The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Now the crackdown on the black market is very severe from all aspects. Once you are caught, no matter whether you are buying or selling, you will basically be imprisoned for a few days. If the sentence is light, the unit can take the person out, while if the sentence is heavy, you will be given nothing but peanuts.

Because the black market is not like the pigeon market. The pigeon market is just for ordinary people to trade, and at most they trade some food and meat.

The black market is a mixed bag, with antiques, yellow croakers, and all sorts of other things, so the authorities are cracking down on the black market.

This is what Liu Wu is struggling with. He is afraid that his ideas will harm Liu Minghui's future, so it is difficult for him to make a decision.

As if he had seen through Liu Wu's thoughts, Liu Minghui also said with a smile.

"Uncle, you are thinking too much. I know someone. I don't need to trade on the black market."

That's right. Liu Minghui planned to fabricate a fictitious person and then hand over the grain to Liujia Village. This way, he, Liu Minghui, would be just a connective person.

Liu Wu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"That's fine, that's fine."

After thinking for a while, Liu Wu continued speaking.

“I wonder how much I can buy?”

Liu Wu looked at Liu Minghui with a little nervousness. This was the main point. Liujia Village had a large population, several hundred people. If they bought too little, there wouldn't be enough to go around.

"Uncle, how much do you think you need? I'll go ask."

Liu Minghui did not answer, but asked Liu Wu instead. After all, there were plenty of things in the space, and the rations for just a few hundred people were still simple.

After hearing what Liu Minghui said, Liu Wu also started to calculate silently.

"There are more than 4,000 yuan in the village now. See how much you can buy. If possible, buy all of it."

Liu Wu directly told Liu Minghui about the situation in the village, and then looked at Liu Minghui with anticipation.

Corn flour would only cost one cent per pound at the grain station if you had a ticket, but now there is a food shortage and the price on the black market is at least two cents. The four thousand yuan from Liujia Village can only buy about 20,000 pounds.

Liu Minghui told Liu Wu the price he knew, and he also felt relieved after hearing it.

"That's good. With this batch of food, life will be much better this year."

Although these 20,000 kilograms of corn flour may seem like a lot, there are five or six hundred people in Liujia Village. If it is divided, it will only be enough food for each person for less than two months. However, if the villagers go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, it will be enough to eat for a long time.

Liu Wu agreed and went to the accountant to get the money. The money from the village could only be taken after Liu Wu and the accountant signed.

Liu Minghui was fine now, so he strolled around the village. He first went home to meet Liu's mother, then went to tell Aunt Liu the good news and told her about Liu Lin's pregnancy to make her happy.

Half an hour later, Liu Wu and the accountant came over carrying a bag. The accountant kept the wallet tightly in his arms.

"Minghui, this is the money. I'll leave the rest to you."

After Liu Wu took the money, he handed it to Liu Minghui, and shook Liu Minghui's hand tightly and said.

"Don't worry, uncle. I'll drive over this evening."

Liu Minghui planned to make a quick decision and finish the work as soon as possible. The steel rolling mill’s trucks could not be occupied all the time.

"Really? I'll wait then."

Liu Wu was very happy to hear that Liu Minghui would be over in the afternoon, and quickly told Liu Minghui to be careful.

Liu Minghui did not return to Sijiu City in the afternoon. He found a place to sleep. When the sun was about to set, Liu Minghui filled the truck with the prepared food, and then drove the truck slowly to Liujia Village.

"The big car is coming."

There were quite a few people waiting at the entrance of the village, including some children. When they saw Liu Minghui driving over, they all cheered.

Liu Wu had been waiting here with a few young people. Only when he saw them arrive did Liu Wu feel relieved.

"Go home quickly and stop surrounding us."

Liu Wu said to the children that he didn't want them to gather here, as it would be bad if they bump into each other.

"Boss, go use the loudspeaker to notify the villagers to come to the warehouse."

Liu Wu planned to distribute the grain quickly, otherwise there would be more trouble at night. He would not be afraid even if there were problems after distributing the grain.

Liu Minghui drove the car to the warehouse in Liujia Village as instructed by Liu Wu. This was a place for storing grain, but now it was empty, with nothing in it except some grain seeds and farm tools.

When all the villagers arrived, they were shocked when they saw the cart full of food.

Liu Wu didn't care about anything else and just stood on a high place and shouted.

"Do you see this truckload of food? These were bought by the village's Tou Minghui. We asked you to come here to distribute the food."

After Liu Wu finished speaking, everyone cheered.

"Really."

“Does our village have so much money?”

Many people had doubts, but someone gave an answer.

"Really, I saw the village went to the accountant to get the money this morning."

Although there were doubts, they finally turned into laughter.

"Why are you all still standing there? Young ones, help move."

Liu Wu waved his hand, and a dozen strong men started moving the food together. A few of them were on the cart, and the rest were continuing below. Soon, dozens of bags of grain were piled on the ground.

"It doesn't look like much, and it shouldn't be much after it's divided."

Some women were chattering nearby, calculating how much they would get.

The truck's load capacity is not that much now, and this is already as much as it can be loaded. After Liu Minghui and Liu Wu said something, they drove out to haul the goods. It took three trips to bring all the goods back.

"These are bought collectively, so they are divided by the number of hairs per person, 40 kilograms for adults and 20 kilograms for children. If there are any left, they will be left in the village first."

Liu Wu made arrangements in a swift and decisive manner. All the people who were responsible for distributing grain every year came out to work. Everyone was familiar with the process and it was done in just an hour or so.

Liu Minghui waited until the end and put all the bags of grain into the car. Liu Wu wanted Liu Minghui to stay in the village for one night and arranged a meal for him, but Liu Minghui refused.

I didn’t tell Yu Li that I was going out today, so I might as well go back.

It was already dark by this time and the steel mill had closed for business, so Liu Minghui drove his car to the gate of the courtyard, planning to drive back the next day.

The roar of the car attracted Yan Bugui. Seeing Liu Minghui getting out of the car, Yan Bugui walked over curiously.

"Where has Minghui been busy?"

"Uncle, it's nothing. I came back late today and the steel mill has already closed, so I'll just stop here for now."

After Liu Minghui got off the car, he started chatting with Yan Bugui, who looked envious after hearing what he said.

"Your job is good. You can drive around."

Liu Minghui smiled when he saw Yan Bugui's envious expression.

The job of driver is indeed very popular in this era, but Liu Minghui doesn't like it because the current steering wheel has no power steering and is too heavy. Although Liu Minghui is in good physical condition, someone else would not be able to bear driving for a whole day.

Leaving Yan Bugui alone, Liu Minghui planned to go home, but before he entered the door, Yan Bugui stopped him.
