"Mom, how do you always say that you are also the general manager of the bread factory, and your father has a full-time driver, why don't you get one here?"

Xu Dong persuaded with a smile.

Although Xu Ma was a little moved, she still suppressed the impulse in her heart, she was the general manager and dispensable, there was really no need to put gold on her face, the key was that it was too wasteful of money.

A car costs millions, plus the salary of a full-time driver, isn't this a waste of money!

"What kind of car to buy, Mom doesn't need it."

"Then you can only take my car......"

Mother Xu picked up the milk and took a sip, feeling a little depressed: "Let's talk about this later, Mom's legs don't know if she can walk!" ”

"Sure, it's just a broken bone, and it's not a big deal." Xu Dong hurriedly comforted.

"Who knows if you're hiding anything from me?"

Mother Xu muttered to herself.

……

After eating the bento, Xu Dong was a little unsatisfied.

Yang Lina was afraid that her husband would eat again, so the staple food prepared was a little less, which made Xu Dong not happy to eat, and he felt that he was only seven points full.

As soon as the lunch box was packed, a family member of the patient walked over with a flattering look on his face.

"What do you call my brother?"

"Double Xu, Xu Dong."

As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Xu Dong is not the kind of character who loves to ignore it, in order not to disturb the rest of other patients, the two walked out of the ward and came to the corridor outside.

"Hello Brother Xu, contemptible Zhang Chunhu, who works at the city customs, took the liberty to disturb me."

Originally, Yanjing did not have customs, but since the eastward expansion, the customs departments of Jinmen, Tangshan and Shicheng have been merged to form the new Yanjing Customs.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "It's not a bother, Brother Zhang can just say something directly, right?" ”

"Uh......" Zhang Chunhu looked embarrassed, and he rubbed for a while before he spoke: "Brother Xu, Auntie drank milk just now, right?" ”

"That's right." Xu Dong nodded.

"May I ask, where does the milk come from?"

"From the black market, you also know that there is a shortage of supplies everywhere at the moment, and you can't buy milk powder through formal channels." Xu Dong made up casually.

Zhang Chunhu was full of expectations: "Brother Xu, do you still have extra milk powder at home?" Dude, I'm willing to pay a high price. ”

"Brother Zhang, I'm sorry! I bought a total of one bucket here, and you have seen my mother's situation, so I am counting on this milk powder to supplement nutrition! Xu Dong declined.

It's not that he doesn't want to help, but it's not worth it to make money by simply selling milk powder, and the two are not even friends, so he is not so generous.

Zhang Chunhu couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, what about the ghost, he just heard his daughter-in-law say that Aunt Zhang's food has always been very good, at least there is no shortage of oil and water.

At noon today, I drank a big bowl of chicken soup, smelling the fragrance, my wife drank a bowl of porridge more than usual.

But this cannot be said, he has always been filial, and can only almost plead:

"Brother Xu, please help, my mother has been in poor health, she just had a major operation last month, and she really needs milk powder."

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's really powerless."

No matter what the other party said, Xu Dong was always unmoved.

"Then can you introduce me to the purchase channel of milk powder?" Zhang Chunhu can only choose to settle for the next best.

Xu Dong shook his head, the channel is himself, he can't slap himself in the face!

"No, the other party asks for strict confidentiality, I really can't help it."

Zhang Chunhu pleaded: "Brother Xu, I beg you in the end, please be sure to help our family buy a bucket of milk powder." ”

Asking questions from east to west, finally getting to the point.

Gu Xudong pretended to be embarrassed, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"Brother Zhang, it's okay to help you buy on your behalf, but you can't buy milk powder with money, and people only accept barter."

"Barter? What do you mean? ”

"It means that people don't sell milk powder for money, they can only exchange things, tobacco, alcohol and tea, in short, it is not okay to spend money."

Zhang Chunhu immediately grimaced.

He was only a small supervisor at the customs, and although he had stored some gifts such as cigarettes and alcohol at home, they had long since been disposed of, and most of them were replaced with food.

"Can't I triple the price?"

"No, it's said that people don't charge money at all, Brother Zhang, don't embarrass me, it's really not good, you can also exchange food for food." Xu Dong put on a businesslike attitude.

Zhang Chunhu said distressedly: "How to change?" ”

"A bucket of milk powder for a hundred catties of rice."

"No, it's too expensive."

Zhang Chunhu immediately rejected this proposal, jokingly, their family saved a total of more than 300 catties of rice, and removed one-third of it at once, which is life-saving food.

"Then it can't be helped." Xu Dong sighed.

"Wait a minute."

Zhang Chunhu stopped Xu Dong, who was about to leave.

"Brother Xu, although I can't get the trading items, I also have channels here, and I can buy some things that are not common on the market, so we have something to discuss."

Xu Dong had a hint of interest: "Oh, Brother Zhang, you can talk about it." ”

"I won't hide it from you, our customs has an auction of smuggled goods every month, Brother Xu, if you are interested, I can help you get an invitation."

"Isn't this kind of auction open to the public? Why do you still need an invitation? Xu Dong wondered.

Zhang Chunhu explained with a smile: "That was before, and now the country has entered a state of emergency, and all materials must be distributed and managed in a unified manner.

Even if it is an anti-smuggled item, it must be selected by relevant enterprises and institutions first, and then it will be opened to the public, and it is estimated that there will be no good things left in the end. ”

Xu Dong instantly understood.

"What do you usually have at auctions like this?"

"From machine tools and automobiles to home appliances, furniture, jewelry, and electronic products, there are all kinds of things, and whether you can find what you like depends on luck."

"Can you still buy a machine?" Xu Dong was surprised.

"Brother Xu, there are not only machine tools, but also various production lines, but they are generally booked in advance by large enterprises, and individuals are not even qualified to buy them." Zhang Chunhu reminded euphemistically.

Xu Dong nodded: "I understand, when is the auction usually held?" ”

"On the last weekend of every month, today is the 24th, and there is exactly a week before the auction, so it is just too late to complete the formalities." Zhang Chunhu replied.

"What are the requirements to participate in the auction?" Xu Dong asked tentatively.

"Brother Xu, if you are a person in the system, you can directly participate in the name of your unit. It doesn't matter if it's not in the system, you can be affiliated, and you can generally spend 10,000 yuan on the attachment fee. ”

Xu Dong directly revealed his identity: "I work at the city power company. ”

"That's a good dare, and you save the affiliation fee."

"If I buy something at auction, will I get in trouble?"

Xu Dong finally confirmed.

PS: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes!
