When I opened it, I saw that it was indeed dried mushrooms that had been cleaned up neatly.
Su Zheyu put his hand in, checked it quickly, and then went to weigh it.
Then seal it and fill in the address, all in one go.
After paying the postage, Qin Jianye bought envelopes and stamps at the post office and wrote letters to Lu Chengxuan and Wei Xu on the spot.
Then he left with the sack and hid in a nearby alley.
Not long after, Su Zheyu also came out. He looked around and found Qin Jianye's trace.
He ran over excitedly and said in a low voice, "Brother, you really got it!"
Qin Jianye rolled his eyes: "Otherwise, I can still treat the things I promised as nothing!"
Su Zheyu rubbed his hands and said, "That's not what I meant. I just found it quite unexpected."
"Then do you still want it? I heard the county's food shortage has been resolved!"
Su Zheyu was shocked: "How is that possible? At most it's not as serious as before!"
Then he snatched Qin Jianye's grain bag and said, "Yes, yes, yes. How could I not want it? If you still have any, I'll take them all."
Qin Jianye was waiting for this sentence, pretending to be conflicted, which made Su Zheyu anxious.
"Third brother, just say whatever you want to say. With our relationship, there's nothing to hide."
As he said this, he stuffed the money into Qin Jianye's pocket according to the black market price.
Qin Jianye pocketed the money, looked around, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know the black market?"
Su Zheyu was shocked and hurried to stop Qin Jianye from speaking. "Brother, how dare you say anything? Something happened in the black market, don't you know?"
Qin Jianye shook his head and signaled Su Zheyu to let go.
Su Zheyu didn't move. He briefly told him about the black market in his ear, and only let go after he was sure that he had gone in and understood.
"That's a taboo right now. How dare you bring it up? Aren't you afraid of getting arrested?"
Qin Jianye said innocently: "Ah, really? But this bag of stuff came from there!"
"Um, what?" Su Zheyu was shocked: "Brother, what's going on? Tell me quickly!"
Qin Jianye pursed his lips, and after Su Zheyu's repeated questioning, he said that a new grain merchant had appeared on the black market and only sold grain to those who were destined to meet him.
"They're all unprocessed. I guess they're seeds from somewhere, but so what? As long as we have something to eat, that's fine!"
Su Zheyu nodded. "No wonder. This sorghum rice feels so plump. It must have come from some granary."
Both sides left the alley without saying much.
Qin Jianye found an abandoned house to stay in. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, he put on some makeup, made himself look old and ugly, and then went to the black market with a hunched back.
The black market, which was originally empty, now had seven or eight people moving around.
Qin Jianye observed in the dark for a while and found that they were all the people he had seen during the day, at the Agricultural Bureau, asking for food from the leaders.
I could still vaguely hear them talking: "Is there really someone selling food here?"
It always feels eerie.
"Who knows? Let's wait a little longer. With so many of us, we won't be caught up by that dirty thing."
Qin Jianye felt that the voice was familiar, and he looked carefully. Hey, Captain!
He hurriedly pulled up his scarf and swaggered forward to chat: "You want food?"
He deliberately lowered his voice and used some voice changing techniques to make his voice sound old and deep.
Sure enough, Qin Baogen had no doubts and nodded and said, "How much are you selling it for?"
Qin Jianye didn't ask for a high price: "Corn is 1.2 yuan per pound, wheat is 1.5 yuan per pound, soybeans are 87 cents per pound, and sorghum is 79 cents per pound. How much do you want?"
This, this, is so expensive!
Although the price Qin Jianye offered was more than half cheaper than the black market price, it was still out of reach for these old farmers!
"How much do you want? Tell me when you've decided. We'll trade here tomorrow night!"
"This, this is too expensive!" Someone asked: "Can it be cheaper?"
Qin Jianye shook his head: "It's already very cheap! I took a big risk to get this food."
Everyone was silent.
After a while, someone said, "Comrade, we are the team leaders of the production team below. We came here because the team is short of seeds and cannot farm.
Even though they say the problem has been solved, who knows when the seeds will be delivered. Every day of delay in spring plowing can cause significant delays.
Comrade, I know you are a kind-hearted person, can you help me?"
"Lao Xu, stop talking. No one's money comes from the wind!"
Obviously, no one thinks Qin Jianye will be kind-hearted.
Qin Jianye thought about it and offered a compromise: "How about this, you guys use the money to buy food first. When the seeds are harvested, I'll use the money to buy them back?"
"Ah, you're at a disadvantage!"
When a living Buddha suddenly appeared, they were a little panicked.
Qin Jianye tugged at his scarf and said, "If I were to buy it with money, it definitely wouldn't be this price. It should be at least ten cents cheaper per pound of grain."
"Is that so..." I can understand.
As a businessman, he trades things back and forth and makes a profit from the difference.
Several team leaders gathered together to discuss it, and finally decided that it was worth a try.
"Comrade, we country folk don't have much money. This one cent isn't a lot, but it's not a small amount either. Can you please reduce it a little?"
Qin Jianye frowned: "No, I'm not doing charity. Just look at it, take it, don't count it, there is no problem selling the grain."
As he said that, he prepared to leave.
"Hey, comrade, no, no, no, we want it!" It's just a one-cent difference. The most important thing is to be able to grow crops on the land.
Then, a group of people started arguing about how much grain their production teams needed. Qin Jianye raised his hand to interrupt: "I don't have that much. One production team can only exchange for 1,000 kilograms of grain at most."
Qin Baogen thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I want 500 kilograms of wheat and 500 kilograms of corn kernels."
Qin Jianye nodded: "Okay!"
The others were similarly assigned. Qin Jianye arranged a time with them and warned them, "If I find out anyone leaks this information or tries to get something for free, don't blame me for bringing people to smash your production team!"
Everyone nodded and swore to heaven that they would never do that.
Qin Jianye said "hmm" and left.
He jogged all the way to Lao Qin's house.
It was not until I lay down on the kang, my heart pounding, that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, Qin Baogen came to the door with a sad face and pulled Qin Jianye to the wall.
"Third brother, uncle has something I'm not sure about. Can you give me some advice?"
Qin Jianye scratched his head: "Tell me, I want to listen!"
Qin Baogen lowered his voice and said, "When I got home yesterday, Captain Xu from the next-door team said that someone was selling food on the black market..."
Qin Baogen babble on and on, telling Qin Jianye the details of last night.
While speaking, he observed Qin Jianye's expression, fearing that this idiot would report him.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jianye listened calmly and gave serious advice: "Uncle, I don't think that person has any bad intentions."
"How do you say it?"
