Seeing Li Xuewu come out of the alley, the half-grown child squatting by the wall ran back again. It seemed that this was not the first time he was watching.
Except for grain and oil, which are purchased and sold at the same price, other local specialties have local prices. This is why food stamps are issued nationwide, but other bills are rarely issued nationwide.
This is specifically reflected in the fact that each provincial capital issues bills based on its own production this year.
Although there is no price difference on the bill, the rarity is a reflection of this difference.
What Li Xuewu's team is doing now is ticket scalping. If the other tickets can't be used when they take them back, can they still go to Northeast China to buy food stamps?
Isn't it true that coal is mined in Datong, Shanxi, taken to Pingdingshan and sold?
Furthermore, scalping is a temporary pleasure, but it is not a long-term solution. Li Xuewu wanted to find a stable path for his brothers and himself.
Li Xuewu visited the Chuncheng market because he wanted to understand the price system of Chuncheng local products. The Qiyi Factory has business connections with the steel rolling mill, so he must come here many times.
There are too many steel companies in the Northeast, and there are many opportunities to come here, so it is best to have an agent.
There are only a few types of agency businesses. Li Xuewu cannot produce resources in this era, but he can be a porter of resources.
How much does it cost to ship hairy crabs from Shanghai to the capital at 7 cents per pound?
How about placing it in a space and supplying it for all seasons?
It's not a matter of money, it's something you can't buy with money.
Nowadays, there are many people like the Lou family who hold gold bars in their hands but cannot spend them.
These people are miserable. How have they ever experienced such a life of lack of food and clothing?
Li Xuewu just wanted to serve these people and help them solve part of their food and warmth problems. He was not just doing it for those yellow gold bars. He also had a Bodhisattva heart.
Li Xuewu took a notebook and secretly recorded the prices he asked at the local specialty stalls in the market. Considering the time, he briefly learned about the market conditions throughout the year.
While Li Xuewu was doing market research, two big men crowded over from the opposite side. Looking behind him, there were two more of them.
Li Xuewu pushed away the crowd and ran to the wall behind the stall. He leaned against the wall with a very calm expression.
, just took out the big five-four and carried it in his sleeve, and turned on the safety.
When these big men saw Li Xuewu's movements, they all stopped in unison. One of the men walked over with a wry smile and his head covered in his hands.
When he arrived in front of Li Xuewu, the big man didn't put down his hands, but said in a low voice, "My name is Da Qiangzi, brothers, don't be nervous. When you get to our land, if something happens to you, we won't be able to hang out on the road.
We are more nervous than you are.”
Li Xuewu smiled and said nothing, nor did he take back the May Fourth, he just looked at Da Qiangzi.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just going to the market. What do you want to do?"
Da Qiangzi's expression froze, and he cursed in his heart. Did he carry Heizi to the market?
Da Qiangzi's smile was very forced. He tried his best to pretend to smile and said in a low voice, "Stop making trouble, brother. Silly Chun'er already told the boss. Silly Chun'er pointed you over there and we only came here."
Li Xuewu looked at where Da Qiangzi was pointing. The man he had met just now, who called himself Da Chun'er, was looking this way.
As expected, his uncle didn't tell a word of truth.
He was obviously called Silly Chun'er, but he actually told himself that his name was Dachun. Sure enough, when he was away from home, people who traveled around the world had to use his stage name.
Seeing Li Xuewu meet Sha Chun, the strong man said again, "The boss is waiting for you at Sha Chun'er's place. He wants to chat."
Li Xuewu nodded and said, "You lead the way."
Da Qiangzi nodded and walked towards the alley where Li Xuewu and Sha Chun'er met just now.
Seeing these two people moving, several other people dispersed and walked over there.
In a noisy crowd, we met at the entrance of the alley.
The half-grown man squatted at the entrance of the alley again. Da Qiangzi left two big men hanging around the door. He led Li Xuewu and a big man and walked in. Silly Chun'er also came in.
When he walked to the door of the low house, the big man who followed him put his arm around Sha Chun'er's shoulders and stood there.
At the door.
Silly Chun'er's expression froze, and she secretly thought that she was just trying to kill the donkey and didn't want to play with him anymore.
Da Qiangzi opened the door and let Li Xuewu enter the house. Before Li Xuewu entered the house, he looked at Silly Chun'er and said seriously, "You are dishonest."
After saying that, he ignored the stunned boy and entered the house.
Sitting on the kang in the room was a strong man in his forties. He looked strong but his face looked a bit cultured.
Seeing Li Xuewu enter the room, the strong man got up and got off the kang. He put his left hand to Li Xuewu's right hand, cupped his fists and arched his head.
Li Xuewu also imitated the strong man's example, cupped his hands and said "you're welcome" in return.
If you have a hard time meeting someone, you must be a Jianghu person.
The strong man smiled and said to Li Xuewu, "I'm really sorry. Brothers are all uneducated roughnecks. How offended I am."
Li Xuewu sat on the kang at the request of the strong man, while Da Qiangzi sat against the door.
"The shopkeeper is very polite. I met him by chance. I was wondering if there was any chance of cooperation, so I asked Brother Da Chun'er about the market conditions on the ground."
The strong man said politely, "Hey, brother, I'm sorry. We are either those who fight against the baggage at the station, ride three-wheelers in the market, row in the river, or are half-grown men like Shachun. The years are not good, and we are so hungry that we can only
You can call me Lao Zhang if you can hug each other for warmth, but can’t be called a shopkeeper.”
Li Xuewu smiled and handed over a cigarette and said, "Then I'll call you Brother Zhang. As for me, I have some connections. I travel to the Northeast several times a year and maybe across the country, so I can bring some to my colleagues and friends."
Souvenirs, if it is convenient for you, we can cooperate, and I will save time to collect the bulk goods myself."
Lao Zhang smiled and took the cigarette and put it by the table. He didn't believe Li Xuewu's words. How many friends could use the train to bring goods.
After pouring a cup of tea for Li Xuewu, Lao Zhang said, "Just now, Silly Chun'er Maomao ran to me in a daze and said that you can tune the train. It shocked me. Hahahaha, you see what happened.
Silly Chun'er, that boy made a mistake."
Li Xuewu didn't drink that cup either.
Tea, Lao Zhang didn't dare to smoke his cigarette when he was out, let alone drink his tea.
"His name is Sha Chun'er, haha. He's not wrong. I mean I can adjust trains, but it's not that mysterious. You don't need to ask for details. If we cooperate, I won't let you be responsible for transportation."
In this test, Lao Zhang got the information he wanted, but he ran into difficulties again. He really couldn't figure out the identity and status of the person opposite him, and he felt very unsure.
Seeing Lao Zhang's hesitation, Li Xuewu stopped talking about these things, but asked about the local specialties and prices in the Spring City market.
Lao Zhang answered them one by one in a dumbfounded manner. After Li Xuewu finished asking, he was 80% convinced.
Li Xuewu put down his pencil and notebook and said with a smile, "It's okay. Everyone has concerns about this matter. I'm not going to take things away this time, but I'm just doing a survey. We can take our time and communicate more."
Once you have trust, you will feel at ease”
Lao Zhang laughed, but he didn't say exactly what he said. He just nodded and offered the tea.
Li Xuewu pushed the catalog of local specialties he had just written to Lao Zhang. Seeing Lao Zhang taking the paper in confusion, he said, "This is the local specialties catalog you just mentioned and my address. If you are interested in cooperating with me,
, then write to this address, my name is Yang Dahaier, you are his relative and cousin in the Northeast."
Li Xuewu knocked on the table and said, "If you have anything to trade, just write in the letter what you have eaten recently, how much you have eaten, and how much. The amount is reduced to a normal multiple, and the multiple is written in how many years, months and days you have eaten before, and one year represents
10,000 times, one month represents 1,000 times, one day represents 100 times, and one hour represents 10 times.”
"If you need local specialties from other places, just write down what your children want to eat. The required quantity is reduced to normal multiples, and the multiples are written whenever you want. It's the same as before, and vice versa. It will be the same for whatever I want.
Write"
When Lao Zhang heard this, he was dumbfounded, and his heart trembled. It couldn't be that they had bumped into each other. This was going on here all the time. Why was this still a coded exchange?
Thinking of Li Xuewu's fifth year in college, some people are even more afraid to confirm Li Xuewu's identity.
