Chu Tian waved his hand generously, "Hey, no need to thank me, we have known each other for such a long time, I helped you if I could, and besides, it's not like you didn't pay me."
After a pause, Chu Tian asked again, "By the way, where's Brother Gang? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Xu Fei was also puzzled when he heard this. Normally, he would come within ten minutes of being called. "That's right, why hasn't he arrived yet? How about I go look for him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open. Chu Tian looked back and saw Li Gang coming back with a big clay pot.
Sun Weiguo, who had been quiet the whole time, pulled Chu Tian's sleeve and said, "Brother Tian, Brother Li Gang is back."
Chu Tian said "hmm", "I'm not blind, I saw it."
He stood up and greeted Li Gang who was approaching, "Brother Li Gang!"
Li Gang stepped into the main hall and nodded towards Chu Tian and Sun Weiguo with a smile, "Brother Chu, are you back from driving?"
Chu Tian smiled and said, "Yes, I can rest for a few more days now that I'm back."
Li Gang nodded, put the can on the table, and sat down. "Why? What good stuff did you bring with you on this trip?"
Chu Tian pointed at a few sacks on the ground and said, "I brought back some sheep from Hami! I put them in the ice cellar at home last night and they haven't thawed yet. Brother Li Gang, do you want to take a look?"
"have a look."
As he said that, Li Gang stood up and walked to the sacks. Without Sun Weiguo's help, he opened the sacks himself. Seeing that there was a sheep in each sack, and six sacks meant six sheep, he nodded.
“Brother Chu, how are you going to sell it?”
Chu Tian smiled and said, "Let's do it as before and count the whole thing!"
Li Gang nodded, "Then let's continue to buy them at 85 each as before?"
Chu Tian nodded, "Okay, let's go with this price!"
Chu Tian also made a lot of money at this price. He and the herdsmen exchanged 20 kilograms of flour for one sheep. Now on the black market, 20 kilograms of flour is only more than 30 yuan, less than 40 yuan. But if the herdsmen took the sheep to the butcher shop to sell them, they could only sell one for 30 or 40 yuan. However, the money they got could not buy 20 kilograms of flour. Well, probably not even 10 kilograms.
First, he had no food coupons, and second, the place where he exchanged sheep was very far away from Hami city, so it seemed that Hami was closer to Kouli, but the transportation where they were located was less convenient than in Urumqi, and the price of food on the black market was much more expensive than in Urumqi. No, it should be said that everything was more expensive than in Urumqi.
Therefore, those herdsmen thought it was more cost-effective to exchange with him, so every time he went there, they would generously exchange with him.
Li Gang counted out five hundred and one and handed it to Chu Tian. After thinking for a while, he handed a watch ticket in his pocket to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian looked at the watch ticket in front of him and raised his eyebrows, "Brother Li Gang, what are you doing?"
Li Gang smiled and said, "I didn't spend any money on this ticket. Didn't I hear you ask a while ago if you could exchange it for a watch ticket? I'll give this one to you!"
Chu Tian thought about it and took it without any hesitation, saying with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."
Li Gang waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. When you come back from your work in the future, just give me some more supplies."
"no problem!"
Chu Tian rarely sells the supplies in the space now. Every time he drives his car, he will exchange or buy a lot of local supplies. For example, when he goes to Hotan, Ruoqiang, and Kashgar, he will exchange for red dates, walnuts and the like. When he goes to Turpan and Shanshan, if the season happens to be autumn, he will exchange a lot of raisins, grapes, and watermelons from the Uyghurs. When he goes to the place where Kazakhs gather in the Altay region, he will exchange for dairy products, beef and mutton. When he goes to Yining, he will also exchange for beef, mutton and honey... go...
I would exchange whatever I could, and after exchanging it, I would no longer be in a rush to sell it like before. I would only give away a small portion at a time, letting them know that they wanted it, but they couldn't buy it on the black market, giving people a feeling that it was very scarce...
In short, because of his limited sales, he has now saved up more than 80,000 yuan in savings, of which 70,000 yuan is unknown to Yao Xiujuan. It is not because Chu Tian does not trust Yao Xiujuan, nor is it because Chu Tian is on guard against her, but because the amount is really too large in this era. Chu Tian is worried that Yao Xiujuan will inadvertently say it out loud one day, and it will be known by someone with ulterior motives, and then it will be all over.
After all, when Yao Xiujuan found out that her family had more than 10,000 yuan in savings, she was shocked and at a loss.
They chatted for a few more words, and just when Chu Tian was about to say goodbye, Li Gang slapped his head fiercely, "Oh, don't leave yet, I forgot something."
Chu Tian wondered, "What's going on?"
Li Gang smiled and said, "Jewelry, you don't want it?"
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Collect, collect!"
Li Gang laughed and looked at Xu Fei, "Xiao Fei, help me get the bag from under my bed!"
Xu Fei nodded, quickly brought over a bag and put it on the table.
Li Gang opened the bag and poured everything inside onto the table, motioning to Chu Tiandao.
"Look at these, what do they look like?"
Chu Tian looked over and found that what Li Gang received was very different from the previous times. They were all small pieces of jewelry, a few jade peace buckles, Guanyin, Maitreya Buddha and so on, and four gold rings that didn't look very big in weight. Oh, and there were also two gold necklaces!
"Brother Li Gang, please figure out whether to exchange it for money or food. I'll send it to you tomorrow when I deliver the goods!"
After more than a year of driving a sports car, Chu Tian did not receive many jewelry. What he received were basically raw stones such as agate, Hetian jade, golden jade, gemstone light, and sea blue.
Because there are so few landlords and people in Xinjiang, the amount of gold received is also very small. Even if some is received, they are all some old jewelry. As for gold bars, except for the first time I received them from Li Gang, I have never received any more since then!
Li Gang thought for a moment and said, "Is there any oil?"
“Is rapeseed oil okay?”
There is still plenty of rapeseed oil in Chu Tian's space. Xinxin has become picky about food because of Chu Tian. Now she doesn't like dishes cooked with rapeseed oil. She always dislikes the smell. Therefore, they either eat meat oil, peanut oil or soybean oil at home.
Li Gang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes!"
"I exchanged these for three pounds of flour! Just give me three pounds of rapeseed oil!"
Chu Tian smiled and said, "Then you have to give me a container for the oil. I don't have any empty glass bottles at home."
“I don’t have an empty bottle now…”
As he spoke, Li Gang's eyes caught sight of the jar on the table. He immediately picked it up and stuffed it into Chu Tian's arms, saying, "Hey, is this okay? This jar should probably fit!"
Chu Tian looked at the jar in his arms in confusion. He blinked when he saw the sour smell of fermented milk coming out of the jar. "Brother Gang, you even gave me what's inside?"
