She turned around and whispered to Su Qing, "Sister, you can just call me Aunt Tian. She is Aunt Zhao. I want to ask if you can sell this grain to us. Don't worry, the price will be the same as on the black market. We won't rip you off."
Su Qing looked embarrassed. "Well, I can't find my aunt either. If I carry it back like this, my mother will scold me. I can only bear the pain and sell it to you."
As he spoke, Su Qing followed the two of them into a small courtyard.
"Big sister, what kind of food do you have?
"Fifty kilograms of wheat flour, ten kilograms of brown sugar, and fifty eggs." After saying this, Su Qing opened the contents of the backpack.
When the two saw that the flour and brown sugar looked much better than those on the black market, they began to ask about the price.
"Flour is 70 cents a pound, and brown sugar is 1 yuan a pound. If you have a ticket, you can get 20 cents off. Eggs are 20 cents each, 30 cents for two. It's the same price whether you have a ticket or not."
There wasn't much food, and for a large family of two, this little bit of food wouldn't last them long. So they ate it all themselves without asking anyone else.
In the end, I earned sixty yuan and two cloth coupons. In that era, sixty yuan was a lot of money.
When Su Qing left, he did not forget to ask the two for the address of the black market.
Aunt Tian sent Su Qing to the gate and told the security guard that Su Qing was her eldest niece and that she could just go in directly next time.
In this way, Su Qing obtained a stable sales channel and felt very happy.
Seeing that no one was around, Aunt Tian whispered to Su Qing, "Sister, if you have anything good in the future, come find me. If I'm not here, go find Aunt Zhao. She lives across the street from me."
Su Qing said goodbye to Aunt Tian and went to several other housing estates in the same way.
In the end, I made a total of 480 yuan, as well as some cloth and meat coupons.
After disguising himself, Su Qing headed straight for the black market.
I bought two cans of milk powder, a bar of soap, a can of tooth powder, four toothbrushes, five towels, two enamel basins, five enamel cups, a small iron pot, a thermos, some bowls and plates, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, a piece of defective cloth, three pens and three notebooks. I spent seventy or eighty dollars on the money I just received before I could even warm it up. I can't help but sigh that money can't be spent without effort.
