After entering the house, Yuan Xiaoling hurriedly took the time to change into a set of men's clothes. This set of men's clothes was a blue work suit. This set of clothes was bought by Lin Mo when he was decorating his new house in modern times!

As for why I bought men's clothing at that time, it was because the clothes were cheaper! I don't know what those merchants were thinking. The same work clothes, the women's ones obviously use less fabric! But the price is five yuan more expensive than the men's clothes.

Although Lin Mo didn't need the five dollars at the time, he was still very angry, so he just bought the smallest size of men's work clothes.

Although Lin Mo is only 14 years old now, he is already 1.6 meters tall, probably because he was spoiled at home. So Lin Mo is now wearing this size M men's work clothes. Although it is a bit loose and the arms and trouser legs are a bit long, it is not too strange according to the standards of buying clothes in this era.

Nowadays, as long as there is enough fabric, people will basically make bigger clothes. As the saying goes, three years new, three years old, and three years of mending.

Lin Mo changed his clothes and put on a short wig, then found the army green hat with a red five-pointed star that he had bought at the munitions counter.

She went to the dressing table again to change her makeup, removed the wrinkles, and darkened the foundation one shade. She used transparent setting powder to set her makeup again, and applied skin-colored lipstick on her lips.

Suddenly, a short, thin, black boy appeared in the mirror. Lin Mo adjusted the voice of her voice according to the method she had learned from voice actors and internet celebrities. Hmm, not bad. Suddenly, her originally clear voice turned into a crisp boyish voice.

After changing his clothes, Lin Mo walked around his warehouse and carried a backpack containing ten bundles of fine noodles, ten bundles of coarse noodles, ten pounds of cornmeal (two pounds in one bag), ten pounds of pork belly (already thawed, cut into one pound pieces and wrapped in kraft paper) and a whole chicken (also thawed).

He was also carrying a basket in his hand, which contained 50 eggs. The bottom was padded with straw and covered with a piece of cloth.

Holding these things, Lin Mo pretended to be visiting relatives and walked into the steel plant's staff quarters. Seeing that the group of aunts and grandmas who had just been chatting under the big tree were gone, Lin Mo was suddenly confused!

He glanced at his watch and it was only 3:05 in the afternoon. "Isn't this even time to cook?" Lin Mo was thinking when he saw an old lady in a well-dressed outfit walking towards him. Seeing Lin Mo in a daze in the street, she asked Lin Mo:

"Young man, I see you look unfamiliar. Are you here to visit a relative? Who are you looking for?"

When Lin Mo saw someone asking her, she was immediately happy. She thought about the script she had just thought of in her mind, and then smiled and said:

"Yes, Auntie. My second sister sent a letter to our family saying that she had just given birth to a big fat boy. I brought some goodies to see him!"

"Oh, that's good! Did your second sister tell you which building her home is in? I'll show it to you." Old Mrs. Zhou was a kind-hearted person. After hearing what Lin Mo said, she quickly offered to show Lin Mo the way.

Lin Mo pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Auntie, my second sister didn't tell me! She told our family that her boyfriend is called Song Baolin, and asked me to come and ask around and I'll find out!"

When she heard that they were looking for Song Baolin's family, Mrs. Zhou's expression immediately became better. She smiled at Lin Mo and said, "So you are a relative of Section Chief Song's family?"

"Yes! Auntie, do you know which building his house is in?" Lin Mo asked.

"You came at a bad time. Section Chief Song was promoted and moved to the city with his family a few days ago. I don't know his address. When did your sister contact you? Don't you know?" Old Mrs. Zhou asked Lin Mo in confusion.

Lin Mo quickly said, "Auntie, my family is from Liao Province. I brought the things here three days ago after receiving the letter. I didn't know this, didn't I?"

When Mrs. Zhou heard Lin Mo's explanation, she immediately understood. Section Chief Song's family also moved out three days ago. It was estimated that the young man's second sister did not expect him to come so soon, so she just missed him.

Thinking that this young man was here to see her after giving birth, he would definitely bring a lot of goodies with him. Old Mrs. Zhou quickly stepped forward and said to Lin Mo with a smile:

"Young man, I don't think you'll be able to find your second sister's house in a short while. I heard that you brought a lot of good things with you. It's not safe to carry all that stuff in a car back and forth. Why don't you give these good things to me in exchange?"

Seeing that Old Lady Zhou was speaking up, Lin Mo pretended to be embarrassed and tried to refuse her, but finally agreed reluctantly.

Seeing that Lin Mo agreed, Old Lady Zhou happily pulled Lin Mo's arm and brought Lin Mo to her room. She held his hand tightly, as if she was afraid that Lin Mo would run away.

She let go of Lin Mo's hand only after he and she entered the house. At Lin Mo's signal, she opened the cloth on Lin Mo's backpack and basket. When Mrs. Zhou saw what was inside, she was so happy that her mouth almost stretched to her ears.

She immediately turned around and asked Lin Mo how to exchange these things. Lin Mo was not vague and told Mrs. Zhou directly that these things were exchanged by him at the black market today. If Mrs. Zhou wanted them, she could just pay him according to the black market price.

After hearing what Lin Mo said, Old Lady Zhou calculated the price of the things in Lin Mo's backpack and basket. Now on the black market, such good white flour noodles are one yuan per catty, so these twenty catties are twenty yuan.

Cornmeal is 50 cents a pound, and 10 pounds is 5 yuan.

Pork is one dollar and a half per pound, so ten pounds is fifteen dollars.

This hen weighs about five pounds, and one pound now costs one dollar and eighty cents, which is nine dollars.

Eggs are 70 cents each on the black market, and 50 eggs are 35 yuan, which adds up to more than 80 yuan.

But looking at these good things, and thinking about my own and my spouse's retirement salary, it adds up to more than a hundred yuan a month!

She didn't hesitate any more and just told Lin Mo that she wanted all these things. She asked Lin Mo to wait for a moment and she would go and get the money. Lin Mo was also surprised at the old lady's arrogance and could only nod and agree.

Ten minutes later, when Lin Mo walked out of Old Lady Zhou's house with eighty-four yuan in his pocket, he still felt a sense of unreality as he touched the money in his pocket.

But she was soon conquered by the arrogance of the steel plant's families. She quickly chose another corridor to go in. While no one was around, she filled her backpack and basket with the things she had prepared long ago, then randomly selected a lucky family and knocked on the door with the same words as before. In just this short afternoon, Lin Mo happily traveled around the entire steel plant's family compound and soon earned her second pot of gold in her life, 964.8 yuan.
