Chapter 21: Black Market 2
At first glance, the man looks like a worker in the city. This kind of person usually has money and tickets!
Zhao Xiulan hurriedly walked towards the man, and when she came to the man's side, she lowered her voice and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, comrade, do you want food?"
The man looked at Zhao Xiulan with excitement and surprise, and asked, "Girl, do you have food?"
Zhao Xiulan nodded.
The man's name is Guo Aidang, who has just wandered around the black market, wanting to buy some food. But the luck was not so good. I haven't met anyone who has food yet. I didn't expect that someone would come to sell his food.
"I want it!" Guo Aidang hurriedly nodded and asked, "Girl, what kind of food do you have here? How much?"
Zhao Xiulan reported everything in the basket, "Ten catties of rice, ten catties of white noodles, and ten catties of dried noodles!"
When Guo Aidang heard this, his eyes widened.
What?
Ten catties of rice, ten catties of white noodles, ten catties of dried noodles?
Guo Aidang looked at Zhao Xiulan's clothes and thought that Zhao Xiulan was just a countryman. Even if he came to resell food, he could only take out sweet potatoes, sorghum and other coarse grains.
But what did Zhao Xiulan say? There are rice, white noodles, dried noodles!
These are all fine grains!
Even on the black market, where the price is several times higher, it is not easy to buy refined grains.
Zhao Xiulan not only has refined grains, but there are so many!
Guo Aidang thought about it for a while, and then realized that maybe they were deliberately disguising themselves to sell food on the black market!
Many people who come to trade on the black market are people who have disguised themselves, just to hide from the public. Guo Aidang often came to the black market to buy food before, and it is not that he has never encountered it before.
Of course, these Guo Aidang don't care, all he cares about is the food in Zhao Xiulan's hands!
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had eaten refined grains. Now that Zhao Xiulan said there was rice, flour, and dried noodles, how could he not be excited!
Guo Aidang hurriedly asked Zhao Xiulan, "Girl, how much is your rice, white noodles, and dried noodles, I want them all!"
Zhao Xiulan didn't know the specific prices on the black market either. Thinking of the information in the space she checked before, if the supply in this era was taken with food stamps, the rice would only be two or three cents a pound, and the flour was almost the same as rice. The noodles are a little more expensive, and you can buy them for about fifty cents a pound. The price on the black market will almost double by ten times, and some refined grains may be more than ten times more expensive.
In the case of a shortage of supplies, although commodity grain is much cheaper, it is still difficult to get it from formal channels even if you have money and tickets, otherwise the price of grain on the black market will not be so much more expensive than the supply of grain.
Zhao Xiulan tentatively reported a price and said, "Rice and white noodles are three yuan a pound, and dried noodles are four yuan a pound.
But if you can have a ticket, rice and white flour are two yuan and 51 catties, plus half a catty of food coupons. Noodles cost three yuan per catty, plus half a catty of food stamps!
If you don't have food stamps, you'll be fine, you can give it to you, cloth stamps, sugar stamps, oil stamps, etc., even industrial stamps! "
Zhao Xiulan needs money and tickets now. Although there are a lot of materials in the space, they cannot be taken out at will. If she had all kinds of coupons, she could explain the legal source of the things she got in the future.
Guo Aidang was a little stunned when he heard the price reported by Zhao Xiulan. For a while, he thought that his ears had hallucinations and made a mistake.
Why is this price so cheap?
He buys food from the night market every month and knows the price. The price quoted by Zhao Xiulan was at least 30% cheaper than what other people sold on the black market!
