Even if she doesn't buy it, someone else will. Besides, she doesn't sell it at a high price. It's enough for her to make a profit of one or two cents.
"Unless the country takes action to rectify this situation, we ordinary people can only worry." Liang Qi thought of the future.
How many Japanese have infiltrated the country? They worry about the common people every day. Those traitors can already control the entire country.
"That's true. There are few people over there, and it's difficult to submit the reporting materials. Besides, every family has enough food, so they won't meddle in other people's business." Xue Yingying sighed.
Then he continued, "If they don't make it available, we can't get it."
Liang Qi stopped chatting.
"Give me three live chickens. Do you have mutton or fish?" Liang Qi looked at the sky and saw that it was already past three in the afternoon.
It gets dark especially quickly in winter.
"We have everything! You know that the goods here are more complete than those in the supply and marketing cooperative." Xue Yingying said proudly.
"I understand, I understand. Hurry up and get your things. I want to go home." Liang Qi said helplessly.
I didn't dare say anything more. This guy was a chatterbox and could talk until dark.
The two came to Xue Yingying's secret base.
Liang Qi was shocked when she came here for the first time. A girl in her twenties could be so thoughtful.
As a result, the child said that it was a project done by her grandfather. At that time, bandits were rampant, and the house was used to prevent bandits from coming down the mountain to rob.
The two storage rooms were dug downwards according to the outline of the main house on the first floor. Liang Qi estimated that the depth was about three and a half meters. The depth and width also followed the main house on the first floor. It has been several years and is still very sturdy.
One room is for raising living things, and the other is for storing goods. Both are filled to the brim and arranged in an orderly manner, making them easy to see at a glance.
It’s not cold to stay down there in winter, which makes Liang Qi very envious. She also wants an underground storage room like this.
In the end, Liang Qi bought three chickens, three pounds of mutton, and three fish, as well as red paper, ink, and a pen. As for the pen, he didn't buy any because he had one left by Liu Zhenhe at home.
I bought some dried mushrooms, but the ones I had at home were not enough, and it was not realistic to go up the mountain to look for them, as they were all covered with snow and were even harder to find.
"Do you have any dried chilies and ginger?" Liang Qi looked around but couldn't find any.
"Yes, it's pressed down underneath." Xue Yingying used all her strength to move the box above.
Liang Qi also saw it. It was ginger, but it was covered with dirt. It was obvious that it was dug out of the ground and packed like this without washing.
Liang Qi bought everything he could, spending a total of twenty-five yuan and sixty-four cents.
"Just give me twenty-five." Xue Yingying said with a smile. A few cents were nothing compared to the hundreds of dollars behind it.
"Okay, then let me know when there's any news about the food. You know where my home is anyway." Liang Qi instructed as he left.
"Okay, I got it. Here! I've put these things in a bag for you. It's convenient for you to carry." Xue Yingying handed the bag to Liang Qi.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Liang Qi picked up the bag and left.
Xue Yingying saw Liang Qi off and met her neighbor Aunt Liu on her way back.
"Oh! Your relative is here to ask for money again?" Aunt Liu said with a squint and a sneer on her face.
"Yes, hey! It's the New Year, and their family is in financial difficulty. We are all relatives, and we can't just stand by and watch them die, right?" Xue Yingying said bitterly.
She could only apologize to Liang Qi in her heart. She never sold her things to people in this alley, and no one knew how many monsters and demons there were here.
It’s better to be cautious. I can only make up a story about a poor relative who always comes to ask for money.
So no one here knows that she is part of the black market.
She wore makeup for every transaction.
"Then you can't give so much food every time. Look at you, you are so hungry and skinny, but you are still helping your poor relatives. Your relatives are living better than you. You are just a fool." Aunt Liu persuaded Xue Yingying earnestly.
I complained in my heart that the child of the Xue family was such a fool. He gave everything to others and didn't even keep anything for himself. He looked like a sickly person all day long.
"I understand. I won't give it to you next time I come, auntie. I'll go back first." Xue Yingying said she was very obedient. Could she let her go home?
"Hey, let's go back."
Aunt Liu shook her head as she looked at Xue Yingying who ran into the house.
After Xue Yingying went in, she reorganized her warehouse. No one knew that there was a storage room in the basement of her house.
On the other side, Liang Qi arrived home carrying a bag of goods.
The little phoenix circled the big bag and cried in surprise, "Mom, something is moving inside!"
"The chickens are moving inside. Mom will cook meat for you later." Liang Qi quickly cleaned up and started cooking. It was getting dark.
"Qi Qi, what are you spending money on again?" Zhang Guishu looked at what Liang Qi took out. This kid spent money again.
"Mom, Grandpa Nie Zheng is here, and I went to town to buy a chicken." Liang Qi said.
"Oh, Xiao Nie's parents are here, so we should prepare." Zhang Guishu nodded.
"Yeah, I'll go cook then."
Liang Qi began to prepare things, and in the evening, Nie Zheng also came back with the old man.
Liang Qi’s last dish was also out of the pot, stir-fried cabbage with vermicelli.
"We're back," Nie Zheng came to the kitchen to help Liang Qi serve the dishes.
"The food is good too. Please bring the one in the other pot that's been kept warm first." Liang Qi asked Nie Zheng to bring the food.
The whole family sat together around the kang table.
The old man also knew that Little Phoenix was his grandson's child, so he was their great-grandson.
"Come here, little phoenix, this is a gift from your great-grandfather." Nie Guo handed the child a red envelope with his hands trembling with excitement.
Along the way, his grandson told him that he had a daughter. After listening to him, he cursed Nie Zheng all the way.
He was given a good lesson. His behavior was completely that of Chen Shimei.
"Thank you, great-grandfather." Little Phoenix looked at the old grandfather with gray hair. Her grandmother had just said that this was her great-grandfather.
"Oh, you're welcome. Why is my little Phoenix so cute?" Old Master Nie held the little Phoenix lovingly.
The little phoenix also sat obediently in the old man's arms.
"Grandpa also bought you a lot of delicious food and clothes." Nie Guo touched his great-grandson's little head and couldn't stop looking at him.
"Thank you, great grandfather," Little Phoenix also felt that this great grandfather really liked her.
"Grandpa, Mom, it's time to eat," Nie Zheng called the two old people.
Zhang Guishu was no longer surprised. When Nie Guo heard it, he just narrowed his eyes. His grandson was not useless yet.
He used to be a quiet person, and he thought that this person was just like that. He didn't expect that he would love the people he cared about as much as the people in their lives.
The child is teachable and can be saved. It seems he will not end up alone.
"Mr. Nie, you're here," Liang Qi also came up with rice.
"When you see outsiders, just call me grandpa like Nie Zheng does," Nie Guo said to Liang Qi cheerfully.
Seeing the old man so happy, Liang Qi did not object and followed Nie Zheng in calling him Grandpa.
Nie Guo looked at the scene in front of him with a smile. This was the scene he had dreamed of before.
Looking at the table, there are cabbage vermicelli, wild mushroom chicken soup, and a large plate of chicken with potatoes.
