The middle-aged man said, "Little brother, let me treat you to a meal to express my gratitude, otherwise I will feel very sorry."

Shen Zhian refused directly and said, "No, I have other things to do and it's not convenient today."

Shen Zhian said, preparing to say goodbye.

But the middle-aged man continued to call Shen Zhian, "Young man, seeing that you come to the black market, your life must be difficult. I will introduce you to some work. Are you interested?"

Shen Zhian's dress is not good, not as good as that of ordinary city people, but somewhat similar to country people.

They helped me this time, so there is nothing wrong with me helping others.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely not introduce the job casually.

Shen Zhian stopped and did not refuse. Instead, he waited to see what kind of job this person would recommend.

Now that the Shen family is poor, Shen Zhian thinks that within his own abilities, he can help his family improve.

He is not so noble as to refuse help from others, and truly disdains money.

"What job?"

"Do you dare to do black market business? If you do it well, you can make a lot of money.

Since you can come to sell goods today, it means you can accept going to the black market.

I can introduce the source of goods to you, and you can take the goods and sell them.

The more you work, the more you get, even if you do a few jobs, you can earn more than an ordinary worker in a month." said the middle-aged man.

He himself takes goods from people and sells them. Although this business is a bit risky, he does make a lot of money after a year.

He was able to introduce him to Shen Zhian just because he was in financial difficulty and because he helped him today, he wanted to lend a helping hand.

Of course, he also wanted to develop some partners so that they could take care of each other in the future.

Shen Zhian was silent for a moment.

The Shen family has been in business before, and Shen Zhian knows better than anyone how profitable this kind of black market business can be.

Not to mention anything else, I went to the black market today and earned more than 20 yuan in just a short time.

If he can continue working for a long time, not only will his conditions improve in the future, but he will also be able to help the Shen family.

Seeing that Shen Zhian didn't say anything, the middle-aged man said, "Young man, it's okay if you don't want to do it. I just mentioned it to you.

Making money on the black market does involve certain risks, and just like today, you can't be sure when an accident will come."

Shen Zhian said, "No, uncle, I'm quite interested.

But I’m afraid I don’t have time today, so when I come to the county next time, you can introduce it to me, do you think it’s okay?”

The middle-aged man said, "Of course."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a pen and a small notebook from the breast pocket of his Chinese tunic suit, quickly wrote down his address, and then handed it to Shen Zhian.

"Little brother, this is my home address. If you want to find me, just follow this address.

My name is Hu Yong, if I'm not at home, just tell my wife to wait for me at my house."

Shen Zhian nodded, "Okay, I'll come back when I have time next time.

By the way, Brother Hu, do you have the industrial coupons in your hand to go out?"

Since Hu Yong is running in the black market, this kind of person may not only sell goods, but also various tickets.

Industrial coupons are relatively common and in short demand, so he probably has them on hand.

Shen Zhian asked by the way, if Hu Yong didn't have it, he would go find someone else to buy it.

Hu Yong nodded, "Yes, how much do you want?"

"Two of them," Shen Zhian said.

If you want to buy a pot, an industrial coupon will probably suffice.

He can use it alone and buy a small pot instead of a big one.

Hu Yong quickly took out two industrial coupons from his pocket and handed them to Shen Zhian.

Shen Zhi'an asked how much it was, and Hu Yong waved his hand and said, "I didn't even have the chance to treat you to dinner. I'll take these two industrial coupons as a thank you for helping me today, so there's no need to give me the money."

Seeing that Hu Yong insisted not to accept any money, Shen Zhian said nothing more and accepted the industrial coupons.

After saying goodbye to Hu Yong, Shen Zhian walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pot.

After buying the pot, today's task is over.

Shen Zhian was not dressed decently, and he had been doing farm work during this period, so he was very tanned, and his face looked like it had gone through many changes.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the supply and marketing cooperative, the salesperson regarded Shen Zhian as a countryman and did not treat Shen Zhian warmly.

Two salesmen were chatting, one of them was cracking melon seeds.

Shen Zhian went over, but they ignored him.

However, Shen Zhian was not annoyed and took the initiative to say, "Comrade, please bring me a pot."

The salesperson glanced at Shen Zhian indifferently, "Do you have money? Do you have industrial coupons? You can't buy pot here without industrial coupons."

Shen Zhian said, "Yes."

With that said, Shen Zhian took out the money and tickets.

The salesperson took a look and saw that Shen Zhian was indeed holding an industrial coupon in his hand, so he didn't say anything more.

It’s not like there were poor people from the countryside who came to buy things before. I asked them to help bring them out, but in the end they didn’t give me a ticket.

I have done this many times, and every time I see a poor person from the countryside coming to buy something, the salesperson thinks that he or she may not be able to afford it, so she will ask first.

The salesperson took out a pot and handed it to Shen Zhian, "Five yuan, plus an industrial coupon."

Shen Zhian felt that the pot the salesperson brought him was a bit too big.

When you're eating alone, you don't need to take such a big mouthful.

So I asked the salesperson, "Comrade, is there a smaller pot? This pot is too big."

After hearing what Shen Zhian said, the salesperson felt that Shen Zhian had no money and couldn't afford it. A smaller pot would definitely be cheaper than a larger pot.

Thinking like this, the salesperson looked at Shen Zhian with a look of disdain. "I'm just saying that you poor country folk have no money and can't afford it, so you pick and choose what I got.

Let me tell you, we are a state-owned unit, we are not buying things in the countryside, and we do not allow bargaining."

Hearing what the salesperson said, Shen Zhian was naturally angry.

I’m just a picky person, so it’s not too much to ask for, right?

As a result, the salesperson's service attitude and look of contempt made Shen Zhian very unhappy.

But before Shen Zhian could get angry, Zhou Ran rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Zhou Ran had just come over to the supply and marketing cooperative, and she had watched the scene just now.

Putting aside the fact that Shen Zhian knew her, as a friend, Zhou Ran had to protect Shen Zhian.

Even if he were an ordinary person, Zhou Ran would probably scold him a few times if he saw the salesperson looking down on him like this.

"Comrade, what's wrong with the country people? Are the country people inferior?

If there were no country people, what would you city people eat? Do you eat air?

The leaders have said that classes are equal, but you are openly discriminating and looking down on farmers!" Zhou Ranchong retorted to the arrogant salesperson just now.
