Chapter 37: Go to the county seat
The man who sold pork frequently cast his eyes on the basket carried by Chen Xiuyun, and finally couldn't hold back and asked the price.
"How do you sell it?"
The pork seller saw that Chen Xiuyun was wrapped so tightly, and he couldn't tell his age, so he stared at the pastries in the basket after taking a look.
Chen Xiuyun said: "Don't have a ticket, a dime and a half." ”
The pork seller smashed his mouth, it was a bit expensive, but a piece of fat cake didn't look small, he sold a pound of pork himself was ten times that of the fat cake, and he could still afford to buy it, but he still had to bargain.
"It's a bit expensive, the fruit in the supply and marketing cooperatives is only a dime more expensive than yours, and you don't have a pound."
Chen Xiuyun said: "I use all the precious things. ”
The pork seller saw that she didn't let her at all, so he had to take an egg cake decorated with red date meat first.
The man who sold pork ate it when he got it, and Chen Xiuyun also saved the oil paper, and she didn't have much oil paper, of course, she could save it.
The man sat back on his stall to eat, the more he ate, the more reluctant he was to eat, he only knew how light this cake was when he got it, and there was nothing left when he pressed it down, although the amount was small, but it was really delicious and fragrant.
After eating, the man smashed his mouth, remembering the black and red pastries in Chen Xiuyun's basket, he simply got up and bought one of the two each.
Chen Xiuyun sold three yuan out after a while, and other people who came to the black market to buy things saw the way the man bought after eating, and also came to surround Chen Xiuyun.
Some people asked if it was too expensive, and Chen Xiuyun said that they used all good things.
In short, she only brought eight pieces of pastry, and it was sold out in less than a while, and one piece of two was in hand, Chen Xiuyun was in a good mood. She thinks she'll be able to sell it out next time she triples the amount. After walking for more than two hours, I put a few pieces of hair cake in the basket, and the hair cake is not as heavy as the basket, which is really not worth it.
It's almost the Chinese New Year, and there are more people coming to the black market, and Chen Xiuyun doesn't want to give up this time. Thinking of this, she was suddenly stunned, and then a smile appeared in her eyes, yesterday she also said that the little girl was tossing blindly, and now that she has tasted the sweetness, she has to continue to do it herself.
When Chen Xiuyun walked home, when she arrived outside the village, she took off the cloth of Baotou and wrapped it around her neck, and simply dug up wild vegetables on the side of the road.
Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu have already eaten and left food for Chen Xiuyun, and the livestock at home have also been fed.
After Chen Xiuyun came back, Jiang Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief, if she was caught speculatively in these years, but it was not a small crime, she was afraid that something would happen to Chen Xiuyun, would it be that she had harmed her?
It seems that nothing special happened to be able to come back so early.
Chen Xiuyun ate and drank to her heart's content, and quickly used the old noodles to live another pot of noodles, which seemed to be more than double the amount of yesterday.
It takes several hours for the red dates to be soaked in the pot before they are steamed in the pot, and the morning is to make preparations.
After finishing the preparations, Chen Xiuyun also followed the two sisters to read a book, and for a while, the courtyard was quite quiet.
In the middle of the afternoon, the mother and daughter ate and read a book, and then began to work.
This time, I made six pots, and it took nearly two hours to steam for fifteen minutes after the water was boiled.
After steaming, Chen Xiuyun let the sisters eat one each, and she was going to sell the rest tomorrow.
The sisters asked her to eat it, but she didn't eat it, insisting on saving it and selling it for money.
The cake is generally not heavy, but a basket can't fit it, so Jiang Xinyu took the opportunity to mention that she was going to go.
Chen Xiuyun was originally unwilling, but her daughter was coquettish and stupid, and she finally agreed.
However, Chen Xiuyun's plan is different from Jiang Xinyu's.
Chen Xiuyun agreed to the little girl's go, because she wanted the little girl to carry the basket and wait for her to get the goods after selling the basket, she would not let Jiang Xinyu go to the black market, after all, there was a risk.
The next day, Jiang Xinyu probably got up at about four o'clock, and the chickens in the team didn't crow. They don't have a watch, and it all depends on Chen Xiuyun's intuition to get up.
Today, she put on the military coat and wrapped her head and face with a cloth, Jiang Xinyu walked out of a sweat, and the way to school was the same, she thought she had walked for several hours, but in fact it was only more than three hours.
By the time we arrived at the county seat, it was already dawn.
Chen Xiuyun arranged for her to wait for her at the corner of the state-run hotel, but Jiang Xinyu couldn't help it, so she had to sit on the side of the road with a basket.
Jiang Xinyu thought that she could see the black market today, but she was not allowed to enter with her.
Jiang Xinyu held the basket, her head resting on it, and her eyes were closed listlessly. Fortunately, I wore thick today, and I wore two pairs of socks, so it would not be cold to sit here.
"Comrade, what are you selling here?" A small voice rang in her ears.
Jiang Xinyu opened her eyes and saw a middle-aged man with a slight head and stomach, dressed decently, and the materials of the clothes on his body were really good, this person did not speak with the accent of Yu Province, and spoke standard Mandarin.
Jiang Xinyu said vigilantly in her heart: "I'm not selling things, I'm sitting like this, if you buy something, go to the food station and the supply and marketing cooperative, there is still a state-run restaurant behind me, and I also sell food." ”
The gay man smiled: "I smell it, a smell of jujubes." ”
Jiang Xinyu: "..."! The nose is really pointy enough!
She rolled her eyes and said, "I gave my aunt in the county town a jujube cake, I made it myself, I didn't sell it, but I can't find where her house is now." ”
The man looked around and saw that there was no one, and said, "Open the basket and I'll take a look." ”
Jiang Xinyu lifted a corner, and then lifted the corner of the oil paper, and the fragrance was even stronger.
The man's eyes were stunned, and he lowered his voice and said, "Tell me a price." ”
Jiang Xinyu felt that this uncle was really inexplicable, he wouldn't be here to fish and enforce the law, she shook her head, "This is made by her own family and given to relatives, if you buy pastries, go to the supply and marketing cooperative." ”
The man really didn't expect Jiang Xinyu to continue to be strong. If he had a ticket to buy pastries at the supply and marketing cooperatives and food stations, he would have taken the risk of going to the side of the road and asking her what she was doing. If he hadn't been in the local area for two days and hadn't been able to touch the black market, he wouldn't have tried his luck here.
"Little girl, hurry up, tell me the price, we won't know each other after the silver and goods are gone."
This sentence touched Jiang Xinyu, so she also said happily: "One piece is one dime and five, I have nine pieces here, and the eggs and dates are four and five pieces respectively." ”
The rest were all in Chen Xiuyun's place, and they were sold on the black market.
The man said cheerfully, "I want it all." He quickly ordered a piece of three cents and five to Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu wrapped up the pastry, and when she was thinking that it was difficult for this person to take so much, the uncle took out a folded cloth bag from the pocket on his waist.
After the transaction, Jiang Xinyu hurriedly carried the basket to transfer the position.
