Chapter 63 Looks like a female star
Ma Wang Temple was burned down by war decades ago, but from the ruins left behind, it can be seen that it was quite large in scale back then.
Moreover, Ma Wang Temple is surrounded by trees. If someone really comes to chase and intercept, it would take at least a thousand people to surround it. It is indeed a Feng Shui treasure land.
Sure enough, it is impossible for the people who organize the black market to take advantage of the situation without some skills.
Lin Sanqi spent 10 cents to buy two tickets to enter the black market.
It was still dark at this time, the road was unfamiliar, and there were steps and broken bricks everywhere, so Lin Sanqi still took Pan Ye's hand very considerately, and the two walked forward together in the dark.
Pan Ye originally didn't want to hold hands, but she accidentally fell twice while walking, and then she became obedient.
Of course, it may also be because Lin Sanqi looks a little handsome. If it were a greasy big man, Pan Ye would probably rather break his legs than be held by someone's hand.
The rule in the black market is that you cannot keep the flashlight on for a long time, and you are not allowed to shine it on people's faces.
Only when both parties are interested in the goods will they turn on their flashlights to check the goods, then turn off the flashlights to discuss the price. Once the transaction is successful, the two parties will go their separate ways and neither party will know who the other party is.
Seeing Lin Sanqi walking alone, Pan Ye asked:
"You, what do you want to sell?"
"Oh, there are tea leaves and brown sugar in my backpack."
"Wow, you're amazing! These things are even more valuable than food. No wonder you'd rather fight back than be robbed. You're going this way to sell food, and we'll go to the Sanguan Temple to sell tea."
Obviously Pan Ye had been here several times and was more experienced.
Lin Sanqi nodded, thinking that this black market was also subdivided into functions, making it easier for buyers to find the place. It turned out that someone was well organized.
So Pan Ye walked in front and Lin Sanqi followed behind, still holding hands.
The two walked for 10 minutes, and finally arrived at a small open square. There were already many people setting up shop here. The flashlights and tinder sticks that lit up from time to time looked like fireflies.
Lin Sanqi estimated that it was already two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, so he had to speed up.
So I found a place, spread out a piece of oilcloth, and put a pack of Longjing tea, a pack of jasmine flowers, and a pack of brown sugar on it. Immediately, the place was filled with the fragrance of tea.
Pan Ye sat obediently on the bricks at the back, holding her broken precious clock in her arms.
As soon as the business opened, two men with glasses came over, smelling the fragrance.
"Little brother, selling tea? What kind?"
Lin Sanqi quickly greeted them warmly: "We have the best jasmine tea, Longjing tea, and brown sugar. You two can take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, two flashlights on the opposite side turned on at the same time, seeming a little impatient. Then they both squatted down, picked up a bag of tea leaves, and looked at and smelled them.
"Good tea. I haven't seen such good tea in a long time."
"Yeah, poor me, I can't even get a high-quality drink right now. How much is it, little brother?"
"Jasmine flowers are 50 yuan per jin, Longjing tea is 100 yuan per jin, and brown sugar is 20 yuan per jin. No bargaining. You two are experts and know that it is not easy to get tea these days."
"Hey, you only want money, not tickets?"
"No tickets, I just want cash."
One of the middle-aged men hesitated for a moment before giving the answer:
"Okay, give me 2 jin of jasmine tea and 1 jin of Longjing tea."
Lin Sanqi was happy. Although the other party was not as generous as old man Fu Zuo, he was still a big customer as he bought 3 kilograms of tea at one time.
Before Lin Sanqi turned around, he saw three paper bags being handed to him. It was obvious that Pan Ye was taking the initiative to help.
Lin Sanqi smiled slightly, took the tea and handed it to one of the middle-aged men.
Another middle-aged man also became anxious: "I want some too, I want some too. Give me 2 kilograms of jasmine tea, 2 kilograms of Longjing tea, and 2 kilograms of brown sugar as well."
Pan Ye moved quickly and handed over another 6 paper bags.
In the blink of an eye, 540 yuan was in hand.
Obviously both parties were very satisfied with the deal. After checking the contents of the paper package, the two middle-aged men quickly disappeared into the night.
As the transaction opened here, more people gathered over there. Tea and brown sugar, as strategic materials, were rarely put on the market during natural disasters and were all exported to earn foreign exchange.
So as long as the goods are available, they will be sold at sky-high prices.
Two hours later, all the 20 kilograms of jasmine tea, 10 kilograms of Longjing tea, and 10 kilograms of brown sugar that Lin Sanqi carried on his back were sold out, and he earned 2,200 yuan.
After selling the goods, Lin Sanqi saw that the sky in the east was beginning to turn pale, so he quickly pulled Pan Ye away from the Ma Temple, a place of trouble.
The two did not return to the city immediately, but returned to Yuyuantan Park. At this time, there were already old men and women who had gotten up early exercising, so it was safe.
After finding a stone bench to sit on, Pan Ye could no longer hold back and asked:
"Lin Sanqi, why don't you exchange it for food coupons, oil coupons, or something? Even bicycle coupons or watch coupons would be fine. What's the point of having so much money now?"
Lin Sanqi glanced at the dark-faced girl and burst out laughing:
"Hurry up and go wash up in the pond over there. If someone sees your dark face, they'll definitely take you away as a psychopath."
"Oh, I almost forgot!!!"
In the past, when Pan Ye came to the black market, he only sold one thing each time, so he always came and left in the dark.
Today, I first met Lin Sanqi, then encountered a gangster, and then helped sell tea. The back and forth delays made it almost dawn.
After a while, Pan Ye had finished washing his face and came back shyly. It was already dawn and people's faces could be seen clearly.
The first time Lin Sanqi saw Pan Ye, he gasped and was stunned by her beauty. He thought that this girl was really beautiful, with a kind of pure beauty that didn't care about people's life or death. She looked very much like a female star in a few decades later.
So he asked excitedly: "You, is your last name Mao?"
Pan Ye felt puzzled, but still confessed honestly:
"My last name isn't Mao. My real last name is Pan, but it's not Pan Hua. It's Pan Ye, Rihua Ye. I'm sorry I lied to you..."
The voice became smaller and smaller.
At this time, Lin Sanqi, with a stupid look on his face, was as excited as if he had met a female celebrity. How could he be surprised?
"No, no, you're so pretty, it's dangerous to go out. No wonder you used soot to make yourself look ugly, hehe~~~"
One is handsome, the other is beautiful, and they are of the same age, so they quickly became close and there was not much sense of strangeness between them.
The reason Pan Ye hadn't left yet was actually because he was waiting for Lin Sanqi's food, so he could only shamelessly remind him:
"Do you still want this clock?"
Lin Sanqi slapped his forehead and said, "If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten. Here you go, give me the clock, and I'll give you food when we get back to the city. But you helped me out as a waiter for one night, so come on, I'll treat you to breakfast."
Pan Ye lowered his head and nodded slightly: "Hmm..."
