Eating melons

After shopping, they went to the department store again. They didn’t need to buy anything, but Liu Jiaojiao and Wu Mei did.

Each of them only bought a bottle of ink and waited for them nearby.

Wei Wei was speechless when she saw that all Liu Jiaojiao bought was food.

Wei Wei: "Don't you have some vanishing cream? I heard it's very dry here in the winter, and your face will be dry and flaky."

Liu Jiaojiao only remembered this after hearing her reminder, "Yes, yes, I still need to buy some vanishing cream. I forgot about it. I've been feeling a bit dry these past few days, and I'm almost out of vanishing cream."

After saying that, he asked for two more bottles of vanishing cream. Wu Mei also bought two bottles, but they were not vanishing cream, but clam oil.

Seeing Liu Jiaojiao approaching her like this, Jiang Qi whispered in her ear, "You can buy some more clam oil. When you use the kang later, your legs will become dry and peeling."

As for why they said it in other people's ears, it was naturally because their behavior was very eye-catching. After all, few people are willing to use clam oil on their faces now, let alone using clam oil on their legs. If others heard it, they would be scolded to death.

Wu Mei was standing close by and heard what Jiang Qi said, so she also took two more bottles.

Seeing Wei Wei and Jiang Qi standing nearby, who only bought one bottle of ink, Liu Jiaojiao was a little curious, "Aren't you guys buying anything?"

Wei Wei: “We bought quite a few more.”

This is not cheap to buy. You can use the money to buy things and sell them to the system mall, and then use the money to buy more than two bottles in the system mall. There are plenty of these things in the system mall, and they are cheap.

They also have ink, but they will definitely use more ink in the winter, and since no one would send them so much ink, they only buy a bottle to get the connection.

As for vanishing cream and clam oil, I bought one bottle each last time I came, and the rest can be bought at the system mall.

It was almost noon when they finished buying things, so the four of them walked towards the state-owned restaurant. Yu Xi was already there, but Li Zhibin and Xiao Xuemu didn't see him.

As soon as Liu Jiaojiao saw Yu Xi, she walked over and asked, "Brother Yu, what did you buy?"

Seeing her like this, Wei Wei and Jiang Qi looked at each other and saw each other's serious interest.

Anyway, it's a drama when the two of them are together, and the drama becomes even more exciting when Jiang Qi is added. Wei Wei is very happy every time she eats the melon.

Yu Xi: "Jiang Zhiqing, are you guys going to the bookstore? What kind of books does Jiang Zhiqing like to read?"

Wei Wei's eyes lit up when she heard this. Sure enough, Liu Jiaojiao and Jiang Qi both looked unhappy.

Jiang Qi: "I don't like reading. I'm here to accompany Weiwei. Yu Zhiqing, you eat first. Weiwei and I will go order the food."

After saying that, she pulled Wei Wei and ran away. Anyway, she refused to communicate with Yu Xi.

One reason is that the original owner had an unclear relationship with this male protagonist, and in the end this male protagonist was with the original owner's toxic best friend, which was enough to disgust her. Another reason is that she is not interested in this kind of boy.

Jiang Qi: "Today we have chicken stewed with mushrooms and sweet and sour pork. Let's order a takeaway and take it home for dinner."

Wei Wei: "Okay."

While they were enjoying their meal at the state-owned restaurant, Xiao Xuemu and Li Zhibin were busy in the black market.

After parting with a few people, Xiao Xuemu first arranged for Li Zhibin to buy a few more sacks, and he went to the rented small courtyard first.

When he came to the county before, he rented a small yard.

He had caught a lot of pheasants, ducks and rabbits last night and put them in cages, and now he has put them all in the yard.

There is not much food in the space, and it is not easy to manage. Not only does it have to be planted, but it also has to be harvested. Moreover, food is not as valuable as meat, so he does not plan to plant more or sell it.

For example, the main crops grown in the grain space are sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and soybeans.

Soybeans are used for oil extraction and are not grown in large quantities. The other crops are mainly planted to feed the large flock of poultry.

There aren't many edible plants, but there are quite a few fruit trees.

When it was almost time for winter, Li Zhibin and I bought a few pigs. It just so happened that the more than ten pigs had grown up and the sows were about to give birth.

He found that there were a lot of medicinal herbs in the Northeast. He didn't plan to raise so many chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. next year. He had to work now and didn't have much time to raise them. He only needed to raise a small amount to eat himself.

Next year I can plant more valuable medicinal herbs. As for raising animals, I will only raise valuable ones like pigs and sheep, but I don’t plan to raise more.

Now that I have some free time, I will try to get more medicinal herb seeds and plant them all during the winter. Next year I won’t be as busy as this year.

During this year's autumn harvest, he had little time to take care of the space. Before going to the countryside, he deliberately dealt with everything in the space, for fear that he would be too busy in the countryside. Most of the poultry left in the space were kept for his own consumption, and the rest were all sold.

However, the space is like spring all year round. In just two or three months, the number of rabbits in the space has increased several times, and many chickens, ducks and geese have also been hatched.

We caught most of them last night and used up more than twenty cages. We must get rid of them all today and free up space before they go into hibernation.

There are four black markets in the county. Today he plans to go to one of them with Li Zhibin to sell these things.

As soon as Li Zhibin came back, he saw the yard full of pheasants, wild ducks, domestic chickens, domestic ducks, domestic geese and rabbits. There were the most rabbits, the whole yard was full of them, about fifty or sixty of them.

Li Zhibin: "Brother Xiao, so many this time? The Northeast is different, with abundant supplies."

Xiao Xuemu: "We're going to sell all of these things today. It's the same old rule, but this time, no matter how much you sell, you can take 30% for yourself."

Li Zhibin: "Okay."

After all, he had paid for the goods 50-50 when he was in Beijing before. This time he didn't pay a penny. It was already very good that he could get 30% just by helping to sell the goods.

After saying that, he picked up the sack and packed it up. It was almost nine o'clock now and he had to go back at two o'clock in the afternoon. There were still so many goods to process, so he had to hurry.

As for walking back slowly? That's absolutely impossible. It would take more than two hours to take a ox cart, and you might not be able to get there even if you walk for three hours.

The two of them were already familiar with the four black areas here, so they just went there with their things.

Li Zhibin went to the black market near the hospital, while Xiao Xuemu went to the black market under the overpass.

Li Zhibin opened his business soon after paying the fee to enter the black market. After all, it was all meat, and everyone was short of oil and water now, so many people gathered around to buy when they saw it.

Li Zhibin was so busy that he had no time to spare. Now, people from the countryside had just finished the autumn harvest, and many of them had money and wanted to buy some delicious food to replenish their energy.

City people are always short of everything, so when they finally find someone selling meat, they rush to buy more while there is still plenty.

Unlike Li Zhibin who sold alone, Xiao Xuemu directly found the boss of the black market, whom he had known the last time he came.

After separating from Li Zhibin, Xiao Xuemu took out a lot of rabbits that he had packed last night from the space and came to a small alley near the overpass.

I came to the gate and knocked on the door, "Is Brother Dao here?"

"Here, here we come."

A rough voice was heard, and the door opened as soon as it was spoken. A man had a scar on his face, under his eye, running from the bridge of his nose to behind his ear.

"Brother Xiao is here, come in quickly."

Brother Dao saw the sacks behind Xiao Xuemu and quickly asked someone to come in and helped carry two of them.

Brother Dao: "Brother Xiao is here to bring goods."

Xiao Xuemu: "Brother Dao, take a look. I have plenty if you want."

Brother Dao opened the sack and took a look. There were six rabbits, three pheasants and three wild ducks, all of which were very fat.

Brother Dao: "Yes, they are all good stuff. This rabbit must weigh four or five pounds! The same goes for the pheasant and duck. We are familiar with each other, and this will be a long-term business. I won't cheat you. They are all one dollar per pound. I will take all the ones you have. How about it?"

This price is reasonable. If you sell it individually on the black market, it would only cost one yuan and fifty cents per pound at most, and you would have to bargain over it, which is a waste of time.

Xiao Xuemu: "Okay, I'll go get the rest."

After leaving the yard, Xiao Xuemu kept paying attention to what was behind him. Only when he felt that no one was coming did he walk towards the rented yard.

There were a lot of things missing from the yard. It seemed that Li Zhibin had already come back once, and he would be able to sell them all in two or three more trips.

So Xiao Xuemu only took a small portion, and the rest were taken from the space. It was just enough to deal with all the poultry caught last night. If he did it two more times, he would be able to buy almost all the poultry in the space.

Finally, I had lunch at Brother Dao's place, and when I came out, I had more than 500 yuan in my pocket.
