Chapter 21: Black Market Part 2 

At first glance, the man looks like a worker in the city. This kind of person usually has money and tickets!

Zhao Xiulan hurriedly walked towards the man. When she arrived at the man’s side, she lowered her voice and asked, “Excuse me, comrade, do you want foodstuffs?”

The man looked at Zhao Xiulan with some excitement and surprise, then asked, “Girl, do you… do you have foodstuffs?”

Zhao Xiulan nodded.

The man’s name is Guo Aidang. He has just wandered around the black market and wanted to buy some foodstuffs. But his luck was not that good, as he hasn’t met anyone who has foodstuff yet. He didn’t expect that someone would take the initiative to sell him foodstuff at this moment.

“Yes, I want them!” Guo Aidang nodded hurriedly and asked, “Girl, what kind of foodstuff do you have there? How much?”

Zhao Xiulan told him everything she had in the basket, “Ten catties of rice, 10 catties of white flour, and 10 catties of dried noodles!”

Guo Aidang’s eyes widened when he heard this.

What?

Ten catties of rice, 10 catties of white flour, and 10 catties of dried noodles?

Guo Aidang looked at Zhao Xiulan’s clothes and thought that Zhao Xiulan was just a peasant. Even if she came to sell foodstuff, she could only take out sweet potatoes, sorghum flour, and other coarse grains.

But what did Zhao Xiulan say? There are rice, white flour, and dried noodles!

These are all fine grains!

Even on the black market, where the price is several times higher, it is not easy to buy fine grains.

Zhao Xiulan not only has fine grains, but there are so many as well!

Guo Aidang thought about it for a while, and then realized that maybe she was just deliberately disguising herself to sell food on the black market!

Many people who come to trade on the black market are people who have disguised themselves, just to hide from the public. Guo Aidang often came to the black market to buy foodstuff before, so it is not that he has never encountered one before.

Of course, Guo Aidang doesn’t care about any of these, all he cares about is the foodstuffs in Zhao Xiulan’s hands!

He has forgotten how long it had been since he had eaten fine grains. Now that Zhao Xiulan said there are rice, white flour, and dried noodles, how could he not be excited?!

Guo Aidang hurriedly asked Zhao Xiulan, “Girl, how much are your rice, white flour, and dried noodles, I want them all!”

Zhao Xiulan didn’t know the specific prices on the black market. Thinking of the information in the space she checked earlier, if the goods in this era are bought with food tickets, then rice is only 20 to 30 cents per catty, and the white flour is almost the same as rice. Dried noodles are a little more expensive, about 50 cents per catty. The price on the black market will multiply by almost 10 times, and some fine grains may be more than 10 times more expensive.

In the case of a shortage of supplies, although commodity foodstuffs are much cheaper, it is still difficult to get them from formal channels even if you have money and tickets, otherwise the price of foodstuffs on the black market will not be so much more expensive than the foodstuffs being sold in the shops.

Zhao Xiulan tentatively quoted a price and said, “Rice and white flour are 3 yuan per catty, and dried noodles are 4 yuan per catty.

But if you can give tickets, rice and white flour are 2 yuan and 50 cents per catty, plus half-catty food tickets. Dried noodles are 3 yuan per catty, plus half-catty food tickets!

If you don’t have food tickets, then other tickets will be fine. Let’s see, cloth tickets, sugar tickets, oil tickets, et cetera. I can accept them all, even industrial tickets!”

Zhao Xiulan needs money and tickets now. Although there are many supplies in the space, they cannot be taken out at will. But if she has various tickets, then she can explain the legal source of the things she’ll get in the future.

Guo Aidang was a little stunned when he heard the price quoted by Zhao Xiulan. For a while, he thought that he had auditory hallucinations in his ears and probably just heard the prices wrong.

Why are the prices so cheap?

He buys foodstuffs from the black market every month and knows the price. The prices quoted by Zhao Xiulan were at least 30% cheaper than what the other people are selling on the black market!
