Jiang Mengxue was a little hesitant. Of course, there were benefits to cooperating with them. She wouldn't have to carry a basket and sell them piecemeal like she did now. Not only was it slow, but there were also great risks. It would take more than a few days to save some money.
If you often go to the black market and always sell good things, you will inevitably be targeted, which is not safe.
If you cooperate directly with the black market boss, it would certainly be safer to just give it to him alone.
But this group of people is actually the most dangerous, and she needs to think carefully about it.
"I need to think about it. I'll come over tomorrow and we'll talk then."
It’s not far from here to home. I get home around six o’clock, and every family has already had dinner by then.
It was chilly at night and no one came out to chat. Everyone was at home doing housework.
Jiang Mengxue held an iron pot in her left hand and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in her right hand, trying to pretend to be prepared.
He entered the house and tidied up the things, then took out food and vegetables from the space and placed them on the table.
It’s too inconvenient to go buy some furniture when I have time later.
Jiang Mengxue actually wanted to buy these two houses. The regulations on this matter are not so strict now, but it will not be possible in a few years.
The house we live in now has a ceiling height of about 5.5 meters. We can make a partition in the middle to make it a duplex. We can make three small bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms and a living-dining room downstairs.
This way, both heating in winter and cooling in summer will be much better than now.
The space is too large, and the heat cannot be accumulated in the house, which will definitely make winter difficult, so we must find a way to change the layout of the house.
Because the weather in the north is cold, the walls are insulated, and the green bricks and red tiles look quite impressive.
However, this place was previously used by the government as an office, and the earthen kangs inside were removed.
Later, it was distributed to residents by the street. As for whether to build a kang or a bed, it was up to each family.
Unfortunately, Jiang Mengxue's house doesn't have a kang. It's so cold in winter and I don't know how the previous owner lived there.
I have to put up a kang when I renovate the house after a while.
There are so many things to do when you think about it. Not to mention buying a house and redecorating it, it will cost a lot of money to buy furniture and miscellaneous items.
But there is no need to rush this matter. The money on hand is not enough. The salary of the past few months, plus the money I exchanged today, only leaves me with about 100 yuan, less than 200 yuan. I need at least 500 yuan before I can consider it.
Jiang Mengxue was reluctant to spend the money she had. It was 1958, and the second set of RMB ten-yuan notes had just been issued last year. The Big Black Ten was particularly valuable in later generations.
The first set of RMB was fully withdrawn in 1955, and the second set of RMB was issued in the same year.
Because the first set of RMB had a large denomination and poor anti-counterfeiting function, in 1953 China commissioned the Soviet Union to print the second edition of the three-yuan and five-yuan notes.
It was officially issued in 1955, and the sample of the ten-yuan coin was handed over to the Soviet side in February of the same year. It was officially issued in December 1957.
It has only been less than a year since its release. This Big Black Ten was issued for a short time. In 1964, banks only accepted it but did not issue it, and it stopped circulating.
Jiang Mengxue planned to keep the brand new Big Black Ten as a collection.
But there is no rush. It was only issued last year and it will take several years to be recovered. Let's wait until the conditions are met in the future. Now we are in urgent need of money.
It’s too early to think about these things. What’s important now is dinner.
With so many people living in one yard, Jiang Mengxue didn't dare to eat dishes with strong flavors.
Close the doors and windows tightly, and take out the packaged noodles with soybean paste from the space.
There aren’t many noodles, and it’s so delicious to eat the garlic pork ribs while slurping the noodles.
I had a good sleep, but was woken up by the noise outside the next day.
I don’t have an alarm clock, and I don’t know how other people tell time. Do they get up as soon as it gets light?
I put the thermometer outside to measure the temperature, and it was only around ten degrees in the morning.
The weather is nice today. It's sunny and the temperature is over 20 degrees at noon, which is pretty good. You can just wear a thin coat outside in the morning and evening, and it won't be too cold or too hot.
Get up, wash your face and brush your teeth, apply lotion, essence and eye cream. The weather is a bit dry, so it’s best to put on a facial mask when you come back at night. This face still looks good. You are young, and even if you have never applied anything before, it is still smooth and tender. This is the advantage of youth.
There was no fire in the stove, and it was too late to light it now. He picked up a new piece of honeycomb coal with pliers and planned to go next door to exchange it with Aunt Liu for a ready-made one.
The yard was quite lively at this time of year, with every household cooking. Aunt Liu had just brought down the porridge. She had also heated up the steamed buns while cooking the porridge, and after cutting some pickles, she could start eating.
"Auntie, I'd like to exchange a piece of honeycomb coal with you. Are you free now?"
"Xiao Jiang, if you're free, I just finished cooking. I'll change it for you right away."
As he said that, he picked up the piece on top of the stove and gave it to Jiang Mengxue.
The middle piece was completely red and almost burned out, while the piece above was only half burned.
"Thank you, Aunt Liu. I'll go back and cook."
I went back to the house and placed the burnt honeycomb coal in the middle, then fanned the vents underneath to increase the fire power.
Take out the flour and add water to dilute it. Boil the water in the pot and add the dough balls. Beat an egg and finally add a handful of green vegetables.
I didn’t eat much in the morning, so there was still a lot left after I filled a bowl. I put the rest in a bowl and put it in the empty cupboard.
