Chapter 15 Black Market Transactions
Before dawn the next day, about five o'clock, Tian Xiuyun was called up by Grandma Tian to prepare to go out.
Tian Xiuyun looked at the sky outside, and knew that the time was almost up, so she didn't say much, she got up and dressed directly, and in fact, even if she wanted to stay in bed again, Grandma Tian wouldn't give her a chance.
"These are going to be delivered to your uncle's house, you have to be careful, and come back as soon as they are delivered, there are a bunch of things waiting to be done at home. Grandma Tian packed the food to be brought to her youngest son's house, but she was worried that Tian Xiuyun would not be able to bear the waste of food on the road, so she reduced the two boxes of food that were originally planned to be full, and carefully tied the sack before putting it in the frame and letting Tian Xiuyun carry it.
After taking the grain from Grandma Tian, Tian Xiuyun left directly with the food, and walked all the way to the path at the entrance of the village, before turning a corner and picking another path that others do not often take. Seeing that the sky was still a little dark, and there was no one else on the road, he directly put the food into the space and hurried away empty-handed.
Tian Xiuyun's current cultivation has just reached the third layer of the Qi Refining Period, and the normal cultivator's cultivation must reach the fifth level of the Qi Refining Period before she can control the flying sword, and now she can only use her True Qi to speed up the pace of the journey.
In this way, it not only saves time, but also familiarizes you with the use of true qi while you are in a hurry, and after reaching the fourth layer of the qi refining period, you can try to learn some small spells. Now that I am more familiar with the use of True Qi, it will be more or less helpful for learning spells in the future.
The sky had just dawned, and it was only about seven o'clock, Tian Xiuyun came to Uncle Tian's door with the food burden that he had just taken out of the town.
"Bang bang bang~" Tian Xiuyun knocked on the door, Uncle Tian's family lived in an independent small courtyard, which was also Aunt Tian's dowry.
Aunt Tian's real name is Sun Zhengrong, there are four brothers in the family, she is a girl, Sun Zhengrong's father Sun Hu was originally an ordinary public servant in the town committee office in Chishui Town, and later took advantage of the turmoil to pull down his leader, and he directly sat in the position of the director of the town party committee office, and he can be regarded as a well-known figure in the town.
Although Uncle Tian, who worked in the town at the beginning, only had a primary school education level, he was very shrewd, handsome, and could speak well.
Sun Hu has always loved his daughter, so he had no choice but to let his daughter marry Uncle Tian, but he also asked for Uncle Tian to live in the town, so that he could take care of his daughter.
In this way, with the director of the office of the town party committee as a backer, Uncle Tian is also like a fish in water in the town. It's just that because of the majesty of the old man, and because he is also a selfish character, he knows that the conditions of the Tian family are not good and life is difficult, but he will never lend a hand.
often in the name of not separating the family, regularly let the family send food, and the rest of the Tian family is not without opinions in private. I just felt that Aunt Tian's maiden family was powerful, and they all thought about making plans to take advantage of the situation in the future, so they endured it silently.
"It's coming, it's early in the morning. After waiting for more than ten minutes, Uncle Tian's voice came from the courtyard.
"Uncle, my grandmother asked me to bring you food. As soon as Tian Xiuyun opened the courtyard door in Tian Xuewen, she greeted and said.
"Why are you here?" As soon as Uncle Tian opened the door, he was a little stunned for a while when he saw the big girls of his three families standing outside the door.
"My dad was not feeling well, and everyone else was fine, so my grandmother asked me to come over and deliver food. Tian Xiuyun saw that Uncle Tian had no intention of taking over, and she didn't care, the people of the Tian family had always been like this, so she continued to carry the burden into the kitchen.
"Just put the food in this cupboard. Uncle Tian stood at the door of the kitchen and commanded.
"Xuewen, who is here?" The door of the master bedroom opened again, and Aunt Tian walked out wrapped in thick clothes and asked in a loud voice.
"It was Xiuyun from the third brother's family who came to deliver food. Uncle Tian replied.
"It's Xiuyun, let's stay for breakfast for a while, your cousins are still sleeping." Aunt Tian walked into the yard and greeted Tian Xiuyun, who had just put the grain.
"No, it's not easy to walk, I have to go back. Tian Xiuyun declined the other party's proposal, and knew in her heart that Aunt Tian did not sincerely invite her to stay for breakfast, otherwise she would not have added the sentence that her children were still sleeping.
"Hey, too, the road is slippery on this snowy day, and it's really not easy to walk, and the little aunt won't force you to stay. Sun Zhengrong said very understandingly.
"Well, uncle and aunt, then I'll go first. Tian Xiuyun picked up the two empty boxes and said hello to the two, and left directly.
Out of the alley of Uncle Tian's house, Tian Xiuyun walked to the depths of a hidden alley again, and used her spiritual sense to detect that there was no one around, so she put the flat pole and the frame into the space, and then turned around and walked towards the station.
At this time, the shuttle bus from the town to Yongji County had not yet departed, Tian Xiuyun counted the time and hurried over, and when she arrived, she found that there was no one in the car, so she paid the fare and directly picked a rear window position to sit down.
It is not close from the town to the county seat, and it takes about an hour to get there by this old-fashioned bus between the two places, which is about the same time as walking from the mountain village to Chishui Town in the morning.
However, compared to the road in the morning, this road to Yongji County is not very familiar, in order to prevent delays, Tian Xiuyun still decided to take the car more conservatively, and when she is familiar with the route in the future, she can enter the city alone.
After a bumpy journey, Tian Xiuyun finally arrived in Yongji County in the swaying of the bus. According to the location of the black market just inquired, Tian Xiuyun searched all the way unimpeded.
The black market in Yongji County is deep in a dark alley in the middle of the city, because there are people behind the black market, so anyone who wants to trade privately will come here. However, the black market will charge a certain entrance fee, and although it costs money to enter, it is safe and secure, and there is no possibility of being detected by the Red Guards.
After all, doing business at this time is a typical speculative behavior, and if you are caught, you will be criticized. It's just that the people in the city eat and drink, and they have a ration every month, and if there are any necessities of life that the supply and marketing cooperatives outside can't buy, they have to find a way to trade privately. Therefore, the black market was gradually formed, and gradually someone began to take over the black market privately, which can be regarded as forming a certain scale of the underground trading market.
Tian Xiuyun paid the entrance fee of five cents, carried two boxes of wild goods, picked an empty spot to occupy it, and when the game in the box was exposed, she quietly squatted behind the box and waited for people.
This is also an unwritten rule in the black market, all those who sell things are not allowed to shout, and those who come in to buy things need to pick from stall to stall in order to find what they need, and once the transaction is successful, they cannot go back.
