Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 134 Three Pieces of Cloth

Arriving near Pigeon City, after looking left and right to make sure there was no one there, Li Pingan put his bicycle into the warehouse, took out his gangster headgear from the warehouse, and walked into the small alley swaggeringly.

As usual, he paid an entrance fee of ten cents, and Li Pingan walked into the pigeon market smoothly. He wandered around inside but couldn't find anyone selling waste cloth.Li Pingan was unwilling to come here for nothing, so he came to the corner to ask the ticket dealers

"Brother, do you have a door for curtains here?"

The ticket dealer squatting in the corner looked up at Li Pingan, and said nothing nonsense.

"How much do you want?"

When Li Pingan heard it, it was a joke, but he didn't know how much cloth a curtain needs, so he thought about it and said
"Brother, there are two windows in the side room of the courtyard, you should estimate it."

The ticket dealer nodded after listening, then got up and waved to Li Pingan, motioning to follow him.After walking not far, I came to a small courtyard, which was a single entry courtyard, with a lot of goods in it, and several people were guarding it.

When the people in the yard saw the two of them coming in, they didn't pay attention to them. They just looked up and continued to work on their own affairs.The ticket dealer pointed to a pile of cloth on the ground and said to Li Pingan

"Brother, all the cloth you want is here, 9 meter and 5 hairs, if you get two windows, [-] meters will be enough."

Li Pingan turned on the flashlight and went forward to check the quality of the cloth. After a brief inspection, it was all dyed and waste cloth, and the quality was quite good. The quality of the factories these days is basically no problem.

"OK, give me five meters"

As soon as the ticket dealer waved his hand, a young guy came up to get cloth for Li Pingan nimbly. After the ticket dealer took the money from Li Pingan, he began to ask Li Pingan if he wanted a slightly flawed cloth.

"What kind of micro-flaw method?"

"Go, I'll show you the cloth"

Regarding Li Pingan's question, the ticket dealer did not explain, but just brought Li Pingan into the main room.After entering, the ticket dealer pointed to the cloth on the kang and motioned for Li Pingan to check it by himself.

Li Pingan casually opened a piece of cloth, and Li Pingan began to inspect it carefully. When the cloth was turned halfway, Li Pingan discovered that the color of the cloth was not correct, the color was not so deep, and basically had no effect. You can make clothes.

Put the cloth down, Li Pingan looked at the ticket dealer and said

"What's the price of this piece of cloth?"

"You have also seen this cloth, basically it can be regarded as a good cloth on the supply and marketing cooperative, this cloth is [-] cents a foot"

"4 cents a foot, I want this piece of cloth"

The ticket dealer thought for a while, then said
"How about this, brother, a piece of cloth is ten feet long, you can give 14 directly"

One horse is equal to ten feet, and one foot is equal to ten feet.If the ticket dealer wants 14 yuan, it is equivalent to [-] cents per foot of cloth. This price is reasonable. Although the cloth is flawed, it does not affect the use. If you buy it back to make clothes, you can just cut off the corners. The price is still much more cost-effective than buying cloth alone.

Li Pingan looked at the cloth on the kang, thinking that winter is coming soon, and buying more cloth will definitely be useful, so he opened his mouth to the ticket dealer again

"Well bro, two cloth 27, if you agree, I'll take the cloth now"

The ticket dealer shook his head and said to Li Pingan

"Brother, two pieces of cloth 28 are indispensable, you also know that our business is a job that loses your head"

What they said is correct, ticket dealers are indeed a high-risk industry, especially if they are huge in number, as long as they are caught, they will end up eating peanuts. Although 28 yuan is not much, it is still a lot for Li Pingan now. After buying a bicycle for Ding Qiunan last time, all the money in his pocket was added up, and there was only [-] yuan left in his pocket. You must keep some in your hand. Money just in case.

Li Pingan thought for a while, then said to the ticket dealer

"Brother, I will exchange fifty catties of pork for three bolts of cloth, and I want floral cloth for one of them, what do you think?"

After the ticket dealer heard Li Pingan's words, his eyes were straightened, and he agreed to Li Pingan's request without hesitation.Although it is said that cloth is difficult to obtain, pork is even more difficult. If you exchange three bolts of cloth for fifty catties of pork, you can earn it yourself.

After seeing the ticket dealer agreed, Li Pingan didn't write any ink, and said directly to the ticket dealer

"In this way, we will trade in the alley outside Pigeon City in half an hour,"

After the two discussed how to contact each other, Li Pingan took his waste cloth and walked out of Pigeon Market.Fifty catties of meat was carefully considered by Li Pingan. There is also a small amount of pork in the pigeon market. Fifty catties of meat sounds like a lot, but it is actually nothing to the pigeon market. Sometimes the nearby farmers hunt wild boars. There are also such things as carrying half a pig to Pigeon Market to sell meat.

As long as the grain is not resold, it doesn't matter that fifty catties of meat appear in the pigeon market, and it will not attract the attention of the police or undercover agents in the market.

The reason why the police are so sure about the pigeon market is because there are public eyeliners in the pigeon market. The public security knows exactly what is on the market. If you make a small fuss, you will be fine. Then a pot is served for you.

Walking out of Pigeon City, after making sure that no one was following him, he dodged into the warehouse.Come to the fresh area, because time in the warehouse is static, and all materials will not be damaged.I found a large piece of fatter pork, weighed out [-] catties with a scale, packed it in a sack, and waited quietly for the time to come.

Seeing that the time on the watch was almost up, Li Pingan rode a bicycle, carrying a sack of pork, and wandered into the alley.

According to the signal from the connection just now, Li Pingan flashed the flashlight three times. After seeing the lights on the opposite side flashing twice, Li Pingan pushed the car and walked over.

There were two ticket dealers here. Li Pingan, who was worried that there would be problems with this fair, was relieved when he saw that there were only two people on the opposite side.The public security is not good these days, it is very common to kill people and steal goods in the pigeon market. Li Pingan also wanted to buy more than 2 catties of pork to exchange some tickets with the ticket dealers, but after thinking about it carefully, only three pigs of fifty catties of pork The ticket dealers may not necessarily snatch it for tens of dollars, but a hundred catties of pork can cost hundreds of dollars. Who knows if the ticket dealers will take the risk?
The transaction here went smoothly. After the two parties checked the goods with each other, they didn't communicate much, and each left with their own goods.Before leaving, the ticket dealer said to Li Pingan

"Brother, if you still have pork to exchange for something in the future, you can come to the small courtyard just now to find me"

Li Pingan nodded, and then quickly left the alley with three pieces of cloth on his shoulders.This is the first shipment in Pigeon Market, and also the last shipment. I will never do this kind of thing in the future. This is the only time I have dealt with this ticket dealer. If it wasn’t for me, I don’t have much money now. , who is willing to take this risk in exchange for something, isn't it good to just buy it with money?

On the way back to the courtyard, Li Pingan imitated the spies in spy war movies and made several anti-stalking actions.After making sure that no one was following him, Li Pingan put the three pieces of cloth in the warehouse and went straight to the courtyard.

After arriving at the door, Li Pingan knocked on the door for a long time before the third master opened the door from the inside.The third master said to Li Pingan while breathing

"Ping An, why are you back at this point?"

Li Pingan didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out a dime from his pocket, stuffed it into the hands of the third master, and said something in a low voice
"Third Master, I'm really sorry for disturbing your sleep, please go back to sleep."

The third master just touched it with his fingers, and immediately knew that Li Pingan had stuffed a dime into his hand. He immediately thanked Li Pingan with a smile on his face, and went back to the room happily to continue sleeping.

After seeing the third master enter the house, Li Pingan didn't bother to push his bicycle into the middle courtyard in the middle of the night, so he put the bicycle into the warehouse, closed the gate of the courtyard, and walked back to his room in the dark.

After Li Pingan put the three pieces of cloth on the table, he didn't wash up. He was really sleepy now. On the way back, he couldn't keep his eyes open. He quickly lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

The next day, the aunt came to wake Li Pingan up. She slept too late last night. Li Pingan couldn't wake up in the morning. She told the aunt in a daze about not going to work today, and then fell asleep again.

When I woke up, I looked at my watch and it was past nine o'clock.Li Pingan quickly put on his clothes and got up, and today he has to go to the factory with Ding Qiunan to open a marriage introduction letter and go to the street to get the certificate.

After getting up, I quickly washed my face and brushed my teeth, then pushed my bicycle and headed for the factory.Seeing Li Pingan pushing the car to go out, the first mother hurriedly stopped Li Pingan and asked him to finish his breakfast before leaving.

"No, I made an agreement with Qiu Nan yesterday. At noon today, we have to go to the street to apply for a marriage certificate. The letter of introduction has not yet been issued. I have to go to the factory to get the letter of introduction issued."

Li Pingan said as he walked, and when the words fell, he was already carrying his bicycle to the front yard.I can hear the big mother yelling from behind

"After discussing the certificate with Qiu Nan, remember to take Qiu Nan home at night."

Li Pingan agreed, and after leaving the courtyard, he rode his bicycle quickly towards the rolling mill.When Li Pingan came to the empty office of the third department out of breath, Dong Yanqin and Chen Youfu were not in the office.

After taking a sip of water, he went out to inquire and learned that Chen Youfu had gone to a meeting and was not in the factory.Li Pingan thought for a while, and came to the office of the Publicity Section, planning to ask the eldest sister of the Publicity Section who to ask for the marriage introduction letter.

Before I got to the Publicity Section, I heard a burst of laughter from inside, among which Dong Yanqin was the loudest, who was gossiping about.
