Chapter 14 So Fair and Honest
"Comrade Jiang, don't be too impatient about finding someone. If you can't find them today, you should come back as soon as possible. Ma'am has nothing else here, but at least there is a broken house for rest."

The matter of finding someone, how can it be so easy to achieve, save money if you can, that's why Aunt Jiang offered to let Jiang Xue live here.

It's not easy for a girl to go out. Food is so expensive these days, and she is willing to give two catties of millet to someone who is not relatives or reasons, which proves that Jiang Xue has a kind heart.

Aunt Jiang felt that she was the only one in the family who was a bad old woman and a boy who was three and a half years old, and there was nothing to be taken for granted.

If she can help, it's nothing more than providing a shelter from the wind.

"Hey, thank you, ma'am." Jiang Xue thanked gratefully.

Today, Jiang Xue's focus is no longer on the issue of finding a job and solving the household registration problem. If you don't have a household registration, you want to work.

To have enough food and clothing, you have to have money in your pocket, otherwise, it would be inconvenient to do anything.

Therefore, today Jiang Xue just inquired about the news, understood the situation, and the most important thing was to figure out what was going on in the black market, and try to find a way to exchange some things from the space, such as coupons, such as money.

Today's breakfast was still settled on the road, but luck was not as good as yesterday, and there was no passing carriage to sit in.

Jiang Xue didn't care, she trotted for a while, walked briskly for a while, and entered the city as if she was exercising.

Wandering on the street, I went to a non-staple food store, and watched the people who came to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar buy vinegar from large vats of soy sauce. I also saw that the non-staple food store finally came to some pork and fish, and people queued up Looting.

The residents who bought were all grinning and talking to the chef at the pork stall and the salesman at the fish stall, talking nicely about what they wanted to buy, and they didn't even dare to pick and choose.

Jiang Xue made sure once again, um, there is a shortage of supplies, so you don't have to worry about eating whatever you want.

After leaving the non-staple food store, Jiang Xue was shocked and happy at the same time.

Shocked because of the lack of supplies at this time, happy because she has the supplies of a space, and instantly feels that she has become the richest man, or the feeling of getting rich overnight.

When she was happy, she couldn't help but want to eat. Jiang Xue reached into her pocket, touched it, and took out a piece of beef that was two wide and stuffed it into her mouth. The spicy taste of the beef instantly made her narrow her eyes happily.

Really delicious!
It would be great if I could drink quilt milk tea at this time. Thinking about it this way, Jiang Xue took out her shoulder bag again, and took out a military green water bottle from the big shoulder bag. It looks just right.

The kettle was filled with milk tea. She drank a couple of sips in her arms, and suddenly felt happy in her heart. Walking around the street with the cold wind blowing did not feel desolate anymore.

It was already ten o'clock when I passed the bathhouse, the bathhouse had already opened, and I saw people coming in and out from time to time, Jiang Xue looked down at herself, then raised her sleeves and sniffed, it was okay, not smelly.

The point is, you have to pay for a bath, five cents a time, and Jiang Xue once again experienced what it is like to be stumped by a penny for a hero.

Even if she can take out a few banknotes from the space now, she can't use them at this time.

Still have to find a way to the black market.

After a whole morning, Jiang Xue couldn't find where the black market was.

For lunch, she ate three steamed buns resolutely, drank a pack of fresh milk in a hurry, and continued to search.

Although she didn't eat meat for lunch, Jiang Xue didn't care about it anymore. You know, Jiang Xue has always been obsessed with eating.

Just when Jiang Xue was almost depressed, thinking that today was a waste of effort, she suddenly found two people, one carrying a basket, the other carrying a bamboo basket, both covered with gray cloth, secretly going to a place .

Is it?

Jiang Xue's eyes lit up, and immediately followed cautiously.

Following the two people in front, Jiang Xue fell far behind, turned left and right, and came to the back of the bus station.

Jiang Xue has never been here before, after all, she has no money in her pocket, and she doesn't know where to go, where will she come to the bus station.

But she didn't expect that the black market was hidden in an open space behind the bus station.

So aboveboard?

After Jiang Xue came out of the alley, she was a little taken aback.

If she remembers correctly, there seems to be a family courtyard a few hundred meters away from the small park in front of the bus station. Is this considered dark under the lights?
The people Jiang Xue followed came here just now and separated. Those carrying baskets and bamboo poles all found their own places one by one, and there were already people here.

Some people are leaning against the tree to take a nap, some are leaning against the wall to bask in the sun, and some are just squatting on the side of the road and looking at the passing cars and passers-by like idle fools.

If Jiang Xue hadn't seen someone push a bicycle and asked a few people, and then followed one of them to leave and reappeared shortly after leaving. There was a small bag of things in the back seat of the bicycle, she would have thought it was just a simple question.

She also saw that the person carrying the bamboo basket was asked a few times before, either shaking his head, or nodding and leading others to trade.

Soon the things in the bamboo basket seemed to be sold out, so he picked up the bamboo basket, looked in the direction of the person coming along, saw that person shook his head from a distance, and picked up the empty bamboo basket. Lan found a corner and squinted to bask in the sun.

All of this is indescribably weird and harmonious.

While Jiang Xue was observing in a daze, someone walked towards her.

"Comrade, do you want food?"

The speaker was dressed like a farmer from the countryside, similar to the clothes of the old man driving a car that Jiang Xue met yesterday.

He was also carrying a bamboo basket, with a bamboo cover covering the mouth of the basket. Looking through the gap, one could vaguely see that there was a cloth bag inside the bamboo basket.

And his shoulders were strangled by the rope of the bamboo basket, and it could be seen that the weight was not light.

Jiang Xue quickly took advantage of the situation and asked in a low voice: "What food do you have?"

The man looked around, without making a sound, took out a handful of things from his pocket, Jiang Xue took a closer look, is this cornmeal?
Unlike the clean cornmeal she saw in the supermarket in later generations, this cornmeal was probably simply crushed two or three times with a stone mill, the size of the particles was uneven, and there were some gravel, some corn leaves and corn in it. Fragments of the rod.

But Jiang Xue didn't find it strange either. She saw cut sweet potato vines and sweet potato leaves inside dried sweet potatoes at the grain station. Although the people queuing up to buy grain murmured, everyone seemed to be accustomed to it.

So Jiang Xue understands that this is the case at this time, and there is no choice.

"How to change?" Jiang Xue asked the price in a very knowledgable way.

"Eight cents a pound."

Jiang Xue gasped when she heard the words, Bamao?
Even if rice and white flour are not available, and cornmeal is sold as fine grain, it cannot be sold at this price.
