Chapter 116 Large Transaction
This braised pork is so delicious. My brothers are the most greedy, so I will give you a chance this time. Come to my house and show off! Zheng Mei said in a low voice with a blushing face.
"Okay, we must make your parents agree to our matter this time." Wang Feng was very excited when he heard that Zheng Mei agreed to go to her house.
"Sit down, I'll take you. Let's set off!" Wang Feng said happily as he got on his bicycle.
"Ride slower, you damn ghost!" Wang Feng rode furiously on the street, causing pedestrians to give way.
"Auntie, I won't stop. There's still half a pot of noodles for lunch. My brother and the others are too lazy, so I have to go back and cook for them." Here, Li Wen also pushed his bicycle from aunt Li Xiulan's house.
came out.
"This kid has been having a rough day!" Li Xiulan shook her head and said as she looked at Li Wen riding his bicycle away.
"Brother, you are back!" Li Wen opened the door and saw Li Wu washing up in the yard and greeted him.
Li Wu works at a bus station. Because there are fewer cars now, he has less work to do.
Because Li Quan was involved in maintenance work, he came home dirty every day and had to be cleaned thoroughly.
"Awen, what's good to eat tonight? Your brother and I are very hungry right now." Li Wu was teasing the chicken and said.
"Today at noon I made braised noodles with sesame seeds. Brother, please push the bicycle to my room and I'll heat it up." Li Wen handed the bicycle to Li Wu.
"If you have meat to eat, it's good to be in love." Li Wu took the bicycle with a smile.
The meal was heated quickly in the evening. Li Wen put a fire in the stove and the noodles were hot in a short time.
"Second brother, have you finished washing? It's time to eat!" Li Wen shouted outside the kitchen.
"It's washed!"
"Well, these noodles with meat smell delicious!" Li Quan was less than 17 years old and was at the age when he was growing up. He walked to the kitchen and smelled the aroma of meat, and his stomach growled.
"Today my friend brought a pair of pigs over, and I helped cook them, leaving a piece of pork liver. You guys scoop the rice for yourself, and I'll cut the liver into a cold dish." Li Wen was cutting the liver on the chopping board.
He said to the two people walking into the kitchen.
Li Wen loved cooking in his previous life, but his worst skill was his knife skills. Because he couldn't calm down and cut slowly, the vegetables he cut were always on the legs of the bench, or were of very different thicknesses.
In this life, Li Wen no longer had the pressure and sense of urgency he had in his previous life. Everything he did was slowed down, and he could chop vegetables properly under the guidance of the old lady and his mother.
"Eat noodles, not steamed buns. We made more noodles today. The three of us will finish all the noodles tonight, and they will be cooked tomorrow." Seeing Li Wu go to the steamed bun cage to get steamed buns,
Li Wen turned his head and said.
"Awen's noodles are filled with braised pork and braised pork soup. They taste really good!" Li Wen just walked out with the prepared cold dishes, and Li Wu had already finished the bowl of noodles.
"Brother, you are eating too fast. You must have been a starving ghost in your previous life." Li Wen looked at Li Wu with a grin.
"What does this mean? When we ate from a big pot in the past two years, the speed of eating was called fast. If you eat a little slower, you can only drink some soup in the second bowl." Li Wu said with a smile.
"That's right. But Ah Wen, it's also the fact that the noodles you made today are so delicious. They are pure white noodles and have meat sauce. If you eat slowly, you can't even afford the bowl of noodles in your hand." As he said this, the rice bowl in Li Quan's hand was also empty.
"Damn it! You two are so ungrateful. You didn't even give me a bowl of rice when you scooped it up." Li Wen put down the plate and saw that there was nothing on the table, and he burst out.
"Here it comes, here it comes, isn't this scooped out for you!" Li Wu came out with two bowls of noodles in his hand.
"That's pretty much it!" Li Wen took over the job angrily.
"But the rice is gone, this is your last bowl." Li Wu chuckled.
"If I go, I should have known I wouldn't leave any food for you." Li Wen was dumbfounded when he took the rice bowl and saw it was all soup.
"Haha! Don't listen to big brother's lies, there is still a bowl left in the pot for you." Li Quan sat down with his rice bowl and picked up a chopstick of pork liver and said.
The brothers finished their dinner in a lively atmosphere.
"Big brother, second brother! I left four eggs for you in the pot. Tomorrow morning you and the steamed buns will heat them up in the pot for breakfast." After cleaning up the kitchen, Li Wen said to the two people who were building a wall in the yard.
"Okay, let's get up and heat it up tomorrow morning. Two eggs for each person. What a good treatment!" Li Wu smiled and hummed.
The weather is getting hotter, and I have to wash or take a shower every day when I come back from get off work. So Li Wen asked his eldest brother to build a small shower room using the unused bricks in the backyard.
"Okay, you go back and rest first, your second brother and I will do it for a while longer." Looking at Li Wen sitting idle in the yard, Li Wu said.
"Okay, brother, you should finish your work early and rest. It's already dark, so don't light up the lights and work anymore."
"Brother, when you are free one day, ask someone to install a light in the yard, otherwise it will be dark at night." Li Wen said, looking at the yard under the oil lamp.
"I know how to do this. I have learned a lot about circuits from my master recently. It's no problem to pull a wire and connect a light bulb." Li Quan stopped what he was doing and said excitedly.
"Second brother is amazing. He is now a real craftsman. I'll go buy some in the next two days and you'll pick him up when the connection goes down." Li Wen praised.
Although Li Wen also studied physics in junior high and high school in his previous life, and also worked as a plumber at a construction site. But he has always believed that only professional people can do professional things and do their best.
"Okay! After you buy it, tell me and I will borrow my master's tools." Li Quan said with a smile.
Since he was going to trade with Brother Jun and the others tonight, Li Wen didn't stay in the yard longer and went straight back to rest.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the alarm on the mobile phone rang in the space on time. Li Wen was awakened directly by the voice in his head.
After washing his face with cold water in the bathroom in the space, Li Wen finally woke up completely.
Li Wen took out the sacks he had collected before and packed the corn and sweet potatoes in the warehouse directly through space. He also took out a fan of pork, four baskets of eggs, and thirty rabbits, weighed them, and then walked out of the house.
Because of the space, Li Wen's night vision and hearing abilities were greatly enhanced. In the dark moonless night, he walked quickly out of the city without using a flashlight along the way.
Along the way, he sometimes heard people's voices and footsteps from far away, so Li Wen would always stop or go around.
At about 11:20, Li Wen came outside the grove. Brother Jun and the others had not arrived yet. Li Wen walked into the grove and put out all the food and other supplies in the space. Then he lurked quietly on the roadside.
Ten minutes later, Li Wen saw a mule cart passing by with seven or eight people talking.
"Brother, do you think this kid won't lie to us? It's almost twelve o'clock. There isn't a car around." One of the young men whispered.
"Don't worry, it's not twelve o'clock yet. Since it's agreed to be twelve o'clock, let's just wait."
"Xiao Liu, you guys, go and look around and pay attention to the noise. Lao Tie and I are waiting here. If there is any trouble, remember the code." Brother Jun whispered to the young man beside him.
"Don't worry, Brother Jun. I had people check at every intersection five or six minutes before we came here. It's safe!" the young man named Xiao Liu patted his chest and said.
"Good job, but you still have to be careful. Bring a few people and keep watching." Brother Jun nodded and said.
After waiting for another five or six minutes, "Brother Jun, do you think this guy is really that capable? He can bring out hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of grain at the drop of a hat." A strong man in his thirties said.
"Old man! Don't look down on anyone when you are on the street. This young man has sold more than two hundred kilograms of pork on our black market since the beginning of the year. The total of corn, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, etc. has exceeded six hundred kilograms.
"Brother Jun leaned on the wheel and smoked a cigarette and whispered.
"Then let's use this kid to find his boss and pry him off." Lao Tie whispered.
"Don't think about these things. We run this black market partly to help the government stabilize people's hearts and partly to make money."
"So my purpose in running the black market is to only take what I deserve. This is also a piece of advice for you. Walk less at night. If you walk too much, you will definitely encounter ghosts." Brother Jun scolded softly.
Bang bang bang! Applause suddenly rang out in the dark night, startling Brother Jun and others.
