Lu Tian and Zheng Juan stood at the market entrance for almost an hour, selling more than a dozen bunches of candied haws. Each bunch earned two cents, and he earned two or three cents an hour, which was almost as much as Lu Tian's salary at the sanitation station.

The profits are huge.

However, during the Spring Festival, we usually can't sell so much. Usually, if we sell here for a day, it's good to buy more than ten skewers.

Most of the time before, Zheng Juan would push a cart and sell candied haws on the streets. After all, candied haws are eaten by children, so she could sell more or less candied haws on the street.

But now the street has been urging Zheng Juan to go to the countryside. She is worried about meeting people on the street while walking in the alleys, so she sells them at the door of the small market.

After standing for an hour, Lu Tian's feet were numb from the cold even though he was wearing a large cotton cover.

Lu Tian knew that if he kept still, his feet would be frozen to the ground.

Before arriving, Lu Tian wanted to go shopping in the market and said to Zheng Juan: "Juanzi, my feet are frozen. Go wander around the market and come back as soon as you move."

Zheng Juan, who was wearing a thick hat and a thick scarf with only one pair of eyes exposed, said with a cold breath: "Brother Lu, go ahead."

"Juanzi, that's what I said. It's almost the Spring Festival and there will be a lot of petty thefts. You have to be careful. I'll be back as soon as I go."

"I know, Brother Lu, I will be careful." Zheng Juan nodded.

After leaving Zheng Juan, Lu Tian entered the small market alone.

The bustling flow of people and the smiling faces of adults and children made Lu Tian feel the flavor of the New Year.

In this era, although materials are extremely scarce, people's yearning for a better life is no less than that of people fifty years later. Especially during the Spring Festival, every family spends everything they have and wants to have a decent Spring Festival. Fifty

After the New Year, material life has been greatly improved, but the flavor of the New Year has disappeared.

Looking around, there are dozens of vendors selling in the small market.

However, many products in this era cannot be circulated in the market. What can be seen, apart from some handmade items, are fresh products such as fish and kelp.

He doesn’t know how to do handicrafts and can’t make much money, so Lu Tian is not interested;

Thinking that Lu Tian was taken away by him because he caught a fish and fell into the river, Lu Tian was equally interested after his rebirth.

Walking further inside, Lu Tian's eyes suddenly lit up.

There was actually a seller of eggs in the market, and the prices were a bit ridiculous in this day and age. They were clearly priced at 10 cents each.

In non-staple food stores, you can buy a few eggs with your ticket. However, if someone is in confinement, the eggs you can buy with your ticket are far from enough. Therefore, many families raise a few chickens and give birth to one every day.

Two eggs, as a supplement.

Even so, it is far from meeting the demand for eggs during confinement.

Therefore, farmers around the city or those who raise chickens in the city take the eggs laid by their own chickens to the city market and sell them.

Eggs are not a bulk non-staple food that is supplied centrally and are allowed to circulate in the market. Lutian seems to have seen business opportunities.

Now the system can give you four eggs a day. If you sell them all, it will cost 40 cents, which is 12 yuan a month, which is equivalent to one person's salary.

Even if you keep one for yourself every day, that's eight or nine yuan a month, which is almost as much as Zheng Juan's monthly income from paper boxes.

With an extra ten yuan, although life is still tight, for Zheng Juan's family, it is a timely help and a lot of relief.

However, unless the system can release the supply of goods one day, a small amount of money will not be enough to live a better life.

We need to find other ways to make a living that can significantly improve our quality of life.

Before he knew it, Lu Tian had walked through most of the market. Looking around, he didn't find anything that could make money.

At this time, from the corner of the market, the cry of "selling briquettes" attracted Lu Tian's attention.

Walking closer, Lu Tian saw a sign:

Good for burning briquettes, five yuan a basket.

This kind of briquettes have been seen on land. They are made of coal flour mixed with loess and kneaded. Then they are exposed to the sun, shaken into balls, and burned instead of coal. In the final analysis, it is also to save money.

In this era, as a daily necessity, you need to use coal to buy coal. In the market, coal is not allowed to circulate. As a secondary processed commodity, briquettes are somewhat different. The proportion of loess in briquettes is higher than that of coal.

Shaking briquettes is a craft, so briquettes are allowed to circulate in the market.

Unlike the egg system which only gives four per day, the coal system is unlimited.

Although the coal provided by the system cannot be sold directly because the market cannot circulate. If the coal provided by the system is pressed into a coal surface, mixed with loess, and shaken into briquettes, it can be sold in the market.

The income from selling briquettes is much higher than selling eggs.

Lu Tian knew very well that this kind of business should not be done in a big way. After all, the source of the coal could not be told. If someone sued him and said it was stolen from the mine, it would be a big problem.

However, if you come and go in a small way, you can make a hundred and eighty yuan a month, don't show off, keep a low profile, and nothing will happen.

Thinking of this, Lu Tian, ​​who had been troubled about how to make money, finally got an idea.

It seems that this visit to the small market was not in vain. It can even be said that it was full of gains.

It won't take long for the days of abundant wealth to come.

Lu Tian, ​​who suddenly felt better, saw a candy seller nearby, thinking that Zheng Juan must like them, so he sold them for one yuan.

After wrapping it up, I put it in my arms.

Before he reached the entrance of the small market, Lu Tian suddenly noticed that people in the market were rushing towards the entrance of the small market.

It looked like there must be some excitement there.

Throughout the ages, Chinese people’s habit of watching the excitement has never changed, and it remains the same in every era.

Like everyone else, Lu Tian also rushed to the door of the small market. Unlike the others who were watching the excitement, Lu Tian suddenly remembered that Zheng Juan was selling candied haws at the door of the market. So many people were rushing to the door. Did something happen to her?

.

Thinking of this, Lu Tian became anxious and furious. He pushed everyone away and rushed to the door.

When I rushed forward, I saw four young men wearing military cotton-padded jackets, surrounding Zheng Juan in the middle. The candied haws holder on the trolley was also pushed, and the candied haws on it fell all over the floor.

Without saying a word, Lu Tian pushed away the people in front of him, pulled away the young people surrounding Zheng Juan, and came to Zheng Juan's side, "Juanzi, what's going on?"

Seeing Lu Tian, ​​Zheng Juan felt like she was seeing a savior. She wiped her tears and said, "Brother Lu, they said this place was originally theirs. I occupied their territory. I must either leave or pay them a dollar a day for the stall fee."

.”

"Juanzi, haven't you been selling this place for a long time?" Lu Tian said, blocking Zheng Juan behind him.

"Yeah, no one has ever asked me before, and I don't know where so many people came from today."

Hearing Zheng Juan's words, Lu Tian remembered what Tu Ziqiang said when he met Luo Shibin during the day. Not surprisingly, this was the situation Tu Ziqiang said.

In her previous life, Zheng Juan was deceived by Tu Ziqiang into getting along with him, which led to so many disappointments later on.

This time, we must not let him succeed again.

Thinking of this, Lu Tian pointed to the person in the yellow cotton-padded jacket who seemed to be the leader and said, "Which one of you is the leader?"
