Chapter 244: Drag him out and shoot him 5 times
"grandmother?"
Chen Feng's voice made the old man get rid of his past memories. He smiled and said, "I'm fine. You are really capable. Your grandfather has been bragging for most of his life, but he couldn't give me a pack of good cigarettes."
The old man, who was busy copying a medical book, immediately raised his head and retorted when he heard this.
"Nonsense! When I proposed marriage, the betrothal gift included opium, which is much better than pandas."
"what?"
Chen Feng looked at him strangely. Was the old lady smoking that stuff when she was young?
impossible!
"Chen Yuhu, bullshit, when did I smoke opium?"
When the old lady saw Chen Feng's eyes, she felt that her image had been ruined by the old man and she had lost face in front of her eldest grandson. She was so angry that she wanted to throw the things in her hand over to him.
"You are committing a crime by selling opium. I am against it with all my might!"
But I soon realized that these were good cigarettes given by my eldest grandson.
How can I throw this away!
Not to mention Panda cigarettes, she would be reluctant to throw away even ordinary small gifts.
But I couldn't express my feelings, and it was really uncomfortable.
He immediately stopped, bent down, and looked around the room for something he could hit someone with that wouldn't break anything.
If a stool is broken, I feel sad; if a cup is too small, it doesn’t hurt if a book is smashed...
"Lily, go get Grandma the stick!"
"Okay, grandma!"
Little Lily agreed quickly, and ran to the side door as fast as her little legs could go, looking for the old man's "beat the second brother charlatan".
The old man quickly explained: "I was wrong. It's the big, long cigarettes that foreigners smoke, not opium."
Chen Li was already running over with a stick.
The old man looked at his granddaughter with resentment and quickly stopped her.
"Grandpa, this is what grandma wanted."
I don’t know if the little girl is pretending not to understand or if she wants to see her grandma beat her grandpa.
Anyway, he moved flexibly with the stick, trying to bypass grandpa and prepare to give the weapon to the old lady.
"Grandpa, that's called a cigar." Chen Feng corrected with a smile.
"Yes, it's a cigar!" The old man slapped his head and said, "For this thing, I used my connections to buy top-quality products in Shanghai. One cigar costs dozens of dollars."
While the old man was not paying attention, the little girl gave the stick to the old lady, then stood beside Chen Feng, watching the situation in the field with great anticipation.
The old lady held the stick and asked in confusion, "Why didn't I know about this?"
The old man said very carefully: "Tell me, maybe your father and brother swallowed the cigar? They are the ones who are most against you smoking. Most of the good cigarettes I brought you when I climbed over the wall were confiscated by them after they caught me."
The old lady was stunned for a moment and thought of the past again.
"Yuhu, I want to go back to Xiangxi."
The old man walked over, held the old lady's hand, and said tenderly: "We will go back in 65 years, and we will no longer care about the ups and downs outside. Your brother also said in the letter that he wanted to see Xiaofeng and the other three."
The little girl tilted her head and asked, "Grandma, you're not going to beat Grandpa anymore?"
The old man immediately looked at his granddaughter fiercely.
The little girl was so scared that she quickly hid behind her big brother.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Sha Zhu's voice rang out from the yard.
Chen Feng, the old man, the old lady, and Chen Li looked over together and saw Sha Zhu coming in carrying a bag.
"What's this for?" The old man quietly put the stick behind him and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sha Zhu took the things out of the bag and put them on the table.
A bottle of apricot blossom wine, two bottles of Wuliangye, a bottle of Moutai, and a pack of Peony cigarettes.
"Grandpa, this is what happened. In five days, the father of one of my friend will be celebrating his 9th birthday. He has a large family, with four generations living together. There are more than people in total, and he has nine great-grandchildren alone."
"You need food for a birthday party, but as you know, fish and meat are completely unavailable in the market right now. Even if there is meat at the meat processing plant, it has been reserved in advance by various families."
"My friend heard that Xiaofeng could go hunting in the mountains and go fishing, so he asked me for help."
"Don't give too much, just thirty kilograms of meat will do. The more the better. It doesn't matter if it's rabbit, pheasant, or wild boar."
"Ten yuan a pound. They also have large yellow croaker. If you don't want money, you can use gold instead."
Chen Feng looked at Sha Zhu as if he were a fool.
I don’t even dare to sell to individuals. I sell them all to state-owned units at “low prices”. You start at ten yuan a pound. Do you want me to eat peanuts?
"I can't do it. Don't ask me for this."
The most fundamental reason why he established the reputation of "fishing master, super hunter" was so that his whole family could eat meat openly without having to be secretive, and it was definitely not for the purpose of making money as a business.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to sell the fish to various factories at "low prices".
You have to know that even though Niu Gengshen, Ye Jin and others bought it at 3 to 5 times the price, it is easy to sell it at 10 times the price on the black market, especially before the Chinese New Year.
The rabbits, pheasants, gazelles, etc. that he left in the northern mountains were not able to make even a splash in front of the huge market of 684 million people in the old city.
There really was no splash at all.
The meat demand of millions of people in this city cannot be met by a few hundred rabbits.
Before the Chinese New Year, in order to let their families eat meat, wealthy families caused the prices of fish and meat in the ghost market to soar by more than ten times.
The price of first-grade pork in state-owned stores has risen to more than 90 cents per pound, second-grade pork is more than 70 cents, and third-grade spare ribs are more than 50 cents, but even spare ribs are simply not available.
Those who have money, tickets and connections have already privately gone to state-owned stores to purchase ten or twenty kilograms of meat.
It doesn’t matter who the state-owned store sells to, so why not sell it to someone with background and connections?
I want to improve too!
"No, three hundred yuan is half a year's salary!"
Sha Zhu had obviously boasted and promised others, so when he heard Chen Feng disagreed, he tried his best to persuade him: "If you are worried about something going wrong, then this is it, you give me the meat, and I will be responsible for selling it. If something goes wrong, I will also be the one who speculates."
"Silly Zhu, do you want to die?"
The old man cursed angrily: "Ten yuan a pound of meat, believe it or not, if this gets out, you and Xiaofeng will be hated by the people in the city who can't eat meat, and then you will be dragged out and shot!"
Chen Feng nodded.
This is also one of his concerns.
Since ancient times, how many fools in this land have accidentally given away evidence and then become sacrifices for the emperor to appease public opinion.
This bastard Cao Mengde "borrowed people's heads for use", and countless emperors in later generations followed suit, saying that "the emperor is always right, it is the ministers who are wrong."
The people all over the country were in an uproar, and they killed a minister as a sacrifice to the heaven.
Now that the supply of meat has been reduced during the Spring Festival, some people at the lower levels have already accumulated a lot of anger.
Chen Feng caught the fish and caught the meat himself and ate them at home. It was useless for others to envy him.
With the old man's protection, Gao Chen had no worries as there was no legitimate reason for attack.
But if it is sold privately, the price is still more than ten times, which is equivalent to giving them a handle to bully others and it will be known to the public.
Haha, goodness, we can’t even smell the meat, and you sell it for five dollars a pound!
He must be dragged out and shot five hundred times!
Sha Zhu obviously didn’t think that much. At least he felt that as long as he kept it a secret, it wouldn’t be spread out.
After hearing the old man's angry curse, my mind finally became much clearer.
I originally thought that it would bring huge profits to Chen Feng, so that his friend could have meat to eat and he could also save face.
Now that I'm sober, this could be fatal!
"Master, I was wrong. I will take the things back now."
"Get out of here!"
The old man said angrily.
