How to Thrive in the ’60s

When the moustache said these words, Grandma Tian also turned to look at the flour in the sack, and found that it was indeed fine white flour. After thinking about it, she turned back to Gu Shinian and said:

"Little comrade, if you are fine and white, how about I give you five pounds less?"

Gu Shinian didn't speak, thinking in his mind whether this business could be done.

What is lacking most in the world now is food, followed by all kinds of meat, bills, things like old objects that cannot be eaten or worn, and that will bring disaster after they are discovered.

Therefore, there is no standard for pricing these old items. Whether the two parties can trade or not depends on whether the items have entered the eyes of individuals.

This box of things really caught Gu Shinian's eyes, but the old lady's asking price was a little harsher.

Gu Shinian thought about it for a while, then bent down and asked Yun Chang, "Ah Chang, do you like it?"

Yun Chang looked at Granny Tian and shook her head ignorantly, "I didn't even see what it was, the second brother will do."

Gu Shinian smiled and patted Yunshang's head, and said to Granny Tian, ​​"Comrade, I'll think about it, why don't you go to another stall first?"

Grandma Tian also knew that the price she wanted was too high. Now that Gu Shinian was frightened back by her high price, she hesitated for a while and lowered the price again.

"Little comrade, you have 30 catties of white flour, and 25 catties of national food stamps."

Gu Shinian shook his head and counter-offered, "Twenty catties of refined white flour, twenty catties of national food stamps."

This time, Granny Tian agreed only after hesitating. She even put the small cloth bag and box into Gu Shinian's hand, and took out a large cloth bag from her pocket, and asked Gu Shinian to pour the white noodles directly to her. in a cloth bag.

The two did not have a scale, so Gu Shinian directly poured almost half of the white flour, and grandma Tian handed it over together with four five-jin food coupons.

Granny Tian stretched out her hand to weigh the weight of the cloth bag, looked at Gu Shinian in surprise, then took out a five-jin food stamp and returned it to Gu Shinian.

"Little comrade, you are a kind person, but let's say as much as you want, and I won't take advantage of you!"

Yun Chang was speechless.

The extra white flour that Gu Shinian gave was obviously given to Granny Tian. If she didn't want to appreciate it, she could borrow a scale and return the extra white flour. He confidently said that he would not take advantage of Gu Shinian.

Although food stamps can also buy refined grains, Dingtian can only buy Fuqiang powder, where can you buy refined white flour.

In the final analysis, this old woman still took advantage of Gu Shinian, but she still said something beautiful, no one knew that Gu Shinian actually suffered a secret loss.

Gu Shinian was also stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head to sort out the sack without taking it seriously.

"Second Brother Gu!"

Yun Chang angrily shouted to Gu Shinian, seeing that he didn't care at all, he simply became sullen by himself.

Seeing this, Gu Shinian gave her a task in a low voice, "A-Shang, pay attention to Granny Tian. If she goes out, tell me quickly."

Yun Chang immediately regained her energy, and without asking what Gu Shinian was staring at Granny Tian, ​​she rounded her eyes and looked for Granny Tian in the crowd.

The moustache next to him walked over slowly and looked at Gu Shinian like a prodigal son:

"Eldest nephew, you can't eat, drink, or wear the thing you want, so what are you doing in exchange? Even if you want to change it, the price is too expensive. Two days ago, someone exchanged ten pounds of white noodles for a box of the boss. Gold, jade, it's much cheaper than you!"

After he finished speaking, he shook his head, and shared the details of Granny Tian with the two of them, "That Granny Tian lives nearby. She used to have several coal mines at home, and she is a famous big capitalist in Linyang. It is estimated that there are many old things in her hands. Before she came here to exchange food, she didn't ask for such a high price. I guess you are a face and want to cheat you."

Yun Chang did not expect that Granny Tian was actually a capitalist.

Shrinking his head, he asked furtively, "Uncle, what kind of work does Granny Tian do now?"

"Ha! What else are you doing?" Moustache grinned, "Shooting shit in the street!"

Yunshang: "..."

Yun Chang was really surprised.

The clothes on that grandma Tian's body were clean and tidy, not only did not have any peculiar smell, but when she was close to people, there was a faint scent of soap on her body.

Rather like a kind-hearted family old lady.

Gu Shinian was silent for a while, put away the rest of the flour, said hello to the mustache, and pulled Yun Chang away from the booth.

Yun Chang was pulled out in confusion, and asked curiously, "Second brother Gu, what are we going to do?"

"Don't you want to visit the black market? I'll take you to other stalls."

The two walked all the way and found that there were quite a lot of things on the black market, including pheasant and hare, vermicelli, soybeans, cornmeal, and castor oil, but none of them sold white noodles.

There are also many types of daily necessities, including fabrics, fake collars, kitchen knives, soap, charcoal, and bamboo baskets. At the end of the walk, there is a stall selling second-hand goods. There are five or six half-new watches on the stall. A pen, three 70% new leather bags, and two military water bottles and old military bags.

Yun Chang also thought of picking up leaks from the second-hand goods stall, but Gu Shinian directly carried it by the collar and slipped away.

After walking a long way, Gu Shinian put down Yunshang, saw the grievance on her face, squatted down and said:

"A-Shang, the things on that booth are all stolen goods, it is a booth that sells stolen goods!"

Yun Chang didn't know how Gu Shinian saw it, but after hearing what he said, he immediately followed behind him and didn't dare to mess around.

The two walked around the black market hastily, and finally bought 30 catties of charcoal. There was nothing to pack, and they spent an extra dollar to buy the charcoal basket together.

When Yunshang was visiting the black market, her eyes would look for Granny Tian in the crowd from time to time. When she saw Granny Tian walking outside with two big cloth bags on her back, she quickly tugged at Gu Shinian's clothes and turned to Granny Tian. The location winked.

Gu Shinian put the sack in the charcoal basket, and with the help of the stall owner, picked up the basket, pulled Yun Chang and quickly followed.

Grandma Tian didn't walk fast, and the things on her body should have some weight, which bent her originally straight back.

Gu Shinian took Yun Chang and walked a few steps quickly, caught up with Granny Tian, ​​and stretched out his hand to help her hold a hand behind her back.

And although Yun Chang didn't feel very good to Grandma Tian, ​​her upbringing also prevented her from giving the old lady a cold face.

Granny Tian turned her head, recognized Gu Shinian, and asked with a smile, "Little comrade, it's still a while before five-thirty. Are you coming out now?"

"Well, after buying what you need, you won't stay in it." Gu Shinian replied, and then continued, "Comrade, these things are not light for you, I'll take you back."
