Xie Xiaohui took out the ticket he brought with him from his pocket and said, "I want half a catty of brown sugar."
"There is no more brown sugar. We only have white sugar now. Half a pound of white sugar costs 4 cents and 1 cent. Do you want it?" Seeing the sugar stamps that Xie Xiaohui took out, the salesperson's face looked much better.
"Yes." Xie Xiaohui handed the candy ticket to the salesperson. No matter what kind of candy, he had to buy it first. Besides, he didn't have much hope of buying brown sugar. He just thought about what if it happened?
Now that he can't buy brown sugar, he isn't too disappointed.
While the salesperson was filling him with candies, Xie Xiaohui complained to Zhang Yu: "I've been here several times and I haven't bought any brown sugar. I don't know when the supply and marketing cooperative will buy brown sugar?"
"I can't help it. Our supply and marketing cooperative has allocated less brown sugar this year, and it's not a coincidence that you came here." After hearing Xie Xiaohui's words, the salesperson seemed to have wondered who he was, sighed, and then replied.
There is no way, the supply of brown sugar is already small, they will buy some as soon as it is available, and then leave some for their relatives and friends, wouldn't there be too much left?
This was still too little for her. In order not to cause turmoil, they did not dare to leave too much, for fear that some people would think that they had left all the brown sugar, and someone would make trouble as time went on.
Xie Xiaohui just smiled at the salesperson's words but did not answer. Obviously he also knew what was going on.
I just took out my money and tickets and bought the salt, soy sauce, and matches that my family told me.
Then he looked at Zhang Yu next to him, turned around and asked for two kilograms of walnut cakes.
At this time, Zhang Yu had seen enough, and through his observations in the past few days, he also knew that his grandfather's family did not have much food.
Although thanks to the shrewdness of the family, they also stocked up a batch of food, there probably isn't much left after eating it now.
In addition, one more person came over, and he had to eat one more person's rations every day, so the food supply went faster.
Moreover, in the eyes of the world, the Xie family was completely bankrupt and had no choice but to return to their hometown.
The Xie family has finally smoothed over their past and will never destroy it just because of a little difficulty.
Two days ago, he heard his grandma and grandpa discussing what they should give in exchange for food.
Thinking of this, he patted Xie Xiaohui beside him and said, "I seemed to have seen an acquaintance just now. I'm going to say hello. You can buy something here first."
"I will go with you?"
"No, no, no, I'm such a big man, I can't lose it."
After listening to Zhang Yu's words, Xie Xiaohui didn't say anything more. Besides, he actually had some things to do. If Zhang Yu could see it, could he not see it?
When he came to town this time, he also wanted to ask his friend who worked at the grain station to see if he could sell him some grain.
"Okay, I have something to do later, so I'll wait for you at the entrance of the state-owned hotel."
"Okay, I'll go there and wait for you after I say hello."
After saying that, Zhang Yu wandered around to find a deserted place, found a beetroot from the space, and put two pieces of bacon, some sausages, and a small jar of five kilograms of oil in it, 50 kilograms.
Rice.
Speaking of this rice, it was hard-won. In order to grow this rice, he spent two months transforming three acres of paddy fields in the space.
Even though it is only a transformation using consciousness, it is still very tiring, and the feeling of being drained of consciousness is not much easier than working for a day.
After the rice was planted, in order to remove the hulls, Zhang Yu even hired someone to build a stone mill for him to grind the rice into rice bit by bit.
Compared with the rice he got from the system, the rice was a little rougher. Some of the rice still had chaff on it and was mixed with some broken rice.
But I have to say that the rice he made himself is more in line with this era and can be presented more openly.
The 50 kilograms of rice that Zhang Yu brought out this time was this kind.
In addition, there is a pig in the secret space that has grown up and should be killed. Use your consciousness to control the secret space to kill the pig. Because it is fed pure grain and various vegetables, there is no use at all. In addition, Zhang Yu
The pig was fed well and fed a lot of food. This pig had five fingers of fat, and the whole pig was seventy fat and three thin.
In the eyes of people of this era, this is probably the best pork, but in Zhang Yu's eyes, it is a bit fat.
But Zhang Yu thought that the Xie family must prefer fat meat to lean meat. At least it can replenish oil and water, which is a complete win.
Cut five pounds of suet and five pounds of pork belly from this pig.
Just when he thought everything was done and was about to go to the door of the state-owned hotel, he was stopped by an old woman.
"Young man, young man, don't leave yet, wait for me, wait for me."
"Auntie, what's the matter with you?" Zhang Yu asked with some vigilance. He remembered that when he took out something from the secret space just now, he carefully observed it for a long time to make sure that there was no one around.
Someone saw it.
So what did the old woman who called him want to do?
Seeing Zhang Yu's vigilance, the old woman quickly said: "Young man, I see you are carrying a lot of things, can you give me some, and I will give you money." Then she opened the handkerchief in her hand.
, a thick wad of money was displayed in front of Zhang Yu.
Then he explained: "I just saw that you went in empty-handed, and now you come out carrying a big backpack, and the shoulder straps are almost cut into your flesh, so there must be a lot of things inside.
Can you give me some in exchange? According to the highest price."
Only then did Zhang Yu understand where he had exposed his flaw.
It seems that we need to pay more attention in the future. People in this era are just exposed to less information, which does not mean they are unsmart.
And some people have lived for most of their lives, and the life wisdom they have accumulated cannot be underestimated.
Looking at the old woman's longing eyes, Zhang Yu was also afraid that she would not be able to buy anything from him, so he turned around and reported him.
Although I feel that I have a secret space, if I throw my things into the secret space, no one will be able to find it no matter how much I check.
But this will bring trouble to the Xie family and expose the Xie family to the public.
"What price can you offer?" Zhang Yu also wanted to know how high the price of food on the black market has risen.
"Are you going to sell it to me?" the old woman asked in surprise. She came to ask Zhang Yu, but she just wanted to give it a try and was not sure whether Zhang Yu would sell it to her.
But she is really short of food now, and she may not let go of it at all.
"I'll give you the highest price on the black market, which is 1.5 yuan for coarse grains and 4 yuan for fine grains. If you sell more, can I give you 5 cents more per pound?"
The old woman's words shocked Zhang Yu. When he came from Beijing, he also bought a batch of grain, and that batch of fine grains only cost 3 yuan.
