Chapter 140: Antarctic Krill
The TV set was bought, and the happiest ones were the Ma Lingling sisters and brothers, although there is only one TV station at the moment, but there are still more than a dozen channels, and the content of the program is barely enough to watch.
Because I can't connect to the Internet, the TV also comes with a "satellite pot", which is very thoughtful.
At lunchtime, the dinner table once again talked about the work of the couple.
"Brother-in-law, has your work been arranged here?" Xu Dong asked.
"Come down, I'm going to Jinmen, the subway is going to be built between Yanjing and Jinmen, and there is a shortage of manpower over there." Ma Jie replied.
Xu Dong said strangely: "Repair the subway? Isn't there an intercity railway between Yanjing and Jinmen? ”
"Isn't Yanjing going eastward, you still told me the news. Once Yanjing, Langfang and Jinmen are connected, an east-west subway is definitely a must. ”
There is another point that Ma Jie did not explicitly say, this is actually a war-ready subway.
"This is a good thing, if the subway is repaired, it will be much more convenient for you to go back to see your parents."
Xu Ting took the opportunity to suggest: "Dongzi, don't you still have spare money, it's better to invest in a house here, and you will definitely make a lot of money when the time comes." ”
In the past, she was not sure, Xu Ting did not dare to instigate her brother, but now that the situation is becoming clearer, she has no worries.
"Forget it, now the situation is getting more and more complicated, maybe when, what new regulations will be issued above, and the risk of speculation is too great." Xu Dong shook his head and said.
"Dongzi is right, contentment can always be happy, wife, don't mess with your ideas."
Ma Jie very much agrees with his brother-in-law's idea, as soon as their family bought a house, the house price rose by 10 percent, which made his heart tremble.
Xu Ting was bored with herself, and waved her hand: "Forget it, just assume that I didn't say anything." ”
"Sister, how is your work going, is there any result on Aunt Wang's side?" Xu Dong asked.
"Langfang Station is expanding its recruitment, and Aunt Wang helped me find a position as a ticket inspector, and I will officially report tomorrow." Xu Ting said happily.
"Ticket inspector? Wouldn't it be too hard? Xu Dong originally wanted to say that the position was too low, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.
"What's so hard about this, I used to be a security screener, and the job content is similar."
Ma Jie interjected with a smile: "Your sister's job is not bad, how to say that it is also a regular job, and Langfang is not a big station, and the work is definitely much easier than that of Luyang." ”
Not now, maybe in the future, Xu Dong then asked:
"Not far from home? Xiao Xu is still young, so it's not okay if no one takes care of him. ”
"It's not far, it's not a few stops from my side."
"It's good if you're satisfied, I'll help you when you go back, thank you Aunt Wang." Xu Dong nodded.
"It's late, I've already asked my mother to help me thank you."
……
After lunch, Xu Dong drove away in a small truck, everything went well on the old lady's side, and there was no place where he needed help.
Back in Yanjing City, he did not rush home, but turned his head and went to Panjiayuan.
I went to a few old acquaintances and asked, without exception, not to mention pork, there is not a single pig hair.
Xu Dong was helpless, he was idle anyway, so he had to wander around the garden.
In the stall area, I came across a turtle seller.
"Dude, what kind of turtle are you?" Xu Dong said curiously.
"Basi turtle, I've been raising this turtle for seven or eight years, and you can buy it back and stew it in soup." The stall owner highly recommended.
"Why don't you turtles hibernate?"
"Now in this ghost weather, the turtle is still sleeping in winter, and his spirit is getting better every day!"
Xu Dong squatted down, picked up the turtle and shook it, and asked, "How many catties does this turtle have?" ”
"I weighed it at home, four catties and four taels, this is a female turtle, and the male turtle can't grow so big." The stall owner replied.
Xu Dong handed a cigarette to the other party and lit one himself: "You are a pet turtle, right?" I've been raising them for seven or eight years, why are you willing to sell them like this? ”
"Ouch, thank you."
The stall owner looked like an old smoker, and he didn't spit out much after a mouthful of cigarettes.
"I can't help it, now that the food is so tight, I can't afford to raise this turtle, it's too wasteful to kill and eat meat by myself, it's better to take it out and exchange it for some food."
Xu Dong nodded: "I want the turtle, tell me a sincere price." ”
"Let's exchange it for thirty catties of rice, how to say that it weighs four catties." The stall owner's eldest brother sighed.
"I only have corn flour, can I exchange forty catties for your turtle?"
Corn flour was specially brought when we set out in the morning, after all, grain is now the hard currency.
The stall owner thought about it for a while, and finally agreed, forty catties of corn flour was already the highest price he had heard today.
Xu Dong returned to the parking lot and directly took four small bags of corn flour, each bag of ten catties, which were all weighed in advance.
"Dude, the corn flour is here, if you are not at ease, you can go to the side and find an electronic scale to weigh it."
The stall owner, of course, was not at ease, and not only weighed it, but also carefully inspected each bag of corn flour to prevent adulteration.
"No problem, the turtle is yours."
The stall owner reluctantly tied up the turtle and handed it to Xu Dong, and finally couldn't help but remind:
"My turtle can lay eggs four times a year, and turtle eggs have high nutritional value, so if you don't eat meat, you can keep them for fun."
Xu Dong nodded and said that he knew, there were eggs at home, so this turtle egg would not be considered, and the cost performance was too low.
An old man who was watching next to him saw Xu Dong's generosity, and quickly pulled people aside.
"Big brother, do you want cat meat? Kill now and sell now. ”
Xu Dong hurriedly shook his head: "Forget about cat meat, I can't get used to it." ”
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, when the old man stomped his foot and asked again:
"Do you want shrimp?"
"Is it fresh shrimp? What's the price? Xu Dong's interest was suddenly raised.
"It's all dry goods, Antarctic krill, one pound for thirty pounds of corn flour, can you change it?" The old man said softly.
"Where did the shrimp come from?" Xu Dong asked more.
The old man said excitedly: "The Antarctic side is almost exhausted, let me tell you, there are hundreds of fishing boats waiting to be unloaded every day in Yangcheng Port, including our domestic ships and foreign ships, and it is said that at least 100,000 tons are stored every day." ”
"Why don't you see krill in the market?"
"Of course I can't see it, it's all in the national strategic reserve." The old man sighed.
"No wonder, I exchanged cigarettes and alcohol with you, is it okay?"
Xu Dong wanted to buy more shrimp, after all, this thing is said to be very nutritious.
"Yes, but the amount will definitely not be too much, after all, I use food for purchases, and it is too troublesome to sell tobacco and alcohol." The old man explained.
"How many shrimp do you have over here?"
"What? Do you want to eat them all? The old man was surprised.
"You don't care about this, I naturally have my channels on my side."
The old man nodded: "I now have more than 100 catties of dry goods in my hands." ”
Xu Dong immediately showed a disappointed face.
The old man hurriedly added: "If you can really eat a lot, I can take you to my home, of course, the introduction fee must not be less." ”
