Chapter 17: The Black Market (2)
She smelled a faint sweet smell and followed the scent over a wall to find the source of the scent at dawn.
A big man dressed in tatters and tightly wrapped up a bamboo basket walked quickly under the dodging wall, and after a while turned to another alley.
Coming out at this time of the night with something on your back, if not to the black market, it is definitely to some hidden exchange point.
There may be something to be gained by following him, and after thinking about it, Dawn gently jumped off the wall and quietly followed.
Dahan didn't know that there was a cat behind him, and he was turning around in front of him, and he walked quickly for about ten minutes before slowing down.
Ahead is an alley entrance, and at this moment, there are also two tightly wrapped people waiting there.
The big man seemed to be very familiar with them, he silently greeted them, and the two of them let him in.
And here, dawn was sure that Dahan had entered the alley, she didn't continue to follow, but turned to the wall on the side and jumped up.
Squatting on the wall, Dawn saw the situation here thoroughly.
It is indeed a black market, this black market is cross-shaped, each intersection is connected, the intersection is guarded or sentry, out of the cross-shaped intersection and connected to other alleys, which means that once someone comes to catch, as long as you run out to drill into a certain color alley, the possibility of being caught is very small.
However, this is not the focus of Dawn, than to run away? She believed that no one could outrun her.
She wants to see how others sell things, and what they sell?
Although the light is dark, it is nothing to cats and beasts that can see at night.
Dawn walked along the wall for two rounds, and gradually figured out the situation here, the things sold were very miscellaneous, except for grain, cloth, tobacco and alcohol, etc., some were placed on the table, and most of the people were tightly wrapped for the buyer to take a sneak peek.
Dawn saw that most of the items they were carrying were gold, silver and jade, which were not easy to see.
The grain is all kinds of coarse grains, and there are one or two white rice noodles, which are still sold for third-class black noodles and broken rice, and the price, according to the quality, is about five to ten times the market price.
Dawn knows that people who do the black market hang their heads on their belts, and the prices are not outrageous and unreasonable.
Of course, there is also the big man she followed before, and the sweet fragrance she smelled was what he sold, and it was almost the most extravagant thing in the entire black market - Jinshi twist!
This kind of food is only known by its name at dawn.
Everyone knows that making twist flowers is not only to use white flour, but also to use oil, sugar, and other good things, and people who do not have some background support can't even get together a kind of material.
And since this person dares to take it out and sell it, let people look up to it.
What makes dawn happy the most is their way of communication, the old and spicy people directly use gestures to go back and forth, and most of the newcomers choose to bargain quietly, and they don't have to recite any slogans of Little Red Book at all!
For the difficult households with such slogans as dawn, it is simply too much to her taste, and she thinks that this kind of black market is specially created for her, and there is no one!
With a small mentality of excitement, the dawn face is stable.
She directly found a dead corner on the wall where no one was around, jumped down gently, entered the holy place and turned back, put on the previous ragged clothes, and put on a white-cloth-edged mask.
I used the stone knife that was already in the warehouse to cut a few small pieces of pork, and put two bags of rice with a total of 50 catties on my back before taking it out on the scale.
Seventy pounds of things, if it is a small body before dawn, I am afraid that I will not be able to climb up.
Fortunately, the body has been changed, and the physical fitness of the two seems to be superimposed.
It's still not comparable to other orcs, but it's still about the same as the average adult here.
Although it is a little reluctant to carry seventy pounds of things, it is still no problem to walk in just a few steps.
Dawn had already stepped on it, and she was ready to sell things next to Dahan.
It's not because the big man looks hard backstage, and it's not because he has to rely on him if the things he sells are good, it's purely because he fell in love with someone else's twist at dawn, and it's almost easy to get closer, isn't it?
It's not easy to make some money these days, and it's a little bit to save a little.
The dawn who would live a life didn't notice that she walked over with a small body carrying a big bag, attracting attention all the way.
When dawn stopped beside the big man and put things on the ground, everyone was even more surprised, they only saw that the person who came was not tall before, but they didn't expect this small body to be a little girl.
Waiting for dawn to pull the rice bag apart is even more terrible.
It was actually white rice and fragrant bacon, and the one who was close to it quietly stretched out its head, and judging from the fragrance and color of these two faint emanations, it was designated as a good thing.
Where did this little girl come from, it's so godly!
I have to say that even if it is dark, people in the black market have the same heart that is good at discovering, especially when it comes to eating, which smells it.
No, before dawn squatted down, someone surrounded him.
"How do you sell rice?" The words spoken by the visitor were barely understood at dawn.
She glanced up at the person who came, and replied calmly, "One pound for two taels of national food stamps, or no food stamps for five pounds of one piece." ”
Hearing this, the people around didn't care about the accent of the outsiders, and directly gasped, "One pound a piece!" I also have to take two taels of national food stamps! It's too expensive! ”
"It's a terrible thing!"
Hearing this, Xiaoxiao secretly rolled her eyes, if she hadn't just known that cornmeal was five cents a pound and broken rice was eight cents a pound, she would have almost believed their evil.
didn't speak, her little hand directly grabbed a handful of white flowers, and as the rice "fluttered" down, she even heard the sound of people around her quietly swallowing saliva.
In those days, even restaurants haven't seen fragrant rice for more than a year, let alone ordinary people.
The main reason is that Tsu City does not produce rice, so you can imagine how rare this fine rice is.
Seeing that the effect was there, Dawn calmly replied to the person in front of him, "Love wants it, don't get out of the way!" ”
This look of ignoring the love made the surroundings mute for a while, and it was the boss who let the food in his hands.
"Yes! Why not! Who can live with food? A tall, thin young man with his face covered and eyes came from behind, and he pulled away the man in front of him.
Squatting in front of Dawn and asked, "Little girl, how did you sell this meat?" ”
Xiaoxiao noticed that what he said was not in the local dialect, but she didn't care who bought it, and seeing that his attitude was quite good, she replied directly, "My bacon is smoked with a secret recipe, it can be guaranteed for at least a year, and the taste is also very good. ”
After a pause, Dawn added, "Those with watch tickets, cloth tickets, and industrial tickets can also be exchanged." ”
Three pieces, as the words of dawn fell, there was a small gasp around him, "Three pieces, the fresh pork outside is only seven cents!" ”
Dawn snorted coldly, with a fierce expression, "You also said that it's outside, this is the black market, if you can buy meat outside, you can still come here?" ”
