The small talk before going to bed last night was not fruitless, and the two also chatted about some gossip intimately, and after talking, at least Zhou Jiao got some useful news - every day near the cinema, there were old farmers who brought local products to change things before dawn.

Obedient to this aunt, she exchanged sewing tickets and industrial vouchers for something. At four o'clock in the morning, Zhou Jiao ran to catch up with the aunt, and when she asked a colleague to take over, she immediately followed.

"Little girl, don't make a noise later, if you see what you like, I'll bargain for you."

Zhou Jiao smiled and nodded again and again, using dialect to get close to the other party. She saw that this aunt liked gossip very much and had a girlish heart.

If the average person would take himself a strange little girl to the black market.

But when she arrived at the destination, Zhou Jiao also understood that this was not so much a black market as a morning market. In addition to some local fruits and vegetables, the most common is seafood.

While the aunt was exchanging yellow croaker with someone, Zhou Jiao also borrowed the black satchel as a cover-up, and took ten catties of rice to exchange a lot of local bills with an aunt.

After the aunt finished changing, she turned around and pulled Zhou Jiao back: "You take a look at what you need, I still have to go back to change shifts." ”

"Auntie, go back first. It's interesting, I'll check it out again. ”

The other party was a little hesitant: "Are you really okay alone?" ”

"You see I'm empty-handed." Zhou Jiao spread her hands and gestured, "Wait for the restaurant opposite to open, I'll go back after breakfast." ”

The other party thinks about it, the morning market here will be opened in half an hour, and there is really no danger. She said a few words and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Zhou Jiao is not in a hurry now. Her target was never the petty fights, but the quick-witted old peasants.

Not long after, many people left one after another. Zhou Jiao took a fancy to an uncle, in addition to the fact that the other party was relatively old and a single woman was not suitable for contact with middle-aged people, this skillful technique in trading also made her take a fancy to her. Very decisive, as soon as the time came, I didn't sell any more bags of things, and I just left.

Looking at the other party's deliberate hunchback and bowing his head, plus a pair of cloth shoes stained with mud, such an old man does things neatly and neatly, and he knows how to accept what he sees.

Zhou Jiao followed him silently and walked all the way without saying hello to the other party. If you are a smart person, you must wait until you get out of the safe area and ask yourself.

After walking for five or six minutes, the old man immediately turned around and looked at Zhou Jiao, who was smiling, and shook his head: "Little girl, you should be careful of being abducted again." ”

Zhou Jiao took a step forward and whispered in dialect: "Old man, I want a large amount." ”

"You can see that others look at things, and you look for people inside." The old man threw the bag to Zhou Jiao, "If you can trust it, follow me on your back." ”

Zhou Jiao hurriedly put the bag on the ground on her back and followed closely.

"The old man's surname is Qiao, he is ranked fourth, and he is the handlebar style in our team. The ox cart was outside the city gates, and it took an hour to reach our village. ”

Zhou Jiao understood as soon as she heard it: "Fourth Master Qiao, just rush back before noon." ”

Qiao Siye put his hands behind his back and walked briskly, and said, "When someone asks, you are my granddaughter." ”

"Fourth Master Qiao just calls me Miss Zhou."

After getting on the ox cart, the hour that Qiao Siye said did not arrive. It is estimated that this old man is testing Zhou Jiao's attitude first, and if he shows a trace of hesitation, he will probably find an excuse to run away.

Forty minutes later, Zhou Jiao was taken home by him, and the old man asked his grandson to lead the ox cart to the production team, and he took Zhou Jiao into the yard.

"It's back. This is? ”

Zhou Jiao came in, and a lady came up while wiping her hands.

"Don't ask. This is your granddaughter! The old man shook his hand, "You women are easy to talk to. Take this girl into the house and see what they want. ”

The eldest lady glanced at Zhou Jiao when she heard this, and beckoned to her, "Child, you tell the eldest lady to enter the house." ”

"Fourth grandma, fruits, dried fruits, eggs and meat, if the price can be lower, ask for more."

The old lady looked behind her, "Then how do you take it?" ”

Zhou Jiao saw that the old man smiled and said nothing, she was not polite, and pointed to the other party: "Fourth Master Qiao just send me to the road in front." ”

Qiao Siye bowed slightly to his wife.

If he wants him to say that since the little girl dares to find someone in the black market alone, then she must think about how to take the goods away. You don't need to worry about these at all, just go back and let the eldest son pull it over with a cart.

The eldest lady saw her wife and signaled: "Then you go to the field and talk to the children, uncles and a few of them, let them send things over, remember to avoid some people." ”

Seeing that her wife was gone, she looked at Zhou Jiao: "Little girl, these fruits are not worth much, and the price is easy to say." But the price of eggs and meat is indispensable, and it is not easy for us to get up early and raise these greedily. ”

Zhou Jiao nodded. She didn't think she would be able to buy anything cheaply before she came.

"We are talking ugly ahead, out of this village, if you have an accident, we will not admit it."

"I know the rules."

"That's good. Let's go into the house, and I'll give you a price. If you see the right fit, I'll call someone to ask for more for you. It's almost the end of the year, and many families in the village are waiting for a happy event. If you go past the past two years, you can't buy as much as you want, and you can't buy as much as you want, that is, everyone will be relieved this year......"

Zhou Jiao followed her inside, listening to the old man thinking about the year before last and last year, but she heard that in the past few years, regardless of the north and south of the river, natural disasters and man-made disasters, everyone had a hard time.

Even if Zhou Jiao knew that this self-reserved land would not be taken back in a long time if they tossed it now, she still didn't say a word. There are too many poor people to sympathize.

Especially after the other party actually reported eight cents to herself for an egg, she was even more reluctant to divulge the secret. Don't think she doesn't understand the southern market, she inquired about a lot of prices in the black market in the morning.

No matter how rare an egg is, if it is not sold on the black market, it will be one out of five in the supply and marketing cooperatives, and it is still the best to break the sky. The difference between the south and the north is that the weather is hot, and in the winter hens will lay eggs, which is not as high as in the north. Especially since the free market was opened this year to allow farmers to buy and sell vegetables and fruits, you used to sell eggs to try?

However, after the other party pointed out that the prices of various fruits ranged from five cents to one dime and five, Zhou Jiao didn't bother with her. I belong to the door-to-door slaughter, so I can only bear it.

Buy less if it's expensive, and buy more if it's cheap.

Except for the many varieties of oranges in this place, which will be attractive, there is really nothing worth her buying. Lychee, longan, and dragon fruit bought a lot of them in each place as soon as she came over.

It's just that she gradually got busy and couldn't take care of it. In addition to dried fruits, I would like to add some local specialties such as figs and bananas, otherwise I would not have made a special trip.

"Okay, I see what you mean. The more fruit, the better, right? ”

"Yes. In addition to going back to give benefits to the unit, I can also satisfy my cravings. It's only a month's salary, and I can't afford to buy all the meat. ”

The old lady pointed to the watch she was carrying, "I know this thing." ”

Zhou Jiao raised her eyebrows.

"Hahaha...... Strange, right? There is no shortage of water ghosts in these places, and there are many families who have brothers who escaped earlier, and they will send things over if they are in good condition. ”

"Not worried?" Zhou Jiao asked pointedly.

The old lady smiled meaningfully: "We poor people can't compare with them. Some of the families who were able to go out a few years ago have run away. ”

When it comes to these sensitive topics, Zhou Jiao didn't continue and changed the topic.
