1968: At the beginning, the beautiful sister-in-law came to borrow food! Chapter 055

Li Yunfeng’s declaration of “Ma Family Fort Production Team, Liaobei Boxing King Ma Dashuai” stunned everyone around him.

The looks directed at Li Yunfeng, in addition to the previous awe, now held a hint of disbelief and deep apprehension.

Because Liaobei wasn’t here; it was very, very far away.

Moreover, there was no production team called Ma Family Fort nearby!

It was clear this person must have come from an incredibly distant place.

Such a person was not to be trifled with, absolutely not!

“Alright, Ma Dashuai, we’ll remember you!”

The two brothers, after hearing the title of Liaobei Boxing King Ma Dashuai, truly couldn’t recall ever offending such a formidable individual.

Although their Old Zhao family was considered a prominent household within a ten-mile radius.

They knew very well who they could offend and who they couldn’t.

Besides, they had never offended a place called Ma Family Fort.

Could this person be a relative of someone nearby?

“Still remembering me? You two bastards, I’ll beat you every time I see you from now on.”

“Get lost!”

Hearing Li Yunfeng’s furious roar, the two brothers helped each other up and promptly left!

Watching their pathetic retreat, Li Yunfeng felt incredibly pleased.

Damn it, you two grandsons with your loose tongues! I’ll scare you to death!

Don’t tell me, the name Ma Dashuai, it really worked wonders!

The surrounding onlookers, seeing the main character tell people to leave, also wisely dispersed, no one daring to look at this formidable character who called himself Ma Dashuai again.

That swift and decisive combat skill, coupled with such a resounding title, was enough to deter most people.

Although no one had ever heard of the Liaobei Boxing King Ma Dashuai, how should one put it?

Since he dared to declare that name, he was undoubtedly a ruthless individual.

Li Yunfeng straightened his collar, which had been disheveled by the fight, and took a deep breath of the cold air, suppressing the anger and excitement in his heart.

He pulled his sled again and continued his grand plan of trading.

The black market indeed had a wide variety of goods; as long as you had money or hard currency to exchange, you could basically find anything.

Li Yunfeng first found the spice stall and bought a lot of soy sauce, vinegar, star anise, and other things. Especially salt, he made sure to buy a good amount extra.

It was cold in Northeast China, and the best way to preserve meat was by freezing it.

He thought to himself, he couldn’t eat all that bear meat and donkey meat himself, so he might as well take advantage of the cold weather to cure some preserved meat and find a way to mail it back to his family in Sijiucheng later.

Let his parents, grandparents, older brother, and younger sister also have a taste and get some much-needed fat.

In those days, it wasn’t easy to get meat in the city.

After buying the seasonings, he went to the daily necessities stall and picked out some brand-new coarse porcelain bowls, chopsticks, washbasins, thermoses, and a medium-sized iron pot. These were all for Shuhua and Shufen.

Thinking of their empty house, Li Yunfeng felt a little uneasy. He would help as much as he could.

Then, a thought struck him, and he remembered the precious bear gall in his embrace.

This thing was truly a rare item. While it was very nourishing to keep for himself, it was more worthwhile to exchange it for something more practical.

After all, he didn’t know how to prepare it himself, so it was better for someone who needed it to come and buy it.

Subsequently, Li Yunfeng placed the bear gall on the wooden board of his sled.

He sat there, waiting for someone to come!

Sure enough, less than five minutes later, a well-dressed middle-aged man wearing a felt hat and completely bundled up, after circling several stalls, his gaze finally landed on the faintly visible bear gall on Li Yunfeng’s sled.

He paused, hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

“Little brother,”

The middle-aged man lowered his voice, his sharp gaze sweeping over the bear gall, “How much for this?”

Li Yunfeng looked him over, noting his attire and calm demeanor, which suggested he wasn’t an ordinary person.

He felt confident and didn’t beat around the bush, directly holding up one finger, then another five.

“One hundred and fifty, not a penny less.”

Li Yunfeng’s tone was calm. Before coming, Li Yunfeng had already inquired.

Even the lowest grade of bear gall would start at a minimum of one hundred and fifty.

The middle-aged man’s eyebrows subtly furrowed upon hearing this, as if weighing his options.

He bent down, leaned closer, and, using the faint light from a nearby stall, carefully examined the quality of the bear gall, even seeming to sniff it gently.

“Hmm, it’s indeed a good item!”

He pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“Alright! One hundred and fifty it is! You’re straightforward, little brother, and I won’t dither!”

With that, he pulled a bulging cloth bag from his怀里, and without avoiding Li Yunfeng, he counted out fifteen large D团结 bills on the spot and handed them to Li Yunfeng.

“You count them.”

Li Yunfeng took the money, quickly counted it, and confirmed it was correct.

He tucked the money into his pocket, then carefully wrapped the bear gall in cloth and handed it to the middle-aged man.

“Here’s your goods.”

“No problem.”

The middle-aged man took the bear gall, carefully placed it in his embrace, nodded at Li Yunfeng, and without lingering, turned and quickly merged into the dark flow of people.

A big deal was completed so swiftly and decisively.

Li Yunfeng felt a sense of relief. With the bear gall sold, he not only exchanged it for a large sum of money, but now he had more cash on hand.

However, Li Yunfeng didn’t plan to continue exchanging for gold.

Later, when he had more money, he could continue to acquire some.

Over a thousand yuan wasn’t a huge amount, so he would just keep it on hand for now.

As it grew darker and darker, the black market gradually became sparse.

Li Yunfeng estimated that he had bought what he needed and sold what he could, so he didn’t linger.

He stood up, pulled his much lighter sled, and quickly left the trading area.

Walking to the edge of a quiet, deserted small forest, after observing his surroundings and confirming no one was there.

Li Yunfeng’s mind stirred, and he collected the sled along with all the remaining supplies—salt, seasonings, pots and pans, cloth, needles, and thread—all into the fourth layer of his hunting space.

Then, he released the donkey that he owed a bowl of stir-fried cabbage.

“Let’s go, Brother Donkey, we’re going home!”

Li Yunfeng swung himself onto the donkey’s back and patted its neck.

The donkey seemed to know it was going home, snorting.

“Hee-haw!” it brayed, breaking into a brisk trot, carrying Li Yunfeng toward Hongqi Production Team.

The journey back seemed a bit faster than the journey there.

Perhaps it was the peace of mind, or perhaps it was the large sum of money in his pocket and the anticipation of seeing his family, but Li Yunfeng felt even the biting cold wind had softened somewhat.

He even had the leisure to hum the Errenzhuan tune he had learned from the donkeys: “The commune members are transforming the land, working with fiery enthusiasm…”

晃晃悠悠, by the time he saw the faint smoke rising from his chimney in the distance, it was completely dark, with only a few cold stars twinkling in the night sky.

Li Yunfeng estimated it must be after midnight.

Arriving at the familiar small forest near his doorstep, he once again put the donkey back into the space, then quickly walked towards his door.

From a distance, he could see the warm, bright light spilling from his window, the fireplace surely burning brightly.

Li Yunfeng’s heart warmed. In this icy world, having a warm home, with a few warm people waiting for him, this feeling was truly so comforting.

He reached the door and gently knocked.

“Thump thump thump.”

Almost as soon as the knocking stopped, Natasha’s surprised voice came from inside.

“Is that the master back?”

Immediately after, Sophia’s equally joyful inquiry followed.

“Master?”

Then, the door creaked open from the inside.

Warm light instantly poured out, illuminating Li Yunfeng’s weather-beaten face.

Standing at the doorway were not only Natasha and Sophia, but also Shuhua and Shufen!

All four women, with the same expression of concern and anticipation, were looking at him.

Seeing this scene, Li Yunfeng felt a warmth in his heart. The irritation and calculations he had felt in the black market vanished instantly, replaced by a profound sense of belonging.

“Yes, I’m back.” Li Yunfeng grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and strode into the warm house.

Indeed, a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as one’s own doghouse!

Home is truly the best!
