Chapter 32: Chased in the Black Market



After all this trouble, the Lin family had to go to work before they could even sit down at home.

As soon as they left, Lin Laosan also wanted to leave in a hurry.

Lin Ran was a little confused:

"Third brother, where are you going? Your leg is injured, so why don't you stay home and rest?"

"I have something to do outside. I may be back late tonight. Please remember to let me know."

After saying that, he ran away.

Lin Ran looked at his back and hurriedly instructed:

"Third brother, don't do anything dangerous again!"

But by then Lin Lao San had already run away, and no one knew whether he heard it or not.

Lin Ran was a little worried, because this third brother seemed a little unreliable.

But thinking that Lin Weiguo would take people to the reservoir to repair the dam soon, he thought that even if Old Lin had thirty times the courage, he would not dare to go fishing again, so he felt relieved and stopped paying attention to him.

It just so happens that there is no one at home right now, so she can go to the space to look for things she needs to take out tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran hurried into the house, locked the door, and slipped into the space.

As soon as she came in, she saw that the fruit trees were beginning to bear fruit again. She estimated that they would all be ripe in a few days, which gave her a headache.

You know, the fruits we picked last time are still piled up like a small hill in the open space in front of the bamboo house.

No wonder our ancestors said that the growth cycle of animals and plants in space is very short, but this is too short.

Even if she eats so much fruit every day, she can’t eat much!

There are also livestock on the ranch, and I have no chance to eat them.

Of course, the saddest thing is that she has so much food but cannot take it out to share with her family. It’s really frustrating just thinking about it.

Forget it, let’s not think about it for now.

I should think of a way to deal with the pile of fruits at the door, or make some fruit wine.

The Shen family's wine shop has all kinds of wine, and I think they also have all kinds of winemaking recipes.

When you have free time, you can look for it in the Shen family study.

With an idea in mind, Lin Ran no longer cared about the piles of fruits and walked straight to the storage room.

She had to think carefully about how much gold and silver to take out.

During the time she had traveled through time, she had already learned from her parents about the current basic prices of goods, as well as the prices of gold and silver.

Now one gram of gold is worth about eleven yuan, and one gram of silver is worth ten cents and fourteen cents.

The rice and white flour in the supply and marketing cooperatives were both 25 cents per pound, ordinary brown rice and cornmeal were 15 cents per pound, and meat was 80 cents per pound. In addition, grain coupons and meat coupons were required.

Lin Ran had learned housekeeping from his mother in his previous life, so he felt that the prices were quite cheap, except that the receipts were a little difficult to get.

She roughly calculated that even if her family ate white rice with meat every meal for the whole year, they would probably not spend more than a thousand yuan, or ninety grams of gold.

She silently looked at the mountain of gold, and it seemed that the smallest ingot weighed ten taels.

Moreover, her measurement method in her previous life was different from the current one. Ten taels is equivalent to sixteen taels in this life, which is eight hundred grams.

She dared to guarantee that if she really took out such a large ingot, Lin Weiguo and others would definitely not be willing to exchange it for money.

Although she could also use silver, the unit of measurement was different and she was afraid of problems, and silver was not very valuable now.

Thinking of this, Lin Ran felt a little worried. She never expected that one day she would be worried about being too rich.

Suddenly, Lin Ran thought of something and hurried out of the storage room.

She remembered that when she went to the shop to collect supplies, the monthly payment deadline had not yet arrived, so there should be a lot of scattered gold and silver in the shop now.

Fortunately, in order to save trouble, she emptied the shop completely, so the counters for storing silver and money were still piled up in the open space outside.

Lin Ran rummaged around for a long time and finally found all the cash in the shops.

Now I don’t have to worry about not having small amounts of gold and silver, as these can fill up several baskets.

There was a lot of small change in it, as well as gold and silver ingots weighing one, two, and five taels.

Of course, there are also some large-denomination silver notes, but these are no longer useful now. However, she still packed them up separately and kept them as a collection.

It was when Lin Ran was rummaging through the jewelry that she noticed that she had also piled up the jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion outside. Those were all rare treasures, most of which were from famous artists. She had to sort them out quickly and put them in the storage room.

Although she could also take out the gold and silver jewelry she collected, which would be more convenient, even if these were basically rare items, it would be a waste to exchange them for ordinary gold and silver.

Forget it, I'll go to the storage room later to see if there are any ordinary jewelry.

While sorting out her jewelry, Lin Ran also picked out a pair of bracelets that were suitable for Shen Wenfang, thinking of giving them to her tomorrow when she had the chance.

Although Lin Ran had considered every aspect carefully, no one knew about her plan. Even Lin Lao San would never have thought that his younger sister would have a magical space, and the key point is that the space was filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

So in order to reduce the burden on his family and get a meat ticket, Lin Laosan resolutely boarded the bus to the county town.

He must have had his own ways of getting scraps of cloth so often in the past, but he knew the pros and cons involved, so he only dared to help out occasionally by running errands.

The rewards received were naturally very small, just insignificant things like scraps of cloth.

If he wants to get some hostage tickets this time, he has to go to the black market.

As soon as Lin Laosan arrived in the county town, he got some materials as he was familiar with the place, and then sneaked straight to the black market.

But maybe he was really unlucky today. He almost drowned while fishing in the morning, and in the afternoon, he just stepped into the black market and had no time to sell cloth when the Revolutionary Committee came for a surprise inspection.

At this time, Lin Laosan could only flee in the alley with the backpack in his arms. His mind was completely confused and he was relying on instinct to escape.

When he thought about what would happen if he was caught, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and his heart almost jumped out.

"Don't run, stop!"

"Hurry up, people are running this way!"

"Catch up!"

“…”

Seeing that the people from the Revolutionary Committee were about to catch up with him, Lin Laosan ignored the pain in his legs and ran forward with all his might, unknowingly running onto the street.

Fortunately, there were almost no people on the streets in the afternoon, but Lin Laosan still accidentally bumped into someone while rushing around.

He didn't have time to help the other person. He just said "I'm sorry" and kept running.

But the person opposite spoke in a cold tone.

"Comrade Lin, why are you running? What happened?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Laosan realized that the person he had bumped into was Shi Yan. Just as he was about to say hello, he heard a voice behind him.

"Where are the people? Where did they run to?"

He was so scared that he immediately pulled Shi Yan into an alley.

Shi Yan looked back at the people from the Revolutionary Committee behind him, then looked at Lin Laosan's backpack, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Lin Lao San didn't want to implicate Shi Yan, so he hurriedly panted and urged Shi Yan:

"Shi Zhiqing, those people are chasing me. You should leave first, or you will be mistaken for my accomplice."
