    In the black market, as soon as Qiao Mu entered, everyone swarmed in and rushed to put money and tickets into her hand to buy food.

    Although it was like this before, Qiao Mu felt that this time it was much more intense than in the past, and many people seemed to be a little thinner than before.

    He quickly grabbed a familiar person and asked:

    ¡°Sister Zhang, what¡¯s wrong with you?

    Why do I feel that your face looks a lot worse than last week?  "

    ¡°Oh, don¡¯t mention it!

    The food supply from above has been reduced again. Now even cornmeal is almost out of supply. Coarse grains have been replaced by sweet potatoes. There are not even potatoes. Moreover, we have to go to the food station to grab it every time, and we may not be able to grab it. Our family has  Almost out of cooking.

    If you don¡¯t come again, I won¡¯t know where to go for my next meal. Maybe I¡¯ll have to buy rice that costs three to five yuan a pound!

    I don¡¯t know how much rice you have left, so you must sell more to me. The same goes for whole grains. Even potatoes and sweet potatoes are good, as are soybeans!  "

    After going through this period of not taking one meal at a time, Zhang Mei is really no longer picky about anything. No matter what it is, she wants to buy everything she can eat, and even wants to spend all her family's money on food.  After hoarding it, I was really frightened by hunger.

    "Bah, old Zhang family, you are not kind, you have already bought it, why should we buy it?

    "Grandma, you must give me some food. We have a child at home. It doesn't matter that we adults are hungry for one or two meals, but the child at home can't stand hunger at all!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Sell me two kilograms of rice first!  "

    "I want it too, I want it too!"

    ¡°I want all the whole grains I want!¡±

    This time, everyone was obviously more excited than a week ago, and two of them almost started fighting. This also shows how tight the food supply is in the county. However, the county is like this, and Qiao Mu and his village are also  It's not much better. Now there are almost no rice grains in the porridge they drink in the morning and lunch. They are all kinds of wild vegetables.

    However, the time has now entered May. In May, it can barely be regarded as summer. At this time, the taste of wild vegetables is quite poor, and the bitterness is much stronger than before, so the wild vegetables they drink in the morning and noon  Porridge, to be precise, it should be called wild vegetable soup. It is definitely quite difficult to swallow.

    Qiao Mu didn¡¯t want to drink it again after drinking it once.

    ¡°Everyone, please be quiet for a moment!

    "This time, I'm afraid it will be the last time I send food. The price doesn't go up, so I sell it at the original price. How much do you want?"  Now tell me quickly and I will pull it out in a moment!  "

    Because she knew that the food supply in the county was very tight, and Qiao Mu was a little worried about her own safety, she planned to stop doing it after the deal was completed, at least until the end of 2001.

    ¡°Hey, grandma, don¡¯t!

    "If you don't sell it, where can we buy such good food in the future? Why don't you raise the price? Even if the price of your food rises to the same level as others on the black market, we will still be happy to buy your food!"  "

    We are not stupid. Compared with the coarse and fine grains sold by others in the black market that are mixed with all kinds of messy things and of poor quality, the grains sold by this grandma are not of very good quality and are better than those sold at the grain station.  The quality of the best grain is even better. Even if they spend the same money or even a little more, they will be more willing to buy the grain from this grandma.

    "Yes, grandma, please raise the price!"

    ¡°We will buy even if the price goes up!¡±

    "Oh, don't talk about it. I really don't have much food here, and it has not rained here for more than a month this year. If the situation does not improve, it is estimated that our harvest will be poor this year.  It¡¯s also quite annoying.

    Just tell me how much food you want. I'll try my best to get it for you. If it rains after a while, I might be able to get another batch of food. But if it doesn't rain yet, I'll keep it.  People who have surplus grain are not willing to sell it. You must also understand this!

    That¡¯s it, report the number quickly!  "

    Qiao Mu was very determined and did not soften her heart just because they were pitiful, because before doing many things, she had to worry about her own safety first.

    Originally, her selling food at low prices here has already touched the interests of other food sellers on the black market. However, now that the food supply is very tight, it would be too much if she could continue to provide food.  Eye-catching.

    Anyway, it¡¯s still smallThe heart is wonderful.

    When those around who wanted to buy food heard what Qiao Mu said, they suddenly realized that it had not rained for more than a month. Thinking about the continuous reduction of food supply above, how could they not think of the problem of food shortage across the country, so one  I quickly quoted a relatively large number.

    I want to try my best to exchange all the money at home for various kinds of grains, so there are far fewer people buying polished rice and noodles. Most of them prefer to buy coarse grains, and they still buy hundreds of kilograms.

    Qiao Mu also agreed one by one, asking them to go back and prepare the money first, and then she would transport the grain to the corner of the east street and trade together there in half an hour.

    After that, everyone naturally dispersed and left quickly, going back to collect money and tickets. Qiao Mu also hurriedly came to the corner of the east street and saw that there was no one around, and then quietly picked up the several thousand kilograms of coarse grains they had just requested.  and more than a hundred kilograms of fine grains were all taken out and piled in the corner.

    ?Then there¡¯s the transaction.

    "Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Qiao Mu soon sold all the grain in his hands, and those who bought the grain happily walked back carrying the grain. It can be said that everyone was happy.

    After Qiao Mu collected the more than one thousand yuan he had just harvested, he left just as quickly.

    ¡­¡­

    Zhang Mei¡¯s family

    A family of seven sat at the table, looking at the bowls full of sweet potato rice, quite happy.

    "Mom, why are you willing to cook so many things for us today? This can't be the last supper, right? After this meal, there is no next meal?

    ¡°Wait a minute, you didn¡¯t poison yourself with rat poison, did you?  "

    Wang Feng looked at his bowl full of sweet potatoes and couldn't help but be a little frightened. Yesterday he ate very thin porridge with less than ten grains of rice. Why was he suddenly so generous today?

    I¡¯m really a little scared.

    She often heard from her colleagues that there was really no food at home, and I sprinkled a handful of rat poison into the last meal, causing everyone to die together.

    "Rat poison is so expensive, but you are so beautiful!"

    "Old Wang, let me tell you something. I have spent all the money at home, and all the various tickets at home, and replaced them with more than a hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes and a dozen kilograms of rice.

    I¡¯m happy today, so I¡¯ll cook a little more for you, and I¡¯ll have to save some for tomorrow.  "

    Zhang Mei rolled her eyes at Wang Feng, and then explained the origin of these sweet potatoes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
