My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 202
"What about food trade, can we exchange for food?"

"Small-scale ones are okay, but large-scale estimates are difficult. Everyone is not a fool. Now everyone knows that food is expensive." Mr. Li replied.

Xu Dong rubbed his chin: "President Li, where did you get your margarine?"

"I'm also lucky." Mr. Li laughed, and then explained: "I bought this barrel of margarine from Maoxiong Country. The other party doesn't have enough supplies, so I can only use it to pay off the debt."

"Is this common?"

"It's not common. I've been doing business with the other party for several months, and this is the only time I can take advantage of it." Mr. Li shook his head.

Speaking of coming to the door of a small independent warehouse, Mr. Li took out the key and opened the door. The inside area is not big, less than ten square meters, except for a small green tin bucket in the middle, surrounded by piles of various furs.

"Boss Xu, this bucket contains margarine, and it hasn't been opened yet. Would you like to open it and have a look?"

Xu Dong nodded, of course he wanted to see it.

Mr. Li did it himself, and took a crowbar to pry open the tin bucket, and what came into view was a layer of white solid coagulation, which was tasteless and tasteless.

"This stuff is produced in Maoxiong Country. They have a lot of whaling ships in their country. One big whale is equivalent to the fat on thousands of fat pigs. If you catch any of them, you will make a lot of money."

"Hearing what you said, it's really a lot of money." Xu Dong said enviously, and he wanted to get a fishing boat to go out to sea to hunt whales.

Mr. Li looked forward to it: "Boss Xu, the goods have been inspected, can we trade now?"

In fact, Mr. Li originally prepared this barrel of oil for his family, but considering that white sugar can bring greater profits, he was willing to part with it.

"Yes." Xu Dong said happily.

Less than half an hour into the transaction, Xu Dong returned to his courtyard in his pickup truck. He was worried about parking the car anywhere, and it was safest to put it in the garage.

……

Going to work on Monday, Xu Dong was surrounded by his colleagues as soon as he entered the office, because he sent a text message in the group before going to bed last night.

There are only four words: luck is not disgraceful.

"Xiao Xu, how many eggs did you get?" Uncle Chen asked directly.

"Are there a hundred?"

"Can you give me a few more?"

Xu Dong patted the table lightly: "Everyone be quiet first, and listen to me."

"Yes, yes, let's stop asking, Xiao Xu, hurry up and tell me!"

"I didn't get the eggs!" Xu Dong poured cold water on everyone when he came up.

Sister Feng frowned and said, "Xiao Xu, let's stop joking, okay?"

"I'm not joking. Although I didn't get the eggs, I got a bucket of margarine. Do you want it?" Xu Dong didn't make a fool of himself.

"Margarine? What is this?" Everyone took out their mobile phones and began to search online.

Xu Dong introduced: "This barrel of margarine is processed from whale fat. The place of origin is Mao Xiong Country, and the quality is absolutely fine."

Last night, in order to verify the safety of margarine, Xu Dong asked his mother to fry a fish steak with butter, and then fed it to Mark and Huahua.

Mark and Huahua ate very happily, and there was no problem in the morning, so Xu Dong gained confidence.

"Xiao Xu, how much margarine do you have?" Section Chief Li asked after hearing the news.

"About 100 kilograms." Xu Dong replied.

The reason why the twenty kilograms were missing was that it was reserved for Aunt Wang, Zhao Jian and others, and Father Xu also bought ten kilograms, sold Ye Hui for two kilograms, and gave away the rest. Manager Yuan.

"Okay, enough for our departments." Section Chief Li said with satisfaction.

Sister Feng is a woman who is most sensitive to prices, so she couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Xu, how do you sell this butter?"

"Sister Feng, it's impossible to sell, but everyone can exchange grain for it, and I won't make any difference. Twenty catties of rice is exchanged for one catty of butter, and thirty catties of corn flour is exchanged for one catty."

The price of sugar is 600 yuan, and a catty of butter can be exchanged for [-] catties of sugar, which is equivalent to [-] yuan more than [-] yuan.

At present, the black market price of grain is roughly below 200 yuan per catty of corn flour, and about 300 yuan per catty of ordinary rice.

Since last month, the price of food on the black market has ushered in a new round of skyrocketing.

"Ah, so expensive?" Sister Feng said in pain.

Section Chief Li shook his head: "Old Feng, edible oil has a price but no market. It's good to sell it if you can. It doesn't matter if you don't buy it. Don't blame Xiao Xu. He is really doing good for us all."

"The section chief understands me." Xu Dong smiled happily.

"Well, leave ten catties for me. Your aunt will give birth in two months. It's okay if you can't keep up with nutrition."

"Okay, I'll send it to you personally tomorrow."

With Section Chief Li at the beginning, other colleagues more or less bought two or three catties, but if the family has a little foundation, they don't want to suffer for the children.

After the colleagues left, Xu Dong called Xiang Xin. Lao He made the decision, just like Section Chief Li, he was ten catties if he made a move.

So far, a total of 42 catties of margarine have been sold, leaving 150 catties left.

Next, Director Cao asked for five catties, and Director Su asked for eight catties, and he registered them one by one.

After lunch, Xu Dong was taking a lunch break when he suddenly received a call from Section Chief Li.

"Hello, Uncle Li."

Section Chief Li sighed and said, "Xiao Xu, the news about your sale of butter has spread to other departments. You'd better be prepared. You have to think about who you sell the butter to and who you don't. Don't offend anyone." gone."

"Damn, Uncle Li, who spread the word, didn't I tell everyone to keep it a secret?" Xu Dong said depressedly.

"It's too late to say anything now, you should think about it yourself!"

"Come on, Uncle Li, why don't you always give me some advice?" Xu Dong didn't understand the circles here, so he could only ask Section Chief Li for help.

Section Chief Li smiled: "Alright, then you remember it, no matter who comes to you next, you have to grit your teeth and say it's sold out. I'll help you contact the leaders here, and send the order later. Here you go, you just follow the instructions above."

"Trouble you, Uncle Li!"

"It's not troublesome, how much butter do you have left?" Section Chief Li asked.

"With the exception of Uncle Cao and Director Su, there are still 140 five catties." Xu Dong blurted out.

"Understood, wait for my news later!"

As soon as he hung up the phone, Xu Dong's cell phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar number, but he still picked it up.

As expected, it was an employee of the company's personnel department. After the politeness, the other party directly expressed that he wanted to buy two catties of margarine.

According to Section Chief Li's suggestion, Xu Dong directly explained that it was sold out, and complained a few words to the other side, but he didn't make too much fuss.

Hanging up the phone again, this time he learned to be smart and simply turned off the phone, so that he didn't need to waste his tongue, and he didn't have to worry about offending others.

It's a pity that things backfired. Without a phone call, people came directly to the door. The whole afternoon, the office was in a mess.
