Wear to the age!I take the space to eat and drink spicy food

Chapter 15

When she didn't understand the market, when she was queuing at the grain station, she heard a discussion from the aunt who bought the grain. The black market for cornmeal was about sixty-five cents a catty, and if she sold it for eighty cents.

Originally, cornmeal at the grain station cost [-] cents a catty, but she was already speechless when it was sold for [-] cents on the black market, but now the price has actually increased.

Seeing that Jiang Xue thought it was too expensive, the man explained in a low voice: "This year's harvest is not good, and there is not much food in the first place, so naturally it will be more expensive than usual."

"Eight cents is not expensive anymore, and I don't want coupons. If I didn't want to change some money to repair the house, I wouldn't come out to sell food."

The man also saw that Jiang Xue was dressed well, so he had the courage to come up and ask.

When Jiang Xue heard this, she was silent for a while. It was the third time she had heard about the poor harvest this year.

"Is there any fine grain? Rice or fine flour." Jiang Xue couldn't afford it, no matter it was sixty-five cents or eighty cents, so she could only ask this question, and inquire about the market by the way.

The man shook his head: "Fine grains are expensive, but they are rare. Let alone this time, even when the harvest was good last year, I haven't seen the grain station a few times."

"so."

Jiang Xue showed regret, and pretended not to be reconciled, and said: "But I just want to buy some fine grains, no matter how much, three to five catties, rice is best."

"My family has a bad stomach, so I have to eat some refined grains to improve it." Eating coarse grains for a long time is prone to gastrointestinal problems. After all, it requires strong digestion and puts a heavy burden on the stomach.

Hearing this, the man shook his head again: "Then I don't have one. This thing is expensive, and even if you see it once in a while on the black market, there is no market for it. Who can eat it these days."

Seeing that Jiang Xue didn't intend to buy cornmeal, the man could only shake his head and went to find another person.

After the man left, Jiang Xue looked at it for a while, got a general understanding of the situation, and then started to act.

She pulled up the scarf to cover half of her face, and then began to ask people about two fine grains, rice and refined flour, intentionally or unintentionally.

The people she questioned either shook their heads or said no.

Some people will mutter: "Where can I find rice easily? It costs three or four or five yuan a catty. How much cornmeal and dried sweet potatoes can be exchanged."

Jiang Xue said that her father, who was seriously ill, just said this, turned around and left disappointed, but he was speechless in his heart, three yuan is more than a catty, it is simply frantic.

Well, it’s no wonder that it’s so difficult to get a household registration in the city. If you have a household registration, you can eat commercial grain, even if it’s a fixed amount, but if you have a grain book, you can go to the grain station to buy grain. The price can be said to be cheap compared to the black market.

The money to buy three to five catties of rice in the black market can buy half a bag of cornmeal at the grain station, and two sacks of dried sweet potatoes...

Glancing at the mountains of rice, flour, and other grains piled up in her own space, Jiang Xue swallowed, feeling instantly that they were mountains of gold and silver.

Selling rice without impulsiveness, Jiang Xue went around the black market, got a general understanding of what was missing, and also a general understanding of the market, and then left where she came from.

At this time, there was a shortage of everything, but Jiang Xue felt that to be on the safe side, she could only sell food.

First, there is no sign, and no one can find the source after the shot. Second, if the food has entered the stomach, there is no place to check for anything.

Leaving the black market, Jiang Xue saw that it was still early, so she inquired all the way to the steel factory. Unexpectedly, it was quite far away. When she returned, the sun quickly set.

As soon as she left the city, it became dark, and not long after, Jiang Xue found herself being followed.

There are no other people on the road, she is fast and others are fast, and she is slow and others are slow.

Just as Jiang Xue was touching the dagger that had been prepared in her arms, she only heard the turn of the front

There was the sound of fine footsteps and heavy breathing.

Could it be that there were wolves before and tigers behind?
Jiang Xue's face turned cold, it seems...

But he didn't want the person behind him to seem to hear footsteps, and then stopped hesitantly.

At this time, an uncertain shout came from the front.

"Is it sister Xue?"

Jiang Dabao?
Why is he here?

Jiang Xue was taken aback for a moment, then quickly responded: "It's me."

"It's so late, why did you come out!"

As soon as Jiang Dabao heard Jiang Xue's response, he ran over happily and said joyfully, "Big sister, why are you so dawdling."

After the words fell, he said complainingly: "I came out with my father and brothers to pick you up. They are convenient in the front. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wangcai kept wanting to rush over. I knew it must be you when I saw it."

"Big sister, didn't you say you came back earlier? Dad said, you came back late, next time you won't be allowed to go out by yourself..."

Jiang Xue was not stupid, and quickly answered the question: "It's my fault, didn't I forget the time when I was walking around the street."

"Then let's go quickly, big sister. Dad brought a hunting knife when he came out. He said that he would lead us to catch wild rabbits with Wangcai later. It's too late."

Jiang Dabao didn't seem to see the figure not far away, talking happily while stepping forward to hold Jiang Xue's hand.

"Big sister, you don't know. Wangcai just caught a hare. The eldest brother and the third brother said that the hares are all in one litter. There must be more nearby. Daddy and second brother are convenient, so the two of them went to find it." The rabbit's nest has gone."

"I don't know if I can catch the little rabbit in a while. The third brother said that if there is a little rabbit, he can raise two for me..."

Jiang Xue praised her cleverness in her heart, if she didn't know, she would have believed what Jiang Dabao said.

Sure enough, when the hesitant people heard this, they immediately turned around and left.

Heitian, with so many people, and with hunting knives and hunting dogs, if he is going to run into each other soon, then he will be out of luck.

On the other hand, Jiang Dabao was pulling Jiang Xue and grinning, chasing after me, jokingly running away, Jiang Dabao was still running, while yelling that he wanted to sue his father and brothers...

In this way, people who were still hesitant would have no doubts.

In this way, Jiang Xue and Jiang Dabao ran for about two miles before stopping.

After stopping, Jiang Xue was fine, but Jiang Dabao was panting heavily, with his mouth open, showing that he was very tired.

But Jiang Xue felt that, to a large extent, she was hungry.

"Dabao, it's pitch black, why did you come out?"

Jiang Dabao seemed to have calmed down, and then said: "Grandma said that there will be strong winds today, and sister Xue, you promised to come back to sleep at night, but I haven't seen you since it's getting late, so I'll go to the city to look for you."

"I walk slowly, and when I saw you, I saw someone following you, so I took a detour and ran to the front to meet you."

Jiang Xue smiled when she heard the words: "Thank you, Dabao, you are so smart. But this is still very dangerous, so don't do it in the future."

There were knives, sticks, and even a few guns in her space, so when Jiang Xue found herself being followed, although she was a little nervous, she was not particularly scared.
