Mother Xu helped her grandson pick up a fried bun.

The chef hired by Xu Dong is very skilled. He used to be the chef of a five-star hotel. He cooked all the meals by himself. It can be seen that he is very attentive.

After all, in the current environment, no matter how good the cooking skills are, there is not much room for them. China is not the United States. A "rationing system" directly disintegrated the entire high-end catering industry.

The chef cherishes the current job opportunity.

"Thank you, grandma."

Dabao blew the fried bun carefully, then took a small bite. The fried bun was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth.

Little Tiger also clamored to eat it.

Xu Jingyi immediately said with a fierce face: "Don't eat anymore, you've already eaten two, if you eat more you'll have a bloated stomach, be good and don't be naughty."

"Wow wow wow... No, I want to eat..."

"Okay, don't cry, grandpa still has half a bun here, all for you."

Xu Bin quickly gave the half-eaten fried bun to Xiao Huzi. Among the three grandchildren, he was most partial to the second grandchild, after all, the little guy also had the surname Xu.

Xiao Huzi immediately burst into laughter.

Mother Yang frowned slightly, but finally didn't say anything.

Shortly after breakfast, the delivery truck of the Sydney Bakery arrived, with a total of more than 5,000 kilograms of bread, almost filling up half of the carriage.

Captain Zhou and others were quick and unloaded the goods in less than half an hour.

Xu Dong took the opportunity to gather all the servants and security personnel in the manor together.

"Well, I know that it's not easy for everyone during this period, so I specially got you a batch of bread. A box of bread costs 2,000 yuan, and each person is limited to buying a maximum of 10 boxes. Those who are interested can go to Captain Zhou to sign up."

The reason why Xu Dong asked for half of the bread was to prepare it for these people. It's a bit unreasonable that outsiders can have a share while their own people don't.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Everyone was overjoyed.

Seeing that a big crisis was about to come, everyone was desperately stockpiling food, but they never expected that the big boss would be so helpful and take the initiative to help them solve their worries.

Xu Dong smiled and waved his hand: "This is just the first batch of bread, and there will be more later. In short, with me, everyone doesn't have to worry about not having food, just stay and work with peace of mind."

"Pah pah pah..."

Ten minutes later, Captain Zhou found the big boss with the list.

"Mr. Xu, this is the list of purchasers."

Xu Dong took it and took a look, then asked in confusion: "Why are your and Peng Yan's names not on it?"

"You have already helped us, that batch of canned food..."

Zhou Yinsheng said embarrassedly.

That batch of canned food is much more expensive than bread, and the key is that there are more of them, a total of fifty boxes, which almost emptied their family's savings.

"Canned food is canned food, which has nothing to do with this matter. Besides, this batch of bread is enough, and you two are not missing. Don't save it for me."

After Xu Dong said that, he picked up the pen on the table and added the names of the two people himself.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu."

Zhou Yinsheng was very moved.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Xu Dong returned the list to the other party, and then added: "Please help me load the remaining bread into the small truck, and accompany me to go out in the afternoon."

"I know."

Captain Zhou had just left, and Xu's mother arrived right after him.

As soon as the old man entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Old Third, is the bread here?"

"Yes, the bread has arrived."

"Then I'll notify Lao Lian and the others to come over."

Xu's mother turned around and was about to leave.

Xu Dong hurriedly called his mother: "Mom, wait a minute."

"What's wrong?"

"It's too conspicuous to go in and out of the house. It's not very convenient. I think it's best to drive the bread to the entrance of the black market on Yanjing Road, and let them go there to get the bread directly."

Xu Dong hurriedly explained.

"That's fine, what time?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon, try to arrange the order in advance, don't rush in."

Mother Xu nodded: "Your idea is not bad, I will go with you in the afternoon?"

"If you want to go, go!"

"By the way, how much is the bread?"

"A box of 10 kilograms is 2,000 yuan, and 200 kilograms per person is 40,000 yuan. In addition, you remind them that there is no need to rush about money, and it doesn't matter if it's a few days late."

"Isn't this price a bit expensive?"

Mother Xu hesitated.

"Mom, don't you see what time it is now? My price is really not expensive. A kilogram of potatoes on the black market outside costs more than 300 yuan!"

"So expensive?" Mother Xu was shocked.

"They must have been scared in the past few years. Let me tell you, how many people are there in Xueli? There is no need to worry about food shortages. We are wasting money now."

Xu Dong sighed.

Xu Ma suddenly thought of something: "Third brother, your cousin's family is still in Maoben. I don't know how they are doing over there. Are they short of food?"

Xu Dong's cousin is Da Jie's father.

At first, the Da family agreed to settle in Xueli, but later because of Da Bing's work, it was really inconvenient, and finally they had to move to Maoben.

Fortunately, the distance between the two places is not too far.

Last Spring Festival, the Da family came to pay New Year's greetings.

"Mom, don't worry, I just mailed them fifty boxes of cans some time ago, which is enough for them to eat for a year or two."

Xu Dong immediately comforted him.

When he mailed cans to Yang's father before, he also mailed a batch to his cousin. After all, the two families were related, so there was no reason to forget them.

"Really? I'll call you later and see if they still need anything."

Xu Ma nodded with satisfaction.

…

After lunch, Xu Dong set off with his mother, followed by Zhou Yinsheng in a minivan.

The black market is very close and can be reached in less than a quarter of an hour.

The black market here is very small, with only a short street lined with second-hand goods stores, including those selling grain.

It's just that the scale is also very small.

As soon as the car stopped, Aunt Lian, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came over with her son.

There was an electric three-wheel parked behind them.

"Lao Zhang, Dongzi, you are finally here."

Xu Ma looked at the middle-aged man in front of her: "Old Lian, is this your son?"

"Yeah, the bread is too heavy. I definitely can't move it by myself."

"Aunt Zhang, Director Xu, hello!"

Xu Dong nodded, said a few simple polite words, and then asked Captain Zhou to open the door of the pickup truck.

"Dongzi, are these all?"

Aunt Lian said with a look of surprise.

"That's right, a box of bread is ten pounds, and two hundred pounds is exactly twenty boxes."

Aunt Lian immediately took out a paper bag from her pocket and couldn't wait to stuff it into Ma Xu's arms.

"Lao Zhang, this is the money to buy bread. I just took it out from the bank. You count it."

Xu's mother threw the money directly to her youngest son: "No need to count, can I still not believe you?"

"It's better to count and feel at ease."

Aunt Lian advised.

"Aunt Lian, it's okay, let's start moving things, the people behind are still waiting!"

Xu Dong reminded with a smile.
