After Li Jinfeng confirmed that no one would recognize her, she began to ask people about the location of the night market.
Even in the provincial capital, the shortage of supplies is very serious.
Plus, salaries in the provincial capital are high, so you can enjoy it.
Fine grains became a hot commodity.
The buyers that Li Jinfeng found all lit up with excitement when they heard that there was fine grain.
He took Li Jinfeng to a quiet and deserted place to do the transaction.
The price of fine grains on the black market in the provincial capital is much higher than that in the county town.
A pound of fine grain was sold for seven yuan without any food coupons.
Li Jinfeng guessed that it was because people in the provincial capital generally had high salaries.
In Anwu County, workers' wages are only 20 to 30 yuan. If they work in the trade union, they can probably earn 10 to 5 yuan more.
In the provincial capital of Jiangbei Province, the starting salary is 30 years old. If you are a senior technician, the salary may reach more than 100 years old.
In the 1960s, based on the market price of grain at a few cents per pound, how much grain could you buy with a salary of over 100 yuan?
Of course, this assumes that there is sufficient supply. In this era, materials are scarce and supply is limited. If you don’t come to the night market, even if you have a salary of more than 100 yuan, you have nowhere to spend it.
Li Jinfeng sold 60 kilograms of fine grain and received 420 yuan.
Just as she was about to leave, suddenly, an old lady in her sixties called out to Li Jinfeng.
"Girl..."
"Girl, you have some food in your hands, right?" The old lady looked at Li Jinfeng with a hint of pity in her eyes.
"Old lady, you..."
"I don't have that much money. Can I exchange something else with you?" asked the old lady.
"Little girl, I really have no other choice. No one in my family earns a high salary, and we have to spend our little money here and there. I don't know what to do in the future..."
As the old lady spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Li Jinfeng noticed that the clothes she was wearing were different from those of the person she had traded with before.
I guess the family conditions are not very good.
"Old lady, what do you want to exchange with me?" Li Jinfeng asked.
"I use this..." The old lady looked around and found that no one noticed her.
He took out a silver dollar from his pocket.
"Let's go!" said Li Jinfeng.
Taking the old lady to a deserted place, Li Jinfeng exchanged ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, and ten kilograms of coarse grains for the old lady.
The old lady gave him a bundle of silver dollars, a white jade bracelet, and a piece of Hui ink that smelled of ink.
"Girl, these are all I brought with me when I went out. If it's not enough... I..."
"Old lady, enough is enough!"
If there wasn't a shortage of food at that time, how could that bundle of silver dollars only be exchanged for 30 kilograms of food?
"Old lady, I should come here again after lunch. If you still need food, come again." Li Jinfeng said.
"As for the exchange... you don't need to prepare anything else!"
The money earned from today's exchange is enough for Li Jinfeng to use for a long time.
She will not come to the black market in the provincial capital in the short term.
But this old lady must be very short of food, otherwise she would not have looked at her with such pitiful eyes at that time.
Li Jinfeng earns enough and wants to do something within her ability occasionally!
"Girl, you are a good person. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any harm!" The old lady said to Li Jinfeng with tears in her eyes.
