Chapter 6 My elder brother has a tumor
It's so dark!
Li Weidong has learned what the black market is.

But he didn't know that it was only 62 years ago. Last year, food stamps could be sold for two yuan per catty on the black market, and the national food stamps started at three yuan.

Li Weidong is rich.

Zhang Xiuzhen and grandma gave a total of more than 20 yuan, which can buy [-] catties of flour.

But he couldn't bear it.

What's more, in exchanging things for things, everyone tacitly knew that even if they were caught, they could still say something, nothing more than confiscating things.

But if you really have to spend money to buy it, it's still [-] cents a catty of flour, then you will be in big trouble.

This is buying and selling, and they will be sent to reeducation through labor.

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

"pumpkin?"

The flour seller was a tall, thin man, wearing a military overcoat full of patches. He groaned a little when he heard Li Weidong's words.

"Alright, twenty catties for one catty."

"I said man, you are boring. I have inquired about it. Pumpkin is eight cents a catty. It is guaranteed to sell better than flour, and the risk is less. If my family members are not sick, I am really reluctant to exchange pumpkins." flour.

I won't let you work in vain, the pumpkin is calculated at seven cents a catty, and I will exchange it with you for flour, how about it? "

Li Weidong looked helpless, and the pained expression on his face was so penetrating.

"Fifty cents a catty." The tall, thin man said calmly.

"Six points, I won't change any less." Li Weidong made a gesture to leave.

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

"I brought three pumpkins this time, one less than [-] catties, where do you think I can change them?"

Seeing that the other party didn't bring the flour with him, Li Weidong knew that the place of transaction would definitely not be here.

"Did you see that at the end of this alley, the house with two door gods is pasted on the door. When you get there, knock three times and say it was introduced by Hou San." Hou San pointed to the side.

"Come on, I'm going to find my dad to get the pumpkin."

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he turned and left.

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 great difficulty.

Then, following the path Hou San pointed out, he found the house with the door god on the door.

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

"Who?"

"Hou San introduced me."

As soon as the words fell, there was the sound of the door opening.

"come in."

Li Weidong carried the pumpkin into the yard, and as soon as he put it down, another figure turned around behind him, it was Hou San.

"It's all here, let's weigh it."

Li Weidong didn't care about the appearance of ghosts, or Hou San who had been secretly monitoring him. This was the first time for everyone, and it was normal to be cautious.

"Hey, your pumpkin is big enough."

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

After weighing, a total of 114 catties.

An average of 38 catties.

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

"I think you are an honest person, little brother. This time, let's count it at seven yuan. The flour is eight cents a catty, and you can exchange it for eight catties and seven taels. If you still have this kind of pumpkin in the future, you can come here directly, and it will all be based on this." price." Hou San said openly.

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

Li Weidong nodded, but he had already decided in his heart that if he traded with the other party two or three times at most, he would have to withdraw.

Going to the black market to exchange food is okay occasionally, but in the long run, it is easy to cause accidents.

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

In this way, the hidden dangers can be minimized without anyone noticing.

Besides, in this era, he never thought about doing something earth-shattering, eating and drinking enough, and finding a warm bed, chic and unrestrained, is enough.

If you really want to make money, it’s not too late to wait until the 80s.

"Ten or eight is not too little, and one or two hundred is not too many." Hou San said with a smile.

In this transaction, just the difference in the price, he could say that he earned two yuan.

If the profit of flour is counted, it will undoubtedly be more.

"The country can only point to these pumpkins for the winter, and they can't possibly bring them all. By the way, Brother Hou, can you get unprocessed wheat?" Li Weidong asked calmly.

"Unprocessed? Why do you want that thing?" Hou San asked puzzled.

"Hey, to tell you the truth, my elder brother has a tumor in his throat, and he can't swallow coarse grains at all, so he had to change some flour, and he drank several bowls of traditional Chinese medicine every day, and his urine was bitter.

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

"Little brother, just for your brotherhood, I'll get you some too. How much do you want? I'll give you fifty cents per catty." Hou San said, patting his chest.

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

Because of the special nature of the game farm, he plans to plant only half of the acre of wheat, and the rest can be planted with sweet potatoes or other things.

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

The reason why Li Weidong wanted ten catties was that he was worried that it was too little and the other party was too lazy to get it, and the second was that he didn't want to be too troublesome.

After all, every day the land is idle is a waste.

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

"Yes." Li Weidong did not refuse.

For three days, he can ripen more pumpkins.

You can change something more next time.

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

"What is the background of the other party? There will be no trouble, right?"

"It's okay, Lengtouqing, if you really want to trouble us, you won't trade pumpkins for flour." Hou San shook his head and said calmly.

With the pair of eyes he trained on the black market, he dare not say that he can see [-]% of the eyes, but he is [-]% to [-]% confident.

Just now he saw that the other party was acting, but so what?
Everyone is the son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, the eldest brother does not say the second brother.

And he wasn't afraid that Li Weidong would lead people to make trouble. Who doesn't have a foothold in his line of work?

His name is Hou San today, maybe he will be called Zhang Si tomorrow.

Li Weidong delivered the flour to the warehouse of the game farm as soon as he left the door, and then continued to wander on the black market with an empty basket.

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

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

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

"Ouch!"

In the next second, a limp body slammed into his arms, caught off guard, and the basket in his hand fell to the ground.

 Thanks to Changbai 0577 for the reward.

  Thanks to the other side of the sky, stonesun97, Sm-is Meng Mo Wen Xidong, mechanical stray cat, book friend 20210910100437560 and other brothers for their votes.

  And thanks to almost all the brothers who have collected and have been following up.

  It is undoubtedly a blessing that the tender seedlings, which are only [-] just now, can be cared for.

  The author can only write books with more heart to repay everyone.
