Xiaoqiang looked at him with an expression that said "I understand you", which made Lu Zhiye laugh in his heart.
"I know, I know. How about this? I won't tell Mr. Qiang about this for now. I'll take it myself and wait until everyone has left. Then I'll report to him."
Xiaoqiang has been working with his brother for the past few years and still has a few thousand dollars in his hands.
What's more, his brother recently wanted to develop in the city, so he left many things here to him.
Compared with other collaborators, Xiaoqiang still prefers Lu Zhiye.
After all, there are not many "brothers" who can consider each other.
Lu Zhiye stuffed a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes into his hand.
"Brotherly enough!"
Xiao Qiang smiled so hard that his teeth were showing: "That's right, in our line of work, loyalty is the most important thing.
You treat me as a brother, so I cannot treat you unfairly."
Lu Zhiye gave him a thumbs up and indicated that he was going to the textile factory.
Xiao Qiang said "tsk tsk tsk" a few times. I didn't realize that Brother Lu had connections everywhere.
Lu Zhiye went to Aunt Wang's house.
Aunt Wang has recently let someone else take over her job at the textile factory.
My daughter-in-law had to go back to the factory after her confinement. The baby was too young and needed someone to take care of her. Besides, there was work for her given by Lu Zhiye.
When Lu Zhiye arrived, she was making milk powder for the baby.
Seeing Lu Zhiye coming over, he quickly pulled him over: "Hey, Xiaoye, are you here to deliver something again? Look, how embarrassing it is."
She spoke loudly to let the two families next door know that her relatives were coming.
When Lu Zhiye came, he carried more than ten kilograms of rice and flour in his backpack, as well as four wild rabbits, two pheasants, and more than twenty pheasant eggs. He also had pork and roe deer meat.
Aunt Wang's eyes were sparkling.
Pulled Lu Zhiye into the house.
"Young man, you are here. I have been working on this dress for a long time."
Lu Zhiye smiled awkwardly: "There have been a lot of things going on recently."
Aunt Wang went back to the house and took out all the clothes she had made for him.
"Come, try it and see if it fits you. I used nine feet of cloth to make you a set of clothes. Auntie is taking advantage of you. So I made you a few pairs of shoes and socks."
Aunt Wang had a very pleasant look on her face. Since the young man gave her the meat at a discount, she couldn't be stingy anymore.
Lu Zhiye felt warm in his heart, as if he had lived a second life and had become a little luckier.
"Thank you, Aunt Wang."
There was a sigh in his tone.
Aunt Wang waved her hand and said, "Why thank me? I made you shoes, and I still have some cloth left."
Aunt Wang has been worried every time she goes to the black market these days. She heard that a black market on the south corner of the street was raided by red armband officers and many people were taken away.
She couldn't help but remind him, "The black market on the south corner had an incident some time ago. It's getting serious right now. You have to be careful."
Lu Zhiye nodded: "I have the things in my backpack, take a look at them and see if you want them. I will give you the lowest price."
Aunt Wang was overjoyed: "That's great!"
She reached out to lift the backpack, her eyes suddenly widened: "My goodness, did you get all this?"
Lu Zhiye smiled and said, "I spent a long time trying to get this."
Aunt Wang put it down and asked for two pounds of pork, a pheasant and a wild rabbit.
The rabbit was so big and fat that she drooled at the sight of it.
Aunt Wang glanced outside and said to Lu Zhiye mysteriously, "Do you have any noodles? I have a sister whose two grandsons are eight or nine months old and are about to start eating noodles. All the refined food at home has been given to the labor force.
I wanted to buy a ticket but there were none. She asked me to keep an eye out for it.”
Lu Zhiye motioned for her to reach down.
Aunt Wang flipped to the bottom and said, "Oh, sure, I said you are this!"
Aunt Wang gave Lu Zhiye a thumbs up and looked at the distinct rice grains, thinking that they were even more crystal clear than the rice she had bought recently at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"How much are these?"
Seeing Aunt Wang's generous look, Lu Zhiye said unequivocally, "Rice is 15 cents at the supply and marketing cooperative, I don't need a ticket, 35 cents. As for flour, I have pure white flour, the supply and marketing cooperative is 17 cents, I get 35 cents, you know how expensive flour is now.
The pheasant is almost five pounds. You have been kind to me, so I cannot accept your kindness for nothing. It's one dollar and fifty cents per pound, so you can just give me seven dollars and fifty cents. I weighed the rabbit, and it's three pounds, so you can just give me one dollar and fifty cents per pound.
The pork price is still the same as before."
Aunt Wang did not immediately agree to the price because of Lu Zhiye's nice words.
Her mind was busy calculating.
Lu Zhiye didn't mind. In this day and age, two dollars can buy a pair of shoes. Everyone must be frugal in their lives.
Aunt Wang weighed the pheasant in her hand. Lu Zhiye had already prepared the pheasant, and the internal organs were wrapped separately.
The price Lu Zhiye offered could not be bought anywhere else.
Chickens sold outside require tickets, and they cost 1.3 yuan per pound, and there is still a purchase limit.
Wild rabbits don’t require a ticket, but on the black market, they cost at least one dollar and seventy or eighty cents.
What's more, rice and noodles.
Noodles on the black market are 40 cents, and rice is basically 35 cents.
Lu Zhiye gave this price because he was really grateful to her.
Aunt Wang looked at Lu Zhiye with a touched expression.
Lu Zhiye was a little overwhelmed. Perhaps he had received too little warmth in his previous life. When others were nice to him, he couldn't help but be nicer to others.
Aunt Wang looked at Lu Zhiye sitting there drinking water, and a bold idea suddenly came to her mind.
She ran into the inner room and took out two pairs of cotton shoes that she had made for her own son, the old man.
"Give!"
Lu Zhiye quickly put down the cup, very puzzled: "What is this?"
Aunt Wang put the shoes on the table and said, "These are new ones, the same size as yours, you can wear them.
