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 213 Packing Up

This trip to the Northeast is still very dangerous.

Zhang Weiguo must be fully prepared.

Reject all accidents and consider everything carefully.

Prepare more things just in case they come in handy.

The weapons were also properly adjusted, the guns were loaded with bullets, and the necessary maintenance was done.

Don't wait until you need it and run out of bullets, otherwise you will waste your time.

I thought there was nothing I could bring, so I prepared everything.

Zhang Weiguo prepared a separate bag for his belongings, which contained some daily necessities.

This is just for show. Most of the things are in the space, but if you don’t bring anything with you, how can you get things out?

With this bag, even if you have an excuse, you can still take out some small things.

There were some steamed buns, a bottle of pickles, and six salted duck eggs in the bag.

I’m worried that there won’t be any food for sale on the train, and I’ll have nothing to eat.

I guess there will be people selling food. It will take several days to get there at such a long distance.

What would we eat if there were no food vendors?

Many things can’t be kept for several days now.

Maybe the food they sell is not tasty, or maybe it’s too expensive. Both are possible.

Zhang Weiguo thinks it is normal for things to be more expensive. No matter what era it is, the things sold on the train are more expensive than those sold below.

They make money from this, many staff members sell this, their job is to sell things.

Moreover, selling things is relatively easy. You don’t need to shout at them. Those who need something will speak up on their own initiative.

If you see others buying it, you will buy it too.

It is relatively easy to sell things on the train, especially beer and melon seeds.

Drinking beer on the train is a very comfortable thing.

Zhang Weiguo just wanted to have boxed lunches and beer on the train.

I wouldn't even ask for roast chicken or roast duck.

When Ran Qiuye came back in the evening, Zhang Weiguo told her about his plan to go to the Northeast.

Ran Qiuye was still a little worried, as the Northeast was notoriously unsafe.

Very unfriendly to outsiders.

"It's okay. I won't be going alone. The factory will arrange for ten security guards to go with me."

"I will pay attention to safety and will not go to dangerous places."

Zhang Weiguo talked for a long time before Ran Qiuye agreed to let Zhang Weiguo go.

"This time it will probably take ten days or half a month, so please stay safe at home."

"If you don't want to live here, you can stay at your parents' house for a few days."

"If you can avoid getting involved in this Siheyuan affair, then don't get involved. Nothing good will come of it."

In this courtyard, Jia Zhang was punished to sweep the floor, which gave her a lot less to do.

It's a lot quieter now, with a lot less things going on.

Without the Jia Zhang family's courtyard house, there would be a lot less trouble.

But it's not so easy to make this old guy quiet down.

You never know when this old guy will cause trouble.

Had a meal with Ran Qiuye.

In the evening, Zhang Weiguo went to Scar's pigeon market again to see how Scar was doing recently.

Is anyone looking for Scar?

Ever since Scar asked his younger brothers to go to other pigeon markets to sell food, no one has been trying to target Scar anymore.

One reason is that there are too many people selling grain and Scar cannot control them all alone.

Another thing is that Scar has a lot of subordinates, and if you cause trouble for Scar, you don't know who will suffer in the end.

Others were not sure they could remove Scar, so they would not bother him.

This is a thankless task.

"I'm going to the Northeast soon, which will probably take more than ten days. How long will your remaining food last?"

“There will be no problem selling it for another month and a half.”

"As long as there is enough food to sell, that's fine."

"If you have anything to say, wait until I come back and talk to you. I don't think anyone will bother you recently."

Scar gave the money he earned from selling grain to Zhang Weiguo.

"I'll bring you some Northeastern ginseng when I come back."

This is good stuff.

If you can find a large amount of ginseng, you can bring it back and sell it.

If we bring this thing back and sell it, it will definitely be popular.

There are so many things that are very popular, ginseng, deer antlers, and mink fur are all very famous specialties.

Not to mention selling them, even getting some back to give to others would be fine.

Zhang Weiguo had a hundred-year-old ginseng, but he was reluctant to use it and wanted to save it for future life-saving purposes.

This thing is hard to find, don't wait until it's gone when you need it.

Zhang Weiguo returned home and had a good sleep. He would probably leave tomorrow.

Sleeping on the train is uncomfortable.

Because there are no sleeper berths on current trains.

Everyone slept in their seats, in the aisles, or under their chairs.

As long as you can lie down, you can sleep.

Put a piece of newspaper under the chair and you can lie down under it.

The next day, Zhang Weiguo got up, had dinner and went to the steel rolling mill.

I found Director Zhang and the ticket has been booked for this afternoon.

It's time to get ready to go.

Zhang Weiguo went to the purchasing department and called two people to ask them to prepare.

Then, Zhang Weiguo came to the security department. One of them was to take five people away, and the other was to take a gun.

They all carried pistols, each with fourteen bullets.

Zhang Weiguo selected five people and asked them to get ready and pack up the things that needed to be packed.

After lunch, we gathered in the third section of the Purchasing Department.

Zhang Weiguo took his people away, and the affairs of the Second Purchasing Section were no longer under his jurisdiction.
