Song Weiguang saw a figure holding a flashlight ahead, and he knew that Su Tian was already waiting there.

He jogged over to Su Tian's side in an instant. "Su Tian, ​​you're here. Where's the melon?" he asked, panting.

“Here it is!” Su Tian shone her flashlight on the pile of melons.

"Wait a moment, Brother Qiang and the others are pushing the cart behind us, they'll be there in a few minutes. I'll sit for a while, I'm exhausted."

"Okay, take your time sitting down."

Su Tian waited patiently for a few more minutes, and then saw Ma Daqiang and the others pushing two carts over.

"Good evening, Su Zhiqing. Have you been waiting long?"

"Soon, all the melons will be there. Put them in bags and weigh them."

How much are these melons?

“The price of melons is relatively low, 2 cents a pound, is that okay?” Ma Daqiang asked Su Tian.

"Okay, let's weigh it."

After they finished speaking, they all took out their large sacks and carefully put all the pumpkins into them, filling seven large sacks.

They weighed the bags one by one, while Ma Daqiang calculated the weights.

"I've calculated it. The total weight of these melons is 566 jin (288 catties). At 2 fen (0.02 yuan) per jin, it's 11.32 yuan in total. I'll give you 11.4 yuan."

After hearing Ma Daqiang finish his calculations, Su Tian inwardly cursed herself for being stupid and foolish. On the surface, she pretended to be calm, but inside she was going crazy.

Good heavens, I worked hard all night and only got 11 yuan.

Are melons really worth so little these days? I should have planted something more valuable.

"There's enough money, no need to count it, just a little over one ten-yuan note."

Are melons really that cheap? I worked all night and only got one.

"Don't you know? The only valuable things are rice and meat."

"Vegetables and fruits are very cheap. Next time we can prepare more rice and meat," Ma Daqiang said to Su Tian.

"Okay, I got it. I'm leaving now." With that, Su Tian pounded her chest and walked away.

"Pfft..."

This Su educated youth is quite adorable; ten yuan is a lot for ordinary people.

"Brother, where did Su, the educated youth, get so much stuff?" one of the underlings asked.

"Don't ask so many questions. We just need to collect them. We don't need to know where they come from. The more you know, the worse it will be, understand?"

"I understand, I was just a little curious."

"I keep all my thoughts to myself. I'm leaving now, and I still have things to do when I get back to town."

After saying that, they put the melons on the cart and headed towards the town.

The black market they manage starts at 3 a.m. and ends at 6 a.m. They don't operate during the day for security reasons.

Therefore, people in this line of work are all night owls; they work at night and sleep during the day.

In other people's eyes, they are all lazy, gluttonous, and cunning.

But who knew that their monthly salary was almost a hundred, which was equivalent to two or three months' salary for an ordinary worker.

Su Tian returned to the educated youth settlement, climbed the courtyard wall, and finding no one around, jumped down, went inside, and locked the door.

Lying in bed, I wondered where to find rice seeds. After all, rice is valuable.

As I pondered these thoughts, I drifted off to sleep.
