"You'll know later." Zheng Gouzi didn't say anything, but just led everyone in. When they came to the room Zhang Yu mentioned, they saw a lot of things piled on the floor.
The subordinate who spoke at the beginning was very curious. When Zheng Gouzi spoke, he was the first to rush over and lift off the coverings.
Then I saw several large and small sacks, as well as several bags full of eggs.
He immediately became excited, his voice broke, and he shouted: "Grain, eggs, boss, it's grain, eggs."
After saying that, he was afraid that Zheng Gouzi couldn't hear clearly, so he ran to his side and shouted loudly: "Boss, it's grain, it's grain, and there are so many eggs."
"I know it's grain and eggs." Zheng Gouzi said calmly, but there was also a wave of excitement in his heart.
It seems that Xiaoyu's friend is quite capable, and he can still get such a large amount of grain and eggs in this year and age.
Zheng Gouzi wasn't too excited yet, but his men couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to hug the grain.
They opened one of the bags, took out a handful of wheat, and stuffed it into their mouths. It was grain, fine grain, it was real.
Another person picked up an egg and held it carefully in his hand like a treasure.
Zheng Gouzi also allowed them to be excited. He knew that although his brothers could usually bring back some money, in these years, their families were short of food.
One of them was reminded by other brothers because his excited voice was too loud: "Keep your voice down!"
After all, their current place is not too far from Black Rock, and no one can guarantee that there are no black market people nearby.
"I know, I know, I'll keep my voice down, I'll keep my voice down." The excited man immediately covered his mouth and then looked around, as if he was afraid of being discovered.
His look caused the others to laugh.
After laughing for a while, Zheng Gouzi said: "Okay, pack up quickly and take your things to our place."
"I know, boss." A group of subordinates said in unison, and then quickly disguised these things, covered them with firewood, and transported these things back to the small courtyard where they usually gathered.
After all the things were transported and counted, all the subordinates hesitated to speak, and finally one of them stood up.
"Boss, can we buy some food and go home?"
"Yes, boss, can we buy some food to go home? Not too much, just a little is enough." Hearing someone speak, other people also agreed.
"Okay, I will exchange your share of this time for food, but are you sure you want to take Xiliang home?" Zheng Gouzi did not refuse this, he knew that all his brothers had no food at home.
"You must know that in the eyes of outsiders, you are all a group of unemployed people. If you just bring these small grains of food back home, I am afraid that not only may you not be able to help your family, but you may also bring trouble to your family."
After listening to Zheng Gouzi's words, the people under his command didn't know what to say.
They knew what the boss said was true. Taking these grains back might bring trouble to the family, but they couldn't let their parents and brothers starve like this.
You must know that they have no job and no way to get money back home openly. It can be said that they eat and drink for free at home.
But my brother and sister-in-law said so, but they never deducted his rations from him.
He can't feed himself while starving his family members.
"Let's do this. After making noodles today, you will bring back a few kilograms of fine grains. Then I will replace some of the fine grains with coarse grains. Then you will bring back the coarse grains." Zheng Gouzi thought for a while and gave them an idea.
"Thank you, boss. You are still smart." Hearing Zheng Gouzi's words, he cheered for a moment. To be honest, compared to fine grains, coarse grains that are large in quantity and full are more important to their family.
Zheng Gouzi beat the grain into flour, secretly exchanged it for a batch of coarse grain, and kept a little more. He sold the rest to those who had previous wealth.
Seeing the things they brought out to buy food, he couldn't help but sigh: "These people are really rich!"
These things were sold very quickly. He had just turned them into flour and had just released the news to a few wealthy families.
I was surrounded by several families, and those who came late didn't catch up. I told them to keep it for themselves next time.
After everything was taken care of, he found two floor trucks, put grain on the bottom and piled firewood on top.
This is just right, firstly, the grain can be transported back, and secondly, with these firewood, Xiaoyu will not have to worry about firewood for a long time.
When I went back, I met many neighbors.
"What are you doing?" one of the neighbors asked curiously as he watched them pulling two carts full of firewood. He remembered that Zheng Gouzi didn't usually fire much firewood?
"Today I followed a group of brothers to the outskirts of Beijing to do errands. I happened to see that the trees in one place were all withered, so I cut them all down and divided them among us. I got these."
"Then how did it get transported to the backyard?" The neighbor was still a little skeptical.
"Don't I often cook? The firewood is of little use if I keep it here. It just so happens that the firewood at Xiaoyu's place is gone, so I can just bring it to him. After all, I often eat at Xiaoyu's place.
"
Once I mentioned this, the neighbors understood.
Zheng Gouzi's cooking skills are very famous in the neighborhood. The most famous thing is that he spilled the pot while frying cabbage.
However, they also all know what Zheng Gouzi is like. They know that although he often goes to Xiaoyu's place to get food, he never takes advantage and always brings his own rations.
Didn't they send two more cartloads of firewood?
If you have to buy these firewood with money, you will have to spend some money.
Arriving at Zhang Yu's door, Zhang Yu had not come back yet. Zheng Gouzi turned around and knocked on Zhang Guifang's door.
"Auntie, are you at home?"
"Here, it's Xiao Zheng, what are you?" In fact, at first, when Zheng Gouzi was young, Zhang Guifang directly called him Gouzi, but later as he got older, Zhang Guifang felt that calling him Gouzi would be inappropriate.
It made him lose face, so he became Xiao Zheng.
Regarding this change, Zheng Gouzi also felt warm-hearted. Zhang Guifang and the others were good people and even took his little self-esteem into consideration.
"I brought my brothers to deliver some firewood to Brother Xiaoyu, but when I came over I found that Brother Xiaoyu was not at home. Do you have Brother Xiaoyu's key here?"
"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, I'll get it for you." After hearing Zheng Gouzi's words, Zhang Guifang hurriedly walked into the house to get the spare key.
