Chapter 428 Buying and Selling Grain
Seeing that Liu Jingxue was willing to accept it, Zhou Mingxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally he wouldn't be blamed by his mother.
"My family sent me some food coupons. I'll send them to you after I exchange them for food."
When Liu Jingxue heard that Zhou Mingxuan wanted to send her food, she quickly refused. She had more than enough food containing spiritual energy in her space, and she didn't want to accept ordinary food from outside. It would be a problem as to how to deal with it later.
"There's no need for food. I'm not short of food, and neither is the cowshed. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get food here."
Thinking of their coming, I borrowed 30 kilograms of coarse grain from the village. From the day they arrived until the autumn harvest, I had to buy food for most of the six months, which cost a lot of money.
Moreover, these two people are from wealthy families. I think they are used to eating fine grains and cannot be used to coarse grains. They must find a way to buy fine grains.
Although I only grow a little grain every once in a while, the yield is so high that I and the cowshed together cannot consume it all. It all has to be stored in the space. It would be better to sell the grain to them.
The food produced in your own space is good stuff. Long-term consumption is very beneficial to your health.
The money in his passbook, plus the cash in his space, totaled more than 47,000 yuan, which was a huge sum of money in this era, but it was still not enough.
You should know that Liu Jingxue was planning to buy a courtyard house in Beijing later. With this little money, she didn't know if it was enough to buy a big courtyard.
She was timid and didn't dare to go to the black market to make money like those time-travel novels she had read.
Moreover, she was reluctant to sell the good things produced in the space to strangers and let them get the benefits.
Maybe the person who bought her things was a bad guy, and after eating the things produced in the space, his body got better. In that case, she was helping the bad guy in disguise.
She had some understanding of these two people. They were not bad people and would not betray her. Instead, she could sell some food produced in the space to them, so that they could get some benefits and she could make some money.
Thinking of this, Liu Jingxue lowered her voice and said, "Don't go to the black market to buy food. It's not good to be caught. Zheng Pengcheng will keep an eye on you.
Don't try to exchange food coupons for high prices.
I will help you solve the food problem.
I have a safe way out. Otherwise, how do you think I and the others in the cowshed got food from last year to today?
My way is absolutely safe, no tickets are required, and the price is favorable, only slightly higher than the price of buying grain from the grain station.
The quality of the food is absolutely excellent, and there are all kinds of food.”
"If you trust me, tell me what kind of food you want and how much you want, and I'll deliver it to you in a few days, or you can come to my house and get it."
"How could we not trust you? The only difference is whether this will bring you any trouble." Zhou Mingxuan hesitated.
Liu Jingxue said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely safe, no one else knows about it except me.
The person who sold me the grain was the one who saved my life, so he provided me with grain at such a favorable price.
But he said that the food he provided me was only for me and my family's own use.
He was in the grain business, and he was worried that I would buy grain from him at a low price and sell it at a high price, thus stealing his business.”
"You two will only be short of food for half a year. When the food is distributed after the autumn harvest, the gap won't be too big. With the rations for the two of you, there shouldn't be any problem."
"Are there any fine grains?" Zhao Junhao asked.
"Have."
After Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao discussed for a while, Zhou Mingxuan said, "Then please help us get 100 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of flour, 20 kilograms of millet, and 5 kilograms of mung beans. I will give you the money when I deliver the package.
But we'll leave these grains with you first, and when we move out of the educated youth camp, we'll come back and get them back from you."
"no problem."
Several people also agreed on the price of each type of grain. Each type was 30% more expensive than buying with tickets at the grain station, but no tickets were required.
After the grain purchase was settled, Zhao Junhao reminded, "Mingxuan, you haven't mentioned Zheng Pengcheng yet."
"Yes, I almost forgot to tell you."
Zhou Mingxuan was about to start talking about the Zheng family, but Liu Jingxue interrupted him.
"Zheng Pengcheng, I just saw him.
He and Fang Dong were chopping wood together, talking and laughing.
The two also call each other brothers.
It looks like Zheng Pengcheng has won over Fang Dong. You two should be careful, because Zheng might ask Fang Dong to deal with you."
"We understand. We will be careful with them," Zhou Mingxuan said.
Zhou Mingxuan recounted what happened to the Zheng family and also told them that the Zheng family was going to find a capable person to find out who had attacked the Zheng family.
Liu Jingxue was not worried at all that the extraordinary people found by the Zheng family would be able to undo the methods she had imposed on the Zheng family.
Not to mention that she used Zheng Pengcheng as a medium to carry out her means, and Zheng Pengcheng was here.
Even if they called Zheng Pengcheng back, Liu Jingxue was not worried that they would be able to find the problem.
The mark of her spell was deep in Zheng Pengcheng's soul, and could only be revealed by a cultivator using specific techniques.
Liu Jingxue didn't think that the so-called strange people found by the Zheng family would be cultivators, and happened to know the corresponding techniques.
"You don't have to worry about the Zheng family, they don't have time to investigate and deal with you now.
My grandfather also said that he would unite with other enemies of the Zheng family to intensify the efforts to discipline the Zheng family and try to take them down as soon as possible.
I guess the Zheng family will have a hard time in the days ahead."
Liu Jingxue already knew about the Zheng family's troubles when she heard Zheng Pengcheng calling Mr. Zheng. She only knew about Mr. Zhou's decision.
"I see.
But in this case, you have to be more careful.
Lest Zheng Pengcheng become desperate and attack you."
"You don't have to worry about this, we have always been on guard against him.
In a few days, we will move out of the educated youth camp, and it will be even more difficult for him to harm us."
They chatted for a few more words and agreed to meet here later. Then Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao left carrying firewood.
After the two of them returned, they put down the firewood and took a short rest. Zhou Mingxuan packed the things for grandpa and Liu Jingxue into two packages, took the two packages and the money to buy food, and went out again.
After arriving at the mountain and finding Liu Jingxue again, he handed the package to Liu Jingxue while avoiding people.
"The blue package is for you, and the gray one is for grandpa. There are also letters my mom and others wrote to grandpa in it," Zhou Mingxuan explained.
"Okay, I get it.
I will deliver it to Grandpa Wu in the evening."
After the two left, Liu Jingxue used her spiritual sense to detect that there was no one around, so she threw the package into the space.
As they were walking, Zhao Junhao slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, why did I forget to ask Liu Zhiqing where she saw Zheng Pengcheng and Fang Dong?"
"Why, what's the use of knowing where they are?
What are you planning to do?"
“I just wanted to ask Zheng Pengcheng how he felt about his second uncle being dismissed and his father being suspended from his job.
There were so many people at the youth training center that it was hard to ask, as it gave people the feeling of kicking someone when they were down, but in private, there were no such concerns. "
"It's not really private, since Fang Dong is here."
"They are in cahoots with each other, right? It doesn't matter if he finds out."
Zhou Mingxuan smiled and said, "Don't you worry that after you ask this, Zheng will get angry and fight with you.
Zheng is better than you in martial arts, but you can't beat him."
"Isn't this also you?"
Zhou Mingxuan spread his hands and said, "I can't beat him either, are you planning to fight two against one?
Fang Dong is not here either, so it can be a two-on-two fight at most."
"Can Fang Dong be considered a human being? He can be knocked down with just one punch or one kick."
"That's still two against one. If word gets out, people will say we're bullying."
"Forget it then." Zhao Junhao sighed, "Why didn't we practice more before? Now we can't even beat him up."
“I grew up outside the compound with my grandfather, and although I also exercised since childhood, I was not like him who was always taught by soldiers.
Most of your family members are civilians or logistics personnel, so they don’t have such strict requirements on combat power, so it’s normal that you can’t compare to him.”
“I’m still a little unwilling.”
"We just need to be smarter than him. Fighting is not just about brute force, you need to use your brain.
Besides, his fighting power is not invincible, and he couldn't even defeat Liu Zhiqing in one move." Zhou Mingxuan consoled him.
The two of them later learned from the villagers that Liu Jingxue's punch made Zheng Pengcheng retreat several meters.
"That's true."
Liu Jingxue couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. These two people are quite Ah Q-spirited and know how to comfort themselves.
