Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 486 Black Market!

As a member of Qinjia Village, Qin Huairu is naturally willing to do her best to help the villagers, but she will never harm Wu Aiguo just to help the villagers.

When Qin Huairu heard the situation introduced by Qin Daguo, she did not mince words with the other party and directly asked Qin Daguo: "Third uncle! If I remember correctly, the rations distributed in our village this year are only ten kilograms less than last year. In previous years, everyone relied on these rations to last until the next year's food distribution. Even if there is ten kilograms less rations this year, the village won't run out of food so quickly, right?"

"In addition, the food in the city is also very tight now. Even if I have the shame to ask Director Wu, let's not say whether Director Wu will give me this face. Even if Director Wu is willing to give me this face, what do you think of Director Wu? How many kilograms of grain can the chief help me get?"

"There are still more than five months left before the next distribution of rations. With the food that Director Wu has obtained, he may not be able to last even one month, let alone five months. The remaining four months, three Uncle, what do you think we should do?"

Qin Daguo thought about going to the city to get some food back, but he never considered such a long-term matter. Faced with the questions raised by Qin Huairu, Qin Daguo didn't know how to answer them for a while.

Qin Baoming was speechless when he saw Qin Daguo being questioned by Qin Huairu. Considering that the other party was his cousin and the village party secretary of Qinjia Village, Qin Baoming immediately asked Qin Huairu dissatisfied: "Huairu! How can you talk to him like this? Uncle You, Sanbo, are you talking?"

When Qin Daguo saw that Qin Baoming said that Qin Huairu was wrong, he immediately said, "Baoming! I don't want Huairu to do this. I think things are too simple."

"Uncle San! In fact, there is nothing we can do. There is a shortage of meat in the city now. The village can organize militia companies to go hunting in the mountains, and then use the hunted prey to exchange for food in the city." Just when Qin Daguo felt disappointed because of Qin Huairu's words. , Qin Huairu suddenly said.

Since Qin Dabao became the buyer of the steel rolling mill, Qin Dabao has been back to Qinjia Village frequently in the past six months to purchase mountain products and game, allowing the villagers in Qinjia Village to make a small amount of money, but Qin Daguo has never considered using it. The militia company in the village went into the mountains to hunt, and then exchanged the prey for food.

Now hearing Qin Huairu's reminder, Qin Daguo suddenly felt enlightened. He instinctively patted his thigh and said with surprise on his face: "Why didn't I think of this method?"

"Huairu! Didn't you say that the food in the city is short? If we catch prey, can we really get food?" Qin Baohua heard the method introduced by Qin Huairu, saw Qin Daguo's reaction, and thought of what Qin Huairu said before , couldn't help asking Qin Huairu.

Hearing Qin Baohua's question, Qin Huairu thought of the black markets in Kyoto, and said to Qin Baohua with a smile: "Uncle Wu! Now the city is short of food, but also meat. If the village wants food, they can use pork to find it in the city. Some factories exchange some food, and you can also go to the black market, find the person in charge of the black market, and exchange pork with the other party for food.”

"Sister Huairu! The price of grain on the black market is three or even four times that of the grain station. Isn't it a loss-making business for us to exchange pork for grain?" Qin Pingan heard Qin Huairu's suggestion and thought of what he went to the black market this morning to learn about the situation , couldn't help asking Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu heard Qin Pingan's inquiry and said to Qin Pingan with a smile: "Peace! The price of food in the black market is high, and the price of pork is also high. We can go to the person in charge of the black market and exchange pork with them for food. "

Villagers in the countryside, because they don’t have all kinds of bills, want to buy some necessities in life, so they can only go to the black market to find all kinds of bills. As the village party secretary, Qin Daguo also went to the black market to buy them in order to get his children to get married smoothly. The bills know more or less about the situation in the black market.

Facing Qin Huairu's suggestion, Qin Daguo was moved immediately, and replied, "Huairu! Going to the black market to exchange food, although there are certain risks, is the only one that can solve the problem of food shortage in our village. You can really give it a try. try."

Qin Huairu was moved when she saw Qin Daguo, and immediately said to Qin Daguo: "Uncle! It's the New Year now. Everyone wants to buy pork back during the New Year, but the supply of pork in the city is only so little. If it's the New Year, Thirty years ago, if you could get a batch of pork into the city, you could definitely get a large amount of food in exchange."

"Bao Ming! The black market in Kyoto is there, do you know? I just didn't go back tonight, so I can take this opportunity to explore the black market." Qin Daguo felt his eyes light up when he heard Qin Huairu's reminder, and immediately turned to Qin Baoming. asked.

Qin Baoming never expected that Qin Huairu would persuade Qin Daguo to use the game he brought to the black market to get food. Thinking of the risk of going to the black market to sell food, Qin Baoming glared at Qin Huairu with dissatisfaction, and said to Qin Daguo: "Three Brother! Don’t listen to this girl’s nonsense. Going to the black market to exchange food is just speculation. If you are caught, you will be sentenced.”

"Dad! We're bartering. It's not speculative at all. In addition, we can make an appointment with the person in charge of the black market to trade in a place alone, so that no one will find out." Qin Huairu smiled when he heard Qin Baoming's words Refute Qin Baoming's words.

When Qin Baoming mentioned the four words of speculation, it was like a basin of cold water, which poured a chill into Qin Daguo's heart. As a result, when his heart retreated, Qin Huairu's words made him The heart that had just cooled down became hot again.

Since it was past nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Baoming, who had disguised himself a little, led Qin Daguo and others away from Qin Huairu's house.

Qin's mother looked at the backs of Qin Baoming and others disappearing into the night, and scolded Qin Huairu with a look of dissatisfaction: "Huairu! You clearly know that trading in the black market is risky, why do you still encourage your third uncle and the others to try their luck in the black market? ?”

When Qin Huairu heard Qin's mother's complaint, she thought of the purpose of Qin Daguo and others' coming, and asked Qin's mother: "Mom! The third uncle and the fifth uncle came to the city this time to find Aiguo through me and let Aiguo Help get a batch of food."

"If the village only needs one or two thousand kilograms of grain, and I am a daughter from Qinjia Village, I will help no matter what. But what the village lacks is half a year's rations for the whole village. If we help for the first time, Then there will be a second time. Our family can enter the city only with the help of Patriot. We can't harm Patriot for the sake of Qinjia Village, right?"

Qin's mother immediately thought of Wu Aiguo when she heard the news that Qinjiacun was short of food, but she ignored that Qinjiacun was short of half a year's rations. It wasn't until she heard Qin Huairu's reminder that she understood Qin Huairu's intentions. I couldn't help but sighed, and said to myself: "I hope your father and the others will have a smooth trip!"
