Transmigrating to the 60s: I Have a Capital Hukou

Jian Shu obtained a spatial dimension. Having read countless novels, she immediately hoarded supplies, preparing for transmigration or the apocalypse.

A few years later, Jian Shu had already ...

Chapter 22 Black Market

Jianshu found a small alley, changed his clothes, and disguised himself as a thin boy.

Fortunately, men are generally stronger than women, so it is not too incongruous for Jianshu to do it this way. As for the voice, it is normal for teenagers to have an androgynous voice, so just lower your voice slightly.

She took out some more supplies from the space. After the recent transactions, she found that food was actually easier to sell. The purchase volume of brown sugar and other items was not large. Unless there was a pregnant woman at home, no one would buy them specifically.

After all, grains can fill your stomach, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t drink brown sugar.

I took out 30 kilograms of rice, 30 kilograms of flour, 5 kilograms of pork, and 5 kilograms of eggs. Fortunately, most people now have to work and are strong, so it was not too conspicuous.

Rice and flour are all packed in five pounds, and pork and flour are divided into pounds. I didn't prepare everything well in the family compound before, so I had to borrow a scale from the old lady to weigh them.

This time, I prepared in advance with experience. Selling rice and flour separately wastes time and bags, which are also very valuable.

Entering the black market, it is inside an alley. The alleys here are interconnected, so if someone really comes to catch you, it will be easier to escape. It is a good place.

Jianshu found a secluded place and put the backpack on the ground.

After a while, an older woman with no patches on her clothes came over and asked in a low voice, "Little brother, what do you have here?"

Jian Shu lowered his voice and replied, "Auntie, I have rice, flour, eggs, and pork."

When she heard about the fine grains, eggs, and pork, the aunt's eyes lit up and she said, "Little brother, you are not kidding me, are you? Fine grains are hard to come by these days, let alone eggs and pork."

Jian Shu took off the covering on the backpack, revealing the contents. "Auntie, you can take a look and check the goods. These are all top-quality fine-grain pork, better than the ordinary ones in the grain and oil shops."

My aunt looked at the things in the bag. They were indeed of high quality, much better than what I had bought at the grain and oil store or on the black market before. So she asked, "How do you sell these? How much are they?"

Jianshu planned to sell it directly at the previous price. Although it was a little lower than the price on the black market, it could be sold faster. Besides, there were a lot of things in the space, so there was no need to deduct a single cent.

The prices on the black market are really high. Although Jianshu won’t be so saintly as to give things away for free, there is no need to be too unscrupulous. The prices can be slightly lowered.

"Rice is 30 cents a pound; flour is 28 cents a pound; eggs are 1.30 yuan a pound; pork is 1.70 yuan a pound, and no tickets are required. But I have them all packed. Rice and flour are sold in bags of five pounds each, and pork and eggs are sold in bags of one pound each."

The aunt thought about it and decided that although they were a bit expensive, these were top-quality goods and were still more cost-effective than other items sold. Her family could afford them anyway, and these things were hard to come by, so she decided to buy more.

He said readily, "Give me ten pounds of rice, five pounds of flour, two pounds of pork, and one pound of eggs."

I paid nine yuan and ten cents and gave Jianshu a bag to put the food in. These days everyone brings their own bags; it's not customary to have bags given away.

Cloth bags and sacks are treasures and very important.

Jianshu poured the food into the bag and handed everything to the aunt. The aunt took it, weighed it in her hand, and nodded.

These days people live frugally and are very careful about weight.

Perhaps it was a good start, and after a while, many more people came.

The things on Jianshu are good and the prices are reasonable. You want five kilograms of rice, and he wants two kilograms of eggs. In no time, everything they bring is sold out.

After selling everything, I didn't stay long. I packed up and prepared to leave.

When he walked to a remote place, he found someone following him, so he quickly quickened his pace, turned into an intersection and hid in the space.

A thin man chased after him, "Damn, this guy runs really fast, don't let me meet him next time."

After saying that, he left. Jianshu was worried that it was a scam, but since there was nothing urgent, he was not in a hurry to leave.

It’s time for lunch. I’ve been running all morning and have long digested the big bowl of noodles I had in the morning.

I went to the field to pick some tomatoes, green peppers, and carrots, took out a piece of meat and a few eggs, added soaked black fungus, and made fish-flavored shredded pork and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and also steamed a pot of rice.

These two dishes are both great with rice, and the soup is perfect with rice.

Jianshu ate two full bowls of rice and finished all the dishes.

After eating and drinking, she touched her stomach and felt that she had gained weight, not knowing whether it was an illusion.

I can't go on like this. It would be bad if I became fat. I need to exercise more.

Seeing that there were not many people outside, it seemed that the person who was following him did not continue to follow him, so Jianshu left the space and prepared to go home.

I was targeted today, it must be because the quantity is a bit large and they are all high-quality goods.

It seems that I can't come here in the short term. Fortunately, I am in disguise today, so I don't have to worry about being recognized.

After returning home, I took out all the money in the space and poured it on the bed: one cent, two cents, five cents, ten cents, twenty cents, fifty cents, one dollar, two dollars, and five dollars were all sorted and stacked.

After counting, the total amount was seventy yuan and fifty cents.

Looking at the pile of money in front of me, I finally understood why so many people engage in speculation. It is true that they can make money. In just half a day in the morning, they earned two months' salary for many workers.

Although other people's business was not free like her, it was still more profitable than working. However, high returns also meant high risks. If she was caught, everything would be over.

If Jianshu didn't have a space, when something really happened, people could just throw the supplies into the space and wouldn't have to worry about being caught red-handed.
