How could I go to the countryside without a single penny on me? I should at least have a few hundred yuan on me. I understand the principle of being frugal on the road.
Anyway, there are so many supplies in the space, I can just exchange them for a few hundred dollars on the black market. There aren't many places where I need money, and the space has everything, so there's no need to exchange too much.
After I had looked at the items, I went outside and saw that everyone was eating. Even my younger brother, who was in school, had come back and was sitting down to eat as well.
Even if she can't eat the food, she has to eat it. Besides, having been through so many worlds, there's nothing she can't eat.
"Have you looked at it? Is there anything missing? If so, let me know quickly, and I'll bring it back when I get off work."
Tang Baozhu shook her head, worried that they wouldn't be able to see while eating, and quickly added, "Everything is quite complete, nothing is missing."
When Tang's mother saw that her daughter said she didn't need anything, she didn't care anymore. She thought that she would give her another 20 yuan when she left, which should be enough. Why would a girl carry so much money?
After the meal, those who needed to go to work went to work, and those who needed to go to school went to school, leaving Tang Baozhu alone again.
I took the dishes to wash, grabbed a basket, locked the door, and prepared to leave.
Tang Baozhu was glad that her divine sense was still usable; otherwise, the black market, located in such a secluded place, would have been quite difficult to find.
With the aid of divine sense, he was incredibly accurate in finding things, and soon located the black market in a dilapidated alley.
There were quite a few stalls inside, and quite a lot of people buying things. Everyone was covering their faces with a small cloth. Was this to prevent being discovered or what?
Tang Baozhu felt she needed to fit in, so she took a small piece of cloth from her spatial storage and, when no one was around, covered her face with it.
He filled his basket with brown sugar, all of it wrapped in oil paper, one pound at a time, thinking that if he sold it, he would have enough money for himself.
I went straight to the gatekeeper, paid a fee of two cents, and was immediately allowed to pass.
I first looked around inside to see the prices of things. If you know where they sell rice and flour, rice isn't too expensive, only a little over 30 cents. Flour is a bit more expensive, after all, it's a specialty of the north, selling for around 50 cents.
Finally, in the farthest corner, they found a vendor selling brown sugar, but it was very expensive. Several people were haggling with him, but he wouldn't lower the price. It seemed that scarcity drove up the price, and he was taking advantage of the fact that no one was buying it to charge an exorbitant four yuan per pound.
However, they couldn't outmaneuver those bargaining old ladies. They managed to get the price down to three yuan, and in the end, several people shared the pound of brown sugar.
It seems this item is quite valuable; the goods I brought out were indeed the best-selling.
Tang Baozhu didn't want to stay in the black market for too long, so he didn't sell the sugar at too high a price. He found an open space, laid out an oilcloth, and placed the packets of brown sugar on the oilcloth.
Worried that others might not know what's inside, I opened a package and took it out to show everyone.
This stuff truly lives up to its reputation as a bestseller. At this time of year, brown sugar is in short supply, and many families think of preparing a bag of it for postpartum women. As soon as it was taken out, it quickly gathered around a crowd of people.
How much is this brown sugar?
"One pack weighs one jin (500g), and it costs three yuan per jin. No bargaining. Buy now if you want."
Although she had said she wouldn't haggle, those old women still hoped to get a discount. Tang Baozhu simply pretended not to hear them, and for some of them who wouldn't haggle, she paid them directly.
The old ladies who were bargaining watched as the brown sugar became increasingly scarce. Although they didn't lose a single penny, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and buy a pack so that others wouldn't buy it all.
After buying the items, they kept muttering to themselves. Perhaps because they hadn't lost a single penny, they felt a lack of accomplishment and were just venting their frustrations. I pretended not to hear them.
As an old monster who has lived for so long, I look at those old women's ages as if they were little girls, so I don't get angry at all.
In less than half an hour, they sold all 50 bags of brown sugar, which weighed about 50 kilograms.
I sold them for 150 yuan each, which was three yuan a pack. I felt that was enough for me, since I rarely need money anyway.
After selling his goods, he left the black market immediately. When no one was around, he quickly ripped off the small cloth covering his face, thinking that no one would notice him.
Passing by a supply and marketing cooperative on the way, I was a bit curious about this place, so I went inside. They had quite a lot of things, mostly southern specialties. I figured the northern specialties would be sold out quickly here.
Tang Baozhu suddenly realized that she hadn't paid attention to where she had been sent to the countryside. She quickly tried to recall, and realized, oh, it was in the north.
That's alright. I've been to the northernmost part of the small world before, so there's no need to worry about not being able to stand that kind of weather.
I took a quick look around inside and it seemed like everything was available in the space. After looking at the things inside the supply and marketing cooperative, I left.
As for the glares from the sales clerks at the supply and marketing cooperative, they simply ignored them. At that moment, all the sales clerks acted arrogantly.
For a salesperson in this era, having a formal job is indeed quite impressive, so it's normal for them to be arrogant.
I wandered around for a while, but the city felt the same as cities from previous years, with no difference. It didn't seem very interesting, so I went back soon after.
When I got home, I saw that it was still early, so I took out all the change. There were 150 yuan in total, with the largest denomination being ten yuan and the smallest denomination being one or two cents.
After counting the money, I put it directly into my spatial storage; this amount of money was enough for my own expenses.
Thinking about life after going to the countryside, I can tell from my memory that the living conditions were not good at all. It was a dilapidated house left by someone else's family who had died out. We had to repair it ourselves, and several people lived in one room.
There's also that burly man living in the cowshed. Tang Baozhu thinks she needs to figure out how to treat him. If he's too bad, then forget it. If he's alright, then she can make do with him.
As for any extra merit, take it if you can, and don't complain even if it's little. If you really can't get it, then forget about it.
