Soon the door opened, and a young man in his mid-twenties came out.
"Master Liu, you are here, please come in quickly."
"Yes!" Mr. Liu nodded and walked into the courtyard.
Of course, Li Le quickly followed.
This courtyard house was very large. When Li Le came in, he realized that there were many people living here.
At first, Li Le thought that these people lived together in many families just like other places, but after thinking about it, he was wrong.
It is impossible for the people Mr. Liu knows to live with others. They must live in a courtyard.
Sure enough, Li Le soon discovered that although there were many people living here, there was really only one family.
The person who opened the door for them just now was the second son of the owner of this courtyard. The owner of this courtyard had a total of seven sons and three daughters.
All of them live here, and because of their status, they have no jobs.
Maybe it was there before, but after the division into components, some people were no longer able to go to work.
Even going to school is impossible, commonly known as the Black Five Categories.
This family belongs to this family. Of course, their identity is that of the old and the young. For a long time in the future, they will only be able to rest on their laurels.
Although there are no jobs, there are still rations, and they are available to everyone.
But they were used to eating big fish and meat, but suddenly they had to eat simple meals, not even meat, which was a bit unacceptable to them.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. If they have not enjoyed it before, it doesn't matter to them.
But they used to have good clothes and fine food, but suddenly they can hardly even eat. How can they accept it?
"Master Liu." Seeing them coming in, an old man in his fifties hurriedly greeted them with fists clasped.
"Master Ma." Master Liu also clasped his fists.
"Please." The horseman quickly made a gesture of invitation.
After Li Le and Liu Ye entered the room and sat down, someone brought tea.
"please."
"Thank you." After thanking Mr. Liu, he picked up the tea and took a sip.
Li Le also followed suit.
"Master Liu, I don't know..."
Master Liu quickly put down his tea cup and said, "Master Ma, I brought him here for you. Tell him what you need!"
In fact, Mr. Liu had food himself, but he had relatively little food and had no intention of taking action, so he called Li Le.
Because he knows better than anyone else that Li Le has a lot of food, and Li Le prefers antiques.
"What do you call this little brother?" Master Ma looked at Li Le and asked.
"My name is Li Le, you can call me Xiao Li or Xiao Le."
"Then let me call you Xiaole!"
Li Le knew that the reason why Mr. Ma called him that was because he meant to get closer to each other.
"Okay." Li Le nodded.
To be honest, it really doesn't matter, and he has no prejudice against these old people and children.
Because no matter who they are, there are good and bad people, such as Master Liu and Uncle Guan. To Li Le, these two are good people.
"Master Liu has already told me about your matter. Just tell me what you need, right?" Li Le looked at Master Ma and asked.
When Master Ma heard what Li Le said, he glanced at Master Liu, who nodded to him, and then said, "I need white noodles. Of course, meat is better."
"White flour is no problem, and I only have Fuqiang noodles here. As for the meat, I can also give you some, but you also know that there is not much meat at this time."
"I know."
He knew very well that each person now only had four taels of meat stamps per month. Their family of about thirty people only had more than ten kilograms of meat stamps a month.
Even if he bought them all, it wouldn't be enough for one meal. Mr. Ma didn't want to buy them on the black market, but he didn't dare to go.
If they were just ordinary people, they would go, but their status made them more cautious.
"Tell me the number!"
"One thousand catties of white flour, and another two hundred catties of meat."
In fact, he wanted to ask for more, but he also knew that at this time, if he asked for more, he might not get it.
"No problem, but what do I get?"
"Well!"
Mr. Ma was stunned for a moment. He thought Li Le would be in trouble, but he didn't expect that it was not the case at all.
He agreed directly without even thinking about it, which made him even more curious about Li Le's identity.
When is this the era of buying food by ticket?
They have a family of about thirty, and their monthly ration of white flour is only about two hundred kilograms.
One thousand kilograms of white flour is equivalent to their family’s five-month flour ration, not to mention meat.
Two hundred kilograms of pork is their family’s ration for a year and a half!
"Wait a moment." After Ma Ye said that, he stood up and walked inside.
A few minutes later, Mr. Ma brought a few things, placed them directly in front of Li Le and said, "What do you think of exchanging these things for the grain and meat?"
Although Li Le now has a certain understanding of antiques, he still turned his head and glanced at Master Liu.
After all, there are fakes in this era, and there are quite a lot of them. Only through Mr. Liu's eyes can it be guaranteed for Li Le.
There were four items in total. Mr. Liu picked them up and looked at them all. He turned to Li Le and nodded and said, "There is nothing wrong with the items."
"Okay, I'm going to pull something right now, just wait for me."
"Ah! Send it here now?" Mr. Ma asked in surprise.
For others, it is indeed inappropriate to send things in broad daylight, but for Li Le, the safer it is during the day.
Because he collects waste! They only come out to collect waste during the day. If they come out at night, there is a problem.
Master Liu knows about Li Le's situation! So he said to Mr. Ma: "He's fine."
"Oh! Okay."
Mr. Ma is very surprised! Liu Ye's words that he was fine made him even more curious about Li Le.
Li Le left Ma Ye's house and rode a tricycle. About ten minutes later, Li Le found a small forest and rode a tricycle in.
He's not that stupid. He really goes for a long ride. It's so cool in the woods! And not tired.
After waiting for about forty minutes, Li Le waved his hand, and there were twenty bags of white flour on the tricycle, as well as two hundred kilograms of pork.
This is fresh meat. Li Le originally planned to give some bacon or ham, but that would require a trip back.
Besides, bacon and ham are much more expensive than fresh meat.
After finishing it, Li Le took out the canvas from under the cart, covered it directly, and then tied it with rope.
To be honest, Li Le has only used this canvas a few times after collecting scraps for such a long time.
Because it was used to prevent rain and some of the collected things from getting wet. Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.
After tying it up, Li Le directly pushed the tricycle out of the woods. It would have been impossible for Li Le to push it out even if it had been anyone else.
Then Li Le rode towards Ma Ye's house.
After arriving, Li Le went up and knocked on the door, and the door opened quickly.
He is also the second son of Mr. Ma’s family.
After the gate opened, Li Le pushed the tricycle and walked into the courtyard.
After Li Le entered, Master Ma's second son looked around and quickly closed the door. At this time, Master Liu and Master Ma also came out of the house. Not only the two of them, but also Master Ma's family members also came out.
Because they all know that Li Le delivers food to their family.
"Master Ma, everything is here. You can ask someone to unload it. Besides, the meat is fresh meat. It's freshly killed, so it's best to marinate it."
Hearing what Li Le said, Master Ma quickly called to his sons and said, "Quickly unload it and put it in the cellar, and the meat will be marinated."
Master Ma gave the order and the sons started to take action. When the canvas was opened, Li Le could hear the sound of swallowing.
Needless to say, this is pork, two hundred pounds of pork!
It’s easy to work with so many people! In less than five minutes, everything on the tricycle was unloaded.
"Xiao Le, thank you! Thank you so much." Ma Ye said quickly to Li Le.
"No, I didn't give this to you for free. You exchanged it for something."
Although he said this, Master Ma knew that antiques were not valuable at this time.
Meat and grain were the most valuable. It was impossible to exchange his four items for so much with others.
It's even impossible to exchange it, this is two hundred kilograms of pork! And it’s fresh meat, as well as a thousand kilograms of Fuqiang powder.
Others don't know it, but Mr. Ma knows very well that this Fuqiang powder is not for him and ordinary people at all.
It's impossible to buy this stuff at the grain station because it doesn't exist.
Ordinary people can only buy eight-five standard powder, and Fuqiang fans can't even think about it.
But what others thought was impossible to buy, when it came to Li Le, it cost a thousand kilograms.
Not to mention Master Ma, even Master Liu was surprised.
You must know that although he has saved a lot of grain, he does not have much Fuqiang flour, only about one thousand kilograms in total, and the rest is eight-five standard flour.
"Come in and drink tea." Mr. Ma said quickly.
"good."
After coming to the room and sitting down, Master Ma personally poured a cup of tea for Li Le and said, "Xiao Le, if I need it again next time, can I see you again?"
"Of course!" Li Le nodded and said, "Just ask Mr. Liu to tell me when the time comes."
"Okay, okay."
Li Le and Liu Ye didn't stay here long.
Originally, Mr. Ma wanted to keep them to eat, but at this time, staying to eat would be adding a burden to others.
People have exchanged antiques for food, and you are still eating here. It really doesn’t make sense.
So Mr. Liu refused directly.
After leaving Ma Ye's house, Li Le did not go back, but went directly to Liu Ye's house.
Li Le didn't feel burdened to eat at Liu Ye's house, because Liu Ye's house had snacks!
Besides, if Mr. Liu's family is short of food, Li Le can help him, and it's free of charge.
"These four items are all good. They can be considered as treasures. Even if they don't reach the treasure level, they are almost there."
After arriving at Master Liu's house, Master Liu looked at the things and said.
"Um!"
"I can see it too, but I'm just not sure."
Yes, after Master Ma took it out, Li Le saw that it was a treasure, but Master Liu still slapped it.
No way, although Li Le is no longer a novice, he is still far behind Liu Ye, not even on the same level.
Lunch was at Mr. Liu's house, but Li Le didn't eat for free, he even brought out a piece of meat.
It was about five kilograms, not because he didn't want to take more, but because he took this piece of meat out of his schoolbag.
If it gets any bigger, it won't be normal.
Not to mention, Mr. Liu's cooking skills are pretty good, and his braised pork is truly authentic.
Li Ledu ate an extra bowl of rice.
After eating, Li Le did not leave, but was chatting with Mr. Liu.
"If this happens again, will you change it?" Master Liu asked.
"Change it! Why don't you change it? As you know, I have a lot of food in my hands."
The food in Li Le's space is fine, but the food in the cellar won't last long.
Even if he exchanges the food in the space, it will only last for five or six years at most.
After all, the current technology is not up to par. Although he has used glass storage, it is only stronger.
In other words, Li Le will have to sell about 200 tons of grain in the past few years.
This is not a small amount! Two hundred tons, which doesn't seem like much, might be enough for one person in the entire imperial capital.
But don't forget, he will not supply the entire imperial capital, but will exchange it for antiques and large and small yellow croakers.
This is a lot, and you can exchange it for a lot of antiques and large and small yellow croakers.
"Just change it. I'll ask you later. But don't worry, I won't find anything unstable for you."
Li Le is very sure about this, because Li Le knows very well what Mr. Liu is like.
Besides, no one is stupid at this time. With such a channel, everyone wants to maintain it.
What is food? It is life.
It was almost four o'clock when Li Le left Master Liu's house, and of course, there were four antiques.
Originally, he wanted to keep one for Master Liu, but Master Liu didn't like it at all, which made Li Le very helpless.
When they got home, Ma Feng and the others hadn't come back yet. Li Le knew that they probably wanted to take advantage of the cool weather to collect food for a while.
As for Li Le, it doesn't matter whether he takes it or not.
"Brother Le, are you back?" Zhao Yanran and her two sisters asked as they stood at the door of the main room.
"Yeah!" Li Le nodded and walked into the house.
As for the four antiques that were exchanged, they have now been placed in the space.
"By the way, Brother Le, I have a letter from you."
"Letter." Li Le frowned.
Who can write to him at this time?
And during this period, including this one, Li Le has received three letters.
"Yeah! I'll get it for you." After Zhao Yanran said that, she went into the back room and came out with a letter.
Li Le took it and took a look, but it was a blank envelope again.
Seeing this, Li Le frowned and said, "Is it Lou Bancheng again?"
"What's done?" Zhao Yanran asked.
"Oh! It's nothing. Let me see who wrote it." Li Le opened the letter after speaking.
When he saw what was inside, Li Le was surprised because there were actually two house deeds and land deeds inside.
Not only that, there are two mortgage agreements, and the dates are a year ago, and they have been signed and fingerprinted.
The most important thing is that Li Le does not recognize any of the names on these two mortgage agreements.
It is consistent with the name on the house deed and land deed.
Although he didn't know each other, Li Le was very sure that Lou Bancheng had definitely given the house and land deeds to him.
As for why the name on it is not Lou Bancheng, but two unfamiliar names. (End of chapter)
