Su Ranran said, "Yes, I don't like taking advantage of others; it just doesn't feel right."
He Wan smiled and said, "I didn't take advantage of you. I will come every day from now on. I have many things to ask the old experts in the Ministry of Agriculture."
"real?"
"Yes, you two study hard. It will be very tiring for us to travel back and forth in the future."
Zhang Cuicao said, "I'm not afraid of hard work."
"Me too."
Finally, they said goodbye to Grandpa Chen who was rushing to catch the bus, and let him go first. He Wan followed the two of them to the hospital and then to the veterinary station. Since they had finally come all this way, the two of them decided not to leave.
He Wan told them that she would wait for them at the hospital entrance at four o'clock in the afternoon to go back together.
After seeing Zhang Cuicao off, the educated youth office took her to a department of the Ministry of Agriculture's Extension Center, where she met a staff member, a man in his forties surnamed Li, who frequently went to the countryside during the spring planting season and was mainly responsible for increasing grain production.
When Instructor Li heard that she was an educated youth, he smiled and said that they, as educated youth, were welcome to come and ask questions, or he could come and provide guidance.
These people are there to solve and promote various problems related to crops for farmers.
He Wan said she had just received the book and would definitely ask Instructor Li for help if she had any questions in the future.
After leaving the Agriculture Bureau, the people from the Youth Affairs Office went back home.
He Wan also carried a bamboo basket and went to the west, heading towards the government offices.
Following Chen Qing's directions and the descriptions in the book, He Wan actually found the black market.
It's in the second alley behind the government compound, and there are guards on both sides of the alley entrance.
He Wan was wearing a wig, ordinary clothes, a worn-out hat, and makeup, covering herself up as she walked to the entrance of the alley.
The old man looked at her and asked, "Buy or sell?"
"Sell."
"One cent."
He Wan took a dime out of her pocket and gave it to him. The old man said, "If you hear a cuckoo calling, run away quickly."
"good."
He Wan went inside and saw that there were quite a few people, but they were all quite quiet. There were many stalls on both sides, with people putting a piece of cloth or a bamboo basket on the ground. Many people were picking out things or bargaining quietly.
Some of the good spots were already taken, so she chose a corner at the very back.
The bamboo basket is now full of meat: chicken, duck, goose, and pork.
The moment her bamboo basket was opened, an older woman nearby saw it and came up to ask, "Comrade, how much is this meat?"
"Chicken, three pieces; duck, three pieces; goose, 35 cents; pork, 2.5 yuan; fish, 1 yuan each, 50 cents off if you have a ticket, pay if you don't."
The old woman looked conflicted and said, "Comrade, this is too expensive. How about three yuan for the goose?"
After finishing his drink, he laughed and said, "Auntie, no bargaining. These are all already slaughtered and the portions are generous. Look at this goose, each one weighs at least five or six pounds."
As He Wan was speaking, another uncle came over, asked the price, and directly ordered a chicken and two geese.
After paying, another person came over, and the old lady no longer hesitated. She quickly ordered a goose and two catties of pork.
The young man who had just arrived looked around and said, "I want a chicken, a duck, a goose, a fish, and a pound of pork belly."
He Wan smiled and said, "Alright, comrade, will you give me money or a ticket? A ticket will save you 50 cents."
What kind of tickets do you need?
"Any ticket will do."
The young man simply asked a question, but didn't give him a ticket; he just paid him directly.
After the first two people left, two more arrived shortly afterward, and she knew that she wouldn't have trouble selling her goods, especially the pork.
Around 11 o'clock, He Wan went out for a while and came back in a little while later carrying a bamboo basket.
Even though it was almost noon, there were still quite a lot of people. Her basket of goods sold out in no time.
We didn't leave the black market until around 1:00 AM.
The young man who had been observing her for a long time and bought one of each item from her stepped forward and asked, "What's your name, sir?"
"Just call me Xiao He."
"Brother He, my name is Jin Laosan. Do you still have those goods you just had? If so, my elder brother would like to meet you and discuss business."
He Wan brought out all the meat today to attract the attention of the black market boss.
The third son of the Chao Jin family smiled and said, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Jin Laosan quickly led her to a courtyard house on the edge of the alley. It was a two-story building, and He Wan was certain that they could see everything happening in the alley from there.
