Chapter 49 Black Market]
"A-choo!"
Ye Qingyue had just finished washing up and was about to ask Ye Feng to go wash up when she suddenly sneezed.
"Sister, do you have a cold?"
Ye Feng followed the sound.
Ye Qingyue shook her head and took two steps to the backyard, feeling the night breeze and dispelling the heat from her body.
She looked at the bright moonlight, her heart moved, and she suddenly laughed out loud.
"They should have received the 'surprise' I sent tonight, right?"
Dishonest and dirty men should solve the problem from the "root"!
Thinking of the newlyweds, they could only sit on the bed and stare at each other, suspecting that it was the other's problem.
Ye Qingyue asked her to cut half a watermelon for her, and she wanted to watch the most lively couple fighting scenes and eat the sweetest watermelon.
...
Early the next morning, Ye Qingyue went to the health center.
"Qingyue, you are lucky. A nurse from the emergency department of the hospital is going to be transferred, and her position will be vacant soon."
When Doctor Wang saw her, he smiled and came to announce the good news, "I recommended you to my cousin. He knew that you saved Dabao, and he was very confident in your ability, so he went directly to the dean and got you a temporary worker status."
The recruitment of doctors must wait for official approval before a quota can be given.
However, as the dean and the director of the emergency department, he still has the power to recruit temporary workers.
"The hospital is short of staff, especially the emergency department."
Doctor Wang said, "Next week, after the nurse is transferred, you can report to the hospital."
"Thank you, Doctor Wang."
Ye Qingyue asked again, "What does your cousin like? I want to buy some gifts, and I also need him to find a job for me this time."
This time, Doctor Wang did not refuse, after all, it was a favor from his cousin.
"My cousin has no other hobbies, he just likes to drink a little wine."
Doctor Wang said, "You don't have to buy him too good, just buy something casually at the vegetable market."
Everyone has experienced hardships, and they will praise things that smell of alcohol, so why would they be picky?
"Okay."
Ye Qingyue nodded, "I'm just going to the county town to buy some food for my family, and I'll buy some wine by the way. Please ask Dr. Wang to send it to your cousin." After
saying goodbye to Dr. Wang, Ye Qingyue took the backpack she brought from home and walked towards the county town.
"Ye Qingyue?"
On the other side of the river, Ye Fang, who was packing up and preparing to go out to settle accounts with Ye Qingyue, saw her, "She's going to the county town so early in the morning?"
Ye Fang immediately thought that Ye Qingyue had just extorted three hundred yuan from his family.
With such a huge sum of money, how could he not go to the county town to have fun?
Ye Fang was jealous and resentful. Ye Qingyue was living a really happy life now, spending her family's money and hooking up with her man!
Thinking of this, Ye Fang disliked Ye Qingyue even more and hurriedly chased after her. There
was just a river between them, and the bridge was quite far away. When Ye Fang crossed the river, she could no longer see Ye Qingyue.
"You bastard, you run away so fast!"
Ye Fang stamped her feet in anger, but she already knew that Ye Qingyue was going to the county town.
It's a small place, you can always run into him!
So she hurried towards the county town.
...
Ye Qingyue arrived in the county town and went straight to the vegetable market.
She could pick vegetables from Xu Juan's house. She only bought some seasonings and went to the pork stall to pick meat.
Nowadays, everyone is short of food and clothing. Most people are pale and thin and lack oil and water, so fatty meat is the most popular, while lean meat and ribs are not very popular.
These are all Ye Qingyue's favorites.
She cut a few pounds of meat, picked two ribs and a leg bone, and asked the stall owner to chop them.
The Ye family used to be very harsh on the eldest wife, and neither the adults nor the children had good food.
Ye Qingyue is already seventeen years old, but she is only just over 1.6 meters tall. Considering her mother's tall stature, her genes must be good.
It's just that she lacks calcium and nutrition.
In her previous life, after she went to college, her tutor always complained about her being thin, saying that a major operation would last for more than ten or even dozens of hours, and she, a little bean sprout, would probably collapse in the operating room halfway!
The little old lady tutor was hard on the outside but soft on the inside. While complaining, she would occasionally give her meat and fruit to eat.
Ye Qingyue, who had already grown up and had not grown for a long time, miraculously grew several centimeters in four years of college under the feeding of her tutor.
Ye Qingyue made up her mind to supplement calcium and nutrition as soon as possible, and maybe she could grow taller than in her previous life.
In the future, when I examine Huo Qingchi, I won't have to pull him over with all my effort.
Hmm?
Ye Qingyue paused as she was putting the ribs into the basket. Why did she suddenly think of Huo Qingchi?
Perhaps it was the man's height that was so "outstanding among the crowd of chickens" that left a deep impression on her.
Ye Qingyue didn't take this little episode to heart, but went to the wine stalls in the vegetable market for a look.
They were all farmers' home-brewed wines, and the quality was not very good, and it would be too shabby to give them as gifts.
Hospital jobs, even temporary ones, are in high demand.
Doctor Wang's cousin was eager to help her, and Ye Qingyue was embarrassed to buy this kind of mixed wine.
She wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some higher-end wine, but she didn't have a wine ticket.
Although after the reform and opening up in 1978, the ticket system for purchasing with tickets was abolished in the country.
However, this is not something that can be accomplished all at once, so in the end it was chosen to be implemented step by step.
Ye Qingyue remembered that in her previous life, it was not until 1993 that tickets were basically discontinued throughout the country.
Now that the reform and opening up has only been a year, many things in the small county where Ye Qingyue lives still require tickets.
Without a wine ticket, she can't buy good wine from the supply and marketing cooperative.
But this doesn't bother Ye Qingyue. If
you can't buy wine through regular channels, isn't there still a black market?
Now that reform and opening up have just begun, many things still need to be purchased with tickets.
However, you don't need tickets to buy things in the black market, which is convenient for many residents.
The black market existed until the 1980s, let alone now?
Ye Qingyue knew that her appearance was eye-catching, so she first bought a big straw hat in the vegetable market.
After paying, she stuffed a dime into the old lady selling the straw hat and asked her the location of the black market.
The old lady quickly took the ticket and whispered a few words to Ye Qingyue.
Ye Qingyue noted the location and left the vegetable market.
"Finally I caught you!"
In the market, Ye Fang saw Ye Qingyue carrying a basket in the crowd, "What is she holding? What an ugly straw hat!"
Ye Fang looked down on Ye Qingyue and tried to squeeze through the crowd.
Unexpectedly, the stall owner behind her shouted, "My relative's ox died in childbirth this morning. Fresh beef from slaughter! Selling cheap!"
When passers-by heard this, they rushed to the stall.
Beef is a rare commodity now, and with the phrase "sell cheap", everyone rushed over with the mentality of asking the price without losing money.
Ye Fang wanted to chase Ye Qingyue, but was pushed further and further away by the surging crowd...
Watching Ye Qingyue disappear from her sight, the crowd still hugged her, and Ye Fang screamed in annoyance, "Ah!!!
She was so angry!!!
Why did everyone have to go against her?!
"...
On the other hand, Ye Qingyue asked someone to buy a piece of old cloth, and put it and a straw hat in a backpack.
The largest black market in the county is in a complicated alley in the west of the city.
When Ye Qingyue arrived nearby, she draped the old cloth over her body so that people could not see her figure.
She covered her head with a big straw hat and covered her face with a handkerchief.
Well, if it was at night, she would definitely be caught as a thief!
Complaining about himself in his heart, Ye Qingyue walked into the dark alley where the black market was located.
