Chapter 248: I Will Give You Pocket Money (2)
Gu Qingyao stared at the money in front of her. When did her brother become so rich?
Her older brothers used to give her pocket money, so she could save a lot. But even the wealthy fourth brother had never given her so much at once.
The most he gave was 20 yuan.
The prices of goods in this era were actually relatively low. Some rare materials were very expensive, but those things were not essential.
Of course, the price in the black market was different. Otherwise, it would not be called a black market.
Her fourth brother came back and bought her an imported watch and a gift. And now he even gave her so much money. Did he become a millionaire?
“Brother, are you a millionaire now?”
Gu Jinfeng was pleased and proud to hear that, “This is nothing to me. I have a high salary, sufficient supply. Things are not expensive and I spend very little money. I can afford to give you more pocket money.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
His brother had a business mind. If not, he would not be so rich in her previous life.
Gu Qingyao immediately looked at him with bright eyes, “Fourth Brother, do you… have additional ways to make money?”
Gu Jinfeng paused and looked at her. He did not try to hide anything from her.
“Of course there is. Otherwise, how does Mo Beihan afford to raise two nephews in the family and take care of his elder mother? He could still give you pocket money. If he can do it, I am definitely better.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
‘Do you have to win over Mo Beihan for everything in order to build your image?’
Gu Qingyao suddenly stood up excitedly, “Brother, do you often go to the black market? Oh, the things outside are very cheap, but the things on the black market are old and expensive, and I still have a lot of things in my hand! They were all sent to me before. The money and tickets you gave me were spent at the grain store. Let’s go and exchange something…”
“Sit down now.” Gu Jinfeng stopped her seriously and pulled her down.
“Why do you need to worry about so many things? You’re just a little girl. If you need anything, just tell us. I am good enough to buy you anything you want.
“What if you encounter some dangers at the black market? Stay at home. I can get anything you want. Don’t get involved in so many things.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Gu Jinfeng stared at her fiercely and did not allow her to go.
Of course, he knew that it would make a lot of money.
Many people in the Gu family worked outside with high pay. They received many coupons as well.
The grain in the grain store was very cheap now. Coarse grains like cornmeal cost only eight cents per catty. Fine grains were slightly more expensive, but not too expensive.
According to the different status of the cities across the country, there were slight fluctuations, but not much.
Jiangchong City was relatively poor. The prices of regular grain stores were set by the state and needed to be purchased with coupons, but this was different for the black market.
Gu Jinfeng worked outside and had been to many places. He knew that in places where living conditions were better, there was no high-priced food in the black market. Fine grains were worth a few yuan for a catty, or even less than that.
However, it was different for Jiangchong City, especially the town here.
The fine grain in the market could be priced as high as 4 to 5 yuan due to low production. Many people were starving.
Low production led to high cost in the black market.
