Reborn at 70 and living a good life with his biological mother
Chapter 34 Buying oil on the black market
During dinner.
Yuxiang told Lin Wanyi that the oil at home was running out.
"After only eating it for a few days, I have already exhausted a few kilograms of oil. Nowadays, oil essence is expensive and difficult to buy. In the future, we should use it more carefully when cooking."
"I heard from Aunt Liu that the village may have to grow rapeseed this year. It would be great if we could join the production team and get some oil at the end of the year..."
If the rapeseed is grown well, good oil can be squeezed out during the harvest, and the people in the village will also enjoy the blessings.
Lin Wanyi was thinking about buying some gas tomorrow. She had run out of gas coupons, so she seemed to have no choice but to try her luck on the black market.
After the mother and daughter had tidied up, they lay on the bed. Yu Xiang lay beside her and tossed and turned. In the end, she couldn't hold it back anymore. She turned to look at Lin Wanyi and asked, "Wanyi, there's something I want to ask you."
"Mom, do you want to ask about Shen Qingshan?"
"..."
The long silence in the night sky was regarded as acquiescence to Lin Wanyi's words.
Just when Lin Wanyi was about to explain, Yu Xiang turned around and prepared to go to sleep, "I won't ask anymore. Mom knows you have your own opinion now. Mom can't give you any good advice on marriage. Mom herself is a An example of failure.”
"But Mom believes in you. You will definitely consider this matter again and again. If you meet someone you like in the future, bring it back to Mom. If Mom doesn't stop you, I hope that my daughter will be safe and happy throughout her life. .”
Lin Wanyi said nothing, opened the quilt and got into Yuxiang's quilt, hugging Yuxiang tightly.
"You're so grown up now, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat with me!"
"No matter how old you are, you are your mother's daughter. What's wrong with your daughter acting coquettishly with her mother?"
Yu Xiang turned around and hugged Lin Wanyi, gently caressing Lin Wanyi's back, sighing in her heart, "I always feel that the day I gave birth to you was just like yesterday. Why did you become so big in the blink of an eye? It’s time to get married…”
Yu Xiang's voice choked up as she spoke. Afraid of Lin Wanyi's overthinking, she smiled again and said, "I don't know who will be so lucky to marry you in the future."
"Mom, I'm only seventeen. It won't be too late to stay with you for ten more years before I get married."
The originally warm scene was broken by Lin Wanyi's words. Yu Xiang sat up and slapped Lin Wanyi on the shoulder.
"Ouch! It hurts!"
"You can't become an old girl in your 30s who still can't get married. My daughter is so beautiful and capable! How can you be an old girl! It would be nice to get married early and give me a grandson."
Lin Wanyi: "..."
Just now he said he was reluctant to let her get married, but now he wants to have a grandson!A woman's face can indeed change faster than the sky!But now she really feels that there is no need to consider marriage. In her last life, she lived alone for more than 30 years. Apart from revenge, she was actually quite comfortable living alone. There were no trivial matters at home, and she did not have to worry about the deterioration of her marriage or the deterioration of her relationship. She doesn't have to deal with the Lin family's relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and sister-in-law. Now she just wants to live well with her mother, make good money, and live a beautiful and comfortable life.
After Yu Xiang fell asleep, Lin Wanyi closed her eyes and entered the wishful space.
These days, there are several unfinished tasks piled up, and the points she has worked so hard to save are falling day by day, and it has become -80 points.
It looked like her heart ached and her liver ached.
I finally managed to reach 100 points to level up, but now I owe so many points, and I don’t know how many tasks I have to complete before I can return to normal.
When she goes to the city tomorrow, she will see if there are any photos on the screen that she can buy directly, so that she won't have to search all over the world.
"Vegetables (Chinese cabbage, beet, chrysanthemum, white radish), 8 points.
"Curian carp, 9 points."
"Eel, 11 points."
"One pound of peanut oil, 15 points."
"..."
After looking at a series of pictures, Lin Wanyi discovered that perhaps only vegetables and crucian carp could be encountered.
Peanut oil?
They seem to only have rapeseed oil and tea seed oil here. Rapeseed oil is only available in November, and rapeseed oil is not fresh at the moment.
Maybe you can touch eels in the fields...
The tasks in this space are really all kinds of strange.
Lin Wanyi finally chose to go to bed first and worry about anything tomorrow.
The mother and daughter got up early, and Lin Wanyi went to the county seat before dawn.
She knew that there was a small alley in Shangrao County, where there were many good things, and it was considered a black market, but she didn't know the specific location, and she didn't dare to ask anyone.
It took me a long time to find it under the slowly waking sun.
The black market is on a street behind the archway. It is accessible from the front and back, and the surrounding alleys are also connected in all directions. If something happens, it is a good place to escape. The inspection team will not know which direction to pursue. It is a good place.
In the alley, many vendors were already squatting in the shade waiting for customers.Some people were still taking a nap, and you wouldn't know whether they were sitting there resting or selling things. Some people were selling things at a glance: vegetables, fruits, and eggs.
Lin Wanyi glanced at her one by one. She was standing in the black market delicately and delicately. She was wearing new-style clothes from the clothing store next to the supply and marketing cooperative. At first glance, she looked like a fat sheep.Many hawkers were immediately ready to move over and prepare to slaughter them.
Lin Wanyi went straight to the vegetable stall and bought the vegetable seeds that Space wanted. She also used this excuse to chat with the old vegetable seller.
"Uncle, do you know where I can buy oil?"
The old farmer coughed and said nothing.
This move was regarded as acquiescence. Lin Wanyi was happy in her heart. Unexpectedly, she actually asked her the question immediately. She smiled and rubbed her fingers and said, "What's the price of oil?"
The old farmer's cloudy eyes were shining, and he stretched out an index finger and said, "One piece."
"Tsk!" Lin Wanyi said with an expression of 'You're kidding me', "The rapeseed oil that the supply and marketing cooperative sold this morning was only priced at [-] cents per kilogram!"
The old farmer also saw Lin Wanyi's well-dressed clothes and thought he was a rich man, so he raised the price. She choked and immediately said: "I don't want food stamps here. If you buy more, I will give you a discount."
"How much cheaper?"
"I'll give you ninety-two cents a pound."
"It's still expensive!" Lin Wanyi took out two feet of cloth tickets from his pocket, "Fifty cents a pound, these two cloth tickets are for you!"
"Cloth ticket!" The old farmer's eyes lit up, then he calmed down, shook his head, and said, "You're so cruel in lowering the price, it's at least [-] cents!"
Lin Wanyi smiled: "You only get two feet of cloth tickets a year, do you want it or not?"
The two cloth tickets were dangling in Lin Wanyi's hand. The old farmer stared at them, gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to snatch them away: "Okay, I'll give you fifty cents if you look pretty!"
The gap between urban and rural areas is large these days, mainly due to the uneven distribution of materials.People in the city are worried about a morsel of food, and old farmers in the countryside are so anxious that they want to buy a house just for an industrial or cloth ticket.
Betrothal gifts are not cheap these days, unlike later generations who required three turns and one ring, but you still have to get a new piece of clothing.
In the countryside, unlike those in the city, you can buy new ones directly, and new clothes are not affordable for ordinary families. But you can always pull a few pieces of cloth and make it yourself. It is difficult for country people to pull cloth at the supply and marketing cooperative. !Without cloth tickets, there is no threshold for buying cloth. With cloth tickets, some families find it expensive and cannot afford it. In many families, if a piece of clothing is torn and patched, even if it is patched, it may not be enough. Can afford new clothes to wear.
She and her mother spent a lot of money to buy their clothes. This cloth ticket was obtained from the gangster last time. If there weren't a few left, and the mother and daughter don't need to buy new clothes now, otherwise this cloth ticket would not be worth it to her. Still reluctant to part with it.
The old farmer's daughter has grown up and is in love with beauty. She has wanted new clothes for a long time. He originally promised to make new clothes for her during the Chinese New Year, but recently the cloth sellers on the black market did not come. Because of this, the old farmer's daughter My son has been angry with him since years ago.The old farmer was holding money in his hand and couldn't even buy some clothes for his daughter. When he saw the cloth ticket in Lin Wanyi's hand, he couldn't bear to let it go.With cloth stamps, the price of cloth can be much cheaper than buying it on the black market!
"How many pounds do you want?"
"About ten kilograms. If you have more, I can get more."
The old farmer asked Lin Wanyi to follow him and walked to a dark alley. The old farmer knocked on a wooden door and said, "Blow the whistle."
'Blow the whistle' means coming for business.
The door was opened immediately, and a thin and dark young man was inside, "What whistle?"
"This girl wants oil, ten pounds of foundation."
The young man stared at Lin Wanyi and saw that the girl's skin was so white that it dazzled his eyes. He subconsciously pinched the corners of his wrinkled clothes and went into the house and carried out ten kilograms of oil.
Lin Wanyi first lent the money to the old farmer. The old farmer took the money and tickets and left with a smile. The young man looked nervous when he saw that Lin Wanyi still refused to leave after taking the goods.
In the black market, the circulation of grain and oil is prohibited. If caught, the consequences will be very serious. The vendors who make a living in the black market are very nervous.
Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "Is there any peanut oil here?"
The young man rolled his eyes, and Lin Wanyi knew there was something going on. He took out a dollar from his pocket and gave it to the young man.
"I want a pound of peanut oil. If you have the opportunity in the future, I will do more business with you."
"Peanut oil is more expensive than rapeseed oil. It takes four kilograms of peanuts to squeeze out one kilogram of oil, and the oil costs one and a half yuan per kilogram." The young man pinched the money in his hand and finally let go.
For the sake of the space mission, Lin Wanyi reluctantly gave up her love and gave [-] cents to the young man.
Looking at the oil that was so conspicuous, the young man went into the house and found a backpack for Lin Wanyi, "I'll lend it to you and return it to me next time."
Yuxiang told Lin Wanyi that the oil at home was running out.
"After only eating it for a few days, I have already exhausted a few kilograms of oil. Nowadays, oil essence is expensive and difficult to buy. In the future, we should use it more carefully when cooking."
