She entered the space and used the cart she prepared to load the various vegetables she was going to sell today, as well as some rice and noodles. The quantities of these were not large, so she just took them out and sold them.
After installing it and observing that no one was outside, I left the space with a cart full of goods.
In order to prevent others from seeing what was on it on the road, she also covered it with a rainproof and opaque tarpaulin.
She also disguised herself and put on makeup on her face. Her craftsmanship was pretty good, so she was not afraid of meeting acquaintances.
I pushed the cart towards the black market warehouse and arrived in about ten minutes.
When the gatekeeper saw her pushing the cart, he knew she was here to sell things, so he asked for a dime before letting her in.
After entering the black market, she pushed the cart for a while and then found an empty spot at the edge and parked the cart.
She uncovered some of the oilcloth on the cart, revealing some grains and vegetables inside. She stood behind the cart and waited for someone to come forward and ask.
After a while, someone noticed her side. A woman came forward with a basket and asked in a low voice: "Little brother, what's the price of these vegetables for you?"
"Chinese cabbage costs two cents per catty. No votes. Auntie, look, I just cut it from the field this morning. It's fresh." Fang Nuoye replied in a low voice.
The aunt followed her instructions and picked up a vegetable and looked at it. It was indeed very fresh, with dew still hanging on the leaves.
So he said: "It's really good. Then bring me two Chinese cabbages. The price of everything else is the same?"
"Spinach, carrots, coriander, and green onions are all three points, and everything else is two points," Fang Nuo said.
"Then bring me some of everything. Let me see how many pockets you have over there. What are they selling?" The aunt was picking up the vegetables and found a few big pockets on one side, so she asked her.
"That's some food, including rice, white flour, and cornmeal. Auntie, do you want some?" Fang Nuo introduced.
The aunt didn't expect that she still had white flour in her hand. Thinking of her little grandson at home, who hadn't eaten refined grains for a long time, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What's the price?"
"Rice and white flour are only 20 cents a catty, and cornmeal is 181 catties. They are all free of charge. Auntie, don't listen to the fact that my price is higher than others. Take a look at my grains first. They are all good quality grains. "Fang Nuo said, and opened the bag of rice to show the aunt.
The aunt really felt that her asking price was too high, so she thought about not buying it, but she couldn't help but walked over to take a look at the food.
I saw that the rice was actually whole and processed very cleanly. There was not a single bit of rice bran or pebbles inside. This was indeed a rare quality grain.
She thought that such good food was not available everywhere, and finally said: "Then put five kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of cornmeal in the same bag. Okay, that's all, you can do the math for me. money"
"Okay, do you have a food bag with you? If not, the one I have here costs 20 cents each," Fang Nuo asked.
Most grain bags in this era were sewn with cloth, so it was impossible for her to give bags to others for free.
"Yes, here it is." When the aunt heard her saying that the bags cost 20 cents, she immediately took out three grain bags from her basket.
Fang Nuo quickly packed the food and weighed it, then weighed the vegetables she picked out one by one.
Three Chinese cabbages weighed a little over ten kilograms, so Fang Nuo counted ten kilograms for her. She also picked up seven kilograms of other vegetables that cost two to a kilogram.
In addition, spinach and carrots are both five pounds, and coriander and green onions are the same one pound.
He pretended to put all the dishes aside and said to the aunt across from him: "Auntie, the total is Western dollars and fifty cents."
"You have to tell me what's right. If my family members tell me what's wrong when I go back, I'm going to come and cause trouble for you," the aunt said.
"Auntie, don't worry, I will never make a mistake," Fang Nuo replied with a smile.
The aunt didn't say anything else. She counted out the money and gave it to her. She put the things into her big basket and left quickly.
Not long after she left, several customers came to Fang Nuo's stall. Seeing that her vegetables and grains were good, they were all sold out in a short time.
She didn't rush to count how much money she made today. Instead, after seeing off the last customer, she put everything on the cart, covered it with an oilcloth, pushed the cart and left the black market.
After she left the black market, she felt someone was following her. She was so frightened that she walked faster, pushing the cart through the alleys.
After walking for more than half an hour, she got rid of the people behind her. She quickly found a hidden place where no one was and took the cart into the space.
After changing out of her clothes, she took some things she wanted to take home and put them in a backpack. Then she took a fatter piece of meat and wrapped it in oil paper for Aunt Dahua's house. In the backpack.
There are also some worthless items placed on it, just in case I meet the aunt from the village on the road and have to open it to take a look.
After packing her things, she went to change into the clothes she had worn when going out in the morning. She also washed off the disguise on her face, cleaned her neck and hands, and then made room for the backpack on her back.
She walked out of the alley and blended into the crowd on the street, and walked towards the entrance of the town where the bullock carts were parked.
When she arrived, the ox cart from the village had not yet arrived, but the two aunts who had come with her in the ox cart in the morning were already waiting.
Seeing her coming over, he smiled and asked: "Fang Zhiqing, what did you buy when you came to town? You have a heavy bag on your back."
"I don't have much, I mainly brought some things to the captain's family, things from two families, so I saw a lot," Fang Nuo replied.
"Is that so? By the way, why don't you see your child when you go out? You don't leave your child alone at home, do you?" another aunt asked
"Auntie, don't worry. Although I'm a new mother, I still know that I can't leave my child alone at home. Auntie Dahua asked me to help carry things. She asked me to carry Yaya to her house and she helped me. "Looking at it for a long time," Fang Nuo replied, but his tone was not as good as before.
"That's it, I misunderstood you, Fang Zhiqing, don't mind. I am also a mother, and I care about my children." She said this, but if Fang Nuo answered her, leave the child alone If you leave it at home, this person will make a show of talking about Fang Nuo.
Fang Nuo ignored her, put the backpack on the ridge aside, rested for a while, and waited for the arrival of the bullock cart.
Fortunately, the village elder didn't keep her waiting any longer, and the bullock cart arrived soon.
I grabbed the three of them and waited for a while. When no one came, the bullock cart set off.
After swaying all the way for more than half an hour, Fang Nuo leaned on his backpack and closed his eyes to fall asleep, also paying attention to his backpack.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Fang Nuo got out of the car and paid. Thinking that he had too many things on his back, he didn't go to Aunt Dahua's house to pick up the children first. Instead, he carried the things back first and used a basket to load the things he had brought for Aunt Dahua. , and then went to Aunt Dahua’s house to pick up the child.
