  Chapter 15 The Eve of Going to the Countryside (3)

  Lu Xiaoxiao went home after finishing her errands. She thought that she would set off with the team going to the countryside three days later, so she had to hurry up to prepare.

She counted the money and tickets in her hand. After deducting the money in the passbook, she now has 2,632.86 cents, but there are not many tickets. There are only 50 catties of food stamps, 8 catties of There are 22 meat tickets and industrial tickets, and no cotton tickets like sugar tickets, let alone those rare bicycle tickets.

Although she has things in her space, many of them are not suitable for this era, and they cannot be used openly at all. It seems that before going to the countryside, she must find a way to get some tickets to buy some things, whether she uses them or uses them when the time comes. It's good to come and exchange things with others, after all, you can't buy and sell things now, you can only use exchange.

Lu Xiaoxiao thought that no matter who's ticket is tight now, it is impossible to exchange it for her. The only place where she can get tickets is the black market, but she doesn't know where the black market is. It seems that she will go out to find it tomorrow. If you can find it, it is the best. If you can’t find it, you have to find another way.

  She thought that she might have to work hard tomorrow, so she must recharge her batteries today.

  Lu Xiaoxiao took out a bowl of pork rib soup from the space and ate the steamed buns she made before, and then went into the bathroom of the villa to take a bath. Taking a bath in winter can not only relax the body but also keep the body warm.

   After taking a bath, Lu Xiaoxiao left the space. She lit the stove, checked the windows, and went to bed.

The next day, before dawn, Lu Xiaoxiao went out. Before going out, she turned her face into black, her head was wrapped in a piece of cloth, revealing a pair of eyes. She specially wore the original owner's oldest and smallest size clothes and trousers. Now She looks like a poor person who has to come out for food because of her poor family.

  Lu Xiaoxiao can still see the road clearly by the brightness of the moonlight, so why did she go out so early? I haven’t eaten pork but I’ve seen pigs running. It’s impossible to do this kind of thing in broad daylight, right? It must be done secretly by night.

  Lu Xiaoxiao saw no one when she was walking on the street. She was so courageous. If she was timid, she would cry in fright. Now it is not like the feasting and feasting like the later generations, where there are bright lights everywhere.

As she was walking, she suddenly saw a few people walking in and out carrying things in an alley, thinking that it must be a black market, so she found a place where no one was around, took out 2 catties of rice and a basket from the space Go into the alley.

   She observed that the people inside did not communicate with each other. If there is a transaction to be made, both parties will look at the corner to find someone and no one.

  After Lu Xiaoxiao understood how to trade, she began to look for a buyer. When she saw a man in a Chinese tunic suit approaching, she stepped forward and pulled the hem of his coat, and signaled him to the corner where there was no one with her eyes.

  When Lu Xiaoxiao came to the corner, she revealed the rice in the basket and asked, "Uncle, do you want some rice?"

  The man asked in surprise: "How much of this kind of rice do you have? What about your adults? Why are you a child here?"

Seeing that he needed to buy rice, Lu Xiaoxiao told him what she had thought up before coming, "My dad is looking at things outside, I'll tell him how much you want, but I don't need money, I just need a ticket, what?" Tickets are fine, if it weren’t for the fact that the rice is not easy to take away when we leave here, our family wouldn’t exchange it for tickets.”

  The man thought for a while that both his family and his Yue’s family were not short of money or tickets, but food was really hard to get. In addition, the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so it was better to give the leader a gift of rice than anything else.

  So he said: "I want 50 catties of this kind of rice. Do you have any?"

  Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard the man's words, she thought this is a big customer, so she quickly said: "Yes, we still have refined flour, but not much, only 20 catties, would you like it?"

  The man's eyes lit up when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and he quickly said that he wanted it, but he said that he didn't bring so many tickets to go out. His house is not far from here, and he can pick up the tickets and come back in 10 minutes. After discussing the price with him, we agreed to trade under the tree at the entrance of the alley.
