Chapter 97: The Black Market (3)
When the mustache said these words, Granny Tian also turned sideways to look at the flour in the sack, and found that it was indeed a fine white face, thought about it, and turned back to Gu Shinian and said:
"Little comrade, if it's fine white noodles, how about I give you another five catties?"
Gu Shinian didn't speak, thinking in his heart that this business could not be done.
Now the most scarce thing in the world is food, followed by all kinds of meat, bills, things like old things that cannot be eaten, cannot be worn, and will cause disaster after being discovered, ordinary people really don't look down on them.
Therefore, there is no pricing standard for these old objects, and whether the two parties can trade or not depends on whether the things have entered the eyes of the individual.
This box of things did fall into his eyes, but the old lady's asking price was a little ruthless.
Gu Shinian thought about it for a while, and first bent down and asked Yunshang, "Ah Shang, do you like it?" ”
Yunshang looked at Granny Tian and shook her head ignorantly, "I didn't see what it was, the second brother must be fine." ”
Gu Shinian touched Yunsheng's head with a smile, and said to Granny Tian, "Comrade, I'll think about it, why don't you go to another stall first?" ”
Granny Tian also knew in her heart that the price she wanted was too high, and at this time, seeing that Gu Shinian was scared back by her high price, she hesitated for a while and lowered the price again.
"Little comrade, you have 30 catties of white face and 25 catties of national food stamps."
Gu Shinian shook his head and bargained, "Twenty catties of fine white noodles, twenty catties of national grain stamps." ”
This time, Granny Tian only hesitated for a moment and agreed, even stuffed the small cloth bag with the box into Gu Shinian's hand, and took out a large cloth bag from her pocket, and asked Gu Shinian to pour the white noodles directly into the cloth bag for her.
The two of them didn't have a scale, Gu Shinian directly poured almost half of the white noodles, and handed them over to Granny Tian along with four five-pound food stamps.
Granny Tian stretched out her hand to weigh the weight of the cloth bag, glanced at Gu Shinian in surprise, and took out a five-pound food stamp for Gu Shinian to return.
"Little comrade, you are a kind person, but let's say as much as you want, I don't take advantage of you!"
Yunshang was speechless.
If she doesn't want to appreciate it, she can borrow the scales and return the extra white noodles, so why return a five-pound food stamp, and confidently say that she doesn't take advantage of Gu Shinian.
Although food stamps can also buy fine grains, they are only rich and strong powder, where to buy fine white noodles.
In the final analysis, this old woman still took advantage of Gu Shinian, but people still said beautiful things, and no one knew that Gu Shinian had suffered a secret loss.
Gu Shinian was also stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head to sort out the sack inappropriately.
"Second Brother Gu!"
Yunshang shouted Gu Shinian angrily, and seeing that he didn't care at all, he simply lowered his head and sulked.
Seeing this, Gu Shinian whispered to her a task, "Ah Shang, you pay attention to Granny Tian, if she goes out, you remember to remind me." ”
Yunshang immediately came to her senses, and she didn't ask Gu Shinian what she wanted to do when she stared at her mother-in-law, her eyes widened, and she looked for Granny Tian's figure in the crowd.
The mustache next to him paced over slowly, looking at Gu Shinian as if he was looking at a loser:
"Big nephew, you can't eat or drink that thing you want, and you can't wear it yet, what are you doing in exchange? Even if you want to change, this price is too expensive, two days ago, someone exchanged ten catties of white flour for the boss for a box of gold and jade, but it is much cheaper than you! ”
After speaking, he shook his head and talked to the two of them about Granny Tian's details, "Granny Tian lives nearby, and she used to have several coal mines at home, and she is a famous big capitalist in Linyang. I guess the old things in my hand are not old or young. In the past, she came to exchange food, and she didn't ask for such a high price, I guess I see that you are a raw face and want to pit you. ”
Yunshang didn't expect Granny Tian to be a capitalist, so she shrank her head and asked secretly, "Uncle, what is Granny Tian doing now?" ”
"Hah! What else do you do? The mustache grinned, "Dig up in the streets!" ”
Yunshang: "......"
Yunshang was really surprised.
The clothes on Granny Natian's body are clean and neat, not only does not have a peculiar smell, but when she is close to people, she also exudes a faint soapy fragrance on her body, which does not look like she is digging out dung.
It's like a kind old lady at home.
Gu Shinian was silent for a moment, put away the remaining flour, said hello to the mustache, and pulled Yunshang out of the stall.
Yunshang was pulled out in a daze, and asked curiously, "Second Brother Gu, what are we going to do?" ”
"Don't you want to go to the black market, I'll show you around the other stalls."
The two walked all the way and found that there were really a lot of things on the black market, including pheasants and hares, vermicelli, soybeans, cornmeal, and castor oil, but there was no white flour.
There are also many kinds of daily necessities, including fabrics, false collars, kitchen knives, soap, charcoal, bamboo baskets, and at the end of shopping, there is also a stall selling old goods, on which are placed five or six half-new watches, a dozen pens, three seventy-percent new leather bags, and two military kettles and old military bags.
Yunshang also wanted to pick up the leak on the thrift stall, but Gu Shinian left directly with his collar.
After walking far away, Gu Shinian put down Yunsheng, saw the grievance on her face, squatted down and said:
"Ah Shang, the things in that stall are all stolen goods, that's the stall where the stolen goods are sold!"
Yun Sheng didn't know how Gu Shinian could see it, but when she heard him say this, she immediately obediently followed him and didn't dare to mess around.
The two of them hastily walked around the black market, and finally bought thirty catties of charcoal, but there was nothing to hold, and they spent an extra dollar to buy the basket of charcoal together.
When Yunshang was shopping in the black market, her eyes looked for Granny Tian in the crowd from time to time, and when she saw Granny Tian walking outside with two big cloth bags on her back, she quickly pulled Gu Shinian's clothes and glanced at Granny Tian's position.
Gu Shinian put the sack in the charcoal basket, and with the help of the stall owner, he picked up the basket and pulled Yunshang to follow quickly.
Granny Tian didn't walk fast, and the things on her body should have some weight, pressing her originally straight back very bent.
Gu Shinian pulled Yunshang and walked a few steps, caught up with Granny Tian, and stretched out his hand to help her behind her back.
And although Yunshang said that she didn't have a very good sense of Granny Tian, her upbringing in her bones also made her unable to give the old lady a cold face.
Granny Tian turned her head, recognized Gu Shinian, and immediately asked with a smile, "Little comrade, there is still a while before half past five, are you coming out?" ”
"Well, when you buy what you need, you don't stay in it." Gu Shinian replied, and then continued, "Comrade, these things of yours are not light, I'll send you back." ”
