Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The black market had a fairly wide variety of species for sale. As he walked around, he saw several more places selling pork, but Wang Feng didn't plan to buy any more. If he did, his wallet would be empty.

After searching the entire black market, I couldn't find any seeds for sale, nor even any livestock like piglets; I only saw some chickens for sale.

Come to think of it, this makes sense. This is the city. Even if some country folk took the seeds to the black market to sell, who would buy them? Who in the city grows crops? As for raising pigs, forget about it.

It seemed that he would have to find a way to get the seeds and livestock by going to the countryside. Wang Feng spent 23 yuan to buy four old hens and one rooster, and then left the black market.

After leaving the black market, Wang Feng stored all the supplies he had bought that night into his spatial storage. He then set up a separate 100-square-meter chicken coop, put the chickens in it, added some corn kernels, and left them to their own devices.

He currently has 16 pheasants, 25 rabbits, and 18 wild boars in his space, including 6 large wild boars, as well as 4 wolves, but he has already killed the four wolves with his fists.

To his surprise, the pig that he had beaten half to death earlier had come back to life, and he had originally planned to slaughter it for meat.

He took out his bicycle and rode all the way back to Nanluoguxiang. He didn't encounter any robbers, which disappointed him. He had originally planned to double-cross the robbers, but he didn't expect the people in the black market to be so honest.

I climbed over the wall into No. 95 courtyard and got home at 5 a.m.

It was almost dawn, and there was no point in sleeping anymore, so Wang Feng took out a novel and began to read it with great interest.

The novels of this era are quite good, with no restrictions, especially some romance novels, which describe very detailed things and keep him excited every day.

Around 7 a.m., Wang Feng put the book into his spatial storage, washed up in the bathroom, ate 15 steamed buns, put on a brand-new Zhongshan suit, and went out with his bicycle.

Arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative at exactly 8 o'clock, just as it opened for business, Wang Feng took out a large stack of receipts, placed them on the counter, and said to the sales clerk:

"Comrade, I want 8 packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, 26 packs of Daqianmen cigarettes, 7 bottles of Moutai, 18 bottles of Lianhua Baijiu, and 6 jin of White Rabbit milk candy."

The sales clerk scrutinized Wang Feng, and upon seeing this, Wang Feng quickly smiled and explained:

"Comrade, it's like this, my younger brother is getting married, and I'm just helping him with the wedding arrangements."

Upon hearing this, the sales clerk checked the receipts and found that everything matched before nodding slightly.

"Wait."

Soon, the salesperson brought over a large pile of supplies.

"A total of 72.4 yuan."

Wang Feng handed over the money and tickets, put all the supplies into the sack, and left the supply and marketing cooperative.

He found an empty alley, stored the supplies in his spatial storage, and rode his bicycle towards Qinjiazhuang in Changping.

After cycling for more than two hours, Wang Feng arrived at Hongxing Commune. After passing through a few more villages, he would reach Qinjiazhuang. Wang Feng rode at full speed, and the bicycle was almost smoking from his pedaling.

Just then, two masked men suddenly emerged from the bushes and blocked Wang Feng's path.

The two men were burly; one held a dagger, and the other a Type 54 pistol.

Wang Feng stopped the car and coldly stared at the two people in front of him.

Although the two men were masked, Wang Feng recognized them at a glance; they were the ones who had stabbed him in the kidneys and chest earlier.

"Kid, I, Lao Liu, have never failed since I started out. I never expected to suffer a loss at your hands. This time, I'll cut off your head and see if you can come back to life!" Lao Liu said coldly, holding a gun.

"Qiangzi, I heard this guy is a good fighter. Go up and stab him in the kidneys first. Don't worry, if he dares to make a move, I'll shoot him dead."

"Sixth Brother, you can rest assured that I'll handle things well."

After Qiangzi finished speaking, he took the dagger and came to Wang Feng's side, stabbing him in the waist.

Wang Feng didn't waste any more words with the two robbers. They were here to kill him, so why bother talking?

Once I've taken them into my spatial storage, I'll give them the Ten Great Tortures of the Qing Dynasty. I don't believe they can withstand it.

Just as the robber's dagger was about to pierce his waist, Wang Feng moved with lightning speed, grabbed the robber's wrist, and directly put him into the warehouse space.

"You dare lay a hand on me? Where's Qiangzi? Die!"

"Bang."

After saying that, Lao Liu immediately fired his gun.

After Wang Feng put the robber into his spatial storage, he knew that the other robber would definitely fire a shot, so he was already prepared.

Before the robber could even fire, he dodged to the side, and simultaneously burst into full speed, sprinting towards the armed robber.

"Bang, bang, bang."

While dodging the bullets aimed at him, Wang Feng opened his storage space and tried to put the bullet inside. Sure enough, as soon as the storage space opened, he put a bullet inside.

Since the warehouse space could collect bullets, what did he have to be afraid of? He didn't dodge or evade, and quickly arrived in front of the robber.

"Bang."

"You...you're not afraid of bullets? You're not human?"

Old Six screamed in terror before being taken into Wang Feng's spatial storage.

Wang Feng doesn't have time to interrogate the two robbers right now; he still needs to go to Qin Family Village to propose marriage. (PS: The protagonist doesn't yet know that the deaf old woman ordered his murder. The robbers can't escape anyway, so proposing marriage is more important right now.)

The area was nearing a village, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Wang Feng quickly rode his bicycle away from the scene.

After passing through several villages, Wang Feng took out two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes, a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, two bottles of Moutai, two bottles of Lianhua Baijiu liquor, a pound of White Rabbit milk candy, two pounds of pork, and a chicken, and loaded his bicycle with all the food before arriving at Qin Family Village.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of Qinjiazhuang Village, we saw Qin Jingru standing at the crossroads, looking around.

"Brother Wang Feng, over here!"

Wang Feng saw Qin Jingru waving at him from dozens of meters away. He rode his bicycle up to her and stopped. Wang Feng patted Qin Jingru's head and asked, "How did you know I would come today?"

Qin Jingru threw herself into Wang Feng's arms, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Brother Wang Feng, I've been waiting for you at the village entrance every day for the past few days. If you don't come soon, I'm going to go to the city to find you."

"Alright, didn't I tell you I'd be here in a week? Come on, let's go to your place."

"Why."

Qin Jingru smiled and nodded, then picked up the sack and got on the back of the bicycle.

"Look, isn't that Jingru?"

"Is that young man in front of us Jingru's boyfriend?"

"Wow, Jingru's boyfriend is really handsome. Look at his clothes, he looks like a government official."

"What nonsense are you talking about? He's a cadre, after all. I heard from Jingru's mother that her son-in-law is the deputy section chief of the steel rolling mill, which is a large factory with tens of thousands of employees."

"I also heard that they gave a bride price of 28 yuan."

"Really? A dowry of 28 yuan? I remember when Qin Huairu married into the city, the dowry was only 5 yuan, right?"

"Anyway, that's what Jingru's mom said, believe it or not."

"You're saying that Qin Huairu only received a 5 yuan dowry when she married into the city, while Jingru received 28 yuan. Both of them married into the city, so why is there such a big difference?"

"Sigh, why don't I have such a good son-in-law?"

"Come on, with your daughter's looks, don't even dream about it. Come on, let's go see Jingru's son-in-law from the city. Are you guys coming?"

"Go, why wouldn't I go? I'll go home and bring the kids with me, and ask for some wedding candy."
