Chapter 15 The Eve of Going to the Countryside (3)
Lu Xiaoxiao went home after finishing her work. She thought that in three days she would set off with the team going to the countryside, so she had to hurry up to prepare.
She counted the money and tickets in her hand. After excluding the money in the passbook, she now had 2,632 yuan and 86 cents, but there were not many tickets. There were only 50 kilograms of food stamps and 8 kilograms of food stamps.
There are still 22 meat tickets and 22 industrial tickets, and none of the sugar tickets, cloth tickets, and cotton tickets, let alone those rare bicycle tickets and watch tickets.
Although she has things in her space, many of them are not in line with this era and cannot be used openly at all. It seems that before going to the countryside, she must find a way to get some tickets and buy some things, whether she will use them or not.
It's good to exchange things with others. After all, you can't buy or sell things now, you can only exchange them.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought that no matter whose ticket it was, it was very tight and it was impossible to exchange it for her. The only place where she could get tickets was the black market, but she didn't know where the black market was. It seemed she would go out to look for it tomorrow.
If you look for it, you can find the best one. If you can't find it, you have to find another way.
She thought that she might have to do something big tomorrow, so she had to recharge her batteries today.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out a bowl of pork rib soup from the space and ate the steamed buns she had made before. After eating her fill, she went into the bathroom of the villa to take a bath. Taking a bath in winter not only relaxes the body but also warms the body.
After taking a bath, Lu Xiaoxiao came out of the room. She lit the stove, checked the window, and went to bed.
Lu Xiaoxiao went out before dawn the next day. Before going out, she made her face black, wrapped her head with a piece of cloth to reveal her eyes, and wore the original owner's oldest clothes and the smallest size. Now
She looked like a poor person whose family had fallen into poverty and had to go out for food.
Lu Xiaoxiao could still see the road clearly with the brightness of the moonlight. Why did she go out so early? I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running. It is impossible to do this kind of thing in broad daylight, right? It must be
It has to be done secretly at night.
Lu Xiaoxiao walked on the street and saw no one, but she was brave. If she were timid, she would have been scared to tears. Nowadays, everything is not as bright and colorful as in later generations.
As she was walking, she suddenly saw a few people walking in and out of an alley carrying things. She thought it must be a black market, so she found a deserted place and took out 2 kilograms of rice and a basket.
Go into the alley.
She observed that no one inside was communicating with each other. If they wanted to conduct a transaction, both parties would look at each other and find a corner where no one was around.
After Lu Xiaoxiao understood the transaction process, she began to look for a buyer. When she saw a man in a Chinese tunic suit walking over, she stepped forward and pulled the corner of his clothes and motioned him to the deserted corner over there with her eyes.
When Lu Xiaoxiao came to the corner, she showed the rice in the basket and asked, "Uncle, do you want rice?"
The man asked in surprise: "How much rice like this do you have? Where are the adults in your family? Why are you a child here?"
Seeing that he needed to buy rice, Lu Xiaoxiao told him the excuse she had thought up before coming here, "My dad is looking at things outside. How much do you want? I'll tell him to bring it to you, but I don't want money, just tickets, what?"
Tickets are fine, but if it weren’t for the fact that it’s hard to take the rice with us when we leave here, our family wouldn’t have exchanged it for tickets.”
The man thought about it and realized that both his family and his in-laws were not short of money or tickets, but food was really hard to come by. In addition, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so it would be better to give rice as a gift to the leader than to give anything else.
So he said: "I want 50 kilograms of rice like this. I wonder if you have any?"
Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard the man's words, thinking that this was a big customer, so she quickly said: "Yes, we still have refined flour, but not much, only 20 kilograms. Do you want it?"
The man's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and he quickly asked for it, but he said he didn't bring so many tickets when he went out. His home was not far from here, and he could pick up the tickets in 10 minutes. After discussing the price with him, we agreed.
Trade under the tree at the entrance of the alley.
