Chapter 93 The Tang Family's Three Siblings
Like most people, Su He looked around, but this state did not last long. After a while, a young man with a basket came over and talked to her.
The other party whispered, "Auntie, do you want food? Fine grains, not much left, only ten kilograms."
Su He looked up at him. His face was painted yellow, he wore a hat, and his eyebrows were painted like two big caterpillars. Judging from his appearance and voice, he should be young. She also whispered,
"Yes, show it to me."
Hearing this, the young man looked around and lifted the cloth on the basket, "There's only white flour left, more than ten pounds."
Su He took a look and found the white flour was in good condition, without any lumps or bugs in it.
Su He: "Okay."
The young man said, "There are only ten pounds left. I'll give it to you for twenty-six cents, ma'am. I used to sell it for thirty cents a pound."
Su He: It’s really dark! She sold it for 25 cents per pound last time, what a loss!
"Okay, I'll take them all."
"Do you have rice? I want some more."
The young man immediately asked, "Ma'am, how much do you want?"
Su He held up five fingers.
The young man understood, "Fifty pounds"
Su He nodded, and the young man said, "Not in the past few days, it will take a few days."
"Then give me a guarantee. When it's available, I'll come find you."
The young man thought for a moment and said, "Three days later, Auntie, please come back in three days, still at this place, at 10 a.m."
They were now standing in a hidden corner.
Su He shook his head. "I'm busy this morning. How about three o'clock this afternoon?"
The young man hesitated for a second and said, "Okay."
After counting the money, the two separated. Su He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he put the flour into the space.
Three days later.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su He finished his classes, asked for leave from school, and came to the agreed location. The young man had been waiting for a long time, and his face was gloomy.
"Auntie, you are here."
Su He: "Did you bring it?"
The young man said, "I have brought the lady here. I will take it for you now. Please wait for me here for a while."
After saying that, he turned and left.
About five minutes later, the young man came over carrying a bag of food and said, "Look at me, Auntie."
Su He took a look and saw that the food was very good and new, not stale, so he gave the money.
I also told him that I also wanted white flour, and 50 kilograms of it.
"Auntie, does your family eat fine grains?" the young man asked casually.
Su He waved his hands, "How could that be possible? It was mailed to my children. My two daughters and three sons are all out of town, and only my youngest son is with me."
The young man nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He probably understood.
Over the next month, Su He traded with the young man five or six times, buying a total of 300 kilograms of food.
She had already determined that the other party was a grain seller.
After going around in circles for so long, it’s time to get down to business. It’s another transaction, and Su He said it bluntly, “You don’t sell pork.”
The young man shook his head and said, "Auntie, we don't have any channels."
Su He thought to himself that I was waiting for you to say this, and whispered to her, "I have a channel, do you need it?"
The young man was shocked, "What? Auntie? Where do you have it?"
Su He, "I work in a slaughterhouse. I'm just asking if you need anything. If you want, I can give you some."
"About this number per month." Su He held up a finger.
That guy, "100 jin"
Su He nodded.
The young man said, "Auntie, I can't make the decision. I have to go back and discuss it with my eldest brother."
Su He said yes, and the young man said, "I will give you an answer in three days."
After parting with Su He, the young man quickly sold the goods in his hands and hurried home.
Without even washing her face, she told her eldest brother what happened today, "Brother, should we..."
The young man's name is Tang Zexu, his brother's name is Tang Zeyan, and the two brothers have a sister named Tang Zelan.
Tang Zeyan saw his brother's anxious look and said,
"Go wash your face first, don't scare Lanlan."
Tang Zexu nodded and went to wash his face.
His parents died early, and he and his sister were basically raised by his eldest brother. It was not easy for his eldest brother to be both a father and a mother. The profit from selling grain was little, so it was better for him to sell pork.
He will stop doing this when he has saved enough money. He and his sister will study hard and find a wife for his elder brother. His elder brother is 18 years old this year and he can find a wife in two years.
After Tang Zexu washed his face, he told his elder brother how he met Su He.
"The lady said her husband works in a slaughterhouse and can get some pork."
"I made an appointment with her to meet in three days. I feel it's safe, why don't we give it a try?"
Tang Zeyan was silent for a while, then nodded, "Okay."
This is how Su He's side business started. Xiao Tang's eldest brother was very mysterious. Su He had been doing business with him for several months without seeing him.
But it doesn't matter. As long as the money is in hand, she is happy with an income of 100 yuan a month.
The two Tang brothers were also very happy. They didn't expect that this auntie was so generous. She sold them meat at the price of one piece per pound. What a good auntie!
Time soon came to summer vacation.
It was the system's first half final exam, and there were two chances to draw a lottery. Su He won two very small bottles of 10ml spiritual spring water. Don't get me wrong, this is not for human consumption, but for watering plants.
The instructions say to fill the water first, then water the plants.
Su He filled two large jars of water and poured them on the fruits and vegetables in the backyard.
Gu's mother planted watermelons in the backyard this year. They were grown from the seeds of the watermelons she ate last year that dried up in the sun. There are now several large and small watermelons on the vines. When watering, she deliberately watered those few watermelons a little more.
Su He thought that the watermelon diluted with spiritual spring water would be very sweet.
Maybe because he had done business with her many times, Brother Xiao Tang already trusted her as a partner and asked to meet her.
Su He said to Xiao Tang, "Okay, take me there."
Hehe, she has prepared the system's super killer pepper spray. If anyone tries to harm her, she will spray them and they will faint in seconds!
Tang Zexu led Su He through many twists and turns in the alley and arrived in front of a house. "Auntie Chen, we're here."
Yes, Su He’s nickname in the black market is Auntie Chen.
She nodded and followed him in.
She thought Xiao Tang was at least 17 or 18 years old, but she didn't expect that he was only 14 years old, not a child at all.
She thought that if she didn't have her own reasons, she wouldn't be doing this at such an age.
"Brother, Aunt Chen is here."
Su He followed Xiao Tang into the house and finally met the legendary big brother. However, he didn't look very old, probably only about eighteen or nineteen years old.
Very young.
Tang Zeyan greeted politely, "Hello, Aunt Chen."
Su He smiled amiably, "Hello, hello, you are Brother Xiao Tang."
Tang Zeyan nodded, and Su He looked him up and down.
"Da Tang, how old are you?"
Tang Zeyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this title, then said,
"Eighteen."
Su He smacked his lips and said, "I thought it didn't look big."
The second brother Tang Zexu said, "Aunt Chen, we did this because we had no other choice. If we had a choice, we would definitely not do it."
"Our parents died early, and it was our eldest brother who brought us up." He took the opportunity to brag.
Su He, "Do you have other brothers and sisters?"
The eldest brother Tang Zeyan said, "There is also a younger sister."
Su He nodded, and at that moment, six-year-old Tang Zelan came out of the house.
