As soon as Yao Tongjia got off the car, she couldn't go around asking where the black market was. She could only go to the hospital first. In this day and age, people who can go to the hospital are basically only two types of people.

One group consists of wealthy people and seriously ill patients. Wealthy people will definitely buy things to nourish the sick person, while seriously ill people have no choice but to stay in the hospital.

They'd rather tighten their belts than not buy something good for the patient. Anyway, going to the hospital was the right thing to do. After getting directions, Yao Tongjia headed towards the hospital.

After observing, Yao Tongjia indeed discovered that many people went into that alley empty-handed and came out carrying things, and they were basically led there by an older woman and two clever young men.

Yao Tongjia pretended to look around, glancing at the hospital entrance. Sure enough, she quickly attracted the attention of an older woman, who walked up to Yao Tongjia and asked, "Girl, are you going to see a patient? Is something missing?"

Yao Tongjia nodded: "Auntie, what do you have there?"

The middle-aged woman looked around and said, "I have malted milk powder, eggs, whole chickens, pork, and everything else. What do you want?"

Do you have baby formula?

"Baby formula? Baby formula is hard to get and expensive. I don't have any. You can just buy malted milk powder instead."

"Milk powder is more nutritious and more expensive than malted milk powder!"

The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes at the people on the roadside: "Who doesn't know that baby formula is expensive? But how do you get your hands on it?"

Unexpectedly, Yao Tongjia said something surprising: "I have some here, do you want them?"

"What? You have baby formula? Let me see!"

Yao Tongjia handed over a bag of milk powder that had been prepared in advance. It was unclear whether General Manager Zhang wanted to repackage it, but there was not a single word on it. It was a transparent plastic bag containing 250 grams of milk powder.

The older women's eyes lit up when they saw the baby formula. You know, baby formula is a scarce commodity, and with baby formula, they can earn more money. But is this really baby formula?

"Honey, can you open this and take a look?"

Yao Tongjia nodded, took the bag, tore a small opening, and poured a little into the old woman's palm. The old woman didn't mind that her hands were dirty and licked them a few times with her tongue.

The woman nodded in satisfaction: "This is definitely milk powder, and it tastes so much better than the milk powder I had last time!"

Modern technology is far superior to that of this era, so milk powder is naturally much more fragrant.

"Honey, look how much formula you have! How much does one bag cost?"

There's plenty of room for this milk powder, probably several thousand bags, but she doesn't dare sell that many at once. She just wants to scrape together 1,000 yuan for ginseng.

“Seven yuan a bag, no coupon needed, I have 200 bags,” Yao Tongjia whispered to the older woman.

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard there were 200 bags, but she immediately became dissatisfied when she heard the price: "Girl, you're being unfair! I sell this bag for 8 yuan, and you're giving me 7 yuan!"

Yao Tongjia was also afraid that talking to the older woman for too long would attract the attention of others, so she was about to leave: "I'm giving you a fair price. If you think it's okay, then buy it. If not, then I'm leaving!"

When the older woman saw Yao Tongjia about to leave, she hurriedly grabbed her, saying, "Girl, it's only natural to bargain. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Honey, you see, there's a risk involved in buying this. Can you give me a smaller portion?"

Yao Tongjia couldn't stay here for too long; she needed to catch the last bus back: "I'll give you a 50 cents discount, let's do the deal right away, I need to go back!"

The woman hesitated for a long time before saying, "Okay, where shall we make the transaction?"

As Yao Tongjia walked over, she saw an abandoned courtyard behind the hospital. Pointing at the courtyard, she said, "If you come to trade with me, you can bring at most one kid. I have people backing me, so don't even think about taking advantage of me."

"Don't miss out on the benefits later. I'll take care of everything for you. If this deal goes well, I'll come back to you next time and make sure you get the only one of your kind."

The woman was startled, but suppressed her other thoughts: "Look at the daughter you're talking about. Your aunt isn't that kind of person. Go and prepare quickly. 200 bags for 1300 yuan, right?"

Yao Tongjia thought for a moment and said, "Give me some pork bones and ten catties of pork."

The woman nodded: "The bones aren't worth much, I'll give them to you for free. I'll give you 10 yuan for 10 jin of pork, so that's 1290 yuan, right?"

Yao Tongjia nodded: "That's right!" Pork on the black market is more expensive, but it doesn't require coupons, so the price is fair.

The woman immediately said, "I'll go prepare the money right now, and we can make the transaction in half an hour. Is that alright?"

Yao Tongjia nodded in agreement: "Okay!"

The two separated to prepare. Yao Tongjia came to the abandoned courtyard. She looked around and saw that no one was there. She then slipped into the space, looked at the pile of goods, and found a bunch of stun guns.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Although her mother in her previous life knew she was going to die soon, she sent her to learn boxing, and she continued to learn it. However, her body was still not strong enough.

She can handle one older woman, but she probably doesn't stand much of a chance against two. It's better to be prepared. If all else fails, she can hide in her spatial dimension, but she can't move around in that dimension, so she can only wait in place to escape.

The captain's letter of introduction only lasted one day, so she absolutely had to go back today. Her family must be worried if she didn't go back. She had to make sure the transaction was completed safely today.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the older woman came over with a young boy. Yao Tongjia looked through the space and saw that no one was following them. Thank goodness!

However, Yao Tongjia did not let her guard down. When the old woman arrived at the abandoned courtyard, her body was facing outwards, as if she was ready to run away at any moment.

The older woman may have been genuinely interested in the deal, or she may have been truly afraid that Yao Tongjia would take them all down. In any case, Yao Tongjia received a thick bundle of money and accepted it.

He kicked the cardboard box at his feet and said, "You guys count them too, check if there are 200 bags of milk powder."

Both sides counted their money cautiously, then simultaneously revealed satisfied smiles: "The amount is correct!"

Yao Tongjia took the basket the old woman had placed on the ground and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I'll be going now!"

As Yao Tongjia walked slowly, her heart was pounding. She held a stun gun in her hand, ready to strike anyone who dared to attack her.

Fortunately, the woman was sensible. She deliberately took several detours and no one followed her. Then she put the basket into her spatial storage and ran quickly to catch the bus. She didn't even dare to visit the supply and marketing cooperative.

The car arrived quickly. Yao Tongjia got in, and her pounding heart finally calmed down. Thinking of the 1290 yuan in her space, she felt a little relieved. Now her family could have meat to eat!

The car started moving quickly, and Yao Tongjia, who had relaxed in the swaying vehicle, took a nap. When she woke up, the car had already arrived in town.

Yao Tongjia quickly went to a secluded spot, took out her basket with only a few bones on it, and then got into the oxcart to go back.
