Chu Xiangqian left the office building on the street with his large and small bags, found a deserted alley, put all the things into the warehouse, and took a roast chicken and squatted in the alley to eat it.
The last sip of mountain spring water from the game's novice village finally made my stomach feel better.
After thinking about it, I went to the nearest supply and marketing cooperative and bought 20 kilograms of bulk sweet potato roasting that did not require alcohol stamps. I wanted to buy a carton of cigarettes, but unfortunately I searched the warehouse and only found 2 cigarette stamps.
Now the cigarette coupons that Dad had left behind were all spent by him in just three days.
Secretly thinking that it was troublesome, I was thinking about where to get some various receipts.
After thinking about it, something clicked in my mind. With the third uncle's character, he would definitely not use some of the notes issued to him by the school. Instead, he would take them to the pigeon market to exchange for food or money.
It would definitely not work if you buy it directly from him.
Although there was no way to investigate the transactions between neighbors, and there was no evidence even if they were reported, Chu Xiangqian still had to be on guard.
But if you replace it with whole grains, dried fungus and the like, there will be no problem at all.
As long as the price offered is not lower than the market price, Yan Laozhao will definitely be willing to change it.
After all, when he goes to the pigeon market, he has to bear a lot of risks, and he saves the trouble of running around.
In this way, you can not only avoid losing money, but also win over the third uncle.
You can even get it by going to the deaf old lady in the backyard.
In the TV series, the old lady asked Silly Zhu to carry him to the pigeon market.
In addition, the old lady is greedy, so instead of being kidnapped by others in the future, it is better to openly give away meat and secretly exchange bills with the old lady.
Not only do you gain fame, but you don’t suffer any loss.
Yi Zhonghai also used this trick.
Every month the street would give money and tickets to the deaf old lady, but the food rations were in Yi Zhonghai's hands.
Of course, no matter whether Yi Zhonghai was doing it for fame or for whatever reason, he and his aunt had been cooking for the old lady, and some of his own sons couldn't compare.
If it weren't for the fact that in the TV series, he kept an eye on He Yuzhu's various schemes in order to provide for his old age, this old man would have been a lifelong moral model.
Since there are ready-made templates to learn from, Chu Xiangqian naturally followed them.
Carrying a 20-pound wine bottle home, as soon as I entered the door, because it was noon, there were not many people in the yard.
Chu Xiangqian saw three aunts and other women gathering together in the middle of the front yard while basking in the sun and chatting, or collecting shoe soles, folding paper bags, and gluing matches.
The group of women also saw Chu Qianqian, who was wearing a military coat, big-toed boots and a cashmere hat.
Yesterday, the people in the yard were frightened by Chu Xiangqian's knife.
Seeing him now in uniform, tall and powerful, with a holster on his armed belt, those who are timid will feel guilty.
When Chu Qianqian greeted them with a bright smile, the group of women came back to their senses, and their attitudes immediately became enthusiastic.
Either praising Chu for his forward spirit or praising his good looks.
Some people even directly said that they have a very beautiful niece.
Chu Qianqian hurriedly excused himself, said a few polite words, and then returned to his room.
I thought that in the afternoon, I would be able to bring my second uncle, uncle Jiang, the team leader and the accountant back with my love for the country and the people.
I am busy planning to make two-faced steamed buns.
It’s just that the total amount of rice and white flour in the warehouse is 110 kilograms, but there is no time to replace it with whole grains.
The stick noodles brought from the village were also made into steamed buns by Ai Guoquan yesterday.
I went out and shouted to the third aunt, "Third aunt, I want to make Erhe noodle steamed buns, but I didn't have time to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange fine grain for stick noodles, so how about I exchange food stamps with you for 5 pounds?"
Once she heard that the loan was not in vain, the third aunt felt relieved.
And she didn't dare to take advantage at this time. Chu Qianqian was wearing a uniform, and she might ask him for help at some point in the future.
Secondly, there were four or five old ladies staying together in the front yard. If I took advantage, someone might come forward to offer a fair price and form a good relationship with Chu Xiangqian.
Not only would he be embarrassed, but he would also offend Chu Xiangqian.
After listening to the third aunt asking him to give her 3 cents and 1 pound and 7 taels of food stamps, Chu Qianqian glanced at a few aunts in the yard.
Seeing that no one showed any surprise or contempt, I knew that the price should be the normal price.
Busy nodding, giving money and tickets.
When he got the stick noodles that the third aunt brought from home, Chu Xiangqian had already figured it out in his mind.
With 7 taels of food stamps and 30 cents per catty, I could just buy 1.7 catties of white flour.
According to the ratio of one to three, you can exchange for 5.1 kilograms of stick noodles.
The extra 1 tael should be regarded as a bonus. After all, it will take time and energy for people to replace it.
Seeing Chu Qianqian going home, the third aunt hurriedly asked, "Xiao Chu, are you making steamed buns?"
Chu nodded forward, and the third aunt said hurriedly, "Yesterday, didn't the second uncle invite you to his house for dinner tonight? For this reason, the second aunt went to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up early in the morning and bought half a catty of fat meat.
I plan to cook a few dishes, have you forgotten? "
Chu Xiangqian was stunned, he was so busy that he forgot about it.
He smiled and shook his head, "My second uncle, cousin and the village captain came over today to help me warm the house, and I have to prepare food for them.
After it's done, I'll go to the second uncle's place by myself. "
The third aunt's eyes lit up, "Then how about I help you cook so that your second uncle won't have to wait for you all the time."
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that the third aunt wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of cooking to prepare her own dinner, and maybe even bring some food home.
I immediately felt unhappy.
He secretly thought, no wonder Yan Fugui's family has no evil deeds, but they are the least popular among the people in the hospital.
It is normal to ask for help when you are really in trouble.
But he wants to take advantage all the time, and after a long time, the accumulated resentment is definitely not small.
To be honest, it would be nothing to Chu Qianqian if it was just the third aunt who ate along with her.
After all, when someone helps with cooking, it is also a form of help, and thanks are actually appropriate.
It's just a group of big men and a middle-aged woman they don't know. It's impossible for them to eat at the same table.
I'm afraid that the third aunt will use this as an excuse to eat and take it, and the second uncle and the others won't be able to say anything in unfamiliar situations, which would be disgusting.
Chu Qianqian smiled and shook his head, "No need, Third Aunt, I specifically asked for leave and came back at noon just to prepare dinner for the evening."
The third aunt could only watch with regret as Chu Qianqian returned to his house.
When the other ladies saw this, they couldn't help but curl their lips and secretly thought that Third Aunt was treating people like fools.
While I felt contempt in my heart, I didn't say anything.
After all, he had no connection with Chu Xiangqian, so he was plotted against him, and that was because he had no brains.
Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian knew the nature of most people in this courtyard, so he would not be fooled.
As for the second uncle's wine and meat dishes, Chu Xiangqian would definitely eat them.
No, you should think of an excuse to bring the food and wine from the second uncle’s house to your own home.
It's not that he wanted to take advantage of the second uncle, but that this was the guest he invited to apologize.
Not eating it will offend others.
And when eating together, you can also have more than one dish and wine. By the way, I would like to tell the people in this courtyard that I am not a helpless person like Silly Zhu.
