My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 58
Yang Lina was not a stubborn person at first, but after being persuaded by her husband, she was soon persuaded.

"You wait here, and let the waiter pack the cakes by the way. I'll go back to the car to get the cigarette, and I'll be right back." Xu Dong explained.

In order to keep a low profile, the couple came out bare-handed, leaving the cigarettes and milk in the car.

The parking lot is patrolled by security, but there is no need to worry about being stolen.

Yang Lina nodded and reminded: "Husband, you should also pay attention to yourself, don't be targeted by thieves."

"I see."

After speaking, he squeezed out the crowd and left in a hurry.

In less than 5 minutes, Xu Dong trotted back with a plastic bag in his hand.

When a person reaches middle age, his physical fitness declines rapidly, and he no longer has the spirit and energy of his youth, and he is breathless even after running.

Yang Lina hurriedly took out a tissue and wiped the sweat from her husband's forehead, while murmuring:

"Why are you running in such a hurry, we are not in a hurry."

"It's okay, sweating occasionally is good for your body. Are the cakes packed?"

Yang Lina pointed to the counter, "It's all packed, 50 puffs, and some other pastries."

Xu Dong nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the bag in his hand to the waiter:

"The cigarette is in the bag, you can check it."

The waiter took the bag with a smile, then took out the whole stick of cigarettes in front of Xu Dong, and began to verify the authenticity.

Xu Dong's cigarettes are all purchased through formal channels, and it is basically impossible for fake cigarettes to appear.

"No problem, we've got the cigarettes." The waiter's smile was a little more sincere.

"It's fine, wife, let's go!"

Xu Dong stepped forward and picked up the packing box. The cakes worth 2500 yuan looked a lot, but they only weighed five pounds.

On the surface, Xu Dong made a profit. After all, no matter how good cigarettes are, they can't be eaten as food.

But in the long run, it is definitely a loss.

Tobacco cultivation is much more difficult than wheat, and there are also policy constraints.

In Xu Dong's previous life, the share of tobacco planting planned by the state decreased year by year, and in a few years it could be negligible.

After all, people are running out of food, and there is no need to consider the needs of smokers.

In the future, the price of cigarettes will only become more and more expensive, and will eventually replace jewelry bags and become synonymous with luxury goods.

Where there is demand, there is a market. There is never a shortage of rich people in this world.

"Welcome to come again next time, our store has discounts for old customers."

"must."

With the smiling faces of the shop assistants, Xu Dong and the two left the pastry shop, and the onlookers gave them envious looks.

After walking more than ten meters, Yang Lina couldn't wait to take out a puff and stuff it into Xu Dong's mouth:
"Husband, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, you can try it too." Xu Dong also fed his wife a puff.

"It's so sweet..."

Yang Lina ate five puffs in a row, and then she stopped. It wasn't because she was greedy.

……

After more than half an hour of shopping, the couple finally found a meat shop, but the other meat has long been sold out, and now there is only a big pig's head left in the refrigerator.

Xu Dong stepped forward and took the initiative to chat with the shop owner.

"Boss, how do you sell your pig head?"

The owner of the store is very polite, "If you buy it with money, the price is 6000 yuan, and you can also exchange it with something. As long as it is a good thing, the price is negotiable."

"Your pig's head is at most fifteen catties more, and 6000 yuan is too expensive. Can you bargain?" Xu Dong shook his head.

This price is outrageous, a catty of meat costs about 400 yuan, and the current drought has only lasted for half a year, and it is still early before the real famine.

"I'm sorry, the price is this price, you can buy it or not." The owner said leisurely, as long as it's meat, he doesn't have to worry about selling it at all.

"If you change things, how do you change them?"

Although Xu Dong is not short of money, he does not want to be taken advantage of and see if he can exchange it for other things.

The shop owner smiled and took out a printed catalog from under the counter and handed it to Xu Dong.

"The above items can be exchanged, and the prices are marked. If there are other items, you can also tell them."

Xu Dong took the form and glanced at it. It was basically the same as the pawn shop, except that the price of gold was a bit higher, 1000 yuan per gram, which was a whole number.

In recent months, with the overall rise in prices, the price of gold has naturally risen, almost tripling.

"Is the price of gold not low here?"

"Small business, the old man is innocent!" The shopkeeper put on a genial gesture of making money.

Xu Dong tried to ask, "Do you want milk here?"

"What milk?"

The owner is interested, milk is also a good thing, even more popular than pork, after all, no one has a child.

"Tronsu's pure milk, the kind in boxes." Xu Dong replied.

"Is the quality okay?"

"Don't worry, the shelf life is still two or three months away!" Xu Dong assured.

The shop owner thought for a while, then stood up and asked, "How do you want to change it?"

"How about I exchange a box for your pig head?" Xu Dong asked tentatively.

The shop owner quickly shook his head and shouted, "Impossible, your asking price is too harsh."

"Otherwise, is it your bid?"

"How about ten boxes? One box of milk is at most five or six hundred yuan, and ten boxes is exactly about 600 yuan." The owner of the shop was the lion.

Without waiting for Xu Dong to answer, Yang Lina shook her head frantically and said, "Boss, we can ship up to three boxes, and we don't have one more box."

"Three boxes are a little short, can you add more?"

"There's really no more, we only have three cartons of milk left in our family." Yang Lina killed the number in one bite.

The shop owner hesitated.

According to the price before the drought, he is undoubtedly the one who suffers a loss, but now milk is obviously more scarce than meat, so it is fair to exchange.

"Boss, whether it works or not, do you have a message?" Yang Lina urged, this is also a small counter-offer.

Seeing that Xu Dong and his wife were about to leave, the shop owner immediately grabbed Xu Dong and hurriedly said, "Don't go, I didn't say no!"

"Boss, did you agree to change?" Xu Dong confirmed.

Although the shop owner was a little unwilling, he still nodded his head: "This time I will suffer a small loss, so let's change it!"

"The boss is big!" Xu Dong gave a thumbs up.

"Well, have you brought milk here? When will we change it?" the shopkeeper asked directly.

Yang Lina replied with a smile: "I brought it, you wait for us for 10 minutes, we will go get it now."

"it is good!"

Ten minutes later, the couple came back with three boxes of Deluxe, followed by four or five people who asked for the price, and one of them even raised the price to 10 yuan.

"As I said, our milk is used for meat, and we don't sell it." Yang Lina said impatiently.

"Okay, three boxes of five thousand, this is really the last offer."

"Don't sell, don't sell, you better go, we're there."

Yang Lina felt distressed for the previous experience of selling meat for a long time. She had already made up her mind in her heart, and she would still listen to her husband more in the future.

Husband said not to sell, even if killed.
