Chapter 58: The Pig's Head

Yang Lina was not a stubborn person in the first place, but she was persuaded by her husband and was quickly persuaded.

"You wait here, by the way, let the waiter pack the pastries, I'll go back to the car to get a cigarette, and I'll be back soon." Xu Dong explained.

In order to keep a low profile, the couple came out bare-handed, and the cigarettes and milk were left in the car.

The parking lot is patrolled by security guards, so you don't have to worry about being stolen.

Yang Lina nodded and reminded: "Husband, you should also pay attention to yourself, don't be targeted by thieves." ”

"I see."

After saying that, he squeezed out of the crowd and left in a hurry.

In less than five minutes, Xu Dong came back trotting back with a plastic bag.

When people reach middle age, their physical fitness declines rapidly, and they no longer have the spirit of their youth, and they are panting even when they run.

Yang Lina hurriedly took out a tissue, wiped the sweat on her husband's forehead, and nagged at the same time:

"Why are you in such a hurry, we're not in a hurry."

"It's okay, occasional sweating is good for the body, is the pastry packed?"

Yang Lina pointed to the counter, "It's all packed, 50 puffs, and some other pastries." ”

Xu Dong nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the bag in his hand to the waiter:

"The cigarette is in the bag, you can check it."

The waiter took the bag with a smile, then took out the whole cigarette in front of Xu Dong and began to verify the authenticity.

Xu Dong's cigarettes are all purchased through formal channels, and it is basically impossible for fake cigarettes to appear.

"No problem, we'll take the cigarettes." The waiter's smile was a little more sincere.

"It's okay, wife, let's go!"

Xu Dong stepped forward and picked up the packing box, a box full of cream puffs, which looked like a lot, but it weighed only three catties.

On the surface, Xu Dong made money, after all, no matter how good the cigarettes are, they can't be eaten as a meal.

But in the long run, it is definitely a loss.

Tobacco cultivation is much more difficult than wheat, and there are policy restrictions.

In Xu Dong's previous life, the share of tobacco cultivation planned by the state will become smaller and smaller, and it can be negligible in a few years.

After all, people are running out of food, where is there any need to consider the needs of smokers.

In the future, the price of cigarettes will only become more expensive, and eventually they will replace jewelry bags as synonymous with luxury.

Where there is demand, there is a market, and there is never a shortage of rich people in this world.

"Next time, our store has a discount for regular customers."

"Well said."

In the smiling faces of the clerks, Xu Dong and the others left the pastry shop, and the crowd of onlookers gave envious eyes.

After walking more than ten meters, Yang Lina couldn't wait to take out a puff and stuff it into her husband's mouth:

"Husband, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, you can taste it too." Xu Dong also fed his wife a puff.

"It's so sweet......"

Yang Lina ate five puffs in a row, and then she stopped, it wasn't that she was greedy, she really hadn't eaten for a long time, and she missed it.

……

After continuing to shop for more than half an hour, Xu Dong and the others finally found a shop that sold meat, and the rest of the meat was sold out, and there was only a big pig's head left in the refrigerator.

Xu Dong stepped forward and took the initiative to talk to the shopkeeper.

"Boss, how do you sell this pig's head?"

The owner of the shop was very polite, "If you spend money to buy it, the price is 6,000 yuan, and you can also exchange it for something, as long as it is a good thing, the price is negotiable." ”

"Your pig's head is fifteen catties at most, and six thousand yuan is too expensive, can you bargain?" Xu Dong shook his head and said.

This price is outrageous, a pound of meat costs almost 400 yuan, and the drought has only been half a year now, and it is still early before the real famine.

"I'm sorry, the price is such a price, you can buy it or not." The shopkeeper said leisurely, anyway, as long as it is meat, there is no worry about selling it at all.

"If you exchange something, how do you exchange it?"

Although Xu Dong is not short of money, he doesn't want to be wronged, so he can only see if he can exchange it for other things.

The shopkeeper smiled and took out a printed catalogue from under the counter and handed it to Xu Dong.

"The things on it can be exchanged, the prices are marked, if there are other things, you can also say it and listen to it."

Xu Dong took the form and swept his eyes, which was basically the same as that of the pawnshop, but the gold price was a little high, 1,000 yuan per gram, and it was taken as an integer.

In recent months, along with the overall rise in prices, the price of gold has naturally risen, almost tripling.

"The price of gold here is not low, isn't it?"

"Small business, Tong Su is not bullied!" The shopkeeper put on a kind gesture to make money.

Xu Dong tried to ask, "Do you want milk?" ”

"What milk?"

The shopkeeper is interested, milk is also a good thing, even more popular than pork, after all, who doesn't have children.

"Pure milk from Trensu, the kind in a box." Xu Dong replied.

"The quality is okay, right?"

"Don't worry, there are still two or three months left in the shelf life!" Xu Dong assured.

The shopkeeper thought for a moment, stood up and asked, "How do you want to change it?" ”

"How about I exchange a box for your pig's head?" Xu Dong said tentatively.

The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his head and shouted, "Impossible, your asking price is too ruthless." ”

"Or, it's better for you to bid?"

"How about ten boxes? A carton of milk is only five or six hundred yuan at most, and ten cartons are just about six thousand yuan. "The shopkeeper is the lion's mouth.

Without waiting for Xu Dong to answer, Yang Lina shook her head frantically and said, "Boss, we will give out three boxes at most, and we won't have one more box." ”

"Three boxes are a little less, can you add more?"

"It's really gone, and we only have three cartons of milk left in our house." Yang Lina bit the number of deaths.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment.

If you go by the price before the drought, you are undoubtedly the loser, but now that milk is obviously more scarce than meat, it is fair to do so.

"Boss, whether it's okay or not, you can give a word?" Yang Lina urged, this is also a small trick of counteroffering.

Seeing that Xu Dong and his wife were about to leave, the shopkeeper immediately stepped forward and grabbed Xu Dong, and said anxiously: "Don't go, I didn't say no change!" ”

"Boss, did you promise to change?" Xu Dong confirmed.

Although the shopkeeper was a little unwilling, he still nodded stubbornly: "This time, I will suffer a small loss, so let's change it!" ”

"Boss atmosphere!" Xu Dong gave a thumbs up.

"Okay, did you bring the milk, when will we change it?" The shopkeeper asked directly.

Yang Lina replied with a smile: "Bring it, you wait for us for ten minutes, and we'll go get it now." ”

"Good!"

Ten minutes later, the couple came back with three boxes of Trensu, followed by four or five people who asked for the price, and one of them even opened the price to 5,000 yuan.

"As I said, our milk is for meat, not for sale." Yang Lina said impatiently.

"Okay, six thousand, it's really the last offer."

"Don't sell, don't sell, you better go, we're in the place."
