Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

When he came back in the evening, he told his wife and Jiang Feng about it while eating. He Yushui was also listening and asked, "Brother, you are going to be an official, are you serious? From now on, I will leave my work to you."

"Go away, what do you know, kid? What kind of position is a deputy director of a canteen? Do you want to go in and help in the kitchen? Go find your cousin. He will be the deputy director of the workshop next year and work in the technical department. You should study hard and graduate from college. We will arrange for you to work as a clerk."

When He Yushui heard this, the fence-sitter quickly turned to Jiang Feng: "Cousin, I will rely on you from now on. You must work hard and become my leader."

"You're thinking too much. You're thinking about using backdoors and connections at this young age. If you want to get into college, you have to consider what major you choose. My technical department is full of men who roll around in the oil and dirt every day. Do you want to go?"

When she heard that she would have to get dirty, He Yushui lost interest. She thought it would be more comfortable to do a clerical job. Her family didn't rely on her for money anyway, so having a formal job would be enough.

Jiang Feng reminded them a few more times, telling them to shut up as things had not been decided yet and to be careful of anyone doing bad things. He Yuzhu and the others nodded repeatedly. He Yushui covered her mouth, and He Xiao saw her aunt covering her mouth and followed suit. They all laughed.

After dinner, He Yuzhu went to his master. When he arrived at Guo Mingsheng's house, he walked in with meat and chicken in his hands. After Li Xiaoyan finished her confinement, her master's wife went back soon. One reason was that the weather was cold and it was inconvenient for them to run back and forth. The other reason was that Xiaoyan was able to move now, so she let Xiaoyan take care of the household affairs.

When he reached the door, he called out, "Master, Master's Wife."

The master's wife came to open the door, stepped forward and patted the snow off He Yuzhu's body and said, "Zhuzi, why are you here so late? It's not easy to walk outside, so you don't have to run."

"I have something to ask Master." He Yuzhu handed the things to Master's wife, stamped his feet at the door, patted himself, and helped Master's wife into the house. Guo Mingsheng was sitting in the house, drinking tea and smoking. He raised his eyes and said, "I've asked about this morning. When the time comes, your second and fifth brothers will go over. Two people will be enough. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you."

"That's fine. I have something else to do today. It's Chinese New Year soon, and I want to invite you two to my place to celebrate the New Year."

After hearing this, Guo Mingsheng agreed without much thought, but still asked: "What kind of treatment will you get after you go in? Besides, haven't you always been doing special treatment? Will your second brother's going in affect you?"

"The salary is paid according to the chef's level. It has nothing to do with the small kitchen. I talked to the director today. The factory will promote a deputy director next year. I said hello first. Director Wang said he would help me put my name up. Then the small kitchen will be handled by the second senior brother. I will just help him on the side."

"You are such a talker. What level are you at? You can only help him. But when you go to the factory, you have to give more guidance to the two senior brothers. The factory doesn't have special cooking every day, so don't fall behind in your skills. It would be best if you can move up a level, but you have to remember that your main job is still a cook. Even if you are no longer the director one day, you can still make a living with your skills."

"Oh, I see. There should be nothing to do tomorrow afternoon. I'll come and pick you and Master's wife up."

"No, I still need to clean up the house, and it's not convenient to ride a bike. I'll walk there with your master's wife later."

"Okay, then I'll leave first."

"Well, come back early and be careful on the road."

The mistress sent He Yuzhu to the door and told him to ride slowly. He Yuzhu got on the bike and headed for the courtyard. Li Cuifang went into the house and said to Guo Mingsheng, "Old man, I wanted to say no. Look at the heavy snow outside. It's not easy to walk. If we go there tomorrow, we must send Zhuzi back. It will save trouble if we stay at home. Look at Zhuzi. He came here to get something again today."

"Just keep it, hang up the meat, and keep the chicken somewhere. Wait until Zhuzi comes to pay New Year's greetings and eat it. Zhuzi invited you, but you are being hypocritical. It's a good opportunity to go see Xiaoxiao. Zhuzi is filial, so just be content."

Li Cuifang was scolded by Guo Mingsheng, and she laughed when she thought about it. At that time, she was a little kid but she didn't think that now she has grown up, got married and become more sensible. People would come to give gifts during festivals. The old man is so old, and he finally found a treasure.

He Yuzhu returned home and said goodbye to Jiang Feng in the front yard, then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Jiang Feng returned to the house. Even with the stove on, he still felt cold. He packed up his things, closed the door and turned off the lights, then entered the space. He took off his clothes as soon as he entered. There was no difference between cold and hot weather in there. He took a shower first, then slowly picked up a book and began to read.

When the time was almost up, Jiang Feng slipped out again. He had to go get seeds tonight as he had an appointment with someone. He arrived at the Pigeon Market, the same place as yesterday. He took the two small bags from Sanzi, each bag weighing about two kilograms. The two nodded without saying anything. Jiang Feng walked around the Pigeon Market, but there was nothing good to buy. He walked to the black market, looked around, and found a few abandoned houses that might be useful later.

This was Jiang Feng's first time to come to the black market, which charges a fee. Jiang Feng paid a dime and walked in. He was a weakling before and didn't dare to come here for fear of being robbed. Later, when he could raise chickens and ducks in the space, he became even more lazy to come. If there weren't so many chickens and ducks in the space this time, he wouldn't want to come. Only here doesn't care about your source of goods. Now that his health is better, several people can't get close to him normally. If there is no other choice, he can only enter the space.

After entering, there were still many people scattered around. They spread a piece of cloth on the ground and put some things on it. If they wanted something, they would ask the price. Jiang Feng walked around and saw people selling antiques and yellow croaker, but they just put a small fish on it so as not to show off their wealth.

Jiang Feng didn't know much about antiques, and he didn't plan to buy any. He would wait two years before buying them. He could just exchange them for some food. Seeing someone guarding a wall, he walked over and asked in a low voice, "Brother, I have a big deal here. Are you interested?"

The man looked at Jiang Feng, but couldn't tell what he was doing. He was covered tightly, with only one eye exposed. "What big deal? Tell me about it."

"I have a road here, and several thousand chickens and ducks. I don't know if you can eat them all."

"There are thousands of them. Wait here."

Jiang Feng nodded, leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, lowered his head and started smoking, actually looking around, and after a while, the man came over and said, "Follow me."

Jiang Feng followed him into the house, passed a small courtyard, and entered another door. He saw a bald man sitting in the middle with a fierce look on his face. Jiang Feng stepped forward and bowed without saying anything. Someone next to him introduced him, "This is Master Niu. What can I do for you?"

"Hello, Master Niu. I have a big business deal here. I wonder if Master Niu is interested?"

"You are quite courageous. Since we are here to discuss business, please take a seat." Uncle Niu extended his hand and invited us to the table.

Jiang Feng walked over and sat down: "I'm not very courageous, but I'm quite skilled. I think Master Niu has been here for a long time, so he won't ruin his reputation for me."

"Oh, I met a martial artist, let's have a fight." Niu Ye stretched out his hand, and Jiang Feng also stretched out his hand confidently. Now Jiang Feng's strength has slowly increased for more than a month after taking the medicine, and now he can easily move He Yuzhu's arm.

As soon as the two started fighting, Niu Ye felt a huge force that seemed to crush his palm. Seeing Niu Ye's face turn red, Jiang Feng decided to stop while he was ahead, loosened his palm and said, "Niu Ye is really powerful. I feel like I'm holding a piece of steel. I can't hold on any longer. Excuse me."

Niu Ye took a deep breath, holding back the pain, and put his hands under the table to flex his fingers. He knew that people were giving him face, so he said, "Brother is really amazing. It's rare to find someone with the same grip strength as me. What's your name, brother?"

"Uncle Niu, just call me Xiao Mao. Mao means flourishing."

"Uncle Mao." Uncle Niu cupped his hands and said, "This is the first time we meet. I wonder what Uncle Mao can do for you."

"I dare not. Master Niu is too polite. I have a way here. I have thousands of chickens and ducks. I want to sell them to Master Niu. I wonder if Master Niu can afford them."

According to the market price, a chicken is about 1.5 yuan. A hen is more expensive, costing 2 yuan. A duck is cheaper, costing 1.5 yuan regardless of male or female. Thousands of ducks cost several thousand yuan. Only the black market can afford it, and they don't even ask about the source.

Niu Ye looked at Jiang Feng and said, "I can eat it, but I don't have that much cash. Can I use yellow croaker?"

"Sure, we can take cash or yellow croaker. What's the price of yellow croaker?"

"Small fish are 125 yuan, large fish are 625 yuan. Don't worry, they are all pure. We are also afraid of ruining the business. If you need to ship a large amount in the future, just come to me."

"Okay." Jiang Feng didn't know the detailed market conditions. It was forbidden to trade with these things now. It would be a big deal if he was investigated. He wouldn't lose money anyway. They would be good things to make jewelry in the future. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Niu.

Uncle Niu took it and took a look, then took a breath. It said: 845 roosters, 2590 hens, and 3000 ducks.

This is the commune, but Niu Ye, who knows the rules, did not ask. He took a pen and paper to calculate, and the total was 9660.5 yuan. Niu Ye handed the paper to Jiang Feng and said, "I can't charge according to the market price. Roosters and ducks are 1.3 yuan each, and hens are 1.8 yuan each."

Jiang Feng calculated and found it was correct, so he said, "That's right, give me 9660 yuan in total, forget about the change, how do you want to trade?"

Niu Ye got up and went into the inner room. When he came out, he was holding a box. Niu Ye took out a stack of cash from it, counted it, and said to Jiang Feng, "I can only give you about 3035 in cash. I will use yellow croaker to make up the rest. A total of ten large yellow croakers, three small yellow croakers, plus yuan in cash. Can you calculate it and see if it is correct?"

Jiang Feng calculated in his mind, nodded, and said, "My goods are outside. I'll have to trouble Master Niu to prepare a car to go and get them."
