Chapter 21: The Black Market 2
The appearance of the man is that of a worker in the city, and he usually has money and tickets in his hands!
Zhao Xiulan hurriedly walked towards the man, and when she walked to the man's side, she lowered her voice and asked in a low voice, "Comrade, do you want food?" ”
The man looked at Zhao Xiulan with some excitement and surprise, and asked, "Girl, are you ...... Do you have food? ”
Zhao Xiulan nodded.
The man's name is Guo Aidang, and he has just wandered around the black market, wanting to buy some food. But the luck is not so good, I haven't met it yet, but I didn't expect that a person who took the initiative to sell his food came at this time.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Guo Aidang hurriedly nodded, and asked by the way, "Girl, what kind of food do you have here?" And how many? ”
Zhao Xiulan reported all the things in the back basket, "Ten catties of rice, ten catties of white noodles, ten catties of dried noodles!" ”
When Guo Aidang heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
What the?
Ten catties of rice, ten catties of white noodles, ten catties of dried noodles?
Guo Aidang looked at Zhao Xiulan's dress, thinking that Zhao Xiulan was just a countryman, even if she came to resell grain, she could only take out sweet potatoes, sorghum and other coarse grains.
But what did Zhao Xiulan say? There are rice, white noodles, and somen noodles!
These are all fine grains!
Even on the black market, the price is several times higher, and it is not easy to buy fine grain.
Zhao Xiulan not only has fine grains, but also so much!
Guo Aidang thought about it for a while, and then figured it out, maybe people were deliberately dressed up in disguise and came to the black market to resell grain!
Many of the transactions on the black market are disguised, and they are afraid of being discovered by others.
Of course, these Guo Ai Dang don't care, all he cares about is the food in Zhao Xiulan's hands!
He had forgotten how long he hadn't eaten fine grains, and now that Zhao Xiulan said that there was rice, flour, and dried noodles, how could he not be excited!
Guo Aidang hurriedly asked Zhao Xiulan, "Girl, how much is your rice, white noodles, and dried noodles, I want them!" ”
Zhao Xiulan didn't know the specific price on the black market, thinking of the information in the space she had checked before, if you took the food stamps to get the supply in this era, the rice would only cost two or three cents a catty, and the flour would be almost the same as rice. Dried noodles are a little more expensive, and you can buy them for almost five cents a catty. The price on the black market will almost increase tenfold, and some fine grains may not be more than ten times more expensive.
In the case of a severe shortage of supplies, although commercial grain is much cheaper, even if you have money and tickets, it is still difficult to get it from formal channels, otherwise the price of grain on the black market will not be so much more expensive than the supply of grain.
Zhao Xiulan tentatively quoted a price and said, "Rice and white noodles are three yuan a catty, and dried noodles are four yuan a catty."
But if you can have a ticket, rice and white flour cost two yuan a catty, plus half a catty of food stamps. Three pieces of noodles for one catty, plus half a catty of food stamps!
It's okay if you don't have food stamps, just look at it, cloth stamps, sugar stamps, oil stamps, etc., even if it's an industrial stamp! ”
Zhao Xiulan needs money now, and she also needs tickets. Although there are a lot of materials in the space, they can't be taken out at will. If she had all kinds of coupons, she would be able to explain the legitimate source of what she got in the future.
Guo Aidang listened to the price reported by Zhao Xiulan, and was a little stunned, thinking for a while that he had auditory hallucinations in his ears and made a mistake.
Why is this price so cheap?
He buys grain from the night market every month and knows the price. The price quoted by Zhao Xiulan is thirty percent cheaper than what others sell on the black market!
