However, it can also be seen from this that people who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries. It may be the old man's persistence that allowed him to reach the height of public attention later.

"Okay, actually over there..."

In the next hour or so, Fangyuan told the old man about the situation in the Northwest. Because time was limited, Fangyuan did not talk in detail.

But this is enough, because the old man only needs to know a rough idea to make a judgment.

The old man still has this ability, but even if it is not very detailed, it still makes the old man frown.

"Alas! I knew it was not easy over there, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult." After listening to Fangyuan's words, the old man sighed and said.

"Yes! It's really not easy. There are loess flying all over the sky every day, especially water, which is so scarce."

Fangyuan has personal experience! He has been there for several months and knows the situation there very well.

This is definitely not something that can be fully understood by talking about it. You can only feel the helplessness by being there.

"Fang Yuan, do you have any ideas?" the old man looked at Fan Yuan and asked.

"Idea?" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "I do have an idea, but now..."

Fangyuan didn't finish his words because he knew the old man would understand what he was going to say.

Sure enough, the old man nodded and said, "Yes! It's too early to say this now."

At this moment, the old lady came in with the food and said, "You two, stop chatting, the food is ready, let's eat."

"Let's go, wash your hands and eat." The old man stood up and said.

"Um!"

The food was quite sumptuous, mainly because Fangyuan came. Of course, Fangyuan also brought the ingredients for cooking, otherwise how could it be so sumptuous?

Four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes, and an egg soup.

After the two of them washed their hands and sat down, the old man handed the steamed bun stove to Fang Yuan and said, "Here, let's eat."

"Yeah!" Fangyuan nodded and picked up a cornmeal steamed bun from the bun stove.

This is a staple food and what the elderly have always eaten before.

Originally, when the old lady saw Fangyuan coming, she wanted to make some steamed buns, but there was no rush. It would have been more like it if Fangyuan had come a few hours earlier.

However, Fangyuan is not picky, and it’s not like he has never eaten steamed buns before, and has eaten a lot.

"Fang Yuan, come and eat a piece of meat." The old lady put a piece of meat into Fan Yuan's bowl and said.

"Thank you grandma, you can eat too."

"Eat eat eat."

The meal was finished quickly, and then the old lady went to pack up the things that Fangyuan had brought. Fangyuan chatted with the old man for a while and then left.

Of course, when leaving, Fangyuan kept the five hundred yuan from the pork sale that morning and some receipts.

The elderly need these now.

But after giving away the five hundred yuan, Fangyuan became a pauper again, yes! One hundred percent natural and pollution-free pauper.

When Fangyuan came back from the Northwest, he already had no money. No, knowing that he was coming to the old man's place, Fangyuan went to deliver some pork to Lao Cao in the morning.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the five hundred yuan to give the old man. Five hundred yuan is nothing to him, but for the old man and the old lady, it is enough for them to live for two years.

The old man personally walked Fangyuan to the door and watched Fangyuan leave before entering the house.

Let’s talk about Fangyuan. After leaving the old man’s place, we drove directly to Houhai.

He wanted to take a look inside the red door to see if he could get some money.

Although money is not very important in this era, it is impossible to live without money, because there are many things that require money.

But soon Fangyuan discovered that the red door seemed to be closed, yes! It was closed.

This closing door is different from the usual closing door. When Fang Yuan came here in the past, although the red door was also closed, it would open with a single knock.

Now, isn't it obvious that the red door is locked? The black market in the city is gone.

Of course, this may only be temporary, and it seems to open again at some point.

"Alas! What a pity." Fang Yuan shook his head and came down the steps.

You must know that this black market is very profitable. This is not about the people who come here to buy and sell things, but the boss here.

Now that this place is closed, Fangyuan will have to find a way to get money from other places.

If you want to make money, you can only go to Pigeon Market outside the city. Although it is a bit dangerous, it is also a no-brainer.

However, Fangyuan did not go outside Deshengmen this time. Instead, he drove his jeep to outside Fuchengmen. To the northwest of Fuchengmen, almost one kilometer away from Fuchengmen, is the Pigeon Market outside Fuchengmen.

Fangyuan has been here several times. The spending power is not comparable to Deshengmen and Jianguomen, but it is much better than outside Yongdingmen.

The four major pigeon markets are ranked north, east, west, and south. The pigeon market in the north, that is, outside Deshengmen, ranks first.

Fangyuan drove directly to the Pigeon Market. The area here was smaller than the Pigeon Market outside Deshengmen.

But it's a small place. Fangyuan may have arrived a little early. There aren't many people in Pigeon City, probably less than a hundred people.

Also, it hasn't been long since lunch, so even if someone comes, they will probably have to wait for a while.

Although there are few people, since they are here, Fangyuan cannot do nothing.

After parking the jeep, Fangyuan got out of the car, opened the back of the jeep, then took out the sign and leaned it against the car.

This sign is still the same as the one in Northwest China, and the words on it have not changed. Chickens cost three yuan a piece, and rabbits cost two yuan.

Although the price seems much higher than others, Fangyuan's chickens and rabbits are big! One is equivalent to three of others.

Let’s not talk about rabbits, let’s just talk about chickens. Other people’s chickens weigh two to three kilograms each, and the big ones are only a little over three kilograms, but the chickens like Fangyuan weigh about ten kilograms each.

If we only look at weight, Fangyuan is much cheaper than others. Others sell chickens for one piece, and larger chickens for one dollar and a half.

According to the price of one and a half chickens, one chicken only weighs less than four kilograms, and two chickens only weigh more than seven kilograms, and the same price is three yuan.

"Little brother, the price of your chicken is too expensive!" A middle-aged man came to Fangyuan and said after taking a look at the price on the sign.

"It's not cheap, but it's worth the money." Fangyuan smiled and did not explain.

There was no need, because he saw a few chickens where the middle-aged man was before. Needless to say, this middle-aged man was also selling chickens.

So there is no need for Fangyuan to explain anything to him. If he is here to buy chickens, then of course Fangyuan will definitely tell him why they are so expensive.

Hearing what Fangyuan said, the middle-aged man shook his head and left without even looking into the cage.

If he had taken one more look, he might not have said it was expensive. After all, he did this too, so he could tell the difference at a glance.

After Fangyuan prepared the place, a few people came to look around, but after seeing the words written on the sign, these people left without saying anything.

For half an hour, no one even came to ask. Fangyuan was not in a hurry because he had just been married at this time.

"Comrade, is your price too high?" An old man came in from outside, walked to Fangyuan, looked at the sign and asked.

"Old man, if you look at my chickens, you won't say that the price is high." After finishing speaking, Fangyuan lifted a cage from the jeep.

"Oh! Is there any difference?" The old man moved forward.

"Of course." Fang Yuan smiled, opened the cage, and took out a chicken from inside.

"Hiss! So big!" The old man looked at the chicken that Fangyuan caught in surprise and said.

"How's it going? Do you still think it's expensive?"

"This is really not expensive. This chicken weighs about ten pounds!" The old man looked at it and said.

"Absolutely, ten pounds should be no problem, and this is free-range chicken, so the meat is more fragrant."

"Give me one." The old man took out three dollars from his pocket and handed it to Fangyuan, then took the chicken from Fangyuan's hand.

The old man didn't ask for a cage or anything. He took out a cloth bag from his waist, put the chicken directly into the bag, and left.

This is the real way to buy something, just buy it if it seems suitable, and don't be verbose at all.

And he didn't make Fangyuan cheaper, because the old man had his own judgment, and he knew that Fangyuan would not be cheap.

In this case, why waste your time?

However, the old man's purchase is definitely a publicity for Fangyuan. People who just thought Fangyuan was expensive when they saw the chicken the old man bought, no one said it was expensive anymore.

If calculated based on weight, Fangyuan's chicken is worth at least four yuan. In this case, no one thinks it's expensive.

"Little brother, give me one."

"Can."

Fangyuan nodded and grabbed one from the cage. The person who was a little hesitant just now stopped hesitating when he saw the size of the chicken.

"Little comrade, I want one too."

"Little brother, if you sell this rabbit for two yuan, it won't get smaller, right?" someone asked.

"Of course, the rabbit is also about ten pounds."

"What! It's about ten pounds, why is it so big?" the man asked in disbelief.

"Free-range meat rabbits are relatively large and have a lot of meat."
