The black market isn't that easy to find, though.

If the black market could be found by a foreigner who walked two steps casually, it would have been served a long time ago, although bartering could barely be considered legal, but it couldn't be done too openly, not to mention that the black market was also indispensable to people who bought things with money tickets, and the location naturally had to be set up more secretively, not easy for people to detect.

Qiao Mu kept groping for remote corners in this county, and it took a lot of effort to finally see someone trading at a sandwich crossing when it was almost dark.

Seeing someone trading, Qiao Mu immediately knew that this was not a black market, but also a small black market, and hurriedly took a small bag of polished rice from the penguin farm and carried it in his arms, and quietly walked in, without talking like others, holding a small handful of rice in one hand and displaying it, and walking back and forth with one hand carrying the things in his hand, constantly walking back and forth.

After walking for less than two minutes, someone took a fancy to the rice in her hand, and hurriedly walked over and said:

"Grandma, what do you want to exchange for the rice in your hand?"

"I want to exchange some industrial tickets, and other tickets are fine without industrial tickets, but don't have food-related tickets, one pound of polished rice for five tickets!"

Qiao Mu is not short of anything to eat, there is a penguin farm, she actually lacks nothing, but the big canteen may be canceled after a while, so she has to save some industrial tickets and other tickets, otherwise it is not good to eat openly.

"Yes, how many catties of rice do you have?"

Zhang Gui has two workers in his family, so there is no shortage of industrial tickets, and now even if he has an industrial ticket in his hand, he is reluctant to take money to buy something that needs an industrial ticket, because the recent food supply is getting more and more difficult, and the original supply of fine grains should supply rice, but now it has been changed to cornmeal, you can imagine what the tight food supply has become, if you don't secretly buy something back in the black market, it is estimated that the family will have to go hungry.

If this grandma has enough rice in her hand, he may be able to become a second-class seller.

"Is ten pounds okay? And two catties of dried noodles!

No money, just tickets. ”

Qiao Mu is still quite confident in the articles she writes, but different worlds have been written for hundreds of years, and she feels that she should be able to receive a lot of manuscript fees after a while, so at this time, it is natural that there is no money to exchange things, just tickets.

"Grandma, I don't have enough industrial tickets!

So, you see, can tickets like soap tickets, coal tickets, and oil tickets be exchanged? ”

Zhang Gui said that he was also a little apprehensive, although he had a lot of various tickets in his hand, but some rural people may not want to ask for things like soap tickets, many people in the county are reluctant to spend money to buy soap and come back to take a bath, let alone rural people, so they will be worried.

"Yes, how many meters do you want?"

Qiao Mu actually thinks it's okay, and these tickets are also useful, don't say anything else, just say soap tickets, go back and spend some money to buy a piece of soap as a gift when her great-grandson gets married, that is also very face-saving, other things like oil and coal are also useful, but other people are reluctant to use it, so they will transfer the tickets out.

"I want to do both, can I?

Let's go to the side and talk, my house is on the side, and it's a bit dangerous outside. ”

Zhang Gui saw that there were two more people around him who wanted to come over and ask for the price, so he hurriedly showed Qiao Mu the ticket in his pocket, and then said hurriedly.

"Alright, I'll take the rest!"

Qiao Mu is not worried about what this young man can do to her, just kidding, there are still dozens of Qinglong Yanyue Knife and Pangu Open Heaven Axe left in her penguin farm, and she is afraid that this kid will not be able to eat black.

As he spoke, he took out another five catties of rice and two catties of noodles from the dark corner on the side, and followed Zhang Gui to his house, not to mention, it was really not far away, less than a hundred meters in total.

Just turn a corner.

After opening the door and entering, there was another person inside who should be Zhang Gui's mother, and the two made eye contact, and Zhang Gui's mother went out to watch the door.

Qiao Mu put the things on the table, opened the rice bag and the noodles, showed him how clean his rice and noodles were, and said with a smile:

"My rice is all polished rice, and the noodles are all fine noodles, and there is not a single bit of wheat bran and rice husks, which is cleaner than what is sold in the supply cooperative.

You just say how many industrial tickets can you get? ”

"Grandma, I only have thirty industrial tickets.

You can exchange it for six catties of rice, right, the other tickets may add up to a little insufficient, in this way, I still have a sewing ticket in my hand, you see if you can get fifteen industrial tickets, this sewing ticket is very rare, if you buy a sewing machine back, it is definitely ...... to give your daughter as a dowry"

As he spoke, Zhang Gui couldn't go on.

The old lady in front of him looked like she was seventy or eighty years old, even if she had a daughter, she was estimated to be a grandmother now, and she wanted a Mao dowry.

Qiao Mu also rolled his eyes:

"Thank you, my daughter is about to hold her great-grandson, you don't need a dowry, you still give me some practical ones, meat stamps and food stamps!"

"That, grandma, even if we exchange meat stamps for you and food stamps, you probably won't be able to buy them!

Our meat tickets have been saved for half a year, and every time I go to grab it, I haven't grabbed it once, and I haven't even grabbed the pig's trotters and pigs in the water, so you wait here for a while, and I'll go and change it with other neighbors, and see if I can change the tickets for you! ”

At this time, it does not mean that you will be able to buy things if you have a ticket, you have to be able to grab a ticket and money, in fact, many times, many things are in short supply, only to queue up before dawn in the morning, or have something to do with the salesperson, you can let the salesperson help you keep some.

Otherwise, you may not be able to buy it.

Especially since the beginning of this year, after the national supply has tightened, it has become more difficult to buy.

Think about it, killing so many pigs in a week to supply half of the county, who is enough for this? On average, the family has less than a penny.

Whoever buys meat can really buy a penny, at least according to the one, two, two or two on the meat ticket.

"Alright then, hurry up!

I'm in a hurry to get home! ”

Although Qiao Mu already knew that he would definitely go back in the dark later, he still hoped that he could leave early, and it would be dark for a while!

As for why I don't stay in a hotel.

Hehe, I still want to stay in a hotel without a letter of introduction these years, and I will arrest you and take you to the Public Security Bureau in minutes to strictly investigate whether you are a spy or not.

When Zhang Gui heard Qiao Mu's agreement, he hurriedly counted twenty-five industrial tickets for Qiao Mu, exchanged Qiao Mu's five catties of rice and gave it to his wife, and then hurriedly went out with some things at home.

I didn't go far, I just went to my neighbor's house to exchange some industrial tickets and other things, they are all workers' families, and there is a shortage of rice and noodles, but there is really no shortage of industrial tickets, so I came back in less than two minutes.
