But the conditions in the northwest are really bad. If you rely on regular channels, there is no way to get grain, and it is even more difficult to get refined grain.
So he could only try his luck in the black market, and if he could buy some refined grains, he could also feed his daughter-in-law.
Whether it is for the wife or the children, it is good!
It's just that food is not easy to buy on the black market.
He has been running on the black market for two days, but only bought two catties of cornmeal.
On the northwest side, where conditions are harsh and materials are scarce, cornmeal can be classified as refined grains.
As soon as Zhao Xiulan asked him if he wanted refined grains, the man instantly felt like a pie had fallen from the sky, nodded without hesitation, and said to Zhao Xiulan, "Yes, yes!"
Regardless of the price, even very expensive men want it!
"That's fine, let's find a place where no one is there to trade!" Zhao Xiulan whispered in the man's ear.
Zhao Xiulan left first, followed by the man.
The two were one after the other, and they didn't attract anyone's attention.
When they got to an empty alley, Zhao Xiulan took out the food.
After opening the back, the man saw that there was white flour and rice in Zhao Xiulan's back basket, and he was suddenly excited.
"My God, Fuqiang Fan Rice, can you sell all these to me?"
The man asked Zhao Xiulan in disbelief, with an exaggerated expression on his face.
As soon as Zhao Xiulan heard what the man said, she figured out how deficient the supplies in the northwest were, which seemed to be much more serious than she had imagined.
Zhao Xiulan nodded and said, "Well, I have a total of five catties of Fuqiang powder and five catties of rice. If you buy it, I can give it to you!"
In fact, Zhao Xiulan could have sold more, but she was afraid that she would sell too much at once and cause suspicion.
If this is better in Anxian, the conditions there are much better than those in the northwest, and you can sell a little more at one time.
But the refined grains in the northwest are really in short supply. It is exaggerated to take out ten kilograms of refined grains like her, let alone take out more at one time.
Making money or not is a trivial matter, but it is not worth it if someone is staring at it!
So Zhao Xiulan intends to take it easy, and it's a big deal to make a few more transactions, and absolutely can't sell a lot at one time.
Even if it was ten catties of refined grain, the man was overjoyed when he heard it.
If he saves it and feeds all his daughter-in-law alone, he can last for a while.
At that time, he will think of a way to dump some refined grains on the black market.
"Okay, comrade, I want it all, you sell it to me! This price is"
Zhao Xiulan thought about it, considering the extreme shortage of refined grains in the northwest, the price must be higher.
So Zhao Xiulan raised a little price, "Give me five yuan for a pound of refined grains, plus half a catty of food stamps!"
The man heard the price reported by Zhao Xiulan and felt that it was not too high, it was the same price as the cornmeal he bought.
But cornmeal is definitely not as good as Fuqiang and rice!
"Okay, okay, comrade, I have fifty dollars, but I don't have that much money on me now, and I don't have food stamps, can you come back with me, wait for me outside my house, and I'll get it for you Money and tickets?"
The man has been to the black market several times. He knows that buying refined grains is not easy, so he didn't think that he could buy so much refined grains at once, and he didn't bring so much money and tickets with him.
Who would have known that luck was so good today that he had met a great savior who could sell him so much refined grain.
