Chapter 111 Little Yellow Fish
"Well, don't worry, everyone, there's still a lot of meat left!" Li Wen found an open space and put down his backpack and said.
"Everyone, please keep your voice down, line up, and don't make it too chaotic." At this time, the managers of the black market also came out to maintain order.
"Little brother, I have five kilograms of national fine grain stamps in my hand. How can I exchange them?" the man at the front said with a smile.
"The national fine grain stamp is RMB 18 per kilogram, which is the official price on the black market. Is that okay?" Li Wen said with a slight smile.
"Okay, the price is very fair. I'll exchange it." The man nodded and handed the ticket to Li Wen.
Here are two kilograms of pork for you. After Li Wen settled the account, he took out two pieces of pork and handed them to the man.
"Little brother, I have a piece of jade in my hand. See what it's worth." At this time, a man took out a white jade pendant and handed it to Li Wen.
Li Wen used to be an e-commerce seller of jewelry and jade, so he had some experience. He took the jade and looked at it, then picked up the iron bar and knocked it. The sound was crisp, and the quality of the jade was pretty good.
"I will give you ten yuan at most for your jade. If you exchange it, I will accept it." Li Wen said lightly.
"Okay, ten yuan is ten yuan, and we can eat it in exchange for meat." The man thought for a moment and agreed.
"Here, here are two pounds of pork and one dollar of change." Li Wen handed the pork and change to the man.
In this era, ten yuan for a piece of jade pendant was quite a lot. Because it could not be eaten or drank, it was not easy to sell, so it could only be kept at home.
In the next twenty minutes, more than fifty kilograms of pork were sold out. Li Wen exchanged a lot of bills, including more than a dozen industrial coupons alone.
"The pork is completely gone. Please stop crowding around me." Li Wen said directly as he looked at the small group of people in front of him.
As soon as Li Wen opened his mouth, the crowd dispersed.
After selling the pork, Li Wen had some free time. Then he walked around the yard and learned about the recent prices.
"Little brother, walk slowly!"
As Li Wen was stepping into the backyard, a man in Chinese tunic came up and whispered to Li Wen.
"What's the matter?" Li Wen looked at the man and asked.
"Little brother, I see you have a lot of energy. Can you keep the little yellow croaker?" The man took out the little yellow croaker and shrank it in his arms for Li Wen to take a look.
Li Wen was overjoyed when he saw the gold. He couldn't find it without wearing iron shoes. It took no effort to get it! It was not in vain that he was so arrogant today.
The two came to an unoccupied corner of a room, and Li Wen said directly: "How much does it cost? Give me a real price. You also know the price of the pawn shop in the county, and the transaction risk is also high." Li Wen whispered.
"Forty-five yuan." The man thought for a moment and said a price he thought was appropriate.
"It's high, up to forty. If you agree, I'll take it. And I'll take as much as you have." Li Wen looked into the middle-aged man's eyes and said.
The weight of a small yellow croaker is about 31g. During this period, domestic gold prices were very low. Most people did not dare to go to pawn shops or banks to exchange money.
The price offered by Li Wen was one yuan three, which was already very high. When the event comes in four or five years, the price of gold will completely collapse and no one will dare to take it.
"Okay, forty is fine. I have three here. Half of them are exchanged for money and half are exchanged for coupons. If you want more grain stamps, you have to lower the coupon price." The man said in a low voice.
Li Wen took a piece of small yellow croaker and bit it lightly. He weighed it again, pressed his hand firmly, nodded slightly, and agreed to the deal.
"Here you are, here are sixty yuan, and a note worth sixty yuan." Li Wenshu took out the money and handed it to the man.
"Thank you, little brother!" The middle-aged man thanked Li Wen in a low tone.
"You're welcome. If you know anyone who wants to sell gold, you can contact me. I will buy it in large quantities.
"It is not safe to trade gold on the black market. You will be noticed after a long time. I will stay in the dilapidated house at the west gate of the city for an hour every Saturday at 11 o'clock. By then, if you have gold, you can come and trade." Li Wen
reminded in a low voice.
"You can also buy it from your friends. The price I will give you is still one yuan and three cents. I also buy silver, which is thirty cents per gram. You can use it if you feel it is appropriate." Li Wen mentioned it again.
young man.
Li Wen looked at the man's clothing, temperament and tone of voice, and knew that this man must be a capitalist. Nowadays, most rich peasants, landowners and capitalists are very low-key. They know that this is not their era.
These people must have a lot of good things in their hands, and the rich people are all well-connected, so Li Wen took the risk to speak.
"Okay, I understand. I will go if there is something in stock." The middle-aged man responded in a low voice.
After completing the transaction with the middle-aged man, Li Wen walked into the backyard. There were many people trading grain in the backyard, and most of them were stalls owned by the black market.
Li Wen consulted about the price of grain. After the beginning of the new year, the country adjusted its policies and imported a lot of grain, so the price of grain has dropped a lot recently. However, compared with the past few years, the price of grain is still very high.
A pound of cornmeal dropped from 90 cents last year to 50 cents, which is still five times higher than the normal market price.
The spring plowing season has recently come, and many people are selling bean seeds. Li Wen discovered soybean seeds and sunflower seeds, which made him very excited. There were no soybeans planted in Li Wen's village last year, and Li Wen didn't want to get them.
Soybeans can be made into tofu, tofu curd and soy products. They are also high in protein and nutritious, and can be pressed into soybean oil. Soybeans are also used as military supplies and are used to feed military horses.
As for sunflower seeds, they are also a good thing. They are a national snack for Daxia people to entertain guests in their free time! You must know that in the 1970s and 1980s, the owner of Foolish Melon Seeds made millions by selling melon seeds.
Li Wen decided to plant more melon seeds, which were not eye-catching and had a good price.
After buying some seeds and crops that were not available in the space, Li Wen came to the stall selling bills.
The ticket seller was a young man in his twenties, who was not masked. It looked like a self-operated stall in the black market. Others did not have the courage.
"Hello, I want to buy some better tickets. What other tickets do you have?" Li Wen stepped forward and asked.
"Hey, isn't this the little brother who sold pork just now? Come and see, this is the stall with the widest variety of bills in the entire black market." Although Li Wen had his face covered, the young man still recognized Li Wen.
"I want national food stamps, industrial stamps and some better tickets, but I don't want the ones that expire soon." Li Wen said.
Notes also have expiration dates. Once they expire, they can only be used as pieces of paper. Li Wen was preparing to collect the notes, so it was useless to ask for those that were due to expire soon.
Brother, please come inside. It is safe to trade in our room. The young man closed the stall with a wave of his hand and took Li Wen to the room behind the stall.
The rooms also have no doors or windows, so you can see through them at a glance, so you don't have to worry about being hacked.
However, because the room is far away from the courtyard and relatively quiet, when doing large-volume transactions, you will pay 20 cents to enter the room, so that it will not be eye-catching.
When he came to the room, the young man put the cloth bag containing the tickets on a wooden box, and then began to take out the tickets inside. Li Wen also checked one by one and picked out the tickets he needed.
There are these bills in total. You can calculate how much they cost. If it suits me, I will take it. Li Wen spread out the three stacks of bills he picked out and asked the young man to evaluate them.
"You really want a lot, you have taken all the good tickets in my hand." The young man looked at the ticket and clicked his tongue.
Ten minutes later, the young man finally calculated the price of the bill.
