My Courtyard Refuge

: The Pullet

“Boss, here’s the milk, can you see if it’s okay?” Yang Lina yelled, mainly for the followers.

The owner opened the three boxes of milk and checked them one by one. After all, it is not a small amount, so it is right to be cautious..

“No problem, I’ll get you the pig’s head.”

After getting the pig’s head, Xu Dong and the two didn’t leave immediately, but watched the shopkeeper bargaining with those second-hand dealers.

In the end, he sold three cartons of milk for 8,000 yuan.

“Boss, you’re earning too much money, you earned an extra two thousand yuan by switching hands.” Yang Lina couldn’t help but said sourly.

“Hey, I’m lucky today, thanks to the two of you taking care of my business.” The shopkeeper said politely, maybe because he felt sorry, and finally gave him a thigh bone.

Only then did Yang Lina’s expression soften.

“Boss, let’s leave a contact information for each other. Only you have meat, and I can exchange things at any time on my side. I promise not to let you suffer.”

The reason why Xu Dong insisted on making a profit is that he actually planned to build a good relationship with the other party. After all, this is not a one-shot deal, and there will be more demand for meat in the future!

“No problem, next time there will be meat, I will be the first to notify you.” The owner said enthusiastically.

Then the two sides exchanged phone numbers.

===Section 44===

…

After visiting the shop area, Xu Dong and his wife bought some dried seafood in addition to pastries and pig’s head. A box of Milk Deluxe was exchanged for a big bag, which was much more cost-effective than the pig’s head.

The two returned everything to the car.

Before it was dark, the couple went shopping in the shed area and the street stall area again.

The greenhouse area has a total of four partitions, and the conditions are much worse than the shop area. Except for sun protection, other aspects are no different from the stall area.

Most of the merchants in the shed area are small merchants with weak strength, or they are simply the concentration of second-hand merchants.

The things sold here are quite miscellaneous. Basically, except for valuables, everything else is sold.

It also includes food, but the price is several times higher than the market price, and the quantity is not very large. Most people only buy a few catties for emergency.

In the past two months, the country has gradually tightened the grain sales channels, and even large supermarkets cannot get purchase channels.

If they want to buy grain, citizens can only go to the state-designated grain store to buy, and they have to restrict purchases with their household registration books.

The purchase limit is 30 catties per month for those over ten years old, and 15 catties per month for those under ten years old.

Generally speaking, the supply of food is still sufficient at the moment, but it is difficult to hoard it. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but it also takes a lot of energy.

The most important thing for their family is food, so the two wandered around casually, feeling that there was nothing good, so they simply skipped the greenhouse area and came to the street stall area.

Most of the street stalls are retail households or temporary stalls set up by individuals. The rent here can be rented monthly or daily.

Walking around, Yang Lina suddenly pointed to the front left and said, “Look, husband, where are there chickens for sale?”

“where?”

Xu Dong followed his wife’s finger and looked over, only seeing the turbulent crowd, and saw nothing else.

“follow me.”

Yang Lina led Xu Dong through the crowd and came to the booth of an old man. There were indeed two hens with bound feet, which looked less than a catty.

The little hen must have been exposed to the sun all afternoon, making her a little sick.

Several customers were bargaining with the uncle, and the price had reached 5,000 yuan, but the uncle still did not let go.

Seeing this, Yang Lina hurried forward and asked:

“Uncle, how do you sell these two chickens?”

A bystander next to him replied on behalf of the uncle: “They don’t sell it for money, they are only willing to exchange it for baby milk powder, two chickens for one can.”

Yang Lina’s eyes lit up when she heard this, she immediately pulled Xu Dong aside and asked in a low voice:

“Husband, do Dabao and the others have any extra milk powder? I remember you bought 100 boxes back then, right?”

“There are indeed quite a few left. Why, do you want to exchange these two hens? Let me tell you, milk powder is much more expensive than these two chickens. A can of milk powder can sell for 10,000 yuan now!”

Last week, Xu Dong sold another can of milk powder to his colleague Gao Yuemei at the price of 10,000 yuan per can.

Not only did they not think the price was expensive, but they looked like they had taken advantage of it.

“What do you know?”

Yang Lina patiently explained: “These two hens can lay eggs if they are raised again. The eggs are no worse than milk powder, and they can also be used for cooking. Why isn’t it worthwhile?”

Xu Dong thought so too, there happened to be a vegetable garden at home, the chickens could eat leftovers, and the chicken droppings could be used to fertilize the land. It really is a perfect closed loop, so he nodded and said:

“Okay, just wait, I’ll go and discuss it with the uncle.”

After speaking, he squeezed into the crowd again, and then whispered into the uncle’s ear:

“Uncle, I happen to have baby milk powder at home, if you want, you can go back with me to get it.

Or you can stay here, and I will come back after I get the milk powder. It takes about an hour to go back and forth. You have to keep the chicken for me. ”

The uncle was very excited when he heard that, holding a chicken in one hand, and then urged Xu Dong to go to the park police station to make a record.

With the record, the uncle will not be afraid.

For a mere 10,000 yuan, the other party should not be able to defy the law after thinking about it, becauseNot worth it.

After leaving the gate of the police station, Xu Dong couldn’t laugh or cry, the uncle’s vigilance was too high.

If he hadn’t taken out the work card of the power company, the uncle probably wouldn’t have given up easily.

“Young man, don’t blame the uncle for being careless. These two chickens are my granddaughter’s life-saving chickens, so I have to be more careful.” The uncle said embarrassedly.

Xu Dong waved his hand: “It’s okay! Uncle Zuo, let’s start early, it’s getting dark soon.”

“Okay, okay…” The uncle couldn’t ask for more, for fear that Xu Dong would repent because of what happened just now.

When he came to the parking lot, Xu Dong pointed to Yang Lina and introduced, “Uncle Zuo, this is my wife Yang Lina, you can call her Nana.”

Before entering the police station, Xu Dong asked his wife to wait for him in the parking lot.

“Hello, Uncle Zuo.” Yang Lina greeted.

“Hello!” The uncle was a little cautious.

Xu Dong briefly explained the matter, and then started the car. When the uncle saw the luxury car, he felt more at ease now.

On the way, the three of them started chatting.

“Uncle Zuo, where is your family?” Yang Lina asked.

“In Daxin District.”

“It’s quite far away, can we make it back at night?”

“Yes, if not, hire a taxi, it won’t cost much.” The uncle replied.

Xu Dong took the opportunity to ask: “Uncle Zuo, where did your chicken come from? Did your family raise it?”

The uncle nodded and talked about his own affairs:

“Originally, I planned to raise it to supplement my granddaughter-in-law’s health. She just gave birth to a baby a year ago. After all, the chickens raised by her family are safe.

…

Who would have thought that milk powder is in short supply now, so I have no choice but to come to the city to try my luck, luckily I met you. “
