Chapter 62: The Black Market
When Qinghegou Village was quietly immersed in the starry night sky, it was a "lively" moment in a corner of the county more than ten kilometers away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Big brother, how's it going? Check out mine today? A tall young man grabbed Guo Hongjun, who was a frequent visitor to this place and a big patron.
"Yo, Da Zhuang, what? Done again so soon? Okay, I'll take a look at yours first. "Look at the old acquaintance who grabbed him, the big man who sold wild things. The people in this alley all call him Da Zhuang, whether it's his real name or not, no one cares, the people in this alley are all doing that unsightly thing, who will say that his real name comes out and let others report it? However, didn't this Da Zhuang hear that he was arrested and criticized by the people of their commune in the name of digging the corner of socialism, and he still dares to appear here, and he is really rich and dangerous!
"How? Do you have any in-demand supplies in your hands today? Da Zhuang looked at Guo Hongjun a little nervously, he hadn't been here for a while, I don't know if this big brother still has what he needs in his hands, if not, he really doesn't know where to get it.
"Okay, how many do you have?" Guo Hongjun is knowledgeable. Today, Da Zhuang brought venison, although it is a small piece, looking at the meat quality, fresh, delicate, it should be a deer that is not very old. Since he can see it, Guo Hongjun doesn't ink, and directly asks the other party how much he has, and he has to estimate how much he can eat the other party with the things in his hand.
Of course, there will definitely be people at this time, how can the people who come to trade only bring samples, cut, no one is stupid to come to this alley, who dares to put all the things in such a conspicuous place? If you don't look at the market first, you don't know how to get caught. It must be someone who only brings some samples to the deal, the two sides negotiate the price, and then exchange where they put each other's things. Of course, it's not that no one doesn't worry about black eating black, but people at this time are very careful, and they can't enter this place at all if they are not introduced by acquaintances.
"Most of them, all of them are good things, and most of the feet and most of the unchewed ones are left at home, about 5 or 60 pounds." Da Zhuang saw that Guo Hongjun was interested, and he really breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The food at home is saved, and it is not surprising that when the next wave of grain is produced, the meat, when you are not in time, you can secretly go into the mountains to catch two pheasants and hares or something, and you can also deal with it, and you can get this daily necessities or cotton and cloth that are in short supply. Something happened at home this year, and it took a lot of effort to barely settle the family, but unfortunately because of this, the old bottom saved in the family before was cleaned, and this is not the end of the year, and I can't give my wife and children a whole body of thick clothes. Da Zhuang knew that as long as this person was interested, most of the things he wanted could be exchanged, and at the same time, he was also happy about his luck today.
Don't look at Guo Hongjun as a young man in his early twenties, he is tender in this alley. But the door is wide, and he can get a lot of in-demand and practical things, and he also has his own brothers to help him. Therefore, many people here came for what Guo Hongjun had in his hands, and they didn't dare to think carefully about others. There was once a person who wanted to fool Guo Hongjun, but in the end he was beaten very badly, not to mention, and he had to pay for things to others, which was a loss of both people and money. It's anyone's fault, no one reported him, everyone has a conscience. Of course, Guo Hongjun doesn't come every night, every month, he can come to this alley no more than five times, and you can't find the pattern of his comings and goings, if you want to trade with him, you can only depend on luck.
"If it's all like this, I'll want it all, your things can be exchanged for 7 zhang of cloth here, or 15 catties of first-class secondary cotton, or 50 catties of cornmeal, or 10 yuan plus half a catty of sugar tickets, how do you want to change?" Guo Hongjun is also an old man in this area, he believes that others dare not pit him, if there is really so much venison, then he will have something to take when he goes to Qinghegou this year, and he also believes that Zhao Cuilian's sister-in-law must like this thing very much.
"I want 4 zhang cloth and 8 catties of secondary cotton." Da Zhuang knows that the so-called secondary cotton is the cotton left after the quilt or cotton clothes and pants are removed. However, there are good and bad such cotton, as Guo Hongjun said, the first class is seventy or eighty percent of new cotton. After carefully calculating the population and actual situation of his family, he rubbed his hands and looked at Guo Hongjun with hope.
"Okay, I'll suffer a loss, just change it as you say." In normal times, Guo Hongjun would definitely not agree so simply, although he is kind, he can't let others treat him as a fool. The second cotton doesn't sound very good, but at this time, it has been a waste of his strength to be able to exchange such a thing, and there is no way, and others can't change it. But for the sake of this big strong man, he didn't want to be embarrassed.
"Big brother, look at mine again?" Someone next to him had already seen Guo Hongjun, but when he saw that Da Zhuang had a conversation with Guo Hongjun first, that person could only wait on the side, this is the rule of the alley, when others have business, they can't cut off their beards, otherwise they won't be able to enter this alley in the future. No one knows who made this rule, but the people who come in follow it. Therefore, after the man saw that the deal between the two was negotiated, he dared to come up and talk to Guo Hongjun.
"There aren't many things today, just like this, if you're not in a hurry, I'll come again tomorrow night to prepare for the New Year, this time it's not easy." After the two negotiated, Guo Hongjun didn't want to go any further. This damn weather, it's really getting colder. So, he didn't want to continue this accosting of Lao Gen. He knew that this person usually had rations in his hands, and he was not short of food for the time being, so he could fill his stomach, and his father and mother didn't have to worry about him. However, the advantage of trading with this person is that this person has money in his hand and occasionally has some industrial tickets. He has been in love with a Phoenix brand bicycle in the county department store for a long time, but the industrial ticket in his hand is not enough, so he is ready to come tomorrow night to change it.
"Okay, but you'll have to keep what you have in your hand." Lao Gen is not entangled with Guo Hongjun, since the other party promised tomorrow night, it will be tomorrow night. He also understood the meaning of Guo Hongjun's hard-won things, thinking about the money and tickets in his hand, and agreed to the other party with full confidence.
"Little thing, gone." Guo Hongjun also readily agreed, didn't let Da Zhuang wait, and after saying goodbye to Lao Gen, he caught up with the other party and walked away.
By the time the deal was over tomorrow night, his treasury would be empty, especially the cloth. Because Zhao Cuilian makes more clothes, she herself has a large demand, and Ye Xiang in the village still has to exchange some for the other party, and in the end, there are not many people who can fall into the hands of Guo Hongjun, and he still has to use some people to deal with the scrap acquisition station, although from the things he secretly piled up, it is almost the same as picking up for nothing, but he still feels sorry for the things that are sent out. So, in the end, he had even less cloth in his hands to trade for other things.
Hey, it seems that when I go to Qinghegou for the New Year, I have to make a good deal with this little sister-in-law, and see if I can take out more good things from her in the future. The last time I went, I heard my mother say that the little sister-in-law was going to make her own sugar, and I didn't know if it was true. Well, this time to confirm, if it's true, isn't there another way to make money? Hey......
While following Guo Hongjun, who was walking in front of him, he was thinking in his heart that he would follow Zhao Cuilian in the future to eat and drink spicy food, and he was happy. However, after noticing the big strong in front of him, he tried to restrain himself.
