Chu Tian thought about it and took out several more national food coupons from his pocket, and handed them to him along with two hundred yuan that he had saved.
"My dear brother, they say a poor family can bring a rich road ahead. I know grandma gave you three hundred yuan, but when you go to pick up your uncle and the others later, you'll probably have to spend a lot of money. Take these two hundred yuan and these national food coupons!"
Chu Jie looked at the money and tickets in his hand in surprise, "I..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the sound of a horn from the station notifying passengers to enter the station for ticket checking. Chu Tian quickly locked his bicycle and hurriedly urged Chu Jie while picking up the bag on the ground.
"Brother Jie, don't blame me, it's just you. Money is something outside of our body. We can always find ways to earn more after we spend it. If you feel bad about it, you can just pay me back when you are stable in the future..."
"All right."
What could Chu Jie do? He could only follow him obediently towards the station entrance. The train station wasn't so strict these days, so Chu Tian was able to take Chu Jie to the train, find a seat, arrange all the luggage, and get off the train three minutes before departure.
Chu Tian stood at the window outside the train and kept reminding him, "Brother Jie, be careful on the road. When you come back, just like when you and grandma came here, write me a letter in advance and specify the day you will come so that we can pick you up..."
At this time, the train had already started to move. Chu Jie leaned over the window, facing outwards, and waved at Chu Tian who was running after the train. "Okay, I got it. Go back quickly!"
Chu Tian slowly stopped and watched the train go farther and farther away. Until the rear of the train disappeared from his sight, he slowly walked out of the station.
Chu Tian got on his bicycle and thought to himself that it was so hard to come to the city, wouldn’t it be a big loss if he just went back like this?
I always hear Li Gang say that the black market in the city is large and the things are expensive, but he has never been there. This time he is here and no one is following him. If he doesn't go there, wouldn't it be a waste of the opportunity to come to the city?
In the city, the black market is either near the train station or near residential areas. The black market near the train station usually has a large flow of people, and most of them are doing business with one person at a time, while the black market near the residential area prefers to do business with familiar faces.
Choosing between the two, Chu Tian planned to go to the black market at the train station, which had a large flow of people and accepted unfamiliar faces. He rode his bicycle around the three-kilometer radius of the train station and found the entrance to the black market after two circles. Standing at a distance and observing for a long time, Chu Tian found that the black market in the city was indeed much larger than the black market in the regiment.
In less than half an hour, at this point in time, there were no less than 20 people coming in and out, which is really a lot...
After all, the best time for black market business is usually in the morning.
During the half hour Chu Tian observed people, he not only looked at the number of people coming in and out, but also looked at their clothes and complexion. Just by observing these, Chu Tian knew that these people were not short of money, at least they were richer than the people in the regiment.
He found a deserted place and slipped into the space. Following the disguise taught by Xu Fei, Chu Tian disguised himself thoroughly. Then he got a lot of packaged baby milk powder, elderly milk powder, pregnant milk powder, unpacked noodles, and gold coin-shaped chocolates and other rare items in this era from the space.
"Sell? Or buy?"
Chu Tian, "Sell!"
The other party uttered two words crisply, "One cent!"
Chu Tian heard this and took out a dime and handed it to the person at the entrance of the black market without moving his eyebrows. He thought to himself, no wonder Li Gang said that things on the black market in the city are expensive. How can this not be expensive? The sellers all charge a dime when they come in. It's twice as expensive as the group market...
If I don’t sell it at a higher price, can I make back the entry money?
"Hey, Brother Cheng, how about it? Can you get some milk powder?"
"No, those are rare items. They're not even available at the supply and marketing cooperatives. Even people like you who run around everywhere can't get them. How can I get them?"
"Oh, what should I do? My nephew has no milk to drink..."
"How about you go to the milk station and get some milk for your nephew?"
"No, I tried it, but he got diarrhea after drinking it. I went to the hospital to see a doctor, and the doctor said that not everyone can drink milk. For example, children under one year old should not drink fresh milk. It is better to drink milk powder!"
"this···"
"Brother Cheng, please help me find out more. It doesn't matter if I spend more money. My sister only has this child. If something happens to him, I will feel so sorry for my sister..."
"Oh, okay, okay, I'll ask someone else."
After saying that, the man left. Chu Tian stood in the corner and kept observing the young man who wanted milk powder. He thought to himself that it was like a pillow was delivered while he was dozing off. He was just thinking about who to sell his milk powder to, and now he has found a candidate.
"Hey brother, do you want milk powder?"
The man who had originally looked dejected immediately showed a look of surprise on his face. He pulled Chu Tian to a corner and asked in a low voice, "Brother, can you get some milk powder? Is it milk powder for children?"
Chu Tian nodded, "Yes."
The man asked excitedly, "How many are there? I want them all!"
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, "You want all of them? You don't even ask the price?"
The man waved his hand nonchalantly, "Price is not an issue. As long as they have the goods, I'm willing to pay any price!"
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then I'm afraid you can't afford it!"
The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Impossible! How much goods can you possibly have? Even if you fill your backpack to the brim, how much money can you possibly have?"
Chu Tian smiled slightly and did not argue with him. Instead, he took out a bag of milk powder he had packed from his backpack and said, "This bag is half a pound. How many bags do you want?"
The man thought for a moment and asked, "How long does one bag last?"
Chu Tian thought about his son's intake and said tentatively, "It depends on how old he is. It also depends on whether he drinks formula alone or mixed with breast milk. If he drinks formula alone, a half-pound bag of formula can last a four or five-month-old baby four or five days at most. For a younger child, it would only last six or seven days, right? I'm not sure. It also depends on whether the child can eat it..."
The man immediately asked, "How much do you have now? How did you sell it?"
Chu Tian thought about how many bags he had just packed, and then he said, "I have twenty bags now, eight yuan a bag. If you have any special tickets, it can be cheaper."
The man nodded without hesitation and said, "I want them all. I have a watch ticket, do you want it?"
He thought about the twenty bags of milk powder. Even if one bag could only last for five days, six bags would be needed in a month. Twenty bags could last for more than three months. He should be able to buy milk powder during these three months. Even if he couldn't, his nephew would be four or five months old. By then, he could feed him rice soup, which was better than letting him starve now.
