The minibus to the capital was filled with laughter.
In this era of poverty, no one could remain calm when they were able to make a trip to the capital. They were all excited.
Lin Jianshe was an exception.
He sat alone by the window and closed his eyes. At the same time, he was thinking about the first step after entering the capital.
When he left the village, his father had issued a certificate through the village.
With the certificate, he should be able to stay in the hotel for three days, so he had to find a place to stay for a long time within three days.
"First, go to the black market and sell some things for money. Then, think of a way to buy a house.”Lin Jianshe understood that buying a house in this era was very difficult to handle, or it was not allowed to be freely sold at all, but he still had a glimmer of hope. Anyway, there were many old people in the capital from the previous dynasty and some capitalists from the Republic of China. They definitely had houses.
If it really didn't work out, they could just make a private deal. It was also possible for them to be their distant relatives and transfer their inheritance.
"The accommodation is easy to solve, and there's no need to worry about food. The key is how to find a master?”Lin Jianshe took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.
This was a habit from his previous life. Every time he encountered something annoying, he liked to massage his temples.
"Little brother, what's wrong? You didn't say anything along the way. What's bothering you?”The lady beside her couldn't help but ask. This wasn't the first time she was on this train. It was the first time she met someone like this little brother. He didn't say anything. Other people's eyeballs would roll around if they didn't say anything, as if they wanted to pop them out. However, he just closed his eyes.
"Nothing. I just feel a little carsick." Lin Jianshe glanced at her sister and explained.
"Oh, that's good." The big sister also saw that Lin Jianshe did not want to talk, so she stopped talking.
At this moment, the conversation between the two people in the back row caught Lin Jianshe's attention.
"I heard that a woman from your village has married into the capital? Really?"
"Really? How can it be fake? That woman's name is Qin Huairu, and she's my cousin.”
"That's really enviable."
"Sigh, what's there to be envious about? You don't know that she had a good life a few years ago, but a few months ago, her husband died from a work-related injury. Not only did she become a widow all of a sudden, but she also took care of her mother-in-law with three children.”
"No way! Isn't that too unlucky?"
"That's right, but it's still considered good. At least they can eat their fill, unlike us who can't even eat our fill.”
"That's true. What about your cousin now?”
"What else can we do? She heard that her hometown wanted her to remarry, but she was unwilling. She said that she couldn't bear to part with her child. She heard that she had just taken over her husband's job and was preparing to become a worker to raise her child.”
"Is that so? That's really a good person."
"That's right. She's a widow at a young age. Not only does she have three children, but she also has to support her mother-in-law. However, as long as she can become a worker, she can still afford it.”
……
Lin Jianshe was stunned when he heard Qin Huairu's name.
"Qin Huairu?" This name was too recognizable. He had no reason not to suspect it.
" Red Star Commune's Qin Huairu's husband passed away, bringing along three children and a mother-in-law to take over her husband's work…This is a perfect example of love."
In the huge capital, there was no one he knew, and there was no place he was familiar with. In this era, he was like a wandering prodigal son. There were few places that could make him feel at ease.
Now that he heard Qin Huairu's name, he felt a little relieved.
"When we arrive in the capital, we'll stay near the Beast Siheyuan.”Lin Jianshe decided in his heart.
Half an hour later.
Lin Jianshe got off the minibus empty-handed. As for his luggage, it had long been thrown into the space.
After that, he looked for someone to ask for directions. After asking around, he finally found the Third Rolling Mill and checked into a guest house near the rolling mill.
After a simple meal, Lin Jianshe, who had been running around for the whole day, felt very sleepy even though he was full of energy. He threw himself into bed and slept until midnight.
"K, there's no watch here. What time is it now?”Thinking that he was going to look for the black market, Lin Jianshe quickly got out of bed and walked out of the guest house. When he went out, Lin Jianshe was dumbfounded. When he was in Zhang Village, he didn't care even if he didn't have a watch because he had nothing to do there. If he wanted to work, he could wait until dawn. When it was dark, he would sleep. Time was not very important.
Now that he was in the capital, he wanted to do something. How could he do it without knowing the time? He did not have the ability to determine whether it was midnight or three or four in the morning.
"I need a bicycle.”
After sighing, Lin Jianshe walked to the empty street without hesitation.
He believed that as long as he met someone on the road, he would probably know where the black market was. The only uncertainty was the time.
Just like that, Lin Jianshe walked around the street for three hours before he finally met someone. After consulting, he found the black market.
In the dark night.
A small path beside the main road was filled with people. As the people moved, they could see that everyone was holding something in their hands with the help of the weak light.
Some were carrying old hens, some were carrying fish, some were carrying grain, and some were holding all kinds of bills. There were all kinds of them.
Lin Jianshe was not in a hurry. He walked around the black market empty-handed for a long time and understood the prices of various materials.
In terms of future income and consumption, the current prices were very cheap, but in terms of income in the 1960s, the prices were really high, especially in the black market. Vegetables were five cents per catty, cabbage was two cents per catty, rice was ten cents per catty, and flour was ten cents per catty.
The old hen was directly calculated by the number of old hens. Each old hen was about two yuan. One had to know that the consumption of one person in Beijing was only five yuan. If this was calculated, half a month's living expenses could only be exchanged for one old hen.
"Converted to the future consumption of a rural household, the price of this chicken is also two to three hundred yuan. This is sky-high. Who the hell would be willing to eat it?”
Therefore, Lin Jianshe also prepared to sell chickens. The price was high, the demand was high, and the money was fast.
Lin Jianshe wasn't worried at all about whether anyone would buy it. The capital was so big and there were many rich people. They didn't have any channels to obtain supplies. Otherwise, they would enjoy it more than the people in the future.
Lin Jianshe found a corner with few people and took out five to six old hens and hundreds of eggs for himself when no one was paying attention.
When he was in Zhang Village, he had coincidentally gotten a few pregnant eggs and started to breed in the space. Now, the space was flooded with these things. Fortunately, his space was big enough to let them breed freely.
Other than chickens, there were rabbits, dogs, and fish in his space. They were all thrown into the space when he was in Zhang Village. The rest were wheat, corn, and rice.
The Soul Space was formed by the collision of souls. To him, he could control the entire space with a thought. Therefore, Lin Jian could plant food or raise animals in the space with a thought.
"Little brother, how much is your chicken?”Just as he took out the chicken, someone with sharp eyes came over.
"Two yuan for one. You can have as many as you want.”Lin Jianshe took the opportunity to promote it. He believed that he would eventually encounter second-hand traffickers or big customers.
"Oh, give me one." The first customer didn't even bother to reply and left after paying.
When the second, third, and fourth customer arrived, Lin Jianshe finally met a big buyer.
"As many as you want?" The person frowned and didn't quite believe it.
"Yes, as long as you say the number, I can get it for you.”Lin Jianshe said generously.
"Chicken or egg?" The person didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was just casually strolling around the black market, and he couldn't possibly meet someone more magnanimous than the chicken farm owner.
"Whether it's chicken or eggs, you can have as many as you want.”Lin Jianshe was also interested. He knew that he had met a big client.
"Fifty chickens and 1,500 eggs a day. Do you have enough for a month?”The person asked.
"Yes, but I can't send it to you every day. You can arrange the address and I'll send it to you at once.”Lin Jianshe's goal is to find a master to teach him martial arts. How can he give you this every day?
"That's fine too, but can you help us kill the chicken? We don't have a place to raise them."
"Sure, I promise to clean it up. It won't go bad in winter anyway, but you can't ask for a discount. You know that killing one chicken is not a problem, but killing more than a thousand chickens is very troublesome.”Lin Jianshe said.
"Alright, alright, it's decided then.”The person was very happy. As the purchasing director of the textile factory, he was in charge of the entire factory's purchasing work. Under the circumstances that the distribution could not meet the factory's needs, his work would be busy.
It was already December, and the Spring Festival was coming soon. All the workers in the factory, including the leaders, were looking forward to a good holiday. They were looking forward to improving their food and enjoying the collective bonus.
Pork was in high demand, so the leader had his eyes on chicken and eggs. Someone would raise these things privately.
Soon, the leader decided that for the next month, he would try his best to let his employees eat chicken every day. He would strive to let every employee have one egg a day. The factory would purchase it uniformly and the canteen would process it for the employees to consume.
It had been ten days. He and his men had been running around every day. Not only had they made a new bicycle old, but they had also not solved the factory's demand problem. The other factories in the capital were also looking forward to the collective bonus.
Who would have thought that he would be able to satisfy his needs just by casually strolling around the black market?
"Thank you, comrade. What do you think we should do?”
"If you're in a hurry, give me an address. I'll look for you in the afternoon. Arrange a private place for me then. I'll get someone to deliver the goods.”
"Okay, then you can look for me at the textile factory in the afternoon. Tell him to look for Song Lijun.”
"Okay, if you have a familiar factory that needs chickens and eggs, you can tell me the quantity when you meet in the afternoon. We can pay on delivery together. I have as many goods as I want, but I only recognize you.”
"Really? That's not a small number." Song Lijun asked in surprise,
"Don't worry, you just need to contact the people and ask them to report the quantity and prepare the money. I only have a lot of goods here. Also, tell them that if they want us to help slaughter the chickens, they need to add a watch ticket or a bicycle ticket.”
"Alright, don't worry."
"Brother, these two chickens and the remaining eggs are for you.”Seeing that they were talking about big business, Lin Jianshe didn't want to stay in the black market anymore. He simply gave the remaining two chickens and eggs to Song Lijun.
"I can't bear to." Seeing this, Song Lijun quickly gave in humbly. To be honest, this little brother in front of him had helped him a lot.
"Big brother, don't be so polite. As long as big brother can contact one more buyer for me tomorrow, it'll be fine.”Jianshe Lin said with a smile.
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony.”Song Lijun didn't refuse anymore. He was going to give his little brother another order tomorrow.
"Then I'll be leaving first, you should go back early too.”Lin Jianshe.
"Okay, see you in the afternoon."
