Following.

Before dawn, Ma Hongwei got up early.

He didn't wash either, got dressed quietly in the dark, and tiptoed out of bed.

After leaving the hut, he pushed his bicycle out the door.

Why did Ma Hongwei go out so early?

Naturally, I plan to go to the ghost market and exchange the beauty in my hand for soft sister coins.

After all, the domestic currency is only RMB, and the dollar is not used in the hand.

Although the regular place can also be changed, but the price is too low, so he doesn't want to suffer that loss.

The earliest origin of the ghost market is unknown, and it has existed as early as the Ming Dynasty.

Even in the past, when buying and selling was prohibited, this ghost market has always existed.

The official naturally knows about the existence of the ghost market, but as long as it is a small fight, no one cares.

After all, to exist is to be reasonable.

If you really don't have to give you any way to live, you can't guarantee that someone will take risks.

After the change, the control will be more lax, and the ghost market will continue to expand.

From the past reselling grain stamps, meat stamps, all kinds of stamps, and grain, meat and other scarce materials, there are many more antiques and antiques.

Of course, in some era film and television works, the ghost market will be called the pigeon market.

When he came to the vicinity of the ghost market, Ma Hongwei put on a cotton mask and covered his face.

There's no way, what he's going to sell this time is a rare thing like dollar bills, and no one will be interested in him, so he naturally wants to hide himself.

When he came to the scope of the ghost market, Ma Hongwei saw a few stalls on the ground.

In front of the stall, there are people swaying there.

Ma Hongwei made an observation, and saw several scalping guys, and immediately he walked towards one of them.

Seeing that a guest was coming, the man said directly to Ma Hongwei: "Brother, follow me!" ”

The two walked to the side of the remote place, and the man asked, "Brother, are you going to buy goods or ship them?" ”

"Shipment."

Ma Hongwei said directly.

Then the man asked, "What kind of goods?" ”

Ma Hongwei took out a $10 bill and handed it to the other party.

"Is this foreign money?"

The man took it, and the pupils of his eyes shrank.

Since the reform and opening up, the whole country has begun to pay attention to earning foreign exchange, so that foreign exchange has suddenly become a hard currency.

And these foreign currencies, especially the US dollar, are the most needed for some people who want to go abroad.

"It's dollars."

Ma Hongwei took the money from the other party's hand, and then said, "I have a total of $40 here." ”

"Brother, I want these goods."

The man smiled and stretched out his hand and said to Ma Hongwei, "Come, let's bargain!" ”

The ghost market is all bargaining in the sleeve, and Ma Hongwei has come to the ghost market to buy and sell things in the past and in his previous life, so he still understands this.

Ma Hongwei smiled and also stretched out his hand, and the hands of the two were directly wrapped by the sleeves.

He touched it first and found that the other party was "one" and then "four".

"You only give 140 yuan?"

Immediately, Ma Hongwei shook his head, and then stretched out three fingers in his sleeve, meaning 300 yuan.

Ma Hongwei didn't really think that the money could be exchanged for 300 yuan.

The so-called "sky-high asking price, pay back on the spot." ”

The price offered by the other party to him was so low, he naturally wanted to pay higher.

The man said, "I said, brother, you are not honest in this price! ”

"Each other, each other."

Ma Hongwei didn't feel embarrassed.

In this way, the two negotiated the price several times, and the other party finally set it at 190 yuan.

Seeing this, Ma Hongwei had no choice but to say: "Brother, add a little more, I'll look for you next time!" ”

"Okay, then I'll make it up for you."

The other party thought for a moment and replied.

The meaning of making up a whole is naturally to make up enough for 200 yuan.

Ma Hongwei knows that the other party's income is definitely not small, but no matter how much he wants, people will definitely not want it.

As for finding someone else?

Most of these people who specialize in scalping know each other and have private agreements with each other.

The $40 alone is still not worth the other party tearing up the agreement.

However, since this is a black market price, an extra dollar is earned for Ma Hongwei.

After all, the ratio of adjustment price is only 1:3.08.

Now, the black market ratio has reached the level of 1:5.

"Deal."

Ma Hongwei nodded and handed over $40 to the other party, who gave him 20 pieces of unity.

Both parties carefully counted and the transaction was completed.

Ma Hongwei said again: "Brother, give me some fritter tickets, food stamps and meat stamps." ”

The man slowly spat out three words: "Shame, press, search." ”

In the past, only large amounts needed to be negotiated in the sleeve, like a few dimes and cents were used in "black words".

The vernacular is the syllables that are close to each other.

臊 corresponds to four, press for two, search for corresponding three,

The other party means that the fritter ticket is four cents, the food ticket is two cents, and the meat ticket is three cents, and the amount is calculated according to one catty.

Ma Hongwei naturally knew that the other party's price was inflated, but he had just made so much money, and it was not bad for this money.

didn't continue to bargain, and said directly: "5 catties of fritters, 25 catties of food stamps, and 10 catties of meat stamps." ”

As he spoke, he directly took out a large unity sheet and handed it to the other party.

"Exactly."

The man has been doing this all year round, and he is equally good at mental arithmetic.

He took ten pieces, took out a stack of tickets from his bosom, and began to count them.

When he had counted enough votes, the man said, "Count!" ”

Ma Hongwei took the ticket and counted it.

This black market transaction is "sorted out in person, and you are not responsible after leaving", so it is natural to be good.

"That's right."

Seeing that the number was fine, Ma Hongwei took it into his arms, turned around and left.

Riding a bicycle from the ghost city, Ma Hongwei did not leave to go home.

He first walked around the Forbidden City before going around and around home.

The reason for this is naturally because he is afraid that someone will follow him and learn where his home is.

When he was about to arrive at the door, Ma Hongwei stopped at a breakfast stall.

He shouted to the waiter: "Comrade, bring me five fritters and ten pretzels!" ”

This voice really attracted the attention of many people.

You know, ordinary people just buy a few cheapest white flour steamed buns, even if they buy them for the family, they won't buy so much, and occasionally buy two baked cakes or fritters to satisfy their cravings.

This guy actually bought so much at once.

"It's a total of 9 cents, plus 5 taels of fritter tickets and two catties of food stamps."

The waiter replied.

A fritter costs four cents, plus a fritter or two tickets; Seven cents for a baked cake, plus two taels of food stamps.

The price is not very cheap, after all, a pound of rice is only one dime and three cents to one cent and seven cents, and a pound of standard flour is only one and a half cents.

(This price requires food stamps, and in addition, this is talking about ordinary rice, and good rice is more than two cents and three cents per catty.) ）

After handing over the money ticket, Ma Hongwei took a big oiled paper bag.

At that time, there were no plastic bags, and food was wrapped in oil, paper, and hemp rope, like pork, which was threaded with straw rope and then carried.

Riding all the way, the rich fragrance is full of heads.
