Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder
Chapter 6: Encountering a strong man and a pregnant rabbit on the road.
Soon, Xu Dongsheng came out of the grain station without any problems, because Xu Dongsheng didn't buy much, just two pounds in total, and he didn't buy only fine grains. Xu Dongsheng asked for one ounce of dry rice, one or two ounces of barley, two ounces of sweet potatoes, and one ounce of corn. A total of half a pound, which cost one yuan and thirty cents.
As for why he bought so little, it was not until Xu Dongsheng arrived at the grain store and was asked why he had to buy raw grain that he realized it. Because when he arrived at the grain store, Xu Dongsheng learned that to buy seeds, you need raw grain coupons. Xu Dongsheng, who had never bought seeds in his life, was not clear about it. He only found out when he arrived.
So Xu Dongsheng had to settle for the next best thing, saying that he had found a folk remedy to use as a medicine for making medicine. Finally, people sold him the seeds at the price of refined powder. In the end, he spent one dollar and got half a pound of seeds.
After getting the seeds and leaving the grain store, Xu Dongsheng immediately found a remote place and put the few seeds into the hemispherical space. After entering the hemispherical space, Xu Dongsheng discovered that the orchid he had planted seemed to have multiplied. Originally there was only one tree, but now there were several new seedlings.
There are 300 corns in these two taels, more than 500 barley grains, 3 sweet potatoes, 400 rice grains, and some are empty shells that cannot be used as seeds. As for why Xu Dongsheng knew this, it was because he already had the number in his mind when these seeds entered the hemispherical space.
After all the grain seeds were planted, Xu Dongsheng only used a quarter of the land in his hemisphere. However, Xu Dongsheng believed that this piece of land would be planted with various crops in no time.
Because Xu Dongsheng had already guessed about the second hexagram of Qian for Heaven. Even if six hours corresponded to a quarter of an hour, then one hour corresponded to one day, and that one day was equivalent to twenty-four days. With such a large time difference, if it was used for planting, wouldn't it be a direct induction of labor?
After planting all the seeds, Xu Dongsheng put the grain purchase certificates, grain coupons and the remaining money into the hemispherical space and placed them suspended. That's right, the things he put in did not have to be placed on the ground, but could be suspended in the air.
As for the time difference, we will talk about it when we get back tonight. And there is also the new line on the grain purchase certificate that I may need to explain to Lao Xu tonight.
Xu Dongsheng didn't think much and went out of the imperial city.
Although there were not many people outside Dongzhimen, there were still quite a few people. Xu Dongsheng came to the location where the Pigeon City was in his memory, put his hands in his pockets and looked around.
Suddenly Xu Dongsheng found a middle-aged man squatting in the corner at the foot of the city wall. The man had dark skin and was wearing a worn black trousers and a light earth-colored top made of coarse cloth that had been patched countless times. There was a pile of weeds in front of him. In this situation, generally speaking, there is something to sell or exchange.
Xu Dongsheng had not expected that he could still buy things today even though the market was not open. He had originally planned to come to the suburbs to chat with one or two people and complete the sixth line, but he did not expect to have an unexpected gain.
"Comrade, what's the good stuff?"
When the man saw Xu Dongsheng, he stood up suddenly and looked at Xu Dongsheng eagerly.
"A rabbit. A live rabbit. One rabbit weighs one pound, nine ounces, and eight cents."
The man saw what Xu Dongsheng was wearing. Although Xu Dongsheng's clothes had many patches, he could tell from his temperament that Xu Dongsheng was not an ordinary person. So when the middle-aged man saw Xu Dongsheng, he immediately couldn't wait to tell him about his things. After saying the types, he even told him the weight in detail.
What he needs now is money, because there are big canteens in the countryside and they can eat for free, but he has no money now. His youngest son is seriously ill and it costs two yuan to treat him. Two yuan sounded like very little money in Xu Dongsheng's previous life. Maybe if it fell on the ground and there was some dirt on it, no one would be willing to bend down to pick it up.
But two yuan at this time can really save lives, especially in rural areas. One cent can make a man feel overwhelmed, let alone two yuan.
"Rabbit? Alive?"
When Xu Dongsheng heard that it was a live rabbit, his eyes lit up immediately. In the hemispherical space, this living thing was the only thing that had not been tested. He had tried it himself, but couldn't get it into the hemispherical space. So now he was trying to see if other things could be sent into the hemispherical space. If that was the case, he would be able to raise them.
"Yes, alive. Only two cents away from two catties. And it's a pregnant female rabbit. If she's kept for a while, she'll definitely have a litter of baby rabbits. Plus twenty catties of grass, two dollars, no food coupons, is that okay?"
When the man saw Xu Dongsheng's eyes, he immediately felt that there was something going on, and quickly told Xu Dongsheng that it was a pregnant female rabbit. It must be said that the situation the man described seduced Xu Dongsheng.
If the hemispherical space could be used to raise living things, then only a small part of the one and a half acres of yellow land would be used now, and half of the space could be used to raise animals.
However, we still have to study whether it is possible to separate a part of the hemispherical space, otherwise we have to find a way to get some wood in to make a fence.
"Two dollars? No, good pork is only 70 cents a pound. Rabbits are fat and not oily. Even if they are pregnant, they can't be worth two dollars. I'll give you two pounds, 75 cents a pound. This is the price of fat meat. And even if it's alive, I can't keep it. This thing is only valuable for tasting it, so I can offer you 1.5. Do you want to do it? If you do, take me to see it. If not, forget it."
Although Xu Dongsheng wanted to verify whether living things could be placed in the hemispherical space, he did not want to be a sucker. After absorbing the original owner's memory, Xu Dongsheng also knew the prices. The drought was not very serious now and everyone could still survive, so supplies were not so scarce. Although food coupons were needed, they were available on the black market.
So Xu Dongsheng still chose to lower the price. The reason for this was that he only had one dollar and fifty cents on him. Because Old Xu doted on him, Xu Dongsheng didn't have any pocket money on him.
This morning I brought out two dollars and fifty cents, and bought one dollar and twenty cents worth of grain seeds, leaving me with one dollar and thirty cents. Together with the thirty cents left from yesterday's purchase of wine, the total was only one dollar and sixty cents, which was four cents short of the two dollars the man had asked for, so Xu Dongsheng added one pound of grain coupons.
In fact, the total price is more than two yuan, because a pound of food coupons now costs 80 cents per pound on the black market.
"This~"
Hearing Xu Dongsheng's words, the man couldn't hide his expression, but remained silent for a moment.
"Okay, one dollar and fifty cents is one dollar and fifty cents."
After a while, the man gritted his teeth and chose to sell it for 1.5 yuan, because it was much higher than his expectation. Xu Dongsheng was telling the truth and the price he gave was already very high. The current price of meat is divided into three grades. Half-fat and half-lean meat is 67 cents, good meat with more fat and less lean is only 74 cents per pound, and the worst lean meat is 58 cents. Pig offal can be got for only 30 cents. Of course, food coupons are required for all of them.
This does not require food coupons. Xu Dongsheng gave him the highest price for pork. If it doesn't work, he is not a householder who doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are. He must have this because this thing will definitely be sold during the big market.
"Okay, take me to see it."
Seeing the man agreed, Xu Dongsheng was relieved. It wasn't that he didn't want to give more. Even if he guessed that the man might be in urgent need of money, so he came to sell things outside the market hours, and his goal was very clear, which was two yuan, he must be in urgent need, but Xu Dongsheng couldn't do anything. Now he only had this much money, and he didn't know the specific situation. The man didn't ask him for help, so why bother to get involved?
Then the two of them headed towards a small mound outside the city.
