Chapter 20： black market 1 (1/2)

After leaving the supply and marketing agency, Zhao Xiulan found a hidden place, then entered the space and looked at the materials about the 1960s.

The 1960s was the period of my country's planned economy. In an era when the supply of commodities was extremely scarce, in order to ensure the balance of supply and demand, the state implemented a planned supply of food, clothing and other necessities for urban and rural residents, and issued these tickets according to the population.

After all, it's all because of poverty! Materials are too scarce, unlike in the 21st century, where materials are abundant, as long as you have money you can buy anything.

But not all things require money and tickets. Like in the black market, these things are not restricted, and some just give money without tickets.

Some rural people, when the family needs money, will use the grain distributed by the family to exchange money on the black market, and the buyer does not need to show the ticket, just give the money. Food can also be exchanged for various scarce tickets. All in all, people who come here get what they need.

However, because of the lack of materials, the state does not allow things that are traded in private, and the control is very strict. Once caught, there will be serious consequences. The things on the black market are naturally much more expensive than the normal ones.

Even so, in the era of extreme shortage of supplies, everyone would still go to the black market for food. No matter how dangerous things are, it is better than starving to death without food. In desperation, who would care so much, being able to fill the stomach is the most important thing!

After roughly understanding, Zhao Xiulan came out of the space.

Although she has everything in her space, in the end it is not in line with the things of this era, so she can't take it out easily.

She wants money and all kinds of tickets, but she can try it on the black market! Anyway, she has food in her space, and taking out a little has no effect at all.

In this era, many people are short of food and food!

If she took the food to the black market to exchange it, she should be able to exchange some money and tickets.

Thinking like this, Zhao Xiulan secretly took out ten catties of flour, ten catties of rice, and ten catties of dried noodles from the space.
