The third uncle was extremely worried early in the morning.
He has a large family and he doesn't have any food coupons, so he can't buy food even if he has money.
When I saw Liu Xiaojun coming out of the door early in the morning, I immediately stopped him.
"Xiaojun, Xiaojun, don't leave yet. Give Uncle San a suggestion. How can we get food?"
When Liu Xiaojun heard this, he didn't look at what the third uncle said. Instead, he set his eyes on the row of flower pots at the door.
I touched my chin. There were two pots of jasmine flowers in full bloom. If I took them home, I could put them by the window and smell their fragrance.
When the third uncle saw Liu Xiaojun's eyes, he knew what he was thinking.
So he had to grit his teeth and stamp his feet, and handed the two pots of newly planted jasmine to Liu Xiaojun.
"Xiaojun, if you can give your third uncle some advice, let alone two pots of jasmine, my third uncle will follow your lead from now on." His face was smiling like tree bark, and time really makes people grow old.
"Come on, Third Uncle, do you call yourself the stingy old Yan for nothing? It's good enough if you can give me two pots of jasmine first." Seeing Third Uncle handing over two pots of jasmine, Liu Xiaojun took them immediately without thinking.
Only when it is in my hands will I feel at ease.
After all, this guy, Uncle Three, has not broken his promise once or twice.
"Then, my food coupons?" Seeing Liu Xiaojun accept the flowers, the third uncle immediately moved closer and looked at Liu Xiaojun like a chicken thief. If you didn't know, you would think that the third uncle was guilty.
"As for food, that's easy. Recently, there are often black market vendors coming to the entrance of the alley to trade food. You can buy it there." Liu Xiaojun answered without thinking.
As time went on, supplies became increasingly scarce.
It is harder than climbing to the sky for ordinary people to get some food coupons. As long as the family is not starving to death, it is a good thing.
Of course, except myself.
I now grow all kinds of plants in my space and have slowly stockpiled thousands of kilograms of food, so I can afford to eat rice every meal.
But you definitely can't let other people know, otherwise everyone will come to buy from you, or you will be charged with the serious crime of reselling grain, which will be terrible.
When the third uncle heard what Liu Xiaojun said, he became anxious and jumped up and down.
"Forget it, forget it. You're talking as if you didn't say anything. Don't you think about how much the black market dealers are selling it for?"
"The price of food without food coupons is more than double that of food with food coupons. If I buy it, I will be a sucker!" He spent his money carefully, and he also wanted to buy a TV later.
But you can't go to the black market and waste that money.
When Liu Xiaojun heard this, he laughed!
"You're mistaken. You're looking at the period from 1953 to 1957. When did grain become cheaper?"
"Putting food aside, let's talk about these food coupons again. Are they getting harder and harder to buy?"
"That's true." The third uncle nodded.
"But what does this have to do with buying food from black market dealers?" The third uncle rubbed his eyes and pulled the jasmine flowers with his hands.
"If you don't explain clearly today, don't even think about taking my flowers."
Liu Xiaojun laughed out of anger. He originally thought that the third uncle was an educated and cultured person in the courtyard, so his train of thought would naturally change.
But after talking for a long time, people still didn't understand at all.
Besides, there is no reason to return the flowers I have already got!
So, I said something extra.
"It's hard to get food coupons, and it's hard to buy food. In the future, more and more people will be forced to buy food on the black market. When you want to buy food on the black market, the price won't be the same!"
"When I went to the black market to buy rice a few days ago, it was two yuan per pound, which is indeed twice as expensive as at the supply and marketing cooperative."
"Right now, it's only doubled. As time goes on, everyone will be unable to afford to eat and will start hoarding food. By then, the price of food on the black market will be tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram."
"If you don't buy it now, you won't be able to afford it in the future."
Liu Xiaojun's words were very confident, but the third uncle was skeptical.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaojun continued.
"Just wait. In a couple of days, the price of grain on the black market will go up. So, buy ten kilograms first. When the price goes up in a few days, you can sell it secretly and you will definitely make a profit."
Knowing that the third uncle likes to poke around, Liu Xiaojun gave him a good idea.
Although it is high-risk, as long as you are not greedy, it is still safe to do small things in private.
When the third uncle heard that it could be sold at a high price, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Okay, then I'll try." As he said that, he took away the hand that was holding Jasmine tightly, and then immediately walked out the door, looking like he couldn't wait to go to the black market.
"Go, go." Liu Xiaojun walked towards his room holding two pots of jasmine flowers in his hands.
It’s great that I got two pots of flowers as soon as I went out.
He walked back humming, and suddenly saw Qin Huairu.
It has been more than half a year since the incident between the old man and her, and Qin Huairu has also been gone for more than half a year. Now she suddenly appears in the courtyard, which is so strange no matter how you think about it.
But this has nothing to do with him, and Liu Xiaojun doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.
But when Liu Xiaojun saw Qin Huairu coming out of Sha Zhu's house, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Then I saw a famous character from the original novel - He Daqing!
He Daqing is back?
He slapped his forehead and realized that He Daqing was Sha Zhu's father. He ran away with Bai Guafu just after handing over the chef job to Sha Zhu.
Commonly known as: professional widow!
But unlike the original novel, He Daqing came back at the end of the TV series, but perhaps his appearance caused changes in the world, and it was unexpected that he came back at this point.
But he is back, so why did Qin Huairu come back with him?
Suddenly, an ominous premonition flashed through Liu Xiaojun's mind.
Is Qin Huairu a widow?
He Daqing only fell into the hands of widows?
What about the two of them?
Cao Le!
Qin Huairu knew very well what kind of person he was. He was a person who specialized in making others' families extinct.
Then my brother Shazhu will be in danger?
But even so, Liu Xiaojun didn't think of greeting these two people.
However, when Qin Huairu saw Liu Xiaojun, she looked at him with a complicated look.
This man really makes me love and hate him.
It took her a long time to realize that she had been set up by Liu Xiaojun during the incident with Yi Zhonghai.
I should obviously hate him, and I originally thought that I was filled with hatred when we met this time.
But when she saw him again, Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel a palpitation in her heart.
Just as I was about to go up and talk to him, I wanted to tell Liu Xiaojun that everything was done out of necessity.
But Liu Xiaojun avoided it directly with a serpentine movement.
That was close!
The way this woman looked at him was as if she wanted to eat him alive.
He is totally untouchable!
He Daqing was just closing the door and didn't see what was happening.
Otherwise, he would suspect that he was cheating on him!
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaojun felt a chill all over his body and immediately left the yard.
