The people who came here all had good eyesight and could tell at once. After a while, an older sister came over and quietly asked, "How much do you sell this rice, sister?"

Lu Xia lowered his voice and said: "50 cents a pound"

"What? 50 cents a pound?! Why don't you go and rob? The supply and marketing cooperative only charges a little over 10 cents, and the black market only charges a little over 20 cents. You've doubled your money in a flash!"

Seeing her excitement, Lu Xia was very calm. She felt distressed in her heart. This rice was grown with spiritual spring water. Asking for fifty cents was almost giving it away for free. If it wasn't for the profit, she would not have been willing to sell it.

Although the eldest sister was concerned about the black market, her voice was not loud, but it was not small either. She saw many people around her gathered around after hearing the noise, and some were also surprised when they heard the price, and quietly helped to bargain.

However, Lu Xia remained unmoved and said, "This is premium refined rice, which has high nutritional value, especially for the elderly and children. It is good for their health."

But the elder sister didn't believe her at all, "Everyone has eaten rice, but I've never heard that eating rice can nourish the body. You are asking for an exorbitant price!"

Lu Xia was speechless. "It's your business whether you don't know or not, but my rice is indeed good rice."

As she spoke, she opened the rice bag a little so that everyone could see more clearly.

"My rice is carefully grown in good mountains and waters. It's much better than ordinary refined rice. It doesn't require tickets, and there aren't many of them. The price is not high. If it weren't for the money, I wouldn't be willing to sell it."

...

...

When the others heard this, they came closer to look.

Upon taking a look, they found that this rice looked much better than refined rice. Refined rice was more than 30 cents per pound on the black market and had no price, so many people present were tempted.

The elder sister knew that her rice was good, otherwise she wouldn't have asked the price.

Her son is a picky eater and won't eat whole grains. Fortunately, she and her husband both have jobs and can afford to support him. However, the monthly quota for fine grains is too little, so they have no choice but to secretly buy it on the black market.

She fell in love with the rice sold by Lu Xia at first sight, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive. She wanted to give up, but when she smelled the fragrance of the rice, she inexplicably felt that her son would definitely like it. Now seeing that other people also wanted to buy it, she finally couldn't help it.

"Even if your rice is good, it can't be so expensive. How about you make it cheaper, 40 cents, 40 cents per pound and I'll buy it."

But no matter what she said, Lu Xia remained unmoved, "No, just 50 cents. If I can't sell it, I won't sell it."

Hearing her being so firm, everyone knew that what she said was true, which further proved that her rice was indeed worth the price, otherwise why would she rather not sell it than lower the price.

So many people wanted to buy it.

Most of the people who can come to the black market to buy things have extra money at home, and they come here to buy things to improve their living conditions, so even though 50 cents a pound is expensive, they can still afford it.

Soon, Lu Xia sold 40 kilograms. Seeing that there were only 10 kilograms left, the eldest sister couldn't help it anymore and said, "Sister, that's enough. Sell the rest to me. I'll go back and try them. If they taste good, I'll come back to buy more."

Lu Xia smiled and said nothing. He sold the last ten kilograms to her and then left the black market directly.

This time she only sold 50 kilograms and earned 25 yuan. Although it was not much, after knowing the prices, she was already very satisfied. She was just testing the waters.

I plan to bring another bag to try later.

However, before she could walk out of the black market, the sentry stopped her.

"Big sister, do you have any more of the rice you sold?"
