"Whew! Girl, I won't hide it from you, there is such a famine, cornmeal is classified as fine grain, and there are very few good things like rice and white flour, and there is only a little supply during the New Year's holidays, and the supply exceeds demand. ”

Whispering this, the old lady sighed.

"My daughter-in-law is in confinement, she can't eat a mouthful of fine grain, the baby has been born for three days, the milk can't come down, and the baby is hungry and screaming. Girl, if you have a way, please help my old man and show me the way. I won't hide it from you, in the black market, the high-priced grain is several dollars a pound, and you may not be able to get it, and I will not treat you badly in terms of price. ”

In this era, food is really more precious than money.

Feng Qingxue has seen the situation of the black market in the information, and the state strictly prohibits buying and selling.

To put it bluntly, it is forbidden for ordinary people to trade privately.

However, under hunger, there are not a few people who take risks, and the black market has become a place where everyone knows it, some trade in the streets and alleys, some trade under the trees and bridges, and some trade in the train station, and the location often changes.

Some even negotiate business during the day and trade materials at night.

Everyone's life is not easy, unless it is the kind of person who strictly abides by the laws and regulations of the country, and usually turns a blind eye.

Because there are a lot of materials stored in the space, so Feng Qingxue wants to sell some food, there is not enough food, but also money, fortunately, food is more important than money, and now the old lady asks so, which happens to be in line with her heart.

She likes to read books and knows how to make micro-expressions, and she can see if the old lady is lying.

The old lady didn't lie, so she whispered too.

"Do you want rice and white noodles? Do you want eggs? ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, then calmed down and nodded quickly, "Girl, is there really one?" ”

The wind and snow patted the back basket at his feet.

The old lady was overjoyed, grabbed her, and whispered, "I want it, I want it." ”

After saying this, she raised her voice, "I said eldest girl, if I hadn't seen you come over to say hello, I didn't know that you were a relative of my mother's family, how could a relative not come to the door?" Get up and come with me for some hot water. ”

Now even if you have money, you can't buy the fine grain you want to buy on the black market, which shows its preciousness.

Therefore, the old lady did not want to let go of the wind and snow.

"Auntie, it's really you, I don't even recognize it." Feng Qingxue said as she stood up and put the basket behind her shoulder, "But I'm going to find someone in a while, so I won't go to your house." ”

After saying this sentence loudly, Feng Qingxue lowered his voice, "Let's find a place where no one is there to trade, and the door won't have to be closed." ”

It's indispensable to be defensive, especially since she is now a defenseless girl.

The old lady nodded, no objection.

"Girl, where can I find you when I go home to get my money and pockets?" The old lady often goes in and out of the black market and is also sensible.

Feng Qingxue thought for a while, "I'll wait for you under the old elm tree not far away." There are a lot of people here, and there are many people. ”

"Okay, you go first, I'll go later." The old lady obviously knew the iconic old tree too.

"Let me ask first, what price can the eldest lady offer? If the price is right, I won't look for someone else. ”

"In the black market, food stamps are five yuan a catty, fine grains such as rice and white flour are more expensive than one dollar, and eggs are also five yuan a catty. Girl, I pay six yuan a catty, I buy as much as you have, don't sell it to others. ”
