It was still dark, and at the counter of the guest house, Sister Meng fell asleep wearing a big padded jacket. Lin Ranran walked over to open the door lightly, and Sister Meng woke up immediately.
"Of course, why are you so early?" Sister Meng rubbed her eyes. This little girl is so energetic, I peeled peanuts with her until midnight these two days, and woke up again before dawn.
"Woke you up?" Lin Ranran said softly, and handed a greased paper bag to Sister Meng, "I'll go out for a walk. If Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing wake up, please take care of them. I left the food stamps on the table. "
Sister Meng agreed without hesitation, and never asked Lin Ranran why she was out. After getting along with Lin Ranran for the past few days, Sister Meng certainly saw something. A little girl who can take out so many food coupons and biscuits, and even brought out a bag of peanuts last night, needless to say, is a "bad guy".
But she was too lazy to inform. Sister Meng has a long-term vision. The food supply in the city is famine from time to time, and non-staple food is even more pitiful. Lin Ranran has only lived in for a few days, and she has already scooped up a lot of things for tooth sacrifice. Having a good relationship with Lin Ranran has many benefits.
Thinking about it, Sister Meng secretly opened the oiled paper bag and took a look, the delicious yellow egg cake! Her stomach growled, and Sister Meng swallowed her saliva, wrapped it up and hid it in her pocket. Peeling peanuts in the middle of the night last night, Lin Ranran gave me a few biscuits to fill my stomach, so I decided to take this chicken cake home for the children to eat.
The cold air in the early winter morning made the tip of Lin Ranran's nose turn red, and it even pierced coldly into his neck. Like a countryman, she covered her head and face with a scarf, and the army green padded jacket on her body was bulging, making it impossible to distinguish between men and women. There were only a few passers-by on the road, most of them just got off the night shift, huddling their shoulders and rushing home, not paying attention to Lin Ranran at all.
Lin Ranran had already figured out the way in the past few days. After turning a few times in the winding streets of the ancient city, he arrived at the black market. Compared with the silence elsewhere, many people have been guarding here for a long time.
Lin'an County is shrouded in a layer of fog. From a distance, many fuzzy figures are moving in the fog, completing transactions silently, which has the atmosphere of a ghost market. As soon as Lin Ranran approached, several people rushed up and sold their things to Lin Ranran in low voices.
Lin Ranran ignored them all, and walked directly to the other end, and the soap seller who was familiar with her rushed up immediately: "Xiao Li, the eggs are here! This price."
The soap woman said, compared to eight, and said: "Eighty!"
"Thanks." Lin Ranran took out five taels of food stamps and gave them to her. The soap girl was so happy that she could see her teeth but not her eyes, and said, "Come with me!"
In the past two days, eggs have been collected everywhere, and there are no eggs that are scarce in the city, neither the black market nor the supply and marketing cooperatives can get them. It was Lin Ranran who remembered that Soap Girl had been on the black market for a long time, so she might have some connections. Sure enough, after half a catty of food stamps went down, the eggs came.
Lin Ranran looked at the back of the soap girl, knowing that she was making money from both ends. The price of eggs on the black market ranges from 6 cents to 7 cents, and such a large purchase will be cheaper. But only money can turn ghosts around, and let Soap Girl taste the sweetness, so that she can help herself in a down-to-earth manner.
"Puchi, puff." The soap girl signaled to the bottom of the wall, where a countryman with his sleeves clasped was squatting, with a large basket covered with a cloth beside him.
"I'll show you off." Soap Girl said, turning her back to look around.
Lin Ranran walked over: "Are the eggs fresh?"
"Fresh, fresh! Eighty, my family has saved them for a long time." The man rubbed his hands and said embarrassingly, obviously not used to doing this, "You count again?"
Lin Ranran opened the cloth covering the basket and looked, the basket was full of small and smooth eggs, and the gaps were plugged with rice bran. "Don't count, I'll give you an extra fifty cents, and give me the basket."
"become."
Lin Ranran lowered her head to take out the money, suddenly the man approached, Lin Ranran hurriedly took a step back, clutching her money and staring back displeasedly. The man was still staring at her. At this time, the morning light gradually lit up, reflecting Lin Ranran's pink face.
"You aren't you the eldest girl of the Lin family?" the man asked in surprise.
The man had an honest farmer's face, and Lin Ranran stared at it for a long time before recognizing that he was from the village.
"What are you doing here, girl of the Lin family? Your grandparents are all over the village looking for you, youdon't run away!"
Lin Ranran didn't even care about the eggs, and ran wildly, bumping into several people. The black market is used to being caught by the inspection team. Seeing Lin Ranran running so desperately, they picked up the goods and ran away. A good black market was empty in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few dead leaves rolling on the ground.
The man who recognized Lin Ranran was standing there watching the basket of eggs, dumbfounded.
Lin Ranran had been running a long way before stopping to catch her breath while clutching her chest. How is it so unlucky that the huge Lin'an County can bump into people from the same village. JustThat's why she didn't show too much of a show, right? If that person found out about her making money in the city, would he go back and tell Lin Wang and the others? I haven't met acquaintances these days, and I am a little too relaxed.
And her reaction just now was too violent, there could have been a better solution, at least buy the eggs first. When that person took the money, he was like a grasshopper on the same rope as himself. Now that the person has been exposed and the egg has not been obtained, what will she do next?
Lin Ranran was upset. Just at this time the restaurant opened for business. The soy milk was boiling in the deep pot, and the aroma of fried dough sticks wafted out all over the street. When the steamer was opened, the big white buns and flowering steamed buns made people's stomach growl.
Food is the most comforting food. Lin Ranran ordered a bowl of hot soy milk, a bun and a deep-fried dough stick, and sat at the small square table to eat slowly. At that time, there was no mention of genetically modified soybeans. They were ground with a stone mill and boiled properly. The skin of the buns was soft, and there was a bit of translucent fat diced in the stuffing. Lin Ranran picked out the fat and threw it on the table.
Strange to say, in the modern age, half a steamed bun was too much for her to eat in a meal, but in this age of lack of food and clothing, her stomach is like a bottomless pit, and she can't hold two big steamed buns in a meal.
This set of breakfast costs four taels of food stamps and two cents, which is considered a luxury at this time. Especially the one who ate this meal was a little girl. The fat salesperson looked at her several times and pouted.
Who is it, eat buns and pick out the meat and throw it on the table. Don't be afraid of being struck by lightning!
A new customer came in at the door, holding a child, standing there looking at the menu. The salesperson glanced at him casually, and suddenly his whole body was shaken. He changed his previous Wanniang face and greeted him politely, and said shyly, "What do you want to eat?"
"Brother, I want to eat wrapping paper. Meat, not skin!" the child yelled inarticulately.
The boy holding him said indifferently, "Gu Yuanyuan, did your ass get spanked again?"
"Woo" The child stopped talking immediately.
Subdue the bear child with one move, ruthless character. But children should focus on education, how can they hit someone? Like herself, she has never touched Xiaoqiu Xiaojing a finger.
Lin Ranran wanted to see who the speaker was, so she looked up.
Standing out from the crowd, this is her first impression. The man was still a teenager, but his stature was already tall and straight, like a young poplar full of vitality. He was wearing a brown leather jacket, dark trousers, and camouflage military boots.
In this era when everyone has a disheveled face and is dressed in dusty padded jackets, Lin Ranran can hardly take his eyes away when he suddenly sees such an outstanding character.
Even if he is holding the child and standing in this smoky restaurant, the smoke and smoke of the world will not be stained on him. Perhaps it was because Lin Ranran's eyes were too direct, the young man looked back, and there seemed to be displeasure in his cold eyes.
Cough cough. Lin Ranran realized that she was staring at her in a daze, and she was about to lower her head when she saw the little bun in the boy's arms pointing at her, and said crisply: "This sister is wasting food. Brother, go and spank her ass!"
The guest next to him squirted out the soy milk directly.
The veins on the young man's forehead were throbbing, and there was a faint crack in his cold and arrogant expression.
Lin Ranran almost choked, she was relatively impure, and when she heard these words, the dirty scenes in her mind kept coming and going.
This is embarrassing. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
