Chapter 012 - Sitting on the ground and starting the price

Jiang Shiyue thought for a while, "I want local food stamps, meat stamps, sugar stamps......

She lala, and there were several miscellaneous reports.

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone was heavy and affectionate to the big customer: "I have it all, how much do you want?" ”

"Two catties of meat stamps, ten catties of fine grain stamps, ten catties of white noodles, half a catty of sugar cubes, half a catty of brown sugar, two catties of eggs, and grain and oil stamps are also a little."

"Meat ticket eight cents a pound ......"

The middle-aged man was interrupted by Jiang Shiyue's frowning before he could speak: "Buying second-grade meat outside is only seven or eight cents and a pound, why is your ticket as expensive as meat?" Didn't you bully me for not knowing how to do it? ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, probably feeling that he was looking away, and his tone was a little lighter: "Comrade, if you want to say that, then you really don't know how to do it." First time on the black market, right? Let me tell you this, you don't have a ticket and want to buy meat here, at least twice as much as it is outside. The same is true for other grains, oils, rice and noodles. If you don't believe me, take a look around and then look for me. ”

Of course, Jiang Shiyue didn't believe it, so she took Yang Yang around the courtyard and asked, but the result was similar to what the middle-aged man said. It's just that middle-aged men should be second-class dealers, and it's still a little more expensive than buying directly from individuals.

A gray-haired woman saw that Jiang Shiyue had been asking about the price of meat, so she approached her and whispered, "Girl, do you want to buy meat?" ”

Jiang Shiyue nodded.

The old woman spoke: "I'll give you a little cheaper, two pounds a piece." Definitely good meat! If it weren't for my Gawa in a hurry to marry his daughter-in-law, we wouldn't have taken such a big risk to kill the pigs in the family. ”

Gava is the local name for a boy, meaning her son.

The pigs were raised by their own households, but according to the regulations, they were to be sold and sold in a place designated by the commune, and the recycling price was much lower than the market price.

It is illegal to come to the black market and sell for more money.

"Auntie, it's not that I don't want to buy it, it's that I don't have any cash in my hand. You keep me five pounds, and when I sell the clothes on my body, I will buy them from you. ”

The old woman looked at Jiang Shiyue, stretched out her wrinkled and rough hand and touched her clothes, and asked, "How much do you sell for this clothes?" ”

Jiang Shiyue is now wearing two layers of clothes, the inner layer is a dress, the outer upper body is a blazer, the bottom is a pair of beige trousers, and a pair of low-heeled square-mouth leather shoes are on her feet.

"Auntie, this dress costs ten yuan for a set of tickets in the department store. If you want it, I'll give you the ticket for 10 dollars. Just go through it once. ”

The old woman's hands seemed to be burned, and she put them back in her hand, and kept muttering: "So expensive! It's too expensive! Can't afford it. ”

Jiang Shiyue smiled bitterly, it's not that she sells expensive, but a set of clothes for ten yuan is indeed a luxury for ordinary people, but for many people in the city, it is only a medium-priced clothes.

The old woman was reluctant, shook her head, and turned around to leave in three steps.

When the old woman asked the price just now, a young woman who had been listening with her ears pricked up, saw that the old woman could not afford it, and came over and said, "I bought it for ten yuan!" ”

Jiang Shiyue shook her head, "Twelve." ”

"Why are you still sitting on the ground? I just heard you say ten dollars to the old lady. The young women protested dissatisfied.

"That's because it's cheap for my aunt to sell me pork, and we belong to the equivalent exchange." Jiang Shiyue explained confidently, "However, if you want to buy two sets, I can give you a nine-percent discount, or you can exchange with me for what I need." ”

Young woman: "......"

Jiang Shiyue said this when she saw that the young woman was a pure buyer. And this woman should be a regular customer of the department store, and she knows very well that she is not asking for a sky-high price.

"What's your other set like?" The woman asked.

"I have quite a few more sets, you can pick your own."

The young woman hesitated, suddenly squatted on the ground, picked up a small wooden stick and wrote on the ground: "Twelve pieces are discounted by 12 times 0.9, 2918, 19 gets 9, 9 ......."

Women obviously don't have a high level of education, and they won't be counted halfway.

No one saw it, the woman's yang lips moved as soon as she squatted, and her mouth shape seemed to be ten pieces and eight hairs.

Jiang Shiyue waited for a while and saw that the woman really couldn't figure it out, so she spoke: "Nine percent discount is ten yuan and eight cents." ”

The young woman thought for a moment and felt that this number was acceptable, and nodded: "Then let's go!" I'll go with you to pick out clothes. When the time comes, you can wipe me again. ”

Jiang Shiyue nodded and stretched out her hand to the woman: "Can you lend me ten yuan first?" I'll buy the meat first, and then I'll take you out to pick out the clothes. I can take off my coat and press it on you first. ”

The young woman had just heard Jiang Shiyue buying meat everywhere, so she hesitated, took out her purse, and took out a large unity sheet for Jiang Shiyue. Jiang Shiyue didn't say a word and took off her coat to the young woman.

The young woman examined it carefully, and looked satisfied.

Jiang Shiyue asked the old woman to buy five catties of pork, spent six yuan, and led the young woman back to the parking spot, let the driver help watch the meat, and then took down the burden for the young woman to pick.

Jiang Shiyue came to the black market for the first time, and she didn't understand the market, so she brought some clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter. I went around just now, only to find that the clothes I brought with me were new this year and old ones from previous years.

The woman picked out a beige orange blossom dress.

This skirt is new this year, and it is estimated that the original owner just bought it a while ago, and I haven't had time to wear it yet.

"Comrade, you have such a good eye! It's new this year, and I haven't even worn it when I bought it. You see the crease is still there. You should know that this dress sells for twelve dollars a piece in a department store and requires a ticket, I'll give you a cheaper, how about sixteen? ”

Jiang Shiyue is now selling now, and the price of no ticket has doubled.

The young woman shook her head, "I'll buy you two sets of clothes, and you can give them cheaper." ”

She has been in love with this dress for a long time, but there happens to be no rich cloth ticket at home.

Each person is only given a maximum of 16 feet of cloth every year, like this year there are only 15 feet of cloth per person.

This is the amount of cloth a person uses in a year.

In fact, all kinds of tickets are much more difficult to get than the real thing.

"Why don't you pick another style and I'll give you something cheaper?" Jiang Shiyue politely refused.

The young woman really liked this dress, and gritted her teeth: "These two pieces are twenty-five yuan, and I will give you ten catties of fine food stamps and a few catties of non-staple food stamps." ”

She originally came out today to buy fine grains, but after buying clothes, she didn't have the money to buy fine grains.

Jiang Shiyue pretended to think, and when she saw that the young woman was about to be anxious, she nodded in embarrassment, "That's okay!" ”

After the silver and goods were sold, Jiang Shiyue counted the money and said to the young woman with a smile: "Sister, I will come back at the same time next week, if you come again, I will give you an eighty-fifty discount!" ”

The young woman touched the two clothes in pain, "Forget it! I'm going to buy this set this summer. ”

These two sets of clothes accounted for more than half of her salary this month.

Jiang Shiyue then remembered that this was not the era of online shopping decades later.

After a few decades, if you want to buy clothes, you can buy clothes, and no one cares if you buy them every day.

Now people are not necessarily willing to buy a set of clothes all year round, so they hurriedly added, "Sister, you can introduce relatives, friends and colleagues to me to buy clothes, and I can give you a commission." The person you introduced comes to buy my clothes, and I'll give you a dollar for a set, and I'll give you five cents for a piece. ”
