Chapter 40 Exchange
Everyone has difficult times.She has such a fat body now, although it is not what she wants.

There is also a cornucopia of abundance.Food can continue to grow, life is better than others.

"Old lady, I have eggs, but they were all boiled yesterday!"

Xu Haixia told the truth, she never wanted to deceive anyone.

"How many do you have?" The old lady's eyes lit up.

"About 22!"

There is another one in the pocket.Xu Haixia is not going to take it out.If you really run out of food in the future, just put it in a broken bowl and it will take 15 minutes to make one.

"There is also some black rice, flour and wheat bran, but I don't know how much they weigh."

When she came out, it was almost twelve catties, but Xu Haixia put the broken bowl at the bottom.As she walked, she found that the basket was getting heavier and heavier, and the carrying was getting heavier and heavier.Maybe she has more food.

"I have! I have!"

The old lady shook the cloth bag in her hand, which contained a steelyard.

She went out to buy food.

Before I could buy it, I met Xu Haixia.

"Then let's find a place without people?" Xu Haixia said something.

This is her first time doing this kind of business.I always feel that the more careful the better.

"Yeah, I know!"

The old lady was familiar with the way, and while looking for a remote place, she negotiated the price with Xu Haixia.

"Girl, coarse grains on the black market are two yuan a catty, and fine grains are about four yuan a catty. Depending on the quality, I will give you the price on the black market later. I won't take advantage of you."

black market?
Sounds like a place for secret deals.

Xu Haixia recalled that both Bian Chunlan and Xu Jiahe had mentioned this incident, but it was very cryptic.

Xu Haixia couldn't help but wonder if all the fine grains he ate were also bought from the black market?
Four or five yuan a catty of fine grains is not cheap even after decades.

Xu Haixia heard that at this age, people's wages are generally only around [-] a month.

Buy a few catties of grain, how to live?
The old lady thought for a while, and took Xu Haixia to a corner where there was no one.The little boy named Huzi stood not far away watching the wind.

After the old woman confirmed that no one saw it, she asked Xu Haixia to take it out.

Xu Haixia put the basket on the ground.

First, take the rice out of the cloth bag.

When the three sacks came out, there was still plenty of room.Now they are full and everywhere.

As soon as the old lady took out black flour, refined flour and wheat bran, her eyes lit up.

Wheat bran is a coarse grain, and black flour and flour are fine grains.

The old lady touched the flour on the surface with her hands and found that the quality was very good.There was no hiding the smile on her face.

She weighed three kinds of grains, and the wheat bran weighed four catties before Xu Haixia went out to eight catties now.

The same goes for black flour and flour.

"Look at these eggs, give them to you!" Xu Haixia said something.

Hard-boiled eggs won't last for days.She doesn't need to lie to others.

Having said that, the old lady still gave Xu Haixia four yuan and five pounds of fine grains and 22 eggs.

Coarse grains total 36 yuan, and fine grains total 72 yuan.A total of 120 yuan.

When the old lady paid, she took out a cloth bag, opened it layer by layer, and counted out 120 yuan.

This amount of money is equivalent to several months' wages of ordinary people.

But there is no way.People always have to eat.won't they be hungry
Especially at present, when even rural people cannot get food.

You can eat coarse and fine grains.what else can you choose
"Girl, thank you! If... If you still have something to eat, you can come to me next time."

The old lady said something.

"Do you still need to eat?" Xu Haixia asked.
