Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

black market?

There is a black market in this day and age?

But on second thought, there are always people who take risks in every era.

There are also people who do things even though they know they are impossible.

After figuring it out, He Yuzhu suppressed his shock and asked, "Boss, I didn't even know the black market existed before this."

"But you specifically mentioned the black market. I know that the more scarce something is, the more likely people will maliciously raise its price."

"The price of grain on the black market is definitely much higher than that in the supply and marketing cooperatives."

In fact, He Yuzhu reserved his opinion. He thought it might be more than 10 or 20 times higher.

The big boss looked solemn, drank a sip of water, and said calmly: "Xiao He, on the black market, the price of white rice is more than one yuan per pound. Even at this price, people are still rushing to buy it. The supply is in short supply."

"More than one yuan? The supply and marketing cooperative only charges about 20 or 30 cents. This black market is too shady!"

Don't be hungry. You need food coupons to buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative, and there is a purchase limit.

For families with many people, the limited purchases from the supply and marketing cooperatives are simply not enough to eat.

You can buy anything valuable on the black market, including all kinds of tickets, gold and silver banknotes.

Anything of value can be used to buy food.

But the prerequisite is that you have to have it.

Things in the opening market will change with market movements.

He Yuzhu said angrily: "How much are the workers' wages? How much money do ordinary people have to buy such expensive food?"

"There was already a food shortage, and the lower-class people were even suffering from hunger. These bastards actually maliciously raised the price of food and exploited the people to make a fortune during the national crisis. Are they still human beings?"

He Yuzhu was indignant.

In the previous life, the virus swept across the world, and the fight against the virus lasted for three years.

Tens of millions of people have died worldwide as a result.

This is still a conservative statistic.

It is said that more than 1 million people actually died from the virus.

But fortunately, the country is strong. Even if it sacrifices economic development and even if the national strength stagnates, the country gives up everything and saves its people at all costs.

At that time, unscrupulous businessmen and speculators took the opportunity to disrupt the market, spread rumors, create confrontations and conflicts, and create panic. For a period of time, the prices of grain and oil continued to rise.

In this panic, citizens scrambled to hoard supplies, resulting in those who really needed grain, oil, meat and vegetables not having them.

Those who stockpiled daily necessities eventually saw them spoil in their warehouses.

Speculators are always historical sinners in any era.

The more He Yuzhu thought about it, the angrier he became. He angrily picked up the water cup and drank it all in one gulp.

I heard the boss's dull voice again.

"Even whole grains like sweet potatoes and corn are being sold at 70 cents per pound."

"Surprising noodles such as sorghum and wheat are also being sold at 8 cents per pound."

“Even if the price of food is ridiculously high, even beyond what the average person can afford, it is still in short supply.”

He Yuzhu nodded, "Rather than starve to death, even if they hate the black-hearted merchants, they can only risk everything to get money to buy life-saving food."

"So, Comrade Xiao He, if you can get food and let the people have food, you can naturally take the food off the black market."

He Yuzhu was shocked. "Big leader, you have too high expectations of me. The last time, the more than 20 kilograms of grain was also an accident."

Scared someone to death.

The boss's words shocked He Yuzhu so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

The fertile land awarded to him by the system was only 30 acres. How could it be enough to feed a country?

I don’t know whether the leader is testing him or has high hopes for him.

But this high expectation is too heavy.

He didn't dare promise anything.

He could only try his best and provide as much food as the space could produce.

Because even with the blessing of the spiritual spring liquid, it still takes time to grow rice, sweet potatoes and other grains.

If the space did not have the function of accelerating growth, let alone 20 kilograms of grain, it would take at least four or five months to mature according to the normal growth cycle.

But he couldn't just sit there and watch. He Yuzhu thought for a moment.

"I went back and asked my friend, who is a grain dealer, to find a way to get more grain."

He Yuzhu neither agreed nor refused, he just said he would try his best.

I said I would do my best, so it is up to me how much food I can provide.

Of course, he would provide the leader with as much food as there was in the space.

After all, it benefits the country and the people and saves lives.

Moreover, as long as the grain is truly distributed to the people, its food problem will be solved.

These systems are sensory.

Once the system senses it, it will reward you with a lot of fertile land and a lot of seeds.

As more fields are created, more food will be produced.

With a step-by-step plan, the food shortage problem should be gradually solved.

After bidding farewell to his superior, He Yuzhu returned to the courtyard and shook off the snow on his body in the yard.

After making sure there was no snow on him, he walked straight into the room.

As he entered, the originally dark room suddenly lit up.

It turned out that Xu Xinyue heard the noise and lit the kerosene lamp.

"Wife, didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"

He Yuzhu rubbed his hands together and blew air on them as he spoke.

It’s true, having a light on late at night, lit for you, seems quite warm.

Xu Xinyue got up and poured hot water for He Yuzhu. She grabbed his hands and put them into the hot water.

"How can I sleep when you're not home? Besides, I can only sleep peacefully if you sleep next to me."

"Look at your hands, they're all red from the cold. You didn't even wear more clothes before going out. I wonder if you'll get frostbite."

"And the ears were frozen like eggplants."

"I sewed you an earmuff but you didn't even wear it. It's snowing so hard outside. You're already a grown-up, how come you still don't know how to take care of yourself?"

Listening to Xu Xinyue's nagging, He Yuzhu smiled foolishly.

Over there, Xu Xinyue was already washing his feet, rubbing them while nagging him for not taking care of his body.

He Yuzhu felt very warm and relaxed after hearing this.

Looking at Xu Xinyue's chattering red lips, He Yuzhu kissed her happily.

Successfully stopped Xu Xinyue from nagging.

"Um……"

When Xu Xinyue reacted and pushed He Yuzhu away with both hands, He Yuzhu held the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

As time passed, He Yuzhu was no longer satisfied with this. He picked the person up and carried her horizontally, and the two were still inseparable.

He put the person on the bed and tasted the beauty as his heart desired.

"Hmm..." Xu Xinyue finally got a chance to catch her breath, but the coldness on his body startled her.

Xu Xinyue clearly felt that he was about to take action, so she pushed He Yuzhu away with all her strength and shyly refused.

"Brother Zhuzi, it's not possible today." Xu Xinyue said with a red face.

He Yuzhu, whose arrow was already on the string, had red eyes and veins bulging from his forbearance. "Why?"

Seeing him in such a state of discomfort, Xu Xinyue said shamefully, "I am having my period?"

He Yuzhu was stunned, "What water?"

"Don't women have those few days every month when they're inconvenienced?"

It turned out that it was my monthly period that came.

He Yuzhu collapsed on the bed in frustration, but the pain was so severe that he felt he would die suddenly if he didn't relieve himself.

So, he moved closer to Xu Xinyue, touched her lips, deliberately brushed her earlobe, and whispered something affectionately...

……

This sentence blew up Xu Xinyue's diplomatic theory. The skin exposed outside was all red and more beautiful than a rose...
