Li Weidong sneaked into the alley again before he managed to gather the five pumpkins that the middle-aged man needed.
He was originally prepared to pay for the remaining two eggs, but the other party refused no matter what. He and his companion called Sixth placed a basket full of eggs in front of him, picked up the pumpkin, and ran.
"Little comrade, do you have any more pumpkin?”
Beside him, someone had already noticed this transaction.
Not far away, there were even people who greedily looked at the basket of eggs.
"No more. It wasn't easy for us brothers to carry five pumpkins. Let's wait until tomorrow. I'll come back then.”
Li Weidong said, picked up the basket, and left.
He did not reveal his wealth and could adapt to it at any time.
Especially in this black market, if he was carrying a basket of eggs, it would be strange if nothing happened.
Therefore, he wanted to slip away before the others could react.
When he turned around and appeared empty-handed, he indeed encountered a few people rushing towards him.
"It's too late. The eggs have already been sent away. I don't even have a penny on me now.”
Li Weidong spread out his hands and even opened his pockets to let the other party have a better look.
Although he wasn't afraid, unnecessary fights were still avoided.
If the other party did not care about martial arts and directly used a brick or a knife, he would be the one at a disadvantage in the end.
They looked at each other at the same time, then one of them left in the direction of Li Weidong. The others didn't say anything, just stood there and looked at Li Weidong.
Ten seconds later, that person hurriedly returned and shook his head.
"Let's go!"
The leader of the group pointed at Li Weidong and turned to leave.
" This is the black market."
Li Weidong shook his head. He had a deeper understanding of this era.
Then, he strolled around the black market empty-handed.
After making sure that there was no tail following him, he quietly turned into the alley where Hou San's house was located.
He took out ten pumpkins from the game storage and piled them at the door before knocking on the door.
"Who is it?"
This time, the voice was familiar. It was Hou San.
"Pumpkin."
Li Weidong replied, and then the door opened.
"Is that all?"
Hou San walked out and looked around. Seeing that Li Weidong was the only one standing at the door with a pile of pumpkins by his feet, he asked.
"Ten. It wasn't easy to get them.”Li Weidong said.
Taking out ten was also the result of his careful consideration.
Last time, Hou San had said that the wheat seeds were priced at fifty cents per catty, and ten catty was five yuan.
And all these pumpkins were worth more than 20 yuan.
After changing the wheat seeds, they could also exchange some flour.
A transaction of this level would probably not be taken seriously by Hou San.
It was even more impossible for him to kill someone for such a small thing.
On the other hand, if he really got dozens or hundreds of pumpkins, the outcome would be hard to predict.
Never test a person's humanity. This was the experience that Li Weidong had summed up in his previous life.
"Alright, let it be a little less."
Hou San said as he helped move the pumpkin into the yard.
It was the same person from last time. He silently took out a scale and began to weigh the pumpkin.
"You came here alone?" Hou San took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Weidong.
It was the kind of cigarette without a filter.
Li Weidong took it and replied," I can't move so many pumpkins by myself. I asked a few brothers to carry them here. I thought you didn't want to see them, so I sent them away first."”
"Yes, it's good to have more people. We can take care of each other. There are a few old cannons who are not well-behaved these two days.”Hou San reminded with concern.
"Don't worry, what's the big deal about a few old cannons? I have a brother who crawled back from the battlefield with a pile of dead bodies. Such a long military thorn, directly putting it in, hehe.”
Li Weidong gestured and replied indifferently.
"Then I'm relieved. After all, you're safe. Our deal will last long in the future, right?”Hou San said.
"Yes, I can't guarantee that there will be more pumpkins in the future, but it won't be a problem for me to get eight or ten at a time.”
Li Weidong waved his hand heroically.
But in reality, he had already made up his mind that this would be the last deal with Hou San.
He didn't even plan to come to this black market.
In the future, if he wanted to exchange for something, he could go to another black market.
Unfortunately, he had just arrived in the city and had no one to use. Otherwise, it would be safest for him to hide behind the scenes.
To put it in words, a gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall.
"366 pounds, I'll give you 370 pounds. I'll still give you six cents from last time, which is exactly 22.20 yuan. What do you think?”
After the other person weighed the pumpkin, Hou San entered the rhythm of discussing business.
"No problem, Hou Ge is generous."
What could Li Weidong think?
Of course, he stood and watched.
"Do you still want the wheat you promised last time? Exactly ten catties." Hou San said.
"Of course. My big brother was so happy when he heard that I could get wheat to be made into hawthorn.”Li Weidong immediately said.
"Alright, what about the rest? Change it all to flour?"
"Could it be that Hou Ge has other good things?”Li Weidong's expression changed.
"Pork is two yuan per catty. I can give you three to five catties at most. Canned fruit is one yuan each.”Hou San said directly.
Li Weidong almost drooled when he heard that there was meat.
Originally, he wanted to go somewhere else to see if he could meet a meat seller. He didn't expect Hou San to have one.
He could even get canned fruit. It was obvious that he had a lot of power.
Moreover, the price Hou San offered was not outrageous.
The meat on the market cost 60 to 70 cents, and it was still available every day.
As for buying five catties in one go, he could forget about it.
If Li Weidong didn't mind the trouble, he could slowly collect some meat tickets on the black market and then take turns to buy meat with his family. It should be cheaper than this.
But that was obviously impossible.
Therefore, even if Hou San's price was a little expensive, he didn't care.
"Yes, five catties of pork and seven cans of fruit.”Li Weidong said without hesitation.
"Including the wheat, it's a total of twenty-two yuan.”Hou San calculated.
"Hou Ge, this is 5.40 yuan. Add that 20 cents and buy 7 catties of flour.”Li Weidong took out a handful of change from his pocket and counted out 5.4 yuan. The rest was less than 1 yuan, and he carefully put it back into his pocket.
"Sure."
Hou San didn't mind using money to trade.
With that, the deal for tonight was considered complete.
"Hou Ge, can you help me cut the meat into five portions? When the time comes, I'll get a few brothers to bring it home directly to save trouble.”Li Weidong suddenly said.
"That's easy to say. I guarantee that I'll give you the same amount.”Hou San nodded.
A few minutes later, Li Weidong left with the tightly wrapped meat, flour, wheat, and canned food.
However, when he exited the alley and saw that there was no one around, he directly put the things into the farm warehouse. Then, he pretended to have just finished peeing and tied his belt to blend into the crowd.
On the other side, Hou San closed the door and entered the house.
"Old Zhuang, what do you think of that kid?”
