My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 640
"Okay, stop talking and eat quickly."

Xu's mother helped her eldest grandson with a fried bun.

The chef Xu Dong hired was very skilled. He used to be the chef of a five-star hotel. All the meals were cooked by the other party himself. It was very hard work.

After all, in the current environment, no matter how good the culinary skills are, there is not much use for them. The country is not a beautiful country, and a "rationing system" directly disintegrated the entire high-end catering industry.

The chef cherishes the current job opportunity very much.

"Thank you grandma."

Dabao carefully blew on the fried bun, and then took a small bite. The fried bun was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a lingering fragrance.

The little tiger wanted to eat too.

Xu Jingyi immediately put on a stern face: "No more food, you've already eaten two, and if you eat any more, your stomach will bloat, be obedient and don't be mischievous."

"Wow... no, I'm going to eat..."

"Okay, don't cry, grandpa still has half a bun here, I'll give it to you."

Xu Bin quickly took the half-eaten fried buns to Xiao Huzi. Among the three grandchildren, he was most partial to the second grandson, after all, the little guy was also surnamed Xu.

The little tiger immediately laughed through his tears.

Pan's mother frowned slightly, but finally said nothing.

Not long after breakfast, the delivery truck from the Sydney Bread Factory arrived, with a total of more than [-] catties of bread, which filled almost half of the car.

Captain Zhou and others moved swiftly, and it took less than half an hour to unload the goods.

Xu Dong took the opportunity to gather all the servants and security personnel in the manor together.

"Hey, I know it's not easy for you all, so I specially bought a batch of bread for you. A box of bread is 2000 yuan, and each person can buy up to ten boxes. Those who are interested will wait for Captain Zhou to sign up."

The reason why Xu Dong asked for half of the bread was for these people. It is impossible for outsiders to have a share but his own people do not.

"Thank you Dong Xu."

The crowd was overjoyed.

Seeing that a big crisis was coming, everyone was desperately hoarding food, but they never expected that the big boss would be so powerful and take the initiative to help them solve their worries.

Xu Dong smiled and waved his hands: "This is just the first batch of bread, and there will be more in the future. Anyway, on my side, everyone doesn't have to worry about not being able to eat, just stay and work with peace of mind."

"Clap clap clap..."

After 10 minutes, Captain Zhou found the big boss with the list.

"Mr. Xu, this is the list of buyers."

Xu Dong took it over and took a look, then asked in confusion, "Why are your and Peng Yan's names not on it?"

"You've already helped us, that batch of cans..."

Zhou Yinsheng said embarrassedly.

That batch of canned food was much more expensive than bread, and the key was that there were more of them, a total of fifty boxes, which almost emptied their family's fortune.

"Canned food is canned food, and it has nothing to do with this matter. Besides, the quantity of this batch of bread is enough, not bad for the two of you. Don't save for me."

After Xu Dong finished speaking, he picked up the pen on the table and added the two names on it himself.

"Thank you Dong Xu."

Zhou Yinsheng was very moved.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Xu Dong returned the list to the other party, and then added: "For the remaining bread, you can help me pack it into the pickup truck and accompany me on a trip in the afternoon Door."

"I see."

As soon as Captain Zhou left, Mama Xu arrived.

As soon as the old man entered the door, he yelled loudly: "Third brother, has the bread arrived?"

"Yes, the bread has arrived."

"Then I'll inform Lao Lian and the others to come over."

Mother Xu turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Dong hurriedly called to his mother: "Mom, wait a moment."

"what happened?"

"It's too conspicuous to go in and out of the house, and it's inconvenient. I think so, it's best to drive the bread to the entrance of the black market on Yanjing Road, and let them go there directly to get the bread."

Xu Dong quickly explained.

"That's fine, what time?"

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, try to arrange the order in advance, don't rush over."

Mother Xu nodded: "Your idea is not bad, shall I go there with you in the afternoon?"

"If you always want to go, go!"

"By the way, what's the price of the bread?"

"A box of ten catties is 2000 yuan, and two hundred catties per person is 40,000 yuan. In addition, you always remind them that there is no need to worry about money, and it doesn't matter if you are a few days late."

"Will the price be a little expensive?"

Mother Xu hesitated.

"Mom, don't you always check what time it is, my price is really not expensive, a catty of potatoes on the black market outside costs more than 300 yuan!"

"So expensive?" Mother Xu was shocked.

"It should be because I was scared a few years ago. Let me tell you, what is the population of Sydney? There is no need to worry about food shortages. It is a waste of money now."

Xu Dong sighed.

Mama Xu suddenly thought of something: "Third brother, your cousin's family is still in Maoben, I don't know what's going on with them, is there any food shortage?"

Xu Dong's cousin, that is, Da Jie's father.

At the beginning, Da Bing's family agreed to settle down in Sydney, but because of Da Bing's work, it was really inconvenient, and finally had to move to Maoben.

Fortunately, the distance between the two places is not too far.

During the Spring Festival last year, Da’s family came to pay New Year’s greetings.

"Mom, don't worry, I just mailed fifty boxes of canned food to them a while ago, enough for them to eat for a year or two."

Xu Dong immediately comforted him.

He sent canned food to Father Yang before, and he also sent a batch to his cousin by the way. Anyway, the two are also relatives, so it makes no sense to forget about them.

"Really? I'll make a call later to see what else they are missing."

Mama Xu nodded in satisfaction.

……

After lunch, Xu Dong set off with his mother, and Zhou Yinsheng followed behind in a pickup truck.

The black market is very close, less than a quarter of an hour away.

The black market here is very small, with only a short street lined with second-hand goods stores, some of which sell food.

It's just that the scale is also very small.

As soon as the car stopped, Aunt Lian, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted her with her son.

An electric tricycle was parked behind the two of them.

"Lao Zhang, Dong Zi, you are finally here."

Mama Xu looked at the middle-aged man in front of her: "Old Lian, is this your son?"

"Yeah, the bread is too heavy, and I can't lift it by myself."

"Aunt Zhang, Xu Dong, hello!"

Xu Dong nodded, said a few words of politeness, and then asked Captain Zhou to open the door of the pickup truck.

"Dongzi, are these all?"

Aunt Lian said in surprise.

"That's right, a box of bread is ten catties, and two hundred catties is exactly twenty boxes."

Aunt Lian immediately took out a paper bag from her pocket and impatiently stuffed it into Mama Xu's arms.

"Old Zhang, this is the money for buying bread. I just took it out of the bank. You count it."

Mother Xu threw the money directly to her youngest son: "Don't count, how can I not believe you?"

"It's still safe to count."

Aunt Lian advised me.

"Aunt Lian, it's okay, let's start moving things, the people behind are still waiting!"

Xu Dong reminded with a smile.
