Rebirth after the 1950s

Chapter 160 Eggs are sold in the market

Instead, he chose to face the current life positively, and he felt half relieved. As long as he thought about living, it would be better than anything else.

Instead of returning to the hotel in the town, he rode directly to the city. He planned to buy the earliest train tomorrow and then walk around the city to see if there was any chance to sell the eggs in the space.

After Shen Bowen watched him leave, he quietly put the wild vegetables and other things placed next to the sack into a backpack and took them back.

At the foot of the mountain were some half-year-old children from the production team who were hunting hogweed because their elders had told them not to interact with people in the cowshed. When these children saw Shen Bowen, they didn't even notice. Won't say hello to him.

When Zhou Tao saw Shen Bowen coming back, he stepped forward and asked softly: "Why are you back, Mianmian?"

"I'm back, let's go in and talk"

"Then you eat first and talk while eating."

"Okay" Just like that, Shen Bowen took advantage of the meal time to basically tell what he said after seeing Mianmian, and also said:

"Because I didn't have much time, I didn't have time to talk to her about some things in detail, but she brought a lot of things. When it gets dark at night when no one is around, I will take them back secretly, and we must hide them. of.

It's okay for just the two of us to live in this cowshed now. In case someone comes one day, we have to put things away. I've heard from Mian Mian that there are medicines and other things prepared for us in it. Maybe we can be saved at some time. What about one life?But you have to hide it and don’t take it out unless absolutely necessary.”

"I know this, but where can I hide it? Our house is so big."

"I told Mianmian that we would secretly dig a cellar in our house, so after we get the things back, we will dig a cellar in the house."

"Is this possible? Won't others find out as soon as they come in?"

"Don't worry, I've already figured out where to dig on the way back."

"where?"

"Under the kang"

"Ah, what will happen to the kang then! Can you build a kang?"

"Don't tell me, I really know how to do it. When we were liberating Northeast China, I saw how the fellow villagers built this kang."

"That's good"

"I'm just going to give you a hard time after digging the kang. It's cold here at night, so I can only sleep on the ground."

"It's okay. Didn't you see that there are so many dried pigweeds in the warehouse? Then you can just grab some and spread them on the ground. Isn't that how you used to come here when you were marching in a hurry?"

"That's okay, the time is up, let's get to work quickly, otherwise it will be difficult for the team leader to do it by then." Shen Bowen wanted to say something else, but when he heard the call to work, he remembered it and said quickly

"it is good"

I rode my bike to the city, found a place to disguise myself, and pretended to be a rural female comrade. I hid from the people who were searching everywhere, and walked around the city, and found that there was one not far from the municipal government unit. black market.

Instead of rushing there, we went to the train station to buy a ticket back to Fusong County first.After buying the tickets, I went to the black market. I saw two comrades standing guard at the entrance and said, "I have a batch of goods in hand. I want to see the person in charge here."

"What kind of goods"

"Is that what you should ask?"

"Oh, right"

"Wait a moment, I'll go right away"

He came back after a while and said, "Our boss wants to see you."

"Okay, lead the way."

"please"

Just like that, we went in. There was a large yard inside, and there were some people selling things in front. Everyone's voice was very low, and their expressions were very nervous.I know these people are still afraid that someone will suddenly come to check.

When he arrived at the door of a house, the person leading him said, "Go in."

"Okay, thank you"

After entering the house, I saw a man in his thirties and asked, "Are you the person who Huzi mentioned just now is selling the goods?"

"It's not about selling goods, it's about selling goods on behalf of my master."

"Oh, I don't know what your comrade's name is and what kind of goods he sells."

"Now that your surname is Liu, you can just call me Comrade Liu. My master has a batch of eggs in his hand. I wonder if you can eat them."

"how many"

"6000"

I was really thinking in my heart that there are people checking everywhere now, and my people have no way to go to the countryside, or the country people simply don’t dare to sneak into the city to sell. How can I save some eggs, so I said: "Okay, I'll take both, just tell me the price."

"2 cents each"

"This won't work. Not to mention the risks I take, let's just say that there are people searching everywhere now, and it's hard for me to take action myself."

"Just because it's hard to sell, eggs are a hot commodity right now. If you can't sell them, can't you give them away?"

“That’s true, but can the price be lower?”

"Okay, the lowest price I can make is 2 cents and 2 cents each. Do you accept it? Let's do it. What if you can't accept it? Just pretend I haven't been here today."

"Comrade Liu, do you have something to say slowly?

I haven't introduced myself yet?My surname is Geng, and my name is Geng Qiubo. It seems that I am older than you, so you can just call me Brother Geng.

I accept the price you just mentioned, but I don’t know where and when I can get it.”

"How about four o'clock tomorrow morning, under the bridge not far from the train station?"

"Okay, but I don't know if Comrade Liu wants money or votes."

"I want money, not tickets. My master will be leaving Tongshi soon. Forget about the tickets. He won't be able to use them with him. By the way, do you have national food here?"

"Yes, how much do you want?"

"Prepare 100 kilograms of national grain for me, and give me votes for the rest."

"it is good"

"See you tomorrow then"

"See you tomorrow"

Now that everything has been arranged, I don't plan to stay in a hotel. Instead, after leaving the black market, I go straight to the bridge I just mentioned. After observing that place for a while, I feel that this place is good anyway, and sending it will not cause other people to worry. Note that there would not be too many people hiding nearby and left. We went directly to the state-owned hotel near the train station to have a meal, and then went to the train waiting room to sit.

Wearing a military coat, he sat on a bench and slept for a while. After the clock in the waiting room rang three times, he quickly woke himself up.

After going to the toilet for a while, I washed my face and went to the other side of the bridge in advance. After observing the area for a while, I found no one else, so I quickly took out the eggs from the space under the bridge.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I saw Geng Qiubo coming with his people, so he said, "The eggs are under the bridge. Let your people light them."

"Okay, Huzi, you go with two people."

"Yes"

About 10 minutes later, I heard: "Brother, that's right, there are 6000 eggs."

"Okay, Comrade Liu, here are 20 5-pound national food stamps. After deducting the money from the food stamps, there is still 1077 yuan. I will give you 1080 yuan and treat it as a friend."
