These days, there is a shortage of supplies, private transactions are prohibited, and the liquidity of supplies is very poor. People in the countryside grow their own food, while people in the city get their food distributed by the state, so they have to buy it with their own money and need food stamps.
Many people do not have enough food to eat, and if they want to survive, they can only go to the black market to buy high-priced food.
Food at this time is particularly valuable.
There are several black markets in the county, and Gu Qingyao knows about them.
She came to a black market with a backpack on her back. This is a relatively open place. The main reason is... It is easier to escape, and the vision is wide and clear at a glance.
With a backpack on her back, Gu Qingyao walked into the crowd and began to look for her target.
Most of the people here want to buy food, otherwise, who would go to the black market? As soon as Gu Qingyao appeared with a backpack on her back, someone looked over.
She had a heavy bag in her back basket, and there was something there when she saw it.
Gu Qingyao looked at it for a while, and fell in love with an old lady who was dressed a little more decently, and there was a young man standing beside her, who seemed to be her son.
Gu Qingyao's eyes flickered, and she slowly came to her, suppressing her voice, trying to imitate an older voice, "Sister, do you want food?"
The old lady was a little nervous, "Is there any fine grain?"
Gu Qingyao said: "Yes, there are some meat and eggs."
The old lady and her son's eyes lit up immediately, "I want it, I want it, I want as much as you have, big girl, please don't sell it to others, let's find another place, I want it all, my daughter-in-law I am in confinement and need these urgently.”
Gu Qingyao nodded, "Go to those alleys in front! It leads in all directions and there is no one there. Go first, I'll be there later."
The old lady nodded quickly, "Okay, okay! Don't sell it to others, big sister! I want it all!"
"Okay, sister, don't worry!"
Being called big sister by an old lady, Gu Qingyao was embarrassed, but she didn't show it, and still called her big sister.
After the two left, Gu Qingyao walked around the black market, and saw a young man in his thirties. Gu Qingyao had met this man in his previous life, and he often appeared on the black market. He did the same job as Chen Jin.
Gu Qingyao walked up to him and whispered, "Do you want fine grain? Do you want bacon?"
That person saw Gu Qingyao's eyes strange at first, and was a little defensive, but when he heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.
This is a good thing. What he needs most are scarce items such as fine grains and meat, especially when the end of the year is approaching.
"Yes, let's change places."
Gu Qingyao followed him to a big tree, and the man said enthusiastically, "How much do you have, big sister?"
Gu Qingyao looked around, and replied: "Ten catties of fine white flour, six catties of rice, three catties of a piece of bacon, and... there are more than twenty eggs and a few apples, do you want it?"
The man was so excited, I didn't expect it! I came across such a capable person.
"If you want it, I want it all!"
Gu Qingyao said: "Then according to the rules, all the prices are fine grains, five yuan a catty, I only need money, not a ticket."
The man was very happy, and he didn't even need a ticket, which was easy to handle.
"Can."
So, Gu Qingyao took out the things, and the man carried a small scale with him. After weighing it, the eggs and apples totaled six catties, plus grain and bacon, a total of twenty-five catties, and a total of one hundred and twenty-five yuan.
After collecting the money, Gu Qingyao handed the things to him. The man took the things happily, and said to Gu Qingyao with a smile: "Sister, you have good things to remember me from now on! I'm always here."
Gu Qingyao nodded, turned and left.
