Chapter 16: The Old Lady

Ye Wanying followed the old lady to the corner, and the old lady asked quietly, "Girl, are you here to sell grain?" The old lady's expression was a little nervous, and her eyes were looking around.

"Auntie, do you want to buy food?" But why is this old lady so sharp-eyed? Do you know that you are here to sell grain?

The old lady nodded: "Can you show me?" "Asked.

At this time, someone passed by on the road not far away, and the eldest lady pulled Ye Wanying into a deeper corner, and did not come out until those people walked by.

"Hey, we're scared...."

Listening to the old lady's sigh, Ye Wanying also understood that she had heard her grandmother talk about those days.

I didn't expect this parallel time and space to be like this.

Obviously, it's the late 80s now, and the policy hasn't completely come down, but it shouldn't be far off...

Changing to holding the child in one hand, the little one in his arms fell asleep at some point, put down the back with the other hand, and then gently lifted the cloth covering it, revealing a corner:

"Auntie, my family's food is excellent, look at it!"

The old lady glanced at it, and when she saw the rice in the basket, she was also shocked:

"I haven't seen such good rice for many years, the grains are plump and large, girl, your family must be good at growing crops!"

The old lady's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, but she was happy, and her mouth was even more stingy in praise.

Ye Wanying responded casually, but she also understood one thing, if her rice leaked out, it would definitely cause big trouble.

I was negligent for a while, forgetting that almost all the grains in this era were coarse grains and brown rice, and the long ones were shriveled and shriveled, and the color was not right. It can be said that there is almost no such white, plump and large-grained rice on the market!

For a while, the alarm bell in Ye Wanying's mind rang, a sad face rose, and finally she let out a long sigh:

"Hey, auntie, you don't know, these rice are all planted by our family with a lot of effort, and a large piece of land has received this little bit of grain, and the rest are either empty shells, or they are not full of heart, because the family really can't open the pot, and they are still nursing their children, so they won't take out this grain and sell it!" It took our family three days and three nights to pick out these rice! ”

In this era, there are really not many wealthy people, and the old lady seems to have some empathy, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes:

"yes, when will this day be a head! We have to be careful even when we go out to buy groceries, otherwise we will be capped by accident, and if I hadn't been thinking about the children, I wouldn't have been able to survive the old woman..."

Regarding the old lady's words, Ye Wanying kept it in her heart: she must be careful and careful, fortunately, there will be two or three years at most, and the days will come to an end, and patience will pass.

When the new era comes, it is the best time!

The old lady was sad for a while, and finally recovered, feeling a little embarrassed, and smiled apologetically at Ye Wanying: "Girl, how do you sell this rice?" "Asked.

Ye Wanying had seen the price of rice in the street shop before, brown rice was cheaper, more than two cents and a catty, and polished rice, which was several times worse than her own composition, was four cents a catty, which was twice as expensive as brown rice.

However, the price on the market is not counted on the black market, and the same thing must be at least several times higher on the black market.

"I'm also here for the first time, I don't know much about the market, how much do you give, auntie?"

cough, it's better to play the village girl of a good honest Muna, and the safety factor is doubled!
