Siheyuan: Master of the Fire, Eating Watermelons Online

Chapter 86: Pigeon City News, Brick Brothers
Strictly speaking, the next few years were not easy.

Even if Wang Weiguo has a system, stockpiling food is still necessary.

The system's melon-eating value is of greater use to Wang Weiguo.

There is nothing wrong with occasionally buying something that is not available in this era or is relatively scarce, but if it can be solved with money, it is better not to waste the eating value.

Especially the grain that Wang Weiguo is going to stockpile next is not a small amount.

Wang Weiguo not only had to prepare for himself, but also for his parents and his aunt's family.

If you rely solely on the melon-eating value, even if you can do it, it will be quite difficult.

You can’t use all the melon-eating points you’ve worked so hard to save to buy food, right?

However, even if Wang Weiguo would find an opportunity to remind his parents and aunt's family and ask them to make appropriate preparations, there was no way to tell them about the upcoming famine that would affect the entire country.

Moreover.

Now that the country is developing rapidly and everything is prosperous, who could have imagined that a difficult period lasting three years would suddenly emerge?

Soon.

Wang Weiguo came to Pigeon City.

At this time, there are still quite a few people in Pigeon City.

There are people selling things here, and there are people buying, but no one is shouting loudly.

Most people coming and going in the Pigeon Market wrap themselves tightly with hats, scarves and the like. They look cautious and nervous, and it is obvious that they are paying attention to the surrounding situation at all times.

Whether you come here to buy or sell things, they are all very low-key.

Although the pigeon market is tacitly approved by the higher-ups, it is not a legal entity after all.

If you are unlucky and happen to encounter a crackdown on speculation and get caught accidentally, you will be in trouble.

With the system's portable space, Wang Weiguo was not that afraid. If he really encountered it, even if he couldn't escape, nothing could be found on him.

However, to be on the safe side, Wang Weiguo still made some disguises.

"How much is this rice?"

After walking around the pigeon market for a while, Wang Weiguo stopped in front of a makeshift stall selling rice.

The stall owner wore a hat and covered half of his face with a cloth. He looked at Wang Weiguo with his exposed eyes and said, "Top-quality refined rice, no ticket required, 45 cents per pound."

"45 cents per pound?" Hearing the price, Wang Weiguo frowned, "So expensive?"

The current market price of rice is around 1.3 to 1.5 cents. Even for refined rice, the price does not exceed 2 cents at most. However, this is based on purchasing with coupons.

But even if you don’t need a ticket, the price is obviously high right now.

A pound of rice costs almost fifty cents.

The key point is that the best quality pork now only costs about 70 or 80 cents.

Upon hearing this, the stall owner began to promote his product: "Brother, I don't need a ticket! The key is to look at my rice, it is top-quality refined rice, which cannot be compared with ordinary rice."

"How much do you weigh in total?"

"I weighed myself before I left, and it was exactly 36.7 jin."

"I weighed it before I left the house, and it's still the same pound. Is it too expensive and no one wants to buy it?"

"No..., buddy, you're looking for trouble, right?"

"Give me a fair price, and I'll take all of these."

"You want all of them? Are you sure?"

"..."

After taking a look, he found that the quality of the rice was indeed good. After some bargaining and finding the price acceptable, Wang Weiguo bought it all.

After buying rice, Wang Weiguo bought some white flour, some mountain products and bacon.

As for corn noodles and the like, although they were cheap, Wang Weiguo didn't even look at them.

The main thing is that this corn flour contains real corn cobs, and sometimes it is ground together with corn cobs. It is not the kind of fine corn flour in later generations, which makes your throat hurt when you eat it.

This whole grain is really "coarse".

It's okay to eat one or two meals occasionally, but if you have the conditions, there is no need to make yourself suffer.

There was still a lot of food in Pigeon City, and Wang Weiguo had enough money, but he did not conduct a thorough sweep, mainly because he was afraid of attracting attention and being targeted.

This pigeon city is not safe.

Even though Wang Weiguo is not afraid of trouble with his current military strength, he still chooses to keep a low profile.

In particular, it is necessary to avoid being targeted by official people. After all, purchasing and hoarding large quantities of food at one time will make the target too big and the risks too great.

Wang Weiguo decided to break the whole into small pieces and make more trips if he had time.

The current market conditions are still good, so there is no need to get nervous so quickly.

even so.

Wang Weiguo had just left Pigeon City and inevitably attracted uninvited guests.

"Brother, do you want a ticket?"

If the other party had not said this in time, Wang Weiguo would have almost dragged the tightly wrapped ticket scalper into a corner and beat him up.

Obviously. No matter how low-key Wang Weiguo wanted to be, he had just bought a lot of things, so he naturally became the other party's customer target.

"What's there?"

He really needed some tickets, so Wang Weiguo did not refuse, but asked.

"It depends on what you want." I don't know where the other party came from, but he spoke in a very loud tone, "As long as you want it, I can get it for you."

“Do you have a bicycle ticket?”

"Do you really want it?"

"do not want!"

"..."

The ticket scalper, who thought he had found a big customer, almost got so angry that he hit Wang Weiguo after hearing him say "no".

However, when the other party saw the bicycle in Wang Weiguo's hand, he naturally realized that Wang Weiguo might be testing his strength, so he calmed down his anger and said, "If you really want it, I do have a bicycle ticket."

Hearing this, Wang Weiguo stopped teasing the other party and asked directly, "Do you have food coupons, meat coupons, and cloth coupons?"

Although he had just bought some rice and flour, it was obviously not enough to stockpile food. At the same time, Wang Weiguo planned to get some cloth coupons to make himself two new sets of clothes.

"You won't say no this time, will you?"

With the previous experience, the other party couldn't help but confirm it in advance.

"want!"

"How much?"

"how much do you have?"

"How much do you want?"

"All of them."

"..."

The other party is numb.

I thought Wang Weiguo was messing with me again.

But Wang Weiguo was not joking with him.

As long as the other party can take it out now and Wang Weiguo can eat it, he will definitely not miss it.

It also saves me the trouble of going to the pigeon market all the time.

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Wang Weiguo reached into his pocket and actually took out more than 100 yuan from his personal space to prove his strength.

Of course there are more things in the portable space than these, but there is no need to expose them all at once.

Next.

Naturally, Wang Weiguo bought all of the more than 100 kilograms of food coupons and more than 10 kilograms of meat coupons on the other person.

A total of more than thirty feet of cloth coupons were also collected.

Wang Weiguo happened to see some timber tickets and asked for a few.

Since a lot of items were purchased at one time, Wang Weiguo took the opportunity to lower the price, but not too much. Anyway, both parties could accept it.

Seeing so many transactions at once, the other party was obviously in a good mood and immediately asked: "Brother, do you still want watch tickets and radio tickets?"

"do not want!"

Wang Weiguo refused directly.

The watch itself already has one.

As for the radio, when he wants it someday, he plans to go to the trust store to buy it and save some money.

The other party was obviously unwilling to give up and continued to ask: "Do you still need the food coupons and meat coupons?"

"you also have?"

Wang Weiguo was a little surprised.

"Of course I have some, but I don't have the others with me. But there aren't that many left."

After the other party finished speaking, he quickly added: "If you need more, I can help you collect more and then trade."

"can."

"Let's make friends. My name is Junzi. What's your name, brother?"

"Brick!"

"Brother Banzhuan, where can I find you next time?"

"Still here..."

"..."

Leaving addresses or something like that was naturally impossible. Even with the transaction experience just now, the two people were still strangers in essence.

When neither party knows the other's background, it is natural for them to keep something in reserve.

After leaving here, Wang Weiguo found a deserted place and quickly put the things he bought from Pigeon City into his personal space.
