It takes about an hour to walk from the farmyard he bought to Beiwan Hutong where Liu Daneng lives. Although there are buses that can be transferred, Xu Zhengdao still chooses to walk to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment and road conditions.

Perhaps because it was the factory's off-duty time, there were a lot of pedestrians on the street. But what Xu Zhengdao really found interesting was the large number of bicycles on the street during off-duty hours. The number was really extraordinary.

Occasionally passing a traffic light intersection and looking at the bicycles waiting in line to pass, Xu Zhengdao couldn't help but sigh: "This scene is very familiar! It's just that in my memory of this scene of queuing up and waiting for the green light, people are riding electric bicycles."

Although bicycles at this time are not as enviable as they were a few years ago, many dual-income families still cannot afford a bicycle. At this time, people's means of transportation are mostly domestic bicycles.

Foreigners who are lucky enough to experience this era can't help but sigh with emotion every time they see such a scene, "This is a kingdom of bicycles." But they never imagined that the speed of development of this country in the future will truly shock the world.

When he was in junior high school in his previous life, Xu Zhengdao also bought a variable-speed bicycle. Later, when he got electric vehicles and cars, he had never ridden a bicycle. Seeing the motorcade waiting for the green light in front of him, he felt that he should buy a bicycle as soon as possible.

"Although you can occasionally see cars and motorcycles on the street, if you want to be less conspicuous, it is more reliable to ride a bicycle. In a few years, private cars will no longer be so conspicuous, and maybe you can buy a car instead.

."

Seeing the vast army of bicycles passing the traffic lights, Xu Zhengdao also quickened his pace. On the way to Beiwan Hutong, he also deliberately observed the surrounding roads and streets in order to find more hidden paths.

It is different from the later generations when the streets were full of neon lights and the night markets and bars were open until early morning. Nowadays, city people do not have much entertainment at night, and people who are still wandering on the streets or alleys at night can easily attract the vigilance of those uncles and aunts.

In the eyes of these voluntary patrols, normal people stay at home and rest at night, so who wanders around at night? Only those sneaky guys will wander around when others are resting.

Therefore, it is easy to be misunderstood if you don’t rest at night and run around in the streets or alleys!

When he arrived at Beiwan Alley, he took out the gold pocket watch in his pocket and took a look at it. He found that it was already the opening time of the Pigeon Market. Thinking that Liu Daneng would no longer be home at this time, he walked towards the Pigeon Market not far from the alley.

Many times, in order to avoid attracting attention, Pigeon Market will choose to open in a relatively remote place. Although Pigeon Market is not recognized by the government, and was even frequently attacked by the government in the past few years, it seems to be much better now.

Even so, Xu Zhengdao also learned from Liu Daneng that although the Pigeon Market is not dominated by the government, there are still a group of people who secretly collect stall fees. Anyone who wants to set up a stall in the Pigeon Market must pay the stall fee.

In a sense, the so-called stall fee is actually a protection fee. After paying the stall fee, if a conflict occurs during the transaction, the managers who collected the stall fee will also mediate or directly evict the person.

As Xu Zhengdao once said on the Internet in his previous life, the world is not only black and white, but also has many gray areas. Is this kind of pigeon market opened on the edge of the city a gray area in the city?

Walking to the block where the Pigeon Market is located, looking at the crowds coming and going, Xu Zhengdao felt that the busy scene of the Pigeon Market was probably no less than that of a regular farmer's market. A few years ago, people who came to the Pigeon Market would have disguised themselves.<

/p>

People who sell things are cautious, and people who buy things are equally cautious. They are obviously just buying and selling daily necessities, but they are doing it like secret contacts with spies. Fortunately, nowadays, the government seems to have relaxed a lot about this.

But for Xu Zhengdao who entered the pigeon market, he still wore a windproof and warm hat. This kind of hat with plush ear protection is common in winter. It can be seen on many people's heads during this season, so it naturally does not attract anyone's attention.

.

When he walked into the Pigeon Market, Xu Zhengdao also felt keenly that there were people lingering near the entrance, looking around and paying attention to every customer entering and leaving the Pigeon Market. Not surprisingly, they were the maintainers of order in the Pigeon Market.
p>

Because he had been here a few times before, Xu Zhengdao easily found the stall where Liu Daneng was. What surprised him was that after not seeing him for just a few days, Liu Daneng looked obviously a lot worse. The beard he usually took care of had changed.

A lot sloppy.

When I saw Liu Daneng's stall, there were only some eggs and poultry tied with ropes, but there was no real pork for sale. It can be seen that Liu Daneng's supply shortage problem must not have been solved to this day.

With a smile on his lips, Xu Zhengdao immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Liu, are you anxious to get angry again?"

Xu Daneng, who was originally squatting behind the stall, raised his hand from time to time to dismiss customers who wanted to buy poultry and eggs. When the customers were dissatisfied, he was naturally unhappy. Fortunately, he also knew that "harmony brings wealth" and did not conflict with the customers.

.

While he was immersed in smoking, he heard a familiar voice. Liu Daneng raised his head and his expression changed instantly. He said with some expectation and flattery in his eyes: "Brother Azheng, you are back? When did you come back?"

"I came back in the morning and sorted out the things I brought home during the day. Seeing that you didn't come over, I thought you must be very busy, so I came over at this time to take a look. What's the matter? The meat issue hasn't been resolved yet?"<

/p>

"Oh, don't mention it! My friend who used to be a brother-in-law suddenly turned against me and suddenly provided the goods that were supposed to be provided to me to his brother-in-law. Although I was unhappy, there was nothing I could do about it. Who knew there was a way to get the meat from the slaughterhouse?

!"

It would certainly not be possible to open the business every day just by relying on the villagers in the countryside to provide the pork needed for sale. Earlier, Liu Daneng deliberately made friends with a leader of a slaughterhouse, and he was able to buy some so-called unplanned pork from him every month.

But what he never expected was that the guy suddenly changed his attitude after the year. Even if Liu Daneng raised the price of meat, he still said he would no longer cooperate with him. Suddenly losing this stable supplier, his butcher stall business naturally suffered a great deal.

Impact.

The reason why he didn't go to Xu Zhengdao's house on the outskirts of the city during the day was because he went to the countryside. However, he was greatly disappointed and only bought the things now on the stall. And these things had been promised to regular customers before.
p>

Just when he was full of expectations, Xu Zhengdao didn't say much nonsense and said directly: "Can you find someone to help look after this stall? I'll take all the things I promised you to the shabby room before. Don't worry, wait until the stall is closed.

It’s okay to take it.”

"Oops! At the critical moment, my brother is the one to rely on. No need to wait for the stall to close, I will go with you to pick up the goods now. It's still early, if there is stock, I can sell at least one before the market closes."

Knowing that Xu Zhengdao had brought back the meat he needed most, Liu Daneng was still able to sit there. Let Xu Zhengdao go first, and he handed over the stall to the apprentice who collected it. He also brought a few trusted brothers with him and hurried to the place where he had previously traded.

Corner dilapidated house.

When Liu Daneng and the brothers he brought with him saw three fat wild boars on the ground, everyone couldn't help but take a breath and said: "Grab a piece of grass, this wild boar is so big, I'm afraid it's the king of wild boars."

Let’s do it!”

As Liu Daneng and others guessed, two of the three wild boars traded tonight weighed about three hundred kilograms. The remaining one weighed at least four to five hundred kilograms. Such a huge wild boar would naturally be regarded as a

Wild Boar King.

On the contrary, Xu Zhengdao said calmly: "Brother Liu, when cleaning this big wild boar, remember to keep the pig belly. Tomorrow I will prepare some medicinal materials for you, stew the pig belly with the medicine for the aunt to eat, and it can also be used to cook it.

Her old stomach problem."

"Okay! Then tonight, I will take care of this big one first. Tomorrow, remember to come over for lunch!"

"Sure! I'll leave the rest to you. It's not too early now, so I'll go back to the market first. I'll talk about anything tomorrow!"

Knowing that Liu DaNeng brought people to pull pigs, he wanted to pack up a wild boar immediately and sell it. He had been short of meat for so long, and the regular customers who often took care of his business wanted to buy meat from him. If he didn't sell any more meat, they would definitely not be able to sell it in the future.

No more taking care of his business.

When doing business in Pigeon Market, many vendors like to do business with regular customers. If the regular customers are lost, even if they find meat in the future, it may not be easy to sell it easily. After all, there are really more and more people doing business now.
