Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy

Exchanging money for money is not attractive in such difficult times. He wants to exchange it for food, and preferably coarse grains, so that their family will not be short of food. Although the food will be worse, at least they can have food to eat.

After this period of time, Yan Fugui overturned all his stupid ideas from the previous period through careful observation and thinking.

Now he understood that food was the most important thing. In difficult times like these, food was life, and money was not so important.

He felt very ashamed and guilty about his previous foolish thoughts. At that time, he still wanted to exchange the grain for money, but he didn't take any action and no major disaster occurred.

The current situation shows that having food in hand is the most reassuring thing, because through observation and investigation, he knows that the drought is still continuing.

If this continues, autumn crops will also be affected, and that would be a real problem.

The production of summer and autumn crops has been declining continuously, and the grain ration standard will be lowered in due course. These rations are barely enough to eat now. If they continue to be lowered, people will starve. He dare not even imagine the worst case scenario.

Because he is of such an old age and has experienced natural disasters, he knows how tragic the scene is.

It has only been more than a decade since 1942, but he still has a vivid memory of that year.

Although he had not experienced it personally, he could not forget the scenes described by many people who fled famine from Henan to Beijing.

Eating grass, grass roots, leaves, tree bark, tree roots, eating Guanyin soil, selling children, daughters, and wives, just hearing about it makes me shudder.

The current drought may be even worse than that time, so he was very upset about his previous childish and stupid ideas and wanted to slap himself a few times.

It was all because he usually thought of himself as an educated and cultured person, and secretly looked down on these peasants in the compound. As a result, he was not as far-sighted and well prepared as the people in the Jia family.

The people of the Jia family prepared food early on, and they were willing to spend a lot of money. They took out most of their family savings to buy food in advance. It can be said that they were brave, resourceful and far-sighted.

However, Yan Fugui was short-sighted and looked down on others. He was really arrogant.

However, Yan Fugui's advantage is that he knows how to correct his mistakes, so now he attaches great importance to food.

Of course he wanted to eat meat, and he wanted to eat it a lot, but he knew that food was more important. One pound of meat could be exchanged for more than ten pounds of coarse grains, and thirty to forty pounds of sweet potatoes. So of course he chose to exchange it for food.

However, due to the current situation, most people subconsciously value food, and it is not as easy to exchange meat coupons for food as before.

The most important thing is that the black market is becoming less and less safe. On the one hand, it is because of the shortage of supplies and the chaos in the black market. In addition, the government’s control over the black market is becoming more and more strict and the crackdown on the black market is becoming more and more severe. As a result, Yan Fugui is now unwilling to go to the black market easily.

So now that he heard that Zhang Jialiang had become a buyer in the third purchasing department of the steel rolling mill, he wanted to exchange the meat tickets in his hand through Zhang Jialiang.

"Third Master, I can exchange it. I won't hide it from you. The price is definitely not as high as in the black market, but I can provide some other precious bills for equivalent exchange.

If you are willing, then we can exchange. If you are not willing, I can’t do anything about it.”

Zhang Jialiang did not lie. The prices of all materials traded in the black market are the highest. This is easy to understand. If not, who would go to the black market? The black market would have ceased to exist long ago. However, there are risks in going to the black market after all.

Buyers like Zhang Jialiang target those people who have demand but are unwilling to take the risk of going to the black market or are too far away to go to the black market.

For example, it is not so convenient for farmers in the rural areas of the commune to trade in the black market, but Yan Fugui is not sure about this.

Yan Fugui should be very familiar with the prices on the black market, and it is not that troublesome for him to go to the black market. If he exchanges coarse grains from himself, he will suffer a loss, and Yan Fugui will not do anything that will cause him a loss.

"I know everything you said. You have cloth coupons, right? Can I exchange my meat coupons for your cloth coupons?"

"Row!"

Although Zhang Jialiang was surprised that Yan Fugui agreed, he didn't know the reason, but it didn't affect the transaction between the two. He soon exchanged the cloth coupons for the meat coupons in Yan Fugui's hands.

"Liangzi, you now have a job, which is a great joy. How about setting up a table and letting the people in the hospital celebrate for you?"

After the two men finished the transaction, Yan Fugui couldn't help it. According to his old habit, he wanted to have a good meal. He wanted Zhang Jialiang to treat him to a meal in the name of celebrating finding a job.

"Forget it, what's the situation of Uncle Sanye now? Where can he get the food to treat people to a meal?

Now when I go hunting, I can’t even see any animal hair. If I hadn’t found such a temporary job by chance, I really don’t know what I would do.”

Zhang Jialiang was still a little unhappy after hearing what Yan Fugui said. It was already this late, who would treat him to a meal?

According to the current situation, it is good enough for his family to have food to eat. Yan Fugui is really taking advantage of others and does not even consider the actual situation, so he directly refused.

In the evening, Zhang Jialiang agreed to drink with Xu Damao. In this situation, although there is meat stewed by Fifth Sister at home, it is obviously not appropriate to take it out now.

So Zhang Jialiang prepared three dishes, one plate of fried peanuts, one plate of smashed cucumbers, and one plate of mixed beans, all of which are cold dishes. Now it is summer, these dishes are more suitable for drinking.

Zhang Jialiang naturally had no shortage of vegetables, because in the space, although some of the vegetable seeds he sowed did not germinate successfully, quite a few seeds still germinated and grew.

Since Zhang Jialiang sowed a lot of seeds, this amount of vegetables was enough for his family to eat.

There are quite a few kinds of vegetables, including eggplants, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, and many other kinds. There are so many vegetables that you can't finish them all.

Zhang Jialiang also tried to pick some and trade them in the pigeon market and the black market. The results seemed quite good and he made a lot of money in return. It was really an unexpected success. He didn't really expect much from these randomly scattered seeds.

Not only vegetables, but some grain crops also grew. However, since these crops were not concentrated but scattered everywhere in the space, it was difficult to collect them. Besides, Zhang Jialiang had no intention of collecting these grains, so they all fell into the hands of various animals in the space.

But the good thing is that all the animals in the space have grown fat and strong because of these food crops, which has also increased Zhang Jialiang's income in disguise, which makes him very satisfied.
