I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

"Cao Jiajia, how do you know our mother has food?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"Mom said that when you were not here, Sister Yushui was here, and their leader asked if Mom was short of food. There were 300 kilograms of white flour, and the rest were coarse grains!

A thousand pounds!

My mother didn’t want any. She said don’t worry about her, there’s no shortage of food at home, and she never buys food to bring home.” Cao Jiajia said.

"The supply and marketing cooperatives also know how to play tricks. They consume a batch of grain and share it among everyone. Everyone makes money together and shuts people up. But there is still a shortage of grain!" said Cao Dongfang.

"My dad bought more than 4600 kilograms of grain the day before yesterday, less than 5000 kilograms, and this time it was 1900 kilograms. My dad meant that all his savings were used up, and yuan is not much grain."

He Yushui said, "4600 kilograms of food cost less than 850 yuan."

"Let your father calculate how much flour is needed, and I'll find some for him. I have time now, so they don't have to run back and forth!" said Cao Dongfang.

"I'll tell my dad when he comes back in the evening!" said He Yushui.

"Brother, how about fried chicken tonight!" Cao Jiajia asked.

“Sunday, I don’t want to make fried chicken after get off work!” said Cao Dongfang.

"Okay, let's do it on Sunday. Brother, can't we buy that drink yet?" Cao Jiajia asked with an expectant look on her face.

"You can't buy it because there are too few smugglers. I'll buy you something good to eat on Sunday!" said Cao Dongfang.

"What's delicious?" Cao Jiajia asked hurriedly.

"Keep it secret!"

.......

For two consecutive days, he sold 3,800 kilograms of grain, 2,400 kilograms of flour, and 1,800 yuan to He Daqing.

One thousand four hundred kilograms of corn flour, two hundred and twenty-four yuan.

A total of two thousand and twenty-four dollars!

The food was kept at He Daqing's house.

He Daqing and He Yuzhu were carrying food, and Cao Dongfang opened the "virtual world", but the people in the compound didn't know about it.

He Daqing's family spent all their savings except for a few dozen dollars to buy 8,500 kilograms of grain, just waiting for the grain price to go up and make a fortune!

If the price drops to 2700 yuan per pound, the original savings of yuan can be used to make yuan, which is not a small amount. He Daqing and Sha Zhu can each marry a wife.

It’s no problem to buy another small courtyard house!

He Daqing and Sha Zhu are making money, and the people from the Jia family next door must be envious. Yi Zhonghai's hope of getting Qin Huairu a job has greatly increased.

Jia Zhang was kicked by Liu Haizhong and now she doesn't go to clean the house. She pretends to be sick at home and feels pain all over her body. Jia Dongxu has such a mother and there is nothing he can do!

Jia Zhang would rather be scolded and beaten than repent. She remains the same as before. Doesn't she learn her lesson?

Not really. Cao Dongfang beat her twice, but Jia Zhang never did anything weird again!

But why? He refuses to repent for other things, especially laziness. I guess it's better for Jia Dongxu to be alive!

Jia Zhang has a backer!

Jia Dongxu will let her have food to eat!

Banggeng was beaten into the hospital by Liu Guangqi. One of Banggeng's right ribs was fractured. Liu Guangqi was also a disabled person and could only use his left hand, but that wasn't very strong.

Bang Geng didn't even have a broken bone, which was too good for Bang Geng and the Jia family. After more than a day in the hospital, Bang Geng went home to recuperate.

They can’t afford to stay in the hospital!

.......

"Dongfang, let's go to Xu Huizhen's tavern after dinner tomorrow night." Chen Xueru asked.

"Tomorrow night is fine. I'm free. I'll go with you at any time you want." Cao Dongfang said.

"Seven o'clock, the day is long, come back at half past nine.

"Chen Xueru said. "The price of food has risen again in the past two days. The price of white flour has dropped to 80 cents. Do you still use white flour to pay the wages of Niu Ye and Pian Ye?"

"We agreed to keep it open. White noodles are worthless to me. It has nothing to do with the price in Pigeon City. Just consider it a good thing, you two poor guys!" Cao Dongfang complained.

"The price is at least 80, 85, or even 90 cents per pound. The price is too high. I dare not even think about it. Few people can afford to eat fine grains!" said Chen Xueru.

"I got some coarse grains from my classmate a few days ago, 50 cents per pound. I'll give you these pounds and give them away slowly!" said Cao Dongfang.

"You have coarse grains. Leave these with me and you can give some to others. It's not good to have too many acquaintances. All the people you know are pale and thin. It's depressing to see them!" Chen Xueru said.

"I'll get 2,000 kilograms and slowly give them to other people. They are all my classmates in the supply and marketing cooperative.

I have time now. I will get it in a few days. The people in the supply and marketing cooperative are making money from the part of grain consumed! "Cao Dongfang said speechlessly.

"Aren't they afraid of being caught for doing this?" Chen Xueru was quite surprised!

“Food is consumed, so they can report more as long as it doesn’t exceed the large area. There isn’t much, probably a few hundred kilograms per person on average.

My mother had one too, but she didn't want it. The supply and marketing cooperative leader asked, "These days, we have to make money together, and it's not a big deal if we don't eat alone!" Cao Dongfang said.

"This is a way of living by the mountain and the water. I really admire them!" said Chen Xueru.

“Life is not easy for everyone!”

"I don't believe you!"

......

Cao Dongfang and Chen Xue arrived at the tavern at seven in the evening.

When Cao Dongfang walked in, he saw that there were quite a lot of people and all eight tables were occupied.

They are all people from the neighborhood. After dinner, they come to the pub with friends to have a few drinks. They can afford it. The price of alcohol has dropped after the public-private partnership.

For example, Niulanshan Erguotou, the price of loose liquor was at least one yuan before the founding of the People's Republic of China, but now it costs one yuan and twenty cents in a bottle, and seventy cents in bulk. Xu Huizhen also brews her own liquor at sixty cents per pound.

Many people drink alcohol because it is cheap. Three ounces of wine cost less than 20 or 21 cents, so everyone can afford it.

"Xueru, Dongfang, come here." Pian Ye saw Chen Xueru and Cao Dongfang standing up and shouting!

"Xue Ru, Dongfang this way!" Uncle Niu turned around and saw the two of them, then stood up and said.

"Here we are!" Chen Xueru took Cao Dongfang to the table where Niu Ye and Pian Ye were sitting.

"Who is Chen Xueru with? Why did Niu Ye stand up to greet her? It's so embarrassing!"

"It's not easy. I've never seen anyone who made Niu Ye and Pian Ye stand up to greet him together."

"Cao Dongfang, the man who helped many people and said that 440 yuan a month was not enough to spend!"

"Fuck! 440 yuan is not enough. I only make 30 yuan a month. There is no comparison!"

"What a prodigal son!"

"You are the prodigal son. You are so many times worse than the prodigal son. You are even worse than the prodigal son. You are just envious and jealous!"

"These days, how many people can earn 440 yuan a month? Calling someone a spendthrift is a joke. It's good enough to earn 44 yuan!"

“You should save money if you have it!”

"They are helping others. You will never be able to reach their level! You are too far behind!"

"Cao Dongfang is old, but quite handsome!"

"Don't even think about it. Your mother, your wife and your daughter are either too big or too small."

"roll!"

After knowing that it was Cao Dongfang, the people in the tavern talked about it! There was envy and jealousy, and the mentality of the common people was revealed.

Cai Quanwu, Xu Huizhen and another woman were all near the counter. When they saw Chen Xueru come in, Xu Huizhen left the counter!

"Xueru, what would you like to drink? What side dishes would you like? There are only pickles and no meat dishes. We can't buy any." Xu Huizhen said.

"Dongfang, what would you like to eat? How much wine would you like to drink?" Chen Xueru asked.

"Just one plate of pickles and one pound of wine without water," said Cao Dongfang.

"One plate of pickles and one pound and three ounces of wine." Chen Xueru said to Xu Huizhen.

"Dongfang has a good alcohol tolerance. How much can he drink? Isn't a plate of pickles too much?" asked Uncle Niu.

“It’s my first time here, I don’t know which dish suits my taste, I’ll try them all!

As for alcohol, I’ve only drunk five bottles of Fenjiu, and it’s fine if I drink a pound. I’m just sitting around doing nothing anyway!” Cao Dongfang said.

Niu Ye: “.......”

Pian Ye: “.......”

Xu Huizhen: “.......”

I understand the wine barrel thing, there's no problem with ordering more wine, but the pickles... are just for tasting, and it seems... it seems really good, no one has ever ordered food like this before!

I saw it today and learned a lot more! I don’t understand the thoughts of rich people!

Six side dishes and two pots of wine, one large and one small!

"Come on, Uncle Niu, Uncle Pian, and Brother Dongfang, one is left." Chen Xueru said, raising her glass.

"cheers!"

"We use wine glasses, and Dongfang you drink from a wine jug, awesome!" Pian Ye gave a thumbs up.

"Dongfang, it's okay now. Come take a walk with Xueru." asked Uncle Niu.

"There's less to do in the past two months. I'll be busier after August, but they're all small things!" said Cao Dongfang.

"It's okay to sit here when you have free time. Are you used to drinking wine and eating pickles?" said Uncle Niu.

"The loose liquor is fine like this. You can eat the pickles, cucumbers and peanuts. Sister Xueru will take care of the rest!" Cao Dongfang said.

"If I don't eat it, I won't be able to finish it if you order so much!" said Chen Xueru.

"Try the taste, understand!"

“I don’t understand! What a waste!”
