1968: At the beginning, the beautiful sister-in-law came to borrow food! Chapter 041

Back in the dimension, Li Yunfeng began to tally his current supplies.

Thirty chicken eggs, two hundred duck eggs, and ten goose eggs.

However, the goose eggs would refresh tomorrow, so he would be able to harvest quite a few more.

Inside the dimension, he now had five thousand yuan in cash and eight small gold bars.

Then there was firewood, one catty of tea, and the donkeys from the sixth floor.

The donkeys would not be sold to outsiders tonight.

After realizing there were no more goods to sell, Li Yunfeng spent half an hour drinking tea in the dimension.

Then he walked out of the dimension. Sure enough, as soon as he stepped out, the pork and donkey meat he had just sold disappeared.

Li Yunfeng chuckled twice and walked towards the nearby stalls.

At this time, the stalls were all set up along the riverbank.

On the stalls, there was a kerosene lamp that only glowed faintly.

A black cloth was draped over the kerosene lamp, making it difficult to see what was being sold on the stall.

Many old aristocrats and their descendants relied on this trick to sell many fake antiques.

This was purely a test of eyesight, so many people who came to buy antiques would bring professionals with them.

Li Yunfeng didn’t understand antiques and had no intention of buying them. Even if he bought antiques now, by the time they appreciated in value, Li Yunfeng would be old, so there was no need to store antiques.

It was better to enjoy the money now, since he had foreknowledge.

If he liked antiques later, he could just buy them then.

“Comrade, how much are your yellow croakers?”

After strolling past two stalls, he finally found one selling yellow croakers.

And there were both small and large yellow croakers.

“Twenty yuan per gram, the small ones are six hundred and twenty-five, the large ones are six thousand two hundred and fifty!”

The stall owner didn’t even lift his head, introducing them to Li Yunfeng in a hoarse voice.

“Alright, give me six bars!”

Li Yunfeng picked up a small gold bar, squeezed it, and then rubbed it with his hand.

After carefully observing it and confirming it was real gold, Li Yunfeng immediately started pulling out money.

Three thousand seven hundred and fifty yuan, a direct cash-for-goods exchange!

After taking the small gold bars, Li Yunfeng left the stall.

As for how to distinguish real gold, traditional methods were not very accurate.

However, at this time, no one in this remote area would make and sell fake small gold bars.

As for how to distinguish it, the main thing was to check its hardness. Gold has a low hardness.

With a little force, or by biting it with your teeth, you can leave a mark on it.

Moreover, this yellow croaker, or gold, can also be distinguished by its color.

As the saying goes, “Seventy percent green, eighty percent yellow, ninety-five percent red!”

What does that mean? It means that gold with a seventy percent gold content will have a greenish tint.

Similarly, eighty percent will be yellow, and ninety-five percent or more will be reddish-yellow.

Finally, gold is a heavy metal, so it will feel relatively heavy when weighed in the hand.

He now had fourteen small gold bars. He aimed to collect over one hundred small gold bars before returning to Sijiucheng.

This way, when the “going abroad craze” started in the 1980s, he could buy up all the siheyuans!

At that time, he wouldn’t need to do any big business, just open a few shops.

He would be like those old Beijingers, with a yellow dog on his left and a hawk on his right, teasing cats and dogs.

Becoming a true old Sijiucheng local!

He even imagined that when short videos appeared fifty years later,

Li Yunfeng, nearing seventy, could even do a live broadcast.

“A Day in Old Sijiucheng!”

“Heh, guess what?”

“An old Sijiucheng local wakes up like this in the morning!”

“It’s so authentic, so beautiful!”

“Truly mind-blowing, my old rascal!”

After putting away the small gold bars, Li Yunfeng set aside another thousand yuan.

Then, with the remaining two hundred and fifty yuan, he strolled towards other stalls.

There were now three people in the household, but only two guns. Li Yunfeng planned to buy another one.

He would even need to buy more if Shuhua and the others moved in later.

In these deep mountains, it was important to be careful if he made enemies with the locals.

Otherwise, he might die an unexplained death, which would be truly pointless.

Just like last time, a hundred yuan for two hundred rounds of ammunition and a double-barreled shotgun.

Li Yunfeng tested it, found the gun was fine, and bought it directly.

Then he bought a sled, along with some daily necessities, firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

The mission for this trip was to buy some rations, Li Yunfeng hadn’t forgotten that.

The price of grain was still relatively cheap. Rice was twenty cents a catty, refined rice was thirty cents a catty.

White flour was twenty-five cents a catty, and premium white flour, or enriched flour, was forty cents a catty.

Li Yunfeng bought two hundred catties of premium rice, costing sixty yuan, and only fifty catties of enriched flour, costing twenty yuan.

It wasn’t that Li Yunfeng didn’t want to buy more, but there simply wasn’t any for sale.

All the good stuff had been bought by Li Yunfeng. These two hundred-plus catties of grain would be enough for the family to eat for two months.

He could buy more at the next black market.

He checked the money in his hand; he still had seventy yuan left.

Li Yunfeng started wandering around the black market again.

He spent another fifteen yuan to buy ten bottles of Xifeng wine.

Five yuan bought some walnut crisps and White Rabbit candy.

Then he exchanged twenty duck eggs for a sled.

Only then did Li Yunfeng, pulling the sled, slowly make his way towards the mountain.

Entering the forest, he put away the sled, and with an over-the-shoulder throw, he pulled out a donkey.

He went up and gave the donkey two solid punches to the head.

Gripping the donkey’s mane, he trudged towards home, one foot deep, one foot shallow.

“Indeed, you must have a cheat code to transmigrate to this era!”

“Otherwise, with my weak arms and legs from before, I don’t know how much suffering I would have endured when I went to the countryside.”

It was true that Li Yunfeng had never done farm work in either his previous life or this one.

If he suddenly worked so hard, he definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it.

But now, with the cheat code, he didn’t have to work so hard.

He could strategize, and even if he didn’t earn as many work points, he could still survive, right?

“The commune members are transforming the land, working with great enthusiasm.”

“The girls are carrying baskets of soil, running along.”

“The young men are swinging their picks, splitting half a mountain.”

“Putting in great effort and sweating profusely for high production.”

“Contributing to the revolution, I’m willing to be tired!”

Riding on the donkey’s back, singing the Errenzhuan he had heard from the donkey and others.

He slowly swayed his way back home.

“Heh, you know what?”

“You, you’re a donkey.”

“In the village, there’s also a person named Donkey.”

“The key is that this Donkey is a really good person!”

“Oh, isn’t this that…?”

As he sang this Errenzhuan, a scene suddenly flashed through Li Yunfeng’s mind.

It was when Ma Dashuai, the boxing king of Liaobei, sang this part when he had amnesia.

It was said that when this part of the Errenzhuan was sung back then, half of the people in Northeast China couldn’t help but shed tears.

However, Li Yunfeng couldn’t empathize at the time.

Because Li Yunfeng had never encountered these things.

Now, in this scene, singing these few lines directly made Li Yunfeng resonate.

For example, cranial resonance, oral resonance, ear resonance, chest resonance, pelvic…

Forget it, no need for that resonance!
