The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 95, Current Situation of Pigeon Market

After finishing the transaction with the old man, Li Weiguo didn't stay any longer. After a few words of warning, he carefully picked up the big box and left the courtyard.

When I walked to a deserted place, I made a thought and put a large box of treasures into the normal speed warehouse of the space. Then I released my bicycle from the space, got on the bike and rode towards the Pigeon Market outside Jianguomen.

In the pigeon market, Li Weiguo is also planning to add some supplies to the hamsters. It's the end of the year, so it doesn't matter if there are more supplies. As long as you pay attention, the Speculation Office will not make a big move at the end of the year. After all, they are also human beings and they have to celebrate the New Year.

When we arrived at Jianguomen, it was just past one o'clock, in the dead of night. Most of the surrounding residents were already asleep. Except for the cold wind and the occasional barking of dogs, the surrounding streets were silent.

This is the urban-rural fringe, and the buildings and people are not as dense as the city center, so it feels very desolate at night.

In winter in the imperial capital, the north wind blows gusts at night, making people's faces hurt.

Even though Li Weiguo was not afraid of the severe cold, he didn't want to stay outside any longer and hurried straight to the yard prepared by the hamster at Jianguomen.

When I arrived at the yard, I carefully surveyed the surroundings before opening the door and entering.

After entering the courtyard, Li Weiguo waved his hand and released all the supplies prepared in the space.

It's the end of the year, and the supplies for the hamsters have almost doubled, including one thousand kilograms of pork, one thousand kilograms of eggs, one thousand kilograms of duck eggs, one thousand kilograms of rabbit meat, three thousand kilograms of corn noodles, and three thousand kilograms of white flour.

Not long after, the hamster came over with a flashlight and six or seven brothers.

As soon as he entered the yard, the hamster shined his flashlight into the yard and was instantly stunned by the large amount of supplies.

There were a lot of supplies in the yard, with baskets stacked on top of baskets and sacks stacked on sacks. The stacks were high and quite spectacular. They were obviously much more than what was traded every week before. The hamster and the other boys were dumbfounded and didn't notice. Like a bumpkin from the world.

"What are you doing standing around, come here quickly." Li Weiguo shouted to Hamster and the others.

Only then did the hamster come back to his senses and hurried over: "Hey, Mr. Li, here he comes."

"I've been doing business for so long, and it's still as if I've never seen the world." Li Weiguo joked with a smile.

"Hey, supplies are scarce these days. If I hadn't met you, how could I have seen such a big world?"

"Okay, don't be poor, you have seen the things, one thousand catties of pork, one thousand catties of eggs, one thousand catties of duck eggs, one thousand catties of rabbit meat, three thousand catties of stick noodles, three thousand catties of white flour, how about it, eat well down?"

Upon hearing the number, the hamster became excited and nodded quickly: "Yes, that's great. Don't you know that in the recent pigeon market, all kinds of food are in short supply, especially at the end of the year? Who doesn't want to buy some good things to prepare for the New Year? Yeah. I was just about to mention this to you, but I didn’t expect you to be ready."

He had worked with Li Weiguo for so many months and earned a lot, so there was no problem in getting this batch of supplies.

And for safety reasons, he stopped doing retail work himself. Instead, he switched to wholesale. He wholesaled the materials to his trusted subordinates and let them lead the retail sales alone, so there was no problem with the sales speed.

Li Weiguo saw that he was full of confidence, so he waved his hand and asked them to quickly count the number.

The hamsters and the others were also familiar with each other, so they went directly into the house and took out the scale beam, and began to weigh and count the samples.

In about ten minutes, the hamster confirmed the approximate quantity and weight, and then began to calculate the price.

Pork, 50 cents per pound, 1,500 yuan;

Eggs, one dollar and sixty cents per pound, one thousand six hundred dollars;

Duck eggs, one piece and eight cents per catty, one thousand eight hundred yuan;

Rabbit meat, one piece weighs one pound, one thousand pieces;

Bangzi noodles, 15.1 pounds, 450 yuan

White flour, thirty-five pounds, one thousand and fifty yuan;

A total of seven thousand four hundred yuan.

Hamster was not prepared for a temporary increase in dosage, and he didn't have enough cash in his pocket, so he had to ask Li Weiguo to wait while he quickly went back to get the money.

After almost half an hour, the hamster ran back panting, still holding a satchel in his hand.

"Master Li, you've been waiting for a long time. Here are the money and tickets." As he said this, the hamster bowed and handed over the satchel in his hand.

Li Weiguo nodded and took it, opened the small satchel, and took a quick glance. There were 7 stacks of cash, each stack worth yuan, totaling yuan. The satchel was bulging.

There was also a large pile of tickets, worth four hundred yuan, which Hamster helped collect during this period.

Among them, food stamps, cigarette stamps, alcohol stamps, cloth stamps, and non-staple food stamps were the majority, with almost five to six hundred.

There are also dozens of other in-demand tickets, such as vest tickets, towel tickets, shoe tickets, kerosene tickets, coal tickets, etc.

As for other daily necessities tickets, he couldn't use them all by himself, so he didn't let the hamster collect them.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the money note, Li Weiguo nodded, slung the satchel on his shoulder, and at the same time warned: "There are a lot more supplies. Again, be careful, don't eat alone, give others some way to survive."

Nowadays, the price of pork without tickets on the black market is two yuan a pound, which is two or three cents more expensive than normal. Li Weiguo has never raised the price for Hamster and Lao Fu. He just leaves a certain profit margin for them. They deal with some trouble.

Hearing this, the hamster nodded quickly and said: "Master Li, don't worry, I understand, and I will know in advance if there is any trouble.

Times have been tough this year, and many people who have been squandering supplies can no longer do their jobs. "

This is very eye-catching in the pigeon market where fish and dragons are mixed. Therefore, whether it is raining or dew, or sharing benefits, the hamster will get a part of the benefits, so as not to make other people jealous.

Once the interests are tied together, there will be no need for someone to be jealous and make trouble, and overturn the table;

Secondly, it can also increase sales manpower. After all, thousands of kilograms of meat and eggs can easily spoil if not distributed and sold in time.

And he concentrates on being a wholesaler and hides himself on the second line, so that if there is any trouble, he can easily deal with it.

Seeing that Hamster knew what he was doing, Li Weiguo didn't say anything more. After all, Hamster was also a veteran.

After the transaction, Li Weiguo left directly, leaving Hamster and the others waiting in the courtyard to deal with supplies.

The hamster's subordinates looked at this large amount of supplies and almost drooled. It's the end of the year, and who doesn't want to bring something back home to improve their life.

On weekdays, even if they make money, they don't dare to blatantly bring things back to the yard to enjoy, for fear of making others jealous. But there is no need to be afraid at the end of the year. Every household will buy some good things more or less.

Looking at the appearance of a group of brothers, the hamster smiled and said: "Okay, wipe your saliva quickly, and give priority to supplying supplies to your brothers. Everyone has a good year. For the rest, let's hurry up and disperse to avoid smashing our hands. It’s in.”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this: "Thank you, Brother Shu."
