Chapter 011: Black Market
Jiang Shiyue: "......"
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she patted the burden she was carrying, "I just want to sell my old clothes." ”
The driver obviously didn't believe it, he had been in charge of driving this car for almost two years, and every month Jiang Shiyue would come out, and every time he would buy new clothes. This time you want to sell clothes? He didn't believe it!
Jiang Shiyue was unable to defend herself, so she took off the burden from her shoulders and untied it for the driver to see.
The driver saw that it was really her clothes, so he believed it, but still shook his head, "Sister-in-law, it's also illegal to go to the black market." ”
If you are caught, it will affect Chen Ying.
The latter sentence was afraid of angering Jiang Shiyue, but he didn't dare to say it.
Jiang Shiyue had no choice but to lie, saying that she sold her clothes to exchange money for Yangyang's medical treatment, which was also a last resort.
The driver was surprised and a little moved, and hesitated before pointing out the way to Jiang Shiyue, "Sister-in-law, I also heard someone say it when I went to the toilet." I haven't been there and don't know if the address is right. ”
Jiang Shiyue just wanted to leave after thanking him, but was stopped by the driver, he pointed to the big burden that Jiang Shiyue was carrying, "Sister-in-law, I heard that black market transactions are negotiated and then come out to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." You can put your clothes in the car and I'll watch them for you, and then I'll pick them up when you're done. ”
Jiang Shiyue thought it was a good idea, and thanked the driver again, but she didn't leave all her clothes behind. It wasn't too hot at this time, so she wore a skirt and a set of singles and pants on her body, and then led Yangyang away.
asked for the address, Jiang Shiyue was not in a hurry to go to the black market, she wanted to find out the price of the year first.
Yang Yang is obviously very resistant to crowded places.
Jiang Shiyue tried to divert his attention, "Yangyang, is our game good, from now until we go home, how many gay men and lesbians we meet, and see who can count accurately?!"
Young and old. You've got your numbers right, and I'll reward you! ”
Yang Yang hesitated slightly, but still raised his head to observe left and right, but his whole body was tense and obviously repulsive.
Jiang Shiyue bent down at the same time and looked at Yang Yang at eye level, "Yang Yang, believe me, this world is actually very beautiful, and dealing with people is not so scary. I'll accompany you, let's try it together, okay? ”
Yang Yang was still silent, but he held Jiang Shiyue's hand a little harder, and his tense shoulders relaxed a little.
Jiang Shiyue touched Yangyang's head as a reward, looked left and right, and decided to go to the shop on the right first.
On the right are smaller state-run stores, such as cloth shops.
Cotton cloth costs only four cents a foot.
The best fabrics in the store are only a dollar a foot.
Make a set of ordinary clothes, split blouses and pants, about five or six feet of fabric for lesbians, and about seven or eight feet for gay men.
The pork in the pork shop is divided into three grades, the third-class meat is six cents and eight cents, the second-class meat is seven cents and eight cents, and the first-class meat is nine cents and eight cents.
In the supply and marketing cooperative, the salt is one cent and five pounds, and the matches are two cents and a box. 100 catties of rice and 15 yuan, soy sauce vinegar and other seasonings are 8 cents a catty.
Jiang Shiyue smacked her tongue, in her previous life, not to mention a penny, it was a dime, and no one picked it up when it fell to the ground.
The nursery rhyme of picking up a penny and handing it over to the police uncle was changed to picking up a dollar.
Buying vegetables is ten yuan and a few catties, and pork is as high as twenty or thirty yuan a catty.
Stroll from right to left. On the left is a department store and a supply and marketing mall.
As for the friendship store, it's not something you can enter if you want to, you also need qualifications to just see if you don't buy it, and you need a ticket to enter the door.
Department stores are also very different from those of a few decades later. Without decoration style and furnishing beauty, it is just ordinary white walls and simple shelves.
The current salesmen are all enviable industries in the iron rice bowl, and there is no service attitude at all.
Jiang Shiyue looked at the counters with novelty, many things she had only seen in period dramas.
A tin kettle with white flowers and a red background, an enamel spittoon, an alabaster with a beautiful face, and so on.
Department stores have cloth cabinet groups and wardrobe groups, and both cloth and clothes are more expensive than those in small stores.
The cheapest fabric here costs six cents. Clothes are also much more expensive than outside.
Jiang Shiyue saw some clothes of the same style in the wooden box, and estimated that the original owner bought clothes here.
A 12-inch black-and-white TV set costs 400 yuan, and you need a TV ticket. The bicycle also requires a ticket, which is about 150 to 170 yuan.
Seeing Jiang Shiyue, she sighed, not to mention the money, she didn't even have a ticket.
Jiang Shiyue, who once had a small nine-figure asset, is now burdened with a huge debt of 160 yuan, and there is a kind of pressure that he doesn't know how to pay off.
When passing by the restaurant, Jiang Shiyue couldn't help but look at it twice, since she was reborn for more than a day now, she has eaten that mouthful.
Yang Yang's stomach beside him was also growling, and he knocked over the rice again this morning.
Jiang Shiyue hesitated, and led Yangyang to the black market, "Wait for me to get some money, let's go to dinner." ”
**
There was nothing wrong with the driver pointing the way.
The black market has a vague sense of being hidden in the market.
From the outside, it looks like an ordinary house, a self-built two-story building with a large courtyard.
There is no one at the door, but there are "beggars" in the vicinity who keep an eye on it, and will warn if they find a green truck that does not honk.
Jiang Shiyue is a fresh face, and she was repeatedly interrogated by the gatekeeper, but she answered vigilantly without leaking, and finally paid a two-cent ticket before entering.
The two cents were still given to her by Chen Shanhe and asked her to pay the five cents of the college entrance examination registration fee.
There were many people in the courtyard, all of them like underground workers, whispering together, their faces full of vigilance, their eyes looking around, and they looked like they were ready to run away at any time.
Jiang Shiyue led Yang Yang to stand at the gate of the courtyard and observe secretly. To be precise, Jiang Shiyue is observing, and Yang Yang is counting people.
A middle-aged man who looked very shrewd approached Jiang Shiyue, Yang Yang instantly tensed, and the hand held by Jiang Shiyue began to tremble.
Jiang Shiyue protected Yang Yang behind her, took a step back, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my child is timid, don't get too close." If you have something to say, you can say it directly. ”
The middle-aged man looked sneakily left and right, and opened his clothes openly.
Got an exhibitionist?
Jiang Shiyue gasped and closed her eyes, hesitating whether to run first or shout for help first.
"What are you doing with your eyes closed?" The middle-aged man was a little anxious, "Take a look, do you want to give me a happy word." ”
Jiang Shiyue opened a slit with one eye and saw the inside of the middle-aged man's open coat, with a pile of colorful tickets in a dense small clip.
What food stamps, oil stamps, cloth stamps, meat stamps, etc., are hung on the inside of clothes in different categories.
No wonder she was wearing a long coat on a hot day, which made her think she had met a pervert. I didn't expect it to be a ticket seller.
"How do you sell these tickets?" Jiang Shiyue asked.
The middle-aged man put on his clothes again, looked left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Which one do you want?" ”
