Chapter 28 Busy Market(1/2)

"Well, I can sell the pig head to you..."

Uncle Qi thought for a while and said.

"No, this is what you keep for your own consumption..."

"This is not for you. I also want to save some food. I don't want your money. You can just exchange it for thirty kilograms of white flour."

"Okay, I'll get some noodles, uncle, that pig head..."

"When my lover comes, I'll ask him to go back and get it."

"Uncle, does aunty also work around here?"

Jia Yi is a little strange.

"You've seen it too."

"How could I have seen it before?"

Jia Yi was confused. Anyway, no matter how Jia Yi asked, Uncle Qi didn't speak.

"Then, uncle, I'm going to get ready."

"Go ahead and come by at noon."

Saying goodbye to Uncle Qi, Jia Yi began to wander around to see how the market was doing.

Sure enough, most of what was being traded was grain, especially coarse grains, which were cheap and extremely hungry, making them the best choice during the spring famine.

Of course, not everyone has the money to buy it. Most people exchange it with tickets, animal skins, medicinal materials, mountain goods and the like.

Seeing this, Jia Yi made a decision.

Tomorrow the rice will be harvested in Taoyuan, and the flour and rice in the warehouse are enough to last a lifetime.

So this time I will plant potatoes, which grow quickly and have high yields.

After making the decision, Jia Yi didn't wander around much, came to the small base and opened the courtyard door.

It was still so dilapidated that Jia Yi thought about it and decided not to practice it for the time being.

Trying to find the owner of the yard, Jia Yi didn't want to wait for the yard to be repaired before the original owner took it away.

You can't do this kind of thing.

"Uncle, I'm here."

Jia Yi said hello, carrying thirty kilograms of white noodles in his hand, and looked at the stall carefully, but he didn't see any pig heads.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Your aunt has already gone back to get it. It should be here soon."

Uncle Qi glanced at Jia Yi speechlessly.

Jia Yi smiled and revealed the matter.

Before the two of them chatted for a while, Jia Yi heard a female voice not far away.

"Lao Qi, I brought the pig head for you."

Jia Yi turned around and took a look, and was so frightened that he almost ran away.

This woman is one of the red armbands that Jia Yi met last time.

If he hadn't heard her speak first, Jia Yi would have really run away.

No wonder Uncle Qi happened to be away during the last red armband inspection. I thought it was because he was lucky, but it turned out there was an inside job.

Jia Yi quickly calmed down and hypnotized himself, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid..."

"Hey, what do you think? Give me a shock. This is my lover..."

"That's not right. Uncle, how do you know that I have met my aunt?"

Uncle Qi looked at Jia Yi speechlessly.

"Of course your aunt said that. How good do you think you are? Look carefully at this market. There are very few children of your age, and there are none as active as you."

What Jia Yi heard was that his head was full of black threads. He said, my matter is no longer a secret.

"Don't worry, not many people know about you. After all, you only made two big deals and disappeared. Everyone thought you had left."

Aunt Qi comforted her.

"Yeah, if I hadn't seen you selling melon seeds, I would have thought you left.

In addition, you have grown a lot taller, and your face has also changed, so even acquaintances will not be able to recognize you."

"Auntie, since you are...then why do you let uncle do business?"

Jia Yi was a little confused.

"It's all about living. If I don't come, I will have to rely on my salary alone and the whole family will have to drink from the northwest wind.

Xiao Yi, don't be stupid. You think that we and Pigeon City are in opposition. In fact, we are not. We are also human beings and have families to support.

What will happen at home if the pigeon market is banned?

What will happen to these people who cannot live without food?

In fact, we all know the situation in this market, and our inspection is just for show.

Moreover, most of us often come here to shop and buy some supplies and food.

Did you look at the elderly couple buying food?"

"I saw it, what happened..."

"Hey, those are our director's parents..."

Jia Yi was speechless and looked at the old couple with bitter faces.

"It's not easy!"

Think about it, we are all ordinary people, and we are all running for three meals a day, so why should we cut off our own escape route?

After chatting for a while, I didn’t even need to eat lunch, I was already very full.

No, we can't go on like this.

"Auntie, are you familiar with this area?"

"Of course I'm familiar with it. I often come to inspect this area."

"Then do you know who owns the yard behind the big tree?"

Jia Yi asked, pointing to the big tree in the distance.

"I really don't know who it belongs to. When I came here ten years ago, this yard was already abandoned, but I heard my colleagues talk about it.

The owner of this courtyard is named Wu. If he were still alive, he would be over sixty years old.

Fifteen years ago, this family didn't know who they offended, and overnight, the entire family disappeared.

This courtyard has become dilapidated."

Jia Yi listened carefully and was a little disappointed. There was no useful information in the co-author.

"Xiao Yi, if you are interested, your aunt and I will help you ask. There should be an old man who knows about this matter."

Uncle Qi saw that Jia Yi wanted to know the details. It was not a troublesome thing to ask anyway, so he took the initiative to agree.

"Okay, thank you uncle and aunt."

Jia Yi is sincerely grateful. It doesn't matter here. If no one helps, Jia Yi alone won't be able to find out the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

"Hey, uncle, if you need anything, you can tell me, I still have some channels."

"This is what you said. If uncle comes to see you for something in the future, don't forget it."

"Hey, I will never refuse if I can do it. Of course, I can't do anything beyond my capabilities."

Uncle Qi looked at Jia Yi helplessly and sighed, this kid must be a loach, he is so slippery...

Jia Yi said goodbye to Uncle Qi and his wife with a big pig head weighing more than 20 kilograms.

There are still more than 7,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and more than 15,000 kilograms of potatoes in the Taoyuan warehouse.

Arrange the potato seedlings for tomorrow, and the rest can be sold.

Looking at the various goods on the market, Jia Yi was a little excited, such as cloth tickets, industrial coupons, and even some medicinal wine.

Most of these things are not sold for money and must be exchanged for food.

This is bartering and rejecting middlemen to make the difference.

"Uncle, what medicinal wine are you selling..."

Jia Yi pointed to a jar of wine, a little curious.

"It is soaked in the bones of big cats to strengthen the body and dispel wind and cold."

No, cat bones cannot be used in medicine bars.

"Big cat, it turns out to be this big cat..."
