064 The neighbor in the east wing was almost scared away
Using the cover of the cupboard, Chu Qianqian took out the roasted wing tips from the game warehouse, looked at Silly Zhu and asked, "Have you eaten? If not, eat some roasted wing tips and some millet porridge?"
"That's so embarrassing." Silly Zhu chuckled, but took the plate politely.
Seeing that there were four or five wing tips on it, he held the plate up to his nose and smelled it, "Looking at how polite you are, my brother didn't get you business in vain."
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he guessed that when Silly Zhu went to cook for someone last night, someone should have asked him if he could get some meat.
It was only early in the morning, and I came to my door before I went to work.
When business came to his door, Chu Xiangqian's attitude immediately became much more enthusiastic, and even Silhu was willing to eat some millet porridge and wingtips.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Silly Zhu pinched the tip of a wing with a smile and said while eating, "Yesterday I cooked for someone, and there was a guest at the table who I wanted to treat in a few days.
He asked me if I could help him get some meat. I thought, you are not an old hunter, so I didn’t refuse directly."
Chu nodded forward, "How much do you want?"
"No", Shazhu was stunned, "I want ten pounds, can you get it for me?"
Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Wild boar and wolf meat are difficult to get, but it is not difficult to get three or four pheasants weighing three to five kilograms in the mountains."
After saying that, Chu Xiangqian smiled specially, "Before entering the city, I left more than thirty small traps for pheasants in the mountains. When my second uncle and others came to the door the day before yesterday, they said they had caught eight pheasants.
.
It's a pity that we went there late, and the three of them were probably eaten by foxes and lynxes."
Of course this is nonsense, but Silly Zhu firmly believes it.
Besides, he didn't care how Chu Xiangqian got the pheasant, as long as the thing was placed in front of him, that was his business.
Moreover, this pheasant can be recognized at a glance, and there is no possibility of stealing the chicken or buying it from other farms.
Since it is wild game, it is not illegal as long as you are not caught trading it directly with money.
No one will check.
Silly Zhu finished the wing tips in his mouth in several bites, smacked his lips and said, "I'm not good at craftsmanship," and then said eagerly, "Give me all five, and I'll give you 10 yuan."
Chu Qianqian shook his head.
Silly Zhu felt anxious, "Brother, I'm giving you the weight based on the live chicken that has not been plucked or processed. The price is almost twice the price in the market."
But Chu Xiangqian knew that at this price, Shazhu would definitely make money, "One yuan per catty, otherwise I might as well make arrangements with my colleagues on the street.
Besides, what’s the use of keeping so much money in your hands? It’s better to spend more on food stamps, cloth stamps, tobacco and alcohol stamps.”
Silly Zhu has no choice now. What Chu Xiangqian said is absolutely correct.
"Okay, okay, you have the final say." Shazhu asked a little frustrated, "When can I get it?"
"You lend me a bicycle, and I'll bring five of them back tonight."
After saying that, Chu Qianqian thought for a moment and continued, "I'll give you the money first. After I give you five this time, I can order from some old hunters in the village and near my hometown.
In case you ask for it next time, it won’t be so easy to get.
Also, if you still want game in the future, it’s best to give him 80% of the money and 20% of the food stamps.
Otherwise, if the hunters just get money, they might as well go to the commune to find those buyers or the local people to exchange for food."
Silly Zhu didn't want to give the money first, but after hearing this, he immediately felt it made sense.
"Okay, you wait until I get home to get the money."
Not long after waiting, Shazhu came back with 20 yuan and said, "Brother, is it okay if I want another 10 pounds of pheasant before the end of the year?"
Chu Xiangqian took the money and thought to himself, even if you want 200 pounds, I can get it for you today.
"Don't worry, after I take your money, I have to give you something. Otherwise, I won't have the nerve to continue living in this courtyard in the future."
Silly Zhu laughed. He was sure that Chu Xiangqian would not cheat him for 20 yuan, so he gave the money so happily.
"If you wait a little longer, I'll go find someone in the yard next door to borrow a bicycle."
Silly Zhu said he borrowed it, but actually he spent 2 cents to borrow it.
"Don't bring things back to the yard at night. You can take them to the rolling mill after 6 o'clock. I'll wait for you at the guard's place."
Chu Xiangqian was unhappy. He was not a buyer at a steel rolling mill, so he didn't know if he would be regarded as a speculator by the guard.
"If I get pheasants for you in the afternoon, I will definitely have to go back to the streets immediately after returning to the city. Let Liu Guangtian and his classmate Nan Guangsheng in the backyard give them to you. How about you give them each a steamed bun as reward?"
Silly Zhu thought for a while and nodded, then shook his head again, "Steamed buns are not good, I will give those two boys a box of leftover fried cabbage from the canteen."
Chu Xiangqian doesn’t care about this matter.
After sending Silly Zhu off, he closed the door wearing gloves, a coat, and a plush hat, and went out on his bicycle.
But as soon as I pushed the cart out of the courtyard gate, I saw a man and a woman walking over carrying a bag.
Seeing that Chu Qianqian was wearing a uniform with the 'Public Security Police' armband on the sleeve of his left arm, the two of them showed visibly surprised expressions.
Chu Qianqian was moved in his heart and thought to himself, could this be the couple in the east wing?
He showed a bright expression and asked with a smile, "Master Liu?"
Liu Yifa became obviously nervous when he saw Chu Qianqian asking him.
Holding back his uneasiness, he showed an ugly smile and nodded, "Is this comrade looking for someone?"
Before Chu Xiangqian could speak, the third uncle, Yan Fugui, who walked out of the yard, took the initiative and said, "First of all, this is Comrade Chu Xiangqian who moved into the opposite house the day before yesterday.
He is a clerk in the street security department, and he happens to live next door to you."
Liu Yifa and his wife Liao Wenfang couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Just waiting for Chu Qianqian to ride away on his bicycle, the couple returned home as if nothing had happened.
Liu Yifa suddenly slapped his thigh and said to his wife in a low voice, "Oh no, I think the guy named Chu is here with bad intentions. Otherwise, how would he, an ordinary security policeman, get the money and tickets to buy a bicycle?"
Liao Wenfang was stunned and couldn't help but asked nervously, "Master, are you saying that the person named Chu is someone sent from above to keep an eye on us?"
Liu Yifa nodded bitterly, "I hope not, but it makes no sense that we just returned to the village to visit relatives, and a new resident came by such a coincidence.
And this man is also a security policeman."
"Then, then, what should we do?"
Liao Wenfang was so frightened that she stammered, "Why not run away now?"
But Liu Yifa shook his head, "Run now, isn't that 'not asking for trouble'? And we plan to leave first, and when your hometown in the northwest is settled, we will take our two sons over.
If we run away now, what will happen to our two sons?"
Liao Wenfang cried immediately.
It's just that she still has reason. Even if she cries, she can only suppress her voice and sob quietly.
Chu Xiangqian released his silver-throated long-tailed tit and stared at the east wing, but he never thought that just because he was wearing a uniform, he was so frightened that Liu Yifa and his wife almost ran away.
However, now that Liu Yifa and his wife are back, they can't escape Chu Xiangqian's surveillance.
