Early the next morning, Xu Dong didn't sleep lazy, and it was rare to have free time, so he was going to go to Panjiayuan for a good visit, and by the way, he would go to Mr. Mike's house again.

He contacted him last night and asked Mr. Mike to help him get some pastries, and the other party agreed very happily.

Yang Lina was idle at home, so she simply came out together, the couple hadn't been in the world of two people for a long time, and today has a good opportunity.

Because of his injuries, Xu Dong didn't drive, and the two took a taxi and went out.

After entering October, with the sharp drop in temperature, Panjiayuan ushered in the most lively time of the year, and the park was full of people.

After all, winter is far more difficult than summer, and with the end of the year approaching, everyone is desperately stocking up on all kinds of supplies.

Grain, in particular, is always the most popular and in-demand commodity in the market.

"Husband, it's so lively today!"

Yang Lina said happily.

"Of course, this is the largest second-hand goods trading market in Yanjing, and you can buy anything."

"Can you buy food?"

Xu Dong said embarrassedly: "In addition to grain, now every household is short of grain, even if there is grain in the house, they are not willing to take it out and sell it, it is easy to sell, and it is difficult to buy it back." ”

"Are you so nervous?"

Yang Lina usually doesn't go out much, and she rarely comes into contact with the general public at the bottom, so she doesn't have a clear understanding of the situation in the capital area.

"Nervous, very nervous, this winter is estimated to be very difficult." Xu Dong sighed.

Yang Lina nodded thoughtfully.

Next, Xu Dong brought his wife to his small shop, and Yang Lina came over for the first time.

"Wife, this is the shop I opened, and there have been fewer people coming recently, and there has been a lot of dust."

Yang Lina walked into the store, and the store was empty, only a large cardboard box was placed in the corner.

"Husband, what's in the carton?"

Xu Dong explained with a smile: "It is filled with dried shrimp, and there are about seventy or eighty catties. ”

"Why are you leaving so many dried shrimp here?"

"If you come across something good, especially something to eat, you can't buy it with money, you can only barter, and dried shrimp is just kept for exchange."

If she didn't know that there were more than 5,000 catties of dried shrimp in her warehouse, Yang Lina would definitely scold her as a "loser".

"How much does it cost to rent a month?"

"In the past, I rented from a private person for 45,000 yuan a month, but now I rent it with the park for 50,000 yuan a month."

Yang Lina was shocked: "So expensive? Your store is just empty? ”

"No way." Xu Dong spread his hands, "I have to go to work every day, how can I spend so much time on this." ”

"Then return it?"

"No, the store needs to be used occasionally, and the shops here are very popular, so it will be difficult to rent it when the time comes." Xu Dong shook his head and said.

The biggest reason why he is reluctant to quit the lease is that the park is very safe, and this security cannot be bought by any amount of money.

"Isn't that a way to be so empty?"

"What else can I do?"

"If you don't have time, just hire someone to come and see the store, do some small business by the way, and earn back the rent no matter what!" Yang Lina said distressedly.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Forget it, there is no shortage of money at home, so don't toss." ”

"50,000 yuan a month!"

Xu Dong persuaded several times in a row, but Yang Lina was always angry.

Re-locking the door, he tried to divert his wife's attention:

"Would you like to add you some pieces of jewelry?" The jewelry here is very complete and the prices are very cheap, and you can buy anything of it. ”

"No need." Yang Lina shook her head, "I don't lack jewelry now, let's buy more souvenirs!" ”

"People have come to the city, where are the souvenirs?" Xu Dong smiled bitterly.

"If you can't buy some peanuts and melon seeds."

"Okay, let's go straight to the stall area."

……

In the stall area, Yang Lina's shopping enthusiasm completely exploded, and she took her husband to visit dozens of stalls in a row.

The two walked around for a while, and finally met a melon seed seller, Yang Lina hurriedly stepped forward to ask the price:

"Boss, how do you sell melon seeds?"

"A pound for five pounds of potatoes or... Sweet potato. ”

The stall owner spoke in a very soft voice, the whole person looked sick, and his face was not very good, sallow and sallow, especially his cheeks, which were almost skinny.

At first glance, I was hungry.

In fact, one out of every four people in the park is like this, Yanjing is still like this, not to mention other places, this year the whole country is very difficult.

"How many pounds do you have in this bag?"

Yang Lina asked.

"A little more than twelve pounds, if you sincerely want to buy it, just count you twelve pounds."

As soon as the stall owner saw Yang Lina's long hair, he knew that the other party really wanted to buy it, not to pick up the cheap, so he was willing to give up a little discount.

"We use ......"

Yang Lina just wanted to speak, Xu Dong hurriedly grabbed her, there are people coming and going here, if you hear that there is meat, then you have to get it, and you have to surround it desperately.

"This eldest sister, we have all the melon seeds, but it's inconvenient to talk here, so we might as well find a place to talk privately."

The stall owner immediately showed a vigilant look: "It's okay to talk in private, but you can't leave the park." ”

"Of course, of course." Xu Dong nodded hurriedly, "There is a tea shop in the park, I'm in for a treat, let's go sit over there together?" ”

"It's fine."

The stall owner breathed a sigh of relief and followed directly behind the two with the bag.

In less than five minutes, the tea shop arrived.

Xu Dong directly asked for a small private room.

A pot of chrysanthemum tea costs a hundred yuan.

The minimum consumption in the private room is a pot of chrysanthemum tea, which is not negotiable.

Waiting for the waiter to leave, Yang Lina couldn't wait to ask, "Let's exchange shrimp seeds for your melon seeds, okay?" ”

When they came out in the morning, the couple didn't bring anything else except their mobile phones and wallets, so they couldn't go home for this little melon seed!

"What shrimp?"

The stall owner's face was full of doubts, she didn't think about meat at all, after all, meat was more scarce than ordinary food.

"It's the shrimp you eat, Antarctic krill." Xu Dong replied helpfully.

"You... Are you talking about meat? The stall owner was surprised.

Yang Lina nodded: "That's right." ”

"If you can exchange it for meat, of course I would like to, how do you want to exchange it?" Now the stall owner can't wait.

"The shrimp on our side are dried shrimp, and we exchange three catties of dried shrimp for all your melon seeds, what do you think?"

Xu Dong was too lazy to calculate, and directly said a psychological price, which was completely based on subjective assumptions.

The stall owner did not answer immediately, but took out a pen and paper from his pocket and began to calculate.

One pound of dried shrimp is equivalent to two pounds of fresh shrimp.

She seems to have heard someone say before that one pound of meat can be exchanged for more than a dozen catties of coarse grains, and three catties of dried shrimp can be exchanged for at least sixty catties of coarse grains.

This business can be done, and if you don't do it, you can make a small profit.

"No problem, three catties is three catties."
