In the end, Zhou Li'an decided to go to the city gate to squat.

Soon squatted at the door of a middle-aged woman carrying an empty cloth bag and walking in a hurry.

He couldn't find the black market, so Zhou Li'an decided to follow and take a look.

It is also possible that this middle-aged woman did not go to the black market, but Zhou Li'an couldn't find any other way to find the black market for a while, so he decided to try his luck with him.

After the middle-aged woman walked out of the county gate, she was still walking on the main road at first, and soon turned onto a small road.

The trail is also paved with bluestone slabs.

In the memory of the original owner, it was the direction to go to the abandoned landlord's house.

Zhou Li'an continued to follow, and after walking about 800 meters, the abandoned house of the big landlord appeared.

The black gate, about three meters high, was closed, and a man was still standing in the doorway.

Zhou Li'an saw the middle-aged woman pay a dime to the young man, and then the door opened.

When he opened the door, Zhou Li'an saw that there were many people setting up stalls inside.

This should be the black market.

Before the young man thought she was strange, Zhou Li'an followed the example of the middle-aged woman before and gave the young man at the door a dime.

When he entered the door, the man admonished:

"Those who buy things should come out as soon as they finish buying, don't stay, and those who sell things should find a place to sell them in a proper manner."

"Okay."

After Zhou Li'an finished speaking, he entered the black market.

Seeing that someone was collecting money at the door, Zhou Li'an knew that there was someone to manage here.

After entering, I found that the sellers were all in the large courtyard of the landlord's house, neatly arranged in several rows, and looked very orderly.

Zhou Li'an looked around.

There are those who sell grain and flour like her, and there are those who sell roosters and old hens that do not lay eggs, and there are those who sell bacon and fruits, and those who sell cloth and buy fresh meat.

Zhou Li'an first found a rice seller, "Uncle, how do you buy this rice?" ”

"A dime and a pound, sister?"

"Thank you, uncle, I'll take a look."

Zhou Li'an was originally going to sell it for one dime and five pounds, but now she is also ready to sell it for one dime and eight catties.

Can't lose is a reason, at the same time, she sells a dime and a half, a pound is three points less than other people's, and everyone who knows may come to her to buy it, isn't this smashing people's business?

Zhou Li'an also went to ask about the price of flour again, and the black market flour was sold for three cents a catty, which was twice as much as she originally thought.

After understanding the approximate price, Zhou Li'an found a place, put down the basket, and began to sell grain.

In two hours, she sold 50 catties of rice and 10 catties of flour, making a total of 12 yuan.

Zhou Li'an's back basket is so big in total, and selling sixty catties of grain at once is already the limit.

So, Zhou Li'an closed the stall after selling out.

It's just that she didn't leave immediately.

She saw a bill seller.

"Do you have a bicycle ticket, comrade?"

Zhou Li'an really wants to have a bicycle.

After all, she has to deliver food every morning, and it really takes a long time to walk.

"Yes."

The man replied, then turned over a bicycle ticket to Zhou Li'an, and asked, "One hundred and five, do you want it?" ”

Zhou Li'an: "......"

She's really poor.

A bicycle ticket costs one hundred and five, plus one hundred and sixty-two yuan to buy a bicycle, and it is directly more than three hundred yuan.

She didn't!

Except for asking for six hundred yuan from Zhao Cuihua at the beginning, she has never been so rich.

She is now full of her body, plus the twelve yuan she earned from selling grain before, a total of only sixty yuan and eight cents.

couldn't afford to buy a bicycle ticket, so Zhou Li'an was angry and bought five catties of bacon.

Zhou Li'an, who had never eaten fruit since he came here, also saw apples on the black market.

"How much do apples cost a pound?"

"A pound for a piece."

Zhou Li'an, who got the reply, called it a good guy!

The best third-grade meat in the meat factory is only nine cents and four pounds, and this apple is more expensive than meat.

But obviously, the fruit still has to be eaten.

"Please give me three pounds."

Five catties of bacon and three catties of apples directly made Zhou Li'an's previous two hours dry in vain.

It's really about making money for two hours and spending money for five minutes.

It can't go on like this!

Selling it in bulk by herself, she has to work hard every day, and she doesn't like it.

Zhou Li'an thought of the young man at the gate of the black market before, and had an idea.

The black market requires entering through the front door of the landlord's house and exiting through the back door.

When Zhou Li'an went out, he found that there was also a person guarding the back door.

The front door and the back door are guarded by people who are supposed to be under the black market organizers.

So, Zhou Li'an didn't go to the front door without going far.

She took out a large apple from the basket and handed it to the doorkeeper at the back door: "Big brother, do you want to eat apples?" ”

Huang Hu: "......"

He took the apple from the hand of the girl in front of him, who was so beautiful that he couldn't talk, and guessed that the other party might be an educated youth who came here to go to the countryside, and generally the educated youth are relatively beautiful.

"Do you have a problem?"

Zhou Li'an nodded, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you people in the black market only collect door fees and don't sell things yourself?" ”

"What are you asking about this?" Huang Hu didn't give Zhou Li'an an an answer, but asked rhetorically.

"I have a person I know, she has a large amount of grain, mainly rice and flour, let me help sell it, I sell it too slowly, I want to ask you if you accept it, if you do, I will sell it to you directly."

Huang Hu didn't expect that the other party was looking for him for this.

She is an educated youth, where did she get so much grain to sell?

However, Huang Hu didn't ask much, just said, "I'll help you ask." ”

After all, after receiving other people's apples, you still have to do things.

"Okay, thank you."

Zhou Li'an felt that it was probably possible, "I'll help you guard the door." ”

"How many pounds?"

Before going to the boss, although he knew what the main thing was, he still had to ask about the quantity.

"Three thousand pounds of rice and one hundred and fifty pounds of flour." Zhou Li'an replied.

Huang Hu's eyes widened in surprise.

He originally thought that it would be a few hundred catties at most, but he didn't expect such a big deal.

His expression became serious, "You wait for me here." ”

"Done."

After Zhou Li'an finished speaking, he stood in place and began to guard the door.

Huang Hu didn't go long before he came back, and called Zhou Li'an in, "Our boss asked me to ask you to come over to negotiate the price." ”

"Okay."

Huang Hu took Zhou Li'an around the old landlord's house for five minutes, and finally stopped in front of a small house.

"Go in, our boss is waiting for you inside."

Zhou Li'an walked in and saw a very bright and young girl.

Wearing a red dress, rare and fashionable.

This is slightly different from what Zhou Li'an thought.

Zhou Li'an originally thought that the other party should not be so young, after all, he was managing the black market at this time.

"Am I negotiating a deal with you?" Zhou Li'an asked as if confirmed.

"Yes."

Xie He smiled, beckoned Zhou Li'an to sit down, and poured Zhou Li'an a cup of tea.

After Zhou Li'an drank it politely, he asked, "How much money are you going to give?" ”

"There's no hurry."

Xie He smiled and said, "I want to ask you first if there will be so much grain to sell in the future, this quantity is different, and the price is different." ”
