it's exactly twenty-two yuan. What do you think?"

After taking out ten pumpkins from the game warehouse and stacking them at the door, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It's the kind of cigarette without a filter.

"Including wheat, the total is twenty-two yuan, with two cents left." Hou San did the math.

If Li Weidong didn't mind the trouble and slowly collected some meat tickets on the black market, and then the whole family took turns buying meat, it should be cheaper than this price.

What does Li Weidong think?

Of course I stood and watched.

If you want to exchange something later, you can go to another black market.

He doesn't even plan to come to this black market.

"pumpkin."

After confirming that there was no tail following him, he quietly turned into the alley where Hou San's 'home' was located.

"It's easy to say, I'm sure I'll give you the same amount." Hou San nodded.

"Okay, what about the rest? Replace it with flour?"

It's a pity that he has just arrived in the city and there is no one available. Otherwise, it would be safest for him to hide behind the scenes for such matters.

"Can."

After the other person weighed all the pumpkins, Hou San got into the rhythm of negotiating a deal.

"Yes, my eldest brother was very happy when he heard that I could get wheat to make maltose." Li Weidong said immediately.

"Brother Hou, this is five yuan and four. Add the two cents to buy another seven kilograms of flour." Li Weidong took out a handful of change from his pocket and counted five yuan and four. The remaining money was less than one yuan, and he was

He carefully put it back in his pocket.

A master who seemed to be the leader nodded to Li Weidong, turned around and left.

Hou San said last time that wheat seeds cost 50 cents per catty, and ten catties equals five yuan.

Never test a person's humanity, this is the experience Li Weidong summed up in his previous life.

As for buying five kilograms at a time, don’t even think about it.

"Don't worry, a few old cannons are nothing. I have a brother who crawled back from the dead on the battlefield. He has such a long military thorn and can directly insert it into his pocket, hehe."

Li Weidong made gestures and responded nonchalantly.

"Walk!"

And these pumpkins are worth more than 20 yuan in total.

Li Weidong took it and replied: "I can't move so many pumpkins by myself. I asked a few brothers to carry them together. I felt that Brother Hou didn't want to see them either, so I put them away first."

Moreover, the price given by Hou San is not outrageous.

"who?"

A transaction of this level would probably not be taken seriously by Hou San.

"This is the black market."

If the other party doesn't follow martial ethics and just grabs a brick or uses a knife, he will be the one who suffers in the end.

"Pork costs two yuan a pound, and you can get at most three to five pounds. Canned fruit costs one yuan a piece." Hou San said directly.

But this is obviously impossible.

"Yes, five pounds of pork and seven cans of fruit." Li Weidong said without hesitation.

Meat on the market costs sixty or seventy cents for meat stamps, which is not available every day.

He can even get canned fruit, which shows that he has a lot of energy.

So he had to sneak away before others could react.

A few minutes later, Li Weidong left with the tightly packed meat, flour, wheat and cans on his back.

However, when I came out of the alley, I saw no one around, so I put my things directly into the farm warehouse, then pretended I had just finished urinating, wore my belt and blended into the crowd.

On the other side, Hou San closed the door and entered the house.

"Lao Zhuang, what do you think of that boy?"
