The man quickly turned around and apologized. Su Mianmian looked at the man who was in a hurry and saw that he was holding a basket of cakes in his hand, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother, where did you buy this? I want to buy some too."
The man raised his head, and when he heard Su Mianmian's question, his eyes suddenly changed. "I bought it from the supply and marketing cooperative."
After saying this, he was about to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by Su Mianmian.
Su Mianmian looked at him with a firm expression, "Brother, this place is quite far from the supply and marketing cooperative, and the way you came here is not the direction to the supply and marketing cooperative."
Seeing that the man didn't say anything, Su Mianmian put on a sad face and said, "My sister and I really don't mean any harm. It's just that my sister-in-law is about to give birth, and we want to buy two old hens to nourish her body."
"Yes, brother, just tell us. We really don't mean any harm to each other." Su Qingqing understood what Su Mianmian meant and pulled his sleeve to agree.
Seeing the two girls' sincerity, the man sighed and said, "You two, just keep walking along this road and turn left in front."
After saying that, he quickly broke free from his arm and said worriedly, "You two, be careful."
Su Qingqing nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother."
After everyone left, Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing smiled at each other, found a secluded place, entered the space, and changed into the outfits of a man and a woman as last time.
After getting dressed up, Su Mianmian put the fruits she picked last time into the backpack they brought.
Su Qingqing looked at the two baskets full of fruit and asked, "Mianmian, what about your pot?"
Su Mianmian thought for a moment, found a large sack, and put the pot in it. "You take this, and I'll take these two backpacks."
Su nodded gently, and after the two of them packed up, they left the space and walked in the direction that the man pointed.
This place was not far from the black market. It took them about ten minutes to reach the entrance of the black market. There were two people guarding the entrance.
The same rhetoric, but the charges in this black market were much lower than those in Beijing, only two cents. Su Mianmian handed him four cents and walked in with Su Qingqing.
The two of them found a deserted place and put down the backpack and sack. Su Mianmian thought for a moment and opened the sack a little.
The two of them sat quietly. Most people who came to the black market were there to buy food, so no one came to their side.
Su Mianmian was not in a hurry. She squatted down, took out two peaches, wiped them leisurely, and handed one to Su Qingqing. The two began to eat.
People passing by were tempted by the two people's food. At this time, a young woman in new clothes came over and asked, "How much is this?"
Su Qingqing didn't know the price of these peaches. Few people sold peaches these days, so she just made up an excuse, "Girl, these peaches are one yuan per pound. They're a bit expensive, but they're juicy and sweet. Take a look at these two of ours. They're guaranteed to be delicious."
Seeing this, Su Qingqing quickly handed the remaining peach to the young woman. The peach was still juicy and looked very tempting.
The young woman swallowed unconsciously and hardened her heart, "Give me two pounds."
Su Mianmian immediately smiled happily, "Okay, sister." She quickly packed it up, and the young woman quickly paid the money and left.
A man selling mung bean cakes next to them heard them eating and became greedy, so he asked Su Mianmian to buy a pound of mung bean cakes.
"Brother, what's that next to you?" The man selling mung bean cakes pointed to the sack.
Seeing this, Su Qingqing made the sack a little bigger and said, "It's just a small pot."
The man looked at the pot, which was just the right size, and became interested. "How much is this pot?"
He remembered that his eldest nephew had gotten married, and both of them worked in the city and needed some household expenses.
This pot is just enough for two people.
Su Qingqing looked at Su Mianmian. Su Mianmian remembered that she had spent 17 yuan and three industrial tickets when she bought it. The prices in this place were lower than in Beijing. She thought for a moment and said, "Brother, the price is 16 yuan without tickets."
The man was a little embarrassed. It was a bit expensive. Their pot, which was a little bigger than this one, only cost 20 yuan.
Seeing this, Su Mianmian said again: "Brother, look at this pot, it's absolutely a good product. My eldest brother brought it over from Beijing."
Su Qingqing quickly took out the pot after hearing what Su Mianmian said and handed it to him, "Brother, take a look, my wife is right, my brother-in-law is from the transport team. It's definitely good stuff."
The man was tempted by what the two said. He took it and looked at it carefully, nodding repeatedly. "It's pretty good. Okay, I'll buy it."
After saying that, he took out sixteen dollars and handed it to Su Qingqing.
Su Qingqing handed the money to Su Mianmian and picked up the big sack. "Brother, use this sack to fill it so you can get more."
The man laughed, "Hey! Thanks a lot, big brother, big sister."
Su Qingqing also laughed and waved her hand.
After buying the pot, they saw that there were still a lot of peaches left, so they decided to wait a little longer.
After buying the pot, the man took out the peach he had just bought, wiped it casually, tasted it, and exclaimed sincerely: "It's so sweet."
He thought for a while and said, "Brother, give me two more pounds." He went back and let his family taste it.
Su Qingqing: "Okay!"
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing worked together, one collecting the money while the other weighed the goods. Soon they sold quite a few more.
Seeing that there were only four or five peaches left, the two thought it was about time, so they packed up their stall and prepared to go find Su Guangbai and the others.
The man next to them smiled when he saw the two of them were about to leave. "Brother, come back next time and I'll be there. I'll protect you!"
Su Qingqing: "Of course, of course. Thank you, big brother."
The two of them packed up and walked out with the backpacks on their backs.
I had only taken a few steps when I saw a group of people gathered in front of me, making a lot of noise.
Su Mianmian's face changed. She pulled Su Qingqing's hand and prepared to quickly avoid the crowd, but she saw several men in front of her surrounding an old woman and beating her.
Su Qingqing's face was ugly. The old woman was thin and said weakly:
"You beasts, I'm just exchanging some food for me and my grandson, and you're trying to steal even this little bit of mine. Are you even human?"
Su Qingqing thought of her grandmother, with a look of pity on her face, she pulled Su Mianmian's hand.
Su Mianmian looked at the old woman like this and didn't rush to intervene. He asked the others around, "Sister, what's going on?"
When the woman heard Su Mianmian ask this, she looked at the men with disgust and said:
"This old woman traded her gold bracelet for food, but these people tried to lower the price. She refused and was about to leave when they started to rob her. This group of people often does this, but no one in the black market can stop them. They say they have the black market boss behind them, so no one dares to mess with them."
At this point she added viciously, "It would be great if these evil people were caught."
When Su Mianmian heard this, she couldn't help but hand her backpack to Su Qingqing.
Then she clenched her fists, walked forward, and kicked away the man who was about to snatch something from the old woman.
