When Luo Jinping heard the voice, he stopped and looked back suspiciously.

Seeing that it was Yang Xiaole running over, he stopped and waited.

When he ran closer, he asked strangely, "What's wrong?" Looking for me something? ”

Yang Xiaole just didn't answer him with an 'um' sound, but turned his head and shouted in the direction of Yang Guangzhi: "Dad, Teacher Luo is here!" Rest assured. ”

Seeing that Yang Guangzhi stopped and didn't come, he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that it is better to go to school as soon as possible.

Look for an opportunity to hang out.

Then he said to Luo Jinping: "Let's go, Mr. Luo, I have something to tell you." ”

Luo Jinping didn't suspect anything.

Nodding, the two of them walked towards the dimly lit street.

While walking, Yang Xiaole said nonsense:

"Teacher Luo, in fact, I came to you about my sister's schooling, my father doesn't want my sister to go to school, but I want her to go to school."

Luo Jin nodded approvingly, "Well, going to school is a good thing, only by going to school can you learn knowledge, gain skills, and at the same time, enrich your spirit and get spiritual enjoyment." ”

Then he sighed: "But the current situation is like this, there is no way, whether you can go to school or not depends on the family situation, if it is beyond the scope of your ability, there is no need to force it." Forcing it down is not necessarily a benefit. ”

Yang Xiaole nodded when he saw this, looked back, and saw that he couldn't see his father anymore.

He smiled and said, "That's okay, I'll go back first, Mr. Luo, you can go home, but next time my father and my mother ask, you can also help talk, so that my sister can go to school." ”

Luo Jinping agreed with a smile: "Okay, I know, you go back!" ”

"Then good Teacher Luo, I'll go first!"

After saying that, he said hello and trotted towards the back.

Looking at the back of Yang Xiaole leaving, Luo Jinping shook his head, nothing should happen with such a short road.

And there are many cars along the way to the vegetable market from this road.

He didn't think much of it, turned his head and left.

Yang Xiaole walked for a while, then flashed into the darkness and did not move.

There are very few street lights, and people can only be seen after being isolated from a long distance, and only the shadows of people can be faintly seen.

After looking at both ends, he waited for a few minutes, and saw that Luo Jinping had walked away, and Yang Guangzhi did not follow, so he was relieved.

"Damn, the mosquitoes bit me to death."

Driving away the mosquitoes on his body, he looked at the vegetable farmers who came over, and followed the opposite direction with a smile.

I don't know the road, but Luo Jinping just said that these people are going to the Xidan vegetable market.

Walking on the road, he was also looking at the place curiously.

The pavement is still a blue brick road, and the shops on both sides of the street are quite abundant, and there are all kinds of shops.

There are two-storey old wooden restaurants, hutongs with courtyards, and some newly built cement brick houses.

A small number of tall office buildings.

Occasionally, some family buildings are also seen.

"Uncle, you guys got up so early!"

Looking at the flat stretcher next to him, he greeted a man of about fifty with a smile.

The other person just stopped to change his shoulder.

The man picked up the towel around his neck and wiped his sweat, then picked up the list and followed.

At this time, he smiled and said: "Yes, there is no way, I have to hurry up and deliver the food, and I can't delay the time for people in the city to buy vegetables!" ”

Yang Xiaole bowed his head lightly and looked at the dishes in the basket.

A basket of eggplants and a basket of green peppers are all stuffed to the brim, and several floors have been added.

The two chatted as they walked.

Yang Xiaole also inquired about the specific place of the pigeon market.

It is in the second alley to the east of the entrance of Xidan Caishi.

But from time to time, there will be people who get up in the early morning to sweep, of course, not every day is in charge, after all, people still have to sleep.

Whoever is caught one day can only be unlucky.

And there are cases where one eye is turned and one eye is closed.

Otherwise, if you really want to put an end to it, you will definitely not be able to achieve scale.

The distance doesn't sound very far, only six or seven miles, a little more than 3 kilometers, and it takes a full fifty minutes to get to the place.

It was still him hurrying to keep up with the old men.

But it wears him out.

At this time, it was already more than four o'clock, and there was still more than an hour before dawn.

A huge door of the vegetable market, a large iron gate, has been opened at this time.

There are already sporadic aunts carrying bamboo baskets and entering the door to buy things, while the food delivery people go around from the side and do not go to the main entrance.

Yang Xiaole didn't care, but walked towards the south according to the old man's words.

When I came to the second alley, which was more than a hundred meters away, there was someone standing at the door, about fourteen or fifteen years old.

His eyes were rolling.

I saw him coming, but I just glanced at it and didn't care anymore.

Yang Xiaole stretched out his head to take a look, and in the dim alley, there were many people communicating in low voices.

Basically, there is a cover on the face, and it is difficult to see the appearance.

"Look at what! Go if you go in, walk away if you don't go in, don't wait for this to be eye-catching. After a while, everyone was summoned. ”

The young man saw that he couldn't just look at it, so he shouted dissatisfiedly.

Yang Xiaole glanced at the other party.

After thinking about it, I walked in.

The alley is quite long, about 300 meters long, and there are many small alleys in between.

Quite a few people linger here.

But his eyes were full of vigilance, and he looked in the direction of the alley from time to time, and ran immediately as soon as there was a change.

After Yang Xiaole walked in, he took a curious look.

There are those who sell eggs, chickens, ducks, and fish, peanuts and melon seeds grown in their own fields, and those who sell grain.

There are also people who don't have anything in their hands and come around asking people when they see them.

Yang Xiaole didn't speak, and quietly watched these people trading.

Ten minutes later, he also figured out the general situation here.

Chickens, fish, ducks, these things do not need tickets, you can buy them in the vegetable market, but the amount of them on the market every day is limited, and whoever gets up can grab them early.

If it's late, it's gone.

However, a certain amount of supply will be provided to the city during the New Year, so there is no need to grab it.

He had already learned about this situation through Luo Jinping.

The price of these things is much lower than the market price.

The price of carp above one catty is 2 mao 8 a catty, and crucian carp above half a catty is 1 mao 4 a catty.

The market price is more expensive than this.

Hearing this price, Yang Xiaole wanted to scold his mother.

The purchase of rural supply and marketing cooperatives is too low!

The price of eggs, which are in demand in quantities and in small quantities, is much more expensive than the market.

6 cents a piece.

According to the price of 6 cents and 6 pounds that Luo Jinping said before, this price is at least two or three percent higher.

But it's acceptable.

Because these eggs should have been picked, although they are only two-thirds the size of later generations, they are already relatively large in this era.

"You're too small, do you have five or six pounds like that?"

In the midst of her thoughts, a woman in her thirties asked the fish seller.

Yang Xiaole heard the voice, looked over, and saw the other party looking at the three two or three catties of carp in the fish seller's hand and asked.

All three fish are dead.

The fish seller is an aunt!

Hearing this, the aunt wiped her sweat and smiled: "Isn't it five or six catties to buy all three?" If you want it all, I'll make you cheaper. If you buy such a big fish, it is a first-class fish, and it costs 4 cents and 6 pounds! How cheap it is to buy this. ”

The woman hesitated there.

In the middle of his thoughts, a middle-aged fat man appeared in the alley, followed by two young people.

All three of them covered their faces tightly with something.

The young man followed behind with a barricade and a sack.

When I came to sell eggs, I asked the price, and finally I received all five cents.

Leaving a young man here to pick up something, the fat man led another person and walked inside.

I came to the fish seller and took a look at the fish.

I looked at the fish and asked about the price again.

Said magnificently: "Give me all three!" But you've been dead for a long time, and I'll have to pay for 2 cents. ”

Hearing this, the aunt agreed happily.

How could this fish come into the city alive?

If you can't sell it, it will stink after a long time, so you can only go back to pickle salted fish.

Seeing this, the fat man took the fish and picked up the scale brought by the little apprentice, skillfully pulled it twice and said: "7 catties and 1 tael, it's 7 catties, a total of 1 yuan and 4 cents, right?" ”

Aunt didn't care.

The straw rope still has weight!

happily agreed, took the money and left the alley.

The fat man glanced at Yang Xiaole next to him, handed the fish to the little apprentice behind him, and walked inside without paying attention.

Along the way, as if I didn't want money, I swept there.

Yang Xiaole took a look, this guy is not the procurement of a certain hotel or factory, or the logistics of a special unit.

I watched it for a while.

He struggled for a while, and finally made a decision to go out of the other small alleys.

Fortunately, there is no one to guard here.

Out of the alley, I looked around.

groped to the back of a restaurant and crept into the space.

When I came to the slope, I dragged a few grass vines, got two large carps of about five catties from the puddle, and tied my mouth with a rope.

I took off my clothes and covered my face, and then I went out of the space.

However, he still brought out a big yellow eel of about 2 catties, stuck his mouth with a branch, and carried it.

Try it first, and then you can rob it!

Then he struggled to carry two big fish and walked towards the alley.

When they came here, everyone just looked at it in surprise and didn't pay attention to it anymore.

There are all kinds of people who come here, and children have never had them.

Yang Xiaole didn't rush to find the fat man.

Instead, wait there.

In any case, the sale of the pole is not worth much.

The woman, who had not bought a fish before, was overjoyed to see him carrying the fish.

glanced at Yang Xiaole.

Regardless of his age, he asked, "How much does this fish cost?" ”

"Two dollars a piece."

He is also estimated at about five catties, and it is about 4 cents per catty, which is cheaper than the vegetable market, but it is not cheap.

The woman hesitated, "Can I try it?" ”

"Yes!"

Yang Xiaole handed her a fish.

The woman took it and weighed it, and saw that it was alive, and she had already made a decision in her heart.

But she still asked, "I'll ask for 1 piece 5." ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole smiled and stretched out his hand: "Forget it, you give it back to me, you can go somewhere else to see." ”

Seeing that he was not even willing to grind, the woman thought for a moment.

In the end, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, opened it, took out two dollars and handed it to him.

"Look at it!"

Yang Xiaole took two pieces of one dollar and looked at them through the faint light.

Then he nodded: "Well, no problem." ”

When the woman saw this, she took the fish and left.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Yang Xiaole smiled.

I may be the reason for being late, there are a lot of people here, but there are not many things.

I should have sold something and ran away.

Didn't care anymore, but squatted there.

Many people in the middle came to ask the price, but when they heard that it was close to 4 cents a catty, they left one after another.

"Shout, so big? Or alive? ”

At this time, the fat man swept around the inside, and came back, and was surprised to see the fish in his hand.

After looking at it, he was surprised again: "Oh, there are also big yellow eels!" ”

Then he looked at him and smiled: "Little friend, you just went back to get fish, right?" What about waiting for me? ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was shocked.

Boy.

Such a dim light, the other party just glanced at him and remembered it.

And I'm still shirtless at this time!

Maybe it's a matter of height!

didn't speak, looked at him with a smile and smiled: "Uncle, my father just asked me to bring the fish over to see if I can change something!" I don't know you! ”

When the fat man heard this, he looked around.

didn't see anything, then turned his head and smiled: "Boy, put this aside and play with me!" You're still a little tender. ”

Then he said: "Okay, make a price, I want it." I'll be back in a while! ”

Yang Xiaole thought for a while and quoted a price: "2 carp pieces, look at the yellow eel, look at it!" After all, I have never sold such a big one. ”

He also played a trick and said that he had never sold such a big one.

Not to say it hasn't been sold.

The fat man didn't speak, and directly stretched out his hand.

Yang Xiaole directly handed over the two things, and he knew that the other party was going to weigh them.

The fat man took it and weighed it with his hand, gave the fish to the young man behind him, and then weighed the big yellow eel in his hand.

Then I fell into thought.

This thing is really not easy to give a price, and it is generally 5 cents a pound for more than half a catty.

But it's rare to see this big!

After hesitating for a while, he still asked, "This two yuan, a total of 4 yuan, what do you think?" ”

"Okay! That's the price. ”

Yang Xiaole stretched out his hand after speaking.

The fat man smiled and handed the thing to the person behind him, took out four dollars and handed it to him.

"Okay, I'm leaving, you, what should I do, if I find you staring at me, don't blame me for turning my face!"

After speaking, he also said viciously.

Yang Xiaole didn't care, and took the money with a smile.

Seeing this, the other party greeted the two little apprentices and left the alley with a full load.

Yang Xiaole looked at the back of the other party leaving, and felt that it would be good if he could get in a relationship, and it would not be so troublesome to make a move in the future.

Shaking his head, he left these whimsical things behind him.

This kind of person is generally more dangerous, so it's better to be careful, and if you meet it on the side of the road in a bright and bright way, you can talk about it.

Then he took the money and went straight to the person who sold the ticket.

I've been staring at him for a long time.

It's a ticket seller.

The other party is also covered and can't see his appearance, but the voice through it shouldn't be too big, at most about thirty.

The man had just noticed the deal between the two men.

When he saw him coming, he asked with a smile, "What kind of ticket do you want?" ”

"Do you have a meat ticket? What about food stamps? What's the price? What about sugar stamps? What about tofu tickets? ”

I talked about several votes in a row.

When the man heard this, he said with a smile: "The meat stamp is only two catties, 8 cents and 2 pounds, and the food stamps are 1 mao and 2, not much but a dozen catties." Sugar ticket 9 cents. There is no tofu ticket. ”

(As explained here, food stamps are only divided into fine food stamps and coarse food stamps when there is a real shortage of materials in difficult times.)

There are many kinds of fine grain stamps, including face stamps, rice stamps, and millet stamps...... Collectively referred to as fine food stamps.

Coarse grain stamps are mainly corn flour, sorghum flour, sweet potatoes and the like

Except for the usual food stamps in those years, which were food stamps, universal.

If you are interested, you can check the label on the ticket and you will find that all rice tickets are the version of those years, before and after the disaster, until the change is not distinguished. ）

Yang Xiaole frowned when he heard this price, the price was still quite high

Now I add the rest from before, a total of 6 yuan, 4 cents and 5 cents.

After thinking about it for a while, I feel that the sugar is counted first, and if there is a sorghum cake that does not require a ticket, you can fill it in first, and then talk about it later.

After counting the money in his hand, he said: "Give me all the food stamps, and give me 2 catties of meat stamps, by the way, do you have oil stamps?" Are there any pot tickets? ”

He can still think of a way to money, but this ticket is rare.

Hearing his words, the man fumbled with the bag on his chest and found a few tickets.

"There is no pot ticket, there are two catties of oil tickets, 6 cents and 4 catties, do you want it?"

"Yes!"

"The food stamp is 11 catties, 1 yuan is 3 cents and 2 cents, the meat stamp is 2 catties, 1 piece is 6 cents and 4 cents, and the oil stamp is 2 pounds and 1 yuan 2 cents and 8 cents, a total of 4 yuan and 2 cents and 4 cents."

Yang Xiaole secretly scolded that it was really expensive.

But he still took out the money and handed it to him.

The man took the money, clicked it, and gave him 8 cents along with the ticket.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole took his things and ran away.

I know the general situation, and if I have the opportunity to come back in the future, I will get something to fill in first.

If you don't have it, you can only wait until later.

After walking out of the alley, he took off his clothes and put them on, and walked towards the vegetable market.

The eggs have just been swept away, and even the chickens have not been sold.

Otherwise, you can buy some.

After finishing it, he went to the vegetable market to see if there was anything for sale.

By this time it was close to five o'clock.
