A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 411 The Dangerous Black Market

"Really!"

He Yuzhu jumped three feet high.

"God is really wise and didn't let Zhu Zhu and his wife be wronged." The eldest mother cried with joy while holding Yi Xiaobao.

"Auntie, why does God have eyes for this? Brother Li Xiang obviously helped a lot." He Yuzhu grinned and corrected Auntie.

"That's right, it's my fault that I can't speak." The aunt immediately looked at Li Xiang gratefully, with apology in her eyes.

Her gratitude was justified.

After finally settling on a pension arrangement with the He family, if the couple were caught, it would be a total defeat.

He Yuzhu's son broke away from his mother's arms, walked to Li Xiang, hugged Li Xiang's thigh, and looked up at him
Even such a small furry child knows that this is the great benefactor of the family.

He said his thanks in a sweet voice: "Uncle Xiang, thank you for saving my parents. I will ask my dad to make you a big elbow later."

Li Xiang deliberately teased him, picked him up, and asked Xiao He Yong: "Just make a big elbow?"

Xiao Heyong wrinkled his nose and thought for a moment, then confidently confirmed with Li Xiang: "The big elbow is delicious."

The child thought to himself, this is the most delicious thing he has ever tasted. It is not enough to make this. It seems that he thinks his uncle is a little greedy.

Hahahahaha, children's childish words always make people laugh.

Several people present were amused by Xiao He Yong.

He Yuyu was teaching his little nephew, let alone big elbows, even gentian and phoenix. As long as your uncle is willing to eat it, your dad will have to try his best to get it.

Li Xiang's kindness to the He family can only be repaid with a few bites of food.

After finishing what needed to be explained, and finishing teasing the children, Li Xiang didn't want to stay and disturb them while they were eating.

Several people sent Li Xiang out of the door, watched him enter the backyard, and then turned back and sat back down.

The first man twirled his wine glass and said with a sigh: "The big stone in my heart has finally settled. Everyone can have a good sleep tonight."

Sister Tang is more pragmatic. Although she has been silent just now, the calculations in her mind have not stopped since she heard the good news.

"Tomorrow, I will go back to the countryside and bring some poultry back to my aunt. Although their family is not short of food, we can't lose our etiquette." Sister Tang said while serving the two children. own plan.

"That's right. There are still some cloth coupons in the house. There are not enough clothes for adults. I will make a new set of clothes for their Xiao Rui." The aunt agreed.

"There's no need for you to come up with this. We also have one in our house. This little treasure is also growing up in the wind. After all, she is a girl. It's hard to let her wear Xiaoyong's old clothes all the time." Sister Tang quickly refused and said at the table He was tugging at the corner of He Yuzhu's clothes as a reminder.

"Yes, yes, Auntie, you should keep the coupons for yourself. If you don't have enough at home, it won't be too late to talk to you then." After being reminded, He Yuzhu said something decent.

"Why are you being polite to us? Xiaobao grows up in the wind, but Xiaoyong doesn't grow up in the wind. Xiaobao can still pick up old clothes and wear them. What will happen when Xiaoyong grows taller?" The first uncle now also has feelings for Xiaoyong from the He family. A bit of love.

Although there is no shortage of supplies now, it is only relatively speaking.

I can only say that the tickets issued above can guarantee that you can buy the goods in the market.

If there are not enough tickets, it will be difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

For ordinary families, this cloth ticket is not enough.

If we follow the calculations issued through normal channels, the cloth tickets accumulated in one year will only be enough to make a new set of clothes for the family.

Whether to make clothes or trousers, to whom the clothes should be given, and to whom the trousers should be given, if they are not discussed in advance, quarrels and fights can occur over these things.

However, there is also a saying that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

When it comes to doing big things that require a lot of cloth, everyone has their own way. Those who are not financially well-off will borrow it from someone with whom they have good connections, and then return it when the invoice is issued next time.

If you borrow too many cloth tickets at one time, it sometimes takes a year or two to pay them back.

For people like Mr. Yi who have money, their solution is to buy with money.

Either someone nearby issued the tickets, just like when the Li family was poor in the past, all the tickets they received were exchanged for money as long as they were not necessities.

Or be braver and take a trip to the black market when the night is dark and windy.

The items sold there are all kinds and diverse, and are more diverse than those sold in many stores.

In the past two years, the black market has gradually become more relaxed, and it is rare to hear news about people being caught.

A few years ago, the enforcement was the strictest.

The more something is in short supply, the harder it is to catch it. The containers in stores and markets are empty. How dare you sell it on the black market?

Once buyers and sellers are caught on the black market, neither party ends well.

Relatively speaking, the buyer is slightly less responsible. If caught, he will report it to his current employer. If there is no relationship, it is normal for him to lose his job.

Most of the sellers usually do not have formal jobs. Then again, if they have serious jobs, there are a few who are willing to make such a scary amount of money.

Precisely because most of the sellers have no jobs, their punishment is to confiscate their property and then put them in jail for several years.

If it involves major material transactions, in serious cases they may even be shot.

The effect of killing chickens to scare monkeys is still very useful.

Li Xiang is the best example.

Just like when he was penniless at the beginning, for the sake of his own life, he would rather wander on the road and daydream about meeting noble people, but he never thought of going to the black market.

Even though he later had a huge amount of supplies, for the sake of his own future, he never thought about selling goods on the black market.

It can be seen from this that the "reputable reputation" of the black market is deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.

If it's not absolutely necessary, try not to go if you can.

When the uncle mentioned going to the black market to buy cloth tickets, everyone in the room, including the aunt, shook their heads.

"You don't understand. I can't be considered as going to the black market. It should be said that I am doing private transactions with black market merchants, and I also know this person." The first man took a sip of wine and explained to everyone.

After hearing this, Sister Tang stabbed her man with her arm and asked him, "When did you have any dealings with people in the black market?"

He shook his head in confusion, indicating that he was also confused.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, I don't have any. He usually uses the channels of his master and senior brother for his seasoning ingredients, so this can't be counted.

"Master, you have to be careful what you say. The lives of the whole family depend on this. I don't have the heart but I don't have the guts." He Yuzhu covered the painful part stabbed by his wife and replied with a grimace. .

The first man said swornly: "You guys saw me talking nonsense when I said I knew Zhu Zhu, there was no adulteration at all."

If looks could kill, then the looks in Sister Tang's and He Yuzhu's eyes were like sharp knives cutting into He Yuzhu's body.

At this moment, He Yuzhu was so speechless that he couldn't explain clearly.

I cried out in my heart that this uncle is causing me misery.
