Chapter 13: The Black Market

Being asked by Zhao Xiulan, Wu Jinhua was slightly stunned, and then said, "In these years, how can there be any other way to eat?"

When the food was distributed, everyone had a little bit to eat, and they were able to boil it. When spring begins, go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables to live! I can fill my stomach after all!

However, since last year, the whole country has suffered from natural disasters, and the grain output has plummeted, and everyone's life has become even more difficult!

The life of our brigade is relatively good, the people in the brigade are diligent, they do a lot of work, and the grain harvest is more than that of other brigades, and the captain of the brigade also has foresight, and the reserve of grain is sufficient. I've heard that in some places half the whole village is starving to death!

Not to mention wild vegetables, even the bark and roots are good!

Some really don't have anything to eat, so they go to eat Guanyin soil, and after eating, they can't pull it out, and in the end they are suffocated to death. So, these days, it's too hard to get some food! How can I get something to eat? ”

Zhao Xiulan listened to Wu Jinhua's words and thought about it. She caught up with the three-year famine, during which the country was in short supply of food, and many people starved to death.

Now, if you go out to get food and food, how can you get it?

Zhao Xiulan's eyes showed a touch of loss, and she muttered in her mouth, "Is there no way at all?" ”

Seeing Zhao Xiulan's lost appearance, Wu Jinhua leaned into Zhao Xiulan's ear, lowered her voice, and said a little mysteriously, "Xiulan girl, if you stutter, there is still a way!" You can go to the black market in the county seat! There are a lot of people there who buy things, and as long as you have money, you can buy food, clothes, or other things.

But for us, this place is useless! We can't afford to buy food on the black market!

Because it is not a supply of grain, it is sold at a high price! The grain that used to cost a few cents has to be multiplied several times when it comes to the black market!

We rural people, who can have so much money in their hands?

Moreover, the state is not allowed to engage in this, otherwise if you are caught, you will be opportunistic and you will have to be arrested and imprisoned!

Xiulan girl, no matter how short of food we are, don't think of this method!

My aunt also told you secretly, don't tell me! ”

Zhao Xiulan heard Wu Jinhua's words, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Now that you have this place, it's easy to do!

She has a lot of supplies in her space, maybe she can go back a little and exchange it for what she needs!

It seems that she has to find an opportunity to go to the county seat to make it!

After a few words with Wu Jinhua, Wu Jinhua got up and continued to cut the pigweed.

Zhao Xiulan guarded the two cows and stayed until noon, and only one nest head was issued in the team.

Zhao Xiulan disliked that the wowo head was too hard and unpalatable, so she simply threw it into the space.

There is something else to eat in the space, and she can take it out and eat it!

However, when eating, Zhao Xiulan was very cautious and dared to eat only after confirming that there was no one around. She can't be found out about the good ones she eats!

Zhao Xiulan took out a glass of pure milk, ate a finger cake, and added a barbecue sausage after eating, which was fragrant and oily.

After gobbling it up, my empty stomach was full at this time, and I suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

The things she ate were rare in this era, especially the barbecue sausage, which was definitely a luxury in the era of the Great Famine.

After eating like a thief, Zhao Xiulan tidied up and continued to guard the two cows she had released.
