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

Chapter 6 My eldest brother has a tumor

So dark!

Li Weidong finally learned what a black market is.

But he didn’t know that this was only 62 years. Last year, a kilogram of food stamps could be sold for two yuan on the black market, and the national food stamps started at three yuan.

Li Weidong is rich.

The total given by Zhang Xiuzhen and her grandma was more than 20 yuan, which could buy 30 kilograms of flour.

But he couldn't bear it.

What's more, there is a tacit understanding of exchanging things for things. Even if you are caught, you can still talk about it, but it is nothing more than confiscating the things.

But if you really have to spend money to buy flour, which costs only 80 cents per pound, then you will be in big trouble.

This is buying and selling, and you will be sent to a labor camp.

"I have an old pumpkin, can I exchange it?" Li Weidong asked in a low voice.

"pumpkin?"

"Okay, this pumpkin was grown by my second uncle in the countryside. There should be ten or eight more. When I have time, I will go to the countryside and bring them together."

Li Weidong didn't pay attention to Hou San who was elusive or had been secretly spying on him. This was the first time for everyone, so it was normal to be cautious.

Li Weidong looked like he had no choice but to show the painful expression on his face, which was a very penetrating performance.

Moreover, in this era, he had never thought about doing something earth-shattering. It was enough to have enough food and drink, find a warm bed, and be carefree.

"Okay, I'm going to go find my dad to get the pumpkin."

Li Weidong nodded, but he had already decided in his heart that he would trade with the other party for at most two or three times before withdrawing.

After Li Weidong left, the man who had been silent before spoke.

After weighing, the total weight is 114 kilograms.

In this way, no one is aware of it and hidden dangers are minimized.

"No problem, just three days later, how about it?" Hou San said cheerfully.

In three days, he could ripen more pumpkins.

Hou San opened the sack, took out a pumpkin from inside, and nodded to the person who just opened the door, who then entered the room and took out a steel scale.

The next second, a soft body bumped into his arms. He was caught off guard, and the basket he was carrying also fell to the ground.

I won’t let you work in vain. How about I exchange the pumpkin with you for flour at the rate of seven cents per pound?”

"Six points, no matter what, I won't change it." Li Weidong made a gesture of leaving.

"In the countryside, we just point to these pumpkins for the winter. We can bring them from anywhere. By the way, Brother Hou, can you get unprocessed wheat?" Li Weidong asked calmly.

"It's okay, I'm dumbfounded. If you really want to cause trouble for us, you won't trade pumpkins for flour." Hou San shook his head and said calmly.

The flour seller was a tall and thin man wearing a military coat full of patches. He pondered for a moment after hearing Li Weidong's words.

"Ten pounds." Li Weidong thought for a while and said.

If you really want to make money, it's not too late to wait until the 1980s.

According to six cents per pound, the total is 6.84 yuan.

"Who?"

"Unprocessed? What do you want that thing for?" Hou San asked in confusion.

Li Weidong entered the yard carrying the pumpkin. As soon as he put it down, another figure appeared behind him, it was Hou San.

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he turned and left.

The best way is to find the seeds you need and plant them directly in the game farm.

"come in."

When Li Weidong saw that the other party did not bring any flour with him, he knew that the transaction location would not be chosen here.

"Hey, your pumpkin is big enough."

He certainly saw that the other party was acting just now, but so what?

We are all children of Jianghu, the eldest brother does not talk about the second brother.

"Little brother, just because of your brotherly feeling, I will get some for you. How much do you want? I'll give it to you at fifty cents a pound." Hou San said, patting his chest.

It wasn't until the crowd started to disperse that I hurried home slowly.

"Ouch!"

After knocking on the door, it took about five or six seconds before a sound came from inside.

I can change more things next time.

"That's okay, twenty pounds for one pound."

Then, following the path pointed by Hou San, we found the house with the door god posted on the door.

The reason why Li Weidong asked for ten pounds was that he was worried that the other party was too lazy to get it, and the second reason was that he didn't want to bother him too much.

"Ten or eight is never too few, and one or two hundred is never too many." Hou San said with a smile.

If you include the profit from flour, it is undoubtedly more.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of opening the door.

After all, every day land is idle is wasted.

And as long as there are seeds, even a grain of wheat, if energy is used to continuously ripen, there will definitely be more and more.

"I brought three pumpkins this time. Each one weighs less than thirty pounds. Where do you think I can change them?"

Today I am called Hou San, maybe tomorrow I will be called Zhang Si.

"Okay, just treat it as a friend the first time. If you want to change flour in the future, come here and give me the name of Hou San." The tall and thin man nodded.

When Li Weidong walked out of the door, he delivered the flour to the warehouse of the game farm, then continued to wander around the black market with the empty basket.

After finding a remote place and seeing no one around, I took out the last three pumpkins, packed them in broken sacks, and carried them with difficulty.

"I said, man, you are not interested anymore. I have inquired about it. Pumpkin is worth eight cents per pound. It is guaranteed to be easier to sell than flour and the risk is smaller. If my family members were not sick, I would really be reluctant to exchange pumpkins.

flour.

Going to the black market to exchange for food is okay occasionally, but over time, things can easily go wrong.

"Hey, to tell you the truth, my eldest brother had a tumor in his throat. He couldn't swallow whole grains at all, so he had to change to some flour. Moreover, he drank several bowls of Chinese medicine every day, which made his urine bitter.

Thanks to Changbai0577 for the reward.

"They're all here, let's weigh them."

Because of the special operation of the game farm, he planned to plant only half of that acre of wheat with wheat, and the rest could be planted with sweet potatoes or other crops.

But when I entered the yard, I had already put the eggs and flour into the basket.

"Five points per pound." The tall and thin man said calmly.

"What's the background of the other party? There won't be any trouble, right?"

This time, he didn't buy anything, he just took a look and opened his eyes.

"Hou San introduced me here."

With his eyes trained on the black market, he couldn't say that he could see everything 100% of the time, but he was confident that he would be 70% or 80% sure.

I'm not thinking about getting some wheat to make maltose so that he can have a little sweetness in his mouth when he drinks medicine every day." Li Weidong's voice was low.

"Okay." Li Weidong did not refuse.

"I see that you are an honest person, little brother. Let's pay seven yuan this time. Eight cents per catty of flour will be exchanged for eight catties and seven taels. If you still have this kind of pumpkin in the future, you can come directly and pay this price."

Price." Hou San said openly.

The average weight is 38 pounds.

And he is not afraid that Li Weidong will lead people to cause trouble. Who in his line of work doesn't have a place to stay?

In this transaction, he made at least two yuan from the price difference alone.

"Did you see that at the end of this alley, there is a house with two doormen posted on the door. When you knock three times, just say that Hou San introduced you." Hou San pointed to the side.

Thanks to the other side of the sky, stonesun97, Sm-is Meng Mowen Xidong, Mechanical Stray Cat, Book Friends 20210910100437560 and other brothers for their votes.

I would also like to thank almost all the brothers who have collected it and have been reading it.

It is undoubtedly a blessing to be able to take care of the tender seedlings that are just ten thousand old.

The author can only write books more carefully to repay everyone.
