Chapter 10 The Market in the 1980s

As for the peaches and red bayberries, it was even simpler. Chen Qi quietly went up the mountain alone, picked them all the way, and then took them into the space.

Not to mention the 50 peach trees in the Chen family, Chen Qi was so happy that he collected all the peaches from the neighbor's house.

Fortunately, no one cares about these fruits now, otherwise it will definitely cause a world war in the countryside.

Rural people can’t suffer at all. If you pick a few more peaches and red bayberries, they will come to you desperately, as if you have taken advantage of him.

A week passed like this, and Chen Qi felt that his space was already full of various souvenirs.

What makes him especially happy is that this space really has the function of keeping fresh. Anyway, it looks good when you put it in, and it still looks good when you take it out. It will not deteriorate at all.

Those eels and loaches will never die at all, and they are guaranteed to be fresh when they are sold, so that they can be sold at a good price.

After finishing the preparations, Chen Qi was ready to go to the city to sell.

The urban area mentioned here is actually the seat of the government of Yuezhong District, and also the seat of Huiji County Mansion. In an urban area, the government office and county office coexist.

Yuezhong City is an ancient city with a history of 2,000 years, with a population of more than 400,000. Even in 1981, it was still a medium-sized city.

The best jobs, schools, hospitals, and institutions in the entire region are concentrated in the urban area. From the perspective of rural people, there are "workers" and "rich people" everywhere.

Chen Qi has so many local products, and only the urban area can digest them. After all, Keqiao Town is just a town with limited consumption power.

One morning a week later, Chen Qi was about to set off before dawn.

Chen Shu and Chen Hua also got up after hearing the voice, and looked at Chen Qi eagerly: "Brother, we also want to go to the city to see."

The two children have grown up so much, they have only been to Keqiao Town as far as they can, and they have never been to the "big city" Yuezhong District, and they yearn for it countless times in their hearts.

Chen Qi touched the heads of the two of them, and said quietly: "Brother, promise, if I make money this time, I will take you to the city to have fun, how about it?"

"Really? Don't play tricks."

It's not that he doesn't want to bring it, but he really can't, because all his goods are stored in the space, and they will be sold out like a magic trick, and there is no way to explain it to his younger siblings.

They are just young, simple-minded, and don't think too much, but they are not really stupid.

The silly elder sister didn't know that Chen Qi was going to be a small peddler. The reason Chen Qi gave her was that the school had a summer camp and she needed to go back for a few days.

"Second, here, here are two dollars."

Chen Qin took out a few dime coins from her pocket, one dime, two dime, and five cents, all of which were obviously praised by her hard work in the past few days.

Chen Qi felt panicked in his heart, which also strengthened his determination to go to the city to sell souvenirs, anyway, even if he was caught as a speculator, he didn't care about it.

The sky is big and the earth is big, family happiness is the greatest.

If the Chen family had to rely on the silly elder sister to carry bricks alone, then he, the eldest son of the family, a 19-year-old man, could commit suicide by jumping off a cliff.

Chen Qi used to be a little bookish, but now Chen Qi is not. He can do anything for himself and his family.

At this time, before the sky stopped, Chen Qi went out with a torch.

He has to walk for 1 hour to Xingtang Commune, and then 4 hours to Keqiao Town, where there are various means of transportation to enter the city.

Yuezhong City is 25 kilometers away from Keqiao Town. It costs 5 cents to take a boat, 6 cents to take a passing coach, and the cheapest way is to take a train, which only costs 2 cents.

Cheap is cheap, but there are relatively few trains. After all, Keqiao Town is a small station, and there are not too many trains that stop.

But for a student like Chen Qi, time is the most feared thing to waste, and this is also the means of transportation he takes the most every time he goes to school in the city.

It's just that he was unlucky today, and it turned out to be a "cargo-to-passenger" train, also called a "stuffy tank car".

This kind of car only has small windows on the top, and the inside of the car is like a subway, with two rows of wooden seats placed vertically.

As for the smell inside the carriage, not to mention the smell of sweat, body odor, and even the smell of excrement and urine, which can kill people.

If he didn't smoke to death, he was crushed to death. Anyway, Chen Qi was squeezed to the side of the carriage the whole time, his face pressed against the door and he couldn't move.

Fortunately, it only takes half an hour to drive from Keqiao to the city.

After getting off the train, Chen Qi took a deep breath and couldn't help feeling better.

"Folks, I, Hu Hansan, came back with a peach~~~~"

When Chen Qi left the train station, it was around three o'clock in the afternoon. He had been studying in the urban area for the past two years, so he knew exactly where there were lively vegetable markets in Yuezhong urban area.

He was not willing to spend money to take the bus, so he walked to the Dayun Bridge two kilometers away. There is a straw hat vegetable market, which is the largest vegetable market in the city.

When he came to Dayun Bridge, he found that there were already a sea of ​​people, which made Chen Qi very excited.

In 1981, although the whole society was still relatively conservative, it was no longer as strict as it was in the 1960s and 1970s.

The Viet Central region has allowed farmers to sell their own vegetables, chickens and ducks in the market, which can be regarded as a small opening.

Note that the premise that you can sell is that you grow the vegetables yourself, raise the chickens yourself, and pick the things you sell yourself.

The goods sold must not be wholesaled.

Taking advantage of the early time, Chen Qi went to the vegetable market for a market research.

The Straw Hat Lane Market is full of state-run stalls, including butcher shops, lo-mei shops, fruit and vegetable shops, and grain shops. All kinds of tickets are needed for transactions here, and of course the prices are relatively cheap. This is the welfare of the workers.

Outside the market, farmers like Chen Qi came to trade with a load of vegetables, or two ducks and a basket of eggs.

There is no need for a ticket to sell things here, just give money, but the price is more expensive than the state-run non-staple food store, the advantage is that the transaction is more flexible, and there is no limit.

After all, you have a limited amount of food stamps and meat stamps every month, and you can't buy as much as you want.

What excites Chen Qi is that there is only one "fruit and vegetable shop" in the whole market that provides fruits, and there are not many varieties.

As for outside the market, there was no one selling fruit, which convinced Chen Qi that he was definitely in the right place to sell peaches and red bayberries, and there were no competitors.
