Early the next morning, she went to the black market as usual. Pingyuan City was also a small city, a fifth-tier city in today's terms, so there was only one black market here, but the black market here was free for trading.
After finding the black market, she went to the scrap collection station, where there were many more things than in Dalu Town. She also found a lot of newspapers and books that were useful to her, including those for elementary and middle schools.
Of course, there are no antiques or furniture like those in novels. Novels are just novels after all! Lin Ximan sighed after complaining in her heart.
Thinking about the 40 yuan in her pocket and the era she lived in, she realized that she had to do this black market business. In a strange world, perhaps only money could give her a sense of security.
When she was leaving the black market for the third time with the basket on her back, she was stopped by two people.
"Hey, kid, where did you get your stuff?" The two men's opening remarks were fine. At least they didn't ask for money directly, so it seemed they were not robbers.
She wasn't wearing a wig. Her head, which had been shaved last year, had only grown a little over an inch. She looked like a boy, and the clothes she was wearing were also men's.
"I'm just running errands for someone, so I can't tell you where I came from. What can I do for you?" Lin Ximan was not panicked. The skills she had acquired in the last days gave her confidence.
"I can't tell you anything. Just tell us who you're running errands for and I'll give you some candy." A slightly fatter man squatted down and said to her with a smile on his face.
"Uncle, let's not talk about fooling children. This is not the first time I have been to the black market. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
"Oh! You little brat are quite smart. Let me ask you, I want to take the goods from you, can you make the decision?" asked another thin guy with a wicked smile.
"Of course I am. I am just here to sell things on the black market. And can you guys make the final decision on this deal?" Lin Ximan raised her eyebrows and asked back.
"Okay, kid!" Having said that, he looked around and continued, "This is not a place to talk. Do you dare to go somewhere else with me?"
Lin Ximan smiled and nodded, "Let's go." She was really not afraid. She had skills and there were many wooden warehouses in the space. The reason why she only did business this time was because her body looked like a child and she was too targeted. Moreover, she was doing bulk business. Once discovered by the government, it would be a problem for her to go out in the future.
The two men smiled and walked one after the other, holding Lin Ximan in the middle, towards their destination. In fact, under normal circumstances, they would not bring Lin Ximan to the base for the first discussion. It might be that Lin Ximan's child image was too deceptive, which made them let down their guard.
They went through several alleys in twists and turns to confuse people so that they couldn't find their lair. Ten minutes later, they stopped at a gate.
After knocking on the door twice, the thin man in front called out, "Second son, Qie is here, open the door quickly." (Qi is pronounced as qie, with three tones, and is the Northeastern people's way of addressing guests.) The knocking and calling on the door seemed ordinary, but who knows how many secret codes were hidden inside.
Those who do business in the black market have their lives and property tied to their belts, so it is normal for them to be cautious in everything. Lin Ximan is willing to do business with such people, as it is a win-win situation for both sides.
The person who opened the door was a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old. "Third brother is back, come in!" The boy opened the door and welcomed the three men in.
There were seven or eight people standing or sitting in the yard, and they were all strong laborers. Ordinary people would not be able to make any money here.
When they walked into the courtyard, a young man in his mid-twenties stepped out from the crowd and asked with a look of disdain, "Hey, Zhao Saner, is the Qi you mentioned this little bastard? I think you are going backwards."
Lin Ximan felt uncomfortable being scolded for no reason and wanted to slap him twice, but she gave up the idea when she thought about doing business. She turned back and asked Zhao San: "Who is this 250? Is this how your family treats Qi?"
Zhao San also said with a frown, "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean? Is there any problem with me bringing Qi back? My elder brother hasn't said anything yet, what are you talking about?"
The idiot Zhang ignored Zhao San and instead yelled at Lin Ximan, "You little bastard, you dare to yell at me? I think you deserve a beating!" He then raised his hand to hit her.
Lin Ximan was completely furious. Damn it! If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm HELLO KITTY? So Lin Ximan didn't tolerate it. It was up to her whether she could do business with him or not. She was determined to deal with him.
Instead of retreating, she grabbed the idiot's arm and threw him out with an over-the-shoulder throw. Then she flew over and used her knee as a weapon to hit the idiot's throat. She raised her left hand and slapped him in the face. Then she reached behind her waist with her right hand and put a pistol at the top of the idiot's head.
At this time, everyone in the yard reacted. Zhao San hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them: "Hey, hey, kid, calm down, calm down, this guy is a jerk, ignore him, we are here to do business, let's talk inside, talk inside." At this time, no one treated Lin Ximan as a teenager anymore.
Lin Ximan looked at the man under her, curled her lips and sneered, tapped him on the face with the gun and said: "Be more careful next time, I am not someone you can afford to mess with." After saying that, she stood up and followed Zhao San into the house.
After sitting down, Zhao San went into the inner room. A moment later, a man in his thirties came out. He looked at Lin Ximan who was sitting there and nodded with a smile. He looked her up and down with his slightly narrowed eyes.
Perhaps he could never imagine how a girl in her teens could be so powerful and so skilled in playing with guns, which made the eldest brother sitting at the top wary of her.
"You're quite skilled, little brother!" The big boss praised Lin Ximan with a smile, "At my age, if I want to make a living like this, people won't give me the job if I don't have some skills, right? Otherwise, not only will I lose the things, I'm afraid I'll even lose my life."
Now that the claws have been revealed, Lin Ximan doesn't care about anything else. It would be best if she could scare them away. She doesn't want to kill anyone. She has killed enough zombies in her previous life.
"I wonder what goods you have, little brother?"
This eldest brother now treats Lin Ximan as an equal. This child is not simple. This child may really be the one in charge of this business.
"I have many varieties of goods. I wonder what kind of goods you need and how much quantity you need? What price can you offer?" It's a one-time transaction anyway, so the more the better.
"Young man, can you tell me specifically what it is? We can talk about the rest in detail later." The boss asked while sipping the tea in his hand.
"Food, oil, meat, eggs, poultry, sugar, cotton, all kinds of cloth, wool, watches, fresh vegetables, southern fruits, seafood, all these things I can provide." She was really not afraid of these people thinking about her. If she couldn't do it, she would just do it. At most, Pingyuan City would have one less black market problem.
But when the boss heard this, he was in a state of panic. I'm afraid even the leaders can't eat these things in this season? Where did this child get it?
