The strong fisherman in the courtyard

At least that’s what Liu Haizhong thinks!

Aunt Liu nodded and said, "Then I will spend more time with the Li family in the future."

"There's also the newly moved Wu family. I see they have a pretty good relationship with Director Li, and they're also engineers!"

"This engineer has a very good position in the factory. His family has just moved in, so they don't know a lot of things. If we visit him more often, the Wu family will remember us, right?"

You see, the result caused by the good relationship between the Liu family and the Li family is completely different from that of others. Liu Haizhong even has time to consider the new residents who moved into the courtyard!

Under the impact of this news, other families temporarily chose to ignore the Wu family!

Aunt Liu agreed very much, her eyes full of admiration, "Old Liu, you are the boss in our courtyard! You are always thoughtful!"

"That is!"

This flattery hit the mark for Liu Haizhong. Now he can serve as the uncle of the courtyard house, which can be said to be one of the few highlights of Liu Haizhong's life!

Backyard, Xu Damao's house.

"Oh my god! I never thought that this kid Li Ming has such a relationship with the director of our steel mill!"

Xu Damao said in surprise.

Although Xu Damao is not a formal worker in the steel rolling mill yet, it does not affect what he said at all. After all, it is not a problem for a son to follow in his father's footsteps in this day and age!

Xu Fugui's old face was also full of surprise. He didn't expect that such an honest man like Li Weiguo could have such a relationship!

His connections are the strongest in Siheyuan!

"You have a pretty good relationship with Li Ming now. You can visit him more often in the future. There's nothing wrong with that. It's all good!"

Xu Fugui said calmly.

Although he was surprised, he couldn't show it. As an old father, he had to be cautious in front of his son.

"Yeah, don't worry."

Xu Damao nodded repeatedly. He, Xu Damao, was not stupid. Even if Xu Fugui didn't say it, he would do it.

As long as his relationship with Li Ming is close enough, then Li Ming's uncle is also half-uncle of Xu Damao, right?

Look at Xu Damao's awareness! Most people may not have this. At least some people in Siheyuan have a bad relationship with the Li family. Some can even be said to be enemies!

Chapter 303: Wu Family's Top Target

No matter what the other neighbors in the courtyard thought, the Li family still had a very sweet night.

The next day.

Xu Damao met Wu Qiangguo's family of three at the gate of the courtyard, and he approached them with a shy face to say hello.

"Morning, Uncle Wu!"

Xu Damao appeared in front of Wu Qiangguo with a horse face. After Li Ming's popular science explanation last night, to put it bluntly, Xu Damao is now the number one person that their Wu family is wary of.

But since someone came to say hello, they couldn't just give him the cold shoulder. After all, they had just moved in, and at least for now, Xu Damao had no conflicts with their family.

"Morning to you too, who are you?"

Wu Qiangguo pretended not to know him and said.

"Hello, hello, Uncle Wu, my name is Xu Damao and I am also a resident of our courtyard, in the backyard."

"Also works at the steel mill, as a projectionist."

"Wow, that's good."

Wu Qiangguo couldn't say that he knew Xu Damao completely, but he knew that Xu Damao was bragging.

His father hasn't retired yet, so how could it be Xu Damao's turn to be the projectionist?

Now, besides Li Ming, the only idle person in the courtyard is Xu Damao.

Li Ming did it because of work, but Xu Damao didn’t!

Wu Qiangguo chatted with Xu Damao for a few words and then took the other two members of his family towards the steel rolling mill. As for Yan Fugui, whom he saw going out before leaving, he simply chose to ignore him and pretended not to see him.

Although what Li Ming said yesterday was a bit weird, there is no smoke without fire, right?

Now it's time to go to work again, so it would be nice to have less trouble.

It was not until around nine o'clock in the morning that Li Ming stretched out and got up from the bed.

"Good boy, I really slept until I woke up naturally this time. All the wine I drank last night was not in vain!"

Li Ming made a joke and got up to wash up. Although he had nothing to do that day, he still had to get up and wash up, right?

He plans to go to Qianer Hutong today to check out the situation.

Although they are not allowed to do business on the black market this month, they still have to understand the needs of these old customers, right?

What's more, he planned to take out some smoked meat and bacon from the space today and sell them as the main meat products when the weather gets hot in the future.

After all, there isn't much of a refrigerator in the yard over there, so in the summer this is all they can sell.

At most, I'd get some fresh pork occasionally and then sell it as soon as possible.

. . . . . .

Qianer Hutong.

Li Ming strolled to the entrance of his courtyard house and looked around privately. There was no one around. He then took out the smoked meat and bacon that he had stacked in advance from the breeding space and piled them in front of the door.

A total of 200 kilograms. There is one thing that makes Li Ming very satisfied with people like Wang Da, Wang Er, Ma Hua and Niu Zhuang, that is, they never ask questions that they should not ask.

That's why Li Ming was able to use a trick to bring all the grain and meat here.

"Dong dong."

Less than two minutes after the knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside.

"Wow, open the door, you four are still together?"

Li Ming looked at the brother and sister Wang Da, Wang Er and Niu Zhuang in front of him with a smile.

"Okay, that's great, move the meat in quickly."

Li Ming pointed to the smoked meat at his feet.

"Okay, then you take a rest and leave the rest to us."

Niu Zhuang had a happy look on his face and started to move the things after he finished speaking.

After the three of them put the smoked meat away, Niu Lili brought them some tea.

"Drink some water."

Niu Lili brought them each a cup of hot water.

"Good boy, Brother Li, you're pretty fast at making this meat! I remember I said it wouldn't take long last time."

Wang Er picked up the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Well, this is our own business, do you think I should pay attention to it?"

Li Ming patted the bacon with a smile, "By the way, do you know what the price of this meat is now?"

"Now the boneless ones with skin are going for two yuan, and the packed ones are starting at two yuan and a half per pound."

Niu Lili said it without thinking.

As a member of the team, she is specifically responsible for the statistics of money and grain, and is well aware of these matters.

Li Ming and a few others looked at Niu Lili in surprise. They couldn't have imagined that a girl in her teens could handle these things so efficiently.

It really opened their eyes!

"Okay, Lili, you did a great job, little girl. You will be our full-time employee from now on!"

Li Ming smiled and touched Niu Lili's head, praising her generously.

Niu Lili nodded happily. For her, she didn't care much about how much she could earn in a month. After all, their family had enough food and drink, right?

On the contrary, it was Li Ming's praise that made the little girl feel more benefited.

"That's a must!"

"Then Lili, can you calculate for us how much we can get for this meat?"

"Is there any need to calculate this? According to the lowest price on the black market, it starts at 500. If we sell them individually and sell them slowly, the money can go up even more."

"Good, good, Lao Niu, look at your sister!"

Li Ming looked at Niu Zhuang with disdain. This old Niu only had strength, but when it came to thinking, he was really not as good as his sister.

"Hey, it's okay. I have my sister."

Niu Zhuang said nonchalantly.

"Okay, let's go to the main house. I'll cook today and prepare food for you later."

"But before that, I still need to ask about our recent business situation."

. . . . . .

Main house.

"Then tell me, although this month's black market business has been affected by that idiot Jia Dongxu, let's talk about the situation of our big customers."

Wang Da and Wang Er looked at each other, and then looked at Niu Lili together. There was nothing they could do. They could only count on this girl at this time.

Each of them could say a little, but it was obvious that no one could make it clear.

Li Ming looked at this scene speechlessly, "Then you three get out! Go cook some dinner!"

"Hey, I'll go right away."

"I'll go too."

"I'm going to buy some prepared food."

Li Ming's eyes twitched as he listened. "Come on, Lili, you should tell the story."

Niu Lili was also laughing because of the other three people. After hearing what Li Ming said, she couldn't help but nodded.

"Okay, Brother Mingzi, I'll give you a report then!"

"it is good."

Li Ming was quite satisfied with Niu Lili. He had thought that she was doing it for Niu Zhuang's sake. Besides, it would be a good opportunity to have a little person to liven things up.

My goodness, it was only now that he realized that Niu Zhuang was the one who was left behind because of Niu Lili's face!

Niu Lili’s role now is much more important than Niu Zhuang’s!

Chapter 304 Jia Dongxu returns in disappointment, He Yuzhu shakes the spoon, Secretary Wang

"Okay, we now have eight major customers. On average, three to four of them come to us every month to order food."

Niu Lili started muttering while counting on her fingers.

"Although we didn't set up a stall to sell food at the black market this month, we already have three regular customers who have placed orders for food. We just delivered to the last one a few days ago."

"Each family will basically ask for dozens or even hundreds of tons of food. It's better to make the decision you made earlier, Brother Mingzi."

"These old folks not only have many people in their families, but they are also picky about what they eat. The food we send them every month basically requires more refined grains and meat."

Li Ming nodded. They were definitely rich. Not only that, but they also had a lot of good things. At that time, the food and drinks of this group of people were all the best. Although the times have changed, the mouths of this group of people are still very picky!

Especially those customers who have money at home, they don't lack money at all! In addition, the current environment is short of food, and everyone is in a hurry.

Li Ming estimated that the food they requested every month was not enough to be eaten up, so he thought they would just eat the food that was not easy to preserve first, and then place an order for the next month.

Only in this way can they feel at ease. After all, they cannot be sure how long Li Ming's business will last, right?

"But if we don't sell them this month, the basic income will be slightly less than normal."

Niu Lili concluded, and made a small gesture with her index finger and thumb.

"That's okay. Now that we are being watched, we naturally have to be more careful."

"It will be fine once the storm has passed."

Li Ming stroked the little girl's head with a smile.
