Chapter 18 Zitong Brothers
The next day, Yan Yunxi returned home after morning exercise and found her mother-in-law and Mu Jinglan taking Dabao to pickle sauerkraut in the front yard, while her father-in-law and Mu Jingwen were tidying up the backyard.
Winter was about to come, and there were no vegetables in the vegetable garden in the backyard, only some withered seedlings.
They pulled all of them out, re-arranged the land, and prepared to plant vegetables again in the spring of next year.
She walked over and suggested to her father-in-law Mu Yunqiang, "Dad, let's build a greenhouse to grow vegetables in winter."
"What is a greenhouse?" The father-in-law was confused.
Damn!
There are no greenhouses now? Didn't she let it slip
? It shouldn't be, it's just not popular.
Yan Yunxi forced herself to comfort herself.
"Dad, there is a way to grow vegetables in winter, why don't we try it this year?" She really didn't want to eat only radishes and cabbage for the whole winter.
After hearing this, Mu Yunqiang's eyes widened and his voice broke with excitement. "Is there really such a way to eat vegetables in winter?"
Yan Yunxi nodded, "Okay, but we need to build a plastic greenhouse, buy some plastic sheets, and get some bamboo strips."
"I know where I can buy plastic sheets, I'll go." Mu Jingwen was also very excited, and he wanted to build it immediately and plant vegetables quickly.
In fact, if we can eat vegetables in winter, it would be the happiest thing.
He and Yan Yunxi looked at Mu's father with expectant eyes at the same time, waiting for him to make a decision.
This matter was really a fantasy for Mu Yunqiang. He had never eaten green leafy vegetables in winter in all his years.
But since he felt that Yan Yunxi seemed to have changed into a different person, he inexplicably chose to believe Yan Yunxi, and always felt that what she said would definitely come true.
In fact, she should have experienced it all.
After figuring it out, Mu Yunqiang stopped hesitating and said to Mu Jingwen very happily, "Go, get money from your mother, get more money, ask your sister-in-law how much she wants, and then ride your bike to buy it."
"Okay!"
Mu Jingwen ran happily to the front yard.
Yan Yunxi returned to the room and used her consciousness to find the information related to planting in the space, and finally found the method of greenhouse planting.
According to the calculation method, she calculated the size of the plastic sheet needed for the land in the backyard and gave it to Mu Jingwen.
Then she copied the methods of building and planting in the greenhouse in detail on a piece of paper.
"Dad, look, we still need to build a circle of fire walls along the greenhouse." She handed the paper to her father-in-law.
"That's easy. We have plenty of adobe bricks at home. Let me take a look first. Let's try to eat vegetables this year." Mu Yunqiang was still full of expectations.
At least he didn't have to stay at home every day like every year. Having nothing to do would suffocate people.
After doing all this, Yan Yunxi went to the front yard to pickle vegetables with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. She also wanted to pickle some spicy cabbage to change the taste.
As for the greenhouse vegetables, they were handed over to her father-in-law and brother-in-law.
Don't ask, she wouldn't understand even if she asked, so let them do it themselves.
...
That night, at the same time, Yan Yunxi appeared in front of Dong Dahai in men's clothing again.
Dong Dahai's state was completely different from yesterday. His eyes were full of expectations and yearning for the future, as if it would be realized in the next moment.
"Little brother, come on, come in!" He pushed open the door behind him and welcomed Yan Yunxi into the yard.
He really admired this little brother. Yesterday he said that the black market in the west of the city would disappear. Today, not only was there no one shipping goods in the west of the city, but even the people collecting fees at the gate of the black market and patrolling inside were gone.
He also went to Brother Biao's old nest in the west of the city and found that it was empty.
As for the warehouse, he didn't know where it was and didn't go in to look for it, mainly because he didn't dare to go in.
Yan Yunxi looked around after entering the yard. The yard was not big, with three main rooms and two side rooms on the left and right.
The east side room and one of the main rooms were used as warehouses. One of the main rooms was used as a living room and the other was where Dong Dahai slept. He had a total of 15 little brothers, squeezed into the two west side rooms.
Entering the main hall, Yan Yunxi got back to the point,
"Brother Dahai, how are you thinking about it?" Dong Dahai was a celebrity in the black market circle of the county, so it was not surprising to know his name.
"Little brother, I don't know how to call you yet." Dong Dahai was so excited that he forgot to ask for his name.
"Zitong."
Yan Yunxi really couldn't think of a name for a while, but she didn't want her name to appear in the black market.
So she sold her son without changing her expression.
That's how the pit came about.
"Brother Zitong, I've thought about it, and I've discussed it with the brothers. We decided to follow you!"
Just because Yan Yunxi could come up with such good rice, he also believed that they would make a lot of money by following Yan Yunxi.
Dong Dahai didn't know yet that his decision changed his life.
"Okay, my time is limited. Since you have decided to follow me, I will tell you my rules next." There is
no order without rules. Yan Yunxi continued,
"In the future, I will come here every half a month to release the goods and settle the accounts. You will continue to manage the black market, and you should arrange people to go there from the west of the city.
The goods on both sides are basically the same. You can tell me if you have special needs. The shipping prices on both sides must be the same and sold according to my list price. They cannot be sold at a higher price.
The accounts must be done well. Every account must be clear and detailed. I will find you if there is any problem."
"That's no problem, don't worry. I will be responsible for keeping the accounts and money myself. I just don't know what goods we can have."
Dong Dahai was very concerned about the goods and couldn't wait to start selling them right away. He was really anxious because he had no goods left.
"Don't worry about the goods. I have everything you want. Let's talk about the house next.
This place won't work. You should find a bigger yard. It would be best if you can buy it. If not, you can rent one. The same goes for the west side of the city."
She regretted that she forgot to ask Brother Biao about the yard yesterday. His yard was pretty good.
"That's no problem. I actually know a big yard not far from here. That yard is for sale. The old couple wants to sell it and go abroad to live with their son. Why don't we go and take a look tomorrow?"
Yan Yunxi thought for a while, "Okay, then I'll come to see you tomorrow morning. By the way, this is the key to the warehouse in the west of the city. The warehouse is in the backyard of Brother Biao's yard. Your goods are in it. You should sell your goods first in the next few days, and I'll release the goods after the house is ready."
"Okay, okay!" Dong Dahai happily took the key. This brother Zi Tong really did what he said. It was so easy to get his goods back!
"Okay, I'll leave first if there's nothing else. You go and get the goods. I'll come again tomorrow."
Yan Yunxi got up and walked out.
Dong Dahai chased after him, "Brother Zitong, I'll see you off."
On the way home, Yan Yunxi was driving while thinking about why this "Brother Zitong" sounded so awkward. She had to think of a way to get them to call him something else.
She had the illusion that he was calling her son all the time.
When she got home, she had just taken Dabao out of the space when he woke up.
Yan Yunxi:!!!
Did he just wake up or has he woken up a long time ago?
"Dabao is awake," she asked tentatively.
Dabao looked at her blankly, then at the house and the kang.
Damn!
He must have woken up in the space!
"Dabao, are you dreaming? Be good, mommy will continue to sleep with you."
"Yeah, I was dreaming." Dabao was also confused. He was dreaming, right?
