Raising a family through the 1970s

Chu Tian walked into the alley, casually found a place to squat down, and after a while, a man with thief eyebrows and rat eyes squatted down beside Chu Tian, and he approached Chu Tiandao.

"Brother, what are

you selling?" Chu Tian glanced at him and asked lightly, "What about you? What are you selling?"

The man lifted the cloth covering the basket slightly, and the contents of the basket were clear at a glance, it was a grain cob (corn) without threshing, "Rice cob, brother, do you want it to be cheap, two or a kilogram a piece."

Chu Tian sneered, "Big brother, are you joking with me? The threshing and crushing bud flour of the supply and marketing cooperatives is only six cents and one kilogram. The

man also knew that he was selling expensive, and smiled awkwardly, "It's not cheap, but now the supply and marketing cooperatives are not ready to buy if you want to, as far as I know, the supply and marketing cooperatives don't talk about fine grains, even coarse grains have not been supplied for half a month, and the white noodles on the black market have risen to four yuan a kilogram, and rice has also risen to four yuan and five kilograms..."

Chu Tian was surprised

, "So high?" the man shook his head and sighed, "Isn't it high?" Two days ago, the old lady in the family was sick, so she wanted to eat the noodles, and found someone to buy half a kilogram of white noodles, or the last white noodles, and asked me for a piece of eight, this is still an acquaintance..."

"If it's a high-grade white flour, it is said that it can be sold for five or six yuan in the market, or even higher!"

"In short, the grain on the black market is now doubled! I'm just doubling it, it's really not expensive!" Chu

Tian touched his chin when he heard this, and said in his heart that this price is not cheaper than modern grain, where is it? In modern times, the minimum wage is there, even if a kilogram of rice and noodles is sold for more than ten or twenty yuan, people can afford to eat it, and they can eat it, but in this era when the average worker's salary is only thirty or forty, if you want to eat one kilogram, you have to reach four or five yuan of fine grain, which is really not something that ordinary people can afford...

I wanted to ask something more, but I saw that someone wanted to buy his bread bars, and finally bargained back and forth, and set it at one or one kilogram in a piece, a total of five kilograms, and sold it for five dollars and five cents...

The man counted the money and put it in his arms, and when he saw Chu Tian staring at him, he said suspiciously, "Brother, what's the matter? You also want to make corn sticks?" But today's rice sticks are sold out, do you still have a little soybeans, do you have half a kilogram, if you want it, I will sell you for two yuan..."

“····"

Chu Tian tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Thank you, no need!"

The man was not angry when he saw this, he carried his basket and moved to another position.

Chu Tian squatted for a while and no one came to ask, after thinking about it, he felt that it was not okay to squat like this all the time, he still had to take the initiative to attack, his eyes looked at everyone who came in empty-handed, and finally locked on a middle-aged man, seeing that although others looked malnourished, but they were dressed without any patches, he knew that his family conditions would not be bad, not to mention double employment, then he must also be a person with a job.

"Big brother, do you want grain?

The man immediately stopped, looked at the people squatting around, and motioned for Chu Tian to follow him to a place where there was no one inside.

Making sure that no one was following them, the two came to a corner.

"What kind of fine grain is it?How do you sell it?" Chu

Tian put the basket on his chest and opened the corner of the two cloth bags to show him, "They are all high-grade white flour and rice, all of them are five yuan and five kilograms, and there is no bargaining..."

Chu Tian thought that on the way to the group field, the captain and Accountant Xu said that they, the people of the production team, couldn't save a few tickets a year, and if they wanted to buy a cloth or other things, they couldn't buy it with money, so they were busy and changed their words.

"Well, if you have food stamps or industrial stamps and cloth stamps, it's five dollars a kilogram. "

Big brother, do you want it?".
