Portable space in the 60s

Chapter 30
Tang Bao swallowed subconsciously when he heard "pork", and then realized that the girl in front of him was not a simple person.

Even though she was dressed in tatters, her sun-tanned skin had a healthy glow, but she wore a pair of round-toed leather shoes, which made her ragged clothes look too deliberate.

Tang Mingyuan looked around cautiously, and asked in a low voice, "How do you sell it?"

The girl saw that their father and daughter were neatly dressed, so she came to greet them with a smile: "Wild pork is one yuan and one dime a catty, and there is some lean meat from domestic pig hind legs, which is cheaper. It only costs one yuan and six cents a catty, no ticket required. "

Tang Mingyuan still followed, bought three yuan worth of meat, and prepared to make dumplings. The family hadn't seen meat for a long time these days.

The black market here is obviously more lively than before, with everything to eat, drink and use. It is estimated that the complete range of things can be compared with the supply and marketing cooperatives. Of course, the ones here must be more expensive.

Furthermore, the place here is so big that the sellers don't get together.

Tang Bao couldn't resist the temptation to buy a stewed pheasant, some dried kelp, dried shrimp, etc., before he was ready to go back.

There were not many trees behind the hillside, so as soon as the sun came out and walked around, Tang Mingyuan saw his daughter was sweating, so he asked her to wait for him under the tree, and went to see why Yang Zheng hadn't come yet.

Tang Bao sat under the shade of the tree without any scruples, with a bamboo basket in front of him. In order to prevent Yang Zheng from becoming suspicious, he specially put dried kelp, dried shrimps, two catties of rice and two catties of pork, which did not account for the weight. There is a marinated pheasant, and I look at the fat and thin pork with extremely hungry eyes, imagining that I am already eating braised pork...

Just thinking about it made her drool almost flow out.

Poor memory, I used to eat fish, shrimp and seafood in order to lose weight and get high. I didn't want to touch meat.

God, I was wrong, if I can fill my space with meat, I will cherish the opportunity to eat meat, and I will never be picky about fat.

"Girl, how do you sell this meat?" An old lady with a sallow, thin face and gray hair in a blue smock came over and squatted in front of her, her somewhat cloudy eyes almost stuck to the meat.

Tang Bao looked at his posture, which was similar to someone who came to sell things on the black market. He raised his head and smiled at the old lady: "Ma'am, I just bought it, and I don't want to sell it."

"Girl, can you sell me a little?" The old lady asked bluntly, and when she saw her shaking her head apologetically, she pleaded bitterly: "My old man is dying, so I just want to give him a good meal, but today The pork is all sold out..."

Tang Bao couldn't bear it when he heard this. Although he hadn't eaten meat for ten days, some of his family could eat eggs almost every day, so he nodded in agreement: "Ma'am, meat costs three yuan."

The old lady took out an old handkerchief from her pocket, but inside it was only a dime or two and a delicate, transparent, pure, plain shape, thick material, and no cracks.

She looked at her expectantly: "Girl, this is the dowry I hid, the mutton fat jade bracelet, can I exchange meat with you?"

In the past few years, grain was more precious than gold and jade.

Food can satisfy one's hunger and keep one's life alive, but gold and jade cannot.

At that time, when eating big pot meals in collective cafeterias, each person only had two taels of coarse grains on average.

The collective canteen has been disbanded in the past few years, but the food they eat is still very precious. Most people are afraid of hunger. Even if there is food, they hide it. The soup is full of water, and they are reluctant to eat rice and white rice. Steamed bun.

On the contrary, this gold and jade are worthless, especially this jade, which is cheaper than gold.

Tang Bao felt that it was too expensive. Judging by the fineness of this jade, it would definitely be worth 10,000+ or ​​a million in a few years.

After all, my luck has never been so good. It is impossible for God to look at me differently all of a sudden. Instead, I wonder if this old lady is a trustee of the defense team.

Although Tang Bao was very envious of this good thing, he still subconsciously refused: "No..."

The old lady thought she thought it was not worth it, after all, no one dares to wear this thing now, so she hurriedly said: "Girl, it's true, I was reluctant to sell it when I was given five yuan earlier, my son didn't send any money back this month. I’ve run out of money to see a doctor again, can you help me change it?”

At this moment, Tang Mingyuan saw his daughter talking to Zai Ren, so he hurried over and looked at them suspiciously.

Tang Bao hurriedly explained what had happened, and looked at his father with bright almond eyes, his beauty was extraordinarily dazzling, and hesitantly asked: "...isn't that good?"

But Tang Mingyuan knew his daughter too well. Looking at her, he knew that she liked the bracelet very much, but he was afraid of taking advantage of others, so he nodded and said, "Then change it! It's not easy for everyone, so you can give aunt two more catties." Rice."

Su Su once wanted to exchange gold bars for money, but her daughter refused to agree. She kept saying that it would be worth money in a few years, and now the family can live well, so Su Su didn't insist.

They also knew their daughter's love for things like gold jewelry.

When Tang Bao heard what his father said, he immediately accepted the mutton fat jade bracelet with peace of mind. Anyway, even if he didn't take advantage of it, the old lady has no money in her hand now, and she would have to exchange for the bracelet if she went to other places.

The old lady watched her give herself the rice and meat, and quickly took out a cloth bag to pack it in. Her eyes were red with excitement, and she couldn't help but thank you: "Thank you, I'm going out to meet a nobleman today."

Although Tang Bao understood the current situation, he still felt that he had taken advantage of it. He rolled his almond eyes and said, "Ma'am, my father is a doctor of Chinese medicine. Why don't you let him go and see you?"

The old lady shed tears of joy now: "I really met a nobleman today..."

After finishing speaking, she quickly took the lead and walked out. No matter what, she still hoped that her old man could live a few more years.

Tang Bao followed for a few steps, only to remember that Yang Zheng hadn't come yet, so he quickly stopped: "Father, we forgot about Yang Zheng!"

"He still has something to do, and he will go back by himself later." Tang Mingyuan thought that this kid was young, but he had a lot of eyes. He had a sweet mouth and a good temper. He talked with people he knew. I heard that there were a few people who wanted to meet again outside. Get a black market.

It is only in this age that we can get enough food and clothing. Many diseases are caused by starvation in the past two years. After Tang Mingyuan saw the old man, he was sure that it was gastritis caused by long-term hunger, coupled with malnutrition and anemia. After careful consideration, he prescribed a doctor. The common prescriptions use Huoxiang, Hawthorn, Yuanhu, Gallus neijin, Amomum and other invaluable medicinal materials, and then leave after the two old people thanked each other repeatedly.

At this time, it was past eleven o'clock. Fortunately, it was not far from the state-run hotel that we had made an appointment with. Tang Bao was sitting on the back of the bicycle, thinking that the dumplings he had been thinking about could not be eaten, and he was very listless.

"Hey, what a fool, it's so easy for you to want to eat meat!"
