Chapter 11 Entering the city to find a way to make money

We set off at around seven o'clock and didn't arrive at the county town until almost ten o'clock. The soles of our shoes were almost worn out.
She was not in a hurry when she arrived at the county seat, and strolled around slowly. Along the way, she also met someone who secretly set up a stall to sell some things. Thinking about it, it is already 1977, and it should be fully opened next year. Smart people are already starting to test it out.
.
Lu Qingqing's major in her previous life was fashion design, and she had made some achievements in the industry.
But in this day and age, even buying cloth requires a ticket, and most people don't really care about how well they dress. Even if they do, they don't have the conditions to be particular about it, so her design major is useless.
It would be fine to make some food. She just saw someone pushing a bicycle selling meat buns and the like. Whether they can make a fortune is another matter. Making a little money is definitely no problem.
But she must have the principal first.
Lu Qingqing's original intention was to find the black market first. In this era, only in the black market could she freely buy and sell things.
After wandering around like this for more than half an hour, she found it by accident.
It was an alley extending in all directions, and there were people sneaking around at the door, and everyone who came in and out had their faces covered, so the black market must have gone.
Lu Qingqing entered a corner first, and took out a gauze scarf from his own space, so that his own mother could not recognize it. He also found a bamboo basket that could be carried on the shoulder, and put it in the bamboo basket.
some eggs.
She wasn't sure what could be traded on the black market, but eggs were definitely safe. Besides, the eggs she took out in her space were all very large, and the quality was excellent.
After preparing his things, Lu Qingqing also ducked in.
There weren't many people in the alley. There were people squatting against the wall with a briefcase or basket in front of them. They were just trying to get something out.
There were also people looking around in the alley, looking around to buy something, or to put something in.
Lu Qingqing walked around inside and found that everything was quite complete, from old antiques to grain and cloth, as well as all kinds of tickets.
Not long after she chose a place and squatted down, an aunt came over and looked at her bamboo basket, "Girl, do you sell eggs?"
Lu Qingqing's bamboo basket was not tightly covered, and she deliberately left a gap so that others could see that she was putting eggs in it.
"Yes, auntie, they sell eggs, would you like some? My eggs are very good, they are big and good-looking. They are delicious when fried!"
"How do you sell it?" The aunt had some ideas.
"One for eight!" Lu Qingqing said with a smile.
She had gone to see one just now. There was also an egg seller there. He was half the size of her, and those eggs cost five or six cents each. Her eggs were worth two cents each, and selling them for eight cents was really not expensive, but
No matter how expensive it is, it's not worth it. No matter how big it is, it's just an egg.
The aunt didn't say anything. She opened her cloth, took out one, looked at it, and shook it in her hand. She couldn't help but admire in her heart, these eggs are really good. How well-raised chickens must be to lay them?
But of course she couldn't say this, so she pretended to put the eggs back into the basket.
"It's big, but your egg looks abnormal. It's just something that goes into your stomach. It won't cause any problems, right?"
Lu Qingqing was also born into poverty in her previous life. She also worked in an open-air vegetable market, and she could see through this old lady's bargaining skills at a glance.
If it were another girl who couldn't hold her breath, she would have hurriedly explained.
But Lu Qingqing didn't.
She slowly arranged the eggs and covered the cloth again. Then she raised her face and said with a smile that was neither humble nor overbearing:
"Auntie, it's okay for you to coax the child. I am a mother now, not a little girl who is not a family member. Just my old hens, they are all delicious and drinkable since they were young. Otherwise, this
How can eggs be so big? They are more nutritious than small eggs. You will know when you buy them and taste them."
Lu Qingqing smiled and spoke the whole time, and the little eyebrows he showed were fair and good-looking. Old lady Ren, who had seen countless people, never expected that this little girl was not easy to fool.
He immediately rubbed his hands with a smile and lifted the cloth on the basket, "Hey, are you kidding me, girl? You look so pretty, you really didn't expect to have a baby?"
To do business, you have to smile and greet people, but you can't smile so spinelessly that people think you are soft-tempered, and you can't do it so that everyone dares to risk their lives to bargain with you?
The old lady also noticed that this little girl was delicate and soft, but she was not someone willing to suffer losses.
To say that these eggs are a bit expensive for eight cents each, but she is not short of money. It's just that she can't buy any good eggs at the moment, so she goes to the black market for a while.
"Okay, girl, you can pretend to be thirty for me!"
Thirty is a lot, so Lu Qingqing counted it and handed it over, "Auntie, thirty is two yuan and four. You are my first business today, I will give you one more!"
Naturally, the old lady smiled happily, handed over the money and left with satisfaction.
The people who were looking at the big eggs were also moved, and they all came forward to ask about the price and choose. After a while, Lu Qingqing's big basket of eggs was sold out. He made more than four yuan in total, which was almost as much as the money he brought out from home.
.
Eggs are easy to sell, but they are not profitable!
Lu Qingqing picked up the basket and wandered around the alley, wanting to see if there was anything else he could sell. The goods in a large shopping mall were not in vain.
After understanding the main items sold in the black market, Lu Qingqing went in and out of the space, changed clothes several times, and sold a lot of expensive things like rice, white flour, brown sugar, and meat in batches.
Lu Qingqing was not greedy either. After making more than two hundred yuan, he put it away when he saw fit, changed back into the clothes he came in with and left the black market.
Having money in your pocket gives you a sense of security.
"Why did you bring back so many pigs? Can't you get some good meat?!"
"The meat from the supply and marketing cooperative is expensive, and you have to queue up to get it. You prodigal old woman, do you think I don't want to eat something good?"
The bungalow courtyard he passed by was not soundproof, and the sound of a couple quarreling from inside made Lu Qingqing's eyes light up.
In this era, pig offal was something no one cared about. It was either thrown away in the slaughterhouse or sold at a low price as if it was free.
But in future generations, pig intestines will be delicious when cooked well! Lu Qingqing has no other hobbies, she just likes to think about things to eat. She has also learned how to make pig intestines, and she does not dare to compare with the professional chefs of later generations, but
It is definitely enough for a small county town in this era!
This information gap and skills can allow her to make a business out of it.
To buy pig intestines, you naturally have to go to a place like a slaughterhouse to see if you can buy them in bulk at a low price.
It's hard to find the slaughterhouse. There's a mouth under the nose. Once I inquired about it, I found out.
Chapter completed!
