I have a fiancée in Siheyuan

Chapter 9 Dongdan Vegetable Market

Although Qiao Yun is a 14-year-old child, she has a Jiangnan style, is pretty and cute, and is petite, just like a 12-year-old child. I don't know if my family made a mistake when registering her household registration. If she is older, Bai Baoshan would not dare to hold her like this. Reputation is important everywhere.

Modern people don’t care about reputation because they don’t rely on fame to make money. Look at those big bosses, which one of them doesn’t want fame?

Because they have lost their fame, they can only sell pants. People are in different realms, at different heights, and in different eras, and they see the issue of fame differently.

If it were in ancient times, no one would dare to hold hands with such a grown girl while walking on the street.

Bai Baoshan didn't know where the vegetable market was, but Qiao Yun was familiar with it.

After turning many turns along the way, we arrived at Zhang Zizhong Road, turned onto Dongsi Street and walked south, and soon we arrived at a large vegetable market.

Dongdan is the largest vegetable market in this area. There are also some small street vegetable markets around it, but they are too small and few people go there.

Chinese people have a characteristic, which is that they like to gather in groups. They like to go where there are many people.

People in Xidan like to go to Dongdan because they say the things there are new and fresh.

Bai Baoshan was puzzled. Since all the vegetables were purchased and distributed by the state, weren’t they all the same?

It was now around 11 o'clock and it took the two of them about 20 minutes to get there.

Bai Baoshan walked slowly and was still a little weak.

There were already huge crowds of people at this time.

Qiao Yun happily pulled Bai Baoshan to the meat stall. Unfortunately, there was no meat left. There was only a small pile of bones without much meat. Bai Baoshan saw two thigh bones, so there must be a lot of bone fat.

Bones don’t require tickets, but no one wanted to buy them, so Bai Baoshan pulled Qiao Yun.

These are Bai Baoshan's standard actions to get Qiao Yun to pay.

She looked up at Bai Baoshan with a distressed face and could only pout, "Uncle, how much are the bones?"

"Oh, it's you, little girl. Here are the bones. Give me 6 cents. This pile of bones must weigh 8 pounds." It was obvious that the butcher knew Qiao Yun.

So cheap? This was the first time Bai Baoshan came into contact with normal prices in this era, excluding the breakfast in the morning.

Qiao Yun carefully took out her handkerchief, opened it, found 6 cents and gave it to the butcher.

"Uncle, please help me put it in the bag, thank you." A small cloth bag was handed to the uncle.

"You're welcome. It's my duty." He collected the money, took the bag and packed it quickly.

Bai Baoshan took it and nodded.

The butcher was stunned. Wasn't this man said to be a fool?

He watched the two people walk away and scratched his head.

When I got to the chicken shop, every one of them was skinny and just skeletons. You could tell there was no meat on them at all. But they were definitely good for making soup.

There is a sign on it saying hens are 1 yuan, roosters are 1 yuan, no ticket required.

The eggs on the side are marked 7 cents each, no ticket required, and the purchase limit is 2 kilograms per month per certificate, 5 cents each, with a ticket, no purchase limit.

Although it is written like this, there are no eggs at all.

On the side, there are half-grown chicks for sale. Each one is about the size of a handful and is only about three or four months old at most. If they are carefully raised, they will definitely lay eggs in another month or two.

Each chick will not weigh more than 6 taels. I estimate that if you cut them up, you can make a profit if you get 2 taels of meat.

The chicks were huddled together, about dozens of them, and were obviously hungry. Their listless appearance was very pitiful.

It says 5 cents per piece on the side, no ticket required. It’s extremely expensive, you can buy a pound of meat with a little more money.

Bai Baoshan looked around and decided to rescue a few of them so that they could follow him and live a good life.

There was only one middle-aged man looking at this place, and he ignored Bai Baoshan and the other man.

As for the chicks, Bai Baoshan didn't think about buying them. He took a step away and when he looked back, he saw eight extra empty spaces among the crowded chicks. However, the chicks soon squirmed and filled the spaces.

Bai Baoshan simply collected eight of them into the space without any sense of guilt at all.

With Qiao Yun supporting him, Bai Baoshan followed with his eyes closed, and his consciousness entered the farm. Unexpectedly, the chicks were consciously put into the chicken coop which was specially used for raising chicks.

There is food and water in the trough, enough for the eight chicks.

As for whether chickens raised on feed are edible, Bai Baoshan can tell you with confidence that the chickens he raises are safe to eat. As for other people's chickens... ahem... industry secrets cannot be disclosed.

As for the free-range chickens in the industry, spread out the broiler chickens and release a few Corgis. These puppies will only chase the chickens and play with them but won’t bite them. Do this for two months, then kill one and compare it with the real free-range chicken to see which one looks more like it?

In the front are the stalls selling fish and river shrimps.

There are also lively little fish the size of a thumb and river shrimps as big as a finger, which are very rare.

The Baibaoshan space has a 50-acre pond. During the strike, all the fish were caught and all the water was drained.

Bai Baoshan went in to take a look in the morning. Although the water was clear and full, there was no fish or even a clean earthworm in it. This showed that the rhythm was just to ensure that one had enough food and clothing.

As for buying?

Bai Baoshan reached into the fish basin and scooped up a handful. "Comrade, how much do you sell this little fish for?"

"8 points per pound."

Bai Baoshan scooped up another handful of shrimp and said, "Where are these shrimp?"

"5 points for shrimp."

"Qiao Yun, we..."

"Brother, there is no oil at home." Qiao Yun said helplessly, wrinkling his nose.

"This..." Bai Baoshan looked at the middle-aged man embarrassedly. The middle-aged man didn't care and smiled. Every family has its own problems.

This time, I collected dozens of various fish fry and shrimps.

Hope they can grow up.

But there seems to be no aquatic plants in it. It’s okay. When I passed by just now, there was a small ditch. There should be some aquatic plants in it. I also saw some children playing by the side, so the water must be not dirty.

After a final walk around, I found that there was no tofu being sold, as it was all sold out. However, tofu does not require a ticket, but you do need a food coupon, and the same goes for bean sprouts. It is even harder to buy than meat.

I bought some vegetables, onions, ginger and garlic for 3 cents.

After a round of shopping, I bought about 8 kilograms of bones, 5 kilograms of potatoes, 3 kilograms of vegetables, onions, ginger, and garlic. I couldn't buy anything else.

Want to buy something else? Forget it, there is none.

"Brother, there is no food at home, what should I do?"

"Where's the food?"

"Don't...don't let anyone borrow it." Qiao Yun said while counting on her fingers.

This girl only remembered that her master told her not to borrow money, food and other things, but she didn't remember a single word.

"Do you still have food coupons on you?"

"There are still 5 kilograms, but we still have 8 days until next month."

"Leave it to me. I said I won't let you suffer."

As he spoke, he pulled Qiao Yun out of the vegetable market. On one side was the police station, and on the other side was the district government. This place should be very safe. He took the ticket that Qiao Yun handed over and took 5 yuan.

Holding the small bag of noodles, he turned and went into the alley.

Bai Baoshan had no place to buy food.

But I have it in my own space.

Not to mention the warehouse, there is also the workers' canteen next to the office building, which is responsible for the food and drink of more than 6000 people in the factory.

Even at the end, there were still about 4000 people in the factory. At its peak, there were more than 7000 people in this farm.

Behind the canteen is a small warehouse specially built, which stores all kinds of food, drinks and daily necessities.

Bai Baoshan cared a lot about his employees' food and drink. Since people worked for him, regardless of how much money they received, at least they had to eat well.

But it's also Bai Baoshan's fault for not living up to expectations.

His grandfather did this, and the workers did not make trouble. Instead, they treated the factory as their own home.

Because his father did this, the workers worked day and night for him, for fear that others would say that they were feeling bad for taking so much money.

On the contrary, in Bai Baoshan's generation, the same operation could not withstand a few rumors and threats, and a huge breeding farm collapsed in an instant.

Fortunately, his grandfather and his father left him a few good cooks. Almost three generations of them had worked in the factory. It was also these cooks who finally confronted the workers holding knives and bricks at the gate...

These scenes made Bai Baoshan think about everything that had happened after he entered the kitchen.

He shook his head, walked through the kitchen and entered the warehouse. The warehouse had a fingerprint lock, which Bai Baoshan naturally had, and he had the highest authority, so he opened the door and walked in.

The warehouse is divided into several areas.

Oil products area, dried vegetables area, conditioning area, dried meat area, staple food area, boutique area, frozen area

Bai Baoshan didn't go anywhere else but to the staple food area, where there was rice, flour, corn flour, bean flour, sweet potato flour, and sorghum flour.

Anyway, it’s all about what the employees want to eat. At that time, the farm made a special system for the canteen where they could write down their orders. The next day, the chef would make appropriate changes to the dishes based on the employees’ feedback.

Gradually, the things in the warehouse became more and more numerous and diverse.

From all over the world, except for the high-end products such as bird's nest, stir-fried tripe and shark's fin, all other ingredients can be found here.

Of course, some people have come up with a menu that will make the boss go bankrupt.

If you say that eating meat can bankrupt the farms, then that is really an understatement to the farms covering tens of thousands of acres.

Don't ever mention meat. If a farm doesn't offer enough meat, that would be a slap in the face of Bai Baoshan and the chefs.

Some people even asked to eat mushrooms that had been picked in less than an hour.

This was not an easy task. With a wave of his hand and the allocation of money, a 5-acre mushroom cultivation shed was built next to the canteen.

From picking to cooking, it will definitely not take more than 30 minutes.

Even though Bai Baoshan was like this, his subordinates did not recognize him and even rebelled against him. It was extremely ridiculous. We can only say that modern people are not satisfied.

But now is not the time to be sad. I took out the bag given by Qiao Yun, scooped out two scoops of white flour, one scoop of corn flour, and one scoop of sorghum flour, stirred it up and down, and took a look. The effect was no different from coarse grains. There should be about seven or eight pounds.

He dug out another small cloth bag and scooped out three scoops of coarse corn grits, which probably weighed more than 7 or 8 kilograms.

The two bags together definitely weigh more than 16 kilograms, which is enough for two people to eat for 8 days. We can think about other things later.

He tied the two small bags together, put them on his shoulders, and walked out of the alley.

"Brother, you bought so much." Qiao Yun's eyes curved like crescent moons and she touched the bag of grain.

"Well, the money and tickets have all been spent." Bai Baoshan told a little lie.

"You bought more than I thought, brother, you are awesome."

"Hehe, they see me as an adult, they won't give me less. If you go, they will definitely give you less weight. From now on, I will go to buy food."

"Yeah, listen to me."

"Let's go home and have a good meal."

Qiao Yun carried vegetables and potatoes, and Bai Baoshan carried bones. They tied the two bags together and put them on their shoulders.

It should be because the body has absorbed the energy from the steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk in the morning, so the body is full of strength.

This body is in good condition, but it is a bit big. It will be very painful if I want to stretch and open up the meridians. However, if I want to be the best and not be bullied, I can only endure the hardships.

Now is not the time to practice. Wait until your body is fully replenished. It's okay if it hurts a little. If your body is insufficient and you hurt your foundation, that can't be replenished.

Bai Baoshan thought about it, looked at Qiao Yun beside him, and decided to find an opportunity to pass the Fengwu Skill to Qiao Yun.

The dance of dragons and phoenixes, together with the Shangqing Treasure Sutra, is the foundation of the Bai family for decades.

Without a foundation, how could Bai Baoshan kill so many people? He was probably caught as soon as he made his move.

If you ask Bai Baoshan if he regrets it, he will only say that he doesn't have much time left and not enough people have been buried with him.
