The next day, Chu Xi got up early at around four o'clock. He planned to go to the black market in the county. He heard that the black market opens quite early.
Put the child directly into the space bedroom and continue sleeping, letting Xiao Ai watch him.
She washed herself up, disguised herself, took out the cosmetics she used in the apocalypse, and with a little makeup, she turned into a middle-aged woman with dark skin and a yellow complexion. With her shabby clothes, she looked like a rural woman. You have to know that her years of experience in disguising herself in the apocalypse is no joke.
We ate something quick and set off. Fortunately, I had been to the county when I was an educated youth, so I knew the way. The only problem was that there were no ox carts available at that time.
We set off directly with light luggage, which is a good opportunity to exercise.
As for teleportation, forget it. Energy recovery is not easy, so don’t waste it.
He just pushed out a bicycle and groped his way for half an hour before arriving at the county town. With a quick scan with his mental power and a look at the sneaky person at the entrance of the alley, he knew where the black market was.
In an alley further back, not next to the main road, it is quite hidden, with dark stalls set up along both sides of the alley.
He walked back into the shadows, took out his big backpack, put two rabbits, two pheasants, ten pounds of corn, ten pounds of rice and thirty eggs in it, covered it with a rag, and walked slowly over.
"Buying or selling?" The two people on guard didn't pay much attention to her clothes. They knew she was a country woman from the countryside, probably selling something for money.
When I heard that they were selling goods, they directly charged 10 cents. You should know that 10 cents is a lot of money at that time, and you can buy 4 steamed buns.
But Chu Xi had no money. She had mountains of jewelry, tons of gold and silver, and a whole house full of banknotes from various countries in the future that she had collected just to satisfy her addiction to being rich, but she didn't dare to take them out.
So she took out an egg from her backpack and handed it to the young man. The young man was stunned and took it. This egg cost 20 cents.
Chu Xi walked straight in carrying the backpack.
The black market is two alleys intersecting at a cross. Everyone consciously abides by the rules here. After all, everyone comes here to exchange some money or food. There is no need to make trouble for money and the black market organizers.
In other words, the situation is better now. I heard that the black market was usually located in a large, closed courtyard, and you could only enter with an introduction from an acquaintance.
After observing it for a while and listening to the price secretly, I felt relieved when I felt that it was about the same as what I estimated.
Following suit, I found a place to set up my stall and took out a small portion of the items as samples. If I took out all the items, it would be too conspicuous.
"Hey, we have pheasants and rabbits. How much are they for, sister?" Soon, a middle-aged man squatted down.
"The rabbits and pheasants are caught with tongs at night. They are still hot and absolutely fresh. Look. They are both 90 cents per pound, and 60 cents if you have a ticket."
Yes, Chu Xi's wild animals were all knocked unconscious and put directly into the space. It wasn't long since they were taken out. They were equivalent to having just died, so their body temperature was basically normal.
The man's family hadn't seen meat for a long time, and his children had been clamoring for meat these days. Unfortunately, he had no meat coupons, so he came to the black market early to try his luck. Unexpectedly, he really found it.
"The pheasant is beautiful, but it's not very meaty. The rabbit is a bit heavy..."
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and then asked for a rabbit. He planned to improve the food, provide nutrition for the children, and also send a bowl to his mother.
This should be a well-off family.
I borrowed the scale from the old man next to me and it cost 5.40 yuan for 5 jin (approximately 6 liang). The man didn't hesitate and paid directly. The first deal was done.
Looking at the bills in his hand, Chu Xi sighed a little, wondering how long it would take to save enough money to buy a house.
Thinking about the sky-high prices of houses that would be hyped up in the future, he wanted to buy a few houses quickly, and even had the opportunity to buy houses in Kyoto and Haishi. Of course, he also wanted to get away from those extremely wealthy family members as soon as possible.
But the current situation does not allow this. There are very few private transactions of houses, and most of the houses in big cities are public rental houses. Private homeowners are ordered to hand over their private houses to the public, and then the state rents them to workers, and only a small portion of the rent is given to the original owner.
Eggs were 0.20 yuan each, no ticket required; refined flour was 0.40 yuan per pound, 0.60 yuan without a ticket; refined rice was 0.50 yuan with a ticket, 0.70 yuan without a ticket; and meat was 0.90 yuan. Thus began the first black market trade.
Her rice and flour were all reserve grains from her previous life, and even military rations. They all had very high quality requirements and could definitely be considered high-quality products in this era.
Basically, they are sold at this price and sold out very quickly.
Finally, I specially left two eggs for the old man next to me who wanted to borrow a scale, in return I received a lot of thanks.
If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him one yard;
If someone destroys me a grain of rice, I will take away three bushels of rice.
