"Stop!~What are you doing!"
The sudden shouts made Guan Ping and Zhang Bao freeze on the spot. After a while, they realized that I was moving things and it was not in the pigeon market. What were I afraid of!
As soon as he turned around, he was about to get angry, "You king... king..."
"What?" Su Xiaoqiang asked with a half-smile.
"Brother Su, why are you here? What a coincidence." The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Su Xiaoqiang. Although they were not afraid, it was not safe to be discovered by so many old people.
"You two have done a great job. These things are all antiques. Where did they come from?"
Su Xiaoqiang did not answer their words, but approached a jar and looked at it. Of course Su Xiaoqiang didn't understand these things, but there are very few fake ones now, and after 66 years, they probably won't be able to keep them.
"Hehe, we are on good terms." Guan Ping said. They originally admired Su Xiaoqiang for being able to fight. After getting along with each other for this period of time, the two of them had nothing to say to Su Xiaoqiang.
"A good thing?" Su Xiaoqiang asked with a frown.
"Everyone is short of food now. Although we are not the boss of Pigeon Market, we have been around for many years and have a strong reputation. These are old customers who store them with us, so we can help exchange for some food when we have the opportunity." Zhang Bao explained.
Su Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up, what a great opportunity, and then he asked with a smile: "I see, you are so kind-hearted? You are making a lot of money, right?"
"It's just a small handling fee, nothing more, nothing more."
"Then do you have food channels?"
"There used to be..." Guan Ping said, "Since the second half of this year, there have been less. Now you can't even find sweet potatoes. In the past, many people came to sell food in Pigeon City, especially in the nearest villages, and there was so much to eat in rural areas. People will exchange grain for money.”
"What's the price of sweet potatoes now?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at these old things and thought it would be good if he could collect some.
"Rice and white flour now cost 8 cents per catty, cornmeal costs 4 cents per catty, and sweet potatoes cost 1.2 cents per catty."
Su Xiaoqiang nodded. The price was similar to what he had expected. "The price will probably increase."
"Yes, this has already increased several times, but the price has no intention of stopping. I estimate that it may rise to several yuan per catty in two months." Zhang Bao took out his account book and checked it. Next he asked, "Brother Su also needs food?"
Guan Ping also looked over. There are fewer and fewer leftovers in the state-owned hotel these days, so there are less to bring back. It is estimated that it will be difficult in another two months.
"I'm not short of food, but I want to sell food." Su Xiaoqiang had a hunch that he got the Poison Doctor skill in today's lottery. In the next few months, all the food he drew might be food. There is not enough food in the warehouse to eat now.
The two of them were shocked. They didn't expect that Su Xiaoqiang was selling food. Nowadays, the people who can get food are all people with a big background.
"Hey, Brother Su, I'll give you a squeeze. What do you think of the two of us..." Guan Ping came up with a flattering look on his face.
"I'm trying to please the wrong person. I don't know that grain merchant. I also use money to do things. He has five thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes over there. Can you eat them?" Su Xiaoqiang didn't take them all out. Anyway, the water is flowing, and there will be time in the future. Slowly, too much may cause trouble.
"But I can eat it too much. I can eat ten times more!" Zhang Bao thought it was only a few hundred kilograms, but he didn't expect it to be so much, so he immediately said it was no problem.
When Guan Ping heard Zhang Bao say it was no problem, it was no problem. It was estimated that there were not enough people to book.
"Okay, I'll tell him to deliver it, but if you want to give me the money, it depends on whether you believe me or not." Su Xiaoqiang mentioned the money deliberately.
"Brother Su, do you think you can exchange it for antiques? Come in and take a look, pick whatever you like..." Guan Ping took Su Xiaoqiang to the inner room, and saw that the room was full of old things. These two guys How many things have been collected?
"It's not impossible, it's just how to calculate the price. You all know that food is precious now and antiques cannot be eaten. They must not be too expensive." Su Xiaoqiang also saw rosewood tables and chairs among them, which were not too beautiful.
"These things all have market prices, but now they are all anxious to get food. If they are all discounted at 50%, what's the use of antiques if they can't survive."
Guan Ping pointed to a piece of blue and white porcelain and said, "For example, this thing usually costs 50 yuan, but now it only costs 20. This copper lock costs 10 yuan, and this table is even cheaper. The owner just had to chop it up to make a fire. I paid 5 yuan." The money was collected…”
Guan Ping introduced them one by one, which made Su Xiaoqiang drool.
"And these things are still depreciating. If the prices weren't different, I would have sold them by the pound."
Zhang Bao also had a headache looking at the things in the room. The items he had collected recently were all antiques. At the beginning, he had to pay for them, but later he ran out of money. So he just kept them here without any money and saw if he could exchange them for some food.
"I can tell you two have a really good reputation!" Su Xiaoqiang somewhat admired these two boys.
"Hey, although the Pigeon Market is also called a black market, it is not black. It is a place where everyone lives." Guan Ping said with a smile.
Next, Su Xiaoqiang picked out six hundred yuan worth of antiques. Finally, Guan Ping and Zhang Bao gave three more pieces as gifts. According to them, giving two more pieces would help others share some sweet potatoes.
It is agreed that the goods will be shipped here at 12 o'clock in the evening. Someone will notify where to ship them at that time, and then the two parties will meet to trade.
After finishing the work, Su Xiaoqiang returned to the courtyard. It was already around five o'clock in the evening.
When passing by the courtyard opposite, I saw Silly Pillar beating Xu Damao inside.
Xu Damao was also interesting. He couldn't beat Silly Zhu every time, and refused to admit defeat every time. But... Silly Zhu still couldn't get over his anger after the beating, so he kicked Xu Damao in the lower body.
It was cruel enough, but it was none of his business. After nodding with Yan Bugui, Su Xiaoqiang returned to the house without even pausing.
"Uncle, look at my little schoolbag~ Mom made it for me!" When Da Ya saw Su Xiaoqiang coming back, she immediately walked around in front of Su Xiaoqiang with a bag on her back. It was obvious that she was very happy.
"Sister-in-law is very good at craftsmanship. How about we buy a sewing machine?" Looking at this simple stitched bag, it looks so beautiful. It would be amazing if there was a sewing machine.
"No, no, no, why are you spending that money? It's better to save it if you have it." Lu Baolian has discussed it with Su Daqiang. In the future, they will pay for Su Xiaoqiang's wedding. If you want to have a beautiful wedding, you can't save money.
Yao Erniang also came over and said: "If you buy a sewing machine, I will really have nothing to do at home, so nothing will happen."
"Mom, you can go fight with Mrs. Jia Zhang. I think she wants to fight you again." These days, Mrs. Jia Zhang began to walk outside gradually, and most often she hung around the door of this courtyard. It was obvious that she was really dissatisfied. .
"I don't know her the same way. As long as she doesn't do anything disgusting, I don't care about her." Yao Erniang also smiled knowingly. She gradually got used to life in the city. In fact, it was almost the same as in the countryside. Most people looked down upon her when she first came here. I am from the country, so I won't be convinced.
"I'm now worried that Da Ya will be looked down upon and bullied by her classmates at school."
Bullying... exists in every era, no matter which school you go to. If you can't bully, you will be isolated. This is why Su Xiaoqiang is so flattering to Yan Bugui. At least he can always understand what Daya is like in school.
