Both Grandpa Fu and Mother Fu died in the line of duty. In addition to the pension given by the state, they also receive a subsidy every month. Plus, there are so many material things in the space, so there is no need for Fu Xiao to withdraw the money in the passbook.
The black market is a product of this special era: free trade was not possible, and supplies in supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores required tickets, which could not meet the demands of the people, so the black market emerged.
As the name suggests, the black market cannot be seen in public and is hidden in sparsely populated and relatively secluded places. Fu Xiao searched for a long time before he found the so-called black market in a remote alley.
There are not many people in the black market, only a dozen or so people selling things secretly, but there are quite a few people buying things.
Fu Xiao, in disguise, walked around in there for a few times but didn't find what he wanted, so he was about to leave.
At this time, an old lady came over, pulled her and asked in a low voice: "Girl, what do you want to buy?"
"I want chicks and ducklings, as well as cows and sheep. Do you have any?" Fu Xiao answered in a low voice while pinching his throat, while observing his surroundings.
"Why do you want this thing? This is not the countryside, and this is not sold in the city." The old lady looked at her as if she was a fool, with a face full of disgust and speechlessness. After she finished speaking, she left to find her next target. She rolled her eyes at her when she left, probably because she thought she was making a joke of her.
Fu Xiao then realized that she might have taken it for granted. She thought that livestock could be bought on the black market...
But she really didn't understand this era. It turned out that livestock were only available in production teams in the countryside, and each family was limited to raising two hens. The cattle and sheep she was thinking of were only available in one or two production teams, and they were all state property and private trading was not allowed.
Unable to buy what he wanted, Fu Xiao found a corner, entered the space and removed his disguise. Feeling a little hungry, he decided to go to a restaurant to eat something. Now there were no private restaurants in the open, and only state-owned restaurants allowed by the state were open. He didn't know how the food tasted.
The state-owned restaurant was easy to find. Fu Xiao went in and ordered a plate of braised pork, an eggplant with minced meat, and a bowl of rice at the service window.
The waiter collected the money and ticket, asked her to wait at her seat, and would call her when the food was ready. His service attitude was different from the waiters in later generations who would smile at everyone they saw. The eyes of the waiters here seemed to be on top of their heads, and they ignored the customers.
Fu Xiao didn't care about these things. This was the characteristic of this era. After all, he was a formal worker. In this era, having a temporary job was considered a blessing for the family.
After the dishes were served, Fu Xiao started to eat. The braised pork was especially delicious. She squinted her eyes while eating. It was really fragrant. The minced meat and eggplant were also very tasty, though a little too oily. However, the meat was fresh and tasted unique. She finished both dishes and finished the remaining rice with the last piece of braised pork. Then she got up and walked out of the restaurant.
I returned home, locked the door from the inside, went back to the room and entered the space, filled the bathtub with water, and prepared to take a bath. I soaked for about half an hour. I don't know if it was my illusion, but I always felt that the water in this hot spring had special effects. After soaking, I felt that my mental strength had increased a little. Let's wait and see the results.
Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, I looked at the girl in front of me, a twelve-year-old girl with baby fat on her face, chubby and slightly different from her appearance in her previous life. She had cat-like eyes and looked like a good girl.
She was about 150cm tall. In that era when boys were generally valued more than girls and food and clothing were scarce, her height and round face proved how much the Fu family doted on this granddaughter.
I was going to sleep in the space tonight, so I changed into a set of modern and comfortable home clothes. As for the classmates who were coming to my house to plot against me at night?
Let her die!!!
How could she force her way in if I didn't open the door?
It's still early for bedtime, so I walked into the study to find a book to read. It was bright inside the villa, as if there was no night in this space. Now it's dark outside, but the space is still the same. I don't know what the principle is, but the villa seems to have a fixed time.
There are many medical books on the bookshelf in the study, all of which are Grandpa Fu’s collection. Fu Xiao is still very interested in traditional Chinese medicine. At the end of her previous life, she studied pharmacy, which were all Western medicine or Chinese patent medicine. She knew very little about Chinese medicine such as taking the pulse and acupuncture. Treatment mainly relies on healing abilities. Since she has the opportunity, she still has to learn some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. She is still very interested in traditional Chinese medicine.
He opened a Chinese medicine encyclopedia and was about to read it first. He walked to the desk at the side and just as he sat down, he found a computer on the desk. Fu Xiao turned it on with a little curiosity. He certainly had no hope of connecting to the Internet, but this villa should have electricity, so he thought about seeing if he could turn it on.
“Eh…”
As the power-on sound rang out, Fu Xiao's cat eyes began to sparkle.
