Chapter 49
When Song Hongguo went out, it was only after six o'clock, and the genius was just dimly lit. Along the stone road in the middle of the village, she saw only a few people who came out to carry water along the way. She looked at it for a long time.

When she arrived at the commune, she went straight to the black market. That's right, she didn't need to ask to know where the black market was, because in her previous life, she heard the old director talk about the ancient times in the orphanage, and her tone was still very embarrassing. The black market elsewhere is like a mouse crossing the street. But here in Nandian Commune, there is almost tacit existence. The people above turn a blind eye, as long as there is no trouble.

There is no other reason, the aluminum factory is here, 10,000 employees, [-]+ family members of employees, such a huge consumer group, how can there be no black market?

Who doesn't lack for things these days?Blocking the way of others is also blocking your own way.

However, for safety's sake, Song Hongguo disguised herself before going. She changed the military overcoat into an old padded jacket, wrapped it in a scarf so that only one pair of eyes was exposed, and bought a black-framed plain mirror from the supermarket to wear. I entered an inconspicuous courtyard with a back door, and the street through the back door was the black market.

There are people guarding the yard, in case something is wrong, it is convenient to report.

Song Hongguo turned her head back, naturally with a strange face, the other party stared at her suspiciously, and asked very rudely, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Master, I want to buy some pieces of glass." Song Hongguo looked very calm, and deliberately changed into a local accent when speaking, "I don't have enough industrial rolls in my hand."

The other party frowned and asked, "Apart from glass, what else can I buy?"

"If there is cement and coal, I would also like to buy some."

Hearing this, the other party frowned even tighter, "No more?"

Those who come to the black market, who doesn't want to buy food, meat or cloth?The rarest things are radios, or buying tickets for watches or bicycles, sewing tickets, etc. It's not that there is no glass cement, but there are few of them throughout the year.

But seeing that Song Hongguo wasn't panicking at all, and he didn't have that disturbing aura around him, he thought for a while and waved his hand, "Go in, don't talk, don't inquire, and leave as soon as you finish shopping."

"Okay, thank you sir." Song Hongguo walked a few steps, then turned back, took out a pack of cigarettes from the canvas bag and handed it over.

The other party took two steps back in shock, "What is this for?"

Song Hongguo said sincerely, "Master, I turned my head back, and my eyes are darkened. Please give me some advice. It would be best if I could buy all the work from one person, and save me from asking around."

Hearing this, the other party took it hesitantly, "When you get out of the back door, go straight east. When you get to the end, you see a man in a blue padded jacket. Just look for him."

Nine out of ten people wear blue padded jackets these days, right?Song Hongguo asked helplessly, "Men and women? How old? How tall? Is it convenient to say the name?"

The other party glanced at her, "Man, he must be seventeen or eighteen years old. He is not tall. You can call him a skinny monkey."

"..."

A pack of cigarettes was worth so much news. Song Hongguo thanked her and asked, "What's your last name?"

"Why is it so expensive? The old man's surname is Hu."

"Okay, then Mr. Hu, you are busy, see you later."

After Song Hongguo left, Uncle Hu took out a cigarette, sniffed it, and muttered, "This girl looks young, but she can talk and do things well. Could it be that she is new to the factory?"

If Song Hongguo heard this, she would have to sigh with emotion that she is an old man. She walked out the back door without looking around, and went straight to the east. At this time, there were not many people on the black market. Everyone is used to coming in the dark. There are sellers on both sides of the street, carrying baskets or sacks, and they hide their things. If they don’t ask, they don’t know what the other party is selling. Like a cipher.

When she walked to the end, she saw a man in a blue padded jacket. To be precise, he was a half-grown boy. Uncle Hu said he was seventeen or eighteen. She looked at him at most fourteen or fifteen, with messy hair and hands in his sleeves. Sitting crookedly on a stone in the corner of the wall, he was staring at her.

Song Hongguo called tentatively, "Skinny Monkey?"

The thin monkey straightened up, "Who are you?"

Of course Song Hongguo would not declare his family name, "I came here after hearing what Uncle Hu said. I want to buy some things. I wonder if you have them here?"

Hearing Uncle Hu's name, Shouhou felt relieved when he mentioned it. People who have seen Uncle Hu's eyes will probably have no problem, "What do you want to buy?"

"Glass, cement, coal."

"..."

Good guy, they are all big items. If it were someone else, it would be hard to find, but there is brother Zeng standing behind him, he can get all kinds of rare things, "How much do you want?"

Hearing this, Song Hongguo's eyes lit up. Sure enough, there is no shortage of experts in the black market. You must know that these things can not only be bought with money and tickets, but also need a certificate from the unit. For example, coal, you have to ask for coal The notebook is only available to the workers, and there is a certain amount of supply every month. Even if there is a coal mine in the local area, it must be used for production in the factory first.

Song Hongguo had already measured the size of the doors and windows before, and he had a good idea of ​​how much glass would be needed. He also roughly estimated the cement and coal, and reported a figure to him.

The thin monkey was taken aback, "Why do you need so much glass?"

"There are many doors and windows in the house." Not only the three main rooms, she even counted the three rooms in the East Ping House, and the three rooms in the West Ping House, the middle of which was Uncle Cheng's carpentry room. There are some farm tools, and the other two small compartments, one for grain storage, and one for the kang, which can be regarded as a guest bedroom, and they are not used at present, it doesn’t matter whether they are installed with glass or not, just paste a layer of newspaper.

The thin monkey clicked his tongue, "It's not cheap to buy."

"How many?"

The thin monkey calculated for a long time before gesturing a number for her.

"Sixty? Don't want any tickets?"

The thin monkey nodded, "Don't think it's expensive, these things, if you change someone, no one can buy them for you." After finishing speaking, he added, "The main reason is that glass is expensive, and cement and coal are easy to deal with."

"Understood." Song Hongguo did not haggle over the price, but only made a request, "Can the delivery be delivered as soon as possible? I am anxiously waiting to use it."

"You want a lot of things, no matter how fast it is, it will take the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, do I need to pay a deposit?"

"Give me five dollars."

Song Hongguo had no objection. She counted five yuan from her bag and gave it to him. After thinking about it, she asked again, "Is rice and white flour easy to buy? What's the price?"

"That's a rare item." The thin monkey shook the money in his hand, "That's all, you can buy two catties at most, sweet potato noodles and stick noodles are cheap, only half the price."

Half the price is more than one yuan. If there is a ticket at the grain station, it only costs ten cents, which is ten times worse.

"Would you like it? I can get it for you right now."

Song Hongguo shook her head, made an appointment with him to come at this time the day after tomorrow, and left. She wanted to sell grain, but she was not familiar with the other party, and there were certain risks in doing business, so let's talk about it later.
