Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

The pigeon market is the black market.

Trading here is illegal, so most people cover their faces and operate at night.

The reason why Liu Ping'an went there early in the morning.

This was because the original owner had reserved two chickens at the pigeon market yesterday and was planning to take them back to the countryside.

This coincides with Liu Ping'an's idea.

It just so happened that he had a spiritual spring space, so he could raise the chickens there. Maybe when he returned to the village he would have a bunch of chickens to eat.

It's just daybreak now.

The streets are already crowded with people.

Although they looked pale and their clothes were patched, they were full of energy, holding their heads high and full of hope for the future.

In addition to people, there were also a few bicycles on the wide street. They rang their bells and passed through the crowd quickly.

People passing by were envious.

In this era, owning a bicycle makes you the coolest guy on the street.

It is even more enjoyable than driving a luxury car in later generations.

In this era, there is a saying that "three turns and one sound", which refers to the sewing machine, bicycle, watch, and radio, also known as the four big items.

But the only things that can be shown off are bicycles and watches.

Most people don’t notice the latter, but large items like bicycles are more eye-catching.

Liu Ping'an was also very envious.

As a buyer, it is not very convenient not to have a bicycle.

"Now that I think about it, the skill of Scud is really good. I wonder if I can draw it in the future."

Liu Ping'an was thinking while eating two fried dough sticks he had just bought.

Now is a difficult period and prices are rising. A fried dough stick costs 4 cents, and Liu Ping'an spent almost 1 cents on two fried dough sticks and soy milk.

Don't underestimate this 1 cent, even though the price of eggs has increased from 1 cent to 3 cents each.

But 1 cents can still buy 3 eggs.

Scrambled eggs are considered a meat dish.

It was just that Liu Ping'an had just traveled through time and wanted to try what his old breakfast tasted like. If anyone else had seen him, they would have called him a prodigal.

After breakfast, Liu Ping'an also arrived near Pigeon City.

At a glance, he saw a tall and thin man hiding in the alley and waving at him.

If you stand at the entrance of the alley and look around at this time, you may easily be mistaken for a spy by the general public. If you are reported, you will have to go to the police station.

When Liu Ping'an saw the tall and thin man waving at him, he walked over calmly.

This tall and thin man was the vendor Liu Ping'an had arranged with last night. When Liu Ping'an walked over, he asked, "Did you bring it?"

"Of course I did. Did you bring money?"

"What do you think? Let me take a look at the goods first. I won't accept them if they are of poor quality."

Let alone now, even if this conversation was heard by the public in the future, they probably wouldn't be able to explain it even if they went to the police station.

The tall man still trusted Liu Ping'an. He took him to the end of the alley, grabbed two chickens from the pile of cages and handed them to him.

"A cock and a hen. I got the hen with great difficulty."

Liu Ping'an lifted the two chickens in his hands with disdain.

The two chickens looked sick and not very heavy. Liu Ping'an estimated that they weighed about three kilograms each.

"how much is it?"

"5 dollars, 2 dollars for a rooster and 3 dollars for a hen."

Liu Ping'an didn't expect that this old guy looked cunning, but was actually quite fair.

At this time, the price of chicken has risen to 7 cents per pound. A live chicken weighing about five pounds costs about 2 to 3 yuan, and you need a ticket.

Liu Ping'an didn't bargain and happily handed the tall man 5 yuan.

The tall man didn't expect Liu Ping'an to give him money so readily. He put the money in his pocket and said happily, "Brother, you are so kind. My name is Pan Acheng. You can come to me if you need to buy anything in the future."

"Can you get the three-turn-one-ring ticket, too?"

"Yes, it's a little expensive, but not much more. Do you want it now?"

When Pan Acheng heard that there was more business coming, his eyes lit up and he exhaled a breath of hot air and rubbed his hands.

"I don't want it now, I'll find you later."

Liu Ping'an waved his hand, and Pan Acheng nodded without saying anything.

He looked around and went into the alley. After turning several corners, he disappeared from Liu Ping'an's sight.

"What a great escape artist."

When Liu Ping'an saw him leaving and there was no one around, he put the two chickens into the Lingquan space.

The Lingquan space will arrange the destination of the things Liu Ping'an puts in by itself, and Liu Ping'an does not need to enter the space. He can control everything in the space with his mind.

For example, if Liu Ping'an puts seeds in, the space will automatically sow them.

When the seeds are mature, they will be automatically harvested, shelled and stored in a warehouse, and the seeds will be left for sowing again.

After putting the chicken away, Liu Ping'an walked out of the alley and headed towards the moat.

Now affected by drought, there is a great demand for water resources.

Especially after 1961, the impact of the drought expanded, spreading to the Yellow River, Huai River and the entire Yangtze River basin.

As a result, the moat is almost dry, and only the lakes in a few parks can still barely hold on.

Liu Ping'an went there now mainly to see the fish and shrimp in the river.

There is a small river in his space that never dries up, so he doesn't have to worry about water problems.

It's a good opportunity to see if I can raise some fish and shrimp to enrich the natural resources, so that I don't have to wait until the middle of the year when I want to eat and can't find anywhere.

The moat was not far away, and Liu Ping'an could even see the rocks on the bottom of the water at a glance.

This certainly doesn't mean that the river water is clear, but that the water is almost visible to the bottom.

When Liu Ping'an arrived at the river, he pulled on his shoes, pulled up his trouser legs, and went into the water to start fishing.

The water was not frozen, but the temperature was low, and he couldn't help shivering as soon as he entered.

Thinking about the days when he would have no food to eat, Liu Ping'an gritted his teeth and persevered.

Although the bottom of the water was clearly visible, Liu Ping'an did not see many fish or shrimps.

He thought about it and tried to use space absorption.

The next second, he saw two or three small fish and shrimps enter the space and were thrown into the small river next to the farmland. They suddenly became full of energy and jumped back and forth in the river.

Seeing this, Liu Ping'an pretended to be fishing and sucked in a lot of fish and shrimps until all the fish and shrimps near him were sucked up.

He pretended to be upset about having gained nothing and went ashore.

He did this because there were other people who also came to the moat to fish.

One of the guys even made a small fishing net.

A lot of small fish were caught.

"I don't know if it's illegal to use a fishing net to fish here. I'll come back next time to see if this guy is still here. If he is, I'll give it a try."

After getting ashore and wiping his feet, Liu Ping'an went straight back to the courtyard. At this time, many people had already gone out to work.

At the gate of the courtyard, an old man was wiping his bicycle.

"Uncle, you're going to work and you're still cleaning the car."

"Oh, it's Ping An."

Yan Bugui looked up and saw Liu Ping'an, and greeted him happily.

"If you don't clean the car once a day, it will get dirty easily. As a teacher, I can't let my students feel that they don't like cleanliness. Otherwise, how can I educate them?"

Yan Bugui spoke a lot of truths, but the smug smile on his face made Liu Ping'an want to laugh.

In this day and age, if you own a bicycle, you must take good care of it. Even if you are showing off, it is understandable.

Yan Bugui was usually very frugal and finally bought a bicycle.

How can you not let him show off?

"Third uncle is right. If you can't clean up your own house, how can you clean up the world? Third uncle's awareness is more than enough to be a grade director."

It's not shameful to say a few cheap words, not to mention that everyone is carrying your fancy sedan.

When Yan Bugui heard Liu Ping'an's words, wrinkles appeared on his old face due to laughter.

"You have to be a cadre to speak in a nice way."

"What kind of cadre is a clerk? Uncle, you are busy. I will go back to pack up first. I have to go to the countryside today."

"Okay, be safe."

During the conversation, Liu Ping'an had already left the gate and returned to the middle courtyard.

He came back not only to wait for Qin Huairu to bring something, but also to bring some other things to the countryside.

As soon as he opened the door, Liu Ping'an heard footsteps behind him.

"You didn't come back earlier. You kept me waiting for a long time. I have to go to the factory quickly."

As soon as Liu Ping'an entered the house, he saw Qin Huairu coming in hurriedly with a small bag. She put it at the door as soon as she entered the house, and then hurriedly walked towards the front door.

Liu Ping'an wanted to explain more, but his raised hand stopped in mid-air.

"never mind……"

Liu Ping'an shrugged, closed the door, opened the bag and saw that it was filled with sorghum flour, about one and a half pounds.

"It's not easy for Sister Qin either."

According to his understanding of Qin Huairu, most of this grain was saved by her.

Liu Ping'an put the bag directly into the space, walked into the bedroom and opened a cabinet.

There was a small jar of sugar and a box of vanishing cream in the cupboard.

These were the rewards Liu Ping'an received from his leaders when he was working in a small factory. Although they were not much, they were still good things.

Ten candies cost 1 cent each, so this small jar is worth a few cents.

Vanishing cream is more valuable, but the original owner doesn't use it on a regular basis, so it would be a waste to keep it, so it's better to bring it all back.

Liu Ping'an took out a big flour bag and put all these things in it.

He went back to the kitchen, scooped four pounds of sorghum flour from the flour jar and put it into the space, then he finished preparing everything.

"That's all. We'll talk about it when we get to the village."

There was nothing in Liu Ping'an's house, so he carried a large flour bag out of the door, closed the door, and pretended that the bag was not light as he walked out of the courtyard.
