Chapter 432: Chapter 0432 Arriving with the Wind 4_1

In this world, the good things that my grandma values are not worth any money, how strange.

After Shen Feihong stated his request, he nervously looked at Feng Qingxue, fearing that she would think he was asking for too much, but he had no choice, he needed to get food for the officials he dealt with privately.

It’s not expensive, Feng Qingxue thought.

She nodded at Shen Feihong, "Brother Feihong, we’ve agreed, payment in full, no backing out!"

Shen Feihong grinned, "No backing out, no backing out, backing out is for cowards! Compared to food, these jewelry trinkets are nothing. In this world, food is the most important. Back in ’61, I exchanged 200 pounds of sweet potatoes for a big courtyard, now just the rent is enough to support my grandma." He couldn’t help but show off.

Feng Qingxue widened her eyes, 200 pounds of sweet potatoes, not dried ones, for a big courtyard? What a good deal!

So, according to the market, she thought she had gotten a good deal by bartering food for jewelry, but in reality she was the one benefiting, right? Right?

Shen Feihong didn’t know what Feng Qingxue was thinking, but he gave her a gentle nudge, "In the black market, besides gold and silver coins that can sell for some money, everything else is cheap. If you can trade them for a few pounds of food, the other party would be grateful. If you like it, sister, I can get you more next time. Just have some food ready to exchange." He didn’t want money.

"Big brother, you’re not being honest, you just said you spent quite a bit of money and food, now you’re saying it’s worthless, if it’s worthless then why are you collecting it?" Feng Qingxue was curious. Generally, people collecting gold and silver jewelry is normal, but it’s rare for people to want jewelry.

Shen Feihong didn’t hide it from her, he replied, "My grandma said, those are all good things, they used to be extremely valuable, it’s just that the times are bad, but if you keep them, there’s bound to be no harm. I just listened to my grandma, once I had some surplus food and money, I dove into the black market, then I made deals with those who were involved in the raids, and got quite a few things from them. Sister, we are birds of a feather. In the future, let’s keep each other in mind. If you get rich, don’t forget about me."

"Likewise, likewise."

Feng Qingxue packed the items away and put them directly into her space storage. Afterward, she asked Lu Jiang to serve the meal and invited Shen Feihong to join.

After all, it’s just a simple meal that doesn’t attract attention.

After the meal, Lu Jiang packed up twenty pounds of white flour and fifty pounds of cornmeal for Shen Feihong. Shen Feihong brought a cloth bag and a bamboo basket, and following Feng Qingxue’s suggestion, gave him the dozen or so eggs sent by Cheng Baoguo.

Shen Feihong blinked, banishing the sourness in his eyes.

After Lu Jiang sent him out of the Wanglou Brigade, he returned to find the secretary’s office full of people. They were crowding and shouting, there was also a mule cart and a few small wheelbarrows that didn’t belong to their own production team.

"What happened?" Lu Jiang called after the hurriedly passing Wang Dachun.

Wang Dachun stamped his foot, "What could have happened? It’s the end of the year, life’s hard, they’re here to borrow reserve grain!"

The reputation of the Wanglou Brigade had spread. Some time ago, Wang Zhengguo had been publicly praised by the commune officials in the meeting. He felt something was wrong at the time. This is not a good thing, it’s not easy to be a model. Now, the extremely poor Huoguang Production Team had come knocking, asking to borrow grain, borrow reserve grain!
