Chapter 49: An Unexpected Price (Please!!) )
Some people will say, since everyone is so sympathetic, why is it only Zhou Jianguo who made the shot?
The reason is actually very simple, everyone is powerless.
Come to think of it, the old man has sixteen ginseng roots, and if you buy it, it will cost at least twenty or thirty yuan.
You don't think that twenty or thirty dollars is a small amount of money, in the sixties, this amount of money was really not a small amount of money, and many people needed three or four months to be able to save it.
In addition, as Zhou Jianguo said before, these ginseng are defective products, and the vintage is too low, there is no medicinal use at all, and it is a waste to buy them, so everyone retreated.
The situation in their house is not good, otherwise, they would not come to the black market at three or four o'clock, a few cents may not matter, but now it will cost at least a few dozen yuan, hehe.......
To put it mildly, if such a thing were put now, many people would gossip, saying that Zhou Jianguo was a bit of a fame and reputation for doing this, and he should directly give the money to this uncle or something, anyway, there is a steady stream of words like sitting without back pain.....
Why do many people don't do good things now, it's not that they don't want to do it, but they don't dare to do it, because there are too many keyboard warriors in this world who pick bones in eggs, as long as they are caught, then good things will become bad things, and the most important thing is that even if it is confirmed that things are true afterwards, these keyboard warriors will not believe it, and continue to find countless excuses to slander people......
As things like this continue to appear, the flame of wanting to do good deeds in everyone's hearts is gradually extinguished, and until now, there are basically not many good people and good deeds.
People in the 60s were different, they were very simple-minded, and they didn't feel jealous, resentful, hostile to each other because they did good deeds, but on the contrary, everyone applauded them.
At this time, everyone's mind is very simple, as long as it is a good deed, then it must be praised, and there is no soil for the existence of keyboard warriors at all.
Just like now, if it weren't for the black market here, those people around would really applaud Zhou Jianguo.
Zhou Jianguo also sensed everyone's enthusiasm, and for the first time in his heart, he felt that he had come to this era, and he was really right.
This episode passed quickly, and Zhou Jianguo began to look in the black market again to see what else he wanted.
This search really allowed him to find something he was looking for.
For example, the meat stall in front of him, Zhou Jianguo's eyes lit up after seeing it, because he saw not only pork on this meat stall, but also beef, mutton, and other meats, each of which was quite a lot.
"Goo-dong!!" Zhou Jianguo couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and shouted frantically in his heart: I want to buy all the meat here!
Of course, this is a joke, but Zhou Jianguo is indeed going to buy more meat, his body is very weak now, and he needs to eat a little more meat to make up for it.
"Master, how do you sell the meat here?" Zhou Jianguo came to the meat stall and asked.
"Pork is a pound of five pounds, beef, mutton, and donkey meat are all a pound." The stall owner quickly replied.
"......." Zhou Jianguo was a little stunned, not that the price scared him, but that the price of pork was cheaper than beef, mutton, and donkey meat.
The stall owner saw that Zhou Jianguo didn't speak, thinking that he was frightened by the price he said, so he hurriedly introduced his meat.
He picked up a piece of fatty meat, handed it to Zhou Jianguo, and said: "Little brother, my price is really not expensive, you don't need a ticket to buy meat from me, and besides, look at these pork, they are three fingers thick, and when you buy them back, they will be fried, and they will immediately be a pot of oil." ”
"Uh...... Okay, I'll buy it! Zhou Jianguo agreed with a smile.
He knew that the boss had misunderstood, and he didn't speak just now because he knew for the first time that in this era, beef and mutton were not as expensive as pork, and if this thing was said, many people would not believe it.
In fact, this kind of thing was normal in the sixties and seventies, when there was no vegetable oil, and everyone's daily oil was lard, so the price of pork, especially fatty meat, was very high at that time.
Compared to pork, beef and mutton are not very popular with the common people, because these meats do not have much oil.
The common people are the best at living, buying pork back, especially fatty meat, can not only fry a lot of pork, but also be able to eat meat, it is simply killing two birds with one stone, and if you buy mutton, beef and other meat back, you can't fry any oil at all, and the taste is not as delicious as pork, so many people don't like mutton and beef at that time.
Don't think that the walkers are talking nonsense, at that time, the common people preferred to eat fatty meat, because in that era, everyone was generally short of oil and water, so they liked to eat those fat and unseemly fatty meat, and many people could eat two or three catties of fat meat at a meal.
If you still don't believe me, you can go home and ask your grandparents if they liked fatty meat or lean meat when they were younger......
Over time, beef and mutton and the like are not popular with ordinary people, and of course, their prices are naturally not as good as pork.
"Hey, Haole, how many catties do you want to buy?" The boss asked warmly.
"Well, all of it!"
"All?! Little brother, there are twenty or thirty pounds here, do you want so much? The boss looked at Zhou Jianguo with some concern, most people buy back two or three catties at a time, so it's rare to ask for them all.
"It's okay, I'll ask for it all." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile, in order to reassure the boss, he also said the 'identity' of his purchaser, now all the problems have been solved, the boss even enthusiastically introduced other meats to Zhou Jianguo, especially beef, mutton and donkey meat, these meats are the most difficult to sell, the boss sees Zhou Jianguo young and wants to fool him to buy more.
"Okay, I want all this beef, mutton, and donkey meat." Zhou Jianguo looked like a nouveau riche, waved his hand, and directly took down all the beef, mutton and donkey meat.
Maybe other people prefer to eat pork, especially fatty meat, but Zhou Jianguo's mouth is still the mouth of his previous life, he prefers beef and mutton and donkey meat, so even if he knew that the boss was fooling him, he pretended to be fooled, came to push the boat, and took it all at once.
Of course, this boss doesn't have the treatment of the previous people, Zhou Jianguo bargained with this boss for a while, and finally pressed the price to two pounds of pork, and eight cents a pound of beef and mutton.
Although the price has been talked down a lot, the boss's face is still full of smiles, and it is obvious that even at this price, the boss has made some money, and there is a lot.
In fact, this is true, not to mention pork, just this beef and mutton, the price that this boss took was only four cents a catty, and now it is sold for eight cents a catty, and it makes a net profit of four cents a catty, and this time Zhou Jianguo has covered him with about 300 catties of pig, cow, sheep, and donkey meat, so he really made a lot of money.
After buying all this meat, Zhou Jianguo did not continue to stay in the black market, one is that the sky is gradually brightening, and the black market is about to close, and second, his spiritual power has already scanned the entire black market several times, and he has not found anything he is interested in, so Zhou Jianguo is ready to go back.
"Little brother, it's best to find someone to go back with you when you go back, so as not to have an accident at that time." The butcher stall owner reminded in a whisper.
"Don't worry, uncle, I have other companions." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.
"That's good, it's okay to take advantage of the black market, you and your companions leave as soon as possible, there are a lot of hungry wolves watching here." The stall owner was a little dark when he was selling meat, but he was still a good person, and kindly reminded him again.
"Thank you boss for your reminder, don't worry, nothing will happen." After speaking, Zhou Jianguo didn't wait for the stall owner to answer, and directly carried one in one hand, and left with about 300 catties of meat very easily.
"This ......" The stall owner was dumbfounded, after seeing Zhou Jianguo leave with three hundred catties of meat so easily, he realized that he had lost his eyes, this guest looked like a sick seedling, but in fact he was a hidden master.
"Hehe, I really hope those people outside meet this guy, it will look good then." The stall owner gloated with a look of schadenfreude, he was now looking forward to the troubles of those gangsters outside looking for trouble with Zhou Jianguo.
With the strength shown by Zhou Jianguo, those gangsters will definitely not be good at that time.
"Hey, this guy is not ordinary!" A middle-aged man about thirty years old at the gate of the black market saw Zhou Jianguo's current appearance, his eyes were slightly small, and he looked at Zhou Jianguo very seriously for the first time.
"Senior brother, what's wrong, there's something wrong with this person?" A young man beside him who looked to be twenty-six or seventeen years old looked at Zhou Jianguo's departing back and asked.
"No problem." The middle-aged man replied: "However, this person should be a practitioner, and he has an extraordinary background, otherwise, how can he have this strength at such an age." If I really want to fight, I may not be able to take it. ”
Hearing what the middle-aged man said, the young man who knew the other party's surname no longer dared to underestimate Zhou Jianguo.
He looked at Zhou Jianguo's back and whispered, "Senior brother, do you need me to go with you?" ”
The middle-aged man knew his junior brother very well, and what he meant just now was to follow this young man to see what his background was, whether he had come to fight this black market or something.
As mentioned earlier, this black market is one of the largest black markets in Huajing, and at the end of the day, the oil and water are extremely abundant, so from time to time, some people want to reach into this oil and water to get a part of it.
The junior brother thought that Zhou Jianguo was such a person, so he wanted to check the situation first.
