Chapter 169 Prices Doubled
"Damn it! These people are crazy! Judging from the situation, we will all be starving soon!" Wu Zhiren touched his hungry stomach, his face full of resentment.
Gu Jiajie glanced at the two of them, staring at the bags under their feet protected by raincoats: "What did you buy?"
Liu Pingyuan swallowed and said, "I bought rice, flour, and some meat." He hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
Wu Zhiren continued: "It only cost a small amount of money! It's a big deal!"
No matter how calm Gu Jiajie was, he couldn't help but look surprised.
"One hundred dollars?!"
What the hell is this thing he bought? He actually spent a hundred dollars on it!
Before, one hundred yuan could buy three or four bags of rice and thirty kilograms of pork.
But looking at the things under their feet, not even a bag is full.
"Are there many people in Puppet City?"
Suddenly, a light and pleasant voice interrupted.
The three people standing under the eaves looked in the direction of the sound and saw Gu Jin lying in front of the window and the little boy studying at the table behind her.
Liu Pingyuan: "A lot. There are more people buying things, and the number of sellers is less than half of what it used to be."
Gu Jin was not surprised at all to get this answer.
Wu Zhiren bent down and took out a piece of meat that looked to be five or six pounds from the bag and wrapped it in gray paper of that era.
"Jie Zi, take this meat and give it to your uncle and aunt. We didn't buy much, and there were too many people buying meat. When Yuan Zi and I get there, this is all that's left. You guys eat it first."
Gu Jiajie was not polite at all and took the meat directly without even saying thank you.
We are brothers who have shed blood together, and it would be strange if we just say thank you.
He asked, “When are you going next time?”
"In two days, the rain will stop, so we can go there when the road becomes easier to walk on."
These words were said by Liu Pingyuan.
He took out rice and noodles from the bag again.
Gu Jiajie quickly stopped them: "We still have rice and noodles at home, take them home and eat them."
"Is it enough?" "Is it enough to eat?"
Liu Pingyuan and Wu Zhiren spoke in unison.
It’s not that they don’t believe it. It rained for a month and no one went out, so there was not much food left. It’s been almost a month, so it should have been eaten up.
"Yes, Xiaojin bought it from the county before the rain. He is much richer now."
"Okay then, Wu Ren and I will take these back and divide them up."
Liu Pingyuan picked up the bag from the ground, turned around and said hello to Gu Jin: "Let's go."
"Go ahead."
Gu Jiajie put the meat in front of the windowsill and went to see his two brothers off.
When he came back to get the meat, the frown on his brows was still there.
Gu Jin stared at his troubled and irritated appearance and said, "We have meat to eat tonight."
The meat at home was eaten up a few days ago, and the meat sent by Liu Pingyuan and Wu Zhiren was just enough to eat.
Hearing her words, Gu Jiajie raised his head with a slight smile on his face: "I'll give this meat to you today. The meat you cook is delicious."
"no problem!"
Gu Jin naturally took the lead.
Tonight, the Gu family had the rare opportunity to eat braised pork for dinner. The tempting aroma could still be smelled by the several families living near their home even though it was drizzling inside.
"Mom, it smells so good! It smells like meat!"
The boy named Xiaoqi, who lived two doors away from the Gu family, kept biting his fingers and swallowing his saliva.
The adults in the family came out and also smelled the tempting aroma of the braised pork.
They followed the smell and looked towards the Liu and Gu families, guessing which of the two families would come at the right time.
Not only their family smelled the aroma of meat, but even the Liu family who lived next door to the Gu family smelled it.
