Chapter 47: Revisiting the Black Market

Coming out of the post office, Su Mo rode to the street where Lu Changzheng's comrades-in-arms were housed according to his memory.

When passing a corner of the blind spot, Su Mo glanced around to make sure that no one was nearby, then got off the bicycle, put the car into the space, and got into the abandoned and collapsed house on the side.

Su Mo changed into overalls inside, blackened her skin with dark foundation, drew her eyebrows thickly, put on a pair of old-fashioned black-framed glasses, and wore a men's wig.

Soon, Su Mo changed from a delicate little daughter-in-law to a somewhat thin and honest young male worker who looked sixteen or seventeen years old.

After observing and making sure that there was no one nearby, Su Mo came out of it, took out the bicycle from the space, and went out the same way.

When Lu Changzheng brought her to this place, she observed it. Not only is there no one around, it is also a blind spot, but there is also a dilapidated house as a cover, and the two ends are connected.

She changed her clothes inside, and as long as there was no one at this turn, no matter which direction she went out, everyone she saw would think that she was coming from another direction, and there would be no suspicion.

Su Mo rode to the street of the black market last time, she wanted to see if it was really so troublesome every time she went, or because they were new faces.

Or the aunt last time, passing by and asking Su Mo with a smile: "Young man, where are you going?" My aunt is familiar with this area, and I will help you show you the way. ”

Su Mo lowered his voice and said, "The brigade has divided some fruits and vegetables, and I will send them to Uncle Su." ”

"Oh, Uncle Su, walk along the left until you reach the end." The eldest aunt said with a smile.

Su Mo rode along the left side and soon reached the end. The people inside heard a sound at the door, poked their heads out to look, and saw that it was a bicycle carrying a basket, so they opened the door and let Su Mo in.

After Su Mo entered, he closed the door again and asked, "Buy or sell?" ”

"Sell."

"Two dimes." That's humane.

Su Mo touched two dimes and handed them over. It's really expensive, two dimes are enough to buy a pound of white noodles.

The man took the money and said, "Cover your face and follow me." ”

Su Mo took a towel and covered her face, then pushed the cart and walked away with the man.

This time, there is no need to detain the car, it seems that it is another way to open.

This time, it was very fast, and after passing through a door, I arrived at the courtyard last time.

So last time, they were too unique to give them the whole play?

Su Mo didn't know that it was because Lu Changzheng deliberately exposed his domineering attitude in order to dispel his daughter-in-law's idea of coming to the black market. When others look at it, they know what he does, so they naturally take precautions carefully.

"Find a spot for yourself, leave when you're sold out, and don't linger long."

Su Mo nodded, found a corner location, and parked the car. Then, under the cover of the bamboo basket, he put his hand in, put the large net pocket inside into the space, and replaced it with a basket of apples.

Su Mo put the bamboo basket on the ground, lifted the coarse cloth, and a basket of red and watery, fragrant apples was revealed.

A black marketeer who was passing by came over and asked, "How do you sell this apple?" ”

Su Mo came this time mainly to explore the situation, and he didn't want to stay for a long time, so he quoted a price that was very cheap on the black market.

"6 cents a pound."

The man immediately said, "Come on five catties." ”

This apple is in good condition, 6 cents is not expensive at all, and the supply and marketing cooperatives look at the general ticket for more than four cents. It just so happens that he loves apples, so he buys more at a time.

"Okay." Su Mo responded, and then sadly found that she didn't have a scale.

"Well, I don't have a scale." Su Mo was a little embarrassed.

"Some of the black market rent, two cents a rent." The man said.

Su Mo immediately took out 2 cents and asked the man to bring her a scale.

The man quickly brought the scale, and Su Mo also neatly weighed him 5 catties and earned 3 yuan. Because he was the first customer, Su Mo also gave him one more.

After a while, a few more men came over to buy apples, probably because they looked at the person just now and thought it was good.

Just the insiders of the black market consumed more than 20 catties for Su Mo, and the remaining 20 catties were sold out in less than an hour.

This basket of apples was sold for a total of 55 catties, with an income of 33 yuan, plus Sister Liu's 25 yuan, she earned 58 yuan from selling apples today, which is worth more than a month's salary for others.

After Su Mo evaluated, he felt that the flow of people in the black market was still good, but it was a bit troublesome to come, and it was okay to come once in a while, but if he came frequently, it would be easy to be targeted, and the black market boss still had a lot of control over the black market.

It seems that it is more prudent to develop Sister Liu, although the wholesale price is low, but it is convenient and safe.

After selling things, Su Mo collected the bamboo basket, walked around the black market for a while, bought 2 catties of pork, saw that there was lard for sale, bought another 4 catties, and was about to go back to boil meat oil, saw that there were eggs, and bought another 2 catties.

Black market pork costs 1.6 yuan a catty, and 2 catties cost 3.2 yuan.

The pork lard costs 2 yuan a catty, and 4 catties cost 8 yuan.

Lard is a high-quality meat, and it costs 1.2 yuan a pound in the supply and marketing cooperative, and it is sold for 2 yuan here on the black market, which is not expensive.

Eggs are sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives for 0.78 yuan a catty, Su Mo bought them at a private stall, and talked about the lower price, 1.1 yuan a catty, and 2 catties cost 2.2 yuan.

This trip cost 13.4 yuan, and more than one-third of the money earned from selling apples in the black market just now was immediately used.

Money, still unused.

After shopping, Su Mo left the black market, went to the place just now, took off her makeup, and changed her clothes back.

After coming out and taking out the bicycle, Su Mo took advantage of the shelter of the bamboo basket to change things in place.

Put the meat and eggs into the space first, keep the space fresh, and the meat will not be bad for a long time.

After taking out the big net pocket, Su Mo took three catties of cotton and put it away, and the cloth was cut again when she went back.

Then he took out a dozen apples, put them in a bamboo basket, covered them with a coarse cloth, and then rode his bicycle through another exit.

After returning to the brigade, Su Mo first went to Lu's house to find Li Yue.

"Mother, I bought some apples at the supply and marketing cooperative, and I will give you a few to taste." Su Mo took out 7 apples from the basket and carried them in a coarse cloth.

Li Yue'e looked at it and said in surprise: "Where did you buy the apple?" It's big, red, and watery. ”

It was the first time she had seen such a beautiful apple.

"As far as the county supply and marketing cooperatives are concerned, there are not many of them, so I only grabbed this."

"This apple, give two to the eldest brother and two brothers' families, and the remaining three, one for you and your father and grandfather."

"Okay." Li Yue'e didn't refuse, went to get a bamboo basket, and took the apple.

"Mother, do you know how many stitches are needed in the sweater worn by the Long March?" Su Mo asked again, lest it be too small to weave, and Lu Changzheng was uncomfortable in dressing.

"You're going to knit a sweater for the third child?"

"Well, I bought some yarn and I'm going to knit him a sweater." Su Mo nodded.

"I really don't know this, but the three brothers are all about the same size, the third brother is a little stronger, and you can compare with his eldest brother and second brother when the time comes." Li Yue'e was ashamed, she had never knitted a sweater for the third child.

Sure enough, it has to be her own woman to feel sorry for a man.

"Okay." Su Mo replied, and asked again: "Mother, do you know how to make padded jackets?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I want to learn to make a padded jacket, mother, if it's convenient for you, when will you teach me?"

"That's no problem, I'll plant the land today, and I'll teach you tomorrow. By the way, do you plant the land at your door? Mother, there are vegetable seeds here. ”

"Planted, I've already bought vegetable seeds today." Su Moying.

She must have planted a seed that would be improved by future generations.
