Chapter 4 Trading
Ye Qian walked into a house, knocked on the door, and an old lady came out.

The old lady looked puzzled, "Who are you looking for?", and the old lady was very vigilant when facing people she didn't know.

Ye Qian showed the old lady a look at the small pannier: "Would you like noodles!"

The old lady grabbed Ye Qian's arm in surprise, "Yes, girl, come in quickly." After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to see if there was anyone outside.

"How do you sell it?" asked the aunt.

"Auntie, I charge one yuan and five catties for five taels of food stamps at the black market price." The aunt knew that the price was not high when she heard it, and took all the 20 catties of dried noodles in the back basket.Before Ye Qian left, she also asked about the specific location of the black market, so as not to scurry around like a headless chicken, which is more dangerous.

After Ye Qian found out the location, she didn't go in a hurry. She went back to tidy up the space and prepare some supplies before going.Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a lot of yellow paper for packing supplies.On the way back, enjoy the scenery of this era, stop and go along the way, all the fragrance of the soil.

The morning passed in a flash, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon when she returned home again.

When I opened the door and saw a clean and tidy room, I was in a good mood.

Putting down the basket, he went to the water tank, scooped some water into the basin, washed his face, and the towel was covered with yellow dust.

Ok.

really dirty.

……

I have been busy for a long time today, and I ate two steamed buns, and I am already hungry.But it’s not dark yet, if someone comes in to look for her, it’s not easy to explain when she sees her eating something, so I took out a meat bun and ate it quickly, and I’ll have a good meal after dark .

I was tired after walking for a day, so I closed the door, lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while.When I opened my eyes again, it was past 11 o'clock in the evening, and of course I woke up from hunger.Sitting up, he took out the fried chicken and coke in the space and ate it.

Ok.

How cool.

After eating, I felt that it was not enough, so I added a can of eight-treasure porridge and ate a few skewers of barbecue.After tidying up the garbage, I had to lie down again.

There are no entertainment facilities in the 60s, and I can’t sleep anyway, so I might as well enter the space to sort out the supplies that will be sold tomorrow.

The brown sugar and the white sugar are divided into two catties, and 50 portions are each wrapped in yellow paper.There are still 10 boxes of dried noodles without trademarks, and there is no need to sort them out for now.Flour and rice were also unpacked, packed in cloth bags of 5 catties each, and 30 bags were packed.It can't be all fine grains, there should be more coarse grains.Ye Qian packed a lot of coarse grains, cornmeal, sweet potato noodles, sorghum noodles, 5 catties each, 30 bags each.

Looking at the sorted supplies, Ye Qian patted the ashes on her hands, and decided to go with these first, taking too much out may not be enough for this small county.After getting ready, it was another good night's sleep.

……

Wake up the next day.

Ye Qian decided not to repeat yesterday's mistakes, and must eat breakfast in the morning, after all, today is to do physical work.

Drank a bowl of preserved egg and lean pork porridge.

not enough.

I ate an egg.

Ok.

not enough.

And 2 bean paste buns.

Only then did I feel a little full in my stomach. This body hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and there is no oil and water in my stomach. It doesn't matter, and I will be hungry after a while.

Checking the time, it was already past 9 o'clock, I put on my back bag and locked the door, turned around and left.When she was about to arrive at the county seat, Ye Qian found a corner and put the materials prepared yesterday into the small backpack.He even deliberately disguised himself even if he was discovered by then, so he could change the disguise and escape quickly.

Ye Qian wore a wig, some makeup, and an old dress from the original owner's mother.It took more than an hour to go to the county seat. Fortunately, I was not stupid enough to fill my backpack before going out.With yesterday's experience, I am not so afraid today.

Ye Qian didn't go anywhere else when she arrived in the county, and went directly to the black market.This black market is quite easy to find, it's in the alley behind the scrap yard.After entering inside, I found a place to sit down. According to my previous experience of reading novels, as long as I sat down here and exposed the food, I was not afraid to ask questions.Ye Qian also tried boldly, and opened a piece of cloth on the back basket, revealing a corner of the dried noodles inside, and the eyes of the passing uncle lit up: "Girl, do you sell this food?" She thought, and sure enough someone asked.

"Uncle, what do you want?" When the uncle heard this, he said, "Whatever do you have, uncle wants it all."

"I have 6 tubes of dried noodles, 20 catties of white noodles, and 20 catties of rice. You must want them." After Ye Qian finished speaking, the uncle immediately showed surprise. These are all fine grains: "I want them all."

After the transaction here, the aunt who was watching from the sidelines immediately came over and asked, "Girl, do you still have any food here?"

Ye Qian looked at the aunt in front of her, and then said: "Auntie, if you want, can you come in the afternoon, right here?" After hearing this, the aunt smiled and agreed.

She still has a lot in her space, but this small back basket can't hold much. It's unreasonable to sell so much food and then take it out immediately.And she also wants to go to other places for a while, since she is not in a hurry to leave, she can come again.

After leaving the black market, Ye Qian walked into the supply chain, went to the sugar counter, and asked the salesperson, "Do you want dried noodles?"

The salesperson's face suddenly became tense, and he stretched out his hand to grab me, "Sister, do you have dried noodles?"

Ye Qian was taken aback by her pull, and opened the cloth on the small back basket: "Look, do you want it?"

The eldest sister of the salesperson took a look: "It's still fine grain, how much is it?"

"One piece, five catties, five taels of food stamps." Ye Qian bought them at the price on the black market.

Seeing that the eldest sister hesitated for a moment, Ye Qian was not in a hurry. There is a shortage of supplies now, so it would be nice to have them, so what if they are expensive, and what if you can bargain. You don't want it, there are a lot of people who want it.The eldest sister also knew that it would be difficult to get it if she missed it, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Give me twenty catties." The dried noodles are 5 catties a bucket, and she directly took out 4 buckets.

Ye Qian said: "I still have 8 buckets of noodles, look." The elder sister immediately understood what she meant, and said softly, "Wait, I'll call someone over." The sisters of the salespersons of the supplies all called over, and each of them took 4 buckets of noodles.

After the eldest sister paid the money, she said, "Sister, come to me next time if you have something else."

Ye Qian agreed, but she was still quite afraid of such a blatant speculation.

The county is so small, it would be hard to hide if someone wanted to arrest her, but now she has no money or tickets, so she can only take risks like this.

It's just like that, one shot for another place, and a trip to the black market on the way, and made a deal with the aunt I made an appointment with in advance.In one afternoon, I sold a lot and exchanged a lot of food stamps. Some people who didn't have food stamps also replaced them with other tickets.

In one day, 4 boxes of dried noodles were sold. There were not many white noodles and rice, but only a few bags, and coarse grains sold for tens of catties.But this is also understandable, there is no rice, who eats such fine grains, 5 catties of white flour can be exchanged for dozens of catties of coarse grains.

Ye Qian put the money directly into the space, there is no place safer than the space.
