Chapter 469: A Victory
"All the meat is sold out. Go early tomorrow."
A man in a blue coat walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, shouted to the long queue, then turned around and ran back because he was afraid of the cold. He closed the door, and the customers who didn't buy meat kicked the door in anger.
"He has sold all the meat he saved up with the meat coupons?"
"Did he go through the back door? I just saw someone leaving through the back door carrying something."
"It takes two days to kill a pig. Isn't this cheating? At least we have to make dumplings for the children and the elderly during the New Year!"
Those who didn't buy meat were talking about it, while Lu Sihui ran to the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative and found a big sack. It looked quite torn and had holes in it, some of which were as big as fists!
Holding the sack, she hid in an empty alley. She took out a dozen pieces of meat from the space capsule, put them in the sack, found a secluded place to put them, and then walked out of the alley.
She only looked for women and those who looked like ordinary people, whom she had just observed.
"Big sister, I have meat. I don't need a meat ticket. It's one dollar a pound. Do you want some?"
Her voice was very low, and I couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman through the collar?
"You have meat? Don't fool me, kid."
The woman lowered her voice very low. Several relatives came to her house today! If there is meat, it would be a good thing.
"My father killed a wild boar. My grandmother is sick and needs money for treatment. I will charge you nine dollars for ten pounds. I just ask you not to tell anyone."
Lu Sihui lowered her voice and threw out bait in order to successfully complete the deal.
At that time, pork was one yuan per pound, but you had to have a meat ticket. The money was easy to deal with, but the meat tickets had to be distributed by the factory.
It is very difficult for unemployed people to get it, but when the woman heard that it did not require meat coupons and could be cheaper, her eyes lit up.
"How much do you have? I want thirty pounds."
She gestured with her fingers. To outsiders, it seemed that the two of them were whispering to each other.
"Okay, follow me. You have to get the things to hold the meat yourself. I don't have any."
Lu Sihui was happy when she heard this. Thirty kilograms for twenty-seven yuan, a great success!
She sold 100 kilograms of pork using this method, and moved to another place after each sale. She didn't dare to stay for long.
It would be troublesome if someone found out.
"Where is it?"
Just as she was about to leave the alley, she heard a noisy sound of footsteps on the snow. It sounded very urgent, and a man was asking questions in a low voice. Alarm bells rang in her heart, and she dodged and hid in the space capsule.
Almost the moment she entered, several men wearing red armbands rushed into the alley, each with a stern look in their eyes, as if they were there to catch a thief.
"She was here just now! My wife bought thirty pounds of meat from her, and when she left, she saw the boy asking someone to go in and buy meat!"
A man wearing a blue coarse cotton jacket and a dog-skin hat, who looked to be in his forties, wore glasses and looked gentle and refined.
But this is not a good idea. He actually went to report it?
"It can't run far. Look for it nearby."
The men cursed unwillingly. This was a good opportunity to make a contribution. Not only could they catch the speculators, but they could also get pork, killing two birds with one stone.
Lu Sihui sat comfortably in the space capsule like a free and easy crane, watching these people running around like headless flies.
They even went into the houses in the alley and searched thoroughly, as if they were determined to find her even if it meant digging three feet underground.
This is a difficult problem. How can she get out when these people are guarding here?
"I have a plan. We can wait and see. This man must be in the alley. My wife is watching him. He hasn't gone out. Let's hide. He will come out when he sees that there is no one around."
The woman's husband came up with a bad idea. Lu Sihui narrowed her eyes and looked at him. So bad? It would be unfair to him if she didn't deal with him.
