Chapter 87: Human Wealth
"Yes, I'll switch to cornmeal instead. It's a very reasonable price."
"All? Do you want to die by making such a fuss?" Wang Xiaohu wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately he covered his face, otherwise he would have been exposed.
"We have more than a dozen carts. We also have ox carts and donkey carts outside the city. It's no problem."
This is well prepared. In this case, Wang Xiaohu will not be pretentious: "Then you come with me."
Wang Xiaohu turned around and put the golden Buddha into the space. He instantly knew the situation. It was real gold, and pure gold of very high purity.
"You wait here for a moment. The food is in the bushes in front. I've asked my people to transport it over there." Wang Xiaohu came to the bushes and with a wave of his hand, 334 bags of corn flour appeared on the ground.
The transaction went smoothly. When Old Man Chen saw the grain, he began to organize a convoy to transport the grain. Everyone was in high spirits and were not afraid of anything. They were obviously afraid of being hungry.
"Then I'll leave first." After the transaction was completed, Wang Xiaohu left quickly. Without returning to Pigeon City, he turned around and went back to the courtyard.
The two pheasants are raised in this space. I hope they can reproduce more so that we don’t have to go outside to catch chickens when we want to eat them in the future.
As for Zhang Jianguo and Sha Zhu, I didn't bother with them. I had a good harvest today. I took out the little golden Buddha and looked at it for a long time. The Buddha is in my hand. Hehe, Wang Xiaohu was in a good mood.
……
1 points in the early hours.
The Pigeon Market also started to become deserted. In another hour, it would become the Ghost Market. The Ghost Market was held from 2 to a.m., of course, not every day. The Ghost Market was different from the Pigeon Market. There were no rules. Many people were scared and left.
Zhang Jianguo sighed, playing with the old item in his hand, and said, "Boss Fang, this won't work. Not only will we not make money, but even eating will become a problem."
"What can I do? There are only these old things in this tomb. If there was a piece of gold, we wouldn't be in such a difficult situation." Fang Baogen was also very upset. He worked hard for half a year but didn't make much money in the end.
"Hey? Are they transporting grain over there?" Zhang Jianguo asked, pointing at a convoy not far away. The two of them were trading at the tail end of Pigeon City. When they looked outside, they saw Old Man Chen leading the convoy towards Changping.
"I don't know whether they were transporting grain or not, but it must be good stuff. We've made a fortune." Fang Baogen finished smoking two or three cigarettes and was about to approach.
"Zhang Jianguo, hurry up, don't let them run away."
"I'll be right there, Boss Fang, don't worry." Zhang Jianguo pulled up his pants and ran out, saying, "What good things can a bunch of country bumpkins have? We can't just go and rob them of food, they might have guns."
"What do you know? Have you ever seen a farmer or production team that rich? They must have discovered some treasure. If we follow them and find out the way, we can also make a fortune." Fang Baoshan made a clear analysis. "So don't let any conflict happen later. Just investigate which production team they are from."
"Is it too far and I won't be able to get back tomorrow?" Zhang Jianguo was still thinking about going to work.
"Do you still want to get married? Do you still want to be the flower girl of your factory? Will she like you if you have no money?" Fang Baogen's three-line quality talk made Zhang Jianguo lose his temper.
Thinking of Yu Haitang's beautiful face, he shouted fiercely: "Yes!!"
"Very good, you run and get my bike here, remember to be quick, five minutes or so, I'm afraid they will have to go out of the city and change transportation." Fang Baogen fooled them for a while before telling them the final purpose.
Zhang Jianguo took the key and ran to an alley with a face full of excitement. There were bicycles there. Along the way, he began to enjoy his future, marry the most beautiful girl in the factory, and become richer than the capitalist Lou Bancheng, realizing his dream.
……
The two of them rode their bicycles all the way out of the city. When they got outside and saw someone leading a cow over, Zhang Jianguo was really impressed by Fang Baogen this time. He was completely devoted to him.
"Humph, you are still young, so learn a little. My skills are enough for you to learn for a long time."
"Of course, I will definitely hang out with you. I don't feel safe hanging out with anyone else." Zhang Jianguo smiled. He got to know the situation when he was hanging out with others. The man in front of him had a cousin named Fang Chengyu, who worked as a patrol officer in the police station and often patrolled the area near Pigeon City.
Heading north, the fields after the rain burst into life, with fireflies and screams ringing in the ears. After a few hours, the two stopped.
"Looks like it's Nanliu Village. Let's go back. Now that we know the exact location, we can find a chance to come and take a look." Fang Baogen's heart moved when he thought of the name of the village. He has been in this business for many years. There was a rumor about this village that there was a treasure here. Some said it belonged to the corrupt official Heshen, while others said it belonged to Wang Mang. There were many different rumors.
He originally thought it was just a rumor, but it seemed like there might really be a treasure there. Unfortunately, it looked like it had already been stolen, so he didn't know if he could still have the soup to drink.
"Okay, just in time to get back to work." Zhang Jianguo was still an apprentice in the factory. He didn't dare to be late, and he used all his strength to go back.
Whenever they felt exhausted, Fang Baogen would encourage them, and then they would feel full of strength again. At 7:30 in the morning, they finally returned to the city.
"This matter must be kept secret. Wait for my news." Fang Baogen dragged the bicycle over and gave his final instructions.
"No problem, Boss, you must take me with you to make a fortune."
"Don't worry, there's meat for you to eat. Go to work and don't arouse suspicion."
……
After Wang Xiaohu came back last night, he has been playing with the golden Buddha in his hand. Although he doesn't know from what era it is, he doesn't like something because of its age, he just likes it.
When I woke up, it was already past seven o'clock. I opened the door and was startled by a figure standing at the door.
"Silly Zhu? What are you doing? Want to scare people so early in the morning?"
"Shh... don't let anyone hear it." Sha Zhu looked around like a guilty thief, especially behind him, and found that Yan Bugui did not open the door, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Xiaohu, how did I treat you before?"
"Hey? Why do you ask this question? Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Wang Xiaohu looked at the fool in surprise. Is there any need to ask this?
When Sha Zhu heard this, he thought it sounded familiar and quickly changed the subject: "I know you don't lack meat at home, I want to buy two kilograms."
When talking about buying, he lowered his voice to the lowest level, as if he was afraid that others would hear him.
"No way. If I sell it to you, it will be speculation. What if you report me later? I won't do that." Wang Xiaohu almost laughed out loud. Is he so stupid that he would give up the evidence voluntarily?
"I won't tell anyone. To tell you the truth, Yu Shui is back and I'm going to cook her some meat." Sha Zhu said embarrassedly. He didn't buy any meat at the Pigeon Market last night, so when he came back he thought the only family in the yard that had meat was the Wang family in the front yard, so he came over with a shameless face.
"You're not going to work today?"
"It's okay. I'll cook breakfast here. My apprentice is in the cafeteria. Just go there at 11 o'clock." Sha Zhu said nonchalantly, "I'll give you 3 yuan per pound. How about that?"
Wang Xiaohu looked up and down and thought, this guy is too bold.
"Even though you said that, I still can't sell it to you, but you can exchange it for something. Anything is fine as long as it's good."
"Exchange? I don't have anything valuable." Sha Zhu thought for a long time, but there was no old thing at home.
"No, no, you do have, like your cookbook, recipes and stuff."
When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately became angry: "I didn't expect you to dare to peek at my family's ancestral craftsmanship. I misjudged you."
Wang Xiaohu waved his hand indifferently: "I didn't force you. If you don't want to change, forget it. I don't want it anymore."
He wanted the recipe simply because Zhang Hailian and Zhang Lanxi's cooking was so bad that all the meat and fish were wasted.
