The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Butcher Zhang said:

"That's impressive, sending hundreds of kilograms of meat in one go!"

He Yuzhu chuckled without explaining. This hostage was still his own; it belonged to his sister, his wife, and was also a reward from his workplace.

He Yuzhu took them all out at once. He Yuzhu didn't actually lack meat, but if the meat coupons weren't used, they would expire.

I'll just spend it!

Butcher Zhang nodded:

"Okay, I'll leave these things for you tomorrow. Anyway, you can buy meat with meat coupons."

Let me calculate the prices for you: pork is 80 cents a pound, 300 pounds is 240 yuan; mutton is 1.1 yuan a pound, 100 pounds is 110 yuan; beef is 1.2 yuan a pound, 100 pounds is 120 yuan.

Chicken, duck, fish, and goose are cheaper, 60 cents each, 100 jin (50 kg) for 60 cents.

The total is six hundred and thirty!

He Yuzhu counted out 630 and handed it to Butcher Zhang, who chuckled.

Wow, that's amazing! They're really rich!

You should know that 600 yuan is equivalent to what some people earn in a year.

But He Yuzhu could easily produce it. He Yuzhu said:

"Alright, I'll come pick up the meat tomorrow!"

Butcher Zhang nodded:

"Okay, I'll buy your meat separately tomorrow. You can buy it as long as you have the ration coupon!"

Butcher Zhang's meaning was clear: if you have a ticket, you can buy as much meat as you want openly and legally.

After all, this ticket is issued by the government; it's not available anywhere else.

Only those families in poverty could not bear to eat the meat ration coupons they received and exchanged them for coarse grains.

Although He Yuzhu's family also uses commercial grain, He Yuzhu said that they now eat refined grains.

He Yuzhu put away all the grain coupons for coarse grains and the grain he bought, without eating any of it.

Over the course of the year, the family's food rations consisted of dozens of kilograms of coarse grains per person each month. They accumulated nearly two thousand kilograms of coarse grains just from buying them.

He Yuzhu knew that even if he didn't eat them, in a few years, these coarse grains would be worth the price of gold.

However, He Yuzhu did not tell anyone, and no one asked He Yuzhu where his coarse grains had gone.

Since everyone can afford refined grains at home, no one would be foolish enough to choose to eat coarse grains.

It should be noted that He Yuzhu, He Yu, Yang Xiaodi, and Chen Xueru all had ration coupons, and all four of them had fixed rations, although not all of them received refined grains.

However, the fine grains that He Yuzhu bought with ration coupons outside were enough for four people to eat.

He Yuzhu hasn't touched the fine grains in the space yet.

After saying that, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle back. As for the vegetables, there were plenty in the space. The space had no time limit; whatever was put in was exactly what was taken out. How could He Yuzhu possibly hoard vegetables?

Moreover, these vegetables don't require coupons; they are all seasonal vegetables, and the price is determined according to supply and demand.

Vegetables don't keep well in the fall, and prices are low, so He Yuzhu has stored quite a lot of them over the years.

Moreover, He Yuzhu's family never lacked vegetables, and over time, everyone stopped asking about it.

Nowadays, vegetables are more expensive than meat, of course, I'm talking about fresh vegetables.

But even at this price, not many people buy it. Ordinary people don't buy it because of the price; they'd rather buy meat with that money.

Meat is nutritious, so winter vegetables are a luxury reserved for the wealthy. He Yuzhu was too lazy to bother with them, since he wasn't short of money.

After riding the bike back home, Yang Xiaodi and Chen Xueru were talking to Nangong Yan in the yard.

Upon seeing He Yuzhu return, Yang Xiaodi said:

"Honey, you're back. Weren't you on vacation? Where did you go all day?"

He Yuzhu said:

"I've gone to invite your dad and his family to come over for the New Year. I'll go to your parents' place tomorrow and invite them over too, as well as my master."

I ordered 600 jin of meat, enough for all of us!

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yan rolled her eyes. Others might not know, but these three people knew what He Yuzhu had done. This reward was nothing to them, so Nangong Yan didn't say anything.

But Yang Xiaodi and Chen Xueru didn't know that Chen Xueru's shop had profit sharing and meat coupons, but they couldn't accumulate that much in a year.

Yang Xiaodi only gets two jin of meat coupons per month, which adds up to just over twenty jin a year.

Yang Xiaodi asked curiously:

"Where did you get this hostage?"

He Yuzhu said:

"In addition to the reward, there are also my company's benefits!"

It should be noted that engineers like He Yuzhu receive preferential treatment, receiving approximately 20 jin of meat coupons each month, which is ten times that of Yang Xiaodi.

After all, engineers need to use their brains and require a lot of nutrition.

In addition to the things He Yuzhu invented, He Yuzhu also had access to the resources of an entire department.

After all, the resources for each department are limited, and once they are divided among everyone, there isn't much left.

However, He Yuzhu's seventh department was essentially a lone commander with no real personnel, even though it was given the lowest level of resources.

But even if you come down to it alone, there are quite a few.

However, He Yuzhu couldn't explain these things, and instead said:

"Mine will definitely be fine. Just enjoy your food!"

He Yu came running over and said to He Yuzhu:

"Brother, I'm in high school now, can you buy me a bicycle?"

Although He Yu is only eleven years old, she is already 1.58 meters tall and can ride a bicycle.

He Yuzhu wasn't short of a bicycle, and then nodded:

"Okay, can you ride it now?"

He Yu nodded proudly:

"Of course I know! My sister-in-law taught me how!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Okay, now that you can ride a bike, I'll go buy you a new women's bicycle tomorrow!"

He Yuzhu already had his own space, but now he has plenty of money and votes.

He decided not to move anything in the space, since he would have to explain it to others if he did, and He Yuzhu was too lazy to explain.

A bicycle costs at most two hundred yuan.

He Yu asked excitedly:

"Really?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Of course it's true. The reason I didn't buy it for you before was because you're not tall enough, and it would be dangerous for you to ride a bicycle."

These past two years you've been practicing martial arts, and with proper nutrition, you've grown taller and can ride a bicycle, so naturally we bought it for you.

Anyway, my brother isn't short of money!

Nangong Yan rolled her eyes and muttered to herself: "What a rich bastard."

Of course, Nangong Yan knew about He Yuzhu's background. Although she envied him, she wasn't jealous at all.

After all, He Yuzhu's contributions deserve this. There are still many things He Yuzhu invented that haven't received awards yet, and if they do...

There might not be a car, but He Yuzhu will definitely get a motorcycle.

However, He Yuzhu didn't think that much about it. He Yuzhu thought that he had already developed the tank engine anyway.

The car's engine is definitely not the problem; it's just that He Yuzhu is still learning about electronics.

Once you've mastered the electronics, you'll be able to build your own car.

It will be much better than the Jeeps on the market.

Moreover, the shock absorption in modern cars is poor; He Yuzhu has ridden in them many times, and it's incredibly bumpy.

Moreover, current cars don't have power steering, making them very tiring to drive. I'll get myself a small car with power steering someday.

Of course, He Yuzhu didn't say or mention this matter.

After all, bicycles are quite convenient these days, and my place of residence isn't too far from my workplace.

Most importantly, He Yuzhu doesn't want to be too high-profile right now.

After all, Chen Xueru is pregnant now, and He Yuzhu will only start making cars after she gives birth.

No one knew what He Yuzhu was planning, and He Yuzhu had no intention of telling them.
