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

After agreeing on the price, Zhang Jialiang didn't say anything more. He said he was going to get some food, and acted as if he had accomplices outside.

Being vague and true and keeping secrets is the correct behavior. If this guy has bad intentions, at least he will be cautious.

Zhang Jialiang went outside for a walk, took out 45 kilograms of corn flour and 15 kilograms of white flour, brought them back here, and quickly completed the transaction.

After carrying the big box for a distance, Zhang Jialiang put the box into the storage space and soon returned to the courtyard.

Through this transaction, Zhang Jialiang discovered his own shortcomings. He had indeed thought too simply before, thinking that finding people in the black market as middlemen to collect antiques would be convenient, time-saving and labor-saving.

But now that the problem of collection channels has been solved, a new problem has arisen, which is how to distinguish the authenticity of antiques. This is now the primary difficulty he faces.

Learning to collect antiques is not something that can be accomplished overnight. After more than a year of study, Zhang Jialiang is still only a novice. It seems that he needs to find someone who is experienced in identifying antiques.

There should be quite a few such people in the capital. As long as you ask carefully, you can still find the right one.

While Zhang Jialiang was busy with his own affairs, a wave of undercurrents began to surge in the compound.

After urgent private connections, everyone gathered in the Central Courtyard tonight.

Since this behavior was shameful, there was no formal meeting of the whole courtyard. Instead, families that were interested in participating were asked to send one person to gather in the middle courtyard to discuss the matter.

Of course Zhang Jialiang was also present. Since it was not a whole-school meeting, the eight-immortal table was naturally not brought out. Instead, everyone stood together.

Every family in the compound participated. There were more than 20 people present, with three uncles in charge standing in the middle and the others sitting in a circle.

The first to open the show was Liu Haizhong.

“Let’s not talk about anything else today. Since everyone is here, you all know why.

Now we have reached an agreement, and everything is ready except for someone to contact the channels.

We will discuss two things today. The first is to count the amount of food each family wants to buy. The number counted now is only an approximate number. The specific number will be determined after we contact the channels.

The second thing is to recommend someone who has connections and abilities to make contacts.”

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Yan Fugui also spoke.

"Everyone please report the amount of food you want to buy to me and I will do the counting.

There is one thing everyone should pay attention to. We only buy coarse grains and no fine grains. We do this just to survive and eat, not for enjoyment, so we don't plan to buy fine grains.

I also hope that everyone will do what they can. On the one hand, food is expensive now, and it costs a lot of money. On the other hand, if you buy too much, one person can't carry it back. A family can only send one person, so you should do what you can."

Since only one person can be sent from a family, how much food can that person carry back?

Therefore, families with larger numbers of people are at a disadvantage, just like Zhang Jialiang's family. It is unknown whether there are a few uncles in charge who are deliberately doing bad things.

However, Zhang Jialiang was not interested in this. He participated in this matter just for show. Since he didn't care, he didn't feel he was at a disadvantage.

Otherwise, their family could have sent two people, after all, his brother-in-law's family is a separate household. However, considering the risks involved, Zhang Jialiang did not let his brother-in-law come.

It would be enough for them to have him come alone, so as to avoid the trouble if something happens. It would be more convenient for him to come alone, as he can face any situation calmly.

Zhang Jialiang came in front of Yan Fugui.

"Uncle, we need 50 kilograms."

When Yan Fugui saw Zhang Jialiang coming, he felt inexplicably excited. But when he heard that Zhang Jialiang only wanted 50 kilograms, he couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

"Liangzi, is 50 kilograms enough?

There are so many people in your family, and this opportunity only comes once, so you must seize it!"

Zhang Jialiang sensed the ambiguous tone of Yan Fugui's voice, and he looked indifferent and spoke in a calm tone.

"I can't help it. I'm the only one in my family. If I carry 50 kilograms for such a long distance, it will be inconvenient to run if something happens. 50 kilograms will be enough."

Yan Fugui didn't say anything else. After taking his notes, he said:

"Okay, I'll remember that."

After Zhang Jialiang finished registering, he walked out and happened to meet Sha Zhu.

"Shazhu, how many kilograms of food did you ask for?"

Sha Zhu was very happy. Now everyone’s family did not have enough food, and his family was no exception.

In the past, he could bring back some leftovers from the steel mill canteen every day, but now in this special period, he can no longer do that. Now that the compound has organized an event to buy food from outside, of course he has to participate, and he has bought quite a lot of food.

"I asked for 100 kilograms, and if I have the chance, I must ask for more.

"If you have food in your hands, you won't be worried. This is what the old lady told me."

Old Mrs. Long was indeed very kind to Sha Zhu. She treated him as her own grandson and passed on all kinds of life experience to him.

"Damn, you're so cruel!

It’s not easy to carry 100 kilograms of food. Don’t be unable to walk when the time comes.”

Sha Zhu raised his arm and patted his biceps hard.

"Who are you looking down on?

Look at my muscles, buddy. I may not be good at other things, but when it comes to strength, who in our compound can catch up with me?

100 pounds is no big deal. I will still be able to walk briskly when the time comes.

How many pounds do you want?"

Sha Zhu is quite strong and powerful, but he is still far inferior to Zhang Jialiang.

As he spent longer and longer time hunting in space, his physical strength became stronger and stronger, whether it was due to the large amount of exercise or the system.

Originally he was stronger than Sha Zhu, and now he is even stronger, but he is not as fond of showing off as Sha Zhu.

"I asked for 50 kilograms. I'm not as brave as you. If something happens, I can run away with 50 kilograms on my back."

Sha Zhu didn't care what Zhang Jialiang said, he was very confident.

"You are too timid. Nothing bad will happen this time. Who hasn't been to the black market?

Although there are risks, the chance of something going wrong is not too high. Besides, this is a unified action of our compound, and the three managers will be careful and cautious.

Also, there are so many people going back this time, so there is no need to be afraid. Even if something really happens, the worst that can happen is that we can just leave the food behind and run away!

If you carry food with you, you will definitely not be able to outrun the inspection team. So if something goes wrong, 100 kilograms will be thrown away, and 50 kilograms will be thrown away too. It is better to buy more at a time."

This time Zhang Jialiang was really dumbfounded. In fact, according to the actual situation, what his grandson Sha Zhu said was right. He was the one who was dumbfounded this time. However, Zhang Jialiang's situation was different from that of ordinary people, and he was too lazy to change it.

After counting the purchase quantities of each household, the group gathered in a circle and began to recommend people who should find ways to buy food.
