Except for the Public Security Bureau and the Household Registration Office, which are a bit far away, most of them are located on both sides of the main street in the town.
Residents lived on both sides of the main street.
Chen Qing went into an alley on the left and then turned a corner.
We stopped in front of a house, knocked a few times, and the door opened.
He Wan couldn't see who it was, but she could tell it was a man's voice, probably quite young, and the two seemed to know each other well: "You're here, come in quickly."
He Wan knew that this place was a black market point in the commune. There weren't many people in the town, and there weren't many factories here. It was more like a village, and most people knew each other.
So the black market was right there in this family's house; if someone really wanted to buy something, they would just knock on the door and come over.
Some people in the nearby villages know about it, while others don't.
In short, they didn't have much stock here, so Chen Qing went to the county's black market. The description of the county's black market wasn't very clear; all that was known was that it was in an alley with an old man guarding it.
She still hasn't found it.
About ten minutes later, Chen Qing came out with a smile on his face, indicating that he had probably exchanged a lot of money.
He Wan didn't go to that courtyard, but went to the second house in the alley on the left side of the alley. She had read in a book that the man in that house worked at the vegetable station and was a director.
The first time Chen Qing sold something was at this store. He secretly took ten fish and a few chickens from his spatial storage.
"Knock knock".
Who is it?
"Hello, I'm visiting relatives from the countryside. It's harvest time, so I brought some things for my relatives, but I couldn't find my way home. I'm so thirsty, auntie, can I come to your house for a drink of water?"
That's what Chen Qing said when she first came, so when the aunt heard that, she knew that Chen Qing had come from the countryside to exchange things, and she quickly let her in.
After she came in, she was indeed given a glass of water. He Wan gulped it down and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Auntie. Oh, my dad asked me to bring a chicken to my aunt, but I have a bad memory and I don't remember the place. I've been looking around all morning and I don't want to look around anymore."
The woman smiled and said, "You don't go to your aunt's house very often, do you?"
"Yes, it's been years since I've been here."
“You’ve not been in touch with these relatives for a long time, so you’ve probably forgotten them. Your dad sent you to visit your aunt, there must be something you need.”
He Wan looked troubled: "Yes, my mother is sick, and my father asked me to come here to borrow some money for my aunt."
The woman laughed: "These days, who has much money? Once a relative asks for money, the relationship turns sour. Didn't you say you had a chicken? Why don't you give it back to me, and I can exchange it for cash, how about that?"
He Wan looked hesitant and said, "Well... alright then." As she spoke, she opened the bamboo basket and took one out for her.
The older woman naturally noticed her bamboo basket and knew what was going on, but she didn't say anything. She picked up the chicken, weighed it in her hand, and said, "This chicken is quite plump."
"Yes, in the mountains, they are well fed, and our chickens weigh more than four pounds each."
How do you want to change?
"Exchange for three yuan, no ticket required, or you can have a ticket, it depends on what kind of ticket."
"I have vegetable coupons here, for five jin (2.5 kg)."
"Okay, then just give me two yuan and fifty cents."
"Okay, I'll go get the money for you."
After the aunt went inside, He Wan waited there. Just then, a middle-aged man came in from outside and was taken aback when he saw He Wan in the yard.
He then asked, "Who are you?"
"I...I..."
