With a Door In Mind

Chapter 34, into the black market

Inquire about the way

He drove over by car.

Pedestrians along the way were laughing at his cycling movements, making Jiang Xiaochuan embarrassed.

Isn't it just short legs?

The point is, I'm only eleven years old...

When I came to the place, it was an alley with a relatively remote location but extending in all directions.

That's right, if people come to this kind of place, it's easy to run.

Probably because of the afternoon, there are not many people shopping here.

There are a lot of people selling things. In the distance of more than 100 meters, there are more than 20.

The people here saw that someone was coming, and no group of people moved up. Each in their own booth.

Jiang Xiaochuan stopped and walked, and what surprised him was that there was nothing in the booth. Only there was a basket next to it, and the basket was covered. Can't see what's inside.

After wandering around for a while, he realized...

There was a man holding an ear of wheat without grains in his hand, which was supposed to be harvesting or selling grain.

There was a person with chicken feathers in his hand, who should be selling chickens, or eggs.

There was a man with a fish scale in his hand, which was supposed to sell fish.

Seeing Jiang Xiaochuan burst into shame,

"It's the same as the underground workers."

This is the experience of many years of struggle between the masses and the devils.

It seems that the old line is not lost.

He was very surprised, "Isn't this fish smelly on such a hot day? Although it's late September, it's still very hot."

After thinking about it for a while, he walked towards a middle-aged man in his forties. This man was the one who had ears of wheat in his hand before. See if it's what he guessed.

Jiang Xiaochuan squatted on the ground and said, "Uncle, do you have any food?"

The other party didn't speak, just looked at him with all his thoughts.

Jiang Xiaochuan was surprised when he saw the other person's eyes, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

The two didn't speak, just looked at each other.

Finally, when Jiang Xiaochuan was impatient, the other party said, "Aren't you a local?"

Jiang Xiaochuan's heart skipped a beat, but his face was still calm: "Yeah? What's wrong? Do you have to be a local person to buy it?"

"Where? How did it come?"

Jiang Xiaochuan named his county seat.

The other party then said, "The local people know that we harvest grain in this place. We buy grain in another place. And the time is not right. We buy things in the early morning, and dawn is the boundary. Otherwise, you think we dare to sit so blatantly. here?"

Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned for a moment: "What if you are in a hurry to use it?"

"Usually the other party will say it directly. Then say the quantity and location, and agree on the transaction."

Jiang Xiaochuan was stunned and exclaimed in his heart: "This is the most vivid display of underground work."

I'm just buying some food, so what?

Also...at least so they can avoid the risk. Although in his opinion there are still a lot of loopholes.

Seeing this, the stall owner laughed and said, "Since you are not a local, I will make an exception for you. What food do you want? How much?"

When Jiang Xiaochuan heard the other party's words, he reacted and regarded him as a fat sheep...

He was about to look at it and say, "Sweet potatoes, cornmeal, and rice. How much do you have? What's the price?"

The other party's eyes lit up when he heard it, and his tone was so big. Is this a big business? : "Sweet potatoes are 2 cents and 6 cents a pound, corn flour is 1 cents and 5 cents a catty, and rice is 3 cents"

Jiang Xiaochuan took a deep breath...

So expensive!

Do you really think of him as a fat sheep? Don't underestimate just a few cents. But this price is more than twice as expensive as in my own village.

"You are too expensive..."

The stall owner was a little angry when he heard Jiang Xiaochuan's words: "Now in the market, rice is 1.5 cents per pound. Does it cost 3 cents to count the food stamps?"

After Jiang Xiaochuan heard it, he calculated in his heart,

Not really expensive. After all, this is the provincial capital, and prices are still a bit high.

Moreover, it is even more difficult to buy food in rural areas.

Jiang Xiaochuan thought that the rural areas where grain is grown today are still more hungry than the urban areas. This is the tragedy of this era.

He also has no ability to change anything.

After calculating, I still have more than 120 yuan in my hand, so I decided to buy rice. There will be no shortage of flour later.

He asked calmly, "200 catties of rice, and 300 catties of corn flour. Are there any?"

This is not a small number.

The other party pondered for a while, then shook his head:

"Rice is no problem, 300 catties are available.

But the cornmeal is only 200 pounds.

No more sweet potatoes.

But there are also 200 pounds of white noodles. Do you want white noodles? It's also 3 cents a pound. "

During this time, the food at home is almost out of stock. Therefore, there are more people who buy coarse grains and fewer people who buy fine grains. Replace the refined grains with sweet potatoes, and one pound can be exchanged for 6 pounds.

This can barely hold out until after the autumn harvest.

Jiang Xiaochuan has been looking at the other party's expression, seeing that the other party doesn't seem to be trying to trick him.

It seems that I have misunderstood before.

Wouldn't it be too sensational to think about bringing so many things with you? Don't worry about it, just buy it.

"No, then you can prepare 200 catties of rice and 200 catties of cornmeal for me. How to trade?"

When he saw Jiang Xiaochuan, the stall owner immediately smiled:

"Tomorrow morning, go to the morning market. Go and ask about Hou San, others will tell you.

You must come. You must know that the consequences of cheating are quite serious. "Then he gave him an address with a fierce look on his face.

He didn't care either, and hoped that they wouldn't do stupid things tomorrow, or who would be serious by then.

But in order to show his sincerity, he took out a dollar and handed it to him, and said with a smile,

"Okay, you don't have to scare me, you know that I'm not a local, so what can you do if I don't go?

You take this dollar first. If I don't go there, the money is not a low cost as hard work, right?

But hopefully nothing unpleasant will happen tomorrow.

Oh...my surname is Jiang...you can just call me Xiaojiang. "

Finally, don't forget to warn the other party, I believe the other party can understand!

Seeing that Jiang Xiaochuan was so straightforward, Hou San also sighed inwardly when he gave back a dollar.

"Little comrade is so arrogant, then I'll take the money. You can also inquire about me, Housan, nearby. We are also people who do business safely. Peace of mind makes money."

Jiang Xiaochuan smiled indifferently: "Hope it!"

Thinking that I still have some things I can't buy without a ticket. Why don't you buy a ticket now.

So he asked, "Is there any place to sell tickets here? I want to buy counting tickets."

The big business was negotiated, and Hou San was also very happy, he pointed to a fat middle-aged uncle in the corner and said, "Hey... that's the one, he has the most complete ticket sales in the entire provincial capital. Most of them have it. Your name is It's enough for him to be a fat man."

After thanking him, he followed the directions to the fat man's booth.

"Hello, Hou San asked me to come and buy tickets."

Seeing the age of the other party, Jiang Xiaochuan was embarrassed to call him Fatty Wang.

When Fatty Wang heard Jiang Xiaochuan's words, he frowned and said, "Monkey San is not afraid of breaking the rules."

But he still asked, "Since he said hello, what tickets do you want?"
