Back to the era

Chapter 9
Yao Yiyi didn't have a change of clothes. When she came out of the house, besides bringing a bedding, she couldn't take out her change of clothes at all.

There are no clothes in the supermarket.

The only thing in the supermarket is really nothing other than underwear and socks.

She had to change some money and find a way to go to the cooperative to buy something she needed.

I took a small cloth bag.

Slowly walked towards the famous Heishi Bridge in the county.

Not too close.

It is also the only black market in the county.

Heishui Bridge is a relatively remote bridge in the county.

In fact, there are several bridges near the county seat, but generally speaking, there is very little water in the riverbed under the bridge at the location of the Heishui Bridge.

The location is relatively close to Guanyin Mountain near them.

Since few people come here, it is naturally the best place for people to exchange things on the black market.

When Yao Yiyi arrived, she vaguely saw that there were many people in the dark under the bridge.

Most were fully camouflaged.

The women wore scarves on their heads, and the men wore hats and masks, one by one as if they were engaged in an underground organization.

The basket in his hand was covered with a piece of cloth, and no one could tell what was in the basket.Of course, if someone passes by, the person who straddles the basket will yell softly to indicate what is in his basket.

If there is someone you like, you will stop in an instant.

The two people looked at each other as if they fell in love at first sight, they understood each other, and then left the market one after the other.

Went to a remote place and began to communicate privately.

There is absolutely no lively scene of shouting loudly here.

Even if someone yelled, they spoke softly and tenderly.

Yao Yiyi walked in slowly with a cloth bag, and someone saw her.

Taking a careful look, he probably realized that she was a stranger.

Yao Yiyi doesn't care, she has something in her hand, she just wants to see what she can get here.

With the heavy cloth bag straddling her, no one could guess what she was carrying.

Yao Yiyi wandered around and probably understood.

It can be regarded as having everything that one expects to find here. Of course, things that cannot be bought in the cooperative are still not available here.

There is no black market for in-demand commodities.

Most of them are food, drink, and soap, scented soap, and some simple daily necessities that people use more often.

But food is in short supply.

Grain is a hard currency here, because most people can’t get enough to eat. With two books on their stomachs, and 27 catties of grain per person per month, they must not have enough to eat.

At the end of the month, many people will go to the black market to quietly buy some food and go back to replenish the supplies at home.

Whether it is fine grains or coarse grains, there is a market here.

Yao Yiyi found a remote corner, after all, it was her first time here, and besides, her cloth bag was indeed not big.

Even if you can take out food, you can't take too much.

He took a small bag from it and placed it on the ground.

Flour in convenience stores is not packaged in large packages, usually five catties, ten catties, or 20 catties.

It is mainly to accommodate the small batch purchases of nearby residents.

In the era when Yao Yiyi was alive, people's lives were quite convenient, and there was no need to stockpile 50-jin or 100-jin rice and flour at home.

Especially their convenience stores are designed to meet the needs of nearby residents.

Those young people can eat five or ten catties for half a year.

Who made takeaway popular at that time, there were too many things to eat, and people had different choices.

Yao Yiyi's small pocket was put on, and before she opened it, someone asked.

"Girl, do you have rice or flour here?"

Yao Yiyi hurriedly turned around but saw a white-haired old man.

The old lady didn't wear a scarf, but she wore the most distinctive work hat of this era on her head.

The brim of the hat is pressed down very low, and the facial features cannot be seen clearly, but the voice should be that of an educated and knowledgeable old lady.

"Yes, how much do you want?"

The old lady showed joy when she heard this, but looked at the little girl with some hesitation.

How is this girl different from others?
As long as someone has goods in their hands, they can't communicate with people here so openly.

Generally speaking, they are quietly, one in front and one in back.

Like a joint, find another remote place before starting to bargain.

The old lady hesitated.

"Never mind."

Yao Yiyi was in a hurry.

"Hey, ma'am, I have rice and white noodles here, and they are the best polished rice noodles. Don't you want to take a look?"

The more enthusiastic she is, the faster the steps of the old lady's feet.

"No, no! I don't need it!"

Seeing the old lady fly away, Yao Yiyi sighed.

Disadvantage of apprenticeship.

Immediately afterwards, scattered people passed by, but most of them didn't ask questions, only occasionally someone asked, and when they heard her answer, they turned around and left.

Seeing that it was getting late, Yao Yiyi did some calculations. She had an afternoon shift today and had to go back to work early, so she probably missed lunch.

Forget it, it looks like there won't be a deal today.

Yao Yiyi put the small bag into her bag, and walked out quickly with the cloth bag on her shoulders.

After walking out of the bridge, Yao Yiyi almost couldn't open his eyes under the dazzling sunlight.

The world under the bridge and the outside world are like two worlds.

Yao Yiyi sighed, it seemed that nothing was easy to do, and she thought that with these two convenience stores, she could make a fortune right away.

Or she was thinking too much.

When she went back, she still had to eat something quickly, then tidy up and get ready to go to work.

Yao Yiyi, who was about to leave, suddenly heard someone calling her.

"Yao Yiyi!"

Yao Yiyi petrified instantly, the voice was a little too familiar, why did it sound like Deng Weiguo's voice?

Wouldn't it be so coincidental?

Turning back slowly, as expected, he saw Deng Weiguo pushing his bicycle and looking at him from a distance.

Yao Yiyi's face flushed.

Going to the black market these days is not something good people do.

In front of Deng Weiguo, she always behaved like a poor little bullied.

It doesn't look like a poor little boy now.

But since they met, they couldn't hide, after all, they would be husband and wife in the future.

Deng Weiguo saw the somewhat familiar figure in front of him from a distance, and at first he thought he was underestimated.

But when he called out that name, the moment the girl in front turned around, he knew it was definitely Yao Yiyi.

Deng Weiguo didn't care about other things these two days, except for the busy things in the factory.

That is, he has to go to the black market every day.

Suddenly, a daughter-in-law is about to be married, and the daughter-in-law's family has a sky-high price gift.

He is a big man, since he agreed, he will naturally do it.

He didn't want to embarrass Yao Yiyi, so he ran to the black market with all his strength.

It's a pity that business in the black market is not doing well recently.

It was almost the end of the month, and everyone was short of food, but there was very little food on the black market.

But the food from his old friend has also encountered problems recently and cannot be shipped.

It's like looking rich but unable to earn it.
