Chapter 96: Black Market (2)
"No, you stay here honestly, this bag of flour is sold, I'll take you around again."
Gu Shinian didn't have to be so careful, but when he entered the door, the toll collector's words of special reminder made him realize that in the dark corner of the courtyard that the lights could not shine, he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the people in the black market.
And when the toll collector sent them over, he deliberately scolded him loudly: After seeing the world, he quickly took his sister home.
The subtext of this sentence has already set a place for him, that is, there is no shortage of food and clothing at home, and children with money and leisure come out to see the world.
This is also to tell the people in the black market that these two children are here to play, not fat sheep born with some face.
Dozens of catties of white noodles, after the petty transaction, you can go home after seeing the world.
I have to say that what the toll collector said not only gave the two people security, but also restricted their freedom to trade.
In addition to the bag of flour on the surface, the two of them are not suitable for making more transactions, once they have more things, it is not a sentence of 'seeing the world' that can fool the past.
Gu Shinian is very sober, this is a provincial capital, not Qinghe County, the two of them rushed into such a big black market trading place like a stunned head, it is better to be careful in everything.
After getting along for many years, Gu Shinian also knew that Yunshang was a soft-faced, but a little stubborn and a little rebellious in his bones, worried that Yunshang would not take his words to heart, grabbed her arm, and trapped her in his arms without saying a word.
Yunshang didn't expect that Gu Shinian not only rejected her suggestion, but also trapped her by her side, and was very dissatisfied, but with her understanding of Gu Shinian and her new appointment, Yunshang still didn't resist, and obediently nested in Gu Shinian and didn't move again.
At this time, there were already seven or eight people in front of the stall, and the people who asked Jing Baimian before who couldn't walk away leaned down and looked at it for a long time, then raised his head and asked, "Little comrade, your white face is good, I'll give you another three points, how about selling me all your bags?" ”
Add three more points to be six cents and three cents, and the price of fine white noodles was still five pieces some time ago, which rose by another one cent and three.
And looking at this person's appearance, he should be a second-class dealer, buying a piece of six cents and three cents, and when he sells it, it is estimated that it will rise by a few cents.
How much has the black market grain risen?
These thoughts flashed by, Gu Shinian came back to his senses and smiled at the other party, "Uncle, I don't sell money, I just want some strange bills or old objects." ”
The man slowly straightened up, glanced at Gu Shinian, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Strange bills? Little comrade, the price of this strange bill is not easy to determine. Take the bicycle ticket as an example, if I come across it, I can collect one for twenty or thirty yuan, and if I can't touch it, I can't find it for fifty or sixty yuan. Recently, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and bicycle tickets are in demand, and they are sold for about 70 yuan. ”
I don't know if it's the rules of the black market, or if these two dealers are like snakes on the black market, when he said the price, the people around him tacitly took a few steps back and looked at this side from a distance.
Gu Shinian turned his head slightly sideways to look at the mustache in the stall next door, and when he saw that his chin was light, he knew in his heart that this person was not making up nonsense to fool him.
Turning around, he still smiled and said, "Uncle, the strange ticket I said doesn't mean a bicycle ticket, I have a bicycle at home, and it's useless for me to ask for a bicycle ticket." However, my sister likes to eat bread, and if my uncle has overseas Chinese remittance coupons in his hand, I want to exchange two overseas Chinese remittance coupons to buy bread for my sister-in-law. ”
Gu Shinian also touched Yunsheng's head as he spoke, looking like a good brother.
Yun Sheng hurriedly tilted her head and nodded, and tacitly cooperated with Gu Shinian, "That's it, I haven't eaten bread for a long time!" ”
The man didn't expect Gu Shinian to want overseas Chinese remittance coupons, his face was embarrassed, and he stood in front of the stall for a long time before turning around and leaving without saying a word.
It may be that Gu Shinian doesn't want money, as long as there are strange bills and old objects, no one came over before the stall for a while.
The mustache in the stall next door leaned over and reminded him in a low voice, "Big nephew, don't worry, where is this, now there are many second-class dealers in this yard, and you don't have old objects in these people's hands." Wait, in a minute or two, then the person who will come will be the real buyer. ”
Gu Shinian thanked the other party, and while looking at the goods on the surrounding stalls, he quietly inquired with everyone about the prices of various grains on the black market.
In the end, it was concluded that the black market fine grain had indeed risen by more than two cents compared with last month, and that is, coarse grain, which had also risen by about one cent.
Time passed quickly, and there were more people in the courtyard unconsciously, and there were also many people in front of Gu Shinian's stall who asked for the price, knowing that he wanted overseas Chinese remittance coupons or old objects, many people sighed and left.
Gu Shinian was not disappointed, and the old god was still waiting for customers to come to the door.
Soon, an old lady with white hair and a thin body, but with a straight back, stood in front of the stall:
"Little comrade, do you really want old things?"
"Yes, comrade, do you want to change?"
"Little comrade, do you look at these things?"
The old lady walked in, took out a cloth bag from her arms, and turned sideways to show Gu Shinian what was inside.
Yunshang was in Gu Shinian's arms, and he clearly saw that in the cloth bag was a palm-sized jewelry box, which contained a pair of jade bracelets, and three jade pendants of the same material were placed in the bracelet.
Even if it was just a shallow glimpse, Yunshang was amazed by the bright green of the box.
It can be seen that this jade bracelet and jade pendant should come from the same piece of seed material.
Moreover, there is plenty of water!
Gu Shinian's eyes moved out of the box and glanced at the old lady quietly.
Even if she was wearing an old cotton jacket, there were a few patches neatly on the cotton jacket, but Gu Shinian could still see at a glance that the cotton jacket on the old man's body was very thick, and the patches were also deliberately put on.
This is a family with a family.
With the bottom in his heart, Gu Shinian asked the other party first, "Comrade, how much grain do you plan to exchange for these things?" ”
The old lady stood up straight, thought about it for a long time, and said tentatively in her tone, "Forty catties of white noodles and thirty catties of national food stamps?" ”
The mustache next door hit the old lady and paid attention to this side since she came over, and when she saw that the old lady asked for seventy catties of fine grain, she immediately laughed.
"I said Granny Tian, your knife is too greedy! Don't look at my eldest nephew and come to fool him! With your little family foundation, can it be worth seventy catties of fine grain? Do you know what the price of 70 catties of fine grain is now? That's two hundred pounds of coarse grain! Besides, my eldest nephew has a fine white face in his hands, not a rich and strong fan! ”
