Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 537: Relationships are built through interaction

After putting the things in the car and handing them over in the field, the two drove back to the factory.

When you come here, the canteen basically sends people to move your things down and then put them on the ground to dry for a day or two.

Suddenly, all the open spaces in the factory began to be filled with cabbages.

Naturally, someone will be responsible for the follow-up work.

After finishing this trip, it was almost time for lunch.

I had a little more time in the afternoon, so I made two trips and unloaded the goods before leaving get off work. That's how the day passed.

The trucks at that time could not carry that much load, and the cabbages also took up a lot of space.

It will take two or three days.

By the time they unloaded their things, everyone who was leaving get off work had already left.

Say hello to Lao Yao and leave.

When I got home, Liang Chunxiao had already finished get off work.

"Why are you back so early? Aren't you on the night shift?"

Seeing Liang Chunxiao already cooking at home, Wang Qingsong asked curiously.

The car also stopped on the side.

While cooking, Liang Chunxiao said, "You were drunk yesterday! I thought you might not be feeling well today, so I changed my shift for a day and came back to cook."

At this time, Sun Qian next door was cooking.

Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Qingsong! You have found a good partner! Look how considerate he is."

Aunt Han also echoed: "Yes, Qingsong, you are blessed. You have to be nice to Chunxiao!"

This made Liang Chunxiao feel a little embarrassed.

Wang Qingsong parked the car and said with a smile: "Yes! I am a lucky man. I will definitely treat her well."

This caused Liang Chunxiao to roll his eyes.

"Stop being so talkative."

Wang Qingsong walked up the steps and said with a smile: "This is not just nonsense! I am telling the truth! I am fine, I am fine today!"

Liang Chunxiao gave him a reproachful look and lowered his head to go back to work.

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong went into the house to wash his hands with a smile.

When he came out, Aunt Han came over and asked with a smile: "Qingsong! Let me ask you something! If you have a way, can you get more cabbage this year?"

Wang Qingsong pondered for a moment after hearing this and looked at the people in the compound.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I'll go ask. I don't know if it will work."

"Oh, okay, thank you for your help!"

After asking the questions, Aunt Han left with a smile.

Wang Qingsong looked at her back as she left and smiled. It is said that if you live on the mountain, you can make a living from it. As long as it is not too excessive, there will generally be no problem.

Although there is a quota for winter storage of Chinese cabbage, it is not like grain after all.

It’s just that the cabbage for winter storage is slightly cheaper.

Even after the winter storage period for Chinese cabbage has passed, you can still buy it, but the price will be much higher.

After dinner, Wang Qingsong looked at the time and said, "I have something to do outside. Don't worry about me! Take a shower and go to bed early."

Liang Chunxiao was washing dishes there. Hearing this, he smiled and agreed: "Okay, don't do it too late."

"Don't worry."

He said hello and left the compound.

After coming out, he rode his bike towards the destination according to the address given by Li Zhonghai.

Fortunately, they are all in the west of the city and not too far away.

After more than twenty minutes, the car arrived at an alley.

It is not a hutong, because there are relatively few courtyard houses here, and some are old-style brick and tile courtyards.

It’s a bit similar to the house I bought for Liang Chunxiao before.

But it's slightly better than that place.

Unlike the alleys, the house numbers here are not particularly clear, and some are on the inner doors.

I met someone and asked about it.

This is the place we have found.

"Skinny monkey!"

Standing inside he shouted.

After a while, a young man came out wearing clothes.

"Who!"

The door opened and the skinny monkey looked at him curiously: "Who are you...?"

"Forgot? I'm Han Weiguo's friend. Did we fight in Shichahai last time?"

"Oh! It's you! I remember now. What's wrong? Do you want to talk to me about something? Come in!"

It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, and the skinny monkey had only met her once before, so he didn't react for a moment.

Wang Qingsong pushed the car in. The yard was very small, only about a dozen square meters.

The skinny monkey followed in and asked with a smile, "How did you know I live here?"

After Wang Qingsong parked the car, he said, "I happened to run into him when I was transporting vegetables to the vegetable field today. He asked me to come here to find you. By the way, I brought him some things. Could you please call him over?"

"Bring something?"

The skinny monkey was puzzled for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay! Then you go in first, I'll go call for help."

"It's okay. I'll stay here and wait for you to come back."

"No, there's nothing valuable at home. They're all Datou's friends, so I can trust them."

But he didn't bother to be polite and just put on his clothes and walked outside.

Seeing this, Wang Qingsong did not go into the house, but waited there quietly.

After all, the two of them are not particularly familiar with each other.

Didn't make him wait too long.

Ten minutes later, there was a noise outside.

Li Zhonghai and Shouhou came in together.

"Brother, you're here so soon! Why don't you come in?"

After Li Zhonghai came in, he said with a smile.

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "No one is home, I'll wait here."

Then he said, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do today, and my company just happened to be going to get some meat, so I'll come over and bring it to you."

Li Zhonghai complained, "He's not an outsider. We've been friends with Datou for many years, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. How many valuable things can there be in Shouhou's house? Let's go in and talk."

Take the lead and walk inside.

Wang Qingsong naturally followed in carrying the prepared sack.

This house is somewhat similar to the ones in the Northeast.

There is a main room and a small room with a kang on the left.

The lighting is very dim.

After the skinny monkey came in, he looked at the meat Wang Qingsong was carrying and asked curiously, "Meat? What kind of meat?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhonghai told Wang Qingsong about what happened today.

"He said he'd get us some meat, but I didn't expect him to come over in the evening."

This surprised the skinny monkey.

You can get meat, and you don’t need a ticket, it’s at the market listed price.

Wang Qingsong smiled and opened the cloth bag, saying, "There aren't many things! You guys eat them first, and I'll bring them to you later when I get more."

"Wow, that's a lot, and it's all ribs? So fat. You still say it's not much?"

The skinny monkey was surprised and squatted on the ground looking at the meat.

Now a person only has two taels of meat per month.

Not even the size of a fist.

Wang Qingsong also squatted on the ground and said with a smile: "A total of 12 kilograms, no more, no less. There were quite a few people that day, and if everyone took a little, it would be gone."

Li Zhonghai came over to look at the meat, picked it up and looked at it, and said, "Little brother, if you go to the black market and sell this meat, you can get a lot more money! Are you really going to give us the market price?"

Wang Qingsong stood up and clapped his hands, saying with a smile: "I guess you all know that Han Weiguo is my girlfriend's elder brother. If I make money from you, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of my brother-in-law? If he finds out, he will punish me when he comes back!" Hearing this, Li Zhonghai laughed.

"No, let's put it this way! It's not easy to get meat now. Let's just calculate it based on the price of the meat ticket."

Wang Qingsong's words also enlightened him.

If I take advantage of him, it will be embarrassing when Han Weiguo finds out!

Wang Qingsong pretended to be angry and said, "Do you want it? If not, I'll take it. I didn't buy the meat, so I can still make money from you! The accounts can be corrected."

He can't afford to miss these few things.

There are ways to make money.

Not to mention other things, if he goes to trade wearing a mask, plus his Bagua mirror, no one can catch him unless he is unlucky.

Unless the person is exposed to the public eye.

Li Zhonghai saw his actions.

I understand what Wang Qingsong means, I just don’t want to get into it here.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Okay, then we won't be so hypocritical. We'll accept the meat. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell us. It's just a matter of one word."

"Hey, isn't that right? Weigh it."

"Hey! Why are you still weighing it? Isn't this just a slap in your face?"

They often transport goods, so they can get a rough idea of ​​the weight by just weighing it, and even if it's not exact, the difference is not that big.

Although some meat coupons have been issued in the city now.

But there is still a lack of meat.

Although the price of meat tickets on the black market is not as exaggerated as in the previous two years, it is still two yuan per pound.

And there is a risk of getting caught if you go to the black market.

As he spoke, he kicked the skinny monkey and said, "Don't just watch. When someone comes, don't even pour a glass of water!"

He took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Sit on the kang and chat!"

The skinny monkey chuckled and went over to pour a cup of tea: "It's not a good tea, brother, just make do with it!"

"It's good to have tea leaves."

Wang Qingsong was polite, saying that tea is not cheap these days.

It is not lower than that of later generations.

In later generations, one day's salary could buy a pound of tea, but at that time, one day's salary could not even buy ordinary tea.

Ordinary tea that usually costs more than one yuan per pound is now sold for three or four yuan per pound.

But he didn't drink the water.

He smoked a cigarette, looked at the two of them and said, "You haven't gotten married yet?"

In fact, they are not very old.

Probably around twenty.

After all, Han Weiguo knew them when they were children, and Han Weiguo is only 20 years old now.

About four years older than Liang Chunxiao.

Seeing this, the skinny monkey laughed and said, "Who would be interested in me if I look like this? The fat guy has a girlfriend, and they will probably get married next year."

Wang Qingsong smiled when he heard this: "What's there to be dissatisfied about? Your monthly salary is not low, right?"

Pulling a cart is indeed hard work, but you can earn at least 40 or 50 yuan a month.

Otherwise, it would be better to find a job in an organization.

How stable.

No need to be exposed to wind and sun.

One person really can't spend too much money.

Otherwise, Shouhou would not be willing to buy genuine tea, even if it was of relatively poor quality.

Li Zhonghai looked at him and said with a smile: "This skinny boy can feed his whole family. He has the best life among all of us. He is saving money and waiting for a wife to fall in love with him!"

Wang Qingsong nodded lightly when he heard this.

Indeed, it is difficult to find a wife without parents these days.

Skinny Monkey is a city guy, not like the country guy.

It’s not like the army just after liberation, where having a wife was considered good enough.

Even now, there are still many single men in their thirties and forties in many military units.

This made the skinny monkey feel a little embarrassed.

Wang Qingsong was also there smiling.

He smoked a cigarette, threw it away, took out another cigarette and gave one to each of them, saying with a smile: "Don't worry, take your time! Are you worried that you won't be able to find a wife? By the way, Skinny Monkey, what's your name? I'm younger than you, and it's not nice to keep calling me Skinny Monkey."

Seeing this, the skinny monkey waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay! You can call me that. I'm not used to it if you call me by my name."

Li Zhonghai also laughed and said, "That's right, we all call me that. It's strange if you call me that! Just call me Fatty from now on. They all call me that, I'm used to it. It's so awkward for you to call me Brother Hai."

Seeing the two of them say this, Wang Qingsong thought about it.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll follow suit. Don't blame me, please!"

"Haha, don't be so awkward!"

Li Zhonghai said with a smile, and then took out some money from his pocket: "Here's the money for you! Click it!"

Then, in front of him, he started lighting it.

When he heard Wang Qingsong coming to find him, he guessed that there might be meat.

I brought money specially.

Wang Qingsong didn't say anything polite when he saw this: "Then I won't be polite! I'll take the money."

He didn't count them and just stuffed them into his pocket.

Then they chatted there for a while.

Wang Qingsong specifically instructed that only the three of them would know about this matter and not to tell anyone else.

Naturally, the two of them patted their chests and made assurances.

The skinny monkey laughed and said, "You've saved us a lot of trouble. We don't have to worry about running to the black market anymore."

Wang Qingsong pondered for a moment and asked, "What's the situation in the black market now? I haven't been there for a long time."

There is nothing shameful about going to the black market.

These are difficult times, and many people have been there. As long as they are not caught in the act, no one will care even if they know about it.

Li Zhonghai laughed and said, "What else could it be? It's almost the same as before..."

Let me tell you the general situation.

We are still cracking down on it, but those who go to the black market are like weeds, growing again when the spring breeze blows.

But it is not as strict as before.

Maybe they knew the situation hadn’t improved much, so those who were arrested were criticized and educated, and then released after some study.

Even many cases that are not serious are not arrested at all.

To put it bluntly, it's more like a token of my appreciation.

Wang Qingsong also gradually learned the approximate price on the black market.

Much better than before.

The price of food coupons is now basically maintained at around 50 cents. As for meat coupons, it is basically around 2 yuan to 2.5 yuan.

Meat, grain, and cloth are the three items with the largest difference between their prices and listed prices on the black market.

As for others, the price fluctuations are relatively small.

After all, people can't eat and wear.

As for meat, the price hasn't dropped much because many people were malnourished during this period.

After chatting for a while, he looked at the time and said with a smile: "It's getting late, so I'll go back first. I guess you guys are all busy during this period. I'll treat you to a meal someday."

Li Zhonghai stood up with a smile on his face and said, "Okay, thank you."

"Hey, why are you being so polite? I'm leaving now!"

After saying hello, he left.

Shouhou and Li Zhonghai were left here to divide the meat.
