I lost my job and I still have to eat!

Xu Xiangyang sat up with a carp, and he should eat and drink, and walked up from the cafeteria.

Thinking about how many days before the New Year, he was going to sell things in the city for two days.

Last time I found out that I didn’t have time to go to the black market, and this time I didn’t have time to work, so I have time.

The food in the cafeteria is still full of food, with a hot mist.

The food here can be replenished automatically, which is quite good, at least you don’t have to cook anymore!

Xu Xiangyang knows how to cook, but he thinks it’s troublesome. He usually eats in the cafeteria for busy work and rarely cooks by himself.

I cooked some meat and vegetables and served four taels of rice.

Since doing physical work, his appetite has increased sharply and he obviously feels that his body is strong, so he should be practicing muscles.

A good night's sleep.

The next morning, Xu Xiangyang got up and cleaned up, went to the port to prepare things.

Nowadays, materials are in short supply, and everything you take out is very easy to sell.

He checked the container and found some frozen pork, one of which was two pounds.

Pork belly is the best seller, so he gets this kind of meat.

I went to find a basket with a few pieces of meat and a few kilograms of eggs in it, and covered it with a thick cloth.

Although he didn't prepare much, as long as others didn't know what was inside, he would take it out again.

After leaving the space, the cold wind blew over the face.

Xu Xiangyang shivered suddenly and tightened his cotton jacket.

Fortunately, he was wearing thermal underwear inside, otherwise he would have to freeze into popsicles.

When he came to the black market he had inquired about before, Xu Xiangyang did not sell it immediately with his things on his back, but prepared to see the situation first.

I don’t know what the market price is. What if I sell it cheaply? What if it is expensive?

After a while, Xu Xiangyang learned about the approximate price.

Pork costs one pound per pound, no meat tickets. White flour costs 50 cents per pound, no tickets either.

There are other things. Anyway, there are no tickets in the black market, so if you give them a ticket, you will get some extra money.

Usually, pork in a side dish restaurant costs 70 cents per pound, but meat tickets are needed. If you don’t need tickets here, it’s more expensive.

This is understandable. After all, the supply of monthly tickets is limited. If you don’t make money, who will still buy and sell here? What’s the point?

Xu Xiangyang saw an old man wandering around for a long time and frowned when he kept looking at things.

He leaned over, touched the old man gently with his arm, and whispered: "Man, I have something here, let's take a look?"

The old man glanced at him, and although he had no hope, he still left with him.

Seeing that no one around was paying attention to them, Xu Xiangyang put the basket on the ground and opened the lid on it.

Inside are a few pieces of frozen pork belly and a few small red Fuji apples.

He put the eggs away when he was on the road. After all, it was over minus 20 degrees below zero in winter. If it was left outside for a long time, it would definitely be frozen, and it would be in vain if it was frozen.

"Oh, such a good meat!" When the old man saw this good-quality meat, he couldn't help but exclaim.

The meat he saw just now was frozen for a long time and the appearance had been air-dried.

Meat is meat, but it is definitely not as delicious as this.

Xu Xiangyang knew that his family was in good condition when he saw him wearing it, and he just thought that things were not good-looking, so he must be the one who was not short of money.

"Men, is this meat good?" He said with a smile.

The old man nodded in agreement. With this attitude, he could not speak lies with his eyes open.

He asked with his eyes narrowed, "It's pretty good, how much?"

Good things must also have a price, who doesn’t know?

Xu Xiangyang laughed and replied in a low voice: "One piece, three, don't have a ticket."

He has seen all other people's pork, which is not of good quality, either dry or bloody.

Anyway, he hasn't found anything like this, so it doesn't matter if the things are expensive.

The old man hesitated for a moment and finally ordered two pounds. He usually can't touch the good meat except in the side dish restaurant.

This time I met, I had to buy two pounds.

Xu Xiangyang used the old meter in the cafeteria to weigh him, and he had weighed him before he came, so there was no problem.

The people on the side had already heard the old man say "so good meat", so they all gathered here.

When the old man finished buying it, the others also bought it. Just one pound of two pounds per to persuade many people to give up.

After all, this is the first time Xu Xiangyang has done this business in this era and has no experience.

I bought ten kilograms of meat but only five portions. Some people even said that he had cut it and came here to buy meat tomorrow.

Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded in agreement. He was not very strict yet. After the New Year, these businesses will have to be careful.

Back at the old place and entering the space, he counted what he had gained today.

It costs 500 cents, and there are many fragmentary tickets.

No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. In addition, the previous salary is also sold for honey, meat, etc., and there are also small deposits of more than 20 yuan.

Although these twenty or so years are not allowed to drink even when I have had a meal of spicy hot pot in later generations, it is enough for a family of five to eat for a month now.

Of course, you have to have tickets. If you eat things from the black market, you will probably not be able to live in the end of the month and spend them.

After collecting the money, Xu Xiangyang rested after dinner.

As for other things, he hasn't decided yet. Now he has no work, so he has to be more decent when he goes back.

In fact, Xu Xiangyang wanted to lie and deceive the Xu Guangtian and his wife, but his job was still there.

But my grandfather couldn't cheat him. He was introducing his job. If he was opened here, there would definitely be news from him.

As for how long I won’t know, I will definitely know anyway, so the idea of ​​lying will definitely not work.

After preparing for it, he went to bed directly. He had to go to the black market tomorrow, otherwise he would not have many excuses to come here often when he got home.

The next morning, Xu Xiangyang got up and had breakfast, carried some meat and frozen fish, and went directly to the black market.

It was just dawn and it was still very cold outside.

I bought a pound of meat yesterday, but this time he separated several pieces of pounds.

After noon, Xu Xiangyang went back with the money.

This time he went for two or three times, so he sold a lot of things.

And he noticed that someone was staring at him, but there were many people here and no one would do anything.

People these days are not good at it. He cautiously avoided people and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

There were many people inside, so he quickly changed into a cotton jacket and went out with a new hat.

I didn't notice him before, and people came and went here, so who would have noticed that he had changed his clothes?

Xu Xiangyang returned to his old place and did not plan to go again this time.

He was alone. If something happened, it would be impossible to beat four hands with two fists.

To be on the safe side, he decided to go home tomorrow and stop staying here.

Going home early can also reassure the couple.
Chapter completed!
