That night, Wang Yaozu stewed a pheasant, had a full meal, and slept well.
At around five o'clock in the morning, Wang Yaozu was woken up by the low temperature in the room. At this time, the temperature outside reached 123 degrees below zero. After the brazier was extinguished, the temperature in the house also reached around 56 degrees below zero.
"Oh my God, it's too cold. Go sell the pheasants quickly and get some coal for heating, otherwise you won't be able to survive this day!"
"If the temperature drops in a few days, don't freeze me to death here!"
Wang Yaozu muttered, picked up the cotton coat, and quickly put it on.
"Oh my god, it's cold!"
After getting dressed, Wang Yaozu put on his shoes and went straight to the kitchen. He opened the rice vat and noodle vat at home and took a look. When he saw that the two vats were empty, he was instantly desperate.
He can be considered a serious protagonist at the beginning, with his family in ruins, both parents dead, and a situation where he has to cry every time a mouse comes in and walks around.
After covering the rice vat, Wang Yaozu sighed and focused on the two pheasants in the corner.
The price of pheasants in the market is about one yuan to one yuan and three kilograms. He can sell these two pheasants for six or seven yuan. With some money, he can fill the rice and noodle tanks. He can't get up in the morning without even a mouthful of rice. eat.
This is too poor!
Coal, grain, vegetables... To put it bluntly, we are still short of money!
So poor!
Wang Yaozu carried two pheasants out and walked towards the market. He had to sell the pheasants for money.
As soon as Wang Yaozu walked to the door, he accidentally met Yi Zhonghai who was coming back from the hospital.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Wang Yaozu coming out with two pheasants, he instantly understood his purpose. Wang Yaozu wanted to exchange the pheasants for money.
Since you want to sell money, I will teach you how to make money from money, and then lose all the money.
"Hey, Wang Yaozu, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Yi Zhonghai asked with a smile.
Wang Yaozu picked up the pheasant in his hand and said with a smile: "Go and sell the pheasant to pay back some money, buy some coal and grain, and make a living!" '
Yi Zhonghai smiled and said: "You are going to the market, and I will go too. Let me go with you!" '
"Okay! Let's do it together then!" Wang Yaozu did not refuse. He even expected Yi Zhonghai to persuade him quickly and let him get some rewards to change the current predicament.
His life now is really difficult.
The Hongxing Market is about three kilometers away from the Siheyuan. Wang Yaozu walked briskly and spent nearly fifteen minutes walking there.
Even in winter, this fireworks-filled market opens at 4:30 in the morning, with rows of vendors lined up on both sides of the street!
Steamed buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, small tofu, dumplings, stewed meatballs...all kinds of snacks made Wang Yaozu's mouth water.
It is hard to imagine that the morning market in May 1st was similar to the morning market in 2003. This scene really shocked Wang Yaozu.
He really wanted to sit in front of the steamed bun stall, order two delicious meat buns, and take a big bite. He had only eaten one meal since yesterday morning.
"Young man, do you want to sell the pheasant in your hand?" A woman in her fifties patted Wang Yaozu on the shoulder, pointed to the pheasant in his hand, and asked.
"Sell! Sell! Sell!" Wang Yaozu responded repeatedly.
Pheasant is as popular as pork, hare, and chicken in the market because it is meat.
"How much does it cost per pound?"
"Three lines for one piece? I just got it yesterday!" Wang Yaozu asked.
Although the market price is this price, most people will bargain. Some people may offer one yuan or two, or one yuan.
Of course, Wang Yaozu would not sell it to him for one dollar. It would be better to take it back and eat it himself.
The woman nodded and said, "Okay, just three for one dollar. It's not easy to hunt two pheasants in such heavy snow!"
"Weigh it!"
The woman took out the scale she brought with her from her pocket and hung the two pheasants on it to weigh them.
"Oh, these two pheasants weigh quite a lot, seven pounds and six taels!"
"Young man, I'll give it to you based on eight catties, one dollar and three to one catty. For eight catties, I'll give you ten dollars and four cents!"
The woman took out a large black card from her pocket, carrying four cents in change.
Wang Yaozu smiled and said: "Auntie, just give me ten yuan. You rounded it up for me so openly. If I don't give you a zero, I won't feel sorry for myself!"
The woman glanced at Wang Yaozu and said with a smile: "Keke, there are not many practical young people like you. Okay, I'll give you ten yuan!"
"Thank you, young man!"
Wang Yaozu smiled and said: "Auntie, I should be the one thanking you!" '
After Wang Yaozu exchanged polite words with the other party, he put the Big Black Ten in his pocket and prepared to find a breakfast stall to eat.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai came over,
"Wang Yaozu, do you want to make a fortune instantly?" Yi Zhonghai whispered in Wang Yaozu's ear.
Wang Yaozu swallowed, subconsciously took a step back and said, "Don't teach me bad things, I'm not into pornography and gambling!"
Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes at Wang Yaozu, pulled him aside, and whispered: "Where are you thinking? I mean, if you want to make a fortune, you can go to the antique street next door!"
"Yan Bugui's bicycle was bought from the real thing in the antique street next door, and he bought the bicycle and radio after selling it!"
Wang Yaozu sounded a little moved. He tilted his neck and looked at Yi Zhonghai and said with a smile: "I'm quite moved, but I don't understand antiques!"
Yi Zhonghai patted his chest and said confidently: "I understand, if you go shopping with me for antiques, I have a 30% chance of making you rich!"
[Ding~ I received a suggestion: Go buy antiques with Yi Zhonghai. The task reward: a gold bar. 】
Seeing that the system had released a task, Wang Yaozu's eyes immediately lit up.
A gold bar can be exchanged for a lot of money, which just solves his temporary lack of money problem.
Wang Yaozu asked back: "If you don't go by yourself for such a good thing, and you ask me to go, do you really think I'm stupid?"
Yi Zhonghai gave a stern face and said: "You kid, why don't you listen to my good words? Can't I make money to support my family? Aren't you short of money now? You should take a gamble!"
After hesitating for a while, Wang Yaozu nodded heavily and said: "Indeed, I really should take a gamble, I need money!"
"Okay, I'll go with you! It's just Uncle Yi, if I make money, do I need to pay you any handling fees?"
Wang Yaozu looked at Yi Zhonghai with a sincere face, as if he had really bought a real thing in the next second.
Seeing Wang Yaozu's expression, Yi Zhonghai almost laughed out loud. Do you dare to believe in antiques? If you dare to believe it, you will lose all your underwear if I was deceived.
After being scolded by Wang Yaozu, Yi Zhonghai thought that Wang Yaozu had changed. After a long time, he was still as stupid as before.
Let you scold me!
I'll give you all the ten dollars in one go, let me see what you do!
I made you not even have food to eat and starved to death at home, you damn orphan!
When you die, I will occupy your house and eat your life!
Yi Zhonghai smiled and said: "If it were anyone else, I would charge a 30% commission. If I take you there, I won't charge a penny!"
"Really?" Wang Yaozu's eyes lit up!
"Of course, as a gentleman says, a horse is hard to catch. If you say you don't want money, you don't want money!"
"Uncle Yi, you are so open-minded, let's go!"
"Okay, let's go!"
