Chapter 34 Black Market Shipments

If you have a bicycle, you don't have to go as bumpy as you do now, and if you mainly want to go to the county seat, it is very convenient, and you can go at any time.

However, it is not easy for people in this era to get a bicycle.

Not only is a bicycle not cheap, it costs more than 100 yuan, but the most important thing is that if you buy a bicycle, you also need a bicycle ticket.

The bikes that can be bought are all in good conditions in the city.

Where can countrymen who have no money and no tickets go to get bicycles?

Zhou Ran thought that he had to make good money, and he could buy one when he turned around.

Later, I will find an opportunity to go up the mountain again, try my luck in the mountains, and see if I can sell some good things to make money.

The tractor was bumped for an hour, but it could be regarded as arriving at the county seat.

Zhou Ran knew that Shen Zhi'an was going to sell goods, so he didn't go with him.

I want to go around the county alone, first understand the county, find out and be familiar with it, and then I can start doing business, right?

Zhou Ran remembered that in the original book, the heroine Xu Jingya relied on her koi luck to make a lot of money by selling goods on the black market, and she also went to the thrift market and garbage station in the county to find a lot of antique treasures.

At this time, those jewelry and the like will be judged to be the corrosion of capitalism, which is very worthless in this era.

Xu Jingya bought these things from people at a low price at this time, and when they came to later generations, many of them were priceless treasures.

It's a pity that the Zhou family is not rich now, and Zhou Ran doesn't have so much money to go to the thrift market or private hands to buy goods.

After arriving in the county seat, Zhou Ran first wanted to find out the location of the black market, and then familiarize himself with the locations of the thrift market and the garbage station.

Anyway, it doesn't take much effort to go to the grocery store to buy spices, and the rest of the time can't be wasted, so it's best to get familiar with the county.

Shen Zhian was in front of her, and she was not good at playing, so Zhou Ran brought up the matter of parting ways.

Shen Zhi'an was not very relieved of her, "Can you be alone?" Why don't I stay with you? ”

Zhou Ran hurriedly waved his hand, "Shen Zhiqing, you are busy with yours, I can do it alone."

I'm so big, who can bully me go.

There will be no danger in this blue sky and white day. "

Shen Zhi'an saw that Zhou Ran insisted, so he didn't say anything more, and told her to be as careful as possible.

What he wants to do today, it is also inconvenient for Zhou Ran to be next to him.

Shen Zhi'an came to the county seat to sell goods this time, and he didn't plan to send the things in his hand to the grocery store, but planned to go to the black market.

In the 70s, everything was supplied by the government, and if there were agricultural and sideline products in private hands, they could also sell them to the public.

It's just that the purchase price of the public is relatively low, and if the same thing is sold on the black market, the price can be several times more expensive.

Because many people have a limited number of tickets, they only have money but no tickets, and they can only go to the black market if they can't buy them from the government.

The black market is a lot more expensive as long as the money is not worth the ticket, and the seller may have to bear the risk of speculation.

Shen Zhi'an has never been a decent person, and the Shen family has dared to break through for several generations.

He knows that wealth is in danger.

If you want to make more money, it is definitely impossible to take the slightest risk.

Shen Zhi'an didn't know where the black market was here, but soon, Shen Zhi'an went to the county seat to inquire and found the place.

With a batch of goods, Shen Zhian went to the black market.

There is a spot in the black market here, and if you go in, you need to pay a dime for caretaking.

Both buyers and buyers need to pay.

However, this money is not paid in vain, there will be guards, if the public security comes to investigate the black market, it will be reported in time to ensure the safety of both buyers and sellers.

Shen Zhi'an followed the rules here, and went in after paying a dime.

As soon as Shen Zhi'an entered with his front foot, Zhou Ran touched the black market with his back foot.

Seeing that he had to pay a dime inside, Zhou Ran gave up.

After all, I neither buy nor sell goods, and it is not cost-effective to pay a dime for nothing.

If you know the place, you will come, and you will come back next time when there is goods.

Zhou Ran left the black market and continued to wander elsewhere.

After Shen Zhi'an entered the black market, he put the goods out.

People who came to the black market to buy goods came to take a look.

Shen Zhi'an brought not bad things, twenty eggs, seven or eight salted fish that had just been dried for many days, and not much fine grain.

For example, eggs are sold in grocery stores, and a pound is five cents, but if they are sold on the black market, they can be sold for one dollar.

Twenty eggs, that is, two catties, were sold for two dollars.

Fresh fish is three cents a catty, and when it is made into salted fish, there will be a certain discount in weight, so the purchase price of a catty of non-staple food stores is four cents, but in the black market, these meats are relatively rare, and they are easy to sell for a catty and a dollar.

Shen Zhi'an's salted fish are a total of eighteen catties, and they can be sold for eighteen yuan.

The price of the few fine grains is much cheaper, and the white flour of rice is about two to three cents.

Shen Zhi'an's goods are rare things on the black market, so as soon as the stall was set up for a while, the things were sold out.

After this trip, Shen Zhian earned twenty-three yuan.

For the wage level in this era, 23 yuan is really a lot, and a normal urban worker can only earn more than 30 yuan a month.

After selling the things, Shen Zhian was ready to close the stall, and he was about to leave with the basket on his back.

Before he got out of the black market, he heard the messenger shouting, "Run, the police are coming to arrest the black market." ”

Hearing this shout, both buyers and sellers hurriedly got up and ran out.

This is speculation, and the consequences of being caught will be very serious.

Shen Zhi'an also fled with the crowd.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man's muffled snort came from behind him.

Shen Zhian looked back at the situation.

The man's words were all pressed on his body.

Fang Cai estimated that he was in a hurry and sprained his foot, and he was sitting on the ground at this time.

It is inconvenient to leave with so many goods, and in such a situation, there is no time to leave.

The middle-aged man tried to get up from the ground, but sat back down.

It can be seen that this person is in a hurry.

Shen Zhi'an thought about it, walked up to this person, dragged her up from the ground, and carried his goods on his body while supporting him.

"Uncle, let's go."

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had met a good person.

With the help of Shen Zhi'an, the two successfully escaped from the black market and arrived in a safe place.

The middle-aged man's hanging heart finally fell, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Shen Zhi'an.

"Little brother, thank you for what happened just now. If it weren't for you, Uncle would definitely be in big trouble today. ”

Shen Zhian waved his hand, "You're welcome." It's just a matter of effort, it's not easy for everyone, and if you have the opportunity to help, you will definitely help by the way. "
