Jiang Baige didn’t know whether there was such a thing as milk powder in this era. Even if there was, it would probably be difficult for ordinary people to buy it.
If it is sold too expensive, others may not be able to afford it. Ten yuan a pack should be within the acceptable range for others.
Ten yuan nowadays is equivalent to one to two hundred yuan in later generations. So, it should not be too expensive.
She was afraid that her elder sister still had concerns, so she said, "Sister, do you know about malted milk? It can be drunk by adults and children."
"But this milk powder is different. It's made specifically for children. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it now."
After hearing what the girl in front of her said, Guo Xiaofang pondered for a moment.
"Who doesn't know about malted milk? Not only is it expensive, but it's also hard to buy. I've been to the supply and marketing cooperative in this county several times, but I haven't even seen a trace of it."
"A packet of this milk powder costs ten yuan, and I don't know how long it will last. If I don't buy it now, it might be gone by the time I want to buy it."
After careful consideration, he said, "Okay, sister, I'll buy it."
Seeing that she didn't even check the goods, Jiang Baige smiled and said, "Sister, if you want to buy something, I naturally have to show you the goods. Do you have any warm water? Just pour half of it."
Guo Xiaofang hurriedly said, "Wait, I'll pour it for you."
Looking at her elder sister pouring hot water, Jiang Baige said again: "Elder sister, please get a spoon so I can teach you how to eat it later."
Guo Xiaofang was pouring water on the cupboard. When she heard that a spoon was needed, she took another spoon from the cupboard.
"Sister, do you think this water is enough?"
Guo Xiaofang held a bowl for eating and poured half a bowl of water into it.
Jiang Baige nodded, "Okay."
I took the bowl from my elder sister and felt that the water was a little hot.
She added, "Sister, this water is too hot. Normally, when making milk powder for children, warm water is enough. It's best to use warm water that is suitable for drinking."
"Big sister, remember this: only add four spoonfuls to a bowl of water like this. If you add more, the child will get a sore throat, and if you add less, it won't be nutritious."
"I'll give you a little to try so you don't waste the milk powder."
Guo Xiaofang listened attentively, her eyes fixed on her hands, and studied seriously.
Jiang Baige had already prepared the milk powder. "Sister, try it and see how it tastes."
Looking at the white soup in the bowl, Guo Xiaofang smiled. This is amazing. Just a little milk powder, but when mixed together it really looks like milk.
She took the bowl and took a sip, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Sister, this is delicious, really delicious."
Jiang Baige smiled and said, "With this, your baby won't be hungry."
"If she doesn't want to drink the porridge, you can stir some of it into the porridge for her. Children will definitely like it."
Guo Xiaofang responded, "Thank you, sister. You are really a beautiful and kind girl."
Jiang Baige felt a little embarrassed by what her elder sister said, "Sister, you are exaggerating. It's all for a living."
Guo Xiaofang looked at the milk powder on the table and felt a little embarrassed. "Sister, there aren't many in these two packs. Do you have any more?"
Jiang Baige was also in a dilemma! She thought, "My shoulder bag is not big. If I take out a few more bags, it will be a bit weird and unreasonable."
Guo Xiaofang continued, "Sister, just think of a way. If you have one, give me two bags."
Seeing that her elder sister didn't even look at the bag in her arms, she gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, I have two more bags here. Do you want both?"
Guo Xiaofang nodded, "Yes! Wait, I'll get the money for you."
Having said that, he rushed into the room.
After a while, he took out another handful of money and said, "Sister, count this money. I gave you the fifteen just now. Here are forty yuan."
Jiang Baige took the money and really started counting it.
These amounts range from one cent to ten dollars, and it doesn't take long to count them.
Guo Xiaofang asked, "Sister, what's your name?"
Jiang Baige replied, "Sister, my last name is Jiang, you can just call me Xiao Jiang."
Guo Xiaofang smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Jiang sister, you can call me Sister Guo from now on."
"By the way, sister, whenever you come to the county town, come and sit with me."
"If you have anything good, please bring it to me. As long as it doesn't require a ticket, I'll need it."
This was to make an appointment with her next time. Jiang Baige nodded quickly, "Okay, I will definitely come."
Thinking that she had been here for a while, Jiang Baige was anxious to leave.
Before leaving, Guo Xiaofang asked again: "Sister, I see you are capable. Can you get eggs and meat?"
"It's hard to buy meat in this county town. To be honest, I haven't seen meat in a long time."
This sounds quite pitiful, but most people are like this at this time. It is good enough to fill their stomachs, and they can't expect to have meat every meal.
Jiang Baige nodded. "I'll think of a way. I'll definitely send it to you when I have it. By the way, big sister, how much do you want? I'll see if I can do it."
Guo Xiaofang thought that she still had some money, and if she spent forty or fifty yuan to buy some meat and eggs, the man probably wouldn't say anything.
Then he said, "Sister, give me fifty dollars for this! Meat and eggs are fine."
"Is it fifty yuan?" Jiang Baige asked. "Do you want so much? Sister, it's getting hot now. It would be a shame if we don't finish it and it goes bad."
Guo Xiaofang smiled and said, "Sister, if you can't finish it, that's easy! I can pickle it with salt and eat it slowly later."
Jiang Baige smiled a little embarrassedly, "Yes! Why didn't I think of it?"
But she didn't agree on the spot because she was afraid that Sister Guo would think too much.
If you agree too early, people will think you already have these things.
She is right, but she also has to pretend that it is difficult to do so that she can do it for a long time.
When Jiang Baige left Sister Guo's house, she had a handful of Mao Zedong's banknotes in her pocket.
She didn't expect that such a thick stack of money was only worth more than 50 yuan. If it were in later generations, it would be worth several thousand to ten thousand yuan.
But she was still very happy. She made money and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.
If we sell more at one time and sell all the goods in the entire space, how much will it cost?
And you can replenish the stock, sell it after replenishing it, and restock it again after selling it. Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy.
Fortunately, when she left just now, she asked Sister Guo about the location of the black market, and she went straight to the black market as soon as she went out.
Sister Guo told her that the black market in the county town was at the last house on Wutong Street.
Jiang Baige followed the route told by Sister Guo and found it quickly without asking anyone else.
This Ms. Guo must be very familiar with the black market, otherwise how could she point it so accurately.
This black market is very inconspicuous. If it weren’t for the people living here, no one would notice this family at all.
She glanced outside the alley and saw no one nearby, so she raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.
According to what Sister Guo said, there were three consecutive sounds, two short and one long.
After the signal was given, someone secretly looked at the situation outside through the doorway. Seeing that it was a girl in ordinary clothes, he opened the door.
