Chapter 16 Black Market
Then I used the ingredients that I had taken out from the space in advance to make stir-fried green beans and shredded pork with green peppers.
I made another bowl of fresh and delicious seasonal vegetable and cod noodles for Yanyan. Today's snack is the soft and delicious red date steamed cake.
Remove the core of the red dates and crush them into paste. Add flour, red date paste and eggs into a bowl, mix evenly and smoothly, and steam for 20 minutes.
Mother Gu, who was sitting in front of the stove, was so shocked that her eyelids were twitching. Wow, the snacks she was making for her children required so many precious things!
She said that boiled eggs are a good snack.
After spending such a long time together, Gu's mother has already figured out her daughter-in-law's personality.
She will listen to your preaching with a smile, but whether she will do it or not is another matter, so Mother Gu just complains silently in her heart.
After all, the food will eventually go into the stomach of my own grandchildren, so let it be a luxury.
And with such meals every day, no wonder Yanyan was raised so well. Children of his age can't even speak clearly now.
Besides, she and her old man have benefited a lot. Now after dinner, they go out for a walk. Everyone will praise the daughter-in-law for being filial and the family for being harmonious.
These are all Yunxi's contributions, and she remembers them all in her heart.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finished their breakfast, Lin Yunxi went into the bedroom, kissed her son's fair and tender little face, and covered him with a small quilt.
"Mom, I'm leaving. I'm sorry to bother you today." She put on the backpack and walked out the door.
In her heart, Gu's mother had already regarded Lin Yunxi as her own daughter, and she kept nagging when she heard this.
"It's not a big deal. Go ahead and don't worry. I'll take care of Yanyan. Be careful on the way. You don't have to rush back at noon. Go to the state-owned restaurant to eat something."
There is basically not much work to do in the fields now, and Gu's mother has also become free, so helping to take care of the children is just a matter of convenience.
Besides, Yanyan is very well behaved and won’t cause any worry at all.
"Okay, Mom, I'm leaving now."
Gujia Village is not far from the county town. Lin Yunxi was worried that her son would wake up and cry, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
After being nourished by the spiritual spring water, her physical strength and speed were no less than that of an adult man, and she reached the county town in less than half an hour.
At this time, the sun was just rising slowly, casting an orange halo on the horizon, like a ribbon left by fairies in the world.
Lin Yunxi looked at the small county town in the 1970s with curiosity. These were precious scenes that could not be seen in books and materials.
The county town is not big, with only two main streets. Pedestrians are hurrying on the narrow roads, most of them are rushing to work.
Apart from this, there were only a few people riding bicycles on the street, with their bodies straight and their postures proud.
Bicycles at that time were like modern cars, a luxury item that could only be purchased with a bicycle ticket and was very rare.
But this is nothing special for Lin Yunxi, who is used to seeing cars running on the streets in modern times.
After strolling around the county town, Lin Yunxi began to carefully observe the location of the black market.
Her purpose of coming to the county town today was not to compete with so many people in the supply and marketing cooperative to buy supplies, but to try her luck in the black market.
The food and fruits in Lin Yunxi's space were piled up into a mountain, and she and Yanyan would never be able to finish eating them all.
So she planned to sell some of the supplies to ease the financial pressure.
Lin Yunxi had enough food and clothes, but she lacked money and tickets.
Her entire belongings amounted to only two hundred and fifteen dollars, and the original owner squandered the remaining seventy-five dollars.
Adding the sixty yuan that Gu Zheng sent back in the past two months, the total was only a little over a hundred yuan.
As the saying goes, if you have money in your hands, you will not be worried. She also planned to buy land and houses and start a business after the reform and opening up, but this amount of money is really not enough.
On the other hand, the food and fruits in the space are of very good quality, and if they are sold, there will definitely be a shortage of supply.
Everyone says that the county town is good, but Lin Yunxi feels that the life of people in the city is worse than that in the countryside. Although the meals in the countryside are simple, at least they can get enough to eat.
However, the monthly food supply for each person in the city is limited. Families with large populations have to tighten their belts and may not be able to buy food on the black market.
There is a food shortage all over the country now, the price of food in the black market remains high, and there is still a shortage of supply. However, Lin Yunxi is not worried at all about the lack of market.
The only thing she needs to pay attention to is that she needs to be cautious, not reveal her identity, and find a reliable partner.
Lin Yunxi carefully observed the women and elderly people on the street and soon discovered a pattern.
Most people looked around and headed towards an alley.
From this, she roughly determined the location of the black market.
Next, Lin Yunxi came to another remote alley and entered the space.
She changed out of her floral shirt and put on the black men's suit that she had prepared long ago.
By the way, I took out my cosmetics, put on some makeup, and put on a wig.
Lin Yunxi is very good at makeup. From her appearance, she looks like a thin man.
Her skin is dark and her lips are thick. Her original features have been covered up one by one. Now even an acquaintance standing in front of her would not be able to recognize her.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Yunxi came to the warehouse and put some rice, flour and some common fruits into the backpack.
Lin Yunxi dared to guarantee that anyone who saw these things would be moved. These were the best bargaining chips and her greatest confidence.
After finishing the preparations, Lin Yunxi said to himself: Get out, and then he returned to the alley.
She carried the samples and walked towards the black market, and sure enough, she saw someone who seemed to be a lookout at the entrance of the alley.
"Secret code." Seeing someone coming, a young man with slightly curly hair stretched out his hand to stop Lin Yunxi.
Lin Yunxi did not speak immediately, but calmly put down the backpack and lifted a corner of the cloth covering the backpack.
He lowered his voice and said gruffly, "I'm not going in there. I'm here to discuss business with your boss."
Curly looked at the thin man in front of him with disdain. Not everyone is qualified to do business with his boss.
Then he nonchalantly looked towards the basket on the ground, but this sight made his jaw drop to the ground, as he saw the basket filled with the finest fine rice and flour.
This was not what shocked him the most. The most shocking thing was the fruit pressed under the grain.
Curly took a quick look and saw that in addition to the common apples, grapes, watermelons and pears here, there were also other fruits.
There are also rare fruits that are only available in the south: bananas, mangoes, pomegranates and lychees. Each one is juicy and larger than the best quality fruits on the market.
Even from a distance, you can still smell the unique fragrance and sweetness of each fruit.
Anyone with a little common sense knows that these are top-quality fruits that are hard to come by.
