Chapter 72: Selling goods from street to street



Yi Xiaoqiu's eyes curved, like a simple and honest young man, and he lowered his voice and whispered: "Flour, cornmeal, rice, eggs, chicken, and pork."

Last time, she ate the pig by herself for more than half a month, and there was still half of the pork left. She was really tired of it and planned to sell some of it.

The aunt didn't pay any attention to the androgynous voice. She just heard so much food and meat, and she got excited and grabbed her.

"How do you sell it? Young man, put the basket down for me to see. If it's not much, I can buy it all for you."

"Flour costs 40 cents with a coupon, 0.00 without a coupon. Cornmeal costs 10 cents, 2.00 without a coupon. Pork costs 1 yuan per pound, 1.00 without a coupon. Hens cost 1 yuan per pound, 1.00 without a coupon. Eggs cost 0.00 per pound, 8.00 without a coupon. I only have one chicken. I took 10 pounds of everything else. Auntie, I don't want any food coupons."

The two of them were talking in low voices like thieves.

These things were all produced on her farm, so there was no point in having these tickets. Of course, if there were other industrial tickets or something, she would definitely exchange them.

The old lady was a little dissatisfied that eggs were too expensive.

Although eggs are expensive on the surface, black eggs cannot be sold at a high price. After all, they are more expensive than a pound of pork, so people would rather save up meat coupons to buy pork.

After the final round of bargaining, the eggs were 70 cents per pound.

Yi Xiaoqiu was talking so much that he was thirsty, but he didn't sell any goods and just bargained for the price.

Fortunately, she asked for a high price, which gave the aunt some room to bargain. Otherwise, she would have run herself ragged and felt she was losing out even if she earned only a few cents.

Yi Xiaoqiu was already very proud of having one hundred and eighty small yellow croakers. She didn't care about even a few cents.

The two agreed on a price. The aunt didn't see much of the goods and was afraid of being snatched away, so she simply took Yi Xiaoqiu to her house.

My aunt lives in a tube-shaped building. When she goes upstairs and meets acquaintances, she says they are her cousins from the countryside.

There were many relatives around at this time, and no one suspected Yi Xiaoqiu.

After bringing Yi Xiaoqiu home, her aunt asked her to wait and went out to look for the sisters she knew.

The aunt lives on the third floor. There is a stove on the sidewalk at the door. It seems that she is cooking outside.

There are two rooms in the house. There is a dining table and a few chairs in the living room, which fills up the small living room.

To be honest, these accommodation conditions are not as spacious as a house in the countryside.

The aunt was very efficient. Within a few minutes, many people came into the small living room.

Yi Xiaoqiu looked at the things in the basket and wondered if they could be divided?

For a time, she became very popular in the eyes of the ladies.

As soon as they saw Yi Xiaoqiu take out the things, and then heard that they could buy them without tickets, several aunties wanted to grab them immediately. But it made sense, people could only save a few tickets in a month, and they would rather buy expensive food with the money they had and keep the tickets for their family expenses.

Yi Xiaoqiu only took one chicken from the farm, and for this chicken, the aunt almost fought with her best sister.

"Sister Liu, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, please give me your chicken!"

The aunt looked reluctant, but finally handed the chicken over with great reluctance.

This chicken weighed more than a kilogram. Yi Xiaoqiu calculated the kilograms for the aunt and the little sister, one yuan per kilogram, and sold the chicken for seven yuan.

The other items, such as white flour, corn, pork, etc., were sold for a total of ten yuan.

This trip I sold a total of more than 30 yuan plus three cloth coupons and two industrial coupons.

She wanted to sell more to her aunt and her sisters in one go, but the basket could only hold so many things, and she couldn't produce things out of thin air in front of everyone, so she had to give up.

Anyway, I'll go somewhere else and sell it anyway.

Auntie and her sisters divided up all the things, but they still felt unsatisfied.

The old lady was very enthusiastic when she saw her out, and said warmly: "Young man, come to me when you have goods in the future. I'm not exaggerating, I have the best relationship with people in this building. I will buy all the goods you bring!"

Yi Xiaoqiu grinned, revealing a row of small white teeth, and smiled innocently, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely come back to you when I have the goods!"

"Oh!" The aunt immediately smiled happily and sent Yi Xiaoqiu out.

After leaving the tube building, Yi Xiaoqiu did the same thing in several alleys, selling a lot of goods and accumulating some connections.

Her current status is that of an educated youth, and she has to go to the fields to earn work points every day. She cannot come to the town every day. It is a rare opportunity for her to come to the town, so Yi Xiaoqiu feels that she must make a concerted effort to sell more goods to make her trip worthwhile.

Yi Xiaoqiu found that live chickens were easy to sell, but eggs were considered expensive, so he mainly sold chickens, pork, rice, and noodles. After a short while, he had a small fortune in his pocket.

Yi Xiaoqiu felt very happy. Although she had been walking around for most of the day and her legs were a little thinner, she earned several months' salary in one day. If she could do this every day, the income would be quite touching.

Why hadn't she thought of this before? She even took the risk of running in the dark and was almost caught.

However, Yi Xiaoqiu did not regret that trip. If she had not made that trip, would she have been able to catch so many small yellow croakers!

Anyway, no one dislikes having too much money, so just one word: do it!

Seeing that it was still early, Yi Xiaoqiu carried his backpack and went to wander around the township health center.

Yi Xiaoqiu strolled around the township health center and found a dark spot in a not-so-conspicuous corner, where there was someone guarding it.

Yi Xiaoqiu looked at them from afar, her heart beating wildly.

Do you want to go to the black market?

What if she encounters the red armband team again? Will she have to escape in secret again?

Yi Xiaoqiu wondered if his little heart could withstand another dark escape.

In the end, the desire to make money prevailed.

People die for money, birds die for food, fuck it!

Yi Xiaoqiu shook the basket on his back, took a deep breath, and walked up to the guard.

Another dime was required to enter. Yi Xiaoqiu recalled that last time he went to the woods to rob a thief, he paid a dime but ended up selling nothing and was chased like a dog.

I hope that this time, I will have a little better luck and won’t encounter the red armband team again.

There weren't many black people around, and the whole alley was quite quiet. Bargaining had to be done in low voices, and everyone was nervous.

Yi Xiaoqiu came so late, and as soon as he walked in with the basket on his back, he attracted a lot of attention.

She found an extremely inconspicuous corner and squatted there, her heart pounding.

She felt that this dark place was not as safe as wandering the streets.

Yi Xiaoqiu became extremely alert, looking around with his deer-like eyes and listening carefully. He would run away immediately if he saw anything wrong.

If anything happens this time, she will be the first to run away!

Bah! Yi Xiaoqiu slapped himself. What are you thinking about? The store hasn't even opened yet, why are you still thinking about these things?

When the first customer came, Yi Xiaoqiu looked up and was so scared that his heart almost jumped out of his throat!

Oh my god, why are you fishing here again!

So unlucky!

Yi Xiaoqiu grabbed the basket and prepared to run away!
