Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 205 Food
Xie Xiaohui took out the ticket he brought from his pocket, "I want half a catty of brown sugar."

"There is no more brown sugar, now there is only white sugar, half a catty of white sugar costs 4 cents, do you want it?" Seeing the sugar ticket that Xie Xiaohui took out, the salesperson's expression improved a lot.

"Yes." Xie Xiaohui handed the candy ticket to the salesperson. No matter what kind of candy, buy it first and then talk about it. Besides, he didn't give much hope that he could buy brown sugar the most. He just thought what if he got it?

He is not too disappointed that he can't buy brown sugar now.

While the salesperson was filling him with sugar, Xie Xiaohui complained to Zhang Yu: "I have been here several times, but I haven't bought brown sugar, and I don't know when the supply and marketing agency will buy brown sugar?"

"No way, the brown sugar distributed by our supply and marketing cooperative this year is already low, and it's not a coincidence that you came here." After hearing Xie Xiaohui's words, the salesman seemed to realize who he was, sighed, and then replied.

There is no way, the supply of brown sugar is limited, they will buy some as soon as the goods are available, and then save some for relatives and friends, isn't there not much left?

As far as this is concerned, she still thinks it is too little. In order not to cause turmoil, they dare not keep too much, for fear that some people will think that they have left all the brown sugar, and people will make trouble after a long time.

Xie Xiaohui just smiled at the salesman's words but didn't answer, obviously he also knew the tricks in it.

I just took out the money and tickets, and bought the salt, soy sauce, and matches that the family told me.

Then he glanced at Zhang Yu beside him, turned around and asked for two catties of walnut cake.

At this time, Zhang Yu had seen enough, and through the observations of the past few days, he also knew that there was not much food in his grandfather's house.

Although thanking the family for their shrewdness, they also stockpiled a batch of food, but it is estimated that there is not much left after eating it.

In addition, another one of him came over, eating one more person's ration every day, and the food went down even faster.

Moreover, in the eyes of the world, the Xie family was completely bankrupt and had no choice but to return to their hometown.

The Xie family managed to erase their past with great difficulty, and they would never destroy it just because of a little difficulty.

Two days ago, he heard his grandma and grandpa discussing what to exchange for food.

Thinking of this, he patted Xie Xiaohui beside him and said, "I seem to see an acquaintance just now, I'll go say hello, you should go shopping here first."

"I'm going with you?"

"No, no, I'm such a big man, I can't lose it."

After listening to Zhang Yu's words, Xie Xiaohui didn't say anything more. Besides, he actually had some things to do. Can he not see things that Zhang Yu can see?
When he came to town this time, he also wanted to ask his friends who worked at the grain station if they could sell him some grain.

"Okay, I have something to do later, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the state-run hotel later."

"Okay, I'll go there and wait for you after I say hello."

After speaking, Zhang Yu wandered here and there to find a place where no one was around. He found a betel from the space, put two pieces of bacon in it, some sausages, a small jar of oil weighing five catties, and 50 catties of oil. rice.

Speaking of these rice, it can be said that it is not easy to come by. In order to grow these rice, he spent two months transforming a three-acre paddy field in the space.

Although it was only using consciousness to transform, it was still very tiring, and the feeling of being emptied of consciousness was not much easier than doing a day's work.

After the rice was planted, in order to shell it, Zhang Yu also found someone to build a stone mill for himself, and ground the rice bit by bit into rice.

Compared with the rice he got from the system check-in, the rice looked rougher, some of the rice still had chaff on it, and some broken rice was mixed in.

But I have to say that the rice he made by himself is more in line with this era, and it can be taken out more openly.

The 50 catties of rice that Zhang Yu took out this time is this kind.

In addition, there is a pig in the secret space that has grown up, and it should be killed. Use the consciousness to control the secret space to kill the pig, because it is fed with pure grain and various vegetables, and no feed is useless. In addition, Zhang Yu It was well fed and fed a lot of things. This pig had five fingers of fat, and the whole pig was seven fat and three thin.

In the eyes of people of this age, it is estimated that this is the best pork, but in Zhang Yu's eyes, it is a bit fat.

But Zhang Yu thought, compared to lean meat, the Xie family must prefer fatty meat, at least if it can replenish oil and water, it will be a complete victory.

Five catties of suet and five catties of pork belly were cut from this pig.

Just when he felt that everything was done and was about to go to the entrance of the state-run hotel, he was stopped by an old woman.

"Young man, young man, don't go, wait for me, wait for me."

"Auntie, what's the matter with you?" Zhang Yu asked a little vigilantly. He remembered that when he took out something from the secret space just now, he deliberately observed for a long time to make sure that there was no one around. Someone saw it.

So what did the old woman who called to stop him want to do?
Seeing Zhang Yu's vigilance, the old woman hurriedly said, "Young man, I see that you have a lot of things on your back, can you give me some, and I will give you the money." Then she opened the handkerchief in her hand , A thick wad of money was displayed in front of Zhang Yu.

Then he explained: "I just saw that you went in empty-handed, but now you come out with a big back on your back, and the shoulder straps are almost stretched into your flesh, so there must be a lot of stuff inside.

Can I have some instead?According to the highest price. "

Only then did Zhang Yu realize where he had exposed his flaws.

It seems that we need to pay more attention in the future. People in this era just have less access to information, and it's not that they are not smart.

And some people have lived most of their lives, and the life wisdom they have accumulated cannot be underestimated.

Seeing the longing eyes of the old woman, Zhang Yu was also afraid that she would not be able to buy anything from him, so he turned around and reported himself.

Although I feel that I have a secret space, if I throw things into the secret space, no one will be able to find it no matter how hard I search.

But this will bring trouble to the Xie family and expose the Xie family to the public.

"What price can you offer?" Another Zhang Yu also wanted to know how much the food on the black market has increased.

"Are you going to sell it to me?" The old woman asked in surprise. She came to ask Zhang Yu, but she just had a try mentality, not sure if Zhang Yu would sell it to her.

But she is really short of food now, and she might not let go of a little bit.

"I'll give you the highest price on the black market. Coarse grains are 1 yuan, and fine grains are 5 yuan. If you sell more, can I give you an extra 5 cents a catty?"

What the old woman said surprised Zhang Yu. When he came from Beijing, he also sold a batch of grain, and that batch of fine grain was only 3 yuan.
