Chapter 15 Black
After putting on her makeup, Tang Yue walked into the alley. After wandering around the commune for a while without finding the girl, she went into the alley specifically. After searching for more than half an hour, she finally found the girl in an alley. There was an old man sitting nearby, watching the slightest movement around. She walked over.
The old man asked directly, "Buy or sell?"
Tang Yue changed her voice slightly, making it sound hoarse, and said, "Sell."
The old man's expression didn't change. "Two cents."
After Tang Yue paid the money, she walked straight in. Oh my god, look who I see, Liu Wen and Xu Kai, setting up a stall there, selling rabbits and pheasants. You can't judge a book by its cover. I thought these two most gentle people are not so gentle after all.
Finding Brother Xiao who was in charge of guarding the black wall nearby, "Brother Xiao, I have some goods here. Can I see your boss?" Tang Yue deliberately lowered her voice and said.
When Brother 꺶 heard someone talking to him, he turned around and was almost scared away by Tang Yue's face, "You, you, what's wrong with your face?"
Tang Yue was trying not to laugh, "When I was little, my family was busy with work, and I scalded myself with boiling water because I wanted to play around." Tang Yue deliberately painted her face with bumps.
"Brother Xiao, I have a lot of food. Can you help introduce your boss to me?" Tang Yue hurriedly opened her mouth for fear of scaring Brother Xiao away, and handed the food to him to have a look.
In the end, he could only say, "Wait a moment." and walked away with the backpack. Tang Yue knew that this face was not welcomed, so he had to squat there and wait, pretending to sleep, and use his mental power to enter the space to feed the animals, and he would come back soon.
After a few minutes, the brother came back and said to Tang Yue, "My brother wants to see you, come with me."
Tang Yue followed him directly. Then she saw Tang Yue holding a stick. Why are you afraid that we will rob you? Don’t you look at your face?
Tang Yue didn't care what he thought. He walked for three minutes and came to the gate of a small courtyard. He knocked three times and someone opened the door. He walked in directly. The black old man was sitting in the upper seat waiting. When he saw Tang Yue, he said directly: "Brother, it's not easy for you to have such a face. You are really suffering."
Tang Yue didn't waste time talking to him and directly asked him how much he would like to pay for a pound of this quality. Hei Lao was relatively conscientious and said directly: "I charge 80 cents for rice, 1.20 cents for white flour, and 3 yuan for oil."
Tang Yue thought it was feasible. After all, it was not Heilongjiang, and those who came to Heilongjiang to buy fine grains were all rich people. "I'll give you 1,000 kilograms of each."
Seeing that it was about the same time, she asked him to go to a dilapidated yard outside the commune to trade in an hour, and Tang Yue left after the agreement was made.
After Tang Yue arrived, he went to the dilapidated yard first to check it out. After checking that there was no problem, he brought the goods over. Looking at the sacks and oil drums that were going to be delivered later, he felt a little distressed and asked him to return them next time.
When the time came, Hei Lao came. His younger brother went to count the goods. Hei Lao walked up to Tang Yue with the money and said, "Brother, please count it."
Tang Yue was not polite with him. After counting once, there was no problem. After it was confirmed that there was 5,000 yuan, she waited for them to finish counting the goods. After they finished counting in a while, Tang Yue was ready to leave.
Hei 뎀 Lao 꺶 quickly called him, "Brother, when will we trade next time?"
"Let's contact each other next month. Please prepare more sacks and return the oil drums to me next time. Also, remember to bring your own buckets next time." After saying that, Tang Yue left without saying any more nonsense.
Walking into an empty alley, Tang Yue threw his coat into the backpack, took out the clothes he wore in the morning, washed off the makeup on his face with makeup remover, wiped his face with wet tissue, and left after making sure there was nothing wrong.
It was really exciting to visit a black market for the first time. I would come here once a month, 5,000 yuan each time, 60,000 yuan a year. I was excited just thinking about it. I put the money into the bedroom in the space. It was almost 12 o'clock. Tang Yue was ready to go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. Seeing that there were meat and fish, Tang Yue ordered a braised pork, a braised fish, and a bowl of rice. After paying, she sat at the table and waited.
After a while, the waiter called out, "Braised fish, braised pork, and rice." Tang Yue knew he was calling her, so she quickly brought the dishes over. She ate a piece of braised pork first, which was really delicious, and then a piece of braised fish. The chef in this restaurant is really good.
There was really too much food in one bowl, and I didn't finish it in the end. I could only pretend to take two lunch boxes from the backpack, pack the food and put it in the backpack. There was still an hour before two o'clock, so I planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative for a stroll. There wasn't much to see at the supply and marketing cooperative, so I just walked around and finally bought a pound of egg cake, a pound of sugar, and a thermos, and then prepared to go back.
When Tang Yue went back, it was almost halfway through the day when Aunt Guihua arrived. After saying hello, she sat next to her. Tang Yue thought that renting a room in the dormitory was not cost-effective. Tang Yue calculated that it would be 2 yuan a month, 24 yuan a year, 240 yuan a year, and 312 yuan in 13 years. She planned to build a house by herself. Now that her household registration is in the Red Flag Brigade, she should be able to buy a homestead. It just so happened that her aunt asked about it.
"Aunt, how much does it cost for our team to build a house?" Tang Yue asked softly in Aunt Guihua's ear.
Aunt Guihua was very surprised, "Why do you suddenly want to build a house?"
"Aunt, we educated youth go to the countryside and don't know when we can go back. If we can't go back, wouldn't it be more cost-effective to build a house for ourselves? That way we can have a home."
"I really need a home. OK, I'll go back and ask your uncle."
"Thank you, auntie!"
"Why are you being so polite? It's just a small matter."
Time passed quickly as she chatted and laughed with her aunt. When everyone was together, it was almost two o'clock. The ox cart headed back to the team and arrived at half past three. Tang Yue put her things in the dormitory and prepared to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms with her backpack on her back.
Tang Yue locked the door, put a basket on her back, put a bunch of firewood in it, and walked towards the back mountain.
Tang Yue planned to go a little further inside today, picking wild vegetables and mushrooms along the way. When a basket was full, she would find a tree and hide behind it. She would put her hands in the basket and silently say "collect", and the basket would be collected into the space. Then she would continue picking with the empty basket.
This time Tang Yue didn't want wild vegetables. She dried some vegetables and bought a few bags. The fresh ones she had just picked were enough. She walked inside while picking mushrooms. Suddenly, she saw a wild apple tree. She picked one to try and found it was quite delicious and crispy. The tree was not rotten. After picking all of them, she only filled half of the basket and put them all into the space.
She knocked and hit them with a stick, fearing that there might be snakes. No matter how capable and strong a girl is, she would be afraid of such soft-bodied animals. She picked up another full basket of mushrooms. Tang Yue did not plan to pick any more. She wanted to walk around a bit more, put the mushrooms into the space, and then put the wild apples in the basket and knocked and hit them with a stick.
Tang Yue watched a pheasant walk by and quickly threw the stick in her hand over, hitting the pheasant on the head. Great, she would have chicken soup tonight. She put the pheasant into the space, as it would not be good to be seen outside. She went to look for pheasant eggs where the pheasant had just stayed. She found two pheasant eggs and cooked them for breakfast tomorrow morning. She wondered how they would taste compared to home-cooked eggs.
Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Yue decided to go back. She picked up two bundles of firewood and carried them back. On the way, she met many people collecting firewood. She greeted those she knew and nodded to those she didn't know. There was no door in the backyard yet, so she could only walk from the front. When she walked to the front of the house, she put the firewood in front of the door. There was still light in the sky, so she chopped the firewood into pieces of the same length and classified them into coarse and fine. While she was chopping firewood, she saw Zhao Yingying carrying a basin of clothes from the well and passing by her door. She snorted as she passed Tang Yue.
Tang Yue thought this guy was crazy and was wondering why her clothes were hung here, when she saw him hanging two men's clothes and then carrying a basin into Xiao Jun's room next door.
Tang Yue was stunned. It had only been a few days. In total, she had only been here for eight or nine days. The speed was quite fast.
Tang Yue's mind was full of thoughts, oh my, when did this happen? Why didn't I know about it? I missed such a good melon. I thought it was fine in the car, why did it become so weird here? It seems that handsome men are the root of trouble. Ugh, what a scumbag.
It seems that Xiao Jun will not fall in love with someone else so quickly. Is there something that I don't know? I really missed such a good opportunity to gossip.
Tang Yue quickly sorted the firewood and carried it into the firewood shed. She also carried a load of water, locked the door, and placed the apples on the washbasin rack. She had to go to Captain Xiao's house later, so she would just bring half of it to her aunt. She steamed the rice in the pot, took out a few slices of bacon, and washed the wild vegetables. She took enough for tonight and put the rest in the space to keep fresh. She also took out the mushrooms. She would make a delicious soup, and put the rest in the space to keep fresh. She would take them out to dry tomorrow. Suddenly, she remembered that she seemed to have bought mushroom bags. She would eat the rice first. For one hour of rice, the rice glutinous rice could not be put in accurately, whether too much or too little. Fortunately, there was space for it.
After dinner, it was past seven o'clock. I carried apples and a flashlight and planned to go to Captain's house to ask about the house. Walking on the road, it was very quiet outside. There were no entertainment activities in this era, and most people went to bed early, so each household had at least three or four children, and at most eight or nine. I walked to Captain's house and knocked gently on the door. It was so quiet at night that even the smallest sound could be magnified countless times. After a while, I heard Aunt Guihua shouting, "Who is it?"
Tang Yue quickly responded, "Aunt, love me, I love Tang Yue."
"Hey Yueyue, is there anything wrong so late at night?" Aunt Guihua quickly opened the door, pulled Tangyue in, and then closed the door.
"Aunt, aren't you still working on building a house? I wanted to ask the captain for his opinion, and I don't understand anything, so I want to leave it all to the captain, and ask him to help me take care of it." Tang Yue said as she walked into the house.
"Then just tell your uncle."
When we entered the main room, the captain was already sitting there waiting.
Tang Yue didn't waste any words and said directly: "Uncle, do you think I can build a house in our team? It's not that only educated youth come here, and very few go back. I'm worried that I will have to stay in our team for the rest of my life. Then I must have my own house. What do you think, uncle?"
Captain 꺶 nodded after listening to her. 껩 had no objection to her wanting to build a house. "How do you want to build it?"
"Uncle, I don't understand these, I'll leave it all to you."
"So what kind of house do you want to build, a mud house or a brick house?"
Tang Yue thought for a while and said, "Uncle, I want to build three brick houses. I can draw the blueprints for you. I want to build a stone wall, two meters high. I want my uncle to approve the residential land for me at the foot of the mountain, and make the yard as big as possible."
Captain Wu calculated silently after hearing this, "Give me 300 yuan first, I'll refund you if you get more or make up for less. Actually, we don't need that much money to buy bricks and tiles. Most of this money is used for gifts. We have to give gifts to buy bricks and tiles. After all, we don't have the ability to approve the bills."
Tang Yue reached into her pocket and pretended to take out money, but in fact she was taking money out of the space, and took out two more yuan, "Uncle, I don't know how to cook a pot of rice, so I won't pack the rice, just calculate the amount."
"Okay, I'll build you a house before the busy farming season. Tomorrow afternoon, after work, come to the team headquarters to get the note and give me the building you want."
Tang Yue quickly thanked Captain 꺶, and seeing that it was getting late, she felt embarrassed to disturb Captain 꺶's rest, so she put down the apple and quickly said goodbye.
After bidding farewell to Aunt Guihua, Tang Yuexiao walked back slowly in the moonlight without turning on the flashlight.
