There is a marriage in sixty

Chapter 12 Small Assets
Momo originally agreed with her family to stay with her eldest brother for six days, but Momo only stayed for five days.

She wanted to leave early because of a temporary change. This was inspired by Daji. Now that the black market is not at its most stringent, she wanted to get rid of all the fruits in the space that could not be taken out openly and convert them all into money. It can be used urgently.

There are currently three people in her family earning wages, but they really don’t have much money saved.

Dad’s salary is needed to buy a month’s worth of food and household expenses, and he also has to spend five yuan every month to support his grandparents.

The mother's salary has to pay for the tuition fees of the three siblings and the medical expenses of the younger brother, who is about to go to elementary school.

It was hard just a few years ago. My father’s salary had to pay for the house. I spent all the money to buy food and didn’t have any savings.

Now that her life is better and she has more money to pay off, she estimates that it would be good to have 100 yuan at home.

As for the eldest brother's salary, it was 30 yuan a month. It had just been raised. It was only a dozen yuan before, which was enough for her to spend. It had only been raised for two months. I saved 30 yuan and gave her [-] yuan.

Lian Qingbai's leave time was limited, so he sent Momo into the waiting room and left, but Momo turned around and refunded the ticket.

Momo decided to process the fruit in Zhoushi after careful consideration. Yangcheng was where she lived, and it would be troublesome if someone recognized her. Zhoushi was an unfamiliar place, and it was a big station with a lot of people coming and going. Will pay attention to her, safer.

Momo first found a guest house near the train station and got a private room with a letter of introduction. A private room cost one yuan a day, which was quite expensive.

She changed into a turtleneck sweater and still wore her original clothes. She left the guest house with a black half-length woolen coat in her package. The clothes she bought in the future.

Both the train station and the suburbs are the locations for the black market. This is a common feature of the city. The train station has a large flow of people and is convenient for running and buying and selling, while the suburbs pay attention to safety.

Momo didn't dare to go to the black market in the suburbs alone. She planned to go to the train station. There were usually several black markets near the train station. Momo found a deserted alley and quickly changed her clothes, tied up her hair and put on a hat. I couldn't tell the length of your hair, and I took out the inconspicuous high-heeled shoes, which made me a lot taller. I wore a scarf that only exposed my eyes, and I pulled out black-rimmed glasses from the space. I felt relieved after my whole appearance changed.

Momo's rebirth is not short-sighted, and she feels a little dizzy due to the cold weather, but she can still adapt to it.

Momo turned around and saw a few people in front of an alley who had not moved. They were sentry.This is the black market, a very inconspicuous alley. As soon as Momo walked in, everyone stared at her warily. They continued to work on their own things when nothing unusual happened. She secretly thought that she was really wary.

Momo came here mainly for inquiring. She only carried a cloth bag and walked around. There were a lot of things in the black market, and the places where people bought eggs and meat were the most crowded.

Momo's eyes lit up when she saw the grain. She walked over and lowered her voice, "How do you sell cornmeal?"

The man selling cornmeal was not very enthusiastic and said in a formulaic manner: "If you don't have one piece of food stamps, you can get fifty cents from the national food stamps."

Momo's eyes widened and she was speechless. How many times had it been doubled? Counting the money given to her by her eldest brother, she only bought thirty kilograms.

"Can I exchange it for something?"

The man became more energetic this time, "Yes, I can only exchange for fine grains."

Momo breathed a sigh of relief, "How do I change it?"

As soon as the man heard that there was a way, cornmeal was easy to get these days, but fine grains were expensive. No matter how good he was, he couldn't get much. "One pound for third-grade rice is five kilograms, two yuan for second-grade rice, and three yuan for first-grade rice. The price of Fuqiang powder is the same. It’s one dollar cheaper per catty if you fill it with food stamps.”

Momo took a breath. She had always heard that grain on the black market was expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable. She calculated in her mind that her rice was definitely first-class. She couldn't get too much rice at home, so it would be best to replace it with cornmeal. .

As for the white flour, I don’t plan to replace it. You can sneak in cornmeal when cooking with white flour.Momo made a calculation in her mind, "In exchange for ten pounds of first-grade rice."

Don't be fooled by this man, he is someone who sells grain in the black market all year round. In his hands, the fine grain can be doubled again. Ten kilograms is a lot. He was very happy, "Ten kilograms for thirty kilograms of cornmeal."

Momo left first and pretended to get food. She came back carrying a basket with ten kilograms of rice on top and thirty kilograms of bananas on the bottom. Momo's shoulders hurt even though she was carrying the basket, but she only took a few steps.

The man took the food and saw bananas at a glance. He was shocked. This thing is difficult to get in the north. Then he looked at the woman's clothes and knew in his mind that bananas are rare. It is the Chinese New Year and the fruit is in short supply.Moreover, the woman showed it to him openly, and he understood immediately.

"Sister, do you want to sell these bananas or exchange them for food?"

The cornmeal already weighed thirty kilograms. I couldn’t carry too much, so I said without hesitation: “Sell it, what’s the price?”

The man calculated in his mind and tentatively made a price, "Three yuan a pound."

Momo didn't say anything. The man was testing her. Bananas are only found in the south and are rare in summer, let alone winter in the north.It’s time to catch up with the new year again, and it’s time to give the rarest and freshest gifts.

The man knew what he was thinking, "This way I can give you a real bargain. I want it all for four yuan a pound. If the girl sells it herself, it may be higher, but she also takes a lot of risks. Sell them all." Me and you are also down-to-earth.”

What the man said was exactly what Momo was thinking about. She didn't have to spend so much time in the black market. The longer she stayed, the more likely she would be spotted and exposed. Otherwise, she wouldn't have openly shown the man the bananas on her back. The price of [-] yuan was even higher than what she expected!
"Okay, there are about thirty kilograms here. You can get off first and I'll take the rest."

The man happily multiplied the weight, 32 pounds, 128 yuan.

Momo took the money and left, making sure not to follow. She collected the grain and carried the remaining bananas on her back, weighing 48 kilograms.She only had two boxes of bananas, so she bought them all, totaling eighty kilograms, and sold them for three hundred and twenty.

The man was happy after collecting the bananas, "Sister, if you have anything else, I'll collect it all."

Momo thought for a while and planned to sell two boxes of grapes. Grapes were only valuable in winter, not in summer. Some people had them in their yards.

"Are you harvesting grapes? Forty pounds."

The man was just talking politely, but he didn't expect to have something like this in return. "Hey, this thing is also rare in winter, but it's cheaper than bananas, two yuan and a half a pound."

Momo nodded and quickly sold the grapes for 100 yuan. Momo didn't dare to sell anymore, so she took the money and left quickly without waiting for the man to say anything.

She had been going back and forth a few times, and she felt someone was staring at her just now. When she looked back, she saw two men following her furtively, and she was indeed being stared at.

Momo's heart was about to jump into her throat. Fortunately, she was almost at the station, and just in time to exit the station. Momo took the opportunity to run, and then hid in an uninhabited alley to quickly change clothes and shoes, and made sure to return to her original appearance. She calmed her racing heart and took deep breaths several times before she felt better. She was really scared to death just now.

When Momo returned to the station, she saw two men guarding the station entrance, looking for her everywhere. Momo clasped her palms with her fingertips to remind herself to be calm, walked over without looking away, and went directly to buy tickets. at.

The two men didn't look at Momo at all. Their attires were too different. A fashionable woman and a little girl dressed in ordinary clothes didn't look like the same person. They continued to watch, and Momo put her mind back.

Momo bought a ticket for tomorrow morning. She didn't dare to go shopping outside and returned to the guest house.

Momo locked the door and changed her clothes. The clothes were soaked with sweat from the fright. She lay on the bed and counted the money silently. She sold four hundred and twenty fruits, plus the twenty given by her elder brother, she still had ten left in her hand. Yuan, four hundred and fifty, is a lot of money, and it can be considered a small asset.
