94. Little Happiness in the Seventies (08)
After walking for almost two or three hours, the two talents finally came to the town.
"Let's go, let's find a place to rest first!" After walking all the way, Lu Feng was really tired, thinking that Yu Xiaonan should be more tired than him, so he directly led him into the nearest state-run hotel.
It is said to be a state-run restaurant, but in fact it is about the size of a fly restaurant in later generations. It is about 20 square meters, with seven or eight round countertops, plus hard wooden stools. There is a small blackboard hanging at the door, with a few supplies today. dishes.
Because of the delay on the way, the restaurant was almost closed when they arrived. When the waiter saw them coming in, the old man with his face pulled, obviously did not welcome them very much.
"What to eat?" The waitress aunt sat in an empty seat at the door, nibbling on melon seeds, and raised her eyelids in their direction.
Lu Feng was obviously very used to the attitude of the waiter in a state-run restaurant, so he said without hesitation, "Two servings of pork and cabbage dumplings, please."
The waitress aunt pointed to the price on the blackboard and motioned him to pay, not only money but also food stamps and meat stamps.
Without saying a word, Lu Feng began to pay for the ticket. Jiang Mo hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, don't buy it for me! I'm not hungry!"
"It's rare to invite you to eat dumplings. If you don't eat them, I won't dare to go to your house for dinner in the future."
For his sake, Jiang Mo could no longer refuse, so the two found an empty seat and sat down.
Soon, the waiter brought two big bowls of dumplings, all of them white and fat, and they smelled very fragrant.
At this time, the quality of the food in the state-run restaurant is absolutely guaranteed. There is no such thing as shoddy, so the dumplings are also full of weight. Although the taste is definitely not as good as what he made himself, it is not good. Forget it, the two of them ate a round belly before leaving the restaurant.
After eating and drinking, Lu Feng took Jiang Mo to stroll around the town. After all, Jiang Mo was here for the first time, and he didn't know many places. The post office, bank, supply and marketing cooperative and other places had better be recognized.
After walking around, the two of them came to a relatively remote alley in a wandering attitude. The alley looks inconspicuous, and it is deserted from the entrance of the alley, but when you walk in, you will find that there is something special inside.
This alley is very long, with several small forks in it, leading in all directions. Many people squatted at those fork in the road, or held a cloth bag in their arms, or put a bamboo basket on the ground, in short, it was convenient to run away at any time.
Lu Feng led him inside, and said to him in a low voice, "This black market is relatively close to the steel mill, and most of the people who come to buy things here are workers who work in the steel mill. No worries about selling here.β
Jiang Mo nodded again and again, and said in a low voice, "What should I do next?"
Lu Feng showed a proud smile, "Look at me."
The two found an empty seat and squatted down. Lu Feng asked Jiang Mo to take out his small clay pot with pickles, and then ran to talk to a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat standing against the wall in the alley. It didn't take long for that person to come along with Lu Feng.
He looked at the unremarkable little clay pot, smelled the kimchi inside, and said, "How do you sell this kimchi?"

Although Jiang Mo didn't know why, he still offered a suitable price, "One yuan per jar."
"It's just pickled radish strips, isn't this a bit expensive?" The man frowned.
"Brother, don't think this is just a radish stick, but it's very crunchy and delicious, why don't you try it?"
The man casually twisted a radish stick into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and the expression on his face changed.
"Anise, I want these two jars." His hometown is from the southwest, and he likes sour and spicy. This jar of radish sticks is refreshing and appetizing. It is the best kimchi he has ever eaten. to his taste.
Jiang Mo's offer had already left room for the guests to bargain, and after a little consideration, he agreed.
The man took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which contained a pile of scraps and a lot of tickets. Obviously, he was a bad guy who sold tickets.
"Brother, look at other things. This kumquat lemon jam is also very good. You can drink it in water. It is much better than brown sugar water. Take it back to your wife and children to try it!"
"Oh?" The man showed a suspicious look, and then he dipped a little to taste it. Sure enough, he was attracted by the fresh and sweet taste. "How do you sell this?"
"Two yuan a jar."
This time, this person didn't bargain. Fruits and sugar are relatively expensive at this time. The taste of this jar of jam is so rich and sweet, obviously the ingredients will not be less, so the price is still very suitable.
In just a few minutes, Jiang Mo sold several jars, earning five yuan and sixty cents, which was equivalent to the work points he earned by working in the field for more than two months.
"Huh? And a straw hat? How to sell it?" The man saw the straw in the basket.
"Two cents a piece." They were all made of straw, and they were not worth much. They were all made by the original owner before, and they probably wanted to save up to exchange money. Jiang Mo decorated it with flowers to make it more delicate. Some, so as not to waste the original owner's will.
"Okay, I'll have it all." The number of people counted, there were eight pieces of straw weaving in total, and they happily paid.
In just a few minutes, Jiang Mo sold all the jars and straw weaving, earning seven yuan and two cents, which was equivalent to the work points he earned by working in the field for more than three months.
Jiang Mo took out another three yuan, exchanged some meat tickets and food tickets with the poor man, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat and flour to take back. Before he went out today, he made corn tortillas and roasted sweet potatoes for the family, and kept them warm in a pot with a small fire. He could barely handle the lunch meal, and of course he had to give them a better meal in the evening.
Now that he can make money, Jiang Mo certainly doesn't want the Yu family to continue to live a hard life like in the past, let the family eat more good things, and make up for the deficient body.
In addition, he also bought some new clay pots. The kimchi is very easy to sell. All the materials used are produced in space, which means that there is no cost. He does not intend to give up such a good business.
On the way back, he learned from Lu Feng's mouth that the old man was surnamed Wu, and he was a local snake in that area. Not all the things he bought from them were for his own use, and many were given as gifts or resold. Many people will choose to sell things to him cheaper, convenient and safe.
Lu Feng often trades meat tickets in the hands of this Angkor, so he can be regarded as half an acquaintance.
Jiang Mo couldn't help but thank him again, and warmly invited him to bring Mu Hong to his house for dinner tonight.
Lu Feng was not polite and agreed directly.
When Jiang Mo and the others returned to Xiaohe Village, it was almost four or five o'clock. The villagers were still in the fields and did not work, so Jiang Mo went home directly.
"Brother!" When he got home, he received a warm welcome from his own Xiaodouding.
"Xiaoxi misses brother?" Jiang Mo picked up the little guy and kissed him on the cheek, making the child giggled.
"I miss my brother!" the child answered loudly.
"Good, go pick some greens, cucumbers and tomatoes in the field, and come back, my brother will cook something delicious for you in the evening."
"Okay! It's delicious!" Xiaodouding cheered and ran out with his short legs.
Jiang Mo smiled and shook his head, carried his things into the kitchen, and started to get busy.
He didn't plan to make too complicated the dishes in the evening. One fried noodles as the main course, another one with garlic white meat and one tomato egg soup would be enough. He plans to make braised pork with the rest of the meat, and plans to sell it in the town in a few days.
When Mu Hong and Lu Feng came, they didn't have empty hands. They brought a pound of cornmeal. Even if it was enough to cover their food bills, after all, the Yu family was in too much trouble. How could the two big men be so embarrassed to eat for nothing? drink.
Dad Yu and Grandma Yu are still eating in the room. Dad Yu has limited mobility, and Grandma Yu is too tired. It is much easier to eat directly on a small table on the bed.
Jiang Mo, Yu Xiaoxi, Mu Hong, and Lu Feng were still eating in the room of the Yu family brothers. A bowl of fried sauce noodles was fragrant, and the smell alone made one's index fingers move. The white noodles were deep and deep. The brown fried sauce, with the addition of fresh shredded carrots and cucumbers, makes the color look even more dazzling.
The garlic white meat is also excellent, the red seasoning is wrapped on the white meat slices, and the red and white match very well. The taste level is also very rich, not only with spicy, garlic flavor but also a touch of sweetness, it just feels full of fragrance.
Even the seemingly ordinary tomato egg soup is extremely delicious. The combination of the original sweet and sour taste of tomato and the fragrance of eggs makes people want to drink it.
After eating, Mu Hong and Lu Feng took the initiative to do the dishes and pots, so that the little brothers could rest.
"Where did the meat and white noodles come from? Why did you take Xiao Nan to the town today?" Mu Hong asked Lu Feng in a low voice.
Lu Feng knew that Mu Hong was sensitive to policies and regulations because both of his parents were forced to reform through labor. When he went to the black market to exchange tickets, Mu Hong often talked about him, so he didn't dare to take him with Yu Xiaonan. Tell each other about going to the black market.
But now Mu Hong had obviously noticed it, and seeing that he couldn't hide it, he had to tell him what happened today.
"How did you take him to that kind of place?! You know how dangerous it is? He's still so young!" Mu Hong's reaction was really big, and he didn't agree with Lu Feng's behavior.
"You don't even look at the current situation of the Yu family. It's not like you didn't see the empty rice vat. If I don't help him, do you think they can survive the end of the year?" Lu Feng patted his good brother. On his shoulders, he said, "The timid starved to death, and the courageous to the death. Xiao Nan's craftsmanship is so good, he will definitely not worry about selling the things he makes. I introduced Angkor to him, and Angkor is willing to accept his things, definitely better than him. Itβs much safer to sell outside, so donβt worry.β
Mu Hong had nothing to say, so he had to acquiesce.
