He Wan smiled and said, "I'm not taking advantage of you. I'll come here every day in the future. I have a lot of things to ask the old experts from the Ministry of Agriculture."

"real?"

"Well, you two should study hard. It will be very tiring for us to go back and forth in the future."

Zhang Cuicao said, "I am not afraid of hard work."

"Me too."

Finally, they said something to the coachman, Mr. Chen, and asked him to go first. He Wan followed them to the hospital and then to the veterinary station. They had finally come here today, so they decided not to leave.

He Wan agreed with them to wait for them at the hospital entrance at 4pm and go back together.

After sending Zhang Cuicao away, the Youth League Office took her to a department of the Extension Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, where she met a staff member who was in his forties and whose surname was Li. He often 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 were welcome to come and ask questions, or he could come and give them guidance.

These people are responsible for solving and promoting various crop problems for farmers.

He Wan said that she had just received the book, and if she had any questions in the future, she would definitely ask Instructor Li for help.

After leaving the Agricultural Bureau, the people from the Youth League Office went back.

He Wan also carried the bamboo basket and went west, heading towards the government office.

Following Chen Qing's direction last time and the description in the book, He Wan actually found the location of the black market.

It was in the second alley behind the government compound, and there were people guarding both sides of the alley entrance.

He Wan was wearing a wig, ordinary clothes, a tattered 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 out a dime from her pocket and gave it to him. The old man said, "If you hear the cuckoo call, run away."

"good."

He Wan walked in and saw that there were quite a few people, but they were all very quiet. There were quite a few stalls on both sides, all of which were selling things with a piece of cloth on top or with bamboo baskets on the ground. There were also many people selecting things or bargaining in a low voice.

Some of the good seats were already taken, so she chose the innermost corner.

Now the bamboo basket was full of meat, chicken, duck, goose, and pork. The moment her bamboo basket was opened, the aunt next to her saw it and came up to her and asked, "Comrade, how much do you sell this meat for?"

"Chicken, three pieces, duck, three pieces, goose, three dollars and a half. Pork, two dollars and a half. Fish, one dollar a piece. If you have a ticket, it's fifty cents cheaper. If you don't have a ticket, you have to pay."

The lady said with a troubled look on her face: "Comrade, what you are asking is too expensive. How about three dollars for the goose?"

He Wan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't bargain. I have slaughtered all of them, and the portions are large. Look at this big goose, it weighs at least five or six kilograms."

While He Wan was speaking, another uncle came over, asked the price, and directly ordered a chicken and two geese.

After paying the money, another person came over. The old lady no longer hesitated and quickly ordered a goose and two pounds of pork.

The young comrade who had just arrived looked at the items and said, "I want a chicken, a duck, a goose, a fish, and a pound of pork belly."

He Wan smiled and said, "Okay, comrade, you want to give me money or a ticket? It's fifty cents cheaper if you give me a ticket."

"What kind of tickets do you want?"

"Any ticket will do."

The young comrade just asked, but didn't give a ticket, he just gave the money directly.

After that person left, two more people came soon after. She knew that she would have no trouble selling these things, especially the pork.

It was around eleven o'clock when He Wan went out for a while and came back a few minutes later with a bamboo basket on her back.

Even though it was almost noon, there were still quite a lot of people there, and she sold out her basket of things in no time.

It was almost one o'clock when we were ready to leave the black market.

The young man who had been observing her for a long time and bought something from her walked to the front and asked, "What's your name, young man?"

"Just call me Xiao He."

"Brother He, my name is Jin Lao San. Do you still have those goods you just brought? If so, my eldest brother wants to meet you to discuss business matters."

He Wan took out all the meat today just to attract the attention of the black market boss.

He smiled at Jin Lao San and said, "Okay."

When Jin Laosan heard that it was a good idea, he hurriedly took her to a two-story building in a courtyard at the edge of the alley. He Wan was sure that the situation in the alley could definitely be seen from here.
