Chapter 12 Speculation

It’s okay for adults to eat coarse grains, but children have weak stomachs and how can they tolerate eating coarse grains all the time?

The woman hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, can you buy some for me? As you can see, I have a child at home, and I want to buy some fine grains for him."

"Okay," Deng Qingling said as she opened the bag a little so that she could see the things inside clearly. She had weighed and packed these things in the space before.

The woman had never seen noodles, rice, or flour this white before! She stared at them without blinking, her tone filled with excitement and surprise: "Fuqiang flour? How much are these?"

Deng Qingling had inquired before coming here, and found out that rice flour now costs 70-80 cents per pound, and it's not of very good quality. It's not as white as hers, and it costs 1.2 yuan on the black market.

"Rice, flour, and noodles are 1.3 yuan per pound with tickets, and 1.8 yuan per pound without tickets." Deng Qingling didn't ask for more. After all, what she had was better than the ones on the black market, so she asked for 1 cent more.

"It's so expensive..." The woman frowned. If she wanted it, it was a little too expensive. If she didn't want it, she couldn't buy food on the black market even if she had money. The harvest in the countryside was not good, and the amount of food handed over was limited. People in the countryside were digging wild vegetables to eat, so they couldn't buy food even if they wanted to.

It's so hard to find a way to buy food. Although it's a bit expensive, what if... The woman thought for a while and decided to buy it. She gritted her teeth and said, "I want everything. As much as you can give me, I'll take it all."

Deng Qingling handed her five bundles of noodles. After all, each bundle weighed one jin (100 grams) of flour, five jin of rice, and three white-striped chickens. She couldn't give them all away; it was supposed to be a visit to relatives, so she had to leave more to be presentable.

The woman took out a scale and weighed it. There was nothing missing, and there was even about one or two more. She smiled from ear to ear, thinking that this was a good man who knew how to behave, and she was very satisfied.

The woman gave her the money and said, "Sister, I usually stay at home to take care of the children. If you need food or other things next time, please come to me."

Deng Qingling nodded. She felt that this was too risky and she didn't plan to come here again next time. However, there was no need to tell her this.

The town is so small, how is it possible to sell it here for a long time? And if you get caught, you will have to eat peanuts. This is no joke.

What if I meet someone with bad intentions again and report him? Wouldn’t that be the end of it?

She didn't want anything to happen after just a few days, so she had to be more careful.

Deng Qingling sold things for the whole morning and hid in a small alley. Seeing that there was no one around, she took the opportunity to enter the space and checked the time. It was almost time, so she ate some fruits and drank a glass of milk inside.

A lot of food coupons were exchanged this morning. If you don’t have food coupons, you can exchange them for other coupons or add a little more money.

This morning, I sold 20 kilograms of noodles, 30 kilograms of white flour, 50 kilograms of rice, and 100 kilograms of cornmeal and sweet potatoes and taro. I also sold a few chickens, ducks and eggs.

At this time, people still mainly fill their stomachs with coarse grains, and few people buy fine grains. Generally, only those who have pregnant women or children at home will buy some to supplement their nutrition.

He took a few things back on the surface, and only after Deng Qingling returned home did he enter the space and start to settle the pile of red and green money and bills.

It took half an hour for Deng Qingling to finish the calculation. The total was 285.65 yuan, more than 30 kilograms of food coupons, 13 industrial coupons, and 6 feet of cloth coupons.
