After buying the cloth, almost one-third of the two hundred yuan in Lin Manman's hand was gone in an instant.
Originally, she thought that prices were extremely low in this era, and she would be considered a wealthy woman if she had 200 yuan.
But when she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she found out that she was still poor!
She doesn't even deserve a watch!
The watches in the supply and marketing cooperative required watch tickets. Zhou Yun gave her a bunch of different tickets, but there was no such thing as a watch ticket!
The two of them bought a few notebooks, pencils, erasers, pencil cases, and a green cross-body bag before leaving the supply and marketing cooperative.
Although these things are not many, that schoolbag alone cost Lin Manman several dollars and an industrial ticket.
Her heart ached so much!
As the eldest daughter of the Lin Group, when has she ever felt heartbroken over a few dollars?
But what about now?
But it was the first time I experienced the feeling of money slipping away from my pocket.
This feeling is really bad!
After the two men came out, they just observed for a while and found the entrance to the black market.
However, they did not rush in. Instead, they walked a little further away, found an empty alley, and then entered the space with their bicycles.
After the two people entered the space, they immediately ran to the room on the right and started changing their clothes.
When they entered the city this time, they deliberately put a set of tattered clothes in the space in advance.
Both of them wore several sets of clothes, and after layering them together, they looked a lot fatter.
After changing their clothes, the two ran to the open space outside the yard, took the cosmetics and started applying them on their faces.
It doesn't matter how good-looking it is, as long as it doesn't look like myself.
Lin Manman directly darkened her face several shades, added a bunch of pockmarks, and drew two big patches of highland red on her cheeks.
After making himself look ugly like this, he was completely different from his original appearance.
What does the ugliness of the black market have to do with me?
Just make money!
Gu Zhuoyuan's face was also darkened several degrees, his edges became softer, and his eyebrows were deliberately thickened, like two black and thick caterpillars.
After confirming that it was very different from its original appearance, the two of them carefully left the space.
The bicycle remained in the space, and one person carried a backpack on his back.
The backpack contains the things to be sold today.
Apart from rice and flour, the only things they can sell are brown sugar and oil.
The old man used brown sugar as a seasoning and gave her fifty kilograms of it at once.
This made it easier for Lin Manman to cash it in.
At this time, brown sugar is classified as a nutritional supplement, so the price is naturally not cheap.
They don't use much oil on a daily basis, so it's not a problem to divide out a few dozen pounds of the 100 pounds of oil.
In addition, the most common items they have are rice and flour.
There wasn't much else, just enough for them to eat.
Rice and flour will continue to be produced in the space, and they don’t feel bad about selling them.
The two men were stopped when they reached the entrance of the black market carrying baskets on their backs.
"Stop! What are you going in for? There's a fee to enter here. It's 10 cents to buy something and 30 cents to sell something." One of them said.
Lin Manman paid 60 cents and the two men let them go.
Those who thought they were traveling together only needed to pay one fee.
Who would have thought that they charge per person?
I feel so sorry for Lin Manman!
But when she thought about the money she would make once she got in, she felt a little more at peace.
If she had known that it was so easy to make money, Lin Manman would have wanted to dig a channel herself, let people do the business, and then sit back and collect the entrance fees!
Of course, this is just her fantasy.
The black market is in a winding alley, with people setting up stalls and selling things on both sides of the alley.
There are quite a lot of people selling and buying goods right now!
But it’s also because the inspection is not strict now, so things can be sold there like a market.
Basically, if there is any rumor, someone will come to inform us.
After entering, the two did not rush to sell the goods, but walked around inside.
They mainly want to see how everyone sells goods, what goods they sell, and what the basic prices are.
You can't just put things out as soon as you arrive and then say you want to sell them.
As a result, when people come to ask, what are the prices of the items?
But they both knew nothing about anything!
That's so embarrassing!
Neither of them was familiar with the prices of goods in this era, so they had to observe first.
After they had almost figured out the routine, the two men found a spot at the end of the alley and squatted down.
This location is close to the exit at the end of the alley, and there is a person in charge of guarding the black market here.
The two planned to sell the products individually, but their real goal was to ship them in large quantities.
Even if they don’t have anything now, it doesn’t mean they will never have anything!
If nothing goes wrong, the crops in the space can be harvested tonight or tomorrow.
By then, they will have a lot of grain stored in the warehouse. Will they still worry about not having grain to sell?
If I sell these in small quantities, it will take me an eternity to make enough money, right?
Do they have to wait until the situation gets serious before they come out and work hard to make money?
This is contrary to what they are striving for.
The two men slightly lifted a corner of the clothes on the backpack so that passers-by could see clearly what they were selling.
Not long after the two of them squatted down, an aunt came over.
Although this aunt is a little thin, she looks in good spirits.
The clothes she wore were about 80% new, without a single patch on them, and her shoes were the kind of safety shoes unique to that era.
After identification, it was found that this was a rich aunt!
This aunt's son is a rare college graduate. At a young age, he is the deputy director of the city's steel plant and earns more than 100 yuan a month.
Her husband is a retired veteran and receives a lot of subsidies every month.
My daughter-in-law is well-educated and writes articles for publishing houses.
Everyone in the family earns money, but she is the only one taking care of a little grandson. Her life is extremely comfortable!
She just walked over from a distance and saw that the backpacks of Lin Manman and Gu Zhuoyuan were full of white things.
When I came over to take a look, it was indeed rice!
White rice! And just by looking at the color, you can tell it’s premium rice!
The other backpack was filled with special grade Fuqiang flour!
She had never seen such a white Fuqiang pink before!
"Big sister, how much do you sell this rice for? And how much do you sell this Fuqiang flour for?" asked the aunt.
She was so excited!
You know, she hasn't bought such good-looking food for a long time since the famine!
Even though we have recovered now, the food we can eat every day is limited.
Not to mention the white rice and flour!
