Chapter 29: The Black Market
In the following chat, Li Yiyi knew that the life of the old Jiang family was really difficult.
Don't look at the old Jiang family's labor, they earn a lot of work, but God is not beautiful, there has been a drought every year in the past few years, and the grain harvest is not very good at all.
The next day, now that she didn't try to be lighter, Li Yiyi planned to use the excuse of going to the city to improve the living situation of this big family.
After all, she is now carrying such a monstrous space supermarket, if she doesn't use it, she will really be a big fool.
"I have something to go out, and you take care of the two children." Thinking of doing it, she immediately found Jiang Hong, who was training in the yard.
Jiang Hong looked at her worriedly and asked, "What's the matter, do you want me to go with you?" ”
Li Yiyi immediately spoke up, "No, you just take care of their sister and brother at home, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy something, women use it, you men don't understand." ”
Hearing these words used by the woman, Jiang Hong immediately thought of something, and a pair of earlobes immediately turned red, and squeaked, "That's okay, you come back early." ”
Li Yiyi nodded, went to find the sisters and brothers who were playing on the bed, and told him seriously, "You listen to your father at home, take a nap obediently, and my mother will go out for something and come back to bring you something delicious." ”
The siblings replied in unison, "Okay." ”
After getting rid of the two of them, Li Yiyi rode out of the house on a bicycle with an army green straddle bag on her back.
With the help of this bicycle, she easily got to the county seat.
The county seat is the county seat, and compared with the mountain villages, it is still very prosperous, and shops, department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, and state-run hotels can also be seen everywhere.
She entered the supply and marketing cooperatives here, and as soon as she walked in, there were not many kinds of things in it, and many of them were out of stock.
Li Yiyi walked to the counter and found the staff and inquired about the price of grain, oil, rice and noodles here.
As a result, after people glanced at her, they ignored and quoted a few prices.
Looking at the arrogant attitude of the other party, Li Yiyi was not angry, she knew that the identity of the staff working here in this era was enviable, making people feel superior.
After getting the price she wanted, she pursed her lips and smiled at the other party, then turned and left.
The staff of the supply and marketing cooperatives saw that she asked the price but didn't buy anything, and scolded her back with disdain, "Hillbilly, don't ask if you can't afford it, it's a lot of things." ”
Li Yiyi, who had already left the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, naturally didn't hear these words.
Walking out of the supply and marketing cooperative, she did not leave immediately, but stood near the door.
Soon, she heard a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law coming out of it.
"Hey, this grain has risen too high recently, it has risen day by day, and there is often a shortage of food, how can I live this day." The old woman preached in despair.
The young woman's face was a little pale, and she looked like she was about to cry and said to the old woman who was supporting her, "Mom, what should I do, the pillar of the family is still waiting to eat, he is still so young, he can't be hungry." ”
Li Yiyi stood aside and listened to all their words, and after they walked past her, she immediately pretended to leave and followed behind them.
After walking to a place where there were few people, she immediately quickened her pace to catch up with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and said to them in a low voice, "Auntie, sister-in-law, I just heard from you that you want to buy food, right?" ”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were startled by the figure she rushed up at the same time.
Li Yiyi saw their frightened faces, and hurriedly explained to them, "Don't get me wrong, I am from a nearby village, and I have surplus food at home. ”
After listening to her explanation, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief.
The young woman immediately looked at her excitedly and asked, "Big sister, listen to what you just asked, do you have any grain to sell, how much is it?" ”
Li Yiyi slowly stretched out a hand, "Ten catties of white rice, ten catties of refined flour, do you want them?" ”
"Yes, yes." The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law shouted together.
The old woman thought of something at this time, and pulled down the arm of the daughter-in-law beside her, "Big sister, can I ask the price?" ”
Li Yiyi smiled and quoted a price close to that of the supply and marketing cooperative.
"It's so expensive." When the old woman heard the price, she immediately frowned.
Li Yiyi was not in a hurry, and explained to her seriously, "Auntie, I am not expensive, the supply and marketing cooperatives are also about the same price as I said, people ask for tickets, I don't need tickets, it's a dime more, it's a lot cheaper." ”
The young woman was worried that she would regret it, and she didn't care about her mother-in-law around her, so she hurriedly told Li Yiyi, "Yes, we want them all." ”
Seeing this, Li Yiyi smiled, "Okay, you wait for me here, I'll go get the things and come back immediately." ”
After she walked a little farther, she found a hidden corner where no one passed, and when there was no one around, she immediately dodged into the space supermarket.
With the inspection in the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Yiyi went into the supermarket and took the rice and noodles that the customer wanted, and took ten catties of each.
When I went to the checkout, when I passed by the daily necessities area, I saw that the towels there were on sale, ten yuan and ten, and finally took ten.
When she came out of the space supermarket, she immediately took these things and returned to the place where she traded with her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law before.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still there.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, this is what you wanted, you see." She placed two bags of rice and noodles in front of them.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's eyes immediately lit up, and the two opened the bag one after the other, and when they saw the large white rice and refined flour inside, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took a breath at the same time.
This rice is crystal clear, the particles are full, there is a smell of rice, and this flour is very smooth in the hand, not easy to form a ball, and it is a high-quality white flour at a glance.
"How is it, am I okay with rice and noodles?" Li Yiyi asked confidently.
The old woman coughed lightly, "It's average, it's still too expensive, it would be better if it was cheap." ”
When the young woman next to her heard this, she glanced at her mother-in-law beside her in disbelief.
Li Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled, seeing through the old lady's trick at a glance, "Since the two of you are not satisfied with my goods, then forget it, I'll sell it to others." So saying, he went to get the two bags they had in their hands.
When the old woman heard this, she immediately became anxious, quickly grabbed the bag in her hand tightly, and said a little unhappily, "You lesbian, why don't you say it like this, can't I say it, don't take it, we just want it." ”
Li Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled, what was the idea of this old lady before, she naturally knew it in her heart, but she didn't eat the old lady's set.
"Okay, just according to the price we said before, besides, if you buy more, I'll give you an extra towel." She said.
