The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed twice, Lu Hai got up on tiptoe.

Afraid of disturbing Jiang Lanqing who was still sleeping.

Because we have to go to the county town today to sell all the loaches we caught yesterday, and the county town is more than 20 miles away from the village.

Therefore, in order to catch up with the city people buying vegetables in the morning, you naturally need to get up early.

Moreover, cars in this era are rare items. Apart from those big leaders, who can afford to ride in a car?

If an ordinary family has a bicycle, they are considered very wealthy in the eyes of others.

As for ox carts and horse carriages, they are all public property and you have to borrow them if you want to use them.

But given Lu Hai's current reputation, it is obviously impossible to borrow it.

So, Lu Hai had to get up early and rush over.

However, the distance is so far that the fish cannot be kept alive at all. Without oxygen rods, they have already become smelly by the time they reach the county town, which affects their sales.

I just kept them at home, dried the small fish in the sun, and kept the big fish for fish soup, steamed, etc...

So, this time, Lu Hai brought loaches, eels and other things with him.

However, the three baskets of loaches and eels weigh about 40 to 50 kilograms.

Carrying something for more than 20 miles is certainly not an easy task.

Moreover, these loaches and eels must be sold alive, and the price will definitely not be high if they are dead. Therefore, as they walk along the way, these loaches and eels have to be soaked in water, which makes the bags heavier and heavier. Lu Hai was so tired that he kept gasping for breath along the way.

However, Lu Hai did not feel like complaining. After all, that was the condition of the time. If his reputation had been a little better before, he could have borrowed an ox cart from the commune, but this was obviously not possible.

In other words, people of this era generally had better physical fitness. If it were modern times, if you were carrying 40 or 50 kilograms of things and walking more than 20 miles, you might really collapse from exhaustion.

Fortunately, after walking for about two or three hours, we arrived at the county town.

Lu Hai asked someone to inquire about the location of the black market, and then rushed towards it.

In this day and age when street vendors are still considered as speculation,

Although the policy has been relaxed a bit now, the authorities have turned a blind eye to street vendors. As long as you don't go too far, they won't bother you.

However, if you set up a stall on the street to sell things and people haven't arrested you yet, then you are too disrespectful to others. If they don't arrest you, who else will they arrest?

So, if you want to sell something, you can only go to the black market.

When we arrived at the black market, there were already some small vendors selling things in groups of three or four.

But there were just one or two snakeskin bags on the ground, filled with mountain products and the like. If the police came to catch them, they would just run away. For them, it would be a waste of energy at most.

If we get caught by the police, the loss will be huge.

As for the hawking sounds of street vendors in later generations, there will definitely not be any. After all, nowadays both the street vendors and the police are fighting a guerrilla war, so it is naturally impossible for them to be so high-profile.

Therefore, everyone squatted silently in front of their own things, waiting for those in need to come up and ask.

Their eyes are fixed on the entrance to the black market. As soon as the police appear, these people will go into the alley.

After Lu Hai arranged his loaches and eels, he also took out a pancake from his arms. This was specially prepared last night. After all, he had to get up early and travel such a long distance, so he would not be able to do without preparing some food.

When Lu Hai was about to take a bite, an older woman stood in front of him and asked, "How much is this loach?"

Several people nearby who were also selling loaches and eels were naturally a little envious when they saw that Lu Hai, who arrived later, had already attracted more business.

However, they did not feel jealous. After all, the loaches sold by Lu Hai looked much better than those they sold.

This is where Lu Hai’s cleverness lies. After all, there are many people setting up stalls in the black market, and there will naturally be people selling fish and other things. So, he always picks the particularly fat loaches and eels, and cleans them all.

The appearance alone must be better than others, which naturally makes it stand out from the crowd for these consumers.

"Sister, it's not expensive, just three cents. If you have food coupons or meat coupons, you can also exchange them."

This is how it is in this era. Sometimes these tickets are more important than money. After all, if you only have money, even if you enter the supply and marketing cooperative, people may not sell things to you.

In this day and age, you need a ticket to travel around the world!

"It's a bit expensive." The eldest sister frowned.

After all, pork is only 60 cents a pound on the black market now.

But this era was different from later generations. Only pork, beef and mutton were considered meat.

"Sister, the price is really not expensive. Look at how I present the products. I only pick the best ones to sell." Lu Hai said.

After all, when doing business, early capital accumulation is very important, especially in this era, every penny counts.

So even though she knew that the lady wanted to bargain, she still refused to give her a discount.

If one person comes and gets a discount, then you don't have to do it yourself.

The eldest sister looked at the loaches and eels from the other two families and found that those from Luhai were indeed much better.

If it looks good, it will at least taste much better.

"You are right. Give me four pounds first."

"Okay!" Lu Hai took the basket from his elder sister with a smile, and then weighed it on the scale. "Sister, your basket weighs five taels. I'll weigh it for you."

As he said this, he showed the weight to his elder sister.

The eldest sister nodded with relief, thinking that this boy was good at doing business.

Finally, Lu Hai put the weighed loaches in a basket and handed them over. "Big sister, these 4.2 jin loaches, the extra 2 jin is for you. Thank you for giving me a good start. They are delicious. Please come to see me again tomorrow."

"No problem!" After saying that, the elder sister handed Lu Hai a 1.2 yuan bill, then picked up the basket and left.

Lu Hai looked at the money in his hand. Although it was not much, it was a good start.

After all, the work points for today’s members are only ten points a day, which is only three to four cents.

Even for workers in the factory, a person's monthly salary is only more than 30 yuan. This order of mine is almost someone else's one-day salary, which is considered very good.

Besides, isn't this money accumulated slowly through primitive accumulation?

By noon, all the loaches and eels that Lu Hai brought were sold out.

I counted the bills in my hand, a total of twelve yuan, and then received a pound of meat coupons and three pounds of grain coupons.

This amount of money is almost a member's monthly salary, and I only spent it in one day!

So it is true that there are opportunities to make a fortune everywhere in this era. It just depends on whether you want to and dare to do it.

After packing up simply, Lu Hai prepared to go home.

Now that Lu Hai has food coupons and meat coupons, there is naturally no need to buy things on the black market.

If you have tickets, you will naturally get a better deal if you buy them at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Finally, when Lu Hai returned home, he stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative to weigh out five taels of pork, two catties of fine grains, and a small bottle of soy sauce and took them home.

Holding these things, Lu Hai was so excited that he was not as excited as he was when his previous company went public.

The reason is simple. With the experience and development trajectory accumulated from his previous life, he will only go higher and further in this life than in his previous life.

And today is only the first day!

Moreover, looking at the meat and vegetables in my hands, I couldn’t help but sigh that prices today are really cheap.

He just saw that now you can buy several pieces of White Rabbit for one cent. In the supply and marketing cooperative, if you have a ticket, the price of meat is only 40 cents per pound.

And these things in Lu Hai's hand only cost less than 80 cents.

It was already afternoon when I got home. Jiang Lanqing was not at home. Lu Hai probably went to work in the fields again.

This is how it is in this era, we are basically busy during the day.

So after Lu Hai put down what he was holding, he went fishing with his basket before it got dark...
