Niu Liye was so anxious that he didn't care who touched his butt.
Lian Lian said: "It takes two hours to walk to the county. If we don't get on now, we won't be able to get there!"
Qin Zhiping looked at Lu Zhiye sitting on the tractor, gritted his teeth, and dragged Xu Qian to stand between the tractor and the truck bed.
But it’s not easy to stand in this position.
Otherwise, the villagers would have been scrambling to stand here long ago.
You don't have to crowd with people.
Lu Chuan picked up the crank, inserted it into the tractor, grasped the crank with his strong arms and turned it hard a few times.
The sound of a tractor rumbling could be heard.
Puffs of black smoke were coming out from the front.
Lu Chuan jumped onto the tractor and the tractor made a buzzing sound.
Lu Zhiye would not put himself in a difficult position at all. He sat sideways on the tractor, enjoying the morning breeze. He felt so comfortable.
When I thought of the miserable appearance of the two people behind me, I felt a little happier.
Seeing Lu Zhiye's comfortable look, Lu Yong secretly followed his example and lay back.
It was just the bump of the tractor that almost made him fall off.
Lu Yong, still in shock, held tightly onto his brother's car seat.
Oh my god, it’s so scary!
By the time the tractor arrived at the county, everyone was looking a little dusty.
Niu Liye and his friends were squeezed out.
Qin Zhiping and Xu Qian had their faces covered with dust raised by the tractor.
Qin Zhiping's white shirt was covered in dust, and even his face was not spared.
Xu Qian's brand new blouse was covered in dust, and her shiny pigtails looked the worst.
Qin Zhiping was brushing the dust off himself when he heard sobbing behind him and then he remembered Xu Qian.
He quickly turned around and asked, "Qianqian, are you okay?"
But when I saw Xu Qian's appearance, I was really shocked.
Oily hair naturally attracts dust, and now, Xu Qian's two lines of tears left two white marks on her face.
Niu Liye also jumped out of the car: "Qin Zhiqing, Xu Zhiqing, you guys... my dears!"
Niu Liye took a step back suddenly.
He held his little darling and shuddered.
Wen Sihe saw Xu Qian's miserable appearance and pulled Wu Yu away quickly. After a while, Lu Zhiye heard the silver bell-like laughter of two girls not far away.
Qin Zhiping took out his handkerchief and said to Xu Qian, not wanting to look directly at her: "Qianqian, let's find a place to wash up."
When Xu Qian saw that everyone was trying to hold back their laughter, she immediately felt something was wrong.
He quickly covered his face with a handkerchief and followed Qin Zhiping.
Lu Zhiye went directly to the black market, still the old location.
Sat in the courtyard and drank a few sips of tea.
Lu Zhiye saw Xiaoqiang rushing over from outside.
As soon as he saw him, Xiaoqiang was like seeing his real father: "Brother, you are my real brother!"
Lu Zhiye quickly reached out to stop the arm that he was about to hug.
Some took a step back speechlessly: "Did you just eat garlic?"
Xiao Qiang scratched his head: "Well, what's the point of eating dumplings without garlic!"
Perhaps knowing that there was a strong smell of garlic in his mouth, Xiaoqiang picked up the tea and took several sips.
Then he said to Lu Zhiye: "The last time you gave me a batch of grain, I listened to you and didn't sell it right away. I sold it all in the last few days, and the price has doubled to this amount!"
He made the number three gesture.
Lu Zhiye took a sip of tea and indicated that he understood.
The price has tripled. The rice that originally sold for 35 cents now sells for more than one dollar.
This was within Lu Zhiye's expectations.
Moreover, the people who bought this batch of grain were either rich or noble, and they could all afford it.
"There will be another batch of food in two months. Do you want some?"
Lu Zhiye's voice was so low that it was impossible to tell the emotion in it.
Xiao Qiang slammed the table and said, "Yes! Let me tell you, my brother praised me a lot! He said that the food will be completely handed over to me from now on. Brother Lu, I can eat as much as you bring."
Lu Zhiye's eyes were gloomy, and he said softly: "I can give it to you, but there is a condition."
"What?" Xiaoqiang looked at Lu Zhiye's appearance and his heart was lifted.
"According to the normal black market price, for example, if the grain station sells it for 20 cents, you can't sell it for more than 50 cents."
Xiao Qiang hesitated, and asked anxiously, "Brother Lu, what's going on?"
After this period of contact, Lu Zhiye discovered that although Xiaoqiang and Qiangye were doing black market business, they were both people who did things with principles.
For example, the price of things on the black market is usually one to three times higher than that of supply and marketing cooperatives.
Master Qiang was able to keep their force level down to a little more than double.
They won't ask for an exorbitant price. They are also very loyal.
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhiye said, "Grain prices have been rising recently. You should know the reason."
Xiaoqiang nodded. They had an almost mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with the Revolutionary Committee.
The existence of the black market has been tacitly accepted.
After all, the supply is limited, so what can people do if they don’t have enough to eat? They can only go to the black market.
If there were no black market, people’s food, clothing and daily necessities would become a problem.
That's the biggest problem.
So Xiaoqiang and the others also received some information from the Revolutionary Committee recently.
There was heavy rain during the autumn harvest some time ago, affecting many places.
This led to a small number of people learning the news and coming to buy grain in advance.
Lu Zhiye kept tapping his fingers on the table.
“Brother Xiaoqiang, you know that food prices may rise very quickly by then.
The price I offer you will not exceed three cents.
That’s the only condition.”
According to Lu Zhiye's understanding, there are three black markets in the entire county, two of which are managed by Qiang Ye and his team.
