Happy Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 565
Under the cover of night, the lights of the courtyard had already been extinguished, and the surroundings gradually fell into silence.

As time passed slowly, after three o'clock in the morning, there was a sudden rustling sound in the courtyard of Dongxiaokua, and occasionally a few cat meows.

It didn't take long to come from the alleys behind the yard, a sound of a rumor, and then the sound gradually drifted away, and soon it fell into a silence.

On the deserted street, Lin Tieniu rode his bicycle slowly, feeling the cold wind blowing in front of him, and his spirit was slightly lifted.

After these days of accumulation, there are already nearly [-] eggs in the primary ecological space. Instead of waiting for those hens to hatch these eggs into chicks, it is better to sell these eggs and then buy some hens that can lay eggs. The chicken is back.

At the same time, he also wanted to see if he could find a more reliable next door in the black market and provide them with a fixed supply of eggs. Otherwise, it would be difficult to sell them all at once based on the individual customers who came to the black market to buy things. More eggs.

Moreover, he didn't want to waste his time on it. With this time, he might as well do some fitness exercises with Qin Jingru, Lou Xiaoe and others.

Even if he can't find a reliable next door, he can at least sell the eggs to the rolling mill by virtue of the part-time buyer status he got before.

With the number of his eggs of two to three thousand per month, it is nothing to the rolling mill. Calculated according to the market price, it is just a small business of one or two hundred yuan, which will not attract attention at all. .

However, if you can keep a low profile, you still have to keep a low profile as much as possible. If you can disguise yourself as another person on the black market to ship the goods, it will definitely be safer.

Before long, the black market arrived.

Lin Tieniu disguised himself as a farmer with a rough face. First, he walked around the black market a few times and bought six laying hens for an extra 13 yuan. Then he left the black market with the hens and found a hidden place. Put the hen into the primary ecological space in the corner, and take out the eggs accumulated in the space by the way.

A total of 183 eggs, all plump and large, were packed in a small bamboo basket by him and covered with a piece of burlap.

After tidying up, he carried the small bamboo basket back to the black market.

When the organizer of the black market saw Lin Tieniu coming back with a bamboo basket, he immediately paid attention to it, and also took the initiative to point Lin Tieniu to a place with a better location.

After all, those who buy so many hens at one time like Lin Tieniu are typical big customers. The larger the transaction amount, the more benefits they can extract from it.

However, Lin Tieniu did not set up a stall at the location indicated by the black market organizer, but walked directly in front of the black market organizer and asked softly, "Do you accept eggs?"

Generally speaking, in addition to extracting benefits from private transactions, black market organizers will also back up those who come to the black market to sell things, lower the price of those unsold materials, and then sell them through some secret channels.

Doing so can not only ensure the attractiveness of the black market, but also bring a lot of money to the black market organizers.

The reason why Lin Tieniu directly approached the black market organizers was because the strength of the black market organizers was considered to be the greatest in the entire black market on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also because even if he could find a home in the black market, he would eventually be unable to avoid the black market. The organizers are watching.

It's better to be more straightforward than to spend more time.

The organizers of the black market were slightly taken aback when they heard Lin Tieniu's words, and then saw the basket full of eggs, and brought Lin Tieniu to their leader without saying a word.

Gong Zongbao looked at the eggs in the bamboo basket after hearing what his subordinates had said, and immediately smiled enthusiastically: "Master, we can accept your eggs, but the price is not enough."

The implication is that the price will not be too high.

According to the scarcity of materials, the purchase price given by the black market organizers is generally [-]% to [-]% of the market price, and eggs are hard currency, basically at [-]% of the price.

Lin Tieniu was also surprised by this, and asked directly: "Please make a price! If it is suitable, I will sell it to you."

"Besides, these eggs are nothing at all. From now on, I can get at least 2000 eggs every month. Whether I can eat them or not depends on your sincerity."

"Is this true?"

Gong Zongbao's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic.

Although more than 2000 eggs a month does not seem like a lot, but in this era of scarcity, eggs can be regarded as the most popular hard currency. Not only are they more durable, but they also have high nutritional value.

Therefore, even if it is purchased at the market price, it is still profitable, let alone more than 2000 pieces a month.

"Of course it's true, believe it or not!"

Lin Tieniu met Gong Zongbao's gaze, nodded calmly and said.

"Okay, if you can guarantee to sell us no less than 2000 eggs every month, then we can charge you at the market price, what do you think?"

Gong Zongbao took a careful look at Lin Tieniu's expression and found no signs of lying or bragging, so he offered the price very readily.

"Deal! From now on, every month on the 15th of the first month, I will bring eggs over, and guarantee that each time it will not be less than 1000 pieces. At that time, we will get both money and goods."

Lin Tieniu pondered for a while, then nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, just do as you say!"

Gong Zongbao nodded with a smile and agreed, and then immediately signaled his men to count the eggs.

According to the current market price, if there is no egg ticket, an egg can be sold for five cents.

There are a total of 183 eggs, or a total of nine dollars and a half cents.

After Gong Zongbao reported the amount, he immediately took out the money from his pocket and handed it to Lin Tieniu.

However, Lin Tieniu did not reach out to pick it up, but asked with a smile, "Can you change it into a cloth ticket for me?"

Although the primary ecological space can be planted and raised, but for the time being, cotton and silk cannot be provided, so he needs to get some cloth tickets first, and buy some cloth for himself and Qin Jingru to make clothes.

"Yes, of course. A foot of cloth costs eighty-nine cents. How much do you want?"

Gong Zongbao was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then hurriedly asked with a smile.

In this way, he has done business twice, and his profit has more than doubled.

"Well, change them all for me! Change the rest to food stamps."

Lin Tieniu pondered for a while, and then replied softly.

"okay!"

Gong Zongbao agreed with a smile, and then quickly calculated in his heart.

Nine yuan and fifteen cents can be exchanged for a ten-foot cloth ticket, and there is still twenty-five cents left, which can be exchanged for a catty of food stamps.

Soon, he stuffed the money back into his pocket, and then took out the corresponding receipt and handed it to Lin Tieniu.

"Thanks! See you later!"

Lin Tieniu reached out to take the receipt and looked at it, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he said goodbye with a smile, then turned around and left quickly.

While it was still early, he had to go to several other black markets to see if he could get together a hundred laying hens as soon as possible.

Nowadays, in the primary ecological space, there are only more than 50 hens that can lay eggs, and they can lay more than 1500 eggs at most in a month, which is still a little far from 2000 eggs.

Moreover, he can't sell all the eggs, and he has to set aside some of them for eating, as well as hatching chicks, so he has to get together 100 hens as soon as possible.

Gong Zongbao looked at the back of Lin Tieniu leaving, with a thoughtful look on his face.

At first, he thought that Lin Tieniu was a man who was working in a farm, but when he heard Lin Tieniu's request to exchange notes, he didn't feel like it.

So, what is the background of this grandfather?

After thinking for a while, he didn't think of any clues, so he could only get to know him slowly after contacting him later.

Most importantly, he wants to see if Lin Tieniu can provide other supplies. After all, if there are eggs, there must be hens. If he can buy a large number of hens through Lin Tieniu, then he can also get a bigger profit from it. profit.

As for asking someone to investigate Lin Tieniu, he had no such idea.

Among them, on the one hand, because the amount of the transaction is not large, there is no need to startle the snake for this little money.

On the other hand, it is also considering the reputation of the black market. There is no need to lose the big because of the small. If the reputation is bad, it will be in big trouble.

Time passed by, and it was almost five o'clock in the morning.

On the street, Lin Tieniu rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill with a leisurely expression on his face. There were also 26 more laying hens in the primary ecological space, which was one step closer to the goal.

Next, he only needs to find time to go to the black market a few more times, and he should be able to get together 100 hens that lay eggs.

Although most of the hens he bought were old and frail, they could basically lay eggs for another three to four months in an environment with excellent primary ecological space.

At that time, he can completely hatch a batch of young hens to replace these old hens, and by the way, he can sell these old hens to get back the capital.

He can even keep these old hens for the purpose of hatching chicks, or stew some old hen soup for his women to replenish their bodies.

It can be said that there will be no waste at all.

Not long after, Lin Tieniu arrived at the canteen of the rolling mill. He inspected the work in the canteen first, then returned to his office and made himself a delicious breakfast in the primary ecological space.

After breakfast, he took out a large clay pot from the warehouse of the cafeteria, took out the rabbit meat prepared last night and put it in the clay pot, and then picked a large bowl of meat from it to keep, and planned to give it to Lan at a later date Koji.

The rest was distributed to the staff in the cafeteria according to the previous plan.

After eight o'clock in the morning, everyone in the cafeteria finished their breakfast and was cleaning all kinds of kitchen utensils and tableware in the back kitchen. Suddenly they saw Lin Tieniu walking in with a large clay pot, and they were a little surprised.

Afterwards, Liu Lan put down the work at the first moment, then trotted all the way to greet her and said with a smile, "Director Lin, I'll help you!"

As she spoke, she wanted to reach out and take the big clay pot.

"Well, take this clay pot and heat it up!"

Lin Tieniu smiled slightly, handed the big clay pot to Liu Lan, and then explained in a soft voice.

"Got it!"

Liu Lan agreed with a positive smile, and then put the big clay pot on the stove to start heating.

Everyone looked at this scene with some doubts, some did not understand what Lin Tieniu was doing?

Could it be that Lin Tieniu is planning to do something hard to invite Li Weihong and his group of leaders to dinner?
No matter what they thought, they never thought that Lin Tieniu wanted to invite them to eat meat, and it was extremely delicious rabbit meat.

After a while, as the temperature of the large clay pot continued to rise, a wisp of hot air emitted from the vent hole on the top of the clay pot cover.

what!
What's this smell?
smell good!
At this time, everyone in the cafeteria was stunned for a moment, and then they turned their eyes to the big clay pot on the stove, and their throats moved slightly.

Among them, Liu Lan had the strongest reaction.

Standing in front of the stove, smelling the tempting aroma blowing towards her face, her face was full of greed, and she almost couldn't help but want to lift the lid of the clay pot to take a bite.

Fortunately, her concentration was not bad, and she did not make such a rash move.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Tieniu felt a little happy, then got up from the chair and walked towards Liu Lan.

Seeing him coming, Liu Lan hurriedly stepped aside, with a flattering smile on her face, as if she hoped that Lin Tieniu would give her something delicious.

She couldn't forget the roast suckling pig before for a long time.

If she didn't have the ability to get the little piggy, she might want to ask Lin Tieniu to do it again.

Lin Tieniu didn't know Liu Lan's careful thinking. He glanced at Liu Lan and felt that the heat was almost ready, so he immediately planned to find an opportunity to have a showdown with Liu Lan in the next few days.

To avoid continuing to procrastinate, it really procrastinated into a master-student relationship.

Afterwards, he walked slowly to the stove and lifted the lid of the big clay pot with one hand.

The next moment, I saw a gust of white steam gushing out of the clay pot, and a burst of rich aroma instantly filled the entire back kitchen.

Then, under the eager eyes of everyone, Lin Tieniu turned around and said with a smile: "This time I can be the acting canteen director, thanks to everyone's strong support for me on weekdays, just yesterday a relative from the countryside Brought me a rabbit, and I plan to borrow flowers to present blessings and make a braised rabbit for everyone."

"Let's let Liu Lan share it among everyone!"

After finishing speaking, he signaled Liu Lan with his eyes to come over and share the rabbit meat with everyone.

Seeing this, Liu Lan was a little confused, and then hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the spoon under Lin Tieniu's urging.

After being stunned for a moment, the others rushed forward one after another in a hurry, and surrounded Liu Lan tightly, for fear that they would not be able to share the rabbit meat.

"What are you all doing? Line up for me, don't push forward!"

Seeing this situation, Liu Lan stared and scolded angrily.

When everyone heard the words, they immediately became a mess, and it took a long time before they calmed down and formed a line.

In order to ensure fairness, Liu Lan went to the mouth of the big clay pot to take a closer look at the rabbit meat inside, estimated the portion in her heart, and then shared it with everyone.

Lin Tieniu stood aside and looked at it for a while, and found that there was no problem, so he turned around and returned to his office quickly.

And those who received the rabbit meat first had already buried themselves in eating it.

Soon, the back kitchen was filled with exclamations and chewing sounds.
