Even though Captain Sun helped to block the wind along the way, Chu Tian's limbs were already frozen stiff by the time he arrived at the entrance of the regiment's purchasing station. He stood on the ground and jumped back and forth for a long time before he felt better.

Captain Sun said, "Chu Tian, ​​we have to go back around twelve o'clock."

Chu Tian, ​​"Captain, I understand. I'll go buy some things and come back soon..."

There is an alarm clock in Chu Tian's space, but he doesn't know the exact time now, so he can only ask someone later...

After saying goodbye to Captain Sun and others, Chu Tian first found a deserted place, used the cosmetics stored in the space to darken his face a lot, and also put a lot of pockmarks on his face. He used the basket and cloth bag he took from Old Chu's house, filled some rice and flour, and walked in the opposite direction of the supply and marketing cooperative.

After walking for about ten minutes, Chu Tian saw many people carrying backpacks or baskets, which were covered with cloth tacitly, and walking stealthily into an alley.

He stood not far away and observed for a long time, and found that those who went in with things came out soon with a relaxed look and a smile on their faces, while some went in empty-handed and came out with a cloth bag...

Chu Tian was sure that this was the place for black market transactions described in all the novels. He took out a small mirror from his arms and looked at his appearance. Well, it was very good. He couldn't even recognize himself if he was so ugly. So he carried the backpack with satisfaction and walked towards the alley with a proud and confident look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I was stopped by a burly man. "What do you do? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Sell some things..."

The burly man looked Chu Tian up and down and said, "Do you know the rules? You have to pay five cents to sell things..."

Chu Tian was stunned. He had been observing for so long, but he hadn't seen anyone paying. He was puzzled and asked.

"But, no one handed it in just now..."

Hearing this, the sturdy man grinned and said, "I can tell from the looks of it that you've never been to the black market. Many people who come to the black market sell goods first and then pay. I don't see you, so..."

Chu Tian was speechless. After thinking for a while, he rolled his eyes and moved closer to the burly man, using his clothes as a cover. He took out a Snow Lotus cigarette from his pocket, which was actually a space, and handed it to the burly man.

"Brother, please be kind. This is my first time here and I don't know the rules. I don't have any money on me. Can I make up for it after I sell the goods?"

Chu Tian didn't think about saving the five-cent entrance fee. He had to pay it, which was equivalent to a protection fee. If a patrol team came, they could notify him in time to avoid losing more than they gained.

The sturdy man looked at the cigarette in Chu Tian's hand, his eyes widened, "Brother, this, this cigarette, it's obviously a fine product, you, are you willing to give it to me?"

Chu Tian stuffed the cigarette into the burly man's hand and said generously, "My younger brother has just arrived, so I hope you can take good care of me. This cigarette was given to me by someone else. It's said to be a special supply. I'm just offering this as a token of my gratitude. It's nothing..."

Actually, the cigarettes Chu Tian gave him were not high-end cigarettes, but just the cheapest Snow Lotus cigarettes in modern times. However, even if they were the cheapest ones, they looked much better than the high-end ones here in the 1960s and 1970s... However, Chu Tian only dared to smoke one cigarette at a time, and he would never take out the whole box with the outer packaging.

The strong man was ecstatic when he heard this. He picked up the cigarette and put it to his nose and sniffed it again and again. He had smoked cigarettes before, and he knew that this was the best of the best when he smelled it. He took a few deep puffs of the flavor, but in the end he couldn't bear to smoke it, so he carefully put it in his arms. He planned to take it home at noon for his grandfather to smoke.

Li Gang patted Chu Tian's shoulder happily, "Brother, what's your name? My name is Li Gang, and I'm the second-in-command of the black market. If you come to the black market in the future and anyone gives you trouble, you can come to me. Or if you want to buy something big, you can also come to me."

"Thank you, Brother Li. My name is Chu Fei."

Chu Tian didn't expect that the burly man in front of him was so straightforward, or even naive, and told him his identity so blatantly? But he was also happy to hear it. It seemed that he could get to know him more in the future...
