I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

As soon as Jia Dongxu got home from get off work, he suppressed Bang Geng who was making a fuss, and told Jia Zhang that the ten yuan a month was gone and the price of food was getting higher and higher.

I can’t afford it anymore. I have a big family to feed. I don’t need you to save money while I’m alive. Jia Dongxu didn’t want to say anything more to Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhang is beyond redemption!

Now there are five people in the family, and they only have his salary and Qin Huairu's income of seven or eight yuan a month. Jia Zhangshi's job that paid sixteen yuan a month quit and the job was taken back by the street!

Fifty yuan is enough for other families, but not necessarily for the Jia family. Other families are short of food, so buying ten to twenty kilograms of expensive grain every month is enough. There is a food ration!

The Jia family is in a very bad situation. Jia Zhang doesn't go to work and does nothing. She eats at least one pound of grain a day. Banggeng is only six years old, and he eats at least six ounces a day, which is eighteen pounds a month.

Qin Huairu was saving food, but she still needed twenty-three or twenty-four kilograms a month. It was better when she was little, just drinking rice soup and soaking steamed corn bread!

Seventy kilograms of food is the least Jia Dongxu wants to buy. Food is too difficult to buy now. It’s good enough to buy three kilograms at a time, and that’s at a high price!

Jia Zhang took another 10 yuan every month. The money was enough, but it was almost not enough because -

The Jia family has a shortage of all kinds of rations!

Nothing is enough!

All of them require buying expensive supplies!

It's not just food that's rising in price, other supplies are also rising in price!

The forty yuan he and Qin Huairu had was almost not enough, and they didn't have much savings at home.

Jia Dongxu is very sad!

It was basically all her mother's fault. The whole compound was filled with enemies. Jia and Zhang had scolded them all, but the result was -

No one will care even if the Jia family starves to death!

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere. He couldn't just ignore his own mother, so he had to endure it!

As for——

Great! It's useless!

Seeing Jia Dongxu's extremely gloomy eyes, Jia Zhang didn't dare to say anything more.

The people in the backyard can only smell the fragrance helplessly!

It has nothing to do with them!

.......

Liang Ladi’s house!

“Ladi, Cao Dongfang’s meat is good, 700 kilograms for the compound, kilograms for the street, kilograms of meat, at least yuan in Pigeon Market!

Give it away!

atmosphere!"

Zhao Jie said.

“I’m about to give birth, and now I’m worried about not having enough milk, so I’m eating less.

There are female workers in the factory who have no milk after giving birth, what should we do? This meat can be used to replenish our milk, I still... "Liang Ladi said.

"This is a big deal. Milk powder is not easy to buy. If you want milk powder, you still have to go to Cao Dongfang. I will go there in the evening. I can't delay this matter." Zhao Jie nodded and said.

"Will Cao Dongfang sell it? It seems that he never sells his things. A barrel of milk powder costs thirty or forty-one yuan in the hospital. It's so expensive!" Liang Ladi said.

"We have to buy it no matter how expensive it is. We can't do without breast milk and milk powder. I will take care of it. The milk powder coupons are useless because milk powder is specially supplied." Zhao Jie said.

"Cao Dongfang gave meat today but didn't give it to the Su family in the front yard. This family is really unacceptable.

The two teachers are so noble, and their salaries are not as much as ours! "Liang Ladi looked down on the Su family.

"Everyone has his or her own way of living. Just ignore the Su family. If they don't want to interact with us, we don't have to pay attention to them. This family is nonsense!" Zhao Jie said.

"Jia Dongxu on the other side is cleaning up the gang again. This family is trying to kill themselves every day. It's come to this, why don't they just stop?" Liang Ladi said.

"Don't worry about their family. Liu Haizhong in the backyard is beating the kids again! Really, the more he beats the kids, the less likely they will be to be in this family!" Zhao Jie said.

"Let's eat first! We'll refine the oil later!"

.......

"Dongfang, I want to ask you a favor. Ladi is about to give birth and I'm afraid I won't have enough milk. I want to buy a bucket of milk powder from you as a backup." Zhao Jie said after sitting down at Cao Dongfang's house in the evening.

"A bucket of milk powder is a small matter, you don't have to buy it. I'll give you one, just consider it my gift. If you really don't have milk, you'll need more milk powder!"

Milk powder is not cheap now, thirty or forty yuan for a barrel. I know where to get it, and I know the person, so I can buy it from him! "Cao Dongfang said.

"Thank you so much, Dongfang!" Zhao Jie understood what Cao Dongfang meant.

This bucket of milk powder is free, and I don't want to 'speculate', but if you need it, I can introduce someone to you, and you can buy and sell it, and it has nothing to do with me!

"Jia Jia, go get a bucket of unused milk powder and give it to Brother Zhao!" Cao Dongfang said.

"OK!"

"Thank you Dongfang, I'll go back first. I need to talk to you about something." Zhao Jie said politely.

"It's a small matter. You can come to me if you need anything. You can buy a lot of supplies at the market price. Don't lose out. Just store more food!" Cao Dongfang said lightly.

Zhao Jie was stunned, nodded, and left Cao's house without saying anything!

.......

"Old Zhao, I've bought the milk powder. Cao Dongfang is okay!" Liang Ladi said when she saw the milk powder in Zhao Jie's hand.

"I didn't buy it, and I didn't spend any money on it. Cao Dongfang said it was a gift for the birth of a child!" said Zhao Jie.

"It seems that Cao Dongfang still doesn't plan to sell the supplies!" Liang Ladi said.

"If Cao Dongfang doesn't sell, he will introduce others. He not only has milk powder, but also other supplies. The key point is that Cao Dongfang finally asked me to store more food. Why?" Zhao Jie said.

"If we store food, we won't have enough food. Our family is short of five or six kilograms a month, which is not much. Cao Dongfang also wants us to store food, which means we will limit purchases and cut off food supply. Is that possible?" Liang Ladi said.

Snapped!

"I understand what Cao Dongfang meant. Food prices will continue to rise, and food is becoming less and less. You just gave birth to a child, so you need to eat something good. We also have a food shortage at home.

We are not short of money, so we can buy some and put them down, just like Uncle He's family, just in case! If there are any left, we can sell them at a high price, this is Uncle He's idea! "Zhao Jie said.

"Well, we can save some. If we can't use it all, we can sell it. Uncle He is very smart." Liang Ladi said.

"It's not necessarily that Uncle He is smart. He Yushui has been living in Cao Dongfang's house. Her news...

Moreover, Yi Zhonghai started to store grain at the end of 58, so the price is cheap and there is enough for his family to eat! "Zhao Jie said.

"Then buy some, 300 kilograms should be enough." Liang Ladi said.

"300 kilograms is enough for four to five years of food. Buy 100 kilograms of white flour for you to eat, and Damao and Ermao can also eat some. We have money and don't need to waste it!" said Zhao Jie.

"Yes, 100 kilograms of white flour only costs 90 yuan. We can afford it. It is more cost-effective than buying milk powder. A bucket of milk powder in Pigeon City is almost 40 yuan." Liang Ladi said.

"I'll go and tell Cao Dongfang that 100 kilograms of white flour and kilograms of coarse grains will be enough for four years. Three years will be enough for Damao and the others to grow up!" said Zhao Jie.

"Yes, I don't believe the food shortage will continue. If there is no food shortage, prices will come down. 300 kilograms of food is enough." Liang Ladi said.

“I’ll go and tell you!”

......

Zhao Jie didn't have much food, so he told Ma Hua about it. The next night, Zhao Jie and Ma Hua sent 300 kilograms of white flour and 100 kilograms of coarse grains back to the courtyard.

The two men went back again and brought back another 100 kilograms of flour and 100 kilograms of coarse grains. Zhao Jie bought an extra 100 kilograms of flour, at a price of 80 cents per kilogram, and coarse grains at 0.20 cents per kilogram.

When Zhao Jie saw that it was cheap, he bought an extra 100 kilograms of flour and would worry about the milk powder after the baby was born.

Cao Dongfang sold flour to Ma Hua at 0.20 cents per pound because he was getting married, so he could earn more. He also sold milk powder and other supplies, all at the normal national price.

"You should make some money in the next one or two years. You must keep it steady and don't get into trouble. He made 2200 yuan once by selling milk powder during the anti-Japanese war. Learn from him. Don't let too many people know about this!" Cao Dongfang said to Ma Hua.

"I see, you do have the goods, and they're cheap! I'll go find someone steady to make money!" Ma Hua said.

“Don’t take too much, don’t draw attention!”

"clear!"

.......

Ma Hua and Ma Kangri are both making money. Cao Dongfang thinks that Ma Kangri is a little arrogant and not good to the company. He is really not as good as people like Zhao Jie and He Daqing.

They don't know themselves, so they can't be implicated when something happens.

Ma Kangri’s milk powder is saving lives, which is also a benefit!

Cao Dongfang and Ma Hua no longer thought about this matter.

"Today, people in the store went to buy food, but the purchase was limited again, and each person could only buy two kilograms a day. We have to go again tomorrow. Food coupons will be issued on the 24th, but we have coupons but no food!

The problem you mentioned about not being able to buy food even with coupons has come up." Chen Xueru said.

"There is no other way. The whole country is short of food. This matter is difficult to handle. We have food, so let it go. I will go abroad in five days and come back within 15 days!" said Cao Dongfang.

"15 days is not a long time, and I don't lack anything." Chen Xueru said.

“As long as there is no shortage of supplies!

Making fried chicken tomorrow!

And there’s cake!
