Many families in rural areas don't have pants anymore; some boys even wear pants made from urea bags.
Don't laugh, this kind of thing happens quite often.
Flour is made using flour sacks.
Flour sacks are made of cloth and are more expensive than nylon bags.
So if you go to the black market to buy flour, you have to bring your own bag.
These days, nobody prepares containers for you.
Even a basket has to be bought.
For example, if you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of things, you still need to buy your own bags to carry them.
Services like pre-packaged packages are simply not available.
Perhaps you have a good social standing, such as coming from a family of high-ranking officials, then it's possible.
That means someone paid for your package deal privately.
Gu Yunyang's pastries were all wrapped in oil paper and then packaged in cardboard.
Other grains and cereals all have their own packaging.
Two new types of packaging have appeared today.
Huo Yin also noticed and excitedly stepped forward: "Let me see, what kind of fries and chips are these? They say they're made from fried potatoes, and they want us to try these out first to see if there's a market for them. They're wrapped in oil paper, very crispy, and then wrapped in a slightly sturdier cardboard box. One pack costs one cent?"
Huo Yin immediately opened a box, gave a few slices to the monkey, and then took a few slices for himself to eat: "Hmm? It's a bit sour, but it's also very crunchy. Is it tomato flavored?"
"It does taste good. But such a light box costs a dime?"
The monkey itself would definitely not buy it.
But those who can afford to buy things on the black market usually have some spare money at home, so maybe they're willing to buy them?
Especially those who bring gold and silver jewelry, as well as jade and other precious stones to sell.
They offered decent prices, although they did make mistakes and get scammed sometimes.
Huo Yin has also intensified his training in this area and invited experts to oversee it.
"And this fermented black bean fish comes in several varieties. It says on the label that there are river fish, rice paddy fish, carp, silver carp, and mud carp, as well as yellow croaker, pomfret, and bluefin bream."
Huo Yin glanced at it and said, "Then let's... forget it, let's take it back first. Everyone can try it at dinner tonight. Then we can have someone come and move it out tonight. We can release a batch out of the black market tonight and see how it goes."
Huo Yin's mouth watered as he looked at the black bean fish.
Unsurprisingly, the things the boss gave me were all good stuff.
They used to think that potato-based products were just so-so, like potato chips and fries.
Who knew it would taste so good?
Although both he and the monkey felt that one cent could only buy one box, which was a bit too expensive.
But people still keep buying them.
Needless to say, this fish is even better.
People don't eat meat often, maybe only two ounces a month, which isn't enough to satisfy them.
Fish is also meat, although most people don't know how to handle it. The main problem is that if you don't add oil, how can it taste good?
As long as you're willing to use oil, the fish will taste just as good.
But the boss is willing to let it go.
I have no idea where the boss got so much oil.
Then this black bean fish must taste delicious.
The monkey sighed, "What do you think? Should we ask the boss for more oil? That stuff is sure to sell well. Even if the black market across the street lowers the price, they still can't get too much of it."
Huo Yin's heart stirred, and he nodded: "I'll try it later. When I get back, I'll have Crow send a message to ask."
Anyway, if they can't handle this kind of thing, then we can only ask the boss.
As he spoke, Huo Yin picked out some items, packed them in a large box, and had the monkey take them. The two of them went out, locked the door, and left.
It's definitely not convenient to move things in broad daylight.
Their hideout cannot be revealed to just anyone.
Before long, it was dinner time. Huo Yin and Monkey brought out several boxes of fermented black bean fish: "Everyone, try the new product today. If you like it, we can save some for later."
