He thought for a moment, and said to Lu Changzheng and Lu Changtian: "Brother, second brother, the college entrance examination is open, and our country also needs to focus on the economy. Going to the black market is not so tight, do you want to?"
Lu Changzheng shook his head like a rattle and said honestly, "We don't dare. Besides, we don't have any goods on hand, so what can we sell? Shen Chuanzong and his friends have goods and connections, so I can't just flatter him and ask him to take me with me."
Everyone wants to keep things about making money secret, even from their brothers. What's more, he is just an outsider.
Lu Li is friends with him, and he is several years older than Shen Chuanzong! They don't usually interact with each other, at most they say hello when they see each other on the street.

Lu Li looked at him helplessly and said, "No one would buy it in the countryside. Everyone has old hens at home, so who would spend money on it? But it's different in the city.
Most of the people live in tube-shaped buildings, which are narrow and crowded. You can bump into each other when you turn around. There is no place to feed chickens. If you want to eat, you have to buy them.
But the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores only had limited supplies, so what could those who had many children and were not short of money do? They could only go to the black market.
The black market is risky. If I sell it to them at the original price, wouldn’t that be stupid? We come to the black market just to make a profit.”
