Ten days later, Shi Guihua took a small basket of sweet potatoes and two frozen crucian carp melon seeds to the door.

Xu Wenli hurriedly put the radio and milk powder cans into the space, and welcomed Shi Guihua into the door.

"I didn't expect your home to be quite warm, the dragon and phoenix fetus are also fat, Qiaoqiao looks more and more like her mother, Zhuang Zhuang and Jianjun are exactly the same when they were young."

Xu Wenli has never seen Mu Jianjun, but I remember that the novel describes him as having military spirit, being a hero, and being an upright person, and his appearance should not be bad, otherwise he would not provoke Peach Blossom.

"Jianjun's daughter-in-law, the commune organizes a big gathering at the end of the year, everyone can exchange items that are not used at home for the time being, once every five days, do you want to go and see it!"

Daily necessities are available at home, Xu Wenli feels that there is no need to join in the fun, it is better to cook something delicious for the two children at home!

"In the past, my aunt helped me take care of the children, but if you rush to the market to send the culture, I will help you watch it."

Shi Guihua came today for another thing, and looked at no one outside, and whispered to Xu Wenli: "Do you know that there is a black market in the town?" ”

Xu Wenli shook her head.

"Your uncle said that the town and the commune acquiesced to the common people from the twentieth to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the year before the year to go to exchange some food stamps and cloth stamps in private, and there will be a night market every few days, where bicycles and sewing tickets can be bought and sold, and during this time, the pickets will only arrest those who make trouble, and will not arrest those who exchange materials!"

It would be nice if she could go to the night market, Xu Wenli just thought about it, she didn't dare to go to that kind of place alone at night.

"Auntie, I don't have the courage to go to that kind of place, I don't go to work, my family is already tight, but I don't have spare money to think about these things."

Shi Guihua didn't believe Xu Wenli's words, she went to the town again and again, not to the black market, where else could she go?

"You often go out, my aunt wants to ask you to buy some cotton, and my youngest son is going to marry a daughter-in-law during the New Year, why do you have to buy him two sets of new luggage?"

At that time, cotton was in short supply, and even the supply and marketing cooperatives in a small place like Gyeongnam Town could not buy tickets.

Qi Lianfu inquired with the captains of the villages and the people of the commune, but they had no way to get new cotton.

Even if you give it the price of four yuan a pound, you can't buy it.

Shi Guihua saw that Xu Wenli's children were wearing new cotton jackets and new cotton pants, and she secretly checked that they were all new cotton wool, so she made up her mind.

There are more than 1,900 catties of cotton in the space, and Xu Wenli also wants to sell some.

"Don't hide it from my aunt, I know a sister-in-law in the town, she is an aluminum factory worker, and the cotton I used to make cotton clothes and pants for Zhuang Zhuang and Qiaoqiao was bought from her, four yuan a catty, a total of five catties, I used up two catties and three catties."

The price of four yuan was already very fair, and Shi Guihua asked her if she could give her the remaining three catties.

"This is also my aunt, I won't agree to the second person." Xu Wenli climbed onto the kang and took out three bags of snow-white cotton from the kang cabinet.

Mom, this cotton is also too good, Shi Guihua was still complaining in her heart just now that four yuan is a bit expensive, and she was happy to see the cotton.

"Jianjun's daughter-in-law, can you still buy such cotton, I want another ten catties."

"This....... I had to ask the sister-in-law to find out, ten catties was enough to choke, and she said that cotton in the provincial capital also had to be entrusted to someone to get it. ”

"We can't let people help in vain, add three cents more to a pound to her as a benefit fee, do you think it's okay?"

Xu Wenli promised to go to the town tomorrow to help and ask, but she couldn't guarantee if she could get it.

"If only I could buy a new bike or a radio."

It seems that the captain's family is quite rich, Xu Wenli didn't think about selling the bicycles or sewing machines in the space to the villagers, she didn't want to arouse suspicion.

The next day, Xu Wenli sent the child to Shi Guihua's house and left the village, and there were more people going out near the New Year, so she had to walk to the town with the big flow.

There was a pair of sneaky eyes behind her, because there were more people on the road, and Xu Wenli didn't care.

After walking around the town twice, I found a remote place to put on a fake hood, changed my clothes and went straight to the black market.

Qi Erya, who was following her, was proud, thinking about how to blackmail Xu Wenli, but in a blink of an eye, she actually lost the person, and she didn't see Xu Wenli's shadow after looking nearby for a long time.

Where have the people gone? It won't disappear out of thin air, the more this happens, the more it proves that there is something wrong with this Xu Wenli.

She decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to look for it first, and then go to the black market to look around, and if she couldn't find it in the town, she would stay on the way back to the village.

Be sure to catch her handle!

Xu Wenli, who had already entered the black market, was taken aback, it was more lively than the big market, and there were people from the picket team who checked back and forth inside.

Only ordinary people are allowed to exchange some daily necessities and food stamps and cloth stamps, and if they change for large items or buy and sell industrial rolls, they must be registered.

Like buying and selling eggs, cereals, etc., it basically doesn't matter.

Xu Wenli took out some apples and oranges and found a gap to squat down to sell, although there was no shortage of apples and oranges at this time, it was not easy to find such a big one and such a fresh one as she took out.

Usually at most two cents a pound of fruit, she wants to three cents, most people are too expensive, and there are also those who are not bad for money, Xu Wenli wants to find such a customer.

There was a man wearing glasses and a dark blue tunic who picked up more than a dozen oranges and apples in one go, eight catties and three taels, and Xu Wenli asked for eight catties of money.

"Big brother, you are a cadre at first glance, do you have watches to sell?"

The man looked at Xu Wenli for a long time: "I didn't!" ”

"The old ones are fine, I can exchange them for materials, cotton and milk powder!"

The man asked her how to sell cotton, and he had a women's watch at home, and seventy percent of the new ones cost 100 yuan, which could be exchanged for cotton.

Seventy percent of the new watch costs 100 yuan, or women's, Xu Wenli also increased each pound of cotton, five yuan a pound, and twenty pounds of cotton for a watch.

"Can I trade today?"

"It doesn't seem to work here, where do you live, big brother?"

"Then go to the backyard of the town government to trade, when can you deliver the cotton!"

Unexpectedly, this man still eats public food, Xu Wenli decided to develop a long-term customer, and it is more comfortable to deal with people like them.

"See you in half an hour, then!" Xu Wenli replied very cheerfully.

"You'll be met by a middle-aged lesbian who is slightly chubby and has a mole on her chin."

Xu Wenli said that she remembered, and went to the library separately from the man, picked out two copybooks and story books with illustrations, and bought some villain books.

When you put it in the space, I pray that tomorrow there will be some elementary school textbooks and exercise books of this era.

There is nothing to do in winter, just teach children to read and memorize poems at home.

Find a remote party to get a small cart, fill twenty catties of cotton in a clean sack, think about it and take out eight bags of high dry powder, and inquire all the way to the family building that the man said.
