Chapter 55: Selling wild boar meat [2 chapters combined into 1,6000 words long chapter]

The secret code on the pigeon market was answered correctly.

Then the man looked at Han Xiaokang and asked, "Imported or commissioned?"

What this person said was imported means selling food.

Including coarse and fine grains, fish, shrimps, turtles, crabs, eels, loaches, pheasants and rabbits.

It also includes tickets such as food stamps and sugar stamps.

If Han Xiaokang answered "imported", the person would then ask: Dry or wet?

The wet ones, of course, refer to fish and shrimp, and the dry ones refer to grains.

In short,

That person would use various code words to find out exactly what Han Xiaokang was selling. Only in this way could he arrange the people who came to sell things to the corresponding areas.

This is because in the pigeon market, all transactions must be completed before dawn.

Otherwise, it is easy to attract blows from above.

Since everyone is doing it in the dark, if the areas are not clearly divided, it will easily cause chaos in the transaction order.

I heard the other party ask.

Han Xiaokang replied: "Eat it, Ye Bianmao."

"Hey, this thing is not bad, it should be easy to get rid of." The man pointed to the east of the woods, "Pay 1 cent first, and then you can go over there."

Han Xiaokang took out 1 cent and handed it to the man.

The person in front of him has obviously surpassed the stage of visual inspection in identifying banknotes. He only needs to take the banknote with his hands and know its face value and whether it is damaged or not.

I paid the "management fee".

Han Xiaokang got into the east side of the grove, then stood under a big tree with thick arms, waiting patiently for the buyer.

When the pigeon market in each place first started, the masses gathered spontaneously in a certain place, and then gradually formed a small trading place.

Later, many places began to crack down on such private transactions.

This makes it gradually difficult for people to continue to buy and sell various agricultural and sideline products in the pigeon market.

But whether they are urban residents or members of a production team, they will eventually have different needs.

If there isn't a place where everyone can exchange supplies, it obviously won't work.

Therefore, some unemployed people living in cities and towns were formerly known as urban foxes and community rats.

They then got out, searched for the venue, and maintained the order of the transaction. By the way, they also provided some simple security protection guarantees to both parties involved in the transaction.

certainly,

These guys do not serve the masses in vain.

Therefore, as long as people come to the pigeon market to sell things, if they want to enter the market, they have to pay them a "management fee" of different amounts.

Han Xiaokang stood for a while longer.

At this time, there was already a slight hint of morning light on the horizon.

In the woods, whether they are selling grain, selling eggs, selling loaches and eels, or selling charcoal, each one is hidden in the mottled light.

It looks like shadows and pupils, like ghosts.

While Han Xiaokang was looking around, anxiously waiting for the buyer to arrive, he saw a middle-aged man walking slowly and leisurely in front of him in the woods.

He glanced at the pheasant and pheasant tail in Han Xiaokang's hand and asked, "A few days ago?"

Haha~ This guy is telling a trick. He is trying to deceive Han Xiaokang.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap hidden in his words.

Han Xiaokang replied without hesitation, "It was last night. Not to mention the heat, it was still warm anyway!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "How much? Let's agree first. If you cheat me, the price you're talking about now won't count."

I don’t know much about the value of pheasants.

Hey! It would be great if Zhou Min was by my side at this time

However, although I don't know the price of pheasant, I can estimate it based on the price of pork.

So Han Xiaokang set a price, "The pheasant tail and pheasant meat are not sold separately, and the price is only 5 yuan."

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "4 yuan and 5 yuan, how many do you have?"

“4 of them, all very fresh.”

Han Xiaokang replied, "Since you want it, I'll make it cheaper for you, that's 4 yuan and 9."

The middle-aged man counter-offered, "4 yuan 8, get rich all year round, sounds comfortable."

Han Xiaokang thinks this price is acceptable.

I am also busy selling wild boars, so I really don’t want to get into more trouble with the other party.

After agreeing on the price, Han Xiaokang pretended to leave the goods outside the woods, walked out of the woods for a while, and then returned to the woods with the pheasants.

After selling the pheasants.

After collecting the money, Han Xiaokang went to the production team member who was selling eggs and bought 30 eggs for 2 yuan and 1 cent.

These people sell eggs, which is different from the non-staple food stores of supply and marketing cooperatives.

They sell them by the number, not by the pound.

An egg costs 7 cents.

Han Xiaokang planned to buy some eggs and put them away for now. Later, he would go into the mountains and give them to Aju so that she could hatch them.

After all, when you hunt in the mountains, you have to shoot every shot, and there is no guarantee that you will harvest at any time.

After all, you still have to rely on breeding and planting as a supplement, so that your food security will be more secure in the future.

I bought eggs.

I still have 17 yuan left in my pocket from selling the pheasants.

Considering that I will go into the mountains and stay there for a long time, I will not have enough food.

So Han Xiaokang exchanged the 17 yuan and 1 cent for food.

During this period, agricultural and sideline products were relatively inexpensive.

A pound of brown rice costs 1 cents 6 cents and 7 cents at the grain station; second-grade polished rice sells for 1 cents 7 cents and 5 cents.

Since his Fengchao cabinet can turn brown rice into polished rice, Han Xiaokang chose to buy all brown rice.

Since the Fengchao cabinet has this function, wouldn’t it be a fool to leave it unused?

The current price of food in the pigeon market sounds twice as expensive as that at the food station.

But in fact, the price of brown rice at the grain station can only be purchased with the "Urban Resident Food Supply Certificate", which does not include food stamps.

So if you include food stamps, it will be about 33 cents.

In the end, Han Xiaokang bought all the money he had into brown rice, a total of 51 kilograms and 8 taels.

After buying these things, Han Xiaokang hurried to the catering service agency.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not that bright yet, Han Xiaokang had just left the woods, and with a quick thought, he put everything in his hand into the Fengchao cabinet.

Then continue on your way.

Just as I was passing by the ditch of the slaughterhouse at the food station, I saw an old man wearing a blue hat, hunched over, fishing something out of the ditch.

The slaughterhouse at the food station will kill two more pigs every time they go to the market.

When the butchers cut off the fat pigs, they always cut off some minced meat.

The larger pieces are picked up and mixed into the deboned meat for sale.

But some very small pieces of meat will eventually be washed into the ditch.

And the old man in front of him, who had as many patches on his clothes as he did, was trying to scoop up the minced meat.

Then go home and wash yourself, and at least let your relatives at home have a sip of broth.

The poorer a person is, the more he cares about dignity.

Since you can't help the other person now, then don't disturb him or ask questions.

Perhaps this is the greatest respect for the elderly

Wait until Han Xiaokang returns to the catering service club.

At this time, Fatty Qian had not come back yet, and it seemed that he had not seen the big fat man in the pigeon market just now.
