Chapter 22 Black Market Deal



When Zhang Anan saw the big happy character, her face suddenly turned red and she quickly lowered her head.

"Is this all you want?" Lu Ming asked again as she lowered her head.

"Yes, this is it," Zhang Anan nodded without raising his head.

Lu Ming didn't say anything else and asked the salesperson to get a comb. He then paid the bill under Zhang Anan's shocked gaze.

The family walked around the entire supply and marketing cooperative, carefully examining every counter. By the time they came out, the sun had already appeared in the west.

"Are we going back like this?" Zhang Anan felt a little tired. She didn't feel sleepy when she was strolling just now, but now that she relaxed, she felt sleepy immediately.

"Dad, I'm sleepy, let's go to sleep," Lu Chenhao pulled Lu Ming's trouser leg and shook it.

Lu Ming saw that the children all looked tired. Fortunately, he had foresight, otherwise his family would not know how to get through it. Although his space had changed and people could enter, he himself did not figure it out clearly and did not dare to take them in rashly.

"It's getting late, and there's no car to go back. Let's stay in a hotel. I asked the captain for a letter of introduction."

Lu Ming took them directly to the hotel.

"Okay, you should take a rest too!" Lu Ming coaxed the children to sleep and saw that Zhang Anan was still trying hard to stay awake.

"I'm not used to sleeping like this. Can I change it?" Zhang Anan pointed at the snow-white sheets and quilt covers.

"Okay, do you have it with you?" Lu Ming didn't expect that she actually had mysophobia.

"Yes, I don't want to take it out, so give me a set." Zhang Anan didn't want to take her own and asked Lu Ming for it directly. She mainly didn't want to get her own dirty and didn't want to wash it.

"Haha, you're so silly. Here you go," Lu Ming was amused by her and directly gave her a light blue pure cotton three-piece suit.

"whee"

"You take a rest! I'll go out for a walk, you come and close the door," Lu Ming wanted to go to the black market in the county town to have a look and exchange more money. He didn't want to go to the black market too often in the future, as something bad would happen if he went there too often.

"Then how will you get back then?"

"I might be away for a long time. I'll talk to you when I come back. Don't worry! I'll knock on the door when I come back." Lu Ming suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the face before quickly walking out.

"You hooligan, you always bully me," Zhang Anan shyly covered her cheek that was kissed and stomped her feet, slamming the door that Lu Ming had just stepped out of.

Lu Ming knew that she was a little angry and embarrassed. Fortunately, he walked quickly, otherwise he would have been hit on the head.

Lu Ming found a place to enter the space and changed his clothes. He also applied a layer of foundation on his face, used eye shadow to thicken his eyebrows, and drew some spots and other things.

"Hehe, your skills are pretty good," Lu Ming looked at himself in the mirror, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, and praised himself narcissistically.

Using a backpack as cover, he followed some people through twists and turns and arrived at a secluded place.

Seeing that the people in front had paid, Lu Ming followed suit. He guessed that the people who collected the money were helping them to keep an eye on him.

When I walked in and took a look, I saw that everyone was squatting quietly in a place they found themselves. Some of them had people asking questions in front of them, so I guess they were the buyers.

Lu Ming also found a place to squat down and took out some rice from the space to make a sample.

At this time, a young man came forward and asked, "Uncle, what can you buy here?"

Lu Ming lowered his voice and replied in a low voice, "Rice, flour, meat, and eggs." The last three items were added temporarily by Lu Ming after he saw him. He also used his consciousness to get some from the space and put them into the backpack.

Hearing Lu Ming's words, the young man's eyes lit up instantly and he pulled his arm.

"What, uncle, how many do you have? I want them all. How much is the price?" He became a little incoherent.

"Don't get excited," Lu Ming saw that he was making a lot of noise and someone was looking at them, so he quickly comforted him.

Although he made several attempts at selling rice in the commune, he only sold rice, and the other party deliberately gave him a high price. Later, he specifically inquired and found out that rice, flour and the like were all priced at more than one cent, but could be doubled on the black market.

The price of pork is generally around 80 yuan or 1.2 yuan, and it is higher on the black market.

Eggs cost between 60 and 80 cents.

At this time, prices are low and wages are low.

The average monthly salary for a normal city worker is around 30 to 40 yuan.

In addition, buying things now requires not only money but also tickets.

You need grain coupons to buy grain, and you need meat coupons to buy meat.

It’s not enough to have money without tickets.

"Rice and flour are 10 cents per pound, eggs are 60 cents, and meat is 1 yuan per pound. I don't want any other tickets, just industrial coupons, or old items will do."

After hearing Lu Ming's quotation, the young man calmed down and knew that he had not quoted a price, and it was not more expensive than the normal supply.

"Uncle, I want all the money you have."

"Are you sure? I'm afraid you can't finish it?" Lu Ming wanted to produce a large batch. He didn't have enough time for small-scale operations. Large-scale operations would easily cause trouble. He only did it a few times a year, and it was estimated that it would be traced back to him.

The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle, can you tell me the approximate number? I'll see if I can finish it. If not, I'll go find my friends."

"Is your friend reliable? I don't want anything to go wrong," Lu Ming didn't want to cause any trouble.

“Not all of them are reliable.”

"There are 10,000 kilograms of rice and flour, 2,000 kilograms of meat regardless of cuts, and 1,000 eggs. These are all estimates. I want to settle it all at once. This is a sample for you. Take it back and show it to them, then come back to me. I'll be waiting for you when the time comes," Lu Ming stuffed a bag into his hand.

"Uncle, wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon."

Lu Ming packed up his backpack. He planned to buy some living things. He had not taken good care of the space. Before leaving, the system said it had a surprise for them. He took a quick look at it but didn't see anything, so he ignored it. Zhang Anan didn't say there was any problem with her space.
