Siheyuan: How many worlds does the system integrate?

Chapter 44 3 The old man is very cunning

Li Xuewu smiled and picked up Chen Yuqing.

"Mom has reported you!"

"Mom is bad!" Chen Yuqing said in a baby voice.

Chen Xueru took Xiao Yuqing with a smile: "You are such a heartless little thing."

Then he said to Li Xuewu, "I went to the supply and marketing cooperative today and bought some vegetables. There is still very little meat and eggs in the store. I will ask someone to go to the black market to buy some tonight. Qingqing's milk powder is out of stock. I don't know if I can buy some."

"Don't bother me. I'll go to the black market tonight and ask someone to buy some milk powder for me. Come on, Qingqing, look at this." As he spoke, he took out a big bag of milk powder from his bag. Little Qingqing stretched out her hands and held the milk powder in her arms, smiling.

"I'm bothering your friend again! It's all thanks to him over the past two years, otherwise Yuqing would have suffered! How about we treat him to a meal one day!" Chen Xueru said.

"Okay, I'll go to the countryside in a couple of days and see if I can ask Da Zhuang to get some game, so that it will be more presentable when we treat our guests. These radishes and cabbages are really not good enough." Li Xuewu replied.

Li Xuewu has made some friends in the past three years, mainly inside the steel rolling mill, including the logistics director Li Huaide. Although Li Xuewu is just an ordinary worker in a workshop, he got to know Li Huaide through Sha Zhu, who helped him solve several unplanned material procurement problems. After that, they became friends, and with Li Xuewu's deliberate flattery, the two have become good friends.

In addition to being a welder, Li Xuewu also works part-time as a non-staff purchaser in logistics, and Li Huaide will try his best to help with anything he can, such as milk powder and other supplies that are not available on the market. This also allows Li Xuewu to have a source for the things he buys from the system mall. Basically, they are all things that Li Huaide got a little bit at a time, and Li Xuewu buys some more in large quantities from the mall himself, and the accounts are all charged to Li Huaide, so that when someone asks about it, the accounts can be matched, just the amounts are different.

"I think you are thinking about your little lover!" Chen Xueru said with a pout.

Li Xuewu stepped forward and hugged Chen Xueru's plump waist from behind: "Why are you jealous?"

"Tsk! Why should I be jealous!" Although she said this, Chen Xueru still felt a little jealous. She had given birth to a daughter for him, but this guy was still having affairs outside. However, thinking about the age difference between them and the secular perspective, she soon became discouraged: "The girl from the Qin family is already sixteen years old!"

"Well, it's sixteen!"

"You can get married in two years! The girl is still young, so don't do anything stupid!" Chen Xueru reminded.

"Don't worry, I know. We're just going to get some wild game!" Although there was no protection law in that era, Li Xuewu believed that although he was not a good person, he was not a beast either, and would not attack Qin Jingru, who was of this age.

After the family of three finished dinner, Li Xuewu packed up, put on a black windbreaker, a hat, and a scarf: "I'm going, you keep the door open for me!"

Chen Xueru nodded: "Well, then you should be careful!"

"understood!"

After walking for about 20 minutes, we arrived at a small alley near the shore of Houhai. There was someone guarding the entrance to the alley, and the door was also tightly sealed: "One cent for admission!"

Li Xuewu didn't say anything. He just paid ten cents and walked in.

Under the dim light in the small alley, two rows of stalls are closely packed together against the walls on both sides.

Some sell antiques and paintings, some sell jewelry. These should be the elderly or wealthy people who can no longer make ends meet and are selling off some valuable items at home. There are more people selling grains. Many of the small stalls sell fine grains, which should be the grains that people have saved and are planning to buy in exchange for coarse grains.

There are coarse grain stalls but not many. However, they sell large quantities. However, those who can produce so much coarse grains are not simple figures. They must have connections with the black market managers, and most of the coarse grains are also sold by the black market managers.

Li Xuewu walked around, mainly looking at antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as gold and silver jewelry. He could buy food in the system mall, so there was no need to spend money to buy it. He walked around and came to the middle of the alley. There was a stall with a few fish. They were not big, probably a little over one kilogram. After taking a closer look at the person setting up the stall, Li Xuewu smiled. Hey, isn't this Uncle Sanye!

Li Xuewu pushed down the brim of his hat, wrapped himself in his windbreaker and walked forward. Without saying anything, he pointed at the fish on the ground.

When Yan Fugui saw someone approaching him, his eyes lit up and he whispered, "One dollar per pound, no bargaining!"

In a word, expensive. Really damn expensive!

In previous years, fish meat was only about 30 or 40 cents per pound, but now it has more than doubled. If it were alive, I could have kept it for a few more days, but now it is a dead fish, I have to eat it as soon as I get it home. It is not worth it to pickle and dry three or five fish.

But then he thought that the whole family was supported by the salary of the third uncle alone, and he had suffered a lot in the past three years. It was estimated that the small treasury he had saved before was almost built up. He was reluctant to eat the fish himself, so he sold them. So Li Xuewu nodded and signaled Yan Fugui to pack up all the fish.

Seeing that a big customer had come and bought all his fish at once, Yan Fugui was very surprised. He took out a small scale from behind him like a magic trick, put the fish in a bag and hung it on the hook of the scale. When weighing, Li Xuewu obviously noticed that the old man's little finger was pressing on the scale bar.

The five fish together weighed less than eight or nine kilograms, but the uncle managed to get them to ten kilograms.

"Ten pounds is one ounce. I'll charge you ten pounds and ten dollars!" The third uncle pretended to be generous.

Li Xuewu was too lazy to argue with the third uncle, so he readily took out ten yuan and handed it over, then walked deeper into the alley with the bag in his hand. Yan Fugui quickly tidied up the rags on the ground, took the money and went straight to the grain stall.

After wandering around in the black market for about an hour, Li Xuewu bought a set of purple clay tea sets, a gilded hairpin, and a jade bracelet, which cost him a total of 380 yuan. Li Xuewu didn't like any of the other items. Seeing that there were no other good things and it was almost time, he walked out of the black market alley.

He strolled along the wall, found a dark alley without street lights and slipped into it. He first put the things he bought into the system package, then took out his pistol and waited quietly against the wall of the alley. It was not that Li Xuewu was timid. This was the procedure he had to do every time he bought something on the black market, for fear of being targeted by some people.

There was an incident before, when he spent a lot of money to buy a Ming blue and white porcelain vase on the black market, and as a result, he was targeted by someone, who followed him for two blocks before Li Xuewu realized that the other party was about to attack him. Li Xuewu suddenly pulled out his gun and pointed it at the other party's forehead, thus escaping the danger. After that, every time Li Xuewu went out, he would find a remote place to hide for ten or twenty minutes to see if anyone was following him.

This time, no one was blinded.

Twenty minutes later, Li Xuewu quietly came out of the alley, walked around the street a few times before going home.

When he arrived at the door, he took out the five fish from the system package, and bought thirty eggs, two kilograms of pork, twenty kilograms of flour, and thirty kilograms of corn flour from the system mall. He put them all in a sack, put it on his back, and gently pushed the door open and walked in.

Chen Xueru was not sleeping in the room, but was sitting on the sofa waiting for him. When she saw Li Xuewu pushing the door in, she quickly put down the work in her hands and stood up to greet him.
