Chapter 35 Visit the black market and fight against unscrupulous vendors!
whee.
This touched him, which was great.
Zhao Qianqian secretly said in her heart: "I haven't even started to use the tricks I have to control you. You will be moved in the future."
Zeng Cheng's performance.
Zhao Qianqian felt that she was one step closer to the life of a parasite!
But she couldn't relax.
In the future, I will try harder to please Zeng Cheng and win his favor.
A few years of hard work, a lifetime of happiness!
As long as she can secure her position as Zeng Cheng's wife now, she can get a large share of the property even if they divorce when she returns to the capital!
This is the cowshed in Zhaojia Village.
When Qin Shan carefully came over with two plates of steaming dumplings.
The few people in the bullpen who had dull eyes suddenly regained their luster!
It was as if their world suddenly became brighter, and their faces showed excitement that was hard to conceal.
You know.
In the past, when the Qin family was quite wealthy, dumplings were a common meal for them.
However, things are different now.
Now that they have fallen on hard times, dumplings have become an unattainable luxury, a delicacy that they long for but rarely have the chance to taste.
Seeing these two large plates full of dumplings in front of them, how could they not be overwhelmed with emotion and excitement?
In total, there were a full thirty-three steaming, fragrant dumplings.
There’s actually not much left for seven people to share.
And of course fifty raw dumplings.
They wanted to save some for the New Year and couldn't eat it all at once.
So.
After some discussion and distribution, the strong young men each got four dumplings.
As for the old man Qin Shan, he got one more dumpling because he was a little older, so there were five dumplings in total.
As for the two children who were about ten years old, they received special care and each got six dumplings.
Wait until the dumplings are finished.
One child couldn't wait to take a bite of the meat-filled dumplings.
In an instant.
A rich and mellow aroma of meat spread out, filling the entire room.
That moment.
Whether adults or children, tears involuntarily welled up in their eyes and moistened their eye sockets.
Perhaps it is because these small dumplings contain too many hardships and difficulties of life.
Or maybe it’s because at this moment, everyone felt the warmth of family love!
Anyway, I'm very happy.
This was the first time they had eaten such good food since being sent to the cowshed.
but.
Now Zeng Cheng has contacted them.
Their lives will be better in the future.
The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
I made an appointment with my second cousin today.
Let her come home and bring food.
Three months of coarse grains should be 90 kilograms, but she only had 80 kilograms of coarse grains, so she gave him another three kilograms of rice.
Plus the five pounds of flour and two pounds of meat that were owed for the dumplings that day.
Zhao Qianqian gave it all.
After the second cousin left.
Zhao Qianqian unexpectedly discovered that there was not much food left at home.
And in the future we will have to deliver food to the cowshed.
She also needs to prepare more food after the New Year!
Years ago.
Zhao Qianqian and Zeng Cheng discussed that they should go to the cowshed again to give some New Year's goods to Zeng Cheng's grandfather and his family.
After all, it’s the New Year, so let them eat better.
The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Zeng Cheng and Zhao Qianqian took the village tractor to the supply and marketing cooperative in town to buy things, preparing for the last stockpiling before the New Year.
This was probably the last day the supply and marketing cooperative was open, so there were a lot of people there.
Zeng Cheng saw that this was not a solution.
There is so much to do today.
So Zeng Cheng and Zhao Qianqian discussed: "How about we split up? One person goes to buy medicine, and the other goes to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things."
"Okay." Zhao Qianqian thought this method was very good and gave Zeng Cheng a thumbs up.
It's rare to be praised by my wife.
A blush appeared on Zeng Cheng's face.
After that, the two separated and decided to meet up at noon to have lunch together.
After all, the village tractor returns to the village in the afternoon.
There is a free car.
There was no way they could afford to take a bus or walk back.
As the saying goes: "If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you are a bastard."
When they met up at noon, they went to a state-owned restaurant for a big meal.
Afterwards, the two men put the things on the tractor and planned to go shopping on the black market.
After all, it’s Chinese New Year!
Even though things on the black market are expensive, many things that cannot be bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives without tickets can be bought there.
The black market is originally a secretive place.
Probably because of the Chinese New Year!
Today's black market is like a market. Not only are there many customers, but there are also many stalls.
Because Zhao Qianqian wanted to buy some of the various snacks at the market to try, she and Zeng Cheng brought a lot of bags.
It’s because I bought too many things.
Many people think they are rich, or want to rip them off.
suddenly.
They saw a stall selling New Year pictures, which was hung with various kinds of New Year pictures.
Zhao Qianqian was attracted by a New Year picture of a fat baby holding a big carp. She stopped and looked at it carefully.
Zeng Cheng saw what she was thinking and said with a smile, "If you like it, buy it. It will bring good luck."
Zhao Qianqian nodded.
When they were paying, Zeng Cheng asked, "Boss, how much is this?"
"Two dollars." The vendor smiled ingratiatingly.
Zeng Cheng thought it was a bit expensive.
But the purpose of this New Year is to have a happy occasion, and Zhao Qianqian also wants a child.
This painting looks like it could be used to give her a doll!
But just as he was about to pay, Zhao Qianqian stopped him with her hand: "Boss, I passed by your New Year picture stall this morning. If I remember correctly, you sell them to others for 20 cents, but you sell them to us for 2 yuan?"
"My two distinguished guests, you look wealthy. Besides, we're closing up shop soon and heading home for the New Year. Consider the extra money as a New Year's red envelope for us, to bring good luck, right?"
"Haha... Boss, you really dare to say that." Zhao Qianqian was furious: "Who do you think I am? You just gave me 2 yuan when I asked you to? You are so shameless! Why don't you just rob me openly?"
Zhao Qianqian’s curse was very unpleasant.
Because of the commotion, many customers came over and pointed at the vendors.
The small vendors probably felt ashamed, or were angry that they couldn't make a profit.
"Then the price of my New Year pictures has increased." The vendor said to Zhao Qianqian in a very tough tone: "I won't sell it to you for 20 cents. You want 2 yuan, not a cent less."
There is a reason why he dares to be so tough.
That means he is the only one selling New Year pictures in the entire black market.
Seeing how much her husband wants this New Year picture, he will definitely pay for it in the end.
But what he didn't know was.
Zeng Cheng bought this New Year picture to please Zhao Qianqian.
If buying this painting would cause trouble for Zhao Qianqian, he would rather not have it.
Besides, he doesn't want to be a sucker!
Later they left from the vendor.
Then Zhao Qianqian met a child drooling at the candied haws in his hand.
So she waved at the child and said, "I'll give you 20 cents. Buy me that New Year picture over there, the one with the baby holding a carp, and I'll buy you a candied haws. But don't tell the vendor I bought it. Tell the vendor you bought it yourself."
The child nodded.
He quickly spent 20 cents and brought the New Year picture over.
Zhao Qianqian also kept her promise and bought a candied haws for the baby.
Zeng Cheng really didn't expect that she could do this.
Zhao Qianqian smiled very proudly: "Hehe, didn't you say you wouldn't sell it to me if it was 2 yuan less? In the end, I only spent 20 cents to buy it, hahahaha..."
