Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

After Zhong Yuemin reacted, he punched Ning Yuan hard in the chest.

"Fuck, you're definitely asking for too low a price. You're losing money! I bet he'll take five thousand even if you say so!"

"Fuck you, I deserve to die!"

Ning Yuan wanted to hit himself again, but then he comforted himself helplessly.

"Forget it. Yesterday we were only planning to sell it for 1,500, but now it's doubled. Just be content! Next time, I'll let the girl bid first!"

Ning Yuan directly ordered thirty tickets of Great Unity and handed them to Zhong Yuemin.

Then he pretended to put the remaining money into the bag, but actually put the money directly into the space in his right hand when he reached into the bag.

This is the safest way. If it gets stolen or lost again, Ning Yuan will go crazy.

I have money! What should I do with money? Of course, I spend it.

Ning Yuan and Zhong Yuemin excitedly rode their bikes to Caishikou Street, not far from Taoranting.

There is also a Xiaoshi Market under the old wall at the intersection of Caishikou and Xuanwumen Street.

The scale is not large, but it mainly trades food and drinks.

Ning Yuan had given all the food reserves at home to Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun, Fan Xinhua and others yesterday, and they had to buy more food to take back.

Ning Yuan also realized that he would inevitably have to go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth by the end of next year.

In the TV series, Ning Wei followed Zhong Yuemin and others to the countryside to work in the fields. If his original self had not been stabbed to death by the little bastard, he would probably have had to go through this as well.

Going to the countryside to work in the fields is really hard. There is really nothing to eat or drink. You can really starve to death.

Although there is a shortage of supplies in the city right now, there is still market liquidity. The most important thing is to slowly collect supplies and save enough living supplies for a few years in the countryside.

It's safest to put a little into the space at a time and accumulate it over time. You can't suddenly stockpile several tons of grain or thousands of kilograms of meat into the space just before going to the countryside to join the production team. Market supervision will have to come out to deal with you.

Ning Yuan took out three Great Unity tickets and held them in his hand. After parking his bicycle, he and Zhong Yuemin entered the small market together.

Zhong Yuemin is a person who doesn't care about money at all. He spends money lavishly when he has it and never treats himself badly.

I bought a lot of malt sugar, candied haws, Erguotou, apples, oranges, and canned meat.

Ning Yuan watched Zhong Yuemin lingering in the small market and buying things everywhere, so he ignored him and went to a corner where grain was sold.

Most of the vendors were selling their goods with a woven bag, except for a man in his sixties who was driving a donkey cart.

The carts were filled with bags of grain, mainly corn flour, red flour and white flour.

There were forty or fifty bags of grain on the donkey cart, each bag weighing fifty or sixty kilograms.

Ning Yuan was a little surprised. With such a large amount of food, given the current situation, if he was caught, he would probably be beaten.

Looking at the old man's hunched body curled up in the grain bag on the cart, Ning Yuan couldn't help but feel curious, so he went up to him and asked.

"Master, where did you get so much food?"

"This is the little bit of food that our whole village has saved. I trust my old man and he let me go to the city to sell it in exchange for some cloth, fruit, melon seeds, peanuts, etc. The New Year is just around the corner, and I want to buy some New Year's goods for every household!"

When the old man heard someone coming up to him to ask questions, he had no intention of hiding anything and just told everything.

"Uncle, how much do you sell this grain for? We need to buy grain for our compound, so I'll buy it all. How much do you want?"

When Ning Yuan saw the large amount of grain displayed here, he instantly lost interest in selling the thirty or fifty kilograms in small quantities.

"Kid, you are not kidding me, an old man. You want all this food?" The old man sat up in shock after hearing Ning Yuan's words.

Fortunately, his corner was relatively remote and there were not many people around, otherwise their conversation would have been really scary.

"I'll take it all, uncle. Just tell me how much you want to sell it for. You don't have to send it. Just help me unload the grain here. I'll find someone to move it back to the compound myself!"

Ning Yuan saw that the old man was very honest and wanted to help him, as life was not easy for people in the countryside.

If we meet someone with a small mind who can't stand others doing well and reports it, then this truckload of grain will definitely be lost.

This is the New Year's money for the whole village. If an accident happens, the old man will probably have to die to atone for his sin.

"Okay, okay, kid, I'll unload it for you right away. There are a total of 45 bags of food left. Forty bags of corn flour and red flour, each bag is 60 catties, and they sell for 6 yuan. We have weighed enough. There are also five bags of white flour, each bag is 50 catties, and they sell for 7 yuan."

As the old man spoke, he started to carry the things down one bag at a time.

"No problem, uncle. Forty bags of coarse grains are two hundred and forty yuan, right? Five bags of white flour are thirty-five yuan. Uncle, you're selling them really cheaply. I'll make it a round sum for you, two hundred and eighty yuan."

Ning Yuan didn't want to take advantage of the old man, so he simply gave him five more dollars.

After counting out the twenty-eight Great Unity bills and handing them to the old man, Ning Yuan also helped the old man unload the grain bags.

Ten minutes later, Ning Yuan urged the old man to hurry up and buy the things he wanted to buy, and firmly declined the old man's kindness to send the things to his home.

After the old man drove away in his donkey cart, no one paid any attention to this already remote corner.

Ning Yuan looked around cautiously before putting all forty-five bags of grain into the space in one breath.

Leaving this little corner, Ning Yuan ran to the crowded area to find Zhong Yuemin.

On the way, I bought some eggs, flour, rice, apples and oranges and carried them in my hands.

When Zhong Yuemin saw Ning Yuan, he immediately stuffed a lot of cloth bags into Ning Yuan's hands as if he had seen a savior.

Seeing that there was really no more to buy, I stopped the urge to buy.

The two of them returned to the compound carrying bags full of food and drinks.

Ning Yuan first helped Zhong Yuemin put his things in his house.

Only then did he pack up the ten kilograms of flour, ten kilograms of rice, five or six kilograms of apples and oranges, and more than ten kilograms of eggs that he had bought and took them back home.

When little Ning Wei saw Ning Yuan's hands full of things, he was stunned. After Ning Yuan shouted a few times in annoyance, he hurried out to take the eggs and apples.

After putting everything away, Ning Yuan just sat down when little Ning Wei had already washed an apple, cut it in half, and brought it to Ning Yuan.

"You kid are really useless. From now on, we should eat this fruit whole. Why cut it? If others see it, they will think we can't afford it! Go, wash another one, one for each of us!" Ning Yuan scolded with a smile.

Then he reached out and took the half-eaten apple on the coffee table, took a bite, and it was crispy, sweet, and juicy. It was so delicious!
