After arriving in the town.
Tie Lanyan said goodbye to the aunts and walked to the bus station.
The so-called bus station is a simple open-air venue with a ticket office next to it.
Tie Lanyan: "Comrade, I want to go to the county, please give me a ticket."
The conductor said, "15 cents. The next bus is in 10 minutes. It's right next to you. Hurry up."
"Okay, thank you."
Tie Lanyan handed the money over, took the handwritten paper ticket and got on the bus.
It takes two hours to drive from the town to the county. Tie Lanyan fell asleep on the way so swayingly.
This was thanks to her experience at the end of the world. She had seen all kinds of bad roads, so she naturally wouldn't get carsick on this bumpy road.
After arriving in the county, Tie Lanyan went to the department store first.
She hasn't been to the county department store since she came back from her hometown. This is her first time.
If I have time today, I must go for a good walk.
Department stores are filled with a wide variety of goods and sell a much wider range of things than supply and marketing cooperatives.
Tie Lanyan bought two bottles of vanishing cream and a set of skin care products imported from Shanghai.
Although she dresses low-key, she still needs to take good care of her skin. This is the nature of a beauty lover.
Winter is coming and we need winter clothes.
Of course, the most practical choice is to buy a women's military coat.
The green coat is eye-catching and knee-length. It is not only thick and warm but also dirt-resistant. It is the best choice for rural travel in winter.
Tie Lanyan bought two pieces directly so that she can wear them alternately if she is too lazy to wash them.
She didn't buy other clothes either, as there were still a lot of clothes left in the space.
I have collected several hundred pieces of cloth from the secret door of Deputy Director Zhang's house before. I can find a tailor to help make a few sets of clothes when the time comes.
Tie Lanyan also bought some notebooks of writing paper, a pen and two bottles of ink.
She likes to write with a fountain pen, and she always smells a faint scent of ink when she writes.
It smells good and makes my handwriting more powerful.
Tie Lanyan went to the grocery store and bought some melon seeds and peanuts. Eating melons is a must.
I also bought a few boxes of cakes, two bottles of maltose, some candy, and a few cans of fruit.
Put these in the space as snacks and eat them whenever you want.
Tie Lanyan was also lucky that the meat section of the department store just happened to have a new batch of pork today.
A group of aunts and uncles were crowding and scrambling for the goods. Tie Lanyan quickly squeezed over and with her agility she quickly got to the front and bought 10 kilograms of pork.
After buying the pork, the hair tie on her head was all ripped apart.
I saw how strong these aunts and grandfathers were in fighting.
After buying almost everything, Tie Lanyan left the department store and headed towards the hospital.
She came to the county town today for two purposes: one was to buy things and the other was to sell things.
I harvested so much food in the space last night, I have to sell some on the black market and check out the market.
This time, Tie Lanyan successfully found the black market, which was at the entrance of a remote alley.
The black market in the county town is naturally not as good as the one in Beijing, and the management is more lax, with a man guarding the door.
Tie Lanyan paid 1.5 cents for the entrance fee and went in.
She even used a scarf to cover half of her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.
There were many people dressed like her in the black market, and most of them covered themselves up for fear of being recognized.
Tie Lanyan walked around and got a general idea of the prices.
Then he went to a secluded place, changed his clothes, and reappeared in the image of a middle-aged woman with a backpack on his back.
She walked to a corner and took out 50 kilograms of rice and flour from the basket.
Not long after I got these two items, a gentleman came over and asked about the price.
"Big sister, how much is this rice?"
Tie Lanyan: "Master, the rice I have here is of very good quality. The supply and marketing cooperative charges 18 cents per pound and requires a ticket. Mine doesn't require a ticket, it's 63 cents per pound."
The rice in the county town is naturally cheaper than in Beijing. Her price is a bit high, and there is still room for bargaining.
When the grandfather heard the price, he wanted to leave immediately, but when he turned around and saw the white rice, he stopped again.
He walked over, picked up a handful of rice, looked at it carefully, and then put it to his nose and smelled it.
"The quality of this rice is indeed good, but the price is still too high. How about 58 cents?"
Tie Lanyan: "One price, 0.60 cents. This is my biggest concession."
The master was a straightforward person, so he nodded and said, "Okay, 60 cents is 60 cents, give me 20 kilograms!"
As he spoke, he handed over the cloth bag filled with rice.
"Okay!" Tie Lanyan took a wooden scale, weighed the food and handed it to him.
As soon as the grandfather left, a few more aunts came and asked about the price of flour.
Like rice, flour is sold at 0.6 yuan per pound by Tielanyan, which is a fair price.
In less than an hour, all 50 kilograms of rice and 50 kilograms of flour on the stall were sold out, earning a total of 60 yuan.
Tie Lanyan didn't sell it anymore.
I came to the black market today to find out the market situation and to pay attention to the person in charge of the black market.
She has so much food in her space, she can't come here to sell it individually every time, otherwise she will be exhausted. It's better to find a partner who is more reliable.
Tie Lanyan bought a few handfuls of melon seeds and became familiar with the lady who sold vegetables nearby.
"Sister, this is my first time in the black market and I'm a little scared. How's the security in this black market? Will anyone go out and talk nonsense?"
The vegetable seller got some melon seeds and spit them out on the ground as she ate them:
"It's okay. It's much better in the past two years. Before, we had to pay stall fees, but now no one comes to check. It's very safe."
Tie Lanyan: "Oh, will the black market leader come to inspect? I'm quite curious. "
"Yes!" The old lady pointed and said, "Do you see the old man sweeping the floor over there? That's him."
Not far away, an old man in patched clothes was sweeping the floor with his waist bent and grunting.
Tie Lanyan: ???
No, the black market boss is so down-to-earth, but he is an old man?
Seeing Tie Lanyan's look of disbelief, the aunt continued:
"Don't look at that old man, he's very powerful.
Did you see the gatekeeper of the black market? That's the old man's eldest son. He's very good at fighting and acts like a madman. Everyone is afraid of him.
The old man also has a son who is a transporter. He travels all over the country and has a wide range of sources of supplies.
The old man's son-in-law is the supply manager of the county department store. He is very eloquent and I heard that he has a lot of friends and even has connections with the police.
Given the old man's background, no one dares to offend him."
Tie Lanyan was curious: "Sister, how do you know so much?"
The eldest sister spat out a melon seed shell and grinned:
"Because this old man is my family, the big, stupid guy guarding the door is my eldest son, hehe."
"Don't be lazy there, you old man! I haven't cleaned up all the melon seed shells yet, get out of here!"
Tie Lanyan: ...
