Xia Zhi thought about it, and now the market price of rice is one dime and eighty-one catties, but in the black market, grain is definitely more expensive.

Xia Zhi said, "Two cents and five pounds of rice, no food stamps, three cents and one pound of noodles, and fifteen yuan a can of milk powder." ”

When the eldest lady heard this, the price of the summer solstice was much cheaper than that of those people on the black market.

The eldest lady hurriedly said, "Girl, you are waiting for me here, and I will go home and get the money." ”

Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Auntie, if you have food stamps, you can use the industrial coupons to exchange things for me." ”

The eldest lady nodded again and again, left without looking back, and didn't ask where Xia Zhi put her things.

Xia Zhi stood at the mouth of the alley, feeling a little apprehensive, seeing that there was no one left and right, Xia Zhi took a look at the surrounding environment, and calmly walked to a more inconspicuous alley not far away.

In less than five minutes, Xia Zhi saw the eldest lady coming in a hurry from a distance, Xia Zhi looked behind the eldest mother, and did not see any suspicious characters, so he was relieved, stood at the mouth of the alley, and waved his hand at the eldest mother.

The eldest lady is also experienced, these workers have spare money in their hands, but they can't eat any good things, and they don't go to the black market once or twice, so they are no strangers to this kind of thing.

The eldest lady hurriedly walked to Xia Zhi's side and took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and the handkerchief was bulging.

The eldest lady opened the handkerchief carefully, and Xia Zhi saw that there was a pile of money inside, a few big solidarities, and the rest were five cents a piece, and even a few cents.

The eldest lady said to Xia Zhi, "I want ten catties of rice, ten catties of noodles, and two cans of milk powder." ”

Xia Zhi took the money, counted it carefully, and said, "Okay." ”

Immediately afterwards, the eldest lady skillfully took out a cloth bag from her pocket, this bag was stacked, it didn't seem to be very big, but when the eldest mother opened it, the cloth bag was really not small.

Xia Zhi understood at a glance that this lady had not bought food on the black market once or twice, and she was very experienced.

Xia Zhi didn't say anything, so he poured ten catties of rice for the eldest mother, weighed ten catties of noodles, and took two cans of milk powder.

The jar of milk powder has been replaced by the summer solstice and replaced with a transparent glass jar.

The eldest lady opened the glass jar, and the smell of milk immediately made the eldest lady smile.

The rice and noodles given by Xia Zhi were not short of catties or two, and the eldest lady said with satisfaction, "You girl is really doing business." ”

Xia Zhi thought for a while and said, "Auntie, do you see any of your acquaintances who also want to buy things?" ”

The eldest lady was busy, "Of course there is, the eldest lady will call someone for you." ”

The eldest lady took her things home first, and then went to find someone she knew.

People who are familiar with the eldest mother often go to the black market to buy food, no one wants to report them, it is not easy to buy some food, if the black market is gone, it will not be good for them.

After about ten minutes, Xia Zhi saw the eldest lady leading a group of women to the mouth of the alley.

Xia Zhi was so frightened that he hurriedly looked around, but he didn't see any suspicious characters, so he was relieved.

This group of women came to the alley around Xia Zhi, lowered their voices, and said to Xia Zhi, "I want 20 catties of rice..."

"I want ten pounds of noodles..."

"I want two buckets of milk powder..."

These women are very experienced in buying things, and they don't delay after buying them, and they leave immediately.

It's not just Xia Zhi who is worried about being caught, they are also worried about being seen.

After the group of women left, Xia Zhi looked left and right in the alley, and saw that there was no one, so he hurriedly received the things in the space and hurried away.

In this way, Xia Zhi wandered around this factory area for two hours before leaving, and he didn't dare to count how much money he earned, so he hurried back to the guest house.

Until she entered her room and closed the door, Xia Zhi covered her fluttering heart, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and a smile curled up at the corner of her mouth, this kind of tension and excitement was something she had never experienced.

However, Xia Zhi also knows that this kind of thing will be done less in the future, and if someone is caught, he will at least squat in prison for more than ten years.

Now that it's safe, Xia Zhi put all the money in the space on the bed.

The crumpled money is so cute in Xia Zhi's eyes, Xia Zhi first picked up the big unity one by one, and counted it to be fifteen or six hundred yuan.

I didn't expect to have so much money, Xia Zhi smiled and squinted, folded the change one by one, counted it, and there were six hundred and sixty-eight yuan and three cents and two cents, and more than two thousand yuan were received at once.

Xia Zhi felt a lot more steady, took off his gray coat, put on an army green coat, and wrapped a white scarf, Xia Zhi walked out of the guest house again and went to the Chinese medicine shop.

The old gentleman also knew Xia Zhi, and as soon as Xia Zhi entered the door, the old gentleman smiled and said, "Girl, why are you here again?" ”

Xia Zhi said with a smile, "Old comrade, I came to buy those three old ginsengs that are more than 100 years old." ”

The old gentleman was surprised, "You want to buy all three?" ”

It takes 1,500 yuan to participate in the three old mountains, which is definitely a huge amount of money in this era!

Xia Zhi smiled, as if he didn't see the surprise on the old gentleman's face, took out the fifteen hundred yuan that had been prepared long ago from his arms and put it on the counter, and said, "You count." ”

After all, this Chinese medicine shop is state-run, and the old gentleman didn't dare to be careless, so he picked up the pile and counted it carefully, the number was no more, no less, just right.

The old gentleman said, "That's a good number." ”

The old gentleman carefully put the money in the drawer, then took out three small wooden boxes from the wooden box, opened them one by one, and said to Xia Zhi, "Girl, my family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, I started to recognize medicine when I was a child, and I will also tell you the bottom, these three old ginseng are more than one hundred and twenty years old, it is definitely good ginseng, you buy it carefully, you will not suffer." ”

Xia Zhi nodded again and again, "I remember your old words." ”

The old gentleman nodded and handed the three hundred-year-old ginseng to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi said, "Sir, give me three more fifty-year-old ginseng." ”

When the old gentleman saw that Xia Zhi was generous, he nodded, and helped Xia Zhi choose three fifty-year-old mountain ginseng.

Immediately after Xia Zhi, he bought some snow clam oil, deer antler horn and some other rare medicinal materials, and finally checked out, Xia Zhi spent 2,000 yuan in the Chinese medicine shop.

Xia Zhi carried these things and happily returned to the guest house.

Xia Aiguo's room has not moved, presumably the child is still asleep, Xia Zhi looked at his watch, it was almost 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Zhi was busy putting things into the space, and then knocked on Xia Aiguo's door.

Xia Aiguo opened the door in a daze, and Xia Zhi said, "Go wash your face, it's time for us to eat." ”

Xia Aiguo answered, and went back to his room, and after a while, he got dressed and walked out, the whole person seemed to be much more energetic, the young man was full of energy, and after sleeping for so long, his spirit had recovered.

Xia Zhi led Xia Aiguo to the restaurant for another meal, and in the afternoon, the two walked around the city of Harbin, and Xia Zhi wanted to buy something, so Xia Aiguo stopped him.
