Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chapter 70 Parting and Death

night.

Chen Xu was ready to go. Now that he knew the location of the black market, it was impossible for him not to go there.

In fact, he went to the black market more to check the current prices. After all, as a buyer, he was somewhat unhappy about the repeated problems of being unable to determine the prices. He planned to improve his professional knowledge.

Of course, if you see something you like, it would be a good idea to buy it.

Following the location given by the old man selling fishing rods, Chen Xu quickly found the more hidden black market.

Then, Chen Xu was greatly disappointed.

How come the scale of this market has shrunk so much compared to the last time? It is basically no different from the second black market he found.

There was a pitch-black alley with dozens of stalls on both sides.

Now that I'm here and have paid the entrance fee, I'd better take a look.

Chen Xu now checked each stall with ease.

Not long after, Chen Xu, who had originally given up hope, suddenly brightened up.

"Brother, how much is this deer leg?"

What I saw in front of me was a dried deer leg, but it was complete and looked well preserved.

"A ticket costs 1.2 yuan."

"Do you need a ticket for dry goods?"

“Isn’t this meat?”

"Forehead..."

Chen Xu was speechless. It was indeed meat, but he also understood why it couldn't be sold. You needed a ticket to sell it on the black market. Who would buy it? You might as well try taking it to the pigeon market.

Compared with the one he bought from Lin Qing, it was two cents more expensive. Chen Xu began to wonder whether he should buy it. After all, he could make more money by selling it to the factory.

"One piece. I want it."

"Not for sale."

The boss was so angry that Chen Xu left immediately.

Today Director Chen offered a high price of two dollars and fifty cents, but it is hard to say what will happen to it in the future. Although this deer leg is well preserved, it is not big, probably only seven or eight kilograms, so it doesn't matter whether you buy it or not.

The most important thing is that he doesn't think this thing can be sold. It's good enough that there are people on the black market willing to trade for the ticket, but he is still making excuses.

Nowadays, dry goods are not popular. Unless someone like Chen Xu supplies them specially for factory leaders, no one would buy them.

The guy watched Chen Xu leave, opened his mouth, but ultimately did not call out to Chen Xu.

Chen Xu continued to move forward and after taking a few steps, someone patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, do you want more bran..."

Chen Xu: ...

"How did you recognize me?"

"You were talking to that boss just now, and I recognized your voice."

"By the way, shouldn't you be in another black market? Why are you here?"

"Who told you we only have one black market?"

"Uh, that's great."

Chen Xu said that he really didn't know there was such a thing. A cunning rabbit has three burrows? These guys really have some skills.

"Do you want it or not? The same price as before, all you can eat!"

"No, why do I need so much bran? I felt I bought too much last time."

Chen Xu decisively refused and bought a thousand kilograms of bran, which made the free space in the stuff space much smaller. In addition, Chen Xu expanded the pond, and now there was no room for even a bed.

"That's a shame. It's rare to find big customers like you who buy bran these days."

"Can you be more ambitious? You sell bran every day. People who don't know you would think you are raising pigs."

Chen Xu had dealt with this guy twice, so he spoke to him more casually.

The other party remained silent.

"Do you think we can make more money if we raise pigs?"

Chen Xu was a little frustrated by this guy's wild imagination. I just casually said, you really want to raise pigs.

"as long as you are happy."

Chen Xu had no intention of continuing to chat with this guy. He planned to go back to sleep after shopping in the black market.

"Hey, don't go, do you want something else?"

"What's there?"

"You just asked about the dry goods."

"You guys have this thing too?"

"Yes, quite a lot..."

"Is this also what you hoarded during the disaster year?"

"Can you please not mention this..."

Chen Xu was a little impressed by these guys' backgrounds, but was speechless about this group of guys who were as stupid as donkeys.

You hoarded dry goods during a famine? Did your boss teach you to do that? If you didn't lose a lot of money, you have a solid foundation.

"Can't you just stock up on something else, even fresh meat?"

"You thought we didn't hoard it, but it's already been sold, right?"

Chen Xu understood. These guys had hoarded everything. The other items that were easy to sell had naturally been sold. Now the remaining items were those that no one was willing to buy, so naturally they were stuck in their hands.

"Tell me, how much do you want?"

"No."

Chen Xu refused decisively. He still had dozens of kilograms in his space. He would wait and see the situation tomorrow. It was impossible for the leader to give him special treatment every day. If he bought too much and got stuck with it, wouldn't he have the same IQ as these guys?

"Don't you want to ask more?"

"I'm just asking, who knew it was so expensive? With this money I might as well go to the market and buy fresh ones."

"Forehead..."

The other party was speechless. This was the reason why they couldn't sell it. This stuff was more expensive than the fresh ones. It was not easy for ordinary people to eat meat nowadays, so why would they have the time to buy dried goods?

After going around and getting nothing, Chen Xu left the black market speechlessly.

Standing at the entrance of the pitch-black alley, Chen Xu wondered whether to go back or go to another black market. However, when he thought that both black markets were filled with these guys, Chen Xu lost interest and guessed that was it.

I looked at the alarm clock, it was 1:46. Never mind, I'll go back to bed early.

The next day, when Chen Xu got up, it was already ten o'clock. He had not rested well during this period and could not get up for a while.

After standing in horse stance in the space for half an hour, Chen Xu was exhausted again. What would Lin Chan think if he knew that this guy really insisted on doing it for half an hour every day.

After the exercise, Chen Xu was originally just sleepy, but now he was tired and sleepy. He yawned and went out, and as soon as he arrived at the Intermediate Courtyard, he saw a scene of life and death.

Yu Shui hugged her father's thighs and cried loudly, while He Daqing stood at the door with a helpless look on his face.

"Yushui, Dad has to work too. Someone will take care of the things at home when the time comes. You can just eat at school from now on."

Unfortunately, He Daqing was talking at cross purposes. Yu Shui only knew that his father was going to run away again, and he refused to let go no matter what.

There were some old ladies surrounding him. It was obvious that the others had already gone to work, so Chen Xu was an outlier.

Chen Xu didn't expect that He Daqing was planning to leave so soon. Sha Zhu was just sentenced yesterday, and this guy planned to return to Baoding today.

But it's true. Sha Zhu's matter is over. It's not convenient for him to stay in Sijiu City, especially now that he has lost his house. There is no point in him staying.

Now that the Xu family didn't come to chase him away, they were already giving him face.

Looking at Yu Shui who was crying like a little cat, Chen Xu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing the father and daughter glaring at him, Chen Xu felt a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, you guys continue, continue, I'm going to work first."

After Chen Xu's interruption, Yu Shui couldn't cry anymore, but she still didn't let go and looked at her father pitifully. He Daqing met Yu Shui's expectant eyes and suddenly felt a headache.
