Chapter 66 1958 New Year
As He Yuzhu firmly established himself in the city bureau cafeteria, 1958 arrived unknowingly.
With the issuance of various bills, material control has become more and more strict, and meat, eggs, etc. have become increasingly difficult to buy. The pigeon market and the black market also grew.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the prices of meat, eggs, and fish on the black market continue to rise.
At night, He Yuzhu took advantage of the darkness and appeared in the pigeon market carrying a tightly covered bamboo basket. After paying the entrance fee, we went in, found a spacious place, and put down the bamboo basket.
He Yuzhu took out several sacks from the space and spread them on the ground. Using the bamboo basket to cover them, He Yuzhu took out a pig from the space and placed them on the sacks.
As soon as the pigs were released, many people gathered around them.
"How do you sell pork?" someone asked.
He Yuzhu: "2 yuan a pound, no votes."
"It's so expensive, who can afford it?" People around were talking.
He Yuzhu: "Whether you want to buy it or not, this is the price. No counter-offer."
He Yuzhu took out the prepared knife and started to break down the pork. The meat is broken down piece by piece.
Some people lost their temper and had to pay for a piece of meat at the price of 2 yuan per catty that He Yuzhu said.
With one person taking the lead, others also joined in the rush to buy pork.
One pig, including the water, was sold out in a short time. Those who didn't buy anything asked He Yuzhu: "Brother, will you come to sell meat tomorrow?"
He Yuzhu: "I won't come, all the meat will be sold."
Those who didn't buy it looked frustrated. Although 2 yuan is expensive, you can't buy it now if you have money.
He Yuzhu went to another pigeon market overnight and used the same method to sell a pig for 2 yuan a pound.
Before leaving, He Yuzhu felt that he was being watched. It seems that selling one pig at a time is a bit too high-profile.
He Yuzhu calmly came to an alley and entered the space. When they chased after him, they found that they had lost all trace of He Yuzhu.
When the pursuers turn away, come out immediately and control them.
He Yuzhu asked: "Who sent you here?"
"No one sent it. We just wanted to make money."
Seeing their harsh words, He Yuzhu picked up a brick, smashed one of their fingers, and continued to torture them severely.
The two of them were watchers of the pigeon market. When they saw that He Yuzhu was alone and had a good income from selling a pig, the boss of the pigeon market wanted to rob He Yuzhu, but he didn't expect to be knocked down by He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu first dealt with two people, then changed his appearance and returned to Pigeon City. He radiated his consciousness and began to search for the treasure location of the boss of Pigeon City.
After walking around Pigeon City, I found the place where the boss of Pigeon City hid his money in an inconspicuous yard on the outskirts.
He Yuzhu used his spiritual consciousness to receive the box containing the money into the space.
After returning home, He Yuzhu took out the box and opened it. There were 500 big black cards, 100 small yellow croakers, and 2,000 US dollars. 2 shell guns. When the boss of Pigeon City finds out that the money is gone, I wonder if he will be furious.
On New Year's Eve, He Yuzhu and Yu Yu rode bicycles with a large piece of pork, fish, shrimp, chicken and vegetables to deliver to Master's house.
Master Fan Dakang was a little worried when he saw He Yuzhu bringing such a large piece of meat. After all, it is impossible for a regular butcher shop to sell you such a large amount of meat at one time, so he can only buy it from the black market: "Zhuzi, don't go to those places in the future, it's not safe. "
He Yuzhu clenched his fist and hit his chest: "Master, don't worry. Three or five people can't weigh me down."
Fan Dakang: "Don't think it's a big deal just because you know how to punch and kick. Those people all have guns. Even if you don't cause trouble, bullets don't have eyes."
He Yuzhu: "Okay Master, I will try to go as little as possible in the future."
Fan Dakang also knew that it was impossible not to go to the black market and pigeon market: "Well, if you can't help it, you should try your best not to go."
He Yuzhu: "Don't worry, Master, I don't usually go there. After all, our cooks are not short of food. Isn't it the Chinese New Year? I'll wait to buy some meat to eat."
Master Wife: "Okay, you still have to listen to your master about Zhuzi. After all, safety comes first."
In the evening, He Yuzhu cooked the New Year's Eve dinner and prepared a table of rich dishes.
Halfway through the meal, Zhou Jianye came back with his senior sisters Fan Ting and Xiao Yuanchao.
Wife: "Why are you back at this time? What happened?"
Senior sister Fan Ting: "Nothing happened. Jianye has to go on duty at the institute tonight. Yuanchao and I are the only ones at home. It's so deserted, so I asked him to send us two over."
Wife: "Have you eaten yet?"
Fan Ting: "We ate at his father's house."
Fan Dakang: "Sit down and eat some more with us."
He Yuzhu brought chopsticks to Zhou Jianye and his senior sister. The two of them also sat down and took a few bites.
He Yuzhu greeted Zhou Jianye who was drinking some wine: "Come on, let's have some drinks."
Zhou Jianye: "I won't drink tonight. I have to go on duty at the office soon."
Mistress: "You guys eat first, I'll make some dumplings for you."
Fan Ting also stood up and followed her wife to the kitchen: "Mom, let me help you."
Zhou Jianye looked at his watch: "It's getting late, I have to go to the office."
Fan Dakang: "Just wait a moment and bring some dumplings later."
Zhou Jianye: "The deputy director of the institute is still on duty for me and has not returned home. I should go there early and he should go home from get off work early."
He Yuzhu: "Master, let him go. Just give him some when I go back later."
Zhou Jianye: "Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Zhuzi."
He Yuzhu: "By the way, there are pork head meat and soy sauce beef that I made in the kitchen. You can bring some with you."
"Really? Then I'll be in luck." After saying that, Zhou Jianye went to the kitchen to find his wife and get some meat.
After eating dumplings at the master's house in the evening, He Yuzhu left with the dumplings for Zhou Jianye, while Yu Yu stayed at the master's house.
He Yuzhu brought the dumplings to the Industrial Safety Office and saw Xiao Zhao on duty: "Brother Zhao, where are you on duty?"
Xiao Zhao: "Is it Zhuzhu? You are staying at home during the Chinese New Year, why are you coming here?"
He Yuzhu: "I'll give you a meal, Director Zhou."
Xiao Zhao: "Hey, what delicious food are you giving to the director?"
He Yuzhu: "I brought a lot of dumplings. I'll leave you a box to share and try. It can also be considered as making up for the New Year's dumplings."
Xiao Zhao reached out to take the lunch box and said, "How embarrassing."
Seeing his actions, He Yuzhu didn't seem to be embarrassed at all.
He Yuzhu sent the remaining dumplings to Zhou Jianye's office: "The dumplings are delivered to you."
Zhou Jianye opened the lunch box, pinched a dumpling and put it in his mouth: "Smells good."
He Yuzhu: "Okay, you can eat slowly. I'll go back first."
Zhou Jianye: "Okay, you should go back quickly. Don't let Yu Yu wait at home alone."
He Yuzhu: "Yuyu stayed at Master's house, and I went back to sleep."
He Yuzhu got up and went home.
The next day, when he woke up on the first day of the Lunar New Year, He Yuzhu first went to his master's house to pay New Year's greetings, and then took Yuyu to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings.
Uncle Peng Dahai looked worried, so He Yuzhu asked: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you worried during the Chinese New Year?"
Uncle: "Oh, the restaurant is in a bad situation. It's okay not to make money, but if this continues, your senior brother and the others won't have a chance to practice."
When He Yuzhu heard about this, although he knew that Tanjia Cuisine would move into the Forty-Nine City Hotel this year, he couldn't say it clearly, and he didn't know how to comfort him. He only said dryly: "Uncle, there will be a turn for the better."
Master: "Forget it, just take it one step at a time."
At noon, He Yuzhu and Yuyu had dinner at their uncle's house and then went home.
