If you have a bicycle, you won't have to go through such bumpy rides as now. Mainly if you want to go to the county town, it will be very convenient and you can go there at any time.

But for people in this era, it is not easy to get a bicycle.

Not only is a bicycle not cheap, costing more than 100 yuan, but the most important thing is that if you buy a bicycle, you also need a bicycle ticket.

Those who can afford to buy bicycles are those with better conditions in the city.

Where can a country person with no money or tickets get a bicycle?

Zhou Ran thought that he had to make good money so that he could buy a car later.

I'll look for opportunities to go up to the mountains later and try my luck in the mountains to see if I can make some money by selling some good stuff.

The tractor drove for an hour and finally arrived at the county seat.

Zhou Ran knew that Shen Zhian was going to sell goods, so he didn't go with him.

I want to take a walk around the county alone. I want to know a little bit about the county first. Once I know it clearly and become familiar with it, I can start my career later, right?

Zhou Ran remembered that in the original work, the heroine Xu Jingya relied on her luck with koi carps to earn a lot of money by selling goods on the black market. She also went to the county flea markets and garbage dumps to find a lot of antiques. baby.

At this time, those jewelry and the like will be judged as corrosive substances of capitalism and are very worthless in this era.

At this time, Xu Jingya bought these things from people at low prices and collected them. In later generations, many of them were priceless treasures.

Unfortunately, the Zhou family is not rich now, and Zhou Ran doesn't have much money to go shopping for goods at flea markets or private hands.

After arriving at the county town, Zhou Ran first wanted to find out where the black market was, and then he became familiar with the flea markets and garbage dumps.

Anyway, it doesn't take much effort to go to the grocery store to buy seasonings. The remaining time can't be wasted. It's best to get familiar with the county.

Shen Zhian was in front of her, and it was difficult for her to perform well, so Zhou Ran brought up the matter of parting ways.

Shen Zhian was not worried about her, "Can you do it alone? How about I accompany you?"

Zhou Ran quickly waved his hand, "Shen Zhiqing, you are busy with your work, I can do it by myself."

I have such a big physique, who can bully me?

It's clear and sunny, so there won't be any danger."

Seeing Zhou Ran's insistence, Shen Zhian said nothing more and told her to be as careful as possible alone.

It was also inconvenient for him to have Zhou Ran by his side for what he had to do today.

This time Shen Zhian came to the county town to sell goods. He did not plan to send the goods to the grocery store, but planned to go to the black market.

In the 1970s, everything was supplied by the government, and if private individuals had agricultural and sideline products, they could also sell them to the public.

It's just that the public purchase price is relatively low. If the same thing is sold on the black market, the price can be several times higher.

Because many people have a limited number of tickets and only have money but no tickets, they can only go to the black market if they cannot buy them from the official website.

The black market only requires money but no tickets. In addition, the seller may have to bear the risk of speculation, so the price is naturally much higher.

Shen Zhian has never been a conformist person, and previous generations of the Shen family have dared to venture into it.

He knows that wealth can be found in danger.

It is definitely impossible to make more money without taking any risks.

Shen Zhian didn't know where the black market here was, but soon, Shen Zhian went to the county seat to inquire about it and found the place.

With a batch of goods, Shen Zhian went to the black market.

There is a spot in the black market here. If you enter, you need to pay a ten cent nursing fee.

Both buyers and sellers need to pay.

However, this money is not paid in vain. Someone will be guarding it. If the police come to investigate the black market, they will report it in time to ensure the safety of both buyers and sellers.

Shen Zhian followed the rules here and went in after paying a dime.

As soon as Shen Zhian entered, Zhou Ran touched the black market with his back foot.

Seeing that he had to pay a dime to go inside, Zhou Ran gave up.

After all, I neither buy nor sell goods, so it is not cost-effective to pay a dime for nothing.

Once you know the place, come back next time when the goods are available.

Zhou Ran left the black market and continued shopping elsewhere.

After Shen Zhian entered the black market, he put out the goods.

People who came to buy goods from the black market came to take a look.

Shen Zhian brought quite a lot of things, including twenty eggs, seven or eight salted fish that had just been dried for a few days, and not much refined grains.

For example, eggs are sold in grocery stores for 50 cents per pound, but if sold on the black market, they can be sold for one dollar at double the price.

Twenty eggs, or two pounds, were sold for two yuan.

A pound of fresh fish costs 30 cents. When made into salted fish, there will be a certain loss in weight, so the purchase price of a pound in grocery stores is 40 cents. However, on the black market, these meats are relatively rare. It's easy to sell for just one pound per catty.

Shen Zhian's salted fish weighs eighteen pounds in total and can be sold for eighteen yuan.

The few fine grains are going to be much cheaper. Rice and white flour are about 20 cents to 30 cents.

These products from Shen Zhian are very hard to come by on the black market, so as soon as the stall was set up, the items were sold out.

After this trip, Shen Zhian earned twenty-three yuan.

For the salary level in this era, twenty-three yuan is really a lot. A normal urban employee can only earn more than thirty yuan a month.

After selling all the items, Shen Zhian was ready to close the stall and leave with a basket on his back.

Before leaving the black market, I heard the reporter shouting, "Run, the police are here to arrest the black market."

Upon hearing this shouting, both buyers and sellers quickly got up and ran out.

This is speculation, and the consequences of being caught will be very serious.

Shen Zhian also fled with the crowd.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man's muffled voice came from behind.

Shen Zhian looked back at the situation.

This man's words were weighed down on him every time he carried a carrying pole.

I guess I was running too fast and sprained my foot, so I was sitting on the ground right now.

It would be inconvenient to leave with so much goods, but under such circumstances, there is even less time to leave.

The middle-aged man tried to get up from the ground, but fell back down again.

It was obvious that this man was very anxious.

Shen Zhian thought for a while, walked up to this person, pulled her up from the ground, supported him, and carried his goods on his body.

"Uncle, let's go quickly."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had met a good person.

With Shen Zhian's help, the two successfully escaped from the black market and arrived at a safe place.

The middle-aged man's hanging heart finally dropped, and his eyes looking at Shen Zhian were filled with gratitude.

"Little brother, thank you for what happened just now. If it weren't for you, I would have been in big trouble today."

Shen Zhian waved his hand, "You're welcome. It's just a little effort. It's not easy for everyone. If I have the chance to help, I will definitely help."
