Chapter 183 The stingy third master(1/2)
On the second day, He Yuyu couldn’t wait to ride his bicycle to play at classmate Yu Li’s house.
He Yuzhu had to be concerned about Yu Yu's life next week. Seeing that there was not much wheat flour left, he pushed his bicycle directly and was about to go out, but he happened to meet the third uncle.
The third uncle from afar greeted him very attentively: "Zhuzi, what are you doing? Aren't you not going to work today?"
He Yuzhu was very surprised. The third uncle shouldn't be so enthusiastic?
However, many years of experience also made He Yuzhu immediately and enthusiastically reply: "Good morning, third uncle, I'm going out for a walk today. Didn't the rain come back today? She has to take the teacher to school tomorrow, and there are also things at home.
There isn't that much food, so I just want to go to Pigeon Market and have a look there to see if there is any suitable food to buy and let the rainwater bring it back.
No matter what you do, you can't starve my sister, right?"
The third uncle was a little surprised and said: "If you still do this to me, do your family still lack some food?"
During these times, your family can eat some meat from time to time.
It can be said that your family’s living conditions are probably the best among our courtyard houses.”
He Yuzhu felt that this must be made clear. He was not an extravagant and wasteful person. It would not be a good sign to have such a reputation in the courtyard.
At this time, He Yuzhu quickly explained: "Third uncle, please don't say that, I don't have much time to eat meat.
That is to say, there are only one or two rare times. If it weren't for a chicken and a fish given by Director Huang, I wouldn't be able to eat like that, right?
He also rations the food in our family. The food in our family is the same as that in your family. Moreover, only Yu Yu and I have less food now, and most of it is coarse grains.
I don't want the rain to carry so much to school. I want to get him more wheat flour.
Now that the rain is growing, studying is a lot of work, right?
You can't get more wheat flour, as it may not be able to keep up with it nutritionally.
She doesn’t eat much at school, so when I get home I’ll get her some meat to supplement her food. Usually I’m reluctant to eat meat.
No, today I just want to go to Pigeon Market to see if there is anyone selling wheat flour, so I just want to get some."
After hearing this explanation, the third uncle thought about it and realized that it was true that Silly Zhu, the boy, usually ate more steamed buns and cornmeal.
Needless to say, in the steel rolling mill, everyone eats the same big pot dish.
Think about it, this stupid Zhu family is really not much better than myself.
Thinking about it like this, the third uncle immediately felt much more comfortable.
At that moment, the third uncle's eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully: "|You are going to the Pigeon Market. I happen to want to go there too. I originally wanted to go to your house to borrow a bicycle, but coincidentally you are going there too today.
You see, our family is a little nervous now that it’s the end of the month, so I just want to get some coarse grains, otherwise the house will be a little untidy, so I’ll just go there in your car today.”
He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, and some curious people said: "No, Third Uncle, you have a bicycle.
Why is it my bicycle? Where is your bicycle?
You can’t help but tell me that you gave birth to the baby at home, right?”
He Yuzhu was really curious this time, because the third uncle was such a stingy person that he would not be happy even if his own son borrowed a bicycle, let alone lending the bicycle to others.
So when He Yuzhu heard what the third generation said, he felt a little curious. The third uncle's bicycle was not at home. He was as rare as an old sow climbing up a tree.
Therefore, He Yuzhu rarely made a few jokes.
At this time, the second uncle came over and took the words with a smile: "Yes, this is a rare thing today, Zhuzi, your third uncle actually lent me his bicycle."
At this time, the third uncle only said to He Yuzhu: "Zhuzhu, his second uncle, you two should just talk about it.
My bicycle was borrowed by Wu Laoer next door.
Originally, I had no plans to go out today, so I just thought of lending him my bicycle. But I didn't expect that when I looked back at the food, there wasn't much left.
And there are no food stamps at home, so I can only go to the pigeon market to see if there are any high-priced food.
No, I was thinking of picking up my bike from you, but I didn’t expect that you were also going to Pigeon City at Zhuzhu.
Let's talk about it. We don't have much food at home. Now we have received all the food in the food book early. If we don't go to the pigeon market to take a look, this will indeed be the northwest wind by the end of the month. Yes.
This is not true.
Today is the day that I don’t have to walk, so I’ll just sit on your bicycle and go to Pigeon City for a walk.”
The second uncle waved his hand with a smile and said: "Don't explain, explanation is just a cover-up. Come on, it's getting late. Can you go quickly?"
He Yuzhu didn't care much after hearing this. The pigeon market is not special. The third uncle must have other thoughts. Most of his bicycles are rented to Wu Laoer. However, for this small matter, he still has to save face for the third uncle.
of.
At that moment, He Yuzhu said happily: "Come on, third uncle, please come up. Let us go to the pigeon market and see if we can gain anything."
At this time, the third uncle's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
Immediately he said: "Okay, Zhu Zhu, you can do your job as fast as you can, but you wait first, I still have a few fish, I'll take them over and see if I can take action at Pigeon City."
The third uncle loves fishing. He is reluctant to eat the fish he catches and always tries to sell them.
Sometimes they are sold to the kitchens of the steel rolling mills. He Yuzhu also knows this. Of course, this is limited. After all, if the steel rolling mills want fish, the quantity is usually relatively large.
That is with its own fixed supplier.
Of course, if the third uncle happens to have big fish one day, it is not impossible to sell it to the kitchen of the steel rolling mill. After all, small kitchens also need fish.
He Yuzhu can take charge of this small matter by himself and just tell Director Huang later.
Now, He Yuzhu is the deputy director himself. He can decide whether to buy the third uncle's fish without telling Director Huang.
Of course, if there are less fish, then when there are more fish, the third uncle will go to the Pigeon Market to find someone to sell them to.
However, for something like this, if you are caught, it will definitely be speculation, but if you are not caught, you can still supplement your family income to some extent.
This can be regarded as a kind of living condition for people in the 1960s.
At this time when we arrived at Pigeon, the third uncle, carrying a bucket of fish, greeted him and said, "Zhuzhu, let me go and see if I can get rid of these fish first. You can go and have a look by yourself, or we can make a deal with you."
Yes, I'll be waiting for you at the door in an hour and a half."
He Yuzhu waved his hand at this time and said very freely: "I listen to you, third uncle, we will meet here in an hour and a half. See you there or not."
He Yuzhu can be regarded as a celebrity in this pigeon market. He usually comes to the pigeon market every week whenever he is free, selling some sugar, eggs, even milk powder, beef and other rare supplies.
Of course, it usually means exchanging some large yellow croakers, small yellow croakers, etc., or some antiques and other gadgets.
Of course, the number of large yellow croakers exchanged was small, and so far he had only had two opportunities. That was He Yuzhu, who exchanged 6 bottles of foreign wine for the large yellow croakers from others, six bottles each time, twice in total.
Anyway, He Yuzhu doesn’t know why some people think that big yellow croaker is not as good as foreign wine.
If it were He Yuzhu himself, he would exchange a large yellow croaker for six bottles of foreign wine. Even if the wine was named Louis, He Yuzhu would not exchange it.
Of course, those two exchanges for foreign wine were the biggest abuse He Yuzhu encountered in Pigeon Market.
So far, the most people he has encountered in Pigeon City are small yellow croakers and large yellow croakers who were exchanged for things twice, and it was still the same group of people.
Because He Yuzhu always brings some unexpected products, some even foreign products, so he is more or less famous in this pigeon market. The more people he comes to, the more people he knows.
too much.
Later, when Wu Laoer and a group of his subordinates also had activities here, He Yuzhu knew that Wu Laoer was also a speculator.
He Yuzhu often met acquaintances here in Pigeon City. Not only did he meet an acquaintance after just a few steps, he was also one of Wu Laoer's subordinates.
He Yuzhu walked over and said hello: "Ma Liu, what's wrong? You're wandering here again. I've told you so many times to find something serious to do. Why don't you listen?"
When Ma Liu saw He Yuzhu, he immediately nodded and ran over and said, "Brother Zhuzhu, this is business, you know? I'm just showing off."
Ma He Yuzhu frowned and said, "What are you doing here, kid? Aren't you following Wu Laoer?"
I haven’t seen this boy Wu Laoer for a long time, what has this boy been busy with recently?”
Ma Liu immediately took out the big production, then ordered it for He Yuzhu obediently, and then said: "Brother Zhuzhu, you can't blame me, you are a busy man, I heard that you went to the Canton Fair, you have been away for half a month
Of course you can't see us.
At most we just hang out here and eat, and we don't get to go to any big banquets.
In fact, the second brother has been listening to your words recently and has been taking action. Some of the things in his hands are exchanged for some grain and stored.
By the way, can Zhuzi really increase the price after he hoards food?"
He Yuzhu snorted and said: "Use your brain, pig brain?
Although food is definitely not as valuable these days as it was two years ago, food is one of the hard currencies in any country at any time. Besides gold, food is one of the hard currencies.
It is even said that sometimes even if you have gold, you cannot buy food. A pound of food can sometimes save your life. Can first-level gold save your life?
Anyway, if you believe it or not, I won’t force you to buy food.
Anyway, the Peach Blossom Grain is not wrong. Maybe you have a market here, so you can exchange last year's old grain for the bride.
Then take advantage of some suitable opportunities to store some firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. Anyway, there is nothing wrong with it. As for whether you are willing to listen to it or not, that is your business. Anyway, I have already said this.
By the way, you kid, don’t play tricks on me, what on earth is the second one doing?”
Ma Liu was really forced to have no choice, so he said helplessly: "Brother Zhuzhu, actually, our second brother took a big job and got a batch of pork.
Because the amount was slightly larger, he was not at ease after exchanging two things. Someone else and his brother would keep an eye on it 24 hours a day, just for fear of something unexpected happening.
If something unexpected happened, a group of us would have to go to the northwest.
