Chapter 3
It is said that there is a black market in the 60s, and she has food, so he can use the food to exchange for some money and tickets. After all, how can she find a job with empty pockets, this job will not fall from the sky to you, and you will have a chance when you go out.

Thinking of this, Ye Qian fell asleep peacefully after cleaning up the trash she had eaten.

……

The next day, Ye Qian got up early and went directly to the county seat.When going out, she carried a small backpack on her back, which was made by the original owner's father when she was young.And the original owner went to the county with her parents a few years ago, so she has some memories in her mind, so she shouldn't misjudge the journey.

Ye Qian's house is relatively remote, except for the one next door, the other houses are far away.Now it's time for breakfast again, so I didn't bother. Food is precious in this era, and no one wants to share an extra bite with others, which means that I have to eat a smaller bite.Ye Qian had this self-consciousness in her heart, and she didn't dare to bother her when eating.

There are no mountains in Yejia Village, but there are several ponds.The villagers here have never been short of fish to eat, but now the pond is owned by the brigade, and they catch fish privately. If they are caught, they will be criticized, that is, they can share a few more fish during the Chinese New Year.

The pond in the 60s was different from the current one. The periphery of the pond was not fenced, and the edge of the pond was covered with moss, which made accidents very easy.

There used to be a pond in front of Ye Qian’s house. When Ye Qian was young, an old lady died. When the old lady fell into the pond, everyone was working. When she found out, there was no one there. After a few years Another little boy died, and the production team filled up the pond.Otherwise, the brigade will not be able to bear the responsibility if people are killed all the time.

……

There is a car from the village to the county seat, but Ye Qian is reluctant to part with the fare. She has so little money on her body now, and although she intends to go to the black market to exchange money, it is not certain whether she can get it.Ye Qian could only rely on her legs. She was hungry on the road, so she took out a steamed bun from the space and ate it while walking.

The road to the county seat was much farther than Ye Qian imagined, and it took nearly an hour and a half to get there.Although he had the memory of the original owner, he was still surprised when he arrived at the county seat.

After all, this county is too... broken.

The houses in the county are basically bungalows, but there are also many brick and thatched huts.It's just a small two-story building with bricks and tiles, and it's still a supply and marketing cooperative.Due to the rain in the past two days, the road surface has a lot of mud and is uneven.The pedestrians passing by looked yellow and thin, but they were dressed much better than the people in the countryside. At least a large part of the people's clothes were washed white, but there were no patches.Unlike in the countryside, there are so many patches and patches.

Ye Qian walked to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and saw the words 'serve the people' written on it, which was relatively new to Ye Qianwei.But she didn't dare to stay too long, and walked in after taking a look. There were very few people in the supply and marketing cooperative, and there were really more people selling than buying.

Ye Qian walked around the supply and marketing cooperative, and looked carefully at each counter. Although she had the memory of the original owner, she was still young at that time and her memory was very vague.So her first job now is to figure out what supplies are available now.If when you go out to sell supplies, you take out items that do not conform to this era, it will be difficult to explain.

Ye Qian looked at these dilapidated goods and found that most of them were empty. There was no way, the supplies were in short supply.I don't know how long the snacks at the door have been. They are dry. If you look carefully, you may find hair growing on them. This is not edible.Ye Qian frowned and took a few steps forward, and walked to the counter where the cloth was sold. Most of the cloths were dark, black, gray, blue, army green, and some small white cotton cloths. The other bright cloths were No, and there is no way to wear it in this era.

The other counter sells watches. Because of what she was wearing, she looked like she couldn't afford it. The counter lady ignored her and even rolled her eyes when she passed by. Ye Qian was really speechless.

The other counters were all empty, and it took about 2 minutes to come out after turning around.

Don't think about other things, let's find a way to sell some food.There are some noodles and flour without trademarks in the space, which can be sold directly.Ye Qian remembers that in this era, buying and selling privately seems to be called speculation, and if caught, the consequences seem to be quite serious.No matter how daring she was, she didn't dare to ask rashly. Before she could think of a countermeasure, she simply found a corner and sat there for a rest. By the way, she put some supplies in her small backpack, so that she could sell them later.

Ye Qian took out a white flour steamed bun from the basket, and ate it.Before taking two bites, a woman stood and looked at her.

Ye Qian was a little dazed, the woman's eyes made her feel a little helpless, like the eyes of a wolf looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.Ye Qian was a little scared. When she was about to get up and leave, the woman walked towards her directly. She was afraid that she would run away, so she grabbed her sleeve and asked, "Girl, where did you buy the white noodles?"

Ye Qian was taken aback by this woman's sudden action, but quickly calmed down and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

The woman looked at the white flour steamed bun in Ye Qian's hand and said: "There is a shortage of supplies now, and coarse grains may not be available. Don't even think about rice and white flour. I think your steamed buns are so white! If you have a way Point out to Auntie, Auntie will not treat you badly."

Ye Qian had originally planned to sell food, and this eldest sister asked the right question, which solved her urgent need.

Ye Qian tentatively asked, "Would you like white noodles? Do you want noodles?" It wasn't that Ye Qian was stupid and bold, but that there were only the two of them here now. If this woman played tricks, she could just hide in the space, even If this woman saw it, she would become a living person and no one would believe her if she said it, and she would have already run away at that time.

When the woman heard this, surprise flashed in her eyes, and she nodded quickly, "Yes, both."

Ye Qian opened the pannier and gave the woman a look, and the woman immediately grabbed Ye Qian's hand.

"Girl, you have too much, I can't take it back, why don't you go to my house," he said enthusiastically and gave me directions, "It's just ahead, just turn a corner, you can ask for money or tickets." Okay." To be honest, Ye Qian was really afraid of going to her house, if something happened, it would be hard to run away.

Seeing Ye Qian's hesitant expression, the aunt said, "My name is Zheng Xiaomei, and I work in the supply and marketing cooperative. The counter selling daily necessities over there, you can come to the supply and marketing cooperative to find me in the future." I don't think this aunt is lying. look, otherwise you will know if you go to the supply and marketing agency and ask, "You take me there."

Ye Qian followed the aunt and walked over, turned a corner and arrived at the entrance of a courtyard. Inside was a brick house. It seemed that the family conditions seemed to be good. After entering the courtyard, there were three houses inside. The aunt walked to the left Walking past the house, he took out the key and opened the lock in front of the door, then turned to Ye Qian and said: "My wife and I both have jobs, and my wife went to work, because the elderly at home were hospitalized, so I asked for a few days off I just ran into you girl." After entering the door, the kitchen is on the left, Ye Qian glanced at it and said to her aunt, "Just put the things in the kitchen."

Auntie saw that she was really scared, so she didn't force her. She went into the kitchen and took out the things. There were a total of 6 buckets of noodles, 5 catties per bucket, and 20 catties of white flour.

Noodles cost 1 yuan and 5 catties, with 5 taels of food stamps, flour with 2 yuan a catty, with 5 taels of food stamps, and paid according to the black market price. I don't know if it's the price, but the aunt's heartbroken expression when she took the money should not seem to be less, so Ye Qian accepted it just like that.

After making the first transaction, I became a little more courageous.After Ye Qian came out of this aunt's house, she walked around the neighborhood and looked at the red brick houses here. These people's family conditions should be good, so after thinking about it, she decided to knock on the door and ask.
