Chapter 315 Black Market Investigated

In those days, industry was not developed and jobs were in short supply.

It is no exaggeration to say that every radish has its own pit.

The reason why educated youth went to the countryside on a large scale was mainly because there were no jobs.

So many young people can't just wander around the city idle.

The scale of the "Up to the Countryside and Mountainous Areas" movement during this era was so huge that it also indirectly reflected how backward the country's industry was.

As a military wife, it should be easier for me to be assigned work than for others.

But in fact, the employment rate of military wives here is even lower than that on Pingzhou Island.

Because the economy of Qi County is much worse than that of Lianning County, it doesn't even have a decent processing plant.

The entire county basically relies on agricultural development.

Military wives don't have jobs, so it's not their responsibility to take care of this matter.

But Su Ranran had a special liking for the military wives here since the first day she met them.

People are thousands of kilometers away, but are all learning from her silently in this corner.

It was hard for Su Ranran not to be moved by their Akagi.

She had actually always considered running a pig feed processing plant, but there was no suitable alternative to the raw materials.

Now seeing this old news, Su Ranran's thoughts began to come alive again.

However, this time she did not intend to let the county directly undertake the factory.

The military was only banned from doing business after the 1990s.

Although individuals were not allowed to run businesses in those days, it would be fine if the family home ran the factory as an organization.

But she had to solve the problem of the source of raw materials first.

The pig feed processing plant's matter has been resolved, and Su Ranran's face showed a rare hint of excitement.

I rode my bike to the Agriculture Bureau.

On the other side, Fang Zhirou parked her bicycle at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and locked it, then entered a small alley.

The alley was winding, and she turned left and right like she was used to it. She didn't know how long it had been before she finally arrived at a secluded courtyard.

Standing outside the yard gate, she looked around and made sure that there was no one around before she imitated two bird calls.

Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard from inside.

The door was first opened a crack, and a thin woman behind the door squinted at her.

After recognizing her face, he quietly opened the door.

Fang Zhirou went in carrying her bag.

The woman stuck her head out of the door again, checked to make sure there was no one outside, and then closed the door.

After Fang Zhirou entered the room, she went straight to a room without the woman's guidance.

The bed in the room had been lifted up, and there was a big dark hole under the bed.

There is a ladder at the entrance of the cave, extending all the way to the depths.

This is a tunnel left over from previous wars.

Now it is convenient for them to engage in black market.

In fact, this black market has more than one entrance and exit, and it is well connected.

This is also the reason why Fang Zhirou is so confident about the black market here.

Once you enter the tunnel, the light inside is dim, with a kerosene lamp at regular intervals.

You need to bend down when you first enter the tunnel, but after walking for a while, it becomes wider.

There were also faint voices talking inside.

Fang Zhirou had already taken away the bag containing the basket and walked inside carrying only the basket.

At this time, many people were setting up stalls on both sides of the tunnel.

Some sold food, some sold cooked food, some sold various animals caught in the mountains, and some even sold pork and other supplies that others could not get even if they tried to snatch them from outside.

The black market here is not small, and it has all kinds of supplies.

Since it is a black market, buying things here is naturally much more expensive than buying things at the supply and marketing cooperatives, but the good thing is that you don’t need a ticket.

Fang Zhirou found a seat and followed the example of others, putting down her basket, opening the lid and waiting for customers.

But just after she squatted down for a while, someone recognized her.

"Comrade, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

A middle-aged man complained.

His face was wrapped with a scarf and his clothes looked very ordinary, making it difficult to recognize him in a crowd.

Fang Zhirou also wore a face scarf, not only that, she also wore a headscarf.

"Sorry, I was busy a while ago."

The two of them were like an underground gang meeting, one buying in a low voice, the other selling in a low voice.

A business deal was completed in this quiet atmosphere.

After getting the money, Fang Zhirou smiled happily.

Even though her face was covered, she still attracted a lot of covetous glances.

After all, most of the people who can come here are men.

There are very few people like Fang Zhirou who have a figure that one can tell at a glance that she is a young woman.

Fang Zhirou was already used to these looks and didn't care.

Then I continued to wait for someone to come up and buy something.

Fortunately, she had made her food famous in the early stage, and soon, many people gathered around her.

Everyone paid a few cents a piece and soon bought up half of the food in Fang Zhirou's basket.

Fang Zhirou was even happier after getting nearly ten dollars.

Just as I was carefully putting the money into my pocket, suddenly, there was a commotion coming from the path I had just entered!

Then someone shouted.

"Someone's coming! Run!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people who were setting up their stalls immediately picked up the things on the ground and ran away.

Fang Zhirou was caught off guard and was hit several times in a row!

But she didn't dare to cry out in pain. She picked up her basket and ran for her life.

I hadn't run far when I heard a shout from behind: "Stop! Don't run!"

But how could Fang Zhirou not run away?

If she didn't run and was caught, she couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be.

At this moment, Fang Zhirou couldn't help but feel a sense of regret in her heart!

I should not have come here today!

If she was caught, what would happen to that idiot in Jishan City?

Fang Zhirou became even more anxious when she thought that he might lose his favorite job.

Although the tunnel is interconnected, there are still many people inside.

When they started running, the whole tunnel became a mess.

Fang Zhirou had no idea how many times she had bumped into someone, and the footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer.

She was so anxious that she was about to cry.

But I didn't dare to stop.

"Stop! If you run again, I will be rude to you!"

The roar is already very close!

Fang Zhirou was so frightened that her heart almost stopped beating!

Finally, she didn't know where the power came from, but she used all her strength to break through the crowd in front of her!

As soon as I reached the ladder, I heard several voices pleading for mercy from behind.

Fang Zhirou’s face was as pale as a ghost!

Not daring to look back, she climbed up desperately!

When people are in extreme situations, their potential is enormous!

When the investigation team caught up with the ladder, she also successfully jumped out of the tunnel!

Afraid that they would climb up, Fang Zhirou turned around and threw the basket at the people below!

With a loud "Ah", the man seemed to have fallen down!

Fang Zhirou ran out the door!
