As soon as she sat down, the older sister carrying the child came to her.
The woman's face was as pale as a ghost and her voice was trembling.
"Sister, do you have food for the children? I, I'll buy it with money."
Most things on the black market don’t require tickets, but the prices are several times higher.
Rice at the grain station is 1.2 yuan per pound, here is 30 yuan, flour is 1.5 yuan, here is 32 yuan.
Soybean oil is 82 cents outside, but 2 yuan here.
Eggs are relatively scarce. Outside they cost 60 cents per pound, but here they sell for up to 5 yuan. If you think they are too expensive, you can buy them by the number, at 80 cents each.
It's ridiculous, but it's a rare commodity and in short supply.
Sangzhi was up so early today, but she was in a good mood. Why? After finding out the location of the black market last night, she only had 200 merit points left.
According to the system rules and considering the current price level, her merit points can only be exchanged for items worth twenty yuan.
But after Sangzhi exchanged all the merit points, he actually had 128 yuan!
In other words, the 120 merit points that I unexpectedly gained two days ago were not exchanged at a ten-to-one ratio according to the system, but at a one-to-one ratio.
How could this not make her ecstatic.
After calming down, she wanted to know more whether Jiang Yan was the one who brought the special thing.
Someone was doing business, and Sangzhi's beautiful eyes curved up. She opened the cloth bag to let people see what was inside.
In the firefly-like light of the street lamp, the woman's eyes widened in surprise!
Where did this woman get the connections? There were eggs, noodles wrapped in red paper, and milk powder in her pocket!
The so-called milk substitute powder is a mixture of soybean powder, rice powder and a small amount of milk powder.
Milk powder is almost unavailable these days, and even substitutes like milk powder are mostly supplied to internal staff.
It is no exaggeration to say that buying milk substitute is like saving the child's life.
The woman originally wanted to buy some whole grains, eggs and the like, but when she saw the milk substitute, her whole face burst into joy.
She frantically took out the loose bills wrapped in a handkerchief and asked anxiously, "How much is a can?
I'll buy as many as I can get."
After my husband died, although the army gave him a pension, his comrades also raised a lot of money.
But there are always unexpected things in life. My mother-in-law can't stop taking medicine, and my son fell ill again last month, which cost a lot of money.
Almost all of the money was spent on renovating the house.
She is malnourished and has no milk, so she has been feeding her daughter rice porridge recently.
But the five-month-old baby seemed to know that she was fooling him, and kept his mouth tightly shut, refusing to drink.
I cried like a kitten these past two days, but today I couldn't cry at all.
She was almost worried to death.
The woman waited anxiously for the answer.
A bag of milk powder weighs about one pound, and it costs ten yuan even with a ticket. How much would it cost on the black market?
The lesbian's headscarf was blown open by the night wind, revealing her face as white as jade. Her sparkling eyes were the most outstanding, with the corners of her eyes slightly tilted, revealing an indescribable brightness.
The brown paper bag was handed to me with both hands.
There was a hint of laughter in her voice.
"Ten dollars a bag."
at the same time.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 merit points."
