Chapter 158 Selling Grain and Meat

Compared with cured meat, fresh meat is definitely more nutritious.

Lu Wan plans to get a few more kilograms.

Make a braised pork and add some meat.

In the past, Su Zhenhua loved to eat her pork. But if you count the time, Su Zhenhua hasn't eaten it for a long time.

Having decided to go to the black market, the two of them washed up and went to bed early.

The next day, the two went to the county town together.

It was still early when we arrived at the county town, but even so, meat was no longer available in the grocery store.

Everything else is still there.

Lu Wan took a look and picked out a pig's stomach and two pork ribs.

Then he and Su Zhenhua went to the black market separately.

Lu Wan thought that since she was going to the black market, she might as well sell some goods and make some money.

Her parents are rich, but their money is limited.

She and Su Zhenhua will have to raise children in the future, and there will be expenses all over the place.

Lu Wan had planned to go back to Kyoto and buy a few more courtyard houses, keep them until the 21st century, and then resell them and wait for her to make a fortune.

Even if Su Zhenhua failed to make a name for himself in this life, the two of them would still be able to live a life without worries about food and clothing.

By selling several courtyard houses, the family can be guaranteed to have enough money to spend throughout their lives.

Before going to the black market, Lu Wan was very cautious. She took out a black scarf from her portable shopping mall and wrapped her entire face, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

This way, no one could see what she looked like.

Lu Wan went to the black market.

There are two black markets.

One is in East Lane and the other is at the bus station.

Lu Wan asked Su Zhenhua to go to East Lane, while she stayed at the bus station.

There are quite a few people at the bus station.

Some come here to take the bus.

Some were walking around aimlessly, as if they were shipping goods or trying to buy food.

You have to identify who the person is yourself and then talk to him to find out.

Lu Wan's eyes were fixed on a woman. She was dressed quite elegantly and was probably from the working class. He was only carrying a basket in his hand, so he probably didn't come to the bus station to take the bus.

Lu Wan walked over, and when she reached the woman, she gently asked beside her, "Sister, do you want food? Do you want meat?"

The woman was indeed planning to come to the black market to buy food and meat. When she heard Lu Wan ask this, she nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, sister, do you have any?"

"Yes, Sister 꺶, if you want, let's find a deserted place to do the transaction!"

The woman also thought so. After all, there were many people and eyes here, and food and meat were eye-catching.

If you are caught by the black market staff, it will be terrible.

The two of them left the train station together.

We arrived at an alley, and there were not many people.

The woman looked around and confirmed that there was no one around. After it was safe, she started to ask Lu Wan, "Sister, what food do you have for sale? How much is the price? And how much is the meat?"

Lu Wan quoted the price, "Both rice and flour are 40 cents a pound.

Meat is two yuan a pound, and there are no tickets. ”

Lu Wan doesn’t lack tickets for the time being, so as long as the other party gives her money, it will be fine.

In terms of price, compared with what was sold before, rice and flour are one cent more expensive per pound.

But even so, the price she offered was already considered low on the black market.

Women also frequently go to the black market and know the prices of food and meat there.

Meat is twice as expensive as in grocery stores, and grain is more than twice as expensive as in grocery stores.

When you buy things here, you definitely can't compare the prices to those in a grocery store. After all, a grocery store still requires meat and grain coupons.

If she had meat and food coupons, she would not have taken the risk of going to the black market.

The woman was a straightforward person. She thought the price was not expensive, so she said to Lu Wan, "Sister, I'll take all the meat and food you have."

Lu Wan didn't act too ostentatious. "Sister, I have two catties of rice and flour, and three catties of meat. Do you want them all?"

"Yes, I want both!"

Seeing that Lu Wan actually had so much meat and food, the woman's face was filled with smiles.

Our family is short of fine grains!

It would be better to buy more meat to take back. There are many people in the family, and if each person shares it, three pounds of meat is actually not enough.

The deal was quickly finalized.

Lu Wan gave the food and the woman readily paid.

The two were about to leave when they happened to meet someone passing by and glanced at them.

The woman had been through many battles in the black market and was experienced. Seeing someone staring at them, she immediately raised her voice to Lu Wan and said, "Cousin, you are too polite. Your family is not having an easy time. Knowing that your uncle is sick, you actually brought so many things. I am really embarrassed to accept them..."

Lu Wan was also very smart and quickly replied, "Sister-in-law, take them. These things are for my uncle to take care of his health!"

My uncle treated me like his own daughter back then, I still remember it! This little thing is nothing.

As a person, you should be grateful and repay kindness. My uncle is so sick. Would it be sensible for me not to bring some things to visit him?

This sick person needs to eat something good to help his body recover! ”

The woman pretended to be very touched and said, "Well, cousin, since you said so, I won't be polite with you. I will accept these things and use them to nourish your uncle's body!"

Everyone who had just looked at them heard the conversation between the two and did not look at them any further.

After the man walked away, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Lu Wan, "Sister, I'll go back first! You should also be careful and don't get caught."

"Yes, Sister 꺶, I know."

Just after parting with this young lady, Lu Wan hadn't walked far when she saw an old lady following her.

"Girl, wait a minute!"

Lu Wan looked at the old lady and asked, "Madam, what do you want?"

"Girl, I saw you just sold food to someone else."

When Lu Wan heard the old lady's words, her heart skipped a beat.

In this era, speculation and profiteering can be considered a crime. If the old lady reports her, the consequences will be very serious.

As if she sensed Lu Wan's nervousness, the old lady hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my girl. I have no other intentions and I don't want to report you.

I just want to ask, do you have any food here? Can you sell me some?

I haven't had rice at home for a long time.

There is a grandchild at home. It’s fine if I’m hungry, but the child is crying with hunger. My chest is bleeding…”

Lu Wan saw that the old lady looked very weak, with a pale face and thin body. It was obvious that she had not eaten enough for a long time and was malnourished.

After hesitating for a moment, seeing that the old lady didn't seem to be lying, Lu Wan nodded.

“Yeah, sure.

I don't have coarse grains here, only fine grains.

But you can buy fine grains and then exchange them for coarse grains with others! ”

In this era, coarse grains are cheaper and less scarce than fine grains.

It is easy to exchange fine grains for coarse grains.

The old lady responded, and then looked at Lu Wan with some embarrassment, "My daughter, I don't have any money. Can I exchange something else for food with you?"
