Early the next morning, when Jiang Yuman woke up, Fu Jingchen was no longer in bed.
She thought that he was going to do some work in the countryside, so she didn't ask much when she went downstairs. After eating, she went out.
At that time, speculation and profiteering were strictly controlled, and people wearing red armbands were often seen catching people everywhere.
If you are caught, you will be put in jail and paraded through the streets, so the black market opens very early.
Thinking about going to the black market today, Jiang Yuman also specially put a scarf and a hat in the space.
As soon as I left the house, I found an alley, put on my scarf and hat, leaving only my eyes exposed.
Then he put on a gray coat, carried a basket covered with cloth, and when he came out again, he was like a different person.
There is nothing in the basket. It is mainly a decoy. When you take money out of the space, you can pretend that you took it out from the basket to avoid suspicion.
Carrying a basket, Jiang Yuman, in disguise, headed straight for the black market.
Unlike other bustling streets, although there are many people here, everyone has disguised themselves tacitly. Many people, like Jiang Yuman, only show their eyes.
That was right. As soon as Jiang Yuman walked in, she saw an old lady selling eggs on the roadside.
Eggs are a good thing, they can be boiled, fried or even steamed.
It can also be used to marinate meat and fry meatballs. It has many uses.
According to the old lady, these eggs are all free-range eggs, laid by the chickens at home that eat grain.
After hearing this, Jiang Yuman bought up all two large baskets of eggs.
Eggs are a rare commodity these days. The old lady was curious about why Jiang Yuman bought so many eggs, but when she saw that she was pregnant, she stopped talking.
Pregnant women need to eat eggs to nourish their bodies after giving birth, so it is normal to need so many eggs.
Only city wives know how to eat it. Country women only eat one egg every two days after giving birth!
Two baskets of eggs, weighing 60 kilograms!
Jiang Yuman made the excuse that her husband would be here soon and asked the old lady to move the eggs to a small alley.
Then she reached into the basket and actually took out the money from the space and counted it out for the old lady.
As soon as the old lady left, she immediately put all the eggs into the space.
These things can be put in without worrying about them going bad.
She had already tested it with boiling water last night, and it would be the same as when she put it in at night and took it out in the morning.
In this space, time stands still.
Of course, two baskets of eggs cannot meet the family's needs for two years in the countryside. Let's just leave it like this for now and buy more eggs when needed.
After exiting the alley, Jiang Yuman continued to stroll around the black market, wanting to see if she could buy some meat.
She was lucky, for when she turned around she saw a young man carrying half a pig out of the alley.
Everyone who came from the black market was staring at the meat and fine grains. As soon as this man came out, everyone stared at him closely with their only exposed eyes.
Jiang Yuman hurried forward and lowered her voice: "How much is one pound? I want them all."
The young man was stunned and asked, "You want them all?" His tone was somewhat incredulous.
"Yes, I still think this is not enough."
After hearing this, the others who followed and wanted to ask questions immediately dispersed.
They took care of everything, so there was no room for them.
I couldn't help but secretly marvel at this. What a generous act. So much meat and still complaining it's not enough.
They would buy at most one pound, smear it with salt, and eat it in three portions.
The young man said, "Sister, this pork is originally one dollar a pound. If you want all of it, I'll charge you ninety cents."
Jiang Yuman nodded. The original owner had worked in a supply and marketing department, so this price was indeed higher than that of the supply and marketing department.
However, the meat from the supply and marketing department is not so easy to buy. If you don’t go early and queue up, the quality of the meat you buy will be very poor.
It’s nothing like the half pork in front of me, which is so fresh.
Seeing Jiang Yuman so straightforward, the young man lowered his voice and said, "Sister, I still have half a pig at home that I haven't sold yet. Do you want some?"
These were pigs that they had secretly raised in their hometown. They had put a lot of thought into them and wanted to sell them on the black market for some money.
He was afraid something might happen if he took too much at once, so he took half of it first.
I asked this after hearing Jiang Yuman say it was not enough and seeing that she didn't seem like the kind of person who would meddle in other people's business.
