Chapter 93 Xu Damao comes to kill someone (page 14)
Hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, He Yuzhu asked: "Old Yi, are you illiterate? I run a tavern and a braised pork stall, and I don't sell food? How can I sell flour to you?"
Yi Zhonghai pretended not to hear He Yuzhu calling him Lao Yi.
You know that He Yuzhu used this topic as a distraction. If he had an argument, he would change his previous words after talking for a long time.
Said: "Of course I know how to read, and I know that you sell braised pork, but don't you sell steamed buns? How could there be no food in the store?"
"I have food in stock, but do I still want to continue selling steamed buns? If you want to buy food, just go to the food store opposite."
He Yuzhu can sell it to the workers in the shop, or give it to his master and his wife. He also plans to sell some grain to his brothers for 20 cents.
But it was impossible for Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard to buy cheap food from himself.
Liu Haizhong said: "Now that the price of food is so high, why are you selling steamed buns? If you transfer the food to us, the neighbors will still miss you."
"Yes, Zhuzi, aren't you going to lose money selling buns now? Last time I took you to buy antiques and made a fortune. You can't watch us starve to death."
He Yuzhu now knew why the three of them came together.
Yi Zhonghai spoke first, and after he refused, Liu Haizhong and Xu Wood came to kidnap him morally.
I don’t know how the three of them discussed it. It stands to reason that if Xu Wood came here alone, he would definitely sell him a favor and give him some food.
Of course you won't sell it to him for 3 cents, at least 3 cents. After all, the price of food on the market has risen to cents, so giving him a three cents discount is already a loss of face.
He Yuzhu said: "Since you said that, I will give Uncle Xu a face. How much grain do you want, I will transfer it to you at the price of thirty cents."
People in 49 City are actually very respectful when going out. The main reason is that there are so many rich and powerful people here who have treated others with special respect since ancient times.
Most of the time, even the younger people use you, and the older ones use uncle and aunt.
Logically speaking, Xu Wood was not as old as He Daqing, so he could just be called uncle. However, it was not wrong to call him uncle. He Yuzhu sometimes just called him uncle casually.
But if you call him alone, sometimes just call him Uncle Xu, that's fine.
"Three cents? Can't it be cheaper?" Xu Wood said it was too expensive.
He Yuzhu said: "I asked in the morning that the price had already risen to 3 cents. By tomorrow it will probably be 3 cents." Besides, I was so close to the grain store before. There was no food in the store at all. It was delivered the night before and used up on the second day. How could I have money to buy food? '
After saying this, the brows of the three people relaxed a little. Before, they only thought that He Yuzhu used a large amount of flour every day and there should be food in stock. However, they did not expect that it was too close to the grain store and there was no need to store food at all. The grain store would provide it every day. Just delivery.
He Yuzhu said: "I just saved some yesterday. If you want it, it's only 3 cents per catty. If you don't want it, forget it. Go to the grain store and they charge cents."
At this time, Dayong came in from outside and shouted: "The price of grain sold in the grain store has increased again. Now flour costs 3 cents."
"What? It's two points higher than in the morning?"
"Are you still going to let people live?"
"Where are the officials? Why don't you drag out all these grain sellers and behead them?"
"Deserves to be killed."
The three uncles all heard the discussion and looked at each other. Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly.
Then Xu Wood said: "Okay, Zhuzi, three cents is three cents, how many kilograms can you give us?"
He Yuzhu tapped the table with his fingers and fell into deep thought.
I didn't originally plan to sell the flour in the space. After all, selling food at high prices at this time would be easily discovered by the people from the Military Control Commission, and I wouldn't be able to explain it even if I had the words to do so.
But now that three of them came to their door and sold them some high-priced grain, this was not considered reselling.
They are all neighbors. They are asking for transfer, but they cannot sue the Military Control Commission.
Even if they reported themselves, they didn't sell it to anyone else, but they were fine this time.
In the early days, I bought the food in the space for 1 cents. Now I sell it directly to them for 5 cents, which is equivalent to making double the profit.
This price is no longer low.
You can sell it to them now, and then buy it back after a period of time when the price of food drops.
Every time you go in and out, you make money.
"How much do you want?"
He Yuzhu warned again: "But not too many. We have been neighbors for many years. I can't watch you go hungry."
"Do you have 500 kilograms of grain?" Yi Zhonghai asked.
Then he explained: "Zhuzi, this is not food for the three of us, but food bought for everyone in the entire courtyard."
It was Yi Zhonghai's suggestion to find He Yuzhu today. Seeing that the prices in the grain stores were getting higher and higher day by day, and all the grain stores had restricted sales.
It doesn’t mean that you can just sell it for 3 cents a pound now, you can buy as much as you want.
These people in the grain store are not stupid either. They know how to make maximum profits. Of course, the grain that each person buys will be limited.
Such a long queue outside the grain store is telling others that food is tight at the moment, making everyone anxious.
Especially as food prices rise day by day, more people are encouraged to join the queue.
In this way, grain stores can make a lot of profits.
As the elected masters of the hospital, Yi Zhonghai and the three of them wanted to use this opportunity to get food from He Yuzhu, so that everyone could eat it.
Although the price of 3 cents per pound is a bit more than previously thought, the price at the grain store has now increased to 5 cents, and I can already make a delivery after getting a batch of cents of grain.
Now the status of the three courtyard masters will be more solid and prestigious.
He Yuzhu also guessed their plan, but now He Yuzhu lives behind the tavern, rarely returns to the courtyard, and does not want to get involved in the calculations inside.
"500 pounds? That's okay, but it's daytime now. I'll deliver it in the evening."
During the day, you can only pull the white flour from the warehouse behind, but if you wait until night, He Yuzhu can take out the flour from the space and deliver it.
When the time comes, no one will notice.
"Okay, it's night, but you can't let our pigeons go."
"Don't worry, I keep my word, it's in the grain warehouse."
After seeing off the three uncles, He Yuzhu rode his bicycle out and went to Tiedan's house first. He left a bag of white noodles and received 10 yuan.
Then I went to the homes of those brothers and ran around so that every family would not be short of food.
At night, He Yuzhu suddenly found that his business was much better.
Then he asked the regular customers who often come here to drink: "Why don't you guys cook tonight? Are you here to eat?"
