Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chapter 15 The Matchmaker Wang

The next day before dawn, Li Weidong got up early again.

After a simple wash, we headed straight to the pigeon market.

This time he didn't set up a stall first, but wandered around the pigeon market.

After wandering around in a circle, Li Weidong confirmed that the things in the pigeon market are not much cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperatives and the vegetable market, and some are even more expensive. The only advantage is that there are no tickets.

——Think about it, and you will understand.

There is a shortage of supplies these days. Even if you have money and tickets, it is useless if there is no goods in the supply and marketing cooperative.

This is also the confidence of the salesperson's arrogance.

I just won't sell it to you, what can you do?
Afterwards, Li Weidong bought the first household appliance, a flashlight, and then bought five kilograms of millet and three kilograms of peanuts.

Finally stopped by a stall selling pork.

There is an old man who sells pork.

He was wearing an old felt hat with a gray cloth sliver wrapped around his waist. The cotton jacket on his body was covered with patches. With the help of the weak light, he could clearly see the gray cotton wool inside. Li Weidong knew that this was the standard dress for members of the Beijing suburbs. .

According to regulations, the pigs raised by the members are not allowed to be slaughtered without permission, but can only be sold to food stations.

The price is naturally much lower than the market price.

In the market, a pound of fat costs 0.78 yuan, and the purchase price of the food station is less than 0.3 yuan.

Therefore, some communes will slaughter the fat pigs privately and sell them in the pigeon market secretly.

——Every pig is registered, and there will be regular inspections on it. Once someone is found to be slaughtering fat pigs privately, they will definitely report criticism.

However, this is not difficult for the commune members who have the wisdom to survive.

There are still a lot of wild wolves these days, and children are often taken away from their beds.

It is also a very normal thing for a big fat pig to be carried away by a wolf in the woods.

As for evidence, do pig bones count?

The old man squatted on the ground, smoking a dry tobacco bag, the white smoke covering his dark face.

Well, it's no wonder that the old man doesn't wear a mask like other people in the pigeon market. It turns out that there are biological weapons.

Li Weidong squatted in front of the stall for a while and found a piece of red and white pork that was more than ten centimeters wide.

This kind of fat is perfect for gift bars.

I found a slightly thinner piece and handed it to the old man.

The old man didn't say a word. He put the cigarette bag and pot on the ground, and used an old scale to weigh both pieces of meat.

Then make a gesture.

The gift bar is five jin and two taels, and the small pieces of meat are one jin and three taels.

Two pieces of meat Li Weidong spent less than 5 yuan in total.

After paying the money, Li Weidong turned around and walked to the corner of the alley after the old man clicked one by one in front of the dim lantern, and put the flashlight and meat he just bought into the space warehouse.

——After Qin Huairu came to borrow eggs, Li Weidong felt that he should be more cautious.

It is really eye-catching to carry so much meat back to the courtyard.

At this time, the sky was already dawning, and Li Weidong saw the pale belly in the east, and knew that the pigeon market was coming to an end.

Busy to set up their own stalls.

Like yesterday, the ore machine quickly attracted a group of buyers who were very interested in the battery-free radio.

A AA battery costs 2 cents and 2 industrial coupon, which doesn't look like much. The point is that this thing is a consumable item.

Even if people have a radio, they are reluctant to turn it on often.

The ore machine does not need batteries, which is a good thing!

Soon someone asked for the price, and Li Weidong was about to give a slap.

A surprised voice mixed with anger came from the crowd: "Didn't you say there was only one ore machine yesterday?"

Looking up, shouting, it was the same middle-aged man from yesterday.

At this time, the middle-aged man is like an innocent and weak woman whose feelings have been cheated by a scumbag, both wronged and angry, and vaguely helpless.

Li Weidong glanced at him sideways, and extended a firm slap.

Then, he stretched out another finger.

——There is only one, it is 50 yuan, love it or not!
The middle-aged man shouted: "Don't believe him, he said yesterday that there is only one."

He also wanted to buy an ore machine, but felt that 50 yuan was too much.

——Well, as long as the big guys don’t buy it, this guy will definitely drop the price.

He had a good idea, but underestimated the attractiveness of the ore machine.

Moreover, no one can confirm whether this is the last one.

If you miss it, you will regret it.

An old man with gray hair and the appearance of a cadre rushed into the crowd.

He was so anxious that he almost knocked down the middle-aged man and squeezed him to the booth.

He took out 50 yuan and handed it over: "This thing doesn't need batteries, old man, even if I listen to the radio all day long, I don't need to be nagged by the old woman.

Bought!Bought!Bought! "

Under the eyes of the middle-aged man who was about to cry, the ore machine was sold quickly.

When Li Weidong got the money, he didn't bother to pay attention to the middle-aged man, and turned around and walked out of the pigeon market.

Just a few steps away, the middle-aged man caught up and smiled shyly: "Comrade, do you still have an ore machine?"

Li Weidong glared at him.

- Don't you want to buy it?
The middle-aged man rubbed his hands in embarrassment and swallowed: "I don't have enough money on me today, will you come tomorrow?"

Li Weidong ignored him, accelerated his speed, and disappeared in the early morning mist in three or five steps.

——It seems that there will be another pigeon market tomorrow.

Li Weidong did not directly return to the courtyard, but turned around and came to a large courtyard next to the courtyard.

Knocked on the door of the matchmaker Wang.

After the liberation, the media industry was considered to be in decline.

The original matchmakers have also been transformed.

The matchmakers became female workers and lived on their own.

However, traditional customs have great inertia.

The common people feel that without a matchmaker, a marriage will not be complete.

Therefore, the female worker secretly became a matchmaker again.

Matchmaker Wang is a famous matchmaker in the nearby neighborhood, known as the No. [-] in Dazayuan.

A three-inch tongue can turn the dead into the living.

Most of the young men and women in the nearby neighborhood are matched by her.

Like Lou Xiaoe and Xu Damao.Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, Yan Xiecheng and Yu Li.
So when she heard that Li Weidong was going to propose marriage to Yu Li, Matchmaker Wang thought she had heard wrong, and rubbed her ears with a surprised expression.

"Didn't Yu Li promise to be untied by Yan? Two months ago, I held the thread with my own hands. Don't you remember wrongly? It should be her younger sister Yu Haitang, right?"

A thin girl appeared in Yu Haitang Li Weidong's mind.

Carrying a pair of A with her, she is very worried about the nutritional problems of her future children.

Children's nutritional problems can be solved with milk powder.

The key is that Yu Haitang is too upright, thinking too positive, jumping up and down when the wind comes.

Definitely not a good match.

"Yes, it's Yu Li."

Li Weidong was a little embarrassed to see the matchmaker Wang, so he had to explain the matter.

After listening to Li Weidong's words, the matchmaker Wang's eyes widened little by little, and her mouth could not close: "This Yan Bugui actually did such a scandalous thing, fortunately Weidong, you are sensible, otherwise, if it spreads out, my reputation will be great. was destroyed."

Matchmakers and matchmakers are also responsible for both men and women.

Once a serious mistake is made, the reputation will also be affected.

Without a good reputation, the number of businesses will inevitably suffer.

There are several colleagues in the next block, eyeing the business in the courtyard block, and often come here with a small stool to chat with the old men and women.

In Wang matchmaker's view, Li Weidong helped her avoid a serious work accident.

"Then trouble you, here is a pound and a half of pork."

Li Weidong took out the pork wrapped in the newspaper from the canvas bag and handed it to the matchmaker Wang.

The folds on Wang Matchmaker's Le's face were all stretched out, and she muttered, "It's too much, how can I be embarrassed."

There are more than 50 people, but the movements of their hands are not slow, they quickly took the newspaper and put it in the cabinet.

"Don't worry, I will go to Lao Yu's house in the afternoon to propose a marriage, and I promise that you will be able to marry Yu Li and go home next month."

The matchmaker gift for the mediator is usually two catties of stick noodles, and occasionally some people give pork, which is only about half a catty.

Li Weidong's shot is just a pound and a half, which is too arrogant.

Ding, congratulations to Comrade Li Weidong for becoming a super platinum user.
