NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 140
Chapter 140 Black Market
Chapter 140 Black Market
Li Xiaoyu went to the black market and wanted to know the market. She went straight to the Great Basin, wondering if the black market was still there.
Luckily, the black market is still in the Great Basin. When Li Xiaoyu, who was covering his face and carrying a small back basket, appeared, Xiao Liuzi appeared.
“Little sister, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for many days.”
“Brother Liuzi, I know about your business. The note is kept in the old place.” After Li Xiaoyu gave Xiaoliuzi a dime, he went in directly with the basket on his back.
There are more people on the black market than before, but there are more buyers than sellers, and as soon as things appear, they are taken away at high prices. Most of the grains that appear are mainly coarse grains, and the precious things such as rice have not yet been seen.
Eggs and meat have not been seen, and it has reached the point where one egg and one meat are hard to find.
Li Xiaoyu was surrounded by people as soon as he appeared with a basket on his back.
“Anything good, I’ll pay double the price!” asked a thin old man.
“Uh!” Li Xiaoyu was taken aback by this man’s arrogance: “Egg, double yolk egg, fifty cents a piece.”
The old man took the small backpack in Li Xiaoyu’s hand: “Sell the backpack to me together.”
Li Xiaoyu was reluctant to part with the little backpack that was always with her, and held on to the rope of the backpack.
“I can’t give you this backpack!”
“Give you two dollars.”
“No!” Li Xiaoyu said stubbornly.
The middle-aged woman with a basket next to her said: “In this way, I will lend you my basket, but you have to give me twenty eggs. I have a daughter-in-law who is going to give birth to a baby.”
After the two negotiated, they bought the eggs in Li Xiaoyu’s back basket for 50 cents a piece, and the two shared the eggs on the black market.
Li Xiaoyu walked around the black market with an empty basket on her back. After learning about the price, she knew that her eggs were cheap.
Judging from the current market, the price of an ordinary egg is 40 cents a piece. And my own is a double-yolked egg, and the price is definitely another grade.
While wandering around, I found the figure of Uncle Hu Er. He also came here. Could it be that there is no food at home?
Li Xiaoyu quietly followed him, wanting to see what he was going to buy?
Uncle Hu Er walked secretly in front, for fear of being seen, how did he know that Li Xiaoyu had already been eyeing him.
I saw Uncle Hu Er followed a few people running towards a man with a backpack. The man held the bag tightly in his arms and only opened one corner to show it.
Li Xiaoyu didn’t see what was inside, she glanced at it with her divine sense, and it was a bag of fine grain noodles.
Several people scrambled to buy, and Uncle Hu Er also bought some, but the number was not large. It seems that their family is also starting to lack food.
Li Xiaoyu did not step forward, turned around and left the black market. Taking off the hooded cloth, she carried the basket on her back and walked towards the town hall, touching the basket with her hand when she reached the door.
“呯呯”
“Who is it?” The second aunt’s voice came from the room, and there was a sound of small footsteps, and the door was opened.
“Second aunt, it’s me!”
“Little Yu’er, it’s so early, why is it you? Is there anything at home?” Li Ergu didn’t see the light of day, why is this child here?
“Second aunt, everything is fine at home, the old man asked me to bring you some food.” Li Xiaoyu put down the small backpack on her back, and took out the rice, eggs and rice noodles inside.
Li Ergu saw so many rare things, and was very moved by what the fourth brother did for her family.
“Little Yu’er, go back and thank your parents and tell them that Er Gu remembers their love.”
“Second aunt, it’s nothing!”
Li Xiaoyu took the initiative to talk to the second aunt about the supply of grain in the town, and learned that the supply of grain is now reduced.
The second aunt’s family has many children, and only two people’s wages support a large family. In the countryside, there are still two elderly people and a few brothers to help, and sometimes to help the comrades of Uncle Hu’s second uncle. There is not enough food to buy high-priced food, and the family is already stretched.
“Second aunt, in a situation like yours, is there a lot in town?”
“Why not many, most of my colleagues are like this, mainly because I can’t find a place to exchange food now.”
Li Xiaoyu is ready to go back and think about it. It is best to have the best of both worlds.
“Second aunt, give me the things you exchanged for me, whether to give you money or food. If you want food, I will bring it to you next time I come to town.”
“It’s best to have food. Now food is hard to find, so we need to prepare some at home.”
“Got it. Then I’m leaving!” When Li Xiaoyu left the house of the second aunt, he ran into the second uncle Hu who was returning.
“Hello Second Uncle!”
“Little Yu’er, why are you here?” Uncle Hu asked strangely, and Li Xiaoyu said to him, “It’s nothing, it’s just the family who asked me to come see you. Uncle Er, I’m leaving!”
Er Uncle Hu saw the back of her leaving and looked a little familiar, so he shook his head in a funny way, and went in and closed the door.
He saw several pockets on the table and asked, “Where did these things come from?”
“The fourth brother asked Xiao Yuer to bring it. What did you get in exchange?”
Er Uncle Hu handed the buns in his hand to Ergu Li. He looked at the eggs on the table and realized that these were not actually given by the fourth brother. It should be Li Xiaoyu’s child who recognized him in the black market.
“Keep the eggs and replace the rest with whole grains!”
“Let’s save some rice for the younger son. The child is still young and can’t eat coarse grains all the time.” Ergu Li said as she sorted out the things on the table, put them in the cabinet and locked them.
Li Xiaoyu went to Zhen Middle School and went directly to the playground to wait for his two brothers. When you see them, take out the food and food prepared for them from the basket.
“Second brother, you have to cheer up!” Li Xiaoyu clenched her fists at the second brother, and Li Chengji followed the younger sister’s way and shouted, “Come on!”
“Second brother, third brother, I’m back, I’ll be there during the final exam.”
Li Xiaoyu separated from his two brothers and went straight to Banzhulin. When he entered the courtyard, he ran into Li’s father who was pushing a bicycle out the door.
“Old man, I’m back!”
Father Li saw that his little daughter came back so soon, he finally let go of his heart and could go to work with confidence. He rode his bicycle and left quickly.
In early July, Li Xiaoyu went to school to take the final exam, and Li Chengji went with her.
Now Li Chengji has time to look at her, as long as Li Xiaoyu leaves Banzhulin, he will be with her and see her firmly, for fear that she will make a mistake.
“Second brother, let’s go there early, this time we want to deal with Wang Tietou.”
“Then hurry up.”
The brothers and sisters went directly to Pingtan Village. Li Xiaoyu carefully checked the surroundings with her spiritual sense, but found no one.
Release the items to be traded this time from the space: bales of grain, ten baskets of eggs, a slaughtered fat pig, and a hundred fish.
The two brothers and sisters did not leave the house, and Li Xiaoyu kept paying attention to the door of the small courtyard with her divine sense.
I saw a Jiefang car approaching, and four people got out of the car, it was Wang Tietou who was carrying a small box and his two men.
Thank you for your support! Hope to get more support from you! It is the first time to write an article, and there are many shortcomings. I will definitely work hard to do better!
