Early the next morning, everyone had breakfast in the cafeteria again. Chen Xia took out 20 yuan from her pocket to Chen Chun.

"Sister, you will take your uncle and the others to Hangzhou today for fun."

Chen Chun didn't take the money and asked strangely: "Why don't you go out to play together?"

"This, I'm going to work in the Fourth Hospital soon. Uncle Ren from the infectious department said he would accept me as an apprentice, so I wanted to take this opportunity to go to Xinhua Bookstore to find out if there are any related medical books that can be bought and studied by myself. If it is too expensive, I will read books in Xinhua Bookstore for a day."

Chen Chun is a girl with insufficient social experience. When she heard Chen Xia finds this excuse, she thinks it is a good thing.

"Okay, it's a good thing for you to have this attitude of learning. You just need to go by yourself. I'll take Chen Dong and the others to play."

"Sister, take this money and buy them some delicious food. You know, we can't buy any delicious food in our countryside."

Seeing that his younger brother was so sensible, Chen Chun felt comforted, so he smiled and took the money, took the cheering Chen Dong and Chen Qiu's hand, and the fat uncle, went to the park to play together.

Chen Xia walked out of the university gate alone, gave out a deep breath, and smiled wickedly.

"Female donor, I'm here to bring you rice!"

Chen Xia is planning to sell rice. Are there any policy restrictions? Will he be arrested by the police or Chaoyang aunties? Will he be sent to the police station for speculation?

Chen Xia has already thought about it and thinks it shouldn't be.

In 1980, farmers should have been allowed to sell the agricultural products they produce from their homes.

Of course, you have to grasp the degree. If you say you get dozens of kilograms of rice from your own production, no one cares about you.

If you pull dozens of tons of rice in one go, you will definitely be caught.

The definition of speculation in this year is "to make profits by buying short selling, hoarding, buying and selling, etc.".

So as long as you do it carefully and don’t touch the bottom line, no one will make things difficult for a small farmer, right?

Since you can sell it, how to sell it is a problem, and it is very important to choose the right place.

If you go to the West Lake to sell, it will definitely not work, it is a tourist area. If you want to go to Wulin Square to sell, it will not work, as the aunts who buy vegetables here will not pass by.

So Chen Xia slowly looked around and looked for residential areas with a large population. These places have a concentrated population and a large demand for food, making it easy to take action.

Of course, the most important thing is to learn guerrilla warfare. There are small alleys everywhere in residential areas, which is conducive to escape.

Chen Xia found a small road, with residential areas on both sides of the road, and there were some state-owned non-staple food stores and supply and marketing cooperatives at the entrance of the community.

Chen Xia dared not set up a beach to the doors of these state-owned stores. Isn’t this seeking death?

He found a crossroads, and the traffic was very large. The old men and mothers who went to buy vegetables in the morning were carrying baskets. It seemed that the surrounding residents were in good condition. Who would dare to go to the vegetable market every day without money these days?

And there is a wall 50 meters away from the intersection, with a hole in the wall.

Chen Xia crawled in and took a look. It was an old house that was uninhabited, just enough to cover him up to take out bags of rice from the space hospital.

After thinking about the way out, Chen Xia took out a long time ago and wrote a few big words on it:

"Selling rice without food coupons."

Chen Xia put down a bag of rice on the side of the road, a bag of 30 kilograms, and a scale taken out of the Chinese pharmacy in the space hospital, and the business started.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

The people asking for the price came faster than they thought. As soon as Chen Xia put out the rice, a group of old men and women immediately surrounded him.

An old lady touched a handful of rice and looked at it, and said:

"Young man, do you really don't need food coupons for these rice?"

"Yes, auntie, this is grown by our family. The family urgently needs money, so they sell it. These are all new rice this year."

Several old people commented and expressed their recognition of the quality of rice.

Yuezhou has been a hometown of fish and rice since ancient times, and the quality of rice is definitely the best.

Another aunt asked, "Young man, how much is this rice per pound."

"4 cents per pound."

"What? 4 cents per pound is so expensive. The top-quality rice in the supply and marketing cooperative is only 1 cents per pound."

Chen Xia smiled and said, "But the rice in the supply and marketing cooperative requires grain coupons. Now 1 kilogram of grain coupon is used for trading, but at least 2 kilograms of rice is needed. Let's do it. After a while, I'm 40 cents per kilogram, which is cheaper. And I want to buy as much as I want, so the whole family can have a full meal."

The old men and women chuckled, yes, now everyone is not very full, especially some families have to help some poor relatives.

And compared to money, the food coupons are the most scarce. If you have money or no food coupons these days, you still can’t buy food.

Many people go on business trips or send relatives to emergency services, and they quietly go to the black market to exchange food coupons.

Local food coupons are cheaper, but if they are national food coupons, they will be expensive. When a pound of food coupons are the most expensive, they can be sold for three or four yuan.

Chen Xia just said it was quite conservative. Two kilograms of rice on the black market are not enough to exchange for one kilogram of food coupons.

The small-city citizens in the city are so smart, so they should not be too careful in their abacus. They should not be bad at one or two points.

So although Chen Xia’s rice is quite expensive, 40 cents per pound, and 10 pounds of rice is only 4 yuan, 10 pounds of rice may be able to fill the gap in the food rations at home this month.

In this era, people generally lack oil and water, which also led to a huge increase in appetite. In 2020, a big man could not finish half a pound of rice in a day.

But in 1980, it was a problem for a big man to eat two kilograms of rice a day.

You should know that cities are not as good as rural areas. Farmers do not have rice to eat, so they can eat sweet potatoes, taro, or even wild vegetables. The food source of urban people is single and they fully trust supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned non-staple food stores.

You need food coupons and grain purchase certificates when buying anything. This is the hard work of most urban people.

Chen Xia appeared like timely rain, and the business opened immediately.

An aunt took action decisively and took out 4 yuan to buy 10 kilograms of rice.

Immediately afterwards, the second old man also took action and bought 10 kilograms of rice.

After the third aunt bought the remaining rice, the aunts and men who had not bought it were stopped.

"Hey, what's going on? I just went home to get the money, why did it sell out?"

"Young man, do you still have rice? My family is really not enough to eat, and my grandson is so hungry that he cries so hard every day."

Everyone said and said something, and pulled Chen Xia and refused to leave. This was exactly what Chen Xia thought.

"Don't worry, I still have some rice, but not too much. If you need to buy it, wait for me to take it out."

After saying that, Chen Xia walked to an alley not far away in everyone's puzzled and expectant eyes, and saw that there was no one on the left and right, and penetrated into the hole in the wall.

When I came out again, I carried a bag of 100 kilograms of rice.

When I saw Chen Xia coming out with the rice on his back, there was a burst of applause from the crowd. In a blink of an eye, 100 kilograms of rice were sold out again.

An old man bought 50 kilograms alone and said that he was not short of money. He was so angry that the aunts and men next to him were full of condemnations and condemnations.

I took 130 kilograms of rice and got 52 yuan in cash, which was higher than the salary of a fourth-level worker. It was a huge sum of money in the early 1980s.

But compared to the more than 10,000 kilograms of rice in the space hospital, only 130 kilograms are sold, which is a drop in the bucket.

What to do? Chen Xia scratched his head a little. It will be sold for the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

The people who didn't buy rice still refused to disperse, and kept urging Chen Xia to have rice?

There were also some old men and housewives who heard the news, holding a cloth bag and trying to buy some rice that didn't have food coupons.

This made Chen Xia scratch his head. Should he sell it or not?

No matter what, I will give it my best. Even if I am caught, they can't find their own rice and they can't convict themselves, right?

What's more, there is another "magic weapon" in my body, that is, the martyr's certificate of a cheap dad. The martyr's children are in trouble at home, so I can't sell some rice they grow from home?

You dare to say no? What about your political awareness? Do you want the hero to shed blood and cry?

Chen Xia was fully prepared, and lacked "awe" for this conservative era, so he took the initiative and bowed:

"Dear uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, I still have some rice. The people in our village asked me to bring some of them over, but if someone comes to arrest me, please help me with a look. I don't want to be arrested and go to labor reform."

"Don't worry, young man, you have helped us solve the big problem, and we won't cheat you. Just sell it. We will block you when the neighborhood committee comes."

"Yes, young man, don't be afraid, it's not illegal to sell some rice you made."

"Hurry up, it's too late, the neighborhood committee will really attract the police."

When Chen Xia heard everyone making noise, he made three decisions.

"Okay, then I'll sell it openly. The buyer quickly left with the rice. Don't stop. Everyone line up and I'll carry the rice now."

As soon as Chen Xia finished speaking, the crowd automatically lined up in a team, and several old men took the initiative to undertake the "visiting task".

They all know the people from this neighborhood committee. If there are public people coming, they can inform them in time and ask Chen Xia to escape quickly.

This is fine. If the people have to say that they have done their best to eat a little bit of food, they are really useless.

So one morning, Chen Xia went in and out N times, carrying bags of rice and selling it to everyone.

The people who bought the rice immediately dispersed, so no one knew how much rice this guy had sold.

Until an old man saw someone from the neighborhood committee coming from a distance, he immediately notified Chen Xia, and just happened to have sold a bag of rice.

When he heard that some family members were coming, he immediately prepared to flash his head.

There are also some people who have not bought rice and are reluctant to leave, and many people have just arrived after getting the news.

Chen Xia was also reluctant to leave such a large number of customers, but there was no way. He was caught by the neighborhood committee and turned to the police station, and he might have some extra trouble.

What should I do? Chen Xia was brave at this time and said before leaving.

"I'll come tomorrow morning. You guys want to buy rice and wait."
