Return To the Era with Space Supplies

Chapter 96 Making Money

 The chickens at home are usually free-range, and they usually eat earthworms and insects.

Chickens are not fat, and they do not lay eggs frequently. Regardless of special circumstances at home, eating one occasionally, and being able to save ten eggs in half a month is considered a rarity.

There were four women who entered the supply and marketing cooperative, and the eggs they brought together totaled 35. Si Ningning saw clearly from the side. The supply and marketing cooperative charged four cents each, and the 35 eggs totaled one yuan and four cents.

Among the four people, the one who got the bigger share got 50 cents, and the one who got the smaller share got 20 cents. Before the money was in his hands, he communicated with the salesperson at the counter, bought matches, cotton thread and other things, and then left one after another.

Si Ningning secretly sighed. Prices were really low in this era. One yuan and forty cents could buy thirty-five eggs. Converting this, the two yuan in her hand could buy 50 eggs.

“Comrade, what do you want?”

The girl at the counter interrupted Si Ningning's thoughts.

“Well, how do you sell eggs?” Si Ningning came back to her senses and asked.

The salesperson was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile: "You are not a local, are you? I heard a while ago that a group of educated youth came from here. You are an educated youth."

 Her tone was very determined.

Si Ningning was not embarrassed and nodded calmly.

Put the eggs into the partition specially designed to hold eggs. The salesperson smiled and said: "The supply and marketing cooperative only accepts eggs and does not buy eggs. If you don't want to buy eggs, go to the vegetable market. The price will not change."

 The eggs collected by the supply and marketing cooperative will be delivered to the market by people before closing at dark every day, and will not be sold to the public the next day.

Because the quantity is small and the supply date is not fixed, there is no way to stay there. It is rare to have a supply, and it is often sold out as soon as the stall opens early in the morning.

Si Ningning could probably deduce some of it, so he didn't get entangled in the issue of eggs.

Hibernating the counter, he pointed at several products on the shelf and asked. After learning the price, Si Ningning pretended to think about it, and finally pretended to be helpless about the price and did not buy it.

After chatting with the salesperson for a while, Si Ningning spent 60 cents to weigh some glutinous rice sticks and candies, then turned around and left the supply and marketing cooperative.

 The supply and marketing cooperative collects eggs and sells them without taking a commission. Some people may say that this operation is superfluous, but the general environment of the times is such that individuals are not allowed to buy or sell things. If they are caught, they are speculating and will be paraded on the street.

As the saying goes, the brave will be starved to death, and the timid will be starved to death.

Timid people abide by the rules, and bold people take risks. If someone has a demand, there will be a market, and gradually the existence of a "black market" will be derived.

Si Ningning’s purpose of coming today is the black market.

The total money she had with her was only two yuan. She spent 60 cents, leaving one yuan and six left, and two or three food stamps. Other than that, she had nothing else. Even if she wanted to buy something, she couldn't let go.

 The top priority is to make money.

He casually found a place to put down the basket on his back, and used the basket as a cover to put the things he just bought into the space. Si Ningning picked up the basket again and walked along the road. He glanced at both sides of the street and saw a corner alley without thinking about it. I wanted to change my pace and walked in.

There are not many brick and tile houses in rural towns. There are adobe and tile houses on both sides of the alley. There are 10,000 spider webs condensed under the eaves. Some of the spiders hang upside down, and some lie dormant during the day and emerge at night.

Si Ningning walked forward along the alley for a while, and finally stopped at a corner.

The corner space is much wider than the alleyway. Two bundles of dead bamboo poles are leaning on the edge, and several broken baskets are placed under the bamboo poles.

Si Ningning looked around and saw that there was no one around, and there were no side windows in the alleyway. She felt relieved, and ducked into the small space between the bamboo and the wall. Using the cover of two bundles of bamboo, she turned around and entered the space.
