Chapter 91 Eggs sold for more than a thousand
"Wenzi, you were here early!" Zheng Kai saw Li Wen walking over in a hurry.
"I just arrived a while ago, and I just handed over the menu and am cooking." Li Wen pointed to the kitchen.
The food arrived in ten minutes, including three dishes: a scrambled egg, a plate of braised pork and a plate of shredded potatoes. The soup was kelp soup, which smelled fragrant.
"Wang Feng doesn't know if he's here or not. All the dishes are here." Zheng Kai looked at the fragrant food and swallowed his saliva while complaining.
"Okay, don't wait for him, let's start cooking." After waiting for more than ten minutes, Li Wen looked at the food and it was almost cold. Wang Feng hasn't come yet, so he probably won't make it.
Li Wen had something to do after dinner, so he couldn't stay too long.
In less than ten minutes, the two young men prepared a crazy meal. Four dishes, one soup, and two bowls of millet and dry rice were all eaten as staple food.
“Comfortable!”
Zheng Kai leaned on the chair and stroked his belly with a smile on his face.
"I have never eaten like this since the Chinese New Year. This meal is really comfortable!"
"Wenzi, don't you know that the most we have at home is one plate of scrambled eggs, but six or seven people are rushing to eat it, and each one eats it in one bite." Zheng Kai told Li Wen about the food at home.
"Come on, you are a stuffed man who doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is. The sweet potatoes and wild vegetables we eat every day in the village are nothing to you." Li Wen sprayed Zheng Kai.
"Is your kid finally willing to come and live in the county? Last year, you were still unwilling to let me come." Zheng Kai said after finishing his meal and lighting a cigarette.
"There must be a reason why I don't come. I can only come after my family has made arrangements." Li Wen smiled and shook his head.
"You're so lucky. My second uncle's comrades and their families are joining the army this year. I'll let my second uncle help take care of the house. If there's a suitable buyer, I'll sell it."
"The house has exactly four rooms. It's just a bit old, but the location is pretty good. It's just a street behind the government compound." Zheng Kai said about the situation of the house.
"Well, go back and talk to your uncle tonight and see if he's free tomorrow? Let's go and see then." Li Wen nodded and said.
"Okay, meet you at my door tomorrow at noon." The two chatted for a while and it was already getting late. Zheng Kai stood up and left.
After Zheng Kai left, it was almost six o'clock. Li Wen walked to the purchasing office of the state-owned hotel and said hello to Zhang Xia, asking her to get off work at the pharmacy and wait for him for a while.
When he came to an alley next to the state-owned hotel, he looked around and saw that no one was around. Li Wen took out a cart from the space and placed two baskets of eggs and five cages of rabbits.
"Aunt Zhang, I'm here!" Li Wen pulled the trolley to the state-owned hotel.
"Wenzi, you came very quickly. Xiao Wang quickly helped move the things." Zhang Xia directed a young man in his twenties and said.
"Awen, let me meet you. This is Xiao Wang, my aunt's partner in the acquisition department. I won't tell him directly from now on. Xiao Wang is my neighbor's child and one of my own." Zhang Xia introduced the two of them to each other.
"Brother Wang, please take care of me in the future. If you find it useful, just tell me!" Li Wen smiled and sent out a cigarette.
"It's all trivial things, just to make ends meet. Come here, let's weigh you quickly. It's getting late." Xiao Wang's name is Wang Desheng and he said with a smile.
No matter what you do at this time, as long as there are two people involved in the unit, it is normal for one person to be private and the other two to be public.
"The total weight of eggs without the frame is 218 kilograms, and that of rabbits is 146 kilograms. Can you take a look at it, Wenzi?" Zhang Xia calculated using the abacus.
"No problem, just forget it, Auntie. I still don't believe you. It's not you who took the money from the government." Li Wen said with a smile.
"You boy!"
"Eggs cost 40 cents per pound, and rabbits cost you 65 cents per pound. You can still buy some money for this rabbit skin."
"Well, the egg is 87.2, the rabbit is 94.9, and the total is 182.1." Zhang Xia calculated it after a while.
"Here, Ah Wen will give you money and tickets. You idiots will give you more subsidies for counting tickets." Zhang Xia counted the money, then took a small stack of bills and handed them to Li Wen.
Li Wen took the money and put it in his pocket without counting it, then looked at the bill.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xia actually gave him two kilograms of pork tickets, twenty kilograms of cornmeal, and sweet potato tickets. The remaining five or six were just match tickets and the like, which were worthless.
"Thank you, Auntie." Li Wen smiled and put the bill into his pocket.
"Okay, now that we're done, we have to get off work. We delayed it for half an hour to wait for you, brat." Zhang Xia tidied up her desk and said.
Li Wen was not in a hurry to leave, but waited for Zhang Xia and Wang Desheng to close the door of the purchasing station.
"Aunt, the rabbits that Brother Wang gave you also have eggs." Li Wen said and handed two small sacks to the two of them.
"Boy, my aunt won't be polite to you anymore. Xiao Wang, you can take over, we are all one of our own." Zhang Xia smiled and asked Wang Desheng to pick up Li Wen's rabbit.
"Would you like to go to my aunt's house for a meal? Your Uncle Zhang has been nagging you recently." Zhang Xia asked while pushing her bicycle.
"Auntie, I have something to do in the evening, maybe next time. I will live in the county in the future, and we will have more time to see each other. And auntie, you don't need to keep an eye on the house for me, I have already found it." Li Wen said with a smile.
"Okay, you are very capable. Auntie, I won't do your work for you. Let's go first. Come and play with Auntie when you have time!"
Li Wen leaned on the cart and watched the two people leave.
It was completely dark, so Li Wenlai walked to a deserted place and put the cart into the space.
Then he carried two kilograms of eggs and a big pumpkin from the space and walked towards my aunt Li Xiulan's house.
"Awen is back, and I went back for you!" The eldest uncle was chatting with his brothers and saw Li Wen and asked with a smile.
"No, I'm still throwing my bicycle in your yard." Li Wen smiled and asked his eldest uncle and eldest brother.
"Why did you come back with something?" Zhao Weiguo looked at the big pumpkin at his feet and kicked it.
"A gift from a friend." Li Wen said with a smile.
"Your friend is very generous, unlike my friends who don't eat mine." Zhao Weiguo said angrily.
"I asked you about Awen's house this afternoon, and I'll ask your aunt to take you to the street office tomorrow morning." Uncle Zhao Hongjun drank tea and changed the subject with a smile.
"Okay, my aunt and I will go take a look tomorrow morning." Li Wen did not refuse and nodded.
"It's time to eat. Let's go and serve the food." Aunt Li Xiulan walked into the living room carrying vegetables and steamed buns.
"Awen, if you don't come back, I'm going to look for you." Looking at Li Wen sitting on the stool, Li Xiulan glared and said.
"hey-hey!"
"Auntie, I'm going to a friend's place. After playing for a long time, Li Wen scratched his head." He saw Li Xiulan looking at the big pumpkin on the ground.
Li Wen hurriedly changed the subject and said: "These are the eggs and the big pumpkin that my friend gave me." As he said that, Li Wen directly put the more than 20 kilograms of big pumpkin on the table.
"Yes, this pumpkin is really big. You all will go home for lunch tomorrow and I will make a pumpkin quilt." Li Xiulan announced with joy as she looked at the big pumpkin.
As a housewife, especially in this age when she has so many mouths to take care of her family, the most important thing Li Xiulan pays most attention to is food.
In the evening, my aunt made corn and hazelnut rice porridge and steamed buns with pickled cabbage, which was very good.
Because he had an appointment with Peng Yuyan to conduct a transaction tonight, Li Wen did not stay at his aunt Li Xiulan's house.
I also explained to my aunt that I was going to stay at a friend's house tonight, as I had already agreed. I would inform her when I came back in the evening, so as not to worry my aunt.
Li Wen refused his aunt's request to let his cousin deliver it and walked out.
Arriving at an abandoned house not far from Peng Yuyan's home, Li Wen walked in, then turned around and returned to space.
A total of nearly 300 kilograms of eggs and more than 30 rabbits were traded today. The supplies are still abundant and have not been reduced much.
Li Wen weighed all the remaining eggs on the scale and found that there were still more than 2,200 kilograms.
Fortunately, the eggs were all put in baskets and were relatively small. Twenty baskets of eggs were stacked almost three levels on the trolley.
The three-wheeled tricycle that originally delivered the goods was still in the warehouse. It was Li Wen's newly bought car that was parked on the road outside the door. It was too late to follow it. Li Wen was frustrated for a long time.
Li Wen didn't dare to ride an electric tricycle. When he was making a cart, he took off the tricycle's wheels and put them on the cart. If he used a wooden wheel, he couldn't even pull it.
"It seems that we will have to get a bullock cart later. This cart can't pull much goods." Li Wen said to himself.
Looking at the space full of trolleys, Li Wen tried it, and it was indeed a bit difficult to pull it up.
I set the alarm clock for 11 o'clock. It was still early enough to get some sleep. Li Wen was a little sleepy after running all day today.
Today is a cloudy day, there is no moon in the sky, and the night is very dark. A small figure is moving forward with something like a hill behind it. This figure is Li Wen.
It was past 11 o'clock in the evening. Li Wen put the cart out and pulled it towards Peng Yuyan's house. The road was not far away, only twenty meters away.
It was too close, and Li Wen was afraid that the secret of the space would be discovered. Through the space, Li Wen could detect things twenty meters around.
Li Wen took a test and found that Peng Yuyan's back door was ajar, and Peng Yuyan was sitting at the back door waiting.
When he arrived at the door of Peng Yuyan's house, Li Wen opened the door gently. Looking at Peng Yuyan, who was taking a nap with his back against the door of the room, he called softly.
"Uncle Peng!"
"Xiao Wen, you're here!" Peng Yuyan's body shook slightly, then he looked up and saw Li Wen saying with a smile.
"Hurry, there are a lot of things at the door. Let's move them in quickly." Li Wen whispered.
"Okay, I'll call your aunt. Let's move directly to the cellar. It's not safe outside." Peng Yuyan stood up and rubbed his cheeks and said.
In twenty minutes, the three of them moved twenty baskets of eggs into the cellar.
Back in the room, Peng Yuyan took the book with the registered weight and counted it, "The skinned weight is 2,201 kilograms in total."
"No problem, just calculate it as 2,200 pounds!" Li Wen nodded and said.
There are 1144 in total. Count them. Peng Yuyan took out a stack of big black tens and some loose tickets from his bag and handed them to Li Wen.
Li Wen took a look and saw that the stack of big black tens was still new. Then he tapped it again. "Uncle Peng, there is no problem. Just count the money."
"That's good, won't we have the money for the house tomorrow?" Peng Yuyan said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
