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

Chapter 24 The Hillbilly

Jiang Xue was wearing black cotton trousers, a gray work jacket with large pockets, a gray scarf, and black shoes. The color of this outfit looked gray, but there were no patches on her body.

The clothes also look about [-]% to [-]% new, and the condition of the family is good, otherwise they would not be asked if they want fruit.

When she saw the fruit that the woman came to sell, Jiang Xue's eyes flashed with surprise.

An orange, an orange bigger than a fist.

It's November now, and in this year and month, there are not many out-of-season fruits, let alone imported fruits.

"Isn't this an orange?"

The woman nods.

Jiang Xue rolled her eyes, she seemed a little dissatisfied and said, "It doesn't look very fresh."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman looked at her like a fool, and said: "It's hard to save this, it's pretty good to have it for more than half a month."

Half a month?

Is that picked after the National Day?
Thinking about it this way, if it is stored properly, there is really no problem.

"do you want?"

When the woman opened her mouth, Jiang Xue took advantage of the situation to ask the price.

"One yuan and one fifty." The woman said, "If you want more, four yuan and twenty cents a catty."

Four yuan and twenty cents a catty is not expensive, but that is the price of later generations. Now four yuan and twenty cents is enough for a worker to live frugally in the canteen of the work unit for more than half a month.

When Jiang Xue heard this, she shook her head: "It's too expensive."

"Can it be cheaper..." a little.

Before she could finish the rest of the sentence, the woman simply put her hands in her pockets and walked away.

Vaguely, Jiang Xue could still hear her disgusting complaints.

"Hillbilly!"

Jiang Xue: "???"

If it wasn't for the wrong timing and environment, Jiang Xue really wanted to take out a basket of oranges from the space and show off fiercely.

look down on who.

Being despised for a while, Jiang Xue stared at the woman for a while, and soon discovered that this woman should be a familiar hand in the black market, specializing in selling things.

Women choose to look good in clothes, whether they are carrying briefcases, luggage bags, or educated people with glasses and woolen coats, and only this type of people can afford it.

The woman carries a bundle every time, and after selling it for a round, she leaves when the bundle is deflated, and when she comes back, the bundle is bulging again.

After going back and forth like this three or four times, two men came to look for her halfway, carrying gray bags, and left after handing them over to her.

Jiang Xue was a little surprised at the beginning, but after thinking about it later, she didn't find it strange. There are policies above and countermeasures below. People are always willing to use their brains for food, drink and boats.

For example, in the countryside, there are no vouchers for farmers to buy things. If you want to buy those things, you can only trade them with people in the city.

Residents in the city are not allowed to grow and raise food. If the supply of grain stations and non-staple food stores is not enough, they will go to the countryside and buy some subsidies from farmers in the production team.

But these things come quietly. At this time, everyone has their own ideas, and a few people with good relationships will often pool money to go to the countryside to buy some agricultural and sideline products to improve food.

Jiang Xue stayed for a while, and seeing that it was almost lunch time, she left to prepare for lunch.

As soon as she left the train station, she saw another group of a dozen or so men and women with red (sleeve) badges rushing into the platform of the train station with serious faces, and then dispersed, and suddenly there was a panic inside.

Here, Jiang Xue saw the scenes of small vendors running wildly in order to avoid the urban management in later generations.

Buying and selling at this time is a very serious matter, which is equivalent to putting your head on your trouser waist. No wonder things on the black market are so expensive.

A train happened to arrive at the station, and some people took the opportunity to get on the train.

As long as the train slows down, or when the next station is approaching, they can just jump off.

And some people who couldn't make it in time were desperately digging into small alleys. Opposite the train station was a field, and some people disappeared soon after getting into the opposite field.

Even so, there were a few who ran slowly and were unlucky enough to be caught.

People were also found in alleys and alleys.

Not long after, two people with red (sleeve) badges got a cart from nowhere, and quickly rolled out a cart full of things from the alley.

Jiang Xue was stunned for a moment, thankful in her heart, fortunately I had space, fortunately I came out a few minutes earlier, otherwise, even if nothing was found on him, it would be troublesome.

Even so, Jiang Xue would not give up her plan to sell things.

No one expected that just after the black market was sorted out in the morning, some people would dare to commit crimes against the wind.

Jiang Xue is very courageous. After all, she does not say that she has experienced the end of the world, but that she started looking for small jobs everywhere when she was ten years old. Now that she is 20 years old, she is also a person with ten years of social work experience.

At this time, Jiang Xue just wanted to do the opposite.

The train station is not far from the mine, but Jiang Xue didn't plan to go to the mine, but set her sights on the mine's primary school.

It was the time for class in the afternoon, Jiang Xue came to Jiangcheng No. [-] Mine Elementary School, and waited not far away. When school was about to leave, she saw two people coming out, and her eyes lit up immediately.

I saw that the two were female teachers in their 30s and 40s. They were pushing bicycles. bag, and the other is carrying a satchel.

This women's handbag is a popular style at this time, with wooden handles, and the material of the handbag is a mixture of cotton and linen.

Just as the two slowed down and rode over from the corner, Jiang Xue strode forward.

Suddenly stopped by Jiang Xue, the two female teachers were a little puzzled.

The short-haired female teacher sized Jiang Xue up and asked, "Comrade, what do you do?"

Jiang Xue nodded quickly, and said with an embarrassed face: "I'm sorry to bother the two comrades. That's it. I want to ask for directions."

"I want to ask, where is the third mine going? My fellow townsman asked me to help bring some non-staple food. I don't know the way."

"Third Mine? Go straight, turn left, walk along the road, turn right after an intersection, and then go straight. It's less than 10 minutes away from here." The female teacher with long braids answered enthusiastically.

But the short-haired female teacher's eyes flickered when she heard what Jiang Xue said, and she asked casually, "Comrade, are you bringing something to your fellow villager?"

"That's right." Jiang Xue said with a smile: "The Chinese New Year will be in less than two months. No one knows what the supply will be for this year's festival. It's not easy for this big family."

As Jiang Xue said, she said helplessly with a tired expression on her face: "I happened to be passing by on a business trip too, so I took it with me when I had some free time."

The short-haired female teacher wanted to talk, and immediately said: "Either how to say that you are away from home, or someone in your hometown is the closest."
