My courtyard shelter

"Mike, I want to buy a batch of fish meat. Do you have any?"

Xu Dong directly stated his purpose.

The purchase volume this time is large. It is probably not realistic to buy pork, beef and mutton. Fish meat is more suitable. After all, as long as the sea is not dry, it is a natural large fishery.

Comparatively speaking, fish meat is much cheaper than other meats.

"Fish meat? How much do you want?"

"About two tons!"

[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network→🆃🆆🅺♦🅽.🅲♦🅼]

There are about 300 people in the power company, 10 kilograms per person, which adds up to more than 3,000 kilograms, less than two tons.

He plans to eat the extra himself. There are many relatives and friends at home, so it is enough to share it.

"Can we trade with sugar?"

Mr. Mike asked tentatively.

Xu Dong frowned: "Is cash not okay?"

"It's difficult. You know that meat is in short supply. Besides, the quantity required this time is not small. If I just pay, I'm afraid I can't find any good source."

"No need for a good source, just ordinary goods will do. I can accept inferior ones."

Since he wasn't eating it himself, Xu Dong took the initiative to lower his requirements. Besides, his budget was limited and he couldn't afford expensive ones. .

Besides, in this day and age, it's good to have meat to eat.

"Is that so? I'll help you find it!"

Mike took out his mobile phone first and started to check it. During this time, he made several calls. Unfortunately, Xu Dong didn't understand English and didn't hear anything.

After making the last call, Mr. Mike made an OK gesture.

Xu Dong asked hurriedly: "What's the matter?"

"There is a batch of salted fish that needs to be processed urgently. The other party is willing to accept cash payment, but they do not guarantee the quality of the fish meat. In other words, once it is sold, they are not responsible."

"Is there a problem with the salted fish?"

"Let me tell you straight, this batch of salted fish is made of expired frozen fish meat. The freezing time is more than a year. The nutritional value must be greatly reduced, and it is even possible to mold."

It turned out to be "stinky salted fish", which can't be said to be stinky, it should be a level higher than stinky salted fish.

"How did it come from?"

"They are all eliminated from rich families. They will regularly clear their inventory at the end of the year."

"What's the price?"

"1.3 million yuan per ton, 2.5 million for two tons."

Xu Dong secretly calculated that one catty is about 600 yuan, which is nearly half cheaper than the market price, and this is dry goods, which is acceptable.

"I want it."

Xu Dong agreed on the spot.

"Okay, I'll get it for you, and you can just go to the warehouse to get the goods when the time comes."

"Thank you!"

"It's a small matter." Mr. Mike waved his hand, "Mr. Xu, during the Spring Festival, we plan to go back to Kangaroo Country. Do you want to take your family there for a trip?"

Xu Dong shook his head and sighed:

"I can't leave, I don't have time!"

"That's a pity. Kangaroo Country has developed well in the past two years. If it weren't for the hot weather, I think it would definitely become a popular place to live."

"Let's talk about it in a few years. Maybe my parents will settle there. You know that the winter here in Yanjing is really too cold."

"Indeed, after so many years, my family has not been able to adapt to the climate here. I am considering whether I should go back to live in retirement after retirement?"

"Why not go to the United States?"

Xu Dong asked in confusion.

The United States is a paradise for the rich. Putting aside other factors, if you simply choose a place to retire, whether it is food, accommodation, or medical conditions, the United States beats other countries.

Mr. Mike shook his head: "Compared with those capital tycoons, my assets are not even as good as my little finger. It's too unstable over there. Let's stay in China and live a peaceful life!"

"I think it's okay. Hasn't the other side been quite stable in the past two years!" Xu Dong said in surprise.

"You only see the surface. Think about the huge gap between the rich and the poor on the other side. It's impossible for it to be stable. And the 'meta-world' they created is just spiritual white flour. Sooner or later, something will happen."

"What can happen?"

Xu Dong expressed his doubts. Those capital tycoons are not vegetarians. They have absolute capital and absolute force, and at the same time hold the "meta-world" as a killer.

Flying dragon riding on the face, just ask how you lose?

Mr. Mike smiled: "To use a sentence I saw recently, I think it is very suitable."

"What sentence?"

"Either explode in silence or die in silence."

"Hiss, it's really quite vivid!"

The more Xu Dong thought about it, the more creepy he felt.

"Anyway, I won't go to the United States, and I won't let my family go there. It's a paradise of decadence."

Mr. Mike said earnestly.

Until lunch time, Xu Dong was still thinking about the conversation just now. He thought about his family's future destination. Should they take root in China or cultivate abroad?

Or walk on two legs?

The dinner prepared by Mrs. Mike was very simple. Each person had a piece of fat fried steak, a large bowl of vegetable salad, and finally a bottle of 2008 red wine.

Xu Dong cut a small piece of steak and put it in his mouth, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

"Delicious, it tastes really good."

"Thank you, I'm glad you like it!"

Mrs. Mike looked relieved.

Their family is what it is today, thanks to the person in front of them. The key is that he has a good character and is not a pure businessman who eats people without spitting out their bones.

In the words of Daxia, it is humane!

Xu Dong picked up the water glass: "Mike, madam, I'll drink tea instead of wine and give you both a drink. I'll also wish you a good year."

"Cheers, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Happy Spring Festival!"

…

Early the next morning, as soon as Xu Dong left, Lao He sent his granddaughter to the courtyard.

Yang Lina directly led the little girl to her sons' bedroom. The temperature was low in the winter morning, and the three brothers hadn't gotten up yet!

Originally she wanted to take care of it.

However, my mother-in-law firmly opposed it. In the words of the elderly, the three brothers Dabao were born prematurely and had insufficient congenital foundation. Sufficient sleep was more effective than anything else.

Because of this, except for going to school, the three brothers can sleep in normally at other times. They are so beautiful that their noses are bubbling.

"Dong dong dong..."

Xiaobao was the lightest sleeper. When he heard the knock on the door, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes, then jumped off the bed and ran to open the door with bare feet.

"Brother Xiaobao!"

Mengmeng called out sweetly.

When Xiaobao saw that the cute little sister was coming, he suddenly woke up and closed the door immediately. He was only wearing a pair of underwear at the moment!

Yang Lina said angrily: "You know the door is closed, it's almost half past eight, and everyone is sleeping like a lazy pig, are you ashamed?"

The little girl covered her mouth and snickered.

Ten minutes later, the three Dabao brothers were neatly dressed and sitting in the restaurant, ready to have breakfast.

As for the Coco sisters, they followed their grandfather to work in the bakery during the winter vacation. Xu Dong worked hard to train the sisters.

When the sisters go to work, they not only get high wages, but they can also accumulate game time.

The rules are simple. Every day you work, you can get one hour of game time.

The triplets' eyes turned red with envy.

I just regret that I am too young.

Xu's mother quickly heated up the breakfast, and the three Dabao brothers rushed up and put the food on the table.

"Mengmeng, do you want to eat some more?"

"Grandma, I've eaten in the morning, I'm not hungry!"

The little girl patted her belly and looked so cute.

Xu's mother helped Mengmeng peel an egg: "Then let's eat a boiled egg. Grandma's eggs are all local eggs, which are very nutritious."

"Thank you grandma!"

"So good!"

After breakfast, the triplets started playing with Mengmeng in the yard. The excavator and motorcycle were pushed out, and even Mark was taken off the leash.

Mengmeng is not very interested in toys, but is "devoted" to Mark. From time to time, she will pet the dog's head or help Mark comb his body hair.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the little girl has not lacked toys since she was a child, but she has lacked pets like Mark.

At ten o'clock, Niu Niu also came over.

Since they entered elementary school, Dabao and Niu Niu have become "estranged" from each other because they are not in the same school. However, they visit frequently during winter and summer vacations.

"Sister Niuniu."

Mengmeng quickly stepped forward and said hello.

Niuniu stretched out her hand and pinched the little girl's cheek:

"Mengmeng, when did you come?"

Usually, the three Dabao brothers usually sleep until after nine o'clock and don't get up until after nine o'clock. It is useless to come early and will only make people annoying.

"I arrived at eight-fifteen."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Xiujuan came over with her grandson and granddaughter. The children rarely met each other, and both parties intended to use the holidays to get the children close to each other.

Yang Lina pulled Xiao Zhang Xue forward.

"Come here and let Auntie take a look. Honey, our Xiaoxue has become beautiful again."

Zhang Xue is two years younger than the triplets and two years older than Mengmeng, just in the middle.

"Aunt Yang, you have become beautiful too!"

Zhang Xue was taught well by Zheng Yan. Not only did the little girl study well, she also had a very sweet mouth, which was as good as Lele.

"Haha, aunt is old."

Yang Lina has always liked Xiao Zhangxue.

At this time, Xu's mother came over with a fruit plate. The temperature was also rising now, and there was still some time before noon, so it was time to eat fruit.

"Come on, come and eat fruit!"

"Thank you grandma!"

The little guys quickly gathered around.

Only at a good friend's house can they happily eat fruit. Otherwise, they can only wait for the New Year and the holidays, or simply treat tomatoes as fruit.

Wang Xiujuan ate a strawberry: "Lao Zhang, Nana, taking advantage of the nice weather today, how about we play a few laps?"

"Okay, where's Sister Zheng? Why aren't you here?"

"She has returned to her parents' home. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. I want to send her some New Year's goods."

Yang Lina nodded: "Then let me call Sister Du over!"

Sister Du is Director Li's wife. The two families have been in contact for many years, and as their friendship deepened, "Aunt Li" unknowingly became "Sister Du."

Originally, Song Lin was the most suitable and she was close, but the other party had just given birth and was in confinement!

"Tell her to come here quickly and don't go back at noon. We'll deal with her here."

Wang Xiujuan warned.

The situation has improved a lot in the past two years, and eating is no longer as sensitive as before, and is much more casual.

Half an hour later, Aunt Li came over with her son Li Tao. Little Li Tao was as big as Mengmeng and was familiar with the three Dabao brothers. He quickly integrated into the children.

The yard suddenly became lively!
