Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

In the afternoon, Zhou Tian planned to go out to buy some New Year's goods, and also go to the market to see if there was any other meat he could buy. After all, it was really difficult for him to take out the meat in the space at this time.

Shortly after finishing his meal, Zhou Tian said hello to his wife, then pushed his bicycle and started strolling around Qianmen Street.

Qianmen Street is indeed one of the most prosperous streets in the city. Although it is a year of disaster, there are still many people coming to Qianmen Street for shopping, especially at the Fuyunlou Meat Shop and Daoxiangcun on Qianmen Street, where there are long queues at the door.

Zhou Tian’s scalp felt tingling after seeing this.

After another round, Zhou Tian rode his bike to Xiheyan Vegetable Market. As the vegetable market closest to Qianmen Street, Xiheyan Vegetable Market is one of the earliest vegetable markets in the old city, but it is slightly smaller than Dongdan Vegetable Market and Chaoyang Vegetable Market.

When Zhou Tian arrived at the Xiheyan vegetable market, it was crowded with people.

But since he was already there, Zhou Tian could only force his way in and slowly follow the crowd as he walked around. Unfortunately, after walking around, there was no meat, not even some of the stalls that usually sold game.

After leaving Xiheyan Vegetable Market disappointed, he rode his bike to Dongdan Vegetable Market. Compared with Xiheyan Vegetable Market, Dongdan Vegetable Market is indeed several times larger than Xiheyan Vegetable Market.

There are quite a few things for sale here, including braised meat and pastries, but the prices are even higher than those in Daoxiangcun and Fuyunlou. Even so, as soon as they are put on display, they are quickly sold out.

Zhou Tian was walking and looking around. Just as he came to a stall selling pastries and was about to ask the price, there was suddenly a commotion in the crowd.

"Everyone, hurry up, there's pork for sale in front of the last stall at the west end!"

"What, where, where, go!"

"Really? Let's go!"

In an instant, as the crowd became agitated, many people immediately ran to the west. Seeing this situation, Zhou Tian also followed the crowd to the west, and arrived at the stall at the west end.

I only heard a big man inside yelling, "Don't push, don't push, pork is 1.5 yuan a pound! We have it all, we have it all, don't push!"

"One dollar and fifty cents, isn't that too expensive? Aren't they usually eighty cents?"

"80 cents? What price is that? Don't you see what time it is now? If you can buy it for 1.5 yuan, you're already lucky! On the black market, pork is already 2 yuan!"

Listening to the discussions of the people in front of him, Zhou Tian couldn't help but be shocked.

Has the situation reached this point? What about food? Has the price of food also increased?

Logically speaking, things wouldn't have come to this point, but then he thought of the wind direction above, and he could only smile bitterly inwardly.

Soon, Zhou Tian followed the crowd to the stall and saw a big man wielding a knife and chopping meat skillfully. Finally, it was Zhou Tian's turn. The big man asked without even raising his head, "How many pounds?"

"Master, give me five pounds!"

"Five pounds, are you sure?"

The big man listened to Zhou Tian's words, immediately raised his head and looked at him and asked.

"Sure!"

"Okay then, seven dollars and fifty cents. Pay first!"

Zhou Tian took out seven yuan and fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to him. The big man instantly flashed his knife, cut off a piece of meat and handed it to him.

"Okay, exactly five pounds!"

Zhou Tian took it and shook it, but didn't find any problem. He turned around and squeezed out of the crowd with the meat in his hand. However, the moment he came out, he was holding two pieces of meat in his hands. One piece was the one he had just cut from the big man, and the other was taken out from the space.

It weighs a total of twenty kilograms.

After skewering the meat together and carefully putting it into his backpack, he pushed the cart around the market again. In fact, he didn't want to do this. If it were a weekday, he might be able to pretend to go to the vegetable market and buy some meat to take back.

After all, everyone has enough meat, and with his salary, he can afford to eat meat every meal. But the problem is what year it is now, a disaster year, and coupled with the wind, everyone's life is difficult. Even if the family is not short of money, the problem is that even if you have money, you can't buy meat.

As for the meat processing plants, selling meat is even more impossible as the various factories cannot supply enough meat, let alone supplying private individuals.

After walking around and buying some expensive pastries, Zhou Tian pushed the cart back to Qianmen Street.

When he pushed the car in, he saw Chang Wu competing with Xiao Yang and the others. He instantly became curious and picked up his backpack and pastry box and walked over to take a look.

"Hello, Chief!"

When Xiao Wu saw Zhou Tian coming over, he immediately saluted.

"Hello, Chief!"

When the others saw Zhou Tian, ​​they immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Okay, everyone relax a bit, and continue!"

Zhou Tian saw Chang Wu and Xiao Yang also stopped, waved his hands and smiled.

"Yes, Chief!"

Seeing that the leader was not angry, Chang Wu responded and started confronting Xiao Yang again.

Perhaps because Zhou Tian was standing by, or perhaps because Chang Wu didn't want the leader to look down on him, Chang Wu immediately took a step forward and rushed towards Xiao Yang, punching Xiao Yang in the face with his right fist.

Xiao Yang was startled by Chang Wu's sudden acceleration at first. After coming to his senses, he raised his hands and kicked Chang Wu in the lower body.

Then the two of them instantly started fighting like two tigers. Although it looked very fierce, every move was aimed at the opponent's vital points.

But Zhou Tian could see that the two men were very measured in the strength they used. Even if they hit each other, it would only cause pain for two or three days at most.

If he guessed correctly, Chang Wu and Xiao Yang should have used the improved grappling techniques and dragon-tiger claws used in the military.

They just retained the most brutal moves, but judging from their skills, they didn't even reach the level of traditional Chinese martial arts. However, Zhou Tian was already used to this.

After all, the only person he had seen who could be called a master over the years was the leader of the enemy spies, and he was only a master of dark energy. As for the others, he had never seen them.

Maybe there are many masters in the country. At least, Zhou Tian has never seen any.

Although the fight between the two was very exciting in front of outsiders, in his eyes, both of them were no more than children in terms of strength and moves. If he went up, neither Chang Wu nor Xiao Yang would be able to withstand even one of his moves.

After looking for a while, Zhou Tian quietly left the front yard, passed through the hanging flower gate and walked towards the third courtyard.

"Wife, look what I bought?"

As soon as Zhou Tian walked into the third courtyard, he shouted towards the house.

"Boss, what did you buy?"

Shen Yulin's voice quickly came out from the room, and as soon as the voice fell, Shen Yulin lifted the door curtain and walked out.
