Lying Low to Scavenge in the Courtyard

Zhang Weiguo transmigrates to that era of scarcity, a time of lacking clothes and food.

He is a decorated veteran who has been transferred to a position as the head of the purchasing departme...

Chapter 106: Still Strong in Age

Although he was the passive one, he could not withstand the torture from Jia Zhang.

After delivering the chickens, Zhang Weiguo went back.

Xu Damao stewed the chicken at home and closed the door tightly. He was determined not to let anyone in this time.

Xu Damao secretly drank chicken soup at home alone.

After dinner, Xu Damao went to the pigeon market again to see what vegetables he could buy.

Xu Damao bought some radishes, potatoes, cabbages, and ten kilograms of rice.

The next day, Jia Zhang got up early to queue up to buy pork.

Jia Zhang took out all the meat coupons in his house, totaling two kilograms of meat coupons.

In the past, when Jia Zhang got married, she had nothing at all. This time, she wanted to prepare a nice banquet.

Jia Zhang still attached great importance to this marriage.

Jia Zhang bought two kilograms of fat meat.

At this time, fat meat is much more expensive than lean meat.

Fatty meat tastes delicious, but lean meat does not taste as delicious as fatty meat.

While Jia Zhang and Xu Damao were preparing for their wedding, the others were waiting for the banquet.

The wedding day finally arrived, and Sha Zhu started getting busy early.

Each household contributed two people, and a total of four tables were set up.

The third uncle was sitting behind a desk keeping accounts early in the morning.

The gift money in this era is usually only fifty cents.

Zhang Weiguo came to the table and looked at other people's gifts, most of which were fifty cents.

An old man gets ten dollars.

The second uncle’s is five dollars.

The third uncle is one dollar.

Sha Zhu gave back five dollars.

Zhang Weiguo also gave five dollars.

That’s twenty-six yuan. I guess these four tables of banquets cost less than twenty-six yuan.

Ran Qiuye didn't come, but there are two little girls at home.

These dishes are not as good as the ones Zhang Weiguo eats at home.

Jia Zhang and Xu Damao were very happy. They were talking and laughing, and they were probably really happy.

In order to ensure Xu Damao's happy life, Zhang Weiguo specially gave him two bottles of tiger bone wine.

After all, it’s the wedding night, and Jia Zhang can’t let her not enjoy herself.

Xu Damao's body is almost broken. If he doesn't take good care of himself, he will not be able to withstand Jia Zhang's torture.

Zhang Weiguo decided to find the Taoist priest again and give Xu Damao another pill.

At least Jia Zhang, who has been a widow for many years, should be given some comfort.

Zhang Weiguo decided to go after dinner.

Since there was quite a lot of meat, I made two meat dishes.

Zhang Weiguo gave Xu Damao two bottles of tiger bone wine.

Xu Damao was very excited. This was exactly what he needed. Ever since he drank the tiger bone wine, he knew the benefits of this wine.

In the past, when Zhang Weiguo gave Xu Damao a jar of wine, Xu Damao drank half of it himself and gave the other half to Xu Fugui.

He had finished his drink long ago.

He has to drink these two bottles himself and can't give them to anyone else.

Others asked Xu Damao what kind of wine this was.

Xu Damao just said, this is good wine.

He didn't say anything else.

Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, but Zhang Weiguo didn't eat much.

After dinner, Sha Zhu started making a fuss in the bridal chamber and was dragged away by an old man.

Zhang Weiguo went straight to the Taoist priest.

This Taoist priest has not made any income recently and no one comes to him for fortune-telling.

I was very excited to see Zhang Weiguo.

Zhang Weiguo gave him ten yuan directly.

Let him sell another one to Xu Damao.

Other people in the courtyard can do the same, including Shazhu, the first uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle. As long as they sell one pill to them, Zhang Weiguo will give them ten yuan.

The Taoist priest immediately became excited and insisted on selling two pills to each person.

That's a hundred dollars.

With this hundred dollars he won't have to worry.

He immediately carried his things and ran straight to the courtyard.

Waiting outside the courtyard for someone to take the bait.

The first person to arrive was Xu Damao. When Xu Damao saw the Taoist priest, he immediately saw his savior.

I must buy one of the pills from last time no matter what.

The Taoist priest was very happy, but did not show it on the surface.

He said very mysteriously that he had the thing, but the price was just a question.

Xu Damao understood immediately, took out ten yuan and said, "Ten yuan a pill."

The Taoist took ten yuan and gave one pill to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao ran back happily.

Xu Damao's transaction was seen by the third uncle. He saw that Xu Damao was acting mysterious and was very happy about what he bought.

It must be something good if it's so mysterious.

The third uncle came up and asked, "What did Xu Damao buy?"

The Taoist smiled mysteriously: "Immortal elixir."

What?

The third uncle was completely stunned.

Although he is an elementary school teacher, he still believes in ghosts and gods.

"What does it do?"

"Then it has many uses, it can extend life and help men regain their virility."

Even for an old man like Uncle Sanda, he couldn't resist such temptation.

"How much?"

"Ten dollars a pill."

The price of ten yuan made the uncle feel very painful, but he couldn't resist the temptation.

The third uncle hurried home to get the money.

At this time, Zhang Weiguo came over and asked, "What's going on?"

"Xu Damao has already made the deal, and the third uncle has gone back to get the money."

"It's amazing that you can snatch money from the third uncle. Zhang Weiguo admires you very much."

Zhang Weiguo said, "Wait at the old place."

Zhang Weiguo is gone, and we can’t let others find out that he has anything to do with this.

Soon the third uncle came back with the money.

Gave the Taoist priest ten dollars.

But I gave one pill to the third uncle.

"How do I take it?"

"Take it with warm water."

The third uncle said he understood and went straight home.
