Chapter 16: Black Market Speculation
Dapeng sighed deeply, remembering that he had invested in the black market after dropping out of school in his golden years, which was to enter the precipice of corruption and degeneration, and thus the pace of his life was thrown into the abyss. Dapeng then confided in Yaqin about his past memories: "I knew a master Liu when I was repairing bicycles when I was in school in Tiezhong, and I asked him for help in the Erma Road Repair Department, and he introduced him to an apprentice in the Tongdong Road Bicycle Department, with a salary of 18 yuan per month, which is also considered to have his own job. The day was very busy, because I put the food relationship in the canteen to live in the car department, my sister-in-law often came to make trouble, she was for my 33 pounds of food, and finally moved my luggage home and became unemployed, I began to live a hungry life again, but I can no longer see the pig food tank on the tofu residue.
On Sunday, my brother took me to the train station, lined up at the railway store to buy cigarettes, it was a paratrooper brand for four cents for two boxes, we queued up five times in a row is twenty boxes of cigarettes, he took me to meet the passengers in the railway station square and asked, "Do you want cigarettes?" One yuan a box was not sold out for a long time, twenty yuan went to the book to make a net profit of eighteen yuan six, the brother was crazy, took me home to see my sister-in-law, this morning earned my brother's half-monthly salary, my brother and sister-in-law saw the light.
From then on, my brother asked me to make cigarettes every day, and he also came to pound and sell them on holidays, and took me to buy food stamps outside a hundred stores, three yuan and five per catty, and sold them to passengers at the railway station for four yuan, and resold fifty catties a day to make a net profit of twenty-five. Not only did I dare to buy and eat outside, but later I was able to go down to the restaurant and have dishes, named snowflake, which is actually fried green onions with tofu dregs, and this tofu dregs is still not as delicious as the pig food tank. Under the chase of the black market management office, I paid at least 20 yuan a day, and my brother could earn 40 or 50 a day to participate, and my brother and sister-in-law were really ecstatic. Later, it was not just a cigarette dumping and food stamps, but also cloth stamps, shoe stamps, soap stamps, sugar stamps, flint stamps, .......
Brother Yan, the manager of the railway station, took me to the East Market, and the black market was crowded with people, all kinds of buying and selling, and I was hoarse, and I made more than ten yuan when I bought a piece of clothes and pants and sold them. There are two consignment shops in the East Market, as long as you go to the queue early to open the door, go inside, go to the counter to see the cloth clothes and pants and let the waiter open a bill, as long as the list is in hand, no one has the right to buy again, and then check the list according to the list to make money to pay, the list that does not make money is thrown away, and the clothes bought by paying money are sold on the black market to earn twenty or thirty yuan.
Each foot of cloth is worth two yuan, the consignment shop negotiator is not assessed according to the value of the cloth ticket, but also consignment five percent of the charge, those who are afraid of losing face do not dare to sell in the market to the consignment point, the bargainer assesses the consignment or to cash, if the consignment not only charges, but also does not know when to sell most of the people want cash. I sold the clothes and pants I bought and went back to the consignment point, and I bought and sold among the people who were queuing up to sell the clothes, "I'll give me cash, sell it to me." "In order to sell a little more money, a lot of them are traded separately.
In this way, you can earn twenty or thirty yuan a day, forty or fifty yuan a day, and tens of thousands of yuan a year. Not to mention starving, rice, white noodles, chicken, fish, meat, and eggs can be eaten and bought. My brother and sister-in-law treated me as a cash cow, smiling and complimenting, almost arching me with a board. The elder brother was playing the piano in high spirits, and the sister-in-law was singing music and stir-frying, and in the years of natural disasters, singing and dancing were peaceful and living a fairy life, and they slept in happiness.
One day I took the bus to the East Market as usual, and the conductor was Li Shuqing, who was determined not to accept the ticket money, and when I got off the bus, I shouldn't have thrown five cents into the money bag in public, and she would cry when her self-esteem was hurt.
My brother took me to start pounding gold. Coincidentally, my brother bought a ring for 27 yuan, and was discovered by a short and fat old man, who took us to the house after the 100th building, and he used a touchstone to check the ring and put it on the scale, saying that it weighed 7 watts, and gave my brother 82 yuan for 12 yuan per watt. The old man introduced: "Now the bank buys 3.07 yuan per watt, you buy 6 yuan per watt, send me this 12 yuan per watt how much you want, remember that every 3.57 watts is a penny, the largest stirrup is only 3 money, the ring must have the origin, foot red, 98 or 99 words, the gold ring is soft, you can straighten it with your hands, don't be fooled, my home is dangerous, you have to be extra careful when you come, don't remember." ”
Since then, my brother has been drilling in the bank when he is free, and when he encounters a ring that sells for double the price, he asked me to carry my schoolbag to deliver it. In order to make more money, my brother followed me, and after I finished trading with the old man, he waited there, and the old man went out and followed him behind, until he followed one in the south market, and then he inquired about the purchase of 18 yuan a tile, the key is to dare to give it to him, so that the old man found out what to do?
On this day, my brother asked me to go to the old man's house with two gold rings on my hand, I walked into the alley with my schoolbag on my back and was shocked, there were three policemen standing at the door, I hesitated for a moment or walked into the house, and two policemen were searching through the cabinets, and the old man said to me in handcuffs: "Go to your second uncle's house for dinner." "I went out of the house, walked out of the alley, got back home, and we didn't dare to buy or sell gold rings again.
My brother went to the pharmacy to buy six packs of hemp xx in the street opening certificate, but the cost of one yuan was sold for twelve yuan, and then my brother asked me to sell anesthetics, and I shouted in the east market: "Ma x Su! hemp x suo tincture! Suo x pain! Ammonia x plus! ammonia x alkali! Benyl xxxxx! Deoxy hydrochloride xx alkali!" These drugs contain the ingredients of big smoke and are strictly forbidden drugs. And my brother can buy a certificate from the hospital for 168 yuan on the black market, and then spend 168 yuan to buy 3,000 pieces of coffee x five bottles of xx tincture in the medicine store, and a bottle of xx tincture can be sold for a minimum of 50 yuan. As soon as they shouted at the market, people who bought the medicine immediately gathered around them, and they should sell out the medicine as soon as possible, and be highly vigilant that the market management office would arrest people.
In the bitter cold of winter, I wore Lenin's short white curly fur hat and shouted the name of the medicine, and two people with red armbands came and pulled me to the management center. The medicine on my body was searched, and a girl sat next to me on a bench, she was also arrested for selling medicine, probably because she was wearing a Lenin hat and she thought I was a woman, and the people in the management office asked us to fill out the form, warn us, confiscate all the medicines, and finally let the two of us go.
My brother started to make fake drugs again, and he not only bought six packs of real xx vegetarian tablets, but also bought six large bottles of vitamin Baoning tablets, replaced the trademark and put real xx vegetarian tablets on top of VB tablets, so that I could wholesale drug dealers in the market. Although this medicine does not hurt people, but after all, it is cheating money, and I can't do it often in the market, so my brother took me to Longjiang, Harbin, and Changchun, and I was not only arrested in the Changchun market, but also sent to the Mengjiatun Shelter to unload coal and work for a month. Since then, bad luck has been approaching me, Yang Qingan was transferred from the police station to the sub-bureau, and because of his appearance, he had an indissoluble grudge with his brother.
Xia Chenglin was released in the labor camp for two years, and he not only kidnapped, injured, and coerced me into burglary in the East Market, but I finally stepped into the abyss in his plan, and now I am getting deeper and deeper and unable to extricate myself.
"Yaqin, it's past one o'clock in the middle of the night, let's talk about this today, okay?"
"Okay, don't live up to my mother's kindness, you must come tomorrow." ”
Dapeng agreed, they still hugged, spent that precious fourth date night, and finally broke up reluctantly. See Chapter 17: Xia Chenglin's Kidnapping.
