Chapter 45 Arrival

The two of them chatted along the way, and time flew quickly.

Xu Xiangyang inquired about the long-distance goods intentionally or unintentionally, but Qian Wenqing did not hide it, saying anything.

When they were halfway, Xu Xiangyang and Qian Wenqing changed their seats and asked him to drive.

This is also why Qian Wenqing was so happy when he heard that he and Xu Xiangyang were leaving the car.

Because he asked him to drive!

Usually, I drive with Chen Jiancai and others, and it is too difficult to drive, so I don’t even let the steering wheel touch.

"Brother Xu, when I get to the city, I will invite you to have a meal first. Our subsidy won't be able to eat anything good." He happily held the steering wheel and drove steadily.

Xu Xiangyang smiled when he heard what he said, and replied, "Okay, you can deduct it from the subsidy at that time. We will make money from it, not enjoy it."

Originally, this job was done by others, but although I taught me to drive, I owe favors.

From the beginning, I should have treated me to dinner, but I never had the chance.

Qian Wenqing smiled and didn't say anything. The two of them said they would take what they wanted, but there were not many opportunities to have such a thing.

What's more, Xu Xiangyang tried his best to teach himself to drive, which was much better than before.

During the chatting and chatting, the two of them arrived in the same town. Because the subsidies were limited, they just ate a bowl of noodles.

There is still a day left next, and you may not be able to reach the mountain city in the middle of the night.

Xu Xiangyang and Qian Wenqing were driving in a different way. They arrived at their destination at midnight at 10 o'clock.

At this time, there was no one on the way, and Qian Wenqing took him to the state-owned hotel first. The person on duty in the room looked unhappy.

Anyone who is awakened by sleeping soundly will definitely be unhappy.

But the two of them can't go to the car to sleep, right? I don't say it's so cold outside, how will I work tomorrow after sleeping for one night?

I opened the room and two people lived in one room with two single beds.

Xu Xiangyang slept with his clothes, and it was tiring to take the bus this day.

Qian Wenqing is not a very particular person. Both of them are careless and sleep quickly when they are tired.

The next morning, it was already seven o'clock when the two got up.

Someone knocked on the door outside, and Xu Xiangyang went out with him.

"Brother Zhong, have you had dinner so early?" Qian Wenqing greeted the man in his thirties in front of him.

Xu Xiangyang watched them speak and knew in his heart which department this person belonged to.

The Grain Bureau also has a purchasing department, which is responsible for buying things on business trips and so on.

Brother Zhong smiled and said, "Not yet, I won't ask you to go and have something together."

The three of them came to the state-owned hotel next to the hotel and had a breakfast.

It's not quite rich, it's just porridge, steamed buns and mixed vegetables.

Because everyone comes out and spends subsidies, they don’t have the habit of being generous.

After dinner, Brother Zhong took them to load the car, and then he went back first.

I didn’t go back with their driver when I went back to purchase. I only had two seats on the car, so it would be too crowded if I had one more person.

Qian Wenqing was in a good mood and said to Xu Xiangyang: "Brother Xu, should we buy things separately or together?"

Xu Xiangyang didn't mean to go with him, so he said, "Don't you have to go to many places? I'll just take a look at it. It's not certain whether you buy it or not."

This time I came here mainly to see that the department stores there are not complete, and this place is a big city, so there are a lot of things.

Qian Wenqing nodded and agreed. After all, he had to help buy a lot of things, so Xu Xiangyang was also running errands.

After the two separated, Xu Xiangyang did not rush to go to the department store first.

He wants to go and see the black market here, and it will definitely be bigger than the black market elsewhere.

It depends on your opinion when inquiring about such things. Xu Xiangyang found a second-rate man, lit a cigarette for him, and told him everything.

There are two black markets in the mountain city, one is open only on holidays, and the other is open every day.

After inquiring about the good route, he went directly to the black market.

Today is not a day off, so there are not many people on the black market, but there are also many.

Compared to the tight supply in other cities, the same is true here, but they have more good things here.

There is no shortage of things like coarse grains, and fine grains are fine.

It is because there are many things here that people have a higher demand for good things.

Xu Xiangyang remembered the pairs of leather shoes he had prepared, and then found a place to change his clothes.

Although it is impossible for someone to know you here, it is better to have some insurance, so be careful to sail a ten thousand-year-old ship.

Things like leather shoes usually require tickets, no matter where they are.

When Xu Xiangyang took out his leather shoes, a group of people surrounded him.

Even if I don’t plan to buy it, I have to come and have a look.

Before he came, he had already found out the price, and he needed a pair of tickets for twenty yuan.

Men's shoes are more expensive for two dollars, but he doesn't know why.

Because the tickets are not easy to buy, Xu Xiangyang directly set the price of women's shoes at twenty-three yuan and men's shoes at twenty-five yuan, which is three yuan expensive.

If you can't buy leather shoe tickets for these three dollars, everyone is determined to buy them when they hear this price.

Moreover, the yardage is one pair for each pair, and it will be gone if you start late.

But despite this, no one wants to buy it. The more than 20 yuan is worth a month's salary per person.

This means that if they buy these shoes, they are likely to drink the northwest wind this month.

But most people can't afford it, it doesn't mean no one can afford it.

A woman in her thirties carries a basket and points to the men's leather shoes and asks: "Comrade, are there any size 44?"

It seems that I didn’t buy it for myself, it should be bought for my family.

Xu Xiangyang nodded, "Just one pair."

The woman asked tentatively, “Can I pick it up and see it?”

This thing is not cheap, so it is necessary to ask.

Xu Xiangyang nodded and signaled to her to see. This person's actions made him feel very comfortable. He didn't like others, and he had to touch him if he didn't buy it.

It’s not that he doesn’t let him touch things, but that some of these people are not honest and always want to destroy them and then bargain.

Such people are really offensive. If you can’t afford it, you say you can’t afford it. If you want to bargain, you say you’re bargaining. What’s that going on?

The woman looked at the shoes and felt very satisfied. "Okay, I want this pair."

After saying that, she took out the money and paid, put the shoes into the basket and left.

Others saw someone buying it, and those who were eager to try it started to take action.

After all, there are only a few pairs of shoes, and they are still one pair and one size. If you start late, you will be gone.

In less than half an hour, Xu Xiangyang's six pairs of shoes were sold.

More than 100 more money will be paid soon!

He didn't rush to leave, and went to the place next to him to buy a large piece of defective cloth.

Because it is dark blue, some places are dyed unevenly and cannot be seen without careful reading.

This time he didn't sell anything anymore and turned around and left the black market.
