Chapter 100 Reselling
Hou Tou buried his head and saw a pair of feet standing in front of the stall. He was making a quotation. Then he heard a "doo" and another basket fell in front of the stall. It sounded heavy and it seemed to contain a lot of things.
The monkey raised his head and looked up, and immediately smiled like a flower, "Hey! I'll move over here, you stand on my side!"
If it’s not the young man he chatted with just now, then who is it?
Although I didn't sell many things today, I got two cents for free for allocating a small piece of land. The monkey head felt so happy. He turned to look at Si Ningning, his dark face wrinkled into black chrysanthemums with a smile, "You I haven’t said anything yet, what are you selling?”
Si Ningning didn't answer. She squatted down beside the monkey head and asked, "Are there any extra sacks? I didn't bring any."
"Sacks and sacks, you are so polite in your explanation. Ours is not called a sack, it is called a snakeskin bag." Houtou took an old snakeskin bag from the basket behind him and handed it to Si Ningning. After Si Ningning laid it out, he asked again: "You're not from the town, are you? Are you from the county?"
After a pause, Houtou suddenly lowered his voice and approached Si Ningning, "You are not an educated youth, are you?"
Si Ningning shook her hands, pretending to be calm and rolled her eyes, "Does this have anything to do with my reselling? If you keep talking like that, give me back your two cents."
Houtou immediately closed his pocket, shut up and retreated to his position.
joke! How can there be any reason to return the money collected?
With her ears clear, Si Ningning took out the things in the box, but not all.
He tied the egg noodles with inch-wide paper and took out three small bundles, two military kettles, and a small bag of snow-white, plump rice.
Egg noodles are bagged noodles that I bought before I opened the store. One bag is 1500g, and there are 10 bundles in one bag.
Rice is native rice. Si Ningning chose these items to make sure that the food would be easy to sell.
This is indeed the case. As soon as these three things were taken out, not to mention the pedestrians on the road, the eyes of the monkey on the side widened first, and he squatted over as if to touch the snow-white noodles and rice. Si Ningning noticed halfway, Clap it away with one hand.
Houtou was embarrassed to touch his nose and asked in a low voice: "Brother, where did you get this whole thing? It cost a lot of money, didn't it? Don't discount it."
Houtou’s words are not jealous.
Flour and rice are divided into grades, and different grades have different prices, but even the most expensive price cannot buy the rice that Si Ningning brought out.
If you pay a high price for it and sell it on the black market, it will exceed the black market price by too much and no one will buy it. If you sell it at the black market price, you will not lose money, but the profit will be reduced, so it is not worth it.
After all, we are still facing the risk of being paraded in the streets and being shot.
The price of rice, grain and meat, which is free of tickets, has always been among the best in the black market. It is basically sold at double the price. Si Ningning asked around and found that rice can be purchased for 17 cents per catty at the grain and oil station with tickets.
Floors are divided into grades. The best flour is priced at the same price as rice, which is as low as 1.12 cents. Occasionally, when encountering special circumstances in terms of food, the price will rise by two cents.
For example, when food is in short supply, or during major festivals such as New Year's Day.
The price of rice on the black market is 40 to 50 cents per catty. The best flour among flours, Fuqiang Flour, is also priced at the same price. Others are around 30 cents, and all are free of charge.
Si Ningning was not greedy, and pointed to the rice noodles on the stall and explained to Hericium, "Rice is fifty cents per pound, and the noodles are fine...Fuqiang pink and egg noodles, so they are more expensive. A bundle of three taels sells for two cents."
In an era when there was not enough to eat or clothing to keep warm, rice was a good thing, not to mention it was of such good quality...
