Chapter 15 Black Market Sales
Xie Manman went out with a basket before dawn the next day. Xie Manman and Li Zizhou were at the entrance of the village. Li Zizhou was waiting early in the morning. Xie Manman brought a potato cake to Li Zizhou.

The potato cakes are crispy and delicious, and the taste is very punctual, not only the potato cakes but also the pumpkin cakes. Li Zizhou hesitated after looking at it, but took it.

"Are you going to buy something?" After taking a bite, Li Zizhou's eyes lit up with delicious taste, "How much do you plan to buy per catty?"

"Fifty cents a catty." Xie Manman said. Fifty cents a catty is not expensive, but it is not cheap either. The wages of people in this era are only about ten yuan, and there are people who have a few yuan.

Potato cakes worth fifty cents a catty are still very luxurious compared to pumpkin cakes, especially the weight of pumpkin cakes.

Hearing this, Li Zizhou nodded, "Fifty cents a catty is not bad, and there are people asking for a few cents more." He said while looking at Xie Manman, and Xie Manman nodded after hearing this.

Xie Manman's basket is quite big, and the things in it are quite heavy. Xie Manman started cooking secretly since last night. The reason why his parents didn't find out was because Xie Manman gave herbal medicine to soothe the nerves when cooking. .

After eating this calming herbal medicine, the parents fell asleep directly, and it was impossible to wake up easily. Of course, there were not many side effects. It was impossible for Xie Manman to tell Xie's mother and father about the business.

The more people who know about this matter, the more unfavorable it is for me, especially my mother usually speaks too fast, and it is easy to expose the matter, even the people in the family will not agree.

After arriving at the black market, Xie Manman covered his face, Li Zizhou explained the rules to Xie Manman, Xie Manman nodded, "Why did you bring me here?"

"Your cakes taste very good. Instead of looking for someone outside, it's better to come to this yard. There are enough workers' families living in this yard. If you don't need anything, you need food." In the era of food stamps, food was the most scarce for people in the city.

Hearing this, Xie Manman nodded, went to a small building, and found an aunt who knew Li Zizhou, "You have wild game again today?"

"No, I brought some pancakes today, ma'am, you have to try it." Hearing this, the majesty nodded, and had traded with Li Zizhou many times, her eyes lit up when she saw the potato pancakes and pumpkin pancakes.

"How much is a catty?" Looking at Li Zizhou, Xie Manman said nothing from the beginning to the end, just watching Li Zizhou do business.

"The cheapest cake on the supply and marketing side costs one dollar a catty, and this cake costs [-] cents... and the taste is better than the one on the supply and marketing side," Li Zizhou said.

"It's not expensive." Potato cakes and pumpkin cakes taste very good, "How much do you have?" Eighty cents a catty.

When Li Zizhou looked at it, he said, "About ten catties..." After hearing this, the aunt looked at it.

"Give it all to me." Li Zizhou was a little surprised when he heard this, "It just so happens that there will be a happy event at home tomorrow, and I wanted you to bring the prey, but this pancake is not bad."

"En." Li Zizhou nodded and made it for the aunt. The pancake weighed eleven and a half catties, Xie Manman directly removed the half catty, and Li Zizhou and Xie Manman took the money and left.

"Li Zizhou, it seems that you are quite familiar with the people here?" Xie Manman said, and Li Zizhou nodded.

"Well, sometimes I get wild game in the mountains, and I sell it here." Then I can go back for something to eat, that is, snacks.

Because it is very difficult to cook what I eat in many cases, Xie Manman nodded when he heard this. He was lucky today, and he was asked for all by one person.

It was almost ten yuan. When Xie Manman looked at it, he gave Li Zizhou one yuan. Li Zizhou was stunned, "You brought me here, and you taught me, so this is a labor fee..."

Today, when Li Zizhou took him to sell things, he told himself a lot of things, how to be careful not to be targeted by others, and how to sell them safely.

After talking about a lot of things, Xie Manman felt that this matter was much more than a dollar. After hearing this, Li Zizhou looked at it and took it without saying a word.

A few days ago, my sister got divorced and lived alone with the child. He couldn't help it, so he would send money back. When sending money back, his own money became less and less.

Now one dollar is a huge amount of money for him, Xie Manman said goodbye to Li Zizhou when he had money, and went to the supply and marketing side to buy some flour.

The flour in the house was used up by myself, of course it needs to be replenished. Xie Manman bought some flour and went to buy meat. Xie Manman only realized it now.

The staff in this era don’t have the saying that customers are gods, they all have their nostrils upturned, and they buy some from Shermanman, that’s cynicism, and they are not angry at all.

Xie Manman thinks that if this is in modern times, in the last days... this person is definitely the one who was beaten to death, and Xie Manman didn't care about it. Every era has its own customs and customs.

Xie Manman bought ten catties of flour, went to buy some bones, and then went home with the things, planning to go back and cook a delicious meal, as long as the flour Xie Manman planned to make pastries.

Xie Manman can make a lot of cakes, flower cakes and food cakes. Flower cakes are easier and simpler. He plans to pick flowers after returning home and use them to make flower cakes.

It is easy to find the pastry materials near the mountains. Xie Manman was on the way back. Someone looked at Xie Manman and greeted Xie Manman. Xie Manman smiled.

When Xie Manman came home, both Xie's mother and Xie's father had gone out. Although the daughter was not there when she woke up, she didn't care too much.

During these days, Xie Manman sometimes woke up to look for wild vegetables, and would go to the foot of the mountain to look for wild vegetables, so he went to work without paying attention. After returning, Xie Manman put down his things and started to wash his hands and pick wild vegetables.

Today's money was about five yuan, and there were about two yuan left. Xie Manman returned some flour and kept a lot in the room, and then went out to pick wild vegetables.

When Xie Manman was picking wild vegetables, he saw that Li Zizhou was also on the mountain. The farm work in the village was getting less and less. Li Zizhou basically had no way to earn work points, and he didn't do any work when he was rejected.

In the words of the educated youth, Li Zizhou didn't want to do it himself, and Li Zizhou didn't explain it. The people in the village also respected him because of the rumors about the educated youth, and so did the village chief, so it was useless for him to say it.

Xie Manman looked at Li Zizhou and asked, "Have you eaten?" Li Zizhou shook his head, Xie Manman smiled and asked Li Zizhou to sit not far away, and lit a fire.

"Let's have a barbecue today." There were few people here, Li Zizhou nodded, and Xie Manman washed the wild vegetables and skewered them with bamboo sticks and roasted them directly.

Facing the relationship system between Xie Manman and Li Zizhou, it feels very gratified. It finds that as long as it does not interfere, Xie Manman's attitude towards Li Zizhou is quite good.
