Me! The dark horse of the Siheyuan, my wife Chen Xueru

Later, many state-owned enterprises went bankrupt, which was one of the reasons.

By then, it would be useless even if Chen Xueru managed the business well and earned more money than ordinary workers.

Because tickets were about to be issued, snacks and all other supplies were distributed based on the number of people. Even if you had money, it would not be easy to get food.

Therefore, Xu Huizhen, Chen Xueru and others, even though they are enjoying good fortune now, it is possible that they will starve in the future.

Take their wedding banquet for example, if they still hold such a grand banquet after the tickets are issued, it will be dangerous and the inspection team will come to arrest people.

Besides, Yang Muzi and Chen Xueru are married, and it is impossible for them to live alone in the future. They will have children, and the children’s food will also be a problem.

There are also Niu Youde, Sun Tiezhu, Xu Huizhen and others. Yang Muzi can't just watch them starve.

Therefore, it is very necessary to stockpile some food and daily necessities before the tickets are issued.

Whether or not he made money was another matter, but at least he could ensure that the people around him would not go hungry. After leaving the courtyard, Yang Muzi went straight to the grain store in front of the gate.

Xu Huizhen's shop was located near Qianmen. The place Yang Muzi wanted to go was a place called Li Ji Grain Shop, which was a few streets away from Xu Huizhen's shop.

When they were almost at the grain store, Yang Muzi reached out to stop a rickshaw.

"Boss, what can I do for you?"

The man on the three-wheeled bicycle had a strange look on his face. Yang Muzi was clearly riding a bicycle and didn't come over to stop him.

Yang Muzi: "Is it heavy? From where to where?" Luobo frowned and asked.

People generally don't like to pull things that are too heavy. Who would use a human-powered tricycle for light things?

Yang Muzi smiled and said, "The stuff is quite heavy. We pulled it from Li Ji's grain shop to ** Siheyuan on Gulou East Street."

Lettuce nodded: "If the item is heavy, you have to pay double the price, 40 cents."

"Okay, follow me!"

"By the way, Master, how long have you been doing this? Do you know all the people in the city?"

Rapeseed: "I have been doing this for more than ten years. I know most of the rats in Changping, not to mention the rats in the city."

Yang Muzi's mind moved: "Then do you know a guy named Cai Quanwu?"

"Oh, forgive my ignorance, I dare not say that there is no such person as Cai Quanwu in Lettuce. Even if there is, he is a newcomer."

"Okay, Master, please help me find out. If you can help me find this person, please come to the ** Siheyuan in Nanluoguxiang to find me, and I will give you two dollars."

"Okay!"

Yang Muzi frowned secretly. It seemed that Cai Quanwu had probably not started to do anything to offend him yet.

He and Xu Huizhen first met in 55, three years later.

He doesn't know what Cai Quanwu is doing now.

Soon, Yang Muzi brought Master Luobo to the grain store, asked Master Luobo to wait outside, and he went in himself.

"Hello, comrade. Would you like to buy some food?" The shop assistant came up to me with a smile.

At that time, the grain shop was still a private business and treated customers very politely.

After the public-private partnership, the employees in those enterprises were treated like uncles. Not to mention being polite to customers, if they didn't scold you, it would be considered polite if you treated them like your grandson.

Later, many state-owned enterprises went bankrupt, and of course, this was also due to the contributions of these people.

"Well, is your shopkeeper here...?" "Yes, yes, yes, please wait a moment, I'll go call him right away."

The young man ran over attentively, looking for the shopkeeper, and it must be a big deal.

Soon, Shopkeeper Li came out with a smile: "Boss, are you looking to sell grain?"

"Yes!"

Yang Muzi asked, "What's the price of your wheat?"

Shopkeeper Li: "15 cents for wheat."

"Where's the flour?" "Flour is 20 cents." "Where's the rice?" "Rice is also 20 cents."

"Um!"

Yang Muzi nodded slightly. The price of food at this time was higher than in the following years.

The reason is very simple. Food control is strict nowadays, and prices are also controlled strictly.

"Manager Li, it's like this, our family is also in business, we have many people working under us, and we consume a lot of food.

So, I would like to ask if the price can be cheaper when I buy food from you in the future."

Shopkeeper Li thought for a moment and said, "I can give you a 10% discount, but there is a quantity requirement. You must have bought grain here three times, or the amount you bought is over 1,000 kilograms, before you can get a 10% discount."

Shopkeeper Li is not a fool. If Yang Muzi never comes back to buy something after buying it once, it would not be cost-effective.

"Okay, I want flour."

Yangmuzi has a system space, where things can be kept warm permanently without freezing.

Even if you put a bowl of hot water in it and take it out a hundred years later, it will still be hot.

Because time stands still inside, you can just buy flour and put it in without worrying about it going bad.

"Okay, how much do you want?" asked the shopkeeper Li. Yang Muzi: "Can we barter? Yellow goods."

Boss Li: "Barter is not an option. If it's yellow stuff, I'll take as much as you have."

At this time, gold is a hard currency, so there is no reason for him not to have it. That's good.

Yang Muzi casually took out a small yellow croaker and asked: "How much flour can this be exchanged for?"

Shopkeeper Li calculated and said with a smile: "Small yellow croaker, equivalent to fifty in cash, can be exchanged for two hundred and fifty kilograms of flour."

cost-effective.

Yang Muzi nodded secretly. The small yellow croaker weighs a little more than three grams, so one gram can be exchanged for seventeen or eighteen yuan.

If in a few years, after the tickets are issued, one gram of gold can be exchanged for a maximum of six yuan.

The best thing to do is to sell the gold as quickly as possible. Of course, it cannot all be used to buy food.

Yang Muzi took out another small yellow croaker and said, "For these two fish, you can exchange them for 150 kilograms of flour and 250 kilograms of rice."

"Okay, I'll weigh it for you right away. Xiao Cai, come over and help!" "I'm coming!"

At this time, a coolie with a white towel on his shoulder ran in and started to help weigh the food.

"Uncle He?" Yang Muzi's eyes were attracted by that man.

This man looks almost the same as He Daqing, except that he is not that old. He looks only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

It's him.

Cai has none.

After searching for a long time, he finally found it without any effort. Yang Muzi never imagined that Cai Quanwu was working as a laborer in a grain store at that time.

Yang Muzi didn't say anything, just looked him up and down. Cai Quanwu worked very quickly and was very energetic. In a short while, 500 kilograms of grain were weighed.

"Boss, are you loading your grain onto the truck now?" Cai Quanwu ran over with a simple smile on his face.

Yang Muzi nodded and pointed to the door: "The car is at the door, load it."

"Hey hey hey~~~"

Cai Quanwu carried a bag of flour and quickly loaded it onto the tricycle. In a short time, all 500 kilograms of food were loaded.

The lettuce neck's expression was extremely ugly: "Boss, this thing of yours is really very heavy."

Yang Muzi waved his hand and said, "I'll give you an extra ten cents, fifty cents."

"Okay, thank you!" Lettuce smiled immediately.

Yang Muzi ordered: "Go to East Street first. I have something else to do. I will catch up with you later."

"Okay!"

Luobo rode away on his human-powered tricycle. Yang Muzi walked towards the grain store.

At this time, Shopkeeper Li waved his hand and called Cai Quanwu to his front: "Xiao Cai, this thirty cents is your wages. Don't come here again in the future."

"Boss, I did nothing wrong!" Cai Quanwu was slightly angry.

Shopkeeper Li shook his head and said, "No, I know you are a good person, but my brother-in-law can't tolerate you."

"Okay, I understand. Sorry for meddling in other people's business. Goodbye!"

After taking the money, Cai Quanwu turned around and walked out, and Yang Muzi hurriedly followed him.

He walked very quickly and soon came to an empty corner, squatted on the ground, covered his face and wiped his tears.

At present, he works as a laborer and earns money working for Manager Li, which is one of the main sources of income.

Without this job, I will have to live without food again.

"Hey~~~"

Yang Muzi sighed and walked towards Cai Quanwu.

When I think back to when I was a coolie, I was no different from Cai Quanwu.

When he saw Cai Quanwu, he thought of his past self. "Your name is Cai Quanwu, right?" Yang Muzi walked over and spoke lightly.

Cai Quanwu was shocked when he heard this, wiped his tears, and looked up at Yang Muzi: "Who are you?"

"Don't worry about who I am. You are a grown man, why are you crying on the street? Tell me what difficulties you have encountered, maybe I can help you." Yang Muzi said.

"You... help me?"

Cai Quanwu couldn't help but be alert. A stranger suddenly wanted to help him, so of course he was wary.

"Is your father's surname He?" "How do you know?" Cai Quanwu was a little surprised.

Yang Muzi: "I know your family. You may not know me, but I know you."

"What's your name?" Cai Quanwu let down his guard. Yang Muzi: "My last name is Yang, Yang Muzi." "What do you want me to do?" Cai Quanwu appears to be simple-minded, but in fact he is smarter than anyone else.

Yang Muzi nodded. This kind of person is very shrewd. If both parties cannot communicate on the basis of trust, it will be difficult.

"You have an older brother, He Daqing, did you know that?" Yang Muzi went straight to the point.

"I know!" Cai Quanwu nodded.

He was relatively young and had a half-brother who knew about it; his father had told him.

"I am your brother's friend, and your brother has been looking for you. I can take you to find your brother."

"My brother is willing to acknowledge me as his younger brother." Cai Quanwu was a little surprised.

He knew he had a brother, but he never thought about looking for him.

Because he knew that it was his mother who abducted his father, and the brother he had never met must be very upset about this matter.

"Of course." Yang Muzi nodded: "Are you willing to see your brother?" "I do."

Cai Quanwu's eyes were red. He had been working hard alone and was used to having few meals a day. Suddenly a brother came to find him, so of course he was willing to accept him.

"But, I am too embarrassed to see my brother like this..."

Cai Quanwu shed no tears. He was like a beggar now. What if he saw his brother? Did he want his brother to help him?

Yang Muzi smiled: "Cai Quanwu, I know what you think. You feel that you are doing badly now and you are too embarrassed to see your brother, right?"

"That's right!" "I have a way." Cai Quanwu: "What do you want to say?"

Yang Muzi: "Your brother and I live in the same courtyard and have a very good relationship. Your brother wants to find you, but you feel ashamed to see him like this, right?"

"Not bad!" Cai Quanwu nodded.

He wanted to recognize his brother, but he didn't want to rely on him. "I can help you."

"help me?"

"Yes."
