"Let's put it this way, you can't find all the tickets on the black market, from the common food tickets, cloth tickets, oil tickets, coal tickets, tofu tickets, egg tickets, vegetable tickets, soap tickets, fritter tickets, and even some strange tickets. ”

Wan Feng nodded: "I just need a ticket, Brother Zhao! What is the market for a ticket in the Red Cliff Black Market, and how much can it be?"

Brother Zhao recalled: "The cloth ticket is a very unstable commodity, and the current market is one foot and one cent two to one cent and four up and down, and this year there was a market of one cent and eight cents, and at the end of last year, there was a record of nearly three cents." The scattered cloth tickets sold by people from the countryside have been taken away by a few people, only they have them, but I don't know how many, probably not more than 1,000 feet. ”

Most of the cloth tickets on the black market now come from the hands of rural peasants, and the peasants' cloth tickets mainly come from the distribution of the state and some rewards at that time, and the average person a year ranges from seven to ten feet.

This mainly depends on the cotton yield of the year, if the cotton harvest is abundant, everyone can get a little more, if the harvest is less.

Because of the low income of the peasants, usually a family does not make a new set of clothes a year, so they will secretly take the cloth tickets in their hands to the city to sell, and at the most expensive time, they can sell them for more than two cents and a foot.

People in the cities get more cloth tickets than farmers, but almost all of them are not enough, and normal life is better, if anyone has a child marrying a daughter-in-law, then they have to start saving cloth tickets a year in advance, if they can't save enough, they can only borrow them everywhere or buy them on the black market.

The black market was spontaneous at first, but slowly developed into a certain scale, and although the state cracked down on it more severely, there was still an endless stream of people who took risks.

The scale of 1,000 feet is really not large, and this amount will not be useful if Luan Feng processes it himself, but if he wants to open a garment factory, this thing will not be easy to do.

"Brother Zhao, tomorrow is the 26th, it happens to be Saturday, I will look for you at one o'clock in the afternoon, you can take me in to have a look. ”

After making an appointment with Brother Zhao to meet at a location, Xia Qiulong left with Brother Zhao.

Not long after Xia Qiulong and they left, Liang Wan's carriage also arrived.

As long as you have your own popularity, that is, after you have your own brand effect, customers will blindly believe in you, and they will flock to send a small amount of money to you selflessly.

Lao Liangtou has planted melons in the countryside for a lifetime, although he is well-known in the local area, but it is definitely not as big as the brand effect created by Wan Feng in the county in just a few days, which can be seen from his sales.

In just over an hour, nearly 700 catties of melons were all sold out before ten o'clock, and there was no stagnation in the middle.

At that time, the most popular words for rural people to go to the restaurant were two taels of soju and two cents for stir-frying, Wan Feng threw Liang Wan a dollar, which was enough for his whole family to eat and drink, as for whether this goods left the money and went home hungry, Wan Feng didn't have to worry about it.

Wan Feng took Yang Hong's tractor home first.

A few days ago, a heavy rainstorm in the northern mountains filled the Biliuhe Reservoir in the upper reaches of the Inna River with water, which overwhelmed the reservoir dam, so the reservoir temporarily decided to release the flood and let the water go for half a day.

Wan Feng almost burped when he released the water, if it wasn't for Luan Feng desperately dragging him out, it is estimated that he would go to the East China Sea to be the son-in-law of the Dragon King.

This flood discharge was a disaster for Wanfeng, but it was a blessing for the people along the river, because a large number of fish also went down the river, and countless silver carp flowed out of the reservoir and flooded the upper and lower reaches of the Yinna River, and when the water calmed down, they became the target of people on both sides of the river, and the Yinna River was full of people from the upstream to the downstream.

When Wan Feng returned to the brick factory, someone told him that the people by the river were crazy when catching fish, and as soon as he heard the news, he rushed to the river with his bicycle and two baskets.

At this time, he stopped at the foot of the cliff in front of the rubber dam.

The bottom of the cliff was full of people, men, women and children, and the voices of the people were bustling.

Because of the depth of the water in the rubber dam, many big fish are washed here and do not want to leave, so the amount of fish gathered here is quite abundant.

There are many people on the shore who are eager to try it, and no matter who pretends to be a fisherman.

None of these fishermen are professional fishermen, so their methods are also strange.

There are those with nets and rods, and the most are those who throw cannons.

The kind of gunpowder composed of one sulfur, two nitrates, and three charcoals was packed in cans, bottles, or wine bottles, sealed with mud, and a fuse less than an inch long was inserted, ignited, and thrown into the water.

The bottle enters the water and explodes at a depth of about two or three meters, killing the fish by concussion.

The thing of setting off guns and fishing is also very particular, and the fuse must not be left too long or too short.

If the bottle is too short and it explodes before it enters the water, it basically has the effect of a firecracker - it goes off.

If the fuse is left too long, the bottle will sink to the bottom, and it will not produce the maximum killing effect at all.

The optimal depth for the bottle to explode is about between one meter and two meters.

Don't look down on this local way of fishing, if there are many fish, a row of cannons will cross the river full of white flowers.

At this time, the eyes of the people by the river are red, and the people with good water will go into the water to pick them up, and those with bad water will only be in a hurry.

This kind of fish is not whoever fires the cannon, but whoever catches it is whoever, so many people in the river are caught for nothing.

Wan Feng's water quality is not good, even if there are more fish in the river, he will not be red, but he believes that in the end, no one has as many fish as his.

"Collect the fish, collect the fish, silver carp is three pounds, carp is four pounds, red carp is five pounds, more than five pounds to less than ten pounds, how many are needed. ”

He came here to collect fish.

The reason why it is more than five catties and less than ten catties is still very interesting here.

Silver carp and carp are usually considered small fish under five catties, the meat is too tender, and if it is not stewed well, it is not delicious at all, and the fish above ten catties is because it is too big, and there are still very few people who can spend more than a dollar to buy a fish.

So Wan Feng wants everything in the range of five catties to ten catties.

The reason why silver carp is not as valuable as carp is because the silver carp itself is too fishy, and if it is not handled well, it cannot be removed, and the fishy smell cannot be eaten at all.

A shirtless man in his thirties carried a silver carp nearly two feet long in front of Wan Feng: "Boy, how many catties does this fish weigh?"

Wan Feng hooked the gills with the hook on the scale with his hands and feet, and twisted the position of the scale rope after the scale was balanced: "Ten catties and four taels, three cents and one cent, can you sell it?"

"Of course I sell it, why don't I bring it here. ”

Three cents is not a small amount for farmers, and it is a fool not to sell it if it is picked up for nothing.

Wan Feng put the fish in the basket and counted out three cents and gave it to the man.

Someone sent fish over one after another, silver carp and carp, and Wan Feng collected nearly 100 catties of fish in about an hour.
