After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Mo went to the post office to buy a few newspapers, spending a total of 3 cents.

At this time, most newspapers cost 4 cents a copy, and "People's Daily" was a little more expensive, costing 5 cents.

Lu Changzheng saw Su Mo buying so many newspapers, so he asked, "Did you buy it to paste the wall?" ”

Isn't it common to go to the scrapyard to buy old newspapers? Could it be that his daughter-in-law loves cleanliness and wants to buy a new one?

But in fact, you don't need it, the house is painted with white walls, it's clean, and you don't need to paste it.

"It's not. I'm going to submit articles to the newspaper, and I want to study the style of writing before I buy a newspaper. ”

Su Mo thought about it, but still didn't tell Lu Changzheng that the original owner had a "supernumerary correspondent" certificate and could have a manuscript fee.

Although she has confidence in herself, what if what she writes is not adopted? It's better to wait until you can really get the manuscript fee, and then tell him.

"My daughter-in-law is amazing." Lu Changzheng immediately praised it.

"I haven't even written yet, so you know I'm good?" Su Mo glanced at him with disgust.

"Other people's daughters-in-law stumble over reading newspapers, but my daughter-in-law not only reads them, but also writes them. It's not powerful, what is powerful. ”

"You're poor."

"Daughter-in-law, where else are you going to go shopping?"

It's three o'clock, and if you don't go anywhere, go back. He wanted to take his daughter-in-law to their house to see and familiarize himself with the environment first.

"Why don't we go to the free market?" Su Mo was a little hesitant to speak, because Lu Changzheng was wearing a military uniform again.

Lu Changzheng: ......

Why does his daughter-in-law always want to go to the black market?

Although he does not reject the black market, he doesn't want his daughter-in-law to go, first, it is not safe, and if he is unlucky enough to be caught one day, it will be troublesome. Second, it's still not safe. His daughter-in-law looks like this, and it is easy to be targeted.

can look at his daughter-in-law like this, it is very likely that after he returns to the team, she will go secretly.

Rather than wait for her to figure it out on her own, he might as well take her there now and let her know the danger.

"Okay. But you have to promise me that you can't go when you're on your own, and if you want to go, you'll have to wait for me to come back. If you have anything you want, write to me or send me a telegram, and I will get it for you. Lu Changzheng's expression was serious.

"Okay." Su Mo's promise was insincere.

Lu Changzheng sighed, "Daughter-in-law, I mean seriously. The free market here is not more mature than the sea market, the management is very chaotic, and the degree of danger is far from being comparable to that of the sea market. ”

The bigger the city, the more the black market, the greater the competition, the more mature the management inside, and the less risky it is. Because there are so many choices, the black market in big cities is more credibility.

Unlike here, there is only one black market, which is basically a monopoly. The buyer has only one choice, and the seller is naturally arrogant.

Su Mo was silent.

"I'll take you there now, and you'll know when you see it." Lu Changzheng was helpless.

When he suddenly wanted to return to the team, he took his daughter-in-law over to join the army and watched it under his nose.

Lu Changzheng rode a bicycle with Su Mo, turning around, and came to the courtyard of a small bungalow.

Su Mo: ????

Is this the black market? It doesn't look like it.

The original owner's family of three did not work badly, and there were a lot of overseas Chinese remittance bills supplemented, and the tickets were very sufficient, so there was no need to go to the black market at all.

So Su Mo has no impression of the black market at all.

Lu Changzheng saw Su Mo's doubts and explained: "This is the home of my high school classmate and comrade-in-arms, and his parents passed away two years ago. When I came back this time, he asked me to come and see the house. ”

"During the two days you were in the health center, I came to clean up. I found his old clothes in it, so I came over to change my clothes and went again. ”

After saying that, he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and opened the gate of the yard.

Fortunately, he tied the key to his own key ring, otherwise it would have been really difficult this time.

The yard is not big, it is estimated that it is about ten or twenty square meters, and the bungalow is only three or four rooms.

Lu Changzheng opened the door of the bungalow, let Su Mo sit in the hall, and went to the room to change clothes. Because Lu Changzheng has only cleaned up, the house is quite clean.

Su Mo took a look at the surroundings and found that if this place could be used as a foothold, it seemed to be quite suitable.

This place is supposed to be behind a factory, and there are a lot of people watching people come in and out, but there are very few people in this area. She just observed that it seemed that there were only three or four families around, and they were all quite far away.

Lu Changzheng came out of the change of clothes, rode a bicycle and took Su Mo to another street, observed all the way, and then stopped in front of a small courtyard with the door open.

Su Mo looked over and found that an old man was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard.

"Uncle, let me ask, where did Uncle Wang's family move next to me?"

The uncle looked at the two of them and found that they were both fresh faces, so he asked, "Where are you his relatives?" What's the matter with him? ”

"We are from the Red Star Commune, and we are going to get married in a few days, so we will invite Uncle Wang to the banquet."

As soon as the old man heard it, he understood that he was going to get married and came to buy something, so he said the name of the street.

"If he wants to ask you who told you, you will say Uncle Chen."

"Okay, I see, thank you, uncle."

After Lu Changzheng finished speaking, he rode to the street with Su Mo again.

Su Mo looked confused, "What are you doing here?" "It's like a spy joint.

"The black market often changes locations, and I'm asking where the black market is now."

"How do you know he knows? Is it always fixed here in this family to ask? "Aren't you afraid of being caught?

"Of course not. The road-askers in the black market often change, and basically there will be one on a crowded street, usually with a strange sign at the door, or something black, that is. ”

"It's so obvious, aren't they afraid of being caught?"

"Evidence is also needed to be used to arrest people, and they basically know who the people in the county revolutionary committee are and what the dark lines are. These people asked, and they wouldn't say. ”

Su Mo is silent, and it is quite complicated, which is completely different from what is written in those novels.

In other novels, the heroine can find the black market casually, if she hadn't taken it with Lu Changzheng, it is estimated that she would not have been able to find it for a day.

Sure enough, it's cannon fodder, without an aura, it's so difficult to find a black market.

The two of them entered the street where the uncle said, and not long after, an aunt passed by and asked enthusiastically: "The two of you look a little angry, which one are you looking for?" Auntie, I'm old here, so I'll show you the way. ”

"Uncle Chen asked me to come, I'll look for Uncle Wang." Lu Long March.

"Oh, look for Lao Wang's family. Turn left and then right in front of you, and there's a crooked neck tree at the door. The eldest aunt said loudly.

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Lu Changzheng rode forward as his aunt said, and when he passed by a courtyard gate, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and a strong man walked out and said to the two: "Here." ”

Lu Changzheng stopped, and the two pushed the car into the courtyard gate.

Su Mo looked at the door, and he didn't crook his neck at all, it was really a routine everywhere.

After the strong man closed the door, he said, "Park the car here, pay a dime when you leave, cover your face, and follow me." ”

Su Mo took out a silk scarf from her satchel to cover her face, and Lu Changzheng used a handkerchief.

Su Mo sighed in her heart, this black market is so difficult to operate, and selling things on the black market still needs to be considered again.

The two followed the strong man into the house, there was a large wardrobe in one of the rooms, the strong man opened the door of the closet, there was a secret door inside, after entering through the secret door, and then passed through a room, and then arrived at the black market.

In a large courtyard in the black market, there are people guarding almost every direction. There were quite a few people inside, all of whom covered their faces, and their voices were very low. Therefore, even if there are a lot of people inside, it will not look noisy.

"You guys go shopping on your own, and come to me here after you buy it." After the strong man finished speaking, he entered the room behind him.

There are still a lot of people sitting in the room, all of them are strong men, and they should be waiting for guests.

It seems that the power of this black market boss is not small, and there are many younger brothers.

The two first walked around the yard, and Su Mo found that most of the food sold was food, most of them were selling grain, and there were only three selling meat, one selling pork, and two selling live chickens.

And the one who sells pork looks like it's still the black market's own stall.

"Would you like to buy some rice and go back?" Lu Changzheng remembered that his daughter-in-law loved to eat rice.

"No, I have food stamps." Su Mo shook her head, she still has a lot of rice in her space, and she can also produce food herself, so there is no need to buy it.

"Let's buy some meat and go back, we got the certificate today, please eat some meat." Su Mo said.

The main thing is that she is also hungry for fresh meat.

The two went to the stall selling pork, cut 4 catties of very good pork belly, and divided it into two parts, one was taken back to the Lu family, and the other was brought back to the Zhiqing point by Su Mo.

The pork in the black market does not need a ticket, a piece of 61 catties, which is directly double that of the supply and marketing cooperatives.

4 catties of meat cost a total of 6.4 yuan, and Lu Changzheng paid for it.

"I'd like to exchange some meat tickets and cloth tickets here." Su Mo whispered.

"I still have a 10-foot cloth ticket and an 8-pound meat ticket here, both for you, it's not enough to change it."

Su Mo calculated, plus the 16 feet of the marriage subsidy, the cloth ticket is 26 feet, and it is enough to make cotton clothes. I still have 3 catties of meat tickets, plus what Lu Changzheng gave, it is enough to eat for a while, not to mention that I still have a lot of ham, bacon and sausages and canned food in my space, so I am not in a hurry to change it.

If the manuscript can be selected, then the bill should not be a problem in the future.

"That should be enough, don't change it."

Lu Changzheng wanted to know about the market of black market bicycles and sewing machines, so he asked a loose question.

The man glanced at the two men, beckoned them over, and led them into a small room.

The house was supposed to be the place where the black market sells its own goods, and there were several large shelves with many things on it.

A man resembling a small boss came up to him and asked, "You want to buy bicycles and sewing machines?" ”

"Yes. Do you want to buy a permanent brand 26 bicycle and a Shanghai brand sewing machine? "The Type 26 bike is more suitable for lesbians.

"Yes, but I have to wait for two days, and the price of Shanghai cards is relatively expensive."

"How much?"

"258 bikes, 238 sewing machines." Small boss quotes.

Su Mo silently calculated in her heart, in the supply and marketing cooperative, the permanent brand 26 bicycle is sold for 158 with a ticket, and the Shanghai brand sewing machine is sold for 138 with a ticket. Don't have a ticket on the black market, and directly increase the price of each item by 100 yuan, which can be regarded as a huge profit.

"If you need it, pay a deposit of 100 yuan first."

"I'll go back and think about it first." Lu Long March.

He will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city tomorrow to have a look, if there is, he will buy it from the supply and marketing cooperatives, and if he doesn't, he can only come to the black market to buy high-priced ones.

"Okay." The little boss has no objections. There are really not many people who can afford expensive and large things.

The two looked around the house, and Su Mo found that there was a white rabbit toffee, so she bought a pack.

In the memory of the original owner, in the sea market, the price of this one-pound pack of white rabbit toffee is 1.7 yuan, and here in the black market is 2.5 yuan a pack.

There was nothing to buy, and seeing that the time was not too early, the two of them prepared to go back.

At this time, there are already a lot more people than just now.

Finding the strong man who had brought them in before, the two followed the strong man around to another yard, and their bicycles were also here.

Su Mo: ......

This black market is really different from what the book says. This black market boss is afraid that he is not a spy.

After Lu Changzheng gave 1 cent, the two rode their bicycles away from the courtyard.

When this yard came out, it was another street. It seems that this black market is really extending in all directions.
