Carrying materials through the ages to engage in business

Chapter 6 Black Market
After ten days of autumn harvest, the team leader gave the educated youth two days off. Several educated youths made an appointment to go to the town to buy things. Although Wen Shunian didn't have anything to buy, he could also go along experience.

A few people arrived at the town in a bullock cart from the village, and they split up. Wen Shunian went to the supply and marketing cooperative to have a look, and found that there were not as many varieties and quantities as there were in Kyoto, so he bought some fruit candies and milk candies, thinking about going back The village gave sweet mouths to the children in the village. After all, the villagers helped me a lot during the autumn harvest.

Now the fruit candy costs eleven cents and the toffee costs ten and four. Wen Shunian bought the fruit candy for fifty cents and the toffee for one yuan.

In addition to the supply and marketing cooperatives, Wen Shunian thought that he would take the college entrance examination in a few years, so he went to the bookstore to buy paper and pens, as well as some books from this era. On the way out, Wen Shunian bought a popsicle for two cents, and Walking aimlessly like this.Walking and walking around a corner, I heard two voices talking.

"This is rice that I have just harvested, and it costs fifty cents a catty no matter what."

"The supply and marketing cooperative is only [-] cents. It's too expensive for you. Less."

"Auntie, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it. Besides, I don't want food stamps here, so don't buy them if you think it's too expensive."

"Hey, hey, I didn't say I wouldn't buy it. I said you have a bad temper. What's the matter? You don't like bargaining. Give me 30 catties."

"Well, I'll charge you 30 yuan for 15 catties, take it."

When Wen Shunian heard this, he knew that he was now in the black market that the aunts in the village called, but the supply of food in the town was in short supply, and many people could only buy what they needed through private transactions, thinking about the tens of thousands of catties of rice flour and eggs in their own space, Wen Shunian felt that he needed to earn some pocket money. Although he had a lot of money, who would think that he had too much money? Besides, he would have to study and work in the future, and he planned to buy some real estate. He needed money for everything.

Wen Shunian found a place where no one was around, entered the space, and put on a make-up for himself. His face was darkened with thick and thick eyebrows, and he painted a lot of freckles on his face. The women's clothes of the era took a back basket and left the space. While watching the situation of the people around them, they listened carefully.

I probably figured out the current prices on the black market. For example, the flour in the space is similar to Fuqiang powder in this era, but it is whiter than Fuqiang powder. Five, fifty cents a catty here, seven cents an egg, fifteen cents in the black market, basically double the usual amount.

Wen Shunian saw a child squatting in the corner, holding a small notebook in his hand, looking around at passers-by, Wen Shunian walked over, "Little comrade, what are you selling?"

Xu Shi saw that Wen Shunian was a woman and gentle, "stamp."

"Little comrade, can I take a look?" Wen Shunian knows that some stamps will be very valuable in the future. After all, Dad Wen bought a lot of stamps back home, and every time he has to drag Wen Shunian to say the last time. Every time Wen's father said that grandma would be beside him, he would sigh with emotion what they experienced in that era, how difficult it was.

The little boy handed the book to Wen Shunian, and Wen Shunian opened the first page, which was Qing Dalong stamps, the second page was the stamps of the early Republic of China and the Liberated Areas, the third page was the most famous national lands and rivers, and the fourth page There are postage stamps on the first page, and numbered stamps on the back, and there are many, many stamps that Wen Shunian can't recognize, all he knows is that the ones he found in the front will be very valuable in the future.

"Are you going to sell these? How much?"

"My grandpa is sick. The doctor said that grandpa needs to eat some fine grains. His greatest hobby is to collect these things. Auntie, let's see how much you pay. Anyway, people can't get enough to eat now, so it's useless to take these things .”

Hearing the child call him aunt, Wen Shunian almost vomited blood. My old lady, a beautiful girl with yellow flowers, will be called aunt one day, but she still told him gently.

"Little comrade, I also like to collect these stamps, and I am like-minded with your grandfather. I like these stamps of your grandfather very much. How about this? I will give you 50 catties of rice, 50 catties of flour and 50 eggs, and I will give you 50 catties. What do you think of the yuan?" Wen Shunian felt that the value of these stamps would be great in the future.

But in the current era when there is not enough food and clothing, it can be said that it has no effect. Although Wen Shunian gave a lot of things, the main reason is to let the father and son eat more to maintain their health.

"Auntie, is it true, is it true?" The child asked Wen Shunian excitedly, and couldn't believe it.

"Really, let's do this. It's not easy for you to take so many things. Tell me where to send them to you. I'll send them to you. When the time comes, you will pay for them and deliver them."

"Okay." The little boy told Wen Shunian and went home first. Wen Shunian wandered outside for a while and then went to the address the little boy said. It was in a small alley. Nian took the things out of the space and put them at the door before knocking on the door.

Soon the little boy helped Wen Shunian put the things back home, gave Wen Shunian the small book, kept saying thank you to Wen Shunian, and even kowtowed to Wen Shunian, who was so frightened by Wen Shunian Hurry up and grab the kid.

"I delivered the things, I should go too, you take care of yourself and your grandfather, goodbye." After saying that, Wen Shunian went out, and put the stamps into the space when no one was around, and it was almost noon , I was hungry too, so I went to the restaurant to eat, and when I entered the door, I saw a small blackboard with today's supply written on it, so I went to the window and ordered a peach blossom noodles, a bowl of three cents plus three taels of food stamps.

It was served soon. It was a big bowl. The noodles were nearly half a foot of knife-pulled noodles, equivalent to half a catty of noodles in later generations. There was a piece of roast meat, two balls and soup base on it. Wen Shunian ate two After two or so days, I couldn’t eat any more, and I didn’t dare to keep it, so I had to take out an aluminum box from the back basket to pack the rest.

After lunch, Wen Shunian went to the black market again, repeatedly, one after another, in one afternoon he sold a thousand catties of rice, five hundred catties of flour, and a thousand eggs, and also sold a hundred catties of brown sugar , Calculated in one afternoon, I earned 150 yuan, and there are some bills, what a goddamn Ba Shi, Wen Shunian glanced at his watch, it was almost five o'clock, and he agreed to gather at five o'clock, and hurriedly took the money bills After entering the space, I ran to the gathering place, and when I arrived, I saw that everyone except Liu Zhifeng was there.

"Shu Nian, why are you carrying a pannier?" Xiao Juan looked puzzled.

"Oh, I just bought one when I saw someone selling it. I thought it would be convenient to go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms and wild vegetables." Wen Shunian took a few toffees from the back basket and shared them. Give each of them one, and got another wave of thanks, then Xiao Juan gave everyone a piece of maltose, and Guo Xinyue gave everyone a handful of melon seeds, which made the two male educated youth thieves who didn't buy anything feel embarrassed, and waited for Liu Zhifeng to come Everyone hurriedly made an ox cart and went home.

　It is said that peach blossom noodles are a kind of particularly delicious noodles, have you tried them~
