Age: My Small World

Chapter 62 Selling Grain
"Brother Hu, it's pitch black. What are we doing here?" Someone muttered as a group of people walked towards the dilapidated park.

It was already around four in the morning, and the sky was still dark, with only the moonlight still bright.

But after a few days, I'm afraid that only the crescent moon will be visible.

The dark market is better, providing some light.

Zhang Hu slapped his younger brother on the head and cursed, "Do I need you to keep asking questions when I'm doing something? Are you the boss or am I?"

"Listen to me later. If someone ambushes us, grab all your weapons and stuff. Especially you, Xiaolong, don't let me down."

Xiaolong is Zhang Hu's number one thug and has never let him down.

"Don't worry, Brother Tiger, I will fight to the death!"

Xiaolong clenched his fists and grinned.

"Fuck! Don't laugh so hard, you scared me." Zhang Hu's eyes twitched and he slapped him again.

When we arrived at the park entrance, Yang Jun was already waiting there.

Seeing more than a dozen people coming over, he didn't feel guilty. Instead, he thought it would be easier and he shouldn't need to help move things.

Zhang Hu naturally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the boy didn't lie.

"Brother, I've already prepared everything. Where's the goods?"

Yang Jun pointed inside and said, "It's already been put away. Go in and weigh it."

Zhang Hu waved to Xiaolong and immediately took his men in.

They were carrying scales or something in their hands, and their waists were a little bulging, probably because they were carrying stuff.

When you walk to the place where the food is piled up, you naturally don't need to take out your weapons.

"Brother Tiger, it's really food."

Xiaolong gestured to Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu nodded: "Let's weigh it."

He looked at the pumpkins scattered on the ground, then at the dozens of grain bags, feeling a little confused. With so many things, how could he just leave them here alone to watch over them?

But if you don't understand it, then you won't waste your brain cells.

He looked around the park for places where people could hide, but there was no movement. He was afraid that the people would leave after moving the food here.

"Or perhaps they're lying in ambush on the outskirts?"

After about an hour, when the sky was beginning to get light, the group of people finally finished weighing.

The main reason is that they didn’t bring enough.

"Brother Tiger, the total is 2,000 kilograms of shelled wheat, 6,000 kilograms of corn, 150 pumpkins, a total of 3,000 kilograms, and 80 kilograms of fish."

There was not enough time to raise the fish, so only about ten of them reached about seven or eight kilograms, and Yang Jun picked them out and sold them all at once.

To be honest, if he came to this dark market later, the price of food would be higher, and the demand for food would be greater at that time.

But if he really had that much time, Yang Jun could have trained a few more batches himself, so there was no need to hold back on selling. He was in urgent need of money right now. He needed to buy jade, pay back debts, and improve his family's life. How could he not be urgent?
"That's quite a lot."

After listening to the report, Zhang Hu looked at Yang Jun without any indifference. Instead, he had a smile on his face.

"Little brother, let's calculate the total price now."

"Due to the bumper harvest this year, the price of grain is lower. Besides, it's not easy to sell so much at once, so I'll give you eight cents a pound for corn, 12 cents for wheat, 3 cents for pumpkin, and 30 cents for fish. What do you say?"

Zhang Hu gave a rough price, which was basically lower than that in the county town.

Especially the fish, it is much lower.

But Yang Jun knew what was going on.

This year's grain harvest is much better than last year, which has led to a drop in grain prices.

Especially since he was selling so much at one time, he needed to lower the price.

As for the fish, it is even simpler. Not all fish are grass carp, so there is nothing wrong with selling them for three cents. Even if they are sold to the government, they will only earn a few cents more at most, and it will also easily attract attention.

To be honest, the price Zhang Hu gave was quite fair.

"This price... is okay." Yang Jun nodded. Zhang Hu immediately smiled happily.

"Good brother, then it's settled."

"Xiaolong, quickly calculate the total amount."

"A total of 834 yuan." Yang Jun quickly came to the conclusion.

Xiaolong hesitated for a while before saying the same number.

"Little brother, should I give you money or what?"

Zhang Hu was quite generous and prepared to take the money directly.

Yang Jun was standing alone in front of them. He was not afraid of anything, but he was ready to run away at any time.

Seeing Zhang Hu like this, Yang Jun raised his eyebrows.

"Brother Hu, right? Do you have any other coupons here, such as cloth coupons, oil coupons, etc.? Please exchange them for me, and leave me 500 yuan."

"By the way, if there are any watch and bicycle tickets, please give me one too."

Zhang Hu was fine at first when he heard what he said, but then he rolled his eyes.

"Brother, cloth coupons and oil coupons are easy to come by. I also have meat coupons here, but watch coupons are rare and very difficult to get."

Yang Jun glanced at him, somewhat unconvinced.

So much grain was collected without blinking an eye, how could they not get a watch ticket?

"Tell me, Brother Tiger, how much is it?"

Zhang Hu laughed. "Not much, only 40 yuan a piece."

"This can buy half a watch." Yang Jun didn't expect him to ask for such a high price.

You should know that the lowest priced watch only costs more than 80 yuan, but he actually asked for half of it. This is just the ticket, and you still have to pay for the watch.

"You're right, I only have this one card in my hand, but I'm not afraid of not being able to make a move." Zhang Hu looked like he had him sure of winning.

Yang Jun really had no choice.

He urgently needed to buy a watch and a bicycle. If he went to someone else to buy them, they might not have them.

"Okay, okay, let's do as you say." Yang Jun took the blame obediently.

Seeing him nod, Zhang Hu's fleshy face softened a lot.

"Since you're so forthright, I'll do you a favor and give you a cheaper bicycle ticket, twenty yuan."

It’s not that cheap after all.

By the time I got the money and tickets, only 700 yuan was left out of the more than 800 yuan.

Thinking about it this way, the loss was not that serious. After all, Zhang Hu gave him some extra meat coupons, cloth coupons, and also added money for the sacks.

When he left alone, I felt a little relieved.

Yang Jun was very happy after going into the city and solving a big problem.

Brother Tiger and the others behind him are not so cool.

"Xiaolong, have you found any traces?"

"Brother Hu, there aren't many traces. I guess they did it very lightly, so you can't see much."

Zhang Hu looked off into the distance, squinting his eyes. "Let's check where the goods are coming from. We can't lose track of who our opponent is, or we'll be tricked one day."

"Yes, Brother Tiger."

Yang Jun didn't know that Brother Hu was a little suspicious and suspected that there was someone behind him.

At this time, he was on his way back to the Dark Market.

Of course, this was also because Yang Jun deliberately set up a confusing formation.
