Finally, I went to the black market at the train station. Since the price of watermelons was low, I didn’t make much today. In total, I only made 48 yuan.
Meng Zhiyu changed back into her usual clothes and rode her bicycle to the grove to buy soybeans. They were 1.5 cents per pound. She bought 50 pounds and put them in her space. She then went around and bought 50 pounds of peanuts.
He put a watermelon, ten pounds of soybeans, and ten pounds of peanuts in the backpack. After thinking for a while, he took out two pears.
I was too lazy to go back to cook, so I rode my bike to the state-owned restaurant and ordered rice, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and a bowl of mung bean soup.
It was a little after eleven in the morning, when many people were around. Someone bumped her elbow, and she uncontrollably moved to the side with the plate in her hand.
Just as the stewed chicken and mushrooms were about to fall out, a large hand reached out to hold it. Meng Zhiyu looked up and said, "It's you, Brother Zhou San."
Zhou Songbai nodded, took the plate from her hand, motioned for her to follow, and walked forward.
Meng Zhiyu followed him to an empty dining table. Zhou Songbai placed his plate on the table and said, "You sit down and eat. I'll go get some food."
Meng Zhiyu thanked him and watched him walk into the crowd to queue. Zhou Songbai came back with the food when she was halfway through eating.
Although he started eating later than her, he finished eating with her. When they walked out of the restaurant, Zhou Songbai looked down at her and asked, "Are you going back?"
"Go back." She came back to sell it tomorrow and asked, "Brother Zhou San, what about you?"
Zhou Songbai shook his head, "I have something else to do, you go back first."
Meng Zhiyu nodded, didn't ask any more questions, took out a big apple, stuffed it into his hand, pushed the bicycle and ran away.
Zhou Songbai watched her walk away, threw the apple in his hand, wiped it on his body, took a bite and walked forward.
He returned to the educated youth's yard through the back door, returned the bicycle to Li Tingman, and gave her the two pears in the backpack as a thank you gift.
"I also bought a watermelon and chilled it in water so we can eat it together later."
After taking a shower and changing clothes in the thatched hut, I lay down on the kang to rest. After taking a nap for a while, I continued to assemble the bicycle.
"Ding ding ding" There was a knock on the door. Meng Zhiyu eagerly clapped her hands and went to open it. Outside was Mu Ziwei, Jiang Zengzhi, and Song Guangye. "Sister Zhiyu, we caught a pheasant and a rabbit in the mountains. Let's eat them together tonight."
Meng Zhiyu looked at the lifeless pheasant and rabbit in his hands and nodded happily, "Okay, okay, I have a watermelon, let's eat together later."
Mu Ziwei nodded happily, then went to knock on other people's doors. Li Tingman and Li Qingqing each took out some vegetables.
As the sun sets, the backyard is filled with the charming aroma of meat. Meng Zhiyu and a few others gather in the backyard, each holding a piece of watermelon and chewing it.
Li Qingqing sucked the juice of the watermelon and said, "Zhiyu, where did you buy this watermelon? It's so sweet!"
Jiang Zengzhi nodded, "Yes, it is indeed very sweet."
Meng Zhiyu was vague, "Didn't I just buy it in the county town?"
Seeing this, Mu Ziwei chuckled, "Oh, I know where you bought it from."
Li Tingman also understood, "Xiaoyu, be careful when you go there next time."
Buying things on the black market is convenient, but also dangerous.
"I know, don't worry." Meng Zhiyu naturally knew that the black market was not safe, but if you want to make money, you have to take risks.
The main reason is that she has space. If someone comes to catch her, she can hide in it when no one is paying attention.
For lunch, they had chicken stewed with mushrooms. Meng Zhiyu was not that hungry for chicken, so he ate two more pieces of rabbit meat.
They were eating contentedly here, but Zhao Shuanglian in the front yard smelled the aroma of meat brought by the wind and felt very uncomfortable and unfair.
