To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough
Chapter 484 4 Courtyard I am a bully who I am afraid of 14
Li Yujin was also not feeling well. He had eaten too much fried food and a blister appeared at the corner of his mouth. He hurriedly took out a cup of spiritual spring water from the space and drank it. The ulcer at the corner of his mouth slowly healed.
Li Yujin sat in a rocking chair, lost in thought: "Next time, I won't hurt myself. This is so fucking painful."
Life was so dull, but by the end of 46, prices had skyrocketed.
One million and two hundred thousand French francs could only buy one hundred kilograms of flour. Nowadays, people had to carry money in sacks when going out to buy food and vegetables.
Monkey and his friends now have to use a cart to collect money every day when they are open for business, otherwise there will be no space for the bills.
I can't keep a penny of this money, I have to spend it all. The prices of dollars and gold in the market are going crazy.
One million and two hundred thousand French francs could only be exchanged for one dollar, and two dollars could buy a bag of flour. But no matter how much French francs you had, no one was willing to exchange them for dollars.
Reality is so heartbreaking. Dali and his friends work hard all day and are only a little better off than others. They can just eat all they want of cornmeal.
The plight of the common people also highlights the prosperity of these people, among whom the most lucrative are the high-ranking officials.
Each one of them carried a briefcase and made a fortune. However, the four-nine-year-old city and Tianjin were exceptions, and the officials who took over the business called it bad luck.
Li Yujin had plundered all the wool, and the rest were just some small vegetables. There was no profit to be made.
It’s the end of the year and it’s not easy for every family. Seeing his friends looking worried, Li Yujin sighed and said, “Hey, I’ll contact a friend.
In Fengtai, there was a cow pulling stones and fell into a pit and died. I ate the cow.
Tomorrow you should prepare to sell a batch of braised beef. Remember to sell it to rich people so that you can get some money.
This French currency is becoming worthless. Save some of your money and you'll see the hard times ahead!
The monkey stood up from the stool at once: "Mushu, you are really awesome, this thing is really awesome! This is top-notch stuff.
With this, we're sure to make a fortune before the New Year. Just give the rest to me and I'll sell it all in one day."
What else could Li Yujin do? He braised more than 100 kilograms of beef that day. The delicious smell made people drool.
Monkey Dali and his companions broke up into smaller groups and contacted the previously extravagant customers: "Boss Yoshang has some top-notch braised beef, would you like some?
But this batch of goods was bought back with a lot of money, you see? Don't worry, I'll leave you two beef shanks."
Good things are really easy to sell. You can buy two pounds of braised beef for only one dollar. Even this can't stop the foodies from eating it.
Before the Lunar New Year, Li Yujin sold 600 kilograms of braised beef for 300 yuan, leaving 200 yuan for the raw materials and profit.
The remaining money was divided equally among Monkey and his friends, and each family got a few dollars this time.
This was real money, enough to buy four or five bags of flour. Li Yujin told the group to quickly convert their money into food, as the real hard times were yet to come.
People these days are very indulgent. Monkey and his friends didn't dare to buy much white flour. It would be great if they could buy three or five pounds of white flour for the whole family to have a meal of cabbage and pork dumplings during the New Year.
All the money in his hand was exchanged for food such as cornmeal and dried sweet potatoes. Monkey even felt that the mouth of the wooden comb was as accurate as if it had been blessed. The most important thing was to make sure that he did not suffer any loss in any work.
As expected, things started to get turbulent after the Lunar New Year, with food grabbing incidents happening all over the country. Starving citizens looted all the major grain stores, leaving nothing behind.
The battle between the Blue and Red factions was in full swing, and all kinds of exorbitant taxes and levies were plentiful. Business was really sporadic, and there was no braised meat to sell.
A group of people could only deliver water to old customers, and the firewood at the city gate was intermittent due to the martial law that was in effect every few days.
Monkey and his friends used their connections and asked for favors, and they managed to buy a few carts of coal. These were all precious treasures, and they were all stored in the house, under the bed where Monkey slept, there were coal briquettes.
If you don't keep an eye on it, you can lose a few dollars in the blink of an eye. It's just a poor thing. It's not easy at all for people who work nowadays.
Salaries have been changed from weekly to daily. In May, a pound of white flour sold for 36 yuan, and you might not even be able to buy it. Food is now hard currency.
White flour and rice are both valuable commodities that are in short supply, and the supply of corn flour is intermittent. People in the entire city are almost going crazy.
Every morning, without combing their hair or washing their faces, countless people would go to the grain store with sacks of cash to queue up to buy grain.
People would grab whatever the grain store was selling. If they couldn't grab the grain, elm leaves would become valuable. The elm trees inside and outside the city suffered.
Adults and children took bags and started picking up the elm seeds as soon as they emerged. After eating the elm seeds, they ate the leaves and even the bark.
After the elm tree had eaten the leaves, the poplar and willow trees were not spared. The poplar leaves were blanched in water to remove some of the bitter taste.
Add 10% mixed noodles and steam it in a pot. When the water boils, steam it for three to five minutes and it will be cooked. Serve it in a bowl and add some leftover pickled vegetable soup to make a meal.
This tree will die if its bark is peeled off, so many people simply cut down the tree and take it home to use as firewood.
Only then did the monkeys admire Li Yujin's foresight. This wasn't just a difficult life; it was pure torture.
Fortunately, I listened to Mu Shu and stored some food in the past few years, so I can still have enough cornmeal porridge to drink.
Li Yujin has now become so low-key that he no longer dares to torture the people in the neighboring courtyard.
Every day when I go out and queue up with a group of people, I pretend to be serious. I often hold an empty pocket in my hand and look melancholy.
Now Li Yujin has to put on makeup every time she goes out, otherwise others will look pale while she will look rosy and fair, which will make it easy for thieves to target her.
Jia Zhang from the next courtyard spat bitterly, "Second Auntie, did you see that? The little bastard from the Li family next door didn't get any food yesterday.
"Hey, dragging the flour bag and sighing, he looks like a chicken that has been struck by plague!"
Liu Haizhong's wife also echoed: "Who says it's not true? Young people don't calculate. Once they make a little money, they don't know where to go.
He must be in trouble now after eating so much! It's not okay to have no adults at home. If he hadn't eaten so many fried foods, he could have had cornmeal porridge this year.
I saw him the day before yesterday, and his face was so pale from hunger. This is the retribution for showing off!
Look at this kid, he's just like his prodigal father, neither of them knows how to live."
Li Yujin, who knew how to live, was eating in the house. A talisman for purifying the smell was pasted on the window. There was nothing he could do because the people in the next yard had very sensitive noses.
On the table were a plate of deep-fried hairtail, a plate of braised pork, a plate of braised southern and northern vegetables, a plate of stir-fried prawns, and a bowl of vegetarian stew.
Li Yujin ate a big bowl of rouge rice with his mouth full of oil. His life of four dishes and one soup was really full of sunshine.
