"Two hundred yuan, just take it away."
After hearing the price quoted by the woman, Li Shiqiang finally understood why there was no one in front of her.
Who wouldn’t leave after hearing the price of two hundred yuan?
Although the things in the black market are indeed more expensive than those in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the three major items are also hard to find, it is not like a watch can be sold for two hundred yuan!
And this watch is not brand new, it is equivalent to second-hand goods, and it can be sold at such an expensive price.
"Brother, I didn't lie to you. The price of this watch is one hundred and sixty yuan. Plus the ticket price, it's not too expensive for me to sell it for two hundred yuan, right?"
After saying this, the woman also deliberately explained: "If something hadn't happened in my house, I wouldn't have planned to sell the watch."
Li Shiqiang was about to speak, but found that his arm was pulled hard.
He looked back and saw Xu Sheng, who had finished shopping, shaking his head at him.
It seems that he also heard the price of the watch at two hundred yuan.
It seemed that the woman selling the watch didn't expect Li Shiqiang to buy the gem flower watch. After seeing Xu Sheng's actions, she stood a few steps further away in a direct and straightforward manner.
"Two hundred yuan to buy a watch, are you crazy?"
After Xu Sheng shouted in disbelief, he hurriedly pulled him away.
"I've already spent more than 20 yuan to buy these food. I'm already so distressed. You still want to spend 200 yuan? Let's go, let's go."
Seeing how Xu Sheng was so worried about money, Li Shiqiang hurriedly explained to him: "I just asked about the price, but I didn't really want to buy it."
"As long as you don't really want to buy it."
Xu Sheng sighed and said, "I know that the Huang family asked you to buy three big things, but even if you want to buy it, you have to buy a new one. After all, you are a newlywed, and you can't buy second-hand things."
Li Shiqiang listened to what Xu Sheng said and felt that it made some sense. He nodded and said, "Well, I won't rush to buy it on the black market first. I'll see if I can find someone to get the ticket through my connections."
When it comes to finding someone to get tickets, the only thing he can think of is Uncle Zhou who asked him to buy whips before.
Uncle Zhou works at the county police bureau, so he might be able to get tickets through some connections.
"Okay, let's see if there's anything else we want to buy. If not, we'll go back."
Xu Sheng put the purchased items on the cart and prepared to continue shopping with Li Shiqiang.
But before the two of them took two steps, they saw a familiar figure running over.
"Oops! I finally found you, my brother." The uncle, a worker who had just encountered a bike thief in the black market, had already pushed his bicycle over and shouted to Li Shiqiang with enthusiasm.
Seeing the uncle's hurried look, Li Shiqiang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Brother, I told you it's okay, why are you still looking for me?"
"What do you mean it's okay? If you hadn't stopped me just now, maybe the bike thief would have taken my bike away."
The uncle stood next to Li Shiqiang with an excited expression, patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "No matter what, I want to treat you to a meal today. Thank you."
"Oh, no, no, big brother! It's just a matter of convenience!"
"It's such a convenient thing, then why can't others do it smoothly? No way, you must let me entertain you today."
"Let's go, let's go, it's almost time for dinner, I'll take you to a restaurant!"
No matter how Li Shiqiang refused, the worker uncle insisted on inviting them to a restaurant.
After pushing back and forth several times, Li Shiqiang couldn't continue to refuse. He could only nod and agree: "Okay, then thank you brother for inviting us to a restaurant."
"What the hell, it's me who should thank you for helping me stop that car thief!"
The three of them talked to each other all the way, and after walking out of the black market, they arrived at a restaurant.
As soon as he entered the restaurant, the worker uncle immediately took out his money and food stamps and ordered the dishes very generously.
When the food was on the table, the uncle immediately greeted him: "Quick, you're welcome. Eat whatever you want to eat quickly."
Li Shiqiang and Xu Sheng looked at each other, looked at the table with some embarrassment and said: "Brother, even if you invite us to dinner, you won't order so many dishes, right? The three of us can't finish it!"
On the square table, there were six dishes and one soup, four meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes, neatly arranged. One of the meat dishes was a braised pork elbow.
The uncle smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. If you can't finish it, I'll pack it up and take it back to the people in the house."
It turns out that the worker uncle wanted to bring some delicious food to his family.
Li Shiqiang nodded, and then said: "We should come later, let the eldest brother invite the family to eat together."
"Hahaha, no, no!"
After the uncle said with a smile, he sighed again and said: "You don't know, since my bicycle was stolen, my mother-in-law really scolded me when she saw it, and she didn't even let me enter the house at night. She took advantage of this. I found it with my bicycle, it would be nice to have a clean meal with you!"
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then we won't be polite."
After listening to the uncle's experience, Li Shiqiang and Xu Sheng also used their chopsticks with peace of mind.
However, while the three of them were chatting while eating, the uncle casually asked them what they came to the black market to buy.
After Xu Shenggang finished saying that he was buying something for his sister, he suddenly noticed the blue overalls on his uncle and rolled his eyes: "Brother, I am buying something for my sister, but the second baby is going to buy gifts on the black market."
The uncle was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "Buying a bride price? What kind of gift?"
"Watches, sewing machines, and bicycles."
"Ah, weddings are becoming a big deal in your village, right?"
Listening to the uncle's exclamation, Xu Sheng quickly asked: "Brother, did you also have these three important things when you got married?"
"No no."
The uncle shook his head with a smile and explained: "I just bought a big item, the stolen bicycle."
"Hahaha, no wonder my sister-in-law is so angry!"
After Xu Sheng said that, he poked his head and asked, "Brother, where did you get the ticket to buy the bicycle? Can you get one for the second baby?"
"Bicycle ticket?"
The uncle was stunned again, turned to look at Li Shiqiang and said, "Do you really want to buy three big things for your wedding?"
Li Shiqiang naturally heard the meaning of his uncle's voice, nodded and replied: "Brother, although these three big items are expensive, after you get married, they are considered to be bought for your own family, so you won't lose anything."
"Haha, you kid is quite reasonable!"
After sighing, the uncle responded with a smile: "If you want other tickets, I can't tell you, but as for bicycle tickets, I can help you get one."
"Really? Brother!"
He didn't expect to be able to get a bicycle ticket so quickly, and Li Shiqiang couldn't help but look forward to it.
