Chapter 37 Yi Zhonghai's Careful Thoughts

"If you want to exchange for Fuqiang noodles, let's follow the rules of the pigeon market. Fifteen catties of stick noodles are exchanged for one catty of Fuqiang noodles. All you need is food stamps, no money."

In the "Draft Criminal Law Outline" promulgated on July 1950, 7, for the first time, the regulation on "speculation and profiteering" appeared, and it was classified as a crime of disrupting the market.

A while ago, Qian Dafu, a car handlebar of the Red Star Commune, helped people sell mountain goods to the city, but refused to sell them to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and sold them on the street at a high price.

Although Li Aiguo's rich and strong fans are rewarded by the locomotive depot, even if they are sold to residents, since there is no 'buy low and sell high', it does not belong to 'speculation'.

However, Li Aiguo also had to be careful.

"Fifteen catties of stick noodles are only exchanged for one catty of Fuqiang powder, why don't you grab it!" Mrs. Jia Zhang jumped up when she heard this.

Li Aiguo gave Jia Zhang a cold look: "Old lady Jia, if you don't change, I didn't ask you."

"You're so small."

Mrs. Jia and Zhang were about to open their mouths to scold, but Xu Damao said in a strange way: "Some people have no money, but still want to eat rich and strong fans. Why? Li Aiguo is not your father."

Xu Damao was overjoyed.

The price he pays for Fuqiang noodles is ten catties of stick noodles.

Now Li Aiguo's price for the residents is [-] catties of stick noodles.

In this way, it means that in a short period of time, he earned five catties of stick noodles for every catty.

Make big money!

Throwing in plums and rewarding them with peaches, Xu Damao saw that the residents seemed to have some objections, so he said loudly:

"The price is not expensive at all!"

"I can tell you that there are no Fuqiang fans in the pigeon market now. If you miss it, you will never be able to buy it again."

He gave Li Aiguo a look, pretending: "Aiguo, how many rich and powerful fans are left?"

"It's less than ten catties."

"I, Xu Damao, have wrapped everything up!" Xu Damao was full of pride.

"Xu Damao, you bastard, even if your family is rich, you can't do this. My family wants half a catty!"

"I, I, I, I want two taels."

"One catty! My family wants one catty!"

Only then did the onlookers realize it, so they hurried home to get the stick noodles, and they might not be able to buy them any later.

On weekdays, big guys are reluctant to eat Fuqiang fans, but they are indispensable.

When you have a distinguished guest, steam a few white flour steamed buns, it will save face.

Also, no one can eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

Dumplings made with Fuqiang powder are firm and chewy.

Jia Zhang didn't change to Fuqiang fans because the price was too expensive.

She also wanted to wait for Shazhu to come out of the police station, and let Qin Huairu find Shazhu to buy rich and strong fans, and it would definitely not cost money.

The number of Fuqiang fans exchanged by each store is not large, but the number of people who exchanged them is quite large, and the ten catties of Fuqiang fans were quickly replaced.

The faces of the residents who have switched to Fuqiang fans are quite radiant. With this thing, even if a distinguished guest comes to the door, there is no need to be afraid.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Aiguo who was having a lively chat with the residents, and his heart ached with anger.

Today, he originally planned to use the name of the deaf old lady to let Li Aiguo contribute his rich and strong fans.

Unexpectedly, Li Aiguo didn't give him a chance to express himself. He was full of good words, but he didn't come up with a single one.

In the end, Li Aiguo went so far as to overwhelm the guests and start exchanging with the residents directly.

His idea of ​​mobilizing the masses and kidnapping Li Aiguo morally failed completely.

Hey, it's too bad, my heart hurts.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was covering his heart and his face was ugly, Jia Dongxu stepped forward to hold his arm: "Master, are you sick?"

Looking at Jia Dongxu who was full of concern, Yi Zhonghai felt warm in his heart: "It's okay, maybe I've caught a little cold, help master go back."

Jia Dongxu looked at the short sleeves on his body, his face was full of suspicion, how cold it is in this summer.

However, he was a filial child, so he didn't ask any more questions, and walked to the backyard with Yi Zhonghai by his arm.

When passing by the door of the deaf old lady, the dilapidated house opened with a 'squeak'.

The deaf old lady came out with a cane, with a gloomy face: "Is it not done?"

"That kid Li Aiguo is too cunning, when did he steal my trick of mobilizing the masses?" Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly.

"I told you earlier that he had a serious illness this time, and he has opened up his mind. Compared with before, he seems to be a different person. If you don't listen, you will suffer a lot."

"I'm not thinking about your poor health. It's not a problem to eat Erhe noodles all day long. That's it."

With the cane on the ground, the deaf old lady narrowed her eyes: "Don't think I don't know about your little thoughts."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai drooping his head and not making a sound, the deaf old lady emphasized her tone: "I found a few old friends, and Sha Zhu will come out the day after tomorrow. Before that, don't provoke that kid surnamed Li."

"Yes Yes Yes"

It wasn't until the door was closed again that Yi Zhonghai dared to stand up straight and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"The old lady's prestige is still the same as before."

"Master, I'm the one who got you in trouble this time." Jia Dongxu felt ashamed.

Yi Zhonghai looked at him with satisfaction: "It's good that you know, the master has no son, and has long treated you as his own child. However, your mother has become more and more shameless recently, you have to watch her."

Who can stand Jia Zhang's family?

Jia Dongxu thought he couldn't, but he nodded in agreement.

You have to listen to what the master says.

When Yi Zhonghai came home, the aunt helped him pour an enamel mug of hot tea, squeezed some Gao Sui and threw it into it.

After Yi Zhonghai took the tea, the first mother said cautiously: "Old Yi, I think we should leave the affairs of the Jia family alone in the future."

"What's the matter? Didn't the two of us discuss that Jia Dongxu will take care of us in the future?" Yi Zhonghai took a sip of tea, raised his head, and frowned.

The first mother was a little afraid of Yi Zhonghai, she lowered her head and whispered: "Old Yi, Dongxu is a good boy, with good character, polite and sensible. Jia Zhang has such a son, which makes me envious, but..."

The aunt looked up at the door and saw that it was closed tightly, so she continued, "What if Mrs. Jia Zhang does not die? Although the master is half father and apprentice is half son, it is still only half."

"Hahahaha" Yi Zhonghai put down the enamel jar.

"You don't have to worry about that. Mrs. Jia Zhang has been taking painkillers. Those things hurt her body. She will definitely not live for a few years."

"Besides, that stuff costs money. Mrs. Jia spends ten yuan a month on painkillers."

"Lao Jia used to be a sixth-level fitter, and he earned more than 50 yuan a month. This amount of money is nothing."

"But Jia Dongxu took over and is now a first-class worker. He only earns more than 20 yuan a month. The Jia family can't afford the medicine alone."

"If Jia Zhang doesn't die in three to five years, I'll keep Jia Dongxu's job grade and prevent Jia Dongxu from being promoted."

"When Mrs. Jia Zhang doesn't even have the money to buy medicine, she will naturally come to beg me."

"At that time, Jia Dongxu might have to change his name to Yi Dongxu."

Done.

Yi Zhonghai picked up the enamel jar and took a sip: "Hey, Yi Dongxu, don't say this name is much more fluent than Jia Dongxu."

The aunt saw that Yi Zhonghai was so determined, so she didn't say anything more.

After all, she can't have children, and a woman who can't have children has no right to speak at home.
