    ?

    Lin Ranran quickly closed the lid, avoiding the dirty hands of the green turban, and said with a smile: "I sell by piece, three pieces of meat for fifty cents."

    It was only then that the green scarf realized that she was almost ashamed just now. She swallowed and was startled by Lin Ranran's price. She laughed and said, "It's only three slices for fifty cents? It's only seventy-eight cents for a catty of meat when I go to the butcher's department."  ! Who is willing to spend this money!"

    Lin Ranran smiled without saying a word.  The listed price of pork is seventy-eight cents, yes, but you also need a meat ticket, can you buy it?  The pork on the black market has been fried to two yuan and three yuan, but there is still a price but no market, and there is no stock at all.  Pork and fine grains are all materials for unified marketing, and they are the key targets of the Ministry of Public Security.

    The country people are busy all year round, and they only get a few catties of meat. Unless there is a big problem, they are reluctant to take it to the city to exchange.  Even if it is brought, that bit of meat is just a drop in the bucket compared to the demand of urban residents.

    Besides, the labor cost has to be counted!  The method of braised pork with dried plums and vegetables is simple, but not everyone can make a good taste.  Lin Ranran thought that her flesh was worth the price.

    With such confidence, Lin Ranran began to sit on the sidelines in the black market.

    She is a clean and pretty girl, very popular in the black market, but she doesn't look like a seller.  Several people came to ask her what she was selling, Lin Ranran carefully opened a crack of the lunch box for them to see.

    The meat has always been stored in the space, and it was still hot when it was taken out. Now Lin Ranran held it in his arms to keep the heat, and the wonderful smell of meat came out gradually, making people's mouths squirm.  saliva.

    Those people's eyes shine when they see meat, and they can't wait to eat it all.  But after hearing Lin Ranran's offer, they were all scared off.  Three slices of meat for fifty cents is not expensive, but buying three slices of meat can only satisfy your cravings, and you can eat three meals with fine grains!

    A woman wearing glasses asked Lin Ranran if she had any fresh pork for sale. She would rather spend three yuan to buy some pork and take it home, rub it with salt and calculate carefully to eat it for a month!  The answer is naturally no, Lin Ranran said with a smile: "Every family on our team only gets a few catties of pork, not much."

    "Hey." The woman hesitated for a long time, gritted her teeth and bought six slices of meat for one yuan, and put them in her lunch box.  Anyway, it's meat that doesn't require a ticket. Thinking that the money can buy three catties of fine grain, the woman felt pain in her heart, and said, "Get me more gravy, and more dried vegetables."

    Most of the people who came to the black market were to buy food and daily necessities, so it was difficult for Lin Ranran to start her business. After standing for more than two hours, Lin Ranran only sold two portions of meat, and the lunch box was still full.

    The business of the green scarf was good, so she came over proudly to lobby Lin Ranran: "I told you that your price is too high! People who come here want to buy food, how can they be willing to spend money to buy your meat? I have soap here  , Thirty-six yuan, I'll give you one piece, how about some slices of meat for me?"

    Lin Ranran smiled, glanced at her, and said, "I'll give you six pieces of meat in exchange for two pieces of soap."

    "Hiss" The green scarf gasped with a toothache. Her soap was for money and food.  It really smelled so delicious, and seeing that Lin Ranran couldn't sell it, he wanted to lower the price and exchange for a few slices to give the children supplementary oil and water.

    Who knew that Lin Ranran would not give in, she waved her hand with a dry smile: "Two bars of soap can buy a catty of meat."

    Lin Ranran said slowly: "A piece of soap costs twenty-eight cents, I'll buy ten yuan from you."

    "What? You haggle too hard!" the green turban raised his voice.

    Lin Ranran said slowly: "Don't worry, I'll do the math for you. Now the normal black market price of soap is only 30 cents. A piece of soap costs me 5 cents, and 10 yuan is 50 cents. I'll give you three more slices of meat. Don't you  deficit."

    Lin Ranran was sharp-tongued, and the green turban was not slow-witted, calculating quickly.  The price of 28 cents is too low, but she bought this soap with a ticket, and the cost is less than 20 cents.  Besides, three slices of meat can be spared for free, that's fifty cents!

    Green Turban didn't realize that Lin Ranran was involved in her at all - she didn't have to buy meat.  Green Turban gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Twenty-nine cents, six pieces of meat!"

    Lin Ranran agreed.  The two went around to an empty corner together, and the green turban unbuttoned the puffy padded jacket, which opened Lin Ranran's eyes¡ªthere was so much soap hidden under her padded jacket.

    Counting out ten pieces of soap and handing it to Lin Ranran, Lin Ranran gave the green scarf two and nine cents.  After the soap was delivered, the green turban took a lunch box and watched as Lin Ranran picked up six pieces of greasy, trembling meat in her lunch box with a pair of clean chopsticks, poured some more soup, and took a big chopstick to suck it up.  Dried umeboshi in soup.

    "I'll give you one more slice." Lin Ranran said with a smile.  The purpose of bargaining is to find out, and also to prevent people from thinking that she is easy to slaughter, but she will not let the other party suffer too much.

    "It smells so good!" The green kerchief sucked it in hard.?He took a big breath of aroma, and the little hand stretched out of his stomach was scratching, wishing to eat a slice now to satisfy his hunger.  But she still held back, the old and the young in the family didn't know how long it had been without oil and water.

    She took out a cornmeal bun she had left, dipped it in the soup and took a bite, the strong and salty taste instantly activated all the taste buds.  She was reluctant to eat meat, so she picked up some dried plums. The dried plums had already absorbed the fat and the taste of the meat, and it tasted chewy, even more delicious than the meat!

    With just a little soup and dried plums, he finished the cornmeal buns in two bites. The green scarf was still unfinished, so he chased Lin Ranran and asked her how she made it, and if she could sell dried plums alone.

    Lin Ranran refused with a smile.  The taste of dried plums is good, and there is only one trick - be willing to add oil.  Besides, this is simmered with pork belly on a low heat, can it taste bad?

    By this time, it was almost evening, and the black market had already closed its stalls.  The rest are sellers who didn't sell anything and didn't give up and wanted to continue to try their luck.  The gluttonousness of the green turban eating and the aroma it gave off have long attracted their attention.

    These sellers surrounded Lin Ranran and asked her if she wanted to take her own things, and they could also exchange them for meat.  Lin Ranran picked and picked, and exchanged a six-foot cloth ticket, two industrial coupons, three tubes of toothpaste, and five catties of red beans. It cost a total of one and six cents, and took out ten slices of meat.

    Now, Lin Ranran's lunch box is half empty.  She packed up her things and left the black market as quietly as the others.

    In winter, it gets dark quickly, the street lights have not yet been turned on, and the sky is dim.  Lin Ranran quickened her pace and walked on the road, clutching the lunch box in her arms to keep warm.  This time the braised meat was not selling well, which hit her hard.

    It seems that food is still king these days

    When passing by a non-staple food store, Lin Ranran heard a young man's voice: "Master, my father-in-law is here today, please look for it again"

    Another rough voice said: "It's really gone! There is not even a braised pig's trotter left, and you are the same, the old man didn't prepare it earlier when he came to the door!"

    The people from the non-staple food store drove the young man out, and began to put up boards to seal the store door.  The young man was walking dejectedly. He was wearing a dark blue overalls with a strong spirit, and the words of the No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant were printed on the back.  He was carrying a pocket in his hand, with a wine bottle protruding from it.

    The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he grabbed his hair: "Li Jiefang, Li Jiefang, you're so stupid!"

    A crisp voice suddenly sounded: "Comrade, what difficulties have you encountered?"

    "Uh!" Li Jiefang turned his head and saw that it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a fair face, looking at him with a smile.

    Li Jiefang's face flushed immediately.  These days, the defense between men and women is very serious. The male and female workers in their workshop are clearly separated, and they have separate tables for meals.  When did you talk to a girl you didn't know?

    ?But the little girl is open-minded, and she speaks crisply. This attitude has gradually infected Li Jiefang. Anyway, he is so worried that he has no place to cry at the moment, and it's okay to find someone to talk to.

    Li Jiefang told about his troubles.  He is a worker at the No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant in the city. He was introduced to a partner this year, but he has a great experience.  But the father-in-law was dissatisfied that he was not the only son, and he was not registered in the city. It took a long time to let the father-in-law let go, and planned to visit him today.

    Li Jiefang asked someone to buy a bottle of good wine a long time ago, and planned to pair it with some good dishes, so as to perform well in front of his father-in-law.

    Unexpectedly, the equipment in the factory suddenly broke down, so he stayed busy in the factory until now and came back. Not to mention the delicious dishes, even the braised pig's trotters that could not be sold in the butcher's department were gone!

    The first time the old man came to the door, he couldn't let people drink the bar?  Speaking of which, Li Jiefang grabbed his hair again, and the young man in his twenties was so anxious that his eye circles were red.

    "Hey, why am I telling you this?" Li Jiefang smiled wryly. He was so dizzy that he grabbed a little girl and started talking.

    Unexpectedly, the little girl smiled and took out a lunch box from her bag: "Comrade, I may really be able to help you." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
