Chapter 60 We are out of food
Third Aunt Liu's fever did not retreat. Li Zongliang and others did not dare to drag the car again. Sun Qidi drove the car. Sister Zhang and Sister Zhao accompanied the car. Li Zonggui took several people with knives and guns all the way to Tang County to find a doctor for treatment. Li Xiaoyao sat sullenly on the rock, watched the car disappear along the mountain road, and sighed heavily.
"You have been sighing every day for a while. Why do you think so much? Think more and be easy to grow old, be careful of early birth!" Lv Feng looked at a brightly feathered bird singing on the tree next to him and said, "Look how beautiful that bird is. Do you want it? Did I catch it for you? Let Chef Zhang make a cage, and you can play with it."
"No!" Li Xiaoyao glanced at the bird: "This wild bird can't be raised. If it were you, you would be caught in a cage, how could you sing so well?"
Lu Feng blinked a few times: "Then let Chef Zhang stew soup for you?"
"No!" Li Xiaoyao refused, turned his head and looked at the distance and sighed again. Lv Feng came over and squeezed onto the big stone: "Well, what are you talking about? Isn't this a good one?"
"You say that you are stupid every day, but you still don't admit it! Those old, weak and sick! Nineteen in total! Nineteen! How to raise it? There is no one who can work, except that he is old or small, and he is a woman who is not old or small!" Li Xiaoyao shouted anxiously, and Lv Feng flashed back, as if avoiding Li Xiaoyao's saliva: "They didn't say they wanted to stay on your mountain."
"Alas, you don't know, the eldest brother's temper and righteousness. Alas, it's the twelfth month. The eldest brother must persuade Mr. Fan to stay. You see, Mr. Fan must agree. I don't know how long he will stay."
Lv Feng looked up and down at Li Xiaoyao: "Your brothers are all good and honest and chivalrous. What's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me?" Li Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes and stared at Lv Feng gloomyly. Lv Feng shivered and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You are better than them!" It's much better than them. They are pedantic. Hey hey, they are very pedantic.
Mr. Fan slept for two nights and a day. When he woke up the third morning, he finally recovered. As expected, as soon as Li Zongliang retained him, he immediately agreed. This group of old and young people lived safely at the foot of the mountain. Mr. Fan also opened a school to teach several children. For a while, the book was loud in the bandit's nest, and Li Xiaoyao was very depressed. Most of his luggage in the Taiping cars were actually books. With great respect, Sister Zhang sent Zhang Tiemu and Li Erhuai, and took someone to give him several large bookshelves. The carefully polished and slippery clothes were placed in Mr. Fan's room. Li Xiaoyao was depressed and did not go with herself. She went to Fan Xian in two days. Look through the book in the living room.
Anran passed the Spring Festival. As soon as he came out of the 15th, Li Zongliang sent people down the mountain to buy grain in Tang County and County, but where to buy grain? Everyone discussed that Li Xiaoyao, Lv Feng and Li Zonggui went down the mountain to Tang County to find a way to buy grain.
The three entered Tang County, first found a foot shop to rest, put down their luggage, and then went to Tang County Grain City. The grain market has been closed, and there are notices on the doors of grain shops. The county government has an order that the grain and oil will be distributed by the government according to the head of people. They are not allowed to buy and sell on their own. Those who violate it are variant to match! The three had no choice but to look at the notice on the pavement and had to come out to find another way.
The three walked slowly along the street and walked several streets in a row. Li Xiaoyao stopped, pulled Li Zonggui, and said with a smile, "It's really strange. Since this grain and oil have to be allocated according to the head, the government also rationed this wine and tea shop? How much ration does this family have? Look, it's lively." Li Xiaoyao said as he pointed to the large and small tea shops on both sides of the street that seemed to have good business.
Lv Feng pinched his chin with his fingers and nodded repeatedly: "I was about to tell you to take the lead. There must be a way here. Go in and ask!" The three went in to a lively tea shop and asked for wine. While eating slowly, they were careful about the gossip next to them. Lu Feng pulled another guy, stuffed a few big money, inquired carefully, and finally came out. It turns out that these days, a black market has been born in Tang County. It is said that there is everything. Every day, at the beginning of the ugly end, Yin disperses at the beginning, and a serious black market.
The three people got up the next day, touching the black to clean up. Lv Feng and Li Zonggui took a machete and a dagger. All three of them were wrapped in black cloth, walked out of the foot shop and followed the instructions of the shopkeeper to touch the direction of the black market.
The black market is in the open space in front of the Temple of Literature, which is very close to the county government. Li Xiaoyao looked around in the starlight. They came early, but this area was still empty. Lv Feng and Li Zonggui looked around warily and protected Li Xiaoyao to flash under a crooked neck tree, waiting to see how to open the market.
After a long meeting, I heard the gentle 'squeak' sound of the car. In the night, two or three people pushed a wheelbicle over. The person in front of the head went over and looked around first, looked for a place, and whispered the two people behind. Three people stopped the car, and their figures shook and became busy. The drivers behind them came one after another. Looking for a place to stop the car, but it was silent. Li Xiaoyao looked at this strange scene, gently shivered, pulled Li Zonggui and whispered, "It looks like a ghost market!"
Lv Feng laughed and said, "Are you afraid? Are you also afraid? Hey hey, this is the black market. How can it be a big fan? This is nothing. If there is a chance in the future, I will take you to the ghost market in Xinyang. That's fun. It's just some strange things, and killers set up stalls, which is interesting!" Lv Feng's eyebrows were soaring. Li Xiaoyao glanced at him, pulled them, and motioned them to go and have a look.
Lv Feng hurriedly stopped. There were more and more people on the dark black market. There were also very small red lanterns hanging in front of each car. When someone came to see the goods, he raised the lanterns. There was a low 'buzzing' sound like mosquitoes flying around. Several people looked all the way. The more they looked at it, the more surprised they became. The black market was actually sold. There are everything. There are all kinds of short goods here. There are only a few kinds of rice. From the best jasper japonica to the rough incan on the largest road, what do you want? Li Xiaoyao stood in front of a car selling lotus seeds and red dates, looked at the old woman in black and bought more than a dozen red dates one by one. He couldn't help asking the price. The red dates However, it is sold by grain, which is more than ten times the regular price!
Three people asked about the price of crude indika, which was a little cheaper than the grain industry. Li Zonggui asked in a low voice, "We bought more. Can we make it cheaper?"
"Grandpa, what city is this? Can it be cheaper if you buy too much? Only expensive! I know my plan. I have money. I bought out all the goods today. Tomorrow, the market will be up to you. If I have that money, I will do the same! However, I'd better save it. There are not many goods in the industry. They are released day by day. If you want to raise the price, you really have to weigh yourself!" The middle-aged man wrapped in his head and face shook his legs, looked up and down at Li Zonggui and others. He said disdainfully. Li Xiaoyao's heart jumped down and hurriedly asked, "In the line? Which line? Food industry?"
"I'm talking about how many masters, are you going to buy goods or inquire about things? If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't buy it, go quickly!" The middle-aged man's trembling legs suddenly stopped and quickly waved his hand to drive the three people. Li Zonggui pulled Li Xiaoyao back a few steps and continued to look at other cars. He even asked four or five cars selling coarse grain. If they were all the same, did you buy more?
Several people almost looked at it. Standing behind the tree, Li Xiaoyao looked at the increasingly lively black market and sighed secretly. In this black market, everything was full, but at this price, there was not much money on the mountain. They can't afford to buy it like this. Besides, there are 50 or 60 people now. Even if there is enough silver, there is not so much food in the black market. ! After thinking for a while, Li Xiaoyao pulled the two and whispered in Li Zonggui's ear, "I have to find that line!" Didn't that person say that these grains are released from the industry. Find that industry and do business with the industry.
Li Zonggui nodded repeatedly, and Lv Feng also strongly agreed. The three of them walked around and stopped not far from the middle-aged man just now. Before the beginning of Yin, the middle-aged man finished his business and pushed the car back. Lv Feng followed him with a hidden body. Li Zonggui protected Li Xiaoyao back to the foot shop.
Lv Feng stared at him in the middle of the night. He returned to the foot shop at the right time. He was so tired that he fell down on **. He pointed to Li Xiaoyao and ordered, "Pure me a cup of tea!"
Li Xiaoyao tilted his head and looked at him motionless. Li Zonggui stood up with a good temper and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lv Feng. Lv Feng reluctantly took the tea. Li Xiaoyao looked at him and said slowly, "If this business can be done, it will be your first success, and that kindness will be worth it."
"I have inquired clearly about what you asked me to inquire about. Whether the business will be successful or not depends on your ability. How can you say that business can be regarded as humanehood? Where is this?" Lu Feng jumped up and protested,
"If the business doesn't work, what's the use if you ask clearly? I didn't get any benefits. I didn't get any benefits. Why should I give you benefits?! Who does the loss-making business?!" Li Xiaoyao said righteously. Lv Feng blinked his eyes and exclaimed angrily. He drank tea without looking at Li Xiaoyao. He looked at Li Zonggui and said, "The man went to the street behind the county government office, entered a yard, came out and loaded a carloaded things. I looked at it for a while. For half an hour, I went into four or five cars, all of which turned black. I went to the city.
"Have you seen the situation in the yard?" Li Xiaoyao hurriedly asked,
"Well, three people came out of the yard. One was wearing a robe, locked the door, and entered the back door of the county government with a lantern. There were two strong men. It seemed that they had gone home." Lv Feng turned his head and looked at Li Xiaoyao and said. Li Xiaoyao half opened his mouth, stunned for a moment, and spat with hatred: "Bah! I said, this black market is so grand that it's really like this!"
