Chapter 47 047 A small profit

Liao Province produces coal, and Xinshi is a major coal-producing city. There are seven or eight large and small coal mines in the city. In later generations, there were also many private coal mines.

Mimi went to the only state-owned coal mine in New Taipei County. Sixty to seventy percent of the county's population worked in this coal mine, and the people who lived in the county were all coal mine workers and their families.

They don't earn much, but they are willing to give up on food, especially employee benefits, which are the best.

Things like fried dough sticks, frying grates, and canned meat are distributed at the mine. Labor protection is also distributed from time to time, as are work clothes and thick blue cotton coats.

Mimi had heard before that workers working underground could die at any time if their heads were pinned to their belts, so she never suffered any loss in terms of food.

It just so happened that I had a lot of good stuff in my space, so I could sell some of it, but not too many times. Mimi planned to only sell it once or twice and then stop selling it in the county. If it happened too many times, she was afraid that people would become suspicious.

If she could get ginseng in the mountains, she could sell it for money. Ginseng could save lives at critical moments, and it was easy for her to get. As long as she had one, she could grow it indefinitely and save seeds. With the seeds, she didn't have to have as many seeds as she wanted.

How many.

She has no big future and no great ideals. She just wants to live her own life peacefully, as long as she has enough money to live as she pleases.

Anyway, she didn’t want to do business and become a strong woman like the heroine in the novel. She couldn’t do this because she was lazy. Every day in her previous life was like a war. She was too tired. She wanted to rest in this life.

Mimi walked around the coal mine a few times and got a good idea.

She found an alley where no one was carrying her, put on makeup and changed into shabby clothes, put the newspaper into the space, and walked out of the alley with a stick on her back and a cane on her back.

After turning four or five corners, Mimi slowly entered an alley and walked for more than a hundred meters. After paying two cents to the two men guarding the exit of the alley, she entered the real black market.

The black market here is different from that in Haicheng. It is located in a wide area. The sellers and buyers in the market are not like the black markets in other places carrying people on their backs. The people here all set up stalls in an orderly manner, and those selling food

, those selling daily necessities, those selling chickens, ducks and rabbits, and those selling coal.

Seeing that there was still a coal seller, Mimi narrowed her eyes, glanced at the man secretly, and then left as if nothing happened.

Coal these days belongs to the state, so if you want to buy it privately, you can't, but you have to go to the coal mine to buy it with a coal stamp. Private transactions have never been seen.

Mimi knew that this was someone who was reselling coal privately. If such a person was caught, he would certainly receive a heavy sentence.

Mimi has no intention of getting involved, it's none of her business anyway, don't say she's not kind, don't say she doesn't know right from wrong, don't say she has bad views, she just wants to live her life peacefully, as long as she doesn't touch

She can pretend she doesn't see her bottom line.

Anyway, this kind of people will definitely get into trouble in the end, and many people will be implicated. These people will be caught sooner or later, and it is better to have more trouble than less trouble.

Mimi found a corner away from that person, put her back on the ground and closed her eyes.

Not long after, someone came to ask her what she was selling.

"Dried kelp, dried shrimps, canned food and brown sugar."

Open a corner of the cloth on the back, let the visitor take a look, and then cover it again.

“And dried kelp?”

The visitor was shocked. This thing is new and there are not many in the new market.

"My relatives live by the seaside. They have a lot of these things. How about some? There are just a few of the newly arrived goods. I don't have much on hand. I don't want any more."

"Old lady, how do you sell dried kelp?"

Mimi was dumbfounded.

She doesn’t know this, she’s never sold it before!

Mimi thought for a while, "Just one piece."

The price should be about the same. You can buy a lot of dried kelp per pound without weighing it, and you can eat it for several meals.

"Okay, let's have a pound, and Shopee will also have a pound."

As soon as the first person bought it, the business started. Knowing that Mimi was selling fresh products, many people gathered around. In a short time, all the dried kelp and dried shrimps that Mimi carried were sold out.

, even brown sugar and canned food are sold out.

Instead of getting any more goods from the space, Mimi went to another corner with a cane on her back, bought thirty eggs from an old lady, then went around and bought fifty eggs from another person.

Out of the black market.

Mimi did the math and found that she had earned fifty-two yuan, excluding the money spent on buying eggs, which was enough for her to spend some time.

Now she has 63,550 dollars and 26 cents in her hand. She puts the 63,000 dollars into a box, organizes the 550 dollars and puts them aside for later use, and puts the eggs in it.

After leaving the space, I found a deserted place to remove my makeup, change back into my own clothes, and strode back to Qiaotou Village.

When we were almost at the entrance of the village, we took out the newspapers and asbestos tiles and headed back to the educated youth point.

The asbestos tiles were heavy and big, so it was difficult to pick up the asbestos tiles while carrying newspapers in their hands. Mimi also had to transport the things back to the educated youth point twice. Fortunately, the people in the village were still going to the fields at this time, so there was no one around.

Otherwise, she would not dare to put it on the ground casually for fear of losing it.

It was already five o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the educated youth point after the National Movement. It was getting dark now. Zhao Hong and the others would have to work for more than an hour before returning. Mimi went into the kitchen.

I boiled a big pot of paste, found a brush in the space, picked up two bundles of newspapers and went to the utility room.

The walls were covered with newspapers, and even the small kitchen separated by them was all covered with newspapers. In the end, there were only a few sheets left, and Mimi covered them all with the kang.

There's nothing we can do about the ceiling. She does have cloth in her space, but she can't take it out and use it, so she can only leave it like this.

After stacking the asbestos tiles at the door, Zhao Hong and the others came back.

"Sister Zhao, do we have a ladder here? There was one when I saw them working yesterday."

Zhao Hong blinked and didn't ask any questions. She pointed to the corner of the wall next to the first row of men's dormitories and said, "There, if you want to use it, just use it. Just remember to put it back after use."

Mimi nodded, glanced in the direction of Zhao Hong's fingers, and then gave Zhao Hong two hard-boiled eggs, "Snack for dinner tonight."

Zhao Hong glared at Mimi angrily, "Again, I'm spending money indiscriminately. Save some money and you'll have a long life in the future."

Mimi waved her hand and carried the ladder to the utility room.

Zhao Hong looked at the eggs in her hands and sighed.

She has eaten so much of Mimi's food in the past two days, and she doesn't know how to pay it back in the future. Her work score is high, and she can get some money at the end of the year, but her younger siblings are still in school, so she has to send some back. She has some

Not rich either.

Forget it, help her with more work in the future. When something happens to her, she can't just stand aside, just rush forward.

There were tiny white thorns on the asbestos tiles that could not be seen clearly. Not to mention the pain on the hand, it was difficult to find. Mimi found a rubber glove in the space and put it on, then put on a work glove, and then stepped on the ladder.

Climbed up to the roof.

After arranging the large pieces, he filled them with small pieces. He found a bunch of larger stones and placed them on the asbestos tiles. Then he followed the person who worked yesterday and went to the foot of the mountain to dig clay back and mixed it with the broken pieces.

I carefully wiped all the gaps with straw, and finally wiped all the remaining mud on the asbestos tiles, and pressed a few more stones.
Chapter completed!
