When Song Hongguo went out, it was only six o'clock, and it was just hazy, along the stone road in the middle of the village, she only saw a few people who came out to fetch water along the way, she didn't know her, so she didn't take the initiative to say hello, but the other party stared at her for a long time.

When she arrived at the commune, she went straight to the black market, yes, she didn't need to inquire to know where the black market was, because in her previous life, she heard the old dean talk about it in the orphanage, and her tone was still very embarrassing, the black market elsewhere is like a rat crossing the street, but here in Nandian Commune, it is almost a tacit existence, and the people above turn a blind eye, as long as it doesn't make a big fuss.

There is no other reason, the aluminum factory is here, 10,000 employees, hundreds of thousands of workers' families, such a huge consumer group, how can there be no black market?

Who doesn't lack things these days? Blocking other people's roads is also blocking your own roads.

However, for safety, Song Hongguo disguised himself before he went, replaced his military coat with an old cotton jacket, wrapped it in a scarf and only showed a pair of eyes, and bought a black-framed flat mirror from the supermarket to put it on.

There are people in the yard to guard it, in case something is found wrong, it is convenient to ventilate and report.

Song Hongguo is head back, naturally with a fresh face, the other party stared at her with suspicion in his eyes, and the question was also very polite, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”

"Uncle, I want to buy a few pieces of glass." Song Hongguo looked very calm, and deliberately changed the local accent when speaking, "I don't have enough industrial rolls in my hand." ”

The other party frowned and asked, "What else do you want to buy besides glass?" ”

"If there was cement and coal, I would like to buy some of it."

Hearing this, the other party's brows furrowed even tighter, "Gone?" ”

Who comes to the black market, who doesn't want to buy grain, meat, or cloth? What is rare is the radio, or the exchange of watch tickets or bicycle tickets, sewing tickets and the like, glass and cement are not absent, but there are not a few all year round.

But he saw that Song Hongguo was not panicked at all, and there was no uneasy aura on his body, so he thought about it and waved his hand, "Go in, talk less, inquire less, and leave quickly after buying." ”

"Okay, thank you, uncle." Song Hongguo walked a few steps, turned back, took out a box of cigarettes from the canvas bag and handed it over.

The other party took two steps back in shock, "What is this for?" ”

Song Hongguo said sincerely, "Uncle, my head is back, my eyes are black, please give me some guidance, it is best to buy all the work from one person, and save me from asking everywhere." ”

Hearing this, the other party hesitated to take it, "You go out the back door and keep walking east, and when you go to the end, you see someone wearing a blue cotton jacket, you can look for him." ”

Nine out of ten people wear blue cotton jackets these days, right? Song Hongguo asked helplessly, "Men and women?" How big? How tall? Is the name easy to say? ”

The other party glanced at her, "Man, seventeen or eighteen years old, not tall, you can just call him a thin monkey." ”

“……”

A box of cigarettes in exchange for so much news is worth it, Song Hongguo thanked him, and asked more, "Your old surname?" ”

"What's expensive? The old man's surname is Hu. ”

"Okay, then Uncle Hu, you're busy, see you back."

Song Hongguo left, Uncle Hu took out a cigarette and sniffed it, muttering, "This girl doesn't look very old, but she is quite good at talking, and she is quite old-fashioned, is she a newcomer to the factory?" ”

If Song Hongguo heard this, she had to sigh with emotion, she went out the back door, and she didn't look around, she went straight to the east, at this time, there are not many people on the black market, after all, it is a shameful thing, so everyone is used to taking advantage of the dark, there are sellers on both sides of the street, with baskets or sacks, things are hidden, don't come forward to ask, don't know what the other party is selling, and ask the price is also compared with hands, like a joint to a code.

When she walked to the end, she saw a man in a blue cotton jacket, to be precise, a half-grown child, Uncle Hu said that he was seventeen or eighteen, she looked at at most fourteen or fifteen, his hair was unkempt, his hands were in his sleeves, sitting crookedly on the stone in the corner of the wall, staring at her.

Song Hongguo shouted tentatively, "Thin monkey? ”

The thin monkey straightened up, "Who are you?" ”

Of course, Song Hongguo won't report to his family, "I came here after hearing Uncle Hu, I want to buy something, I don't know if you have anything here?" ”

Hearing Uncle Hu's name, the thin monkey's heart was put down, and the people who Uncle Hu's eyes had seen would have no problem nine times out of ten, "What do you want to buy?" ”

"Glass, cement, coal."

“……”

Good guy, they are all big items, if this is replaced by someone else, it will definitely be difficult to find, but there is Brother Zeng standing behind him, and he can get any rare things, "How much do you want?" ”

Hearing this, Song Hongguo's eyes lit up, sure enough, there is no shortage of masters on the black market, you must know that these things are not only bought with money and tickets, but also need a certificate issued by the unit, such as coal, you have to ask for a coal book, only workers have it, and the supply every month is counted, even if there is a coal mine in the local area, it is also used for production in the factory first.

Song Hongguo had already measured the size of the doors and windows before, and he knew how much glass he needed, and he also roughly estimated the cement and coal, and reported a number to him.

The skinny monkey was taken aback, "Why do you need so much glass?" ”

"There are many doors and windows in the house." There are more than three main rooms, she even counts the three rooms of the East Bungalow, the three rooms of the West Bungalow, in the middle is the original Uncle Cheng's carpentry room, and now there is only a large long table left, and there are some farm tools, and the other two small cubicles, one stores grain, and the other also has a kang, which is considered a guest bedroom, and it is not used at present, it doesn't matter if it is equipped with glass or not, just paste a layer of newspaper.

The thin monkey smacked his tongue, "That's not cheap." ”

"How much?"

The thin monkey calculated for a while before giving her a number.

"Sixty? Don't want any tickets? ”

The thin monkey nodded, "Don't think it's expensive, these things, if you change them, no one will be able to buy them for you." After speaking, he added, "The main thing is that glass is expensive, and cement and coal are easy to handle." ”

"Understood." Song Hongguo didn't bargain, only made a request, "Can it be delivered as soon as possible?" I'm anxious to use it. ”

"You want a lot of things, no matter how fast you are, you have to get the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, do I need a deposit?"

"You give five."

Song Hongguo had no opinion, counted five yuan from the bag and gave it to him, thought about it, and asked, "Is rice and white flour easy to buy?" What's the price? ”

"That's a rarity." The thin monkey shook the money in his hand, "That's all, buy two catties at most, sweet potato noodles and stick noodles are cheap, only half the price." ”

Half of the price is more than one piece, and if there is a ticket in the grain station, it only costs one cent and two, which is ten times worse.

"Do you want to? I'll be able to get it for you right now. ”

Song Hongguo shook her head, made an appointment with him to come the day after tomorrow, and left, she wanted to sell food, but she was not familiar with the other party, and there were certain risks in doing business, so let's wait until later.
