Chapter 46: Catching the Thief
"Oh, that's for the best."
Luo Jingyan asked the black tiger: "You little guy, you won't eat chickens in the future." ”
"The master's things, I will only protect."
Luo Jingyan stroked its head: "Good enough." ”
As soon as Luo Jingyan turned around, the black tiger jumped into the chicken nest and lay on top of those eggs, its fluffy body covered all the eggs under it, at first glance, it really had the posture of an old hen hatching eggs, but now, it should be called a male cat hatching eggs.
When Luo Jingyan saw it, she couldn't help but feel funny: "Black Tiger, do you want to help me hatch chicks?" ”
"Master, I just think it's fun."
"If you keep the chicks warm when they're out of the shell, the chicks are likely to think of you as their mother."
The black tiger shook his head: "It doesn't matter, anyway, they and I have to survive in the master's space, whatever they do to me." ”
"Okay, you're going to be the mother cat of the chicks."
Luo Jingyan walked out of the space, she was going to prepare to invite Xue Yanchen to dinner, there was no meat in her space, and it was not good to invite Xue Yanchen to eat, it seemed insincere. She needs to buy some meat and come back, but she doesn't have a local meat ticket, and the only place where she can buy meat is on the black market.
Thinking of the black market, she contacted the grain in her own space, which she harvested and stored from the field, and was almost piled up in the warehouse, before she went to the countryside, she had no chance to sell it on the black market in the Beijing market, and when she got here, she must sell as much as possible to accumulate wealth for herself.
She took an ox cart to the county seat, and as soon as she got off the car, she began to look for a black market in the county seat.
According to the previous experience of looking for a black market in Beijing, such places are generally located in relatively narrow and hidden alleys because they cannot see the light, and the black market here should be the same.
The county is very large, you can't blindly look for it, the black market and the supply and marketing cooperatives are the same places to sell things, but they are one is bright, one is dark, based on peer competition and the position of black and white opposition, the location of the black market should be far away from the supply and marketing cooperatives, so the area of the supply and marketing cooperatives is excluded first.
The supply and marketing cooperatives are in the center of the county, so she will go to the west to find them first.
She crossed the street and easily found an alley, but it was not enough to just find the alley, it also depended on the number of people coming in and out of that alley, and if those people were still holding things, it was more likely that there was a black market in it.
She searched for about two hours, and the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, and the target finally appeared.
Three or four people walked out of an alley with baskets or cloth bags, and as soon as they came out of the alley, they still looked cautious, and Luo Jingyan concluded that the alley was a black market.
She went up to stop the two old ladies carrying baskets, "Two aunts, we have no food at home, and the family is almost hungry, please sell me some food to solve my urgent need." ”
The eldest lady saw that she was quite pitiful, and said, "Girl, we don't sell grain, but we still buy it, and our family is hungry." ”
"Auntie, it's okay if you don't sell me grain, you tell me, where did you buy your grain, I'll buy it myself?"
"Over there." The eldest lady pointed into the alley.
The other lady tugged at her sleeve and glanced at her, as if she was blaming her for being nosy, and she shouldn't have told Luo Jingyan about the black market.
She smiled awkwardly: "It's not that this little girl is pitiful, I don't think she has a bad heart, she will be fine." ”
Luo Jingyan hurriedly proved her innocence, "Two aunts, I am indeed selling grain, and I can't open the pot at home, thank you for telling me where to buy the grain, I am grateful." ”
The first lady said: "Little girl, don't blame yourself, I believe in you." I told you that there are a lot of things sold in it, including grain, vegetables, and other daily necessities, so you can go quickly, but you should be careful when you go in. ”
"I will, Auntie. Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Auntie. Luo Jingyan thanked the eldest lady repeatedly: "Auntie, you are a good person, and a good person will definitely have a good reward." ”
"All right, little girl, go. Remember, be careful when you go in. ”
"Got it, auntie, thank you."
After the eldest lady finished instructing, she left, and Luo Jingyan found a corner with a person on her back and entered the space.
This time, she turned herself into a young man, because men are more deterrent and not easy to be hacked, and when it comes to inspection, it is normal to run away quickly and will not be suspected.
After changing her outfit, she carried the basket on her back and walked out of the space to the entrance of the black market.
At the entrance of each black market, there is a person in charge of guarding the gate, and the gatekeeper stops her: "Buy or sell?" ”
Luo Jingyan let him look at his empty basket: "Comrade, I'll buy it." ”
"A dime for the entrance fee."
"Okay."
She quickly took a dime out of her pocket, handed it to the janitor, and was allowed in.
When you go inside, there is a courtyard with a lot of things to sell, which can be seen as a small free market.
Some of these sellers put their items on the ground for customers to choose from, while others are looking for buyers on their own.
Luo Jingyan thought about it for a while, she didn't rush to sell things first, she didn't know the situation of the black market here, so let's get familiar with it first, at least figure out the details of the boss of the black market here.
If she meets a black market boss who likes to eat black when she sells a large amount of grain, she will not only suffer a loss, but I am afraid that her life will be in danger.
She is not short of money now, and there is no need to rush and take risks.
She plans to buy a small amount of things first, and then have a suitable opportunity to sell the things in the space in large quantities later.
Before selling things, she didn't have a scale, so she couldn't sell blindly. Otherwise, the buyer will not agree.
She found a pole scale seller, spent a dollar, and bought a kilogram scale from the other party.
I quietly took out rice and apples from the space and put them in the back basket.
An old lady came up to her and asked, "Young man, do you have any food?" ”
"Yes, auntie, don't vote for five cents a pound of rice, I still have apples here, which are also five cents a pound."
"Young man, I want to see what you look like."
"Auntie, don't worry, it's definitely good rice."
The eldest lady looked at it, sniffed it again, and was very satisfied: "Young man, give me ten catties." I see that your apple is not bad, so give me five catties. ”
"Okay, auntie."
In less than an hour, she sold all the things in the basket and counted the money in her hand, a total of thirty-four yuan, which is quite a lot in this era.
This is the first time she has come to this world to earn money, and she is already very satisfied.
She was selling grain just now while observing whether there were any characters such as the little brother of the black market boss who paid attention to her, probably because she was not the heroine, and she couldn't let people see the halo on her head at a glance and take the initiative to find her.
She found a meat seller and spent ten yuan to buy five catties of high-quality pork belly.
She thinks that the meat is superior, but in the eyes of others, it is average, most people like to eat big fat meat, and think that there is more fat on the big fat meat, no matter what it is made, it is more fragrant than pork belly.
After she finished buying the meat, she waited for a while, but after all, she didn't wait for the little brother who came to the black market boss's side, she decided to go home.
After leaving the black market, she found a no-man's corner again and took off her makeup, she didn't leave the basket in the space, but carried it out of the space, her basket was empty, and when she got to the ox cart, she took something from the space and put it inside.
She was walking in the alley when she suddenly heard a rush of footsteps behind her, approaching her from far and near. Then, she felt that her back basket sank, as if something had been put in, and at the same time, a figure quickly flashed in front of him, and fled in the direction of the mouth of the alley, and before running out of the alley, he turned his head to look at her, and then disappeared without a trace.
It should have been something he threw into his back basket just now, and there must be something wrong with why the man stuffed something into her back basket for no reason.
Since there is something wrong with the things, you must hide them first, so that you can't let yourself be affected.
She quickly put things into the space, and the next second, a group of people chased after her, and one of them stopped and asked her, "Little girl, do you see a person running from here?" ”
"Yes, he ran outside the alley."
The men listened to her words and hurried after her.
Luo Jingyan patted her chest, these people chased after the person just now, it must have something to do with what that person put in her back basket, and it was definitely not something obtained by serious means.
After the alley quieted down, Luo Jingyan heard the voice of the black tiger coming from the space: [Congratulations master, you got the baby again. 】
[Hmm.] Could it be hers that is in her hands?
She didn't ask about the Black Tiger until she got home and saw for herself what it was.
She carried a basket to find an ox cart, and when she passed by the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw an old lady just out of the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, and a figure flashed, and the bag she was carrying in her hand was dragged away.
The old lady moved slowly, the thief was agile, and after grabbing the bag, she ran away quickly, and the old lady stomped her feet angrily, pointed in the direction where the thief ran away, and shouted: "There is a thief, there is a thief, he took my bag, who will help me chase the thief." ”
Well, although Luo Jingyan is not a good person, she still has the enthusiasm she should have.
She put down the basket, "Grandma, don't panic, I'll help you chase it." ”
After saying this, she swished, like a gust of wind, and chased in the direction of the thief's escape.
The old lady didn't see who this girl was, she was gone, it was really like a gust of wind, coming and going in a hurry.
Luo Jingyan is good at skills, and naturally runs fast, and it didn't take long to catch up with the thief and snatch the old lady's bag in his hand.
