1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

After all, this was a big deal, and the black market boss also took a gamble.

If this really worked, he would be able to gain a foothold in the city of Sijiu. If it didn't work, Zhao Daqiang would give him a signal with the flashlight, and he would rush over at all costs to get the 2000 yuan back.

After completing the transaction, Li Weiguo returned to Yuelai's stall with his two salted fish.

What surprised Li Weiguo was that Zhao Daqiang came to him again not long after.

"Little brother, are you still willing to sell those...things of yours?"

His voice was so quiet that only they could hear each other.

"Didn't your boss say that there was only that little money? Could it be that... you want it yourself?"

Zhao Daqiang chuckled twice: "Although I don't have cash, I have tickets. Think about the people who came with you. They may need something. Our tickets are of good quality and low price. I guarantee that they will be satisfied!"

The reason why he said this was because he had noticed traces everywhere during the transaction just now, and he was now sure that the other party did not come alone.

And from what the little brother said, they brought a lot of things this time. How could he miss such a good opportunity?

"If that's the case, Brother Qiang, just tell me what ticket you want to exchange with me!"

"Of course they are all good stuff. I have two sets of three-turn and one-ring tickets. The sources and relationships are all proven. I guarantee that no one will be able to find a mistake."

"Brother Qiang's service is really thoughtful!"

"If it were someone else, I definitely wouldn't be so thoughtful, but you're my little brother, and we're all good brothers, so of course I have to take care of you. What do you think? Are you interested?"

It is very rare to get three turns in one go these days, so it is very tempting for Li Weiguo to prepare two sets at once.

Apart from anything else, he wanted both a watch and a bicycle. In these days without mobile phones, he had to rely on the sun to tell the time and on his own two feet to go anywhere. He really couldn't adapt.

“How are things priced?”

"I sell them to others for 60 yuan each, and I'll charge you 50 yuan. Can I exchange both sets for potatoes, sweet potatoes and pumpkins for 300 yuan?"

Although his face was covered, Li Weiguo could still tell that Zhao Daqiang was very excited at the moment. Two sets of three-turn and one-ring bills, three hundred yuan was a reasonable amount.

"Okay! Same 200 kilograms, I'll go..." Their conversation was interrupted before they could even utter the word "arrange".

"Little brother, I want to exchange something with you too!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man flashed by and grabbed Li Weiguo: "I have some good stuff inherited from my family. I want to exchange it for some food with you, little brother!"

This person had been watching Li Weiguo and the other man for a long time. Ever since they started trading cornmeal, he had been paying attention to what was going on here.

Li Weiguo stood there in a daze without saying a word, but Zhao Daqiang refused to do it.

"Where the hell did you come from? Why are you everywhere?"

"Master Piao, I'm really sorry for offending you today. I've been squatting in the black market for several days. There are many people who want to buy food on the black market, but there is not enough food. If I'm not smart, I'll suffocate my urine to death!"

When Zhao Daqiang listened to the man talk about his experience, he felt the same way. It is indeed difficult to find food on the black market nowadays.

He was impatient and got angry at others, so he couldn't save the situation at this moment. He could only turn around and take two steps back.

"I don't need much, just 80 kilograms of corn flour. I just can't afford to eat at home. Otherwise, I wouldn't bring out the treasures at the bottom of the box at home."

"Let me see what it is first."

Seeing that Li Weiguo was interested, the man swiftly took out a small package from his arms.

Only after opening the three layers inside and outside can the true appearance of the east and the west be seen.

It's a bracelet. Judging from how much this person cherishes it, it must be the most valuable thing in his family.

"Brother Qiang, can you lend me your flashlight?"

When Zhao Daqiang heard this, he immediately took out his flashlight from his pocket and turned it on to illuminate them.

The bracelet under the light is emerald green and as transparent as a mirror.

Li Weiguo's eyes lit up. This thing was definitely top-grade jadeite. He fell in love with it at first sight. 80 kilograms of corn flour was really a great bargain, but he did not agree immediately.

"I won't ask where the things came from. They are so well protected, I'm sure they are treasured by the family. I still need to confirm with you if there is anything. Are you really willing to give away 80 kilograms of corn flour?"

The man was stunned for a moment, as if he had made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "Switch! People are dying, how can we care about these things!"

"Okay! Deal! But I also have potatoes, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins, all for 50 cents a pound, you can exchange them if you want!"

The reason why Li Weiguo said this was because the jade bracelet in front of him was very much to his liking. A bracelet of this quality would be a priceless treasure whenever it was taken out.

"It would be great if we had potatoes and sweet potatoes, so that our family could survive a little longer. But I still need 20 grams of cornmeal, because we really have no food left at home!"

"Alright! I'll go over and arrange it right away! Brother Qiang, let's stick to the old rules, one hand for the goods and the other for the tickets!"

"Big brother, please take the things first, and we will exchange them when we see something else!"

"well···"

Li Weiguo was about to walk out when he suddenly remembered the two salted fish in his hand and handed them to Zhao Daqiang.

"Brother Qiang, help me carry it!"

Zhao Daqiang picked up two salted fishes and looked at them with disgust. They smelled so damn fishy.

Little brother, you have so much food in your hands, why do you like to eat this stuff?

Everyone has their own taste!

Now he has to carry it even if he feels disgusted, because the little brother lets him carry it because he thinks highly of him. He can't complain about this or that, he must grasp the line of the little brother well.

Li Weiguo turned away from where he had just been and walked a little further, then he took the things out.

Zhao Daqiang had 200 kilograms of potatoes, 200 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and finally ten big pumpkins.

The man only had 100 kilograms of potatoes, 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and a small bag of 20 kilograms of corn flour.

Li Weiguo knew that he had given the man a lot of things, which was more than 80 kilograms of cornmeal, and it could be considered a little compensation to the man.

If it weren't for this fucked up era, the man would definitely not have exchanged the bracelet for food.

Giving him more things will make me feel more at ease.

As soon as Li Weiguo came out of the woods, Zhao Daqiang and the man hurried over to meet him.

Li Weiguo wanted to laugh when he saw Zhao Daqiang carrying the salted fish. He looked funny no matter how he looked at him.

"Brother Qiang, give me the salted fish! This stuff really smells bad."

Zhao Daqiang propped up his arm, pinched his nose and said uncomfortably: "It's okay, little brother, I'll take it!"

Seeing that he insisted, Li Weiguo did not stop him, and the three of them went to the place where the things were stored together.

When the man saw the potatoes and sweet potatoes of such good quality, he was so excited that he shed tears.

"There is a way out. This time there really is a way out!"
