The four brothers discussed it for a long time at Fox’s house.
It was finally decided that each person would be responsible for several neighboring villages. He would first go to a few villages to find acquaintances, and then communicate with the village cadres. As long as they nodded, a small business of several people could be started. When they get up, they don't have to worry about anyone pursuing their speculative things.
According to the estimation of several people, there should be no problem. They are all fellow villagers and are related to each other in each village. Those village cadres must turn a blind eye and will not Let the people in your village really starve to death.
As for those who really can’t survive and don’t have anything to exchange for food, relief should be provided.
The main direction is still to focus on the black market in the city. It is embarrassing to earn more money from my fellow villagers, but there is nothing embarrassing about the money from city people.
Moreover, the price of fine grains in the city is much higher. People still buy rice when it sells for 2 cents a pound. In this way, they can earn twice as much and live a good year. , now it depends on how much food Li Bowen can get here.
In this regard, Li Bowen is full of confidence. We are short of everything now, except food.
"Then the matter is settled. On Wednesday, I will go back to the factory to deliver the work, and then I will contact the grain department. On Thursday, you three will drive to the outside of the city to wait for me. I'll take you to get food, remember to bring the guy with you!" Li Bowen warned.
"Don't worry, we know everything!"
Soon, a week passed.
On Wednesday, Li Bowen rushed early, took the things collected from several villages, rode his tricycle back to the city, and arrived at the steel rolling mill after noon.
After handing over the supplies to the warehouse, he came to the cafeteria. He first said hello to He Yuzhu and asked him to go home and wait for him after get off work. Then he came out of the factory. He needed to find someone who could A place to store food.
Li Bowen has already thought about this. When he was chatting with Chen Xueru before, he learned from her that Chen Xueru also has a yard outside the city, which has always been empty. There is usually nothing there. If someone goes, it just so happens that I can borrow it from her.
If Chen Xueru is not willing, then he will have to find another way. If it doesn't work, he will leave it to Liu Lan.
Things went very smoothly. When Chen Xueru heard that Li Bowen wanted to use the yard to store things, Chen Xueru agreed very generously. She didn’t need it anyway, and Li Bowen got a lot of things back for her this time. In addition to dry goods, there was a whole basket of eggs, several chickens and ducks, and more than ten kilograms of pork. It was enough to feed her and her family for several days.
Chen Xueru was very satisfied with Li Bowen's ability to do things, so there was no reason not to agree to such a small request.
I immediately took Li Bowen to the outside of the city.
Her yard is located near the Old Summer Palace. Apart from a few universities, there are not many people living in the surrounding area. The density of living is far less dense than in the city, and there are very few pedestrians on the road. This is exactly what Li Bowen wants.
I looked at her yard. It was an ordinary small courtyard, neat and tidy, with four main rooms, plus the east and west wing rooms and the reverse room. There was a small patio in the middle, and there was even a yard watchdog. No one.
"This house was bought by my father. It is too far away from the city to live in. It used to be used as a warehouse. Now that it is a public-private partnership, the yard is vacant, so Come over twice a year and find someone to clean it up, just use it if you need it!" Chen Xueru explained while taking Li Bowen around.
"I think it's pretty good, just right for me. Sister Xueru, how do you calculate the rent?"
"Hey, what's the rent for? Just use it. It just saves me from worrying about it. It won't work if no one lives in this house for a long time. You can help me look after the house and clean up the weeds and other things. It will be considered as the rent." Chen Xueru waved her hand and said.
Li Bowen said with a smile: "Then I am taking advantage!"
"Sister is willing!" This arrogant little expression is really endearing.
"Okay, then I'll thank Sister Xueru!" Li Bowen wasn't pretentious. We'll see what happens later. If he said more now, he would be being pretentious.

After sending Chen Xueru back, Li Bowen returned to the small courtyard, took out all the rice from the space and put it in the room. At the same time, he left a message to Wu Lei, asking him to prepare more supplies.
Then he locked the door and returned to Nanluogu Lane.
When I got home, it was already dark. I said hello to my uncle and aunt, and then came to the middle courtyard.
He Yuzhu had already come back and was waiting for him, and he even put two side dishes on the table.
"Hey, are you ready?"
He Yuzhu stood up with a smile and took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet on the wall: "That's for sure. When you, a hero, come back, why should I get you some food and drinks?"
The two of them sat at the table and each poured a glass: "How much did you get back this time?"
< p> He Yuzhu is really addicted to the black market business. This job alone can make much more than what he earns by cooking for people. There is no fixed banquet for people. There may be several a month. Maybe not even one a month, but this is different. There are two fixed trips a month, which is enough to keep me busy."I made a lot this time, four baskets of eggs, and about a hundred pounds of noodles. I will send them to me tomorrow. Just be prepared!" Li Bowen said.
"That's it." He Yuzhu bared his teeth and smiled.
Just had two drinks, the door was pushed open again, and He Yuyu walked in holding a small bowl.
"Brother Bowen, are you back?" He turned around and closed the door, walked over and sat directly next to Li Bowen.
He Yuzhu's expression froze: "Yu Yu, why are you coming here when you're not sleeping?"
"What's wrong, I can't enter your house yet, let's talk more , I’m not here to see you, Brother Bowen, these are the salted duck eggs I pickled, you can try them.” After saying that, he pushed the small bowl in front of Li Bowen.
"Do you still have this skill?" Looking at the duck egg that had been cut open and dripping with oil, Li Bowen looked at He Yuyu.
"Of course, I know a lot more. Come on, try it. I'm usually reluctant to give it to my brother!" He Yuyu's face was filled with anticipation.
Picking up a piece and putting it in his mouth, with the fragrance lingering in his mouth, Li Bowen could not help but nod: "It's delicious!"
He Yuyu's eyes turned into crescent moons: "You can just do it if you like. Okay, Brother Bowen, I'm going to work now. I don't have to live on campus like I do at school. I'll come back every day from now on. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll cook it for you. You don't have to wait for my brother. Do it!”
“Well, okay!” What could Li Bowen say in the face of He Yuyu’s enthusiasm!
He Yuzhu, who was next to him, had a black line on his face and coughed slightly: "I have tasted this, should you go back to sleep? Bowen and I still have something to talk about. "
"Tch~! Just leave!" He Yuyu curled his lips.
Then he stood up and said to Li Bowen: "Brother Bowen, I'm leaving!"
Li Bowen nodded, then suddenly thought of something and stopped her.
