Chapter 30 Convenience of the Black Market
Fang Mingche pedaled hard in the front. His wife and daughter leaned against him in the back, using his body to block the wind.
Lin Yan said, "I know where the black market is, and I know who can buy tickets. I have dealt with many people in the black market when I was buying New Year's goods. During the New Year, the office did not crack down on the black market for speculation and profiteering, and turned a blind eye. If you go to the black market to buy a tricycle ticket, it costs 50 yuan. The tricycle itself costs more than 200. That's 300!"
If Mingche hadn't made money from selling goods. Even if they rented a house, the couple couldn't take out this money.
Is it true that people can't get rich without unexpected wealth? They used to work hard and manage their families frugally.
Fang Mingche nodded, "With you, a local resident who knows the way around, these places are convenient."
Lin Yan smiled and nodded, her eyebrows and eyes were smart.
"When we were in the countryside, you took care of me. Now it's my turn to contribute. Well, in this weather, some people privately make red clay and small fire clay to sell, and coarse bowls are also made privately. But iron teapots, iron barrels, honeycomb coal, etc. all require tickets to buy, let's go and collect tickets first." It
is indeed much more convenient to go to the black market. Otherwise, it would be difficult to collect enough of these things even if you exchange tickets.
Especially honeycomb coal, each family has a limited supply. If you want to buy 300 yuan from others, you may have to go to several more families.
However, now that you have something to do, it is better than doing nothing and waiting for arrangements in the past 50 days.
Lin Yan, who was sitting in the back car holding her daughter, was much more energetic than before.
She leaned on the back of Fang Mingche who was riding a bicycle. Yanyan leaned in her mother's arms, and she could feel that she was in a good mood.
So, when she passed by a roadside store selling non-staple food, she raised her hand and pointed, "Tanghulu--"
Lin Yan hugged her daughter and said, "Be obedient today, I will buy you one after I finish my work. You can only eat it while sitting, not while walking or riding in a car."
Fang Mingche could also hear her joy.
Silly girl, you are so happy to follow him to set up a street stall!
Women are sometimes easy to please. Ah Yan thought that he had quit his formal job to be a migrant worker in BJ for her, and she was very satisfied.
He had to manage her life well, so that she could live a truly comfortable and happy life without worrying about money. The
black market that Lin Yan took Fang Mingche to rode for nearly an hour. There were people watching at the entrances of the four contiguous streets.
Most of the things sold inside were brought back by the black market bosses from outside.
This part of the products is usually very rich, just like what Fang Mingche saw in the Guangzhou black market.
He also saw fruits from the south.
Seeing Yanyan staring at the apples, he squatted down and picked them into the basket. Daily vitamin supplement!
Seeing that he had picked up a few and was still picking them up, Lin Yan gently pulled his sleeve. Just give them to the child to satisfy her craving, she doesn't need to eat them. They are shipped from other places and are quite expensive.
Fang Mingche smiled, "One apple a day keeps diseases away! It's okay, buy a few more and we can all eat them."
The man guarding the apple stall repeated this sentence, "Well, that's right. Sister, your man is very knowledgeable."
Lin Yan smiled, "Weigh it."
After weighing, she paid the money, asked the other party to help wash it, and cut it into three pieces with a knife.
The tricycles could not enter, and the people who put them outside in the black market were still watching.
The family of three ate apples and went shopping. Yanyan was still held by her father like a little figurine.
There were also some products that were sold by local workers and farmers.
The workers had some extra bills on hand that could be sold, which they usually saved.
For example, honeycomb coal, the supply is 100 yuan a month, if only 75 yuan is used. Then 100 yuan of bills can be saved in four months.
Or if they have issued unused industrial bills, they can all be sold.
If they are short of money, bicycle tickets, TV tickets, and everything else can be sold.
Some old hands, their co-workers and leaders all know that they buy and sell bills on the black market. They often ask them to do the buying and selling together and give them a proper commission. After all, if they are caught, it may affect their job.
Lin Yan took Fang Mingche to find such middlemen to buy bills. They often have all kinds of bills on hand.
As for what the farmers brought, they were the grain grown in the fields and the eggs laid by the hens.
Nowadays, each family can only raise three chickens.
But those who are smart will buy them in the village first. If they have enough, they will sell them and make a profit.
The same is true for vegetable oil.
Compared with the state-owned vegetable markets and supply and marketing cooperatives, the black market is more prosperous.
Walking along, Lin Yan was responsible for bargaining with the shopping list, while Fang Mingche held his daughter and carried things. When he couldn't carry it anymore, he took it out and put it in the compartment of the tricycle before coming in.
They buy a lot, so they are considered big customers. The people in the black market will help watch the things voluntarily.
Well, those who go in to sell things have to pay a stall fee of 50 cents to the black market people.
They have to maintain order, keep watch, etc.
People who go in to buy don't have to, they can just go in directly.
After buying what they need for home life and business, they also bought a fish, 30 eggs, and some vegetables shipped from other places.
Nowadays, there is only Chinese cabbage in the state-owned vegetable market, and other green leafy vegetables are not available at all.
Fish and meat are only available occasionally, so you can go to queue up with tickets. The supply is still limited. If you wait in line for a long time, it may be sold out.
The salesperson just said stiffly, "No more", and then closed the door.
The two also successfully bought tickets for tricycles and honeycomb coal, tin kettles, buckets, etc.
The black market is really convenient! The premise is that you have money.
On the way back, Lin Yan held her daughter in her arms, who was smiling as she ate an apple. She put the remaining money, the tickets she bought, and a bunch of things she bought in her pocket in the back of the car.
She couldn't help but say, "Mingche, you spend money like this."
"Do you feel bad?"
"No, it's so refreshing! This is the first time in my life that I spend money so happily. I have an illusion that we are already rich people."
I withdrew 1,000 yuan in the morning, and it cost hundreds of dollars.
Fortunately, there is still 1,000 yuan in the passbook to keep the house. This makes her feel safe. This 1,000 yuan must not be touched!
Fang Mingche laughed, "I will definitely let you spend money more happily in the future. Be a real rich person!"
"Yeah!"
Things on the black market can only be bought early in the morning. Then go buy old furniture.
Buying old furniture went smoothly, including a big bed, a wardrobe, a cupboard, a desk, and an octagonal table for dining.
Nowadays, there is no door-to-door delivery service, so it would be great if you can help with the loading. And it has to be when the other party is not busy.
Lin Yan bargained and got all five items at 128. Then someone sent a few benches as a bonus.
These will be moved back to the rental house and put up.
It was only a little after ten o'clock, and the two looked at each other, "One more trip before lunch?"
"Okay!"
However, they are two young people, and Yanyan is a little kid, so just let her participate in the trip.
Send it back and let her follow her uncle. Lin Yi will be responsible for staying at home to cook lunch today.
Two updates a day before the release: 12 noon and 18 o'clock
