Chapter 97
After dinner, on the way back to the guest house, Jiang Xue took the opportunity to say: "Godmother, you are tired enough after a day's train ride. Tomorrow you will rest at the guest house in the morning, and I will go out to do some errands."
"I'll try my best to come back to have dinner with you guys. If I come back late, then don't wait for me, and take Dabao to the state-run restaurant for dinner."
With that said, Jiang Xue took out five yuan and two catties of national food stamps from her pocket and handed them over.
At this moment, she was grateful to Lu Yan again in her heart, otherwise, she would have no way to use the food stamps from Jiangcheng City.
Aunt Jiang refused without even thinking about it: "You just go to work, don't you still have the dry food you brought, I will deal with Sanwa tomorrow and eat."
Don't look at her being generous on the train, and she didn't show it in the state-run restaurant just now, but Mrs. Jiang is guilty.
She is just an old woman in the country, and she has never seen much of the world. This is her first time to take a train, and it is also her first time to eat in a state-run restaurant.
If it hadn't been for following Jiang Xue, looking at her generously, holding the idea of not embarrassing Jiang Xue, Jiang Auntie stood up straight, and didn't look at the guest house indiscriminately, and didn't hack at the state-run restaurant. It's time to show the appearance of a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.
Jiang Dabao looked around, but he was a child, so it didn't matter.
"Take it too."
Jiang Xue couldn't help but put it into Aunt Jiang's hand, and said, "Godmother, it's just for you to protect yourself, in case there is anything you need."
Aunt Jiang knew Jiang Xue's temper, and seeing her like this, she didn't say anything, anyway, it was up to her to decide.
In fact, not to mention Aunt Jiang, but Jiang Xue, she has been traveling for almost two months, and this is the first time she has stayed in a guest house.
Lying on the bed, covered with the quilt she took out from the space, Jiang Xue let out a long sigh of relief, it felt really good.
Holding the proof that he can buy a train ticket and live in a hostel, Jiang Xue couldn't help but want to thank Lu Yan, thanks to him!
When he was in the state-run restaurant, Jiang Xue heard the drinking workers talking about buying food subsidies for their families.
Seriously buying grain is done at the grain station. Since it is a subsidy, it can only be replaced from the black market or from the farmers in the countryside.
But the New Year is just before the end of the year, and the next step is spring plowing, and there are still four months until the harvest. When the grain is not harvested, the peasant brothers dare not sell the grain in their hands, unless there is something unavoidable and they can’t take care of it. Think about the days ahead.
Jiang Xue has endured in Jiangcheng City for a while, no, now that she came to Qingzhou City, and seeing that the money in her hand has dropped a lot recently, she started to feel like making a move.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. Qingzhou City is so big, and she doesn't live in Qingzhou City. She sells a little at the end of the year. When others find out that they want to do something, she has already slipped away with her godmother and the others.
No one would think of people who spend [-] cents to live in a hostel to sell things on the black market.
As soon as the sun was shining, the sound of cleaners sweeping came from the street, Jiang Xue packed up the quilt and threw it in the space, took out another breakfast and ate it, and then left the room.
Influenced by her previous part-time job, Jiang Xue was proficient and cautious in doing business.
After leaving the house, she first went to a state-run restaurant and bought two servings of soy milk for two cents, and then bought three fried dough sticks for six cents for food stamps.
After sending the breakfast back, Jiang Xue told Jiang Dabao not to leave the guest house too far, and then turned to go to the department store.
After walking around the department store twice, Jiang Xue went straight to the public toilet after getting an idea of the things here.
Taking advantage of working time in the morning, there was no one at this spot, so after changing her clothes, she went to the address of the black market that she vaguely heard in the restaurant yesterday.
There are two black markets in the east of the city and west of the city in Qingzhou City. Jiang Xue made a temporary decision, of course, to go to the nearby black market in the east of the city.
I don't know if there is anyone.
She just muttered, then fumbled to the place, and immediately closed her mouth.
Not only people, but many.
If Jiang Xue hadn't observed it for sure, she would have thought it was a market.
Is the black market in Qingzhou so lively?
In fact, it wasn't too lively, but everyone looked generous. Although they still talked in low voices and then traded, there was no nervous look on their faces.
I was puzzled, but Jiang Xue didn't hesitate, after all, it's too early to be too late.
This time, Jiang Xue no longer waited for someone to come to the door, but wandered around like walking with a basket.
She focused on people pushing bicycles with cloth bags tucked behind the frame, or people with baskets hanging from their heads.
The first condition for doing business is to look at the economic strength of the seller.
The conditions in Qingzhou City are good, but in terms of food, it is similar to that in Jiangcheng City. The grain station supplies cornmeal and sorghum rice and dried sweet potatoes, and rice and white flour are only available a few times a year.
Everyone likes to keep food stamps, and those who have no money are willing to buy half a catty of fine grains to improve their meals, so there are not many food stamps that Jiang Xue can exchange.
However, she got more than 100 catties of food stamps in one morning, and earned more than 600 yuan in money.
Jiang Xue was very happy to earn two years' salary of an ordinary worker in one morning.
"Comrade, how do you sell these noodles?"
Jiang Xue: "Three yuan and five catties, if you take food stamps, you will be charged two yuan for eight taels of food stamps."
She planned to withdraw after selling the ten catties of noodles in the basket, so the price was much lower than at the beginning.
The eyes of the lesbian who asked the question brightened, but when she thought that she didn’t bring much money, she hurriedly said: “How much money do you have? I don’t have much money, and the food stamps are only two catties. Me, I'm going home to get the money."
"Then you can buy two catties." Jiang Xue is not stupid, she waits here, just in case she tricks herself.
The lesbian probably also knows Jiang Xue's concerns, but she finally came across such good noodles, and she couldn't bear to miss it.
Her man had just had an operation, and he was weak and needed fine food to replenish his body. Recently, she has been visiting the black market whenever she has time, but she has never met him.
"Comrade, don't worry, I'm not a bad person. My wife has undergone surgery and needs to eat softer noodles. I'm really, I'm really..." The lesbian explained anxiously.
Seeing that Jiang Xue didn't say anything, the lesbian broke her heart, took out a ticket from her cotton wallet, and handed it to Jiang Xue.
"Otherwise, otherwise, do you think it's good? I'll give you this sewing machine coupon, and you'll wait here for me. I'll be back in half an hour."
Sewing machine coupons?
The corner of Jiang Xue's mouth twitched, I don't know how to use this thing.
But she glanced at the other tickets in the hands of the lesbians, saw the word bicycle, and pointed with her little finger: "I don't want a sewing machine, please give me a bicycle ticket."
Bicycles are the main means of transportation for the family at this time, and she can't do everything with her legs.
As for the bus, it was too wobbly. Jiang Xue had been on it twice. She didn't get motion sickness, but someone in the bus vomited. The smell...
