Chapter 1193 The Strangeness of the Black Market
The two walked into the fence while talking.
I only glanced at it from afar, and it looked lush and green, which was pleasing to the eye.
Now that I'm closer, I realize that the buds are growing quite fast and are already very tall.
Da Niu told her everything that had happened over the past few months, “...After selling those alfalfa crops, our estate brought in sixty or seventy taels of silver. But after buying the timber stakes and building the fence, there wasn’t much left. The account book is in the estate; I’ll show it to you later. By the way, before you left, you asked me to keep an eye out for any vacant wasteland nearby. I’ve looked, and there’s one about two miles southwest of our estate, which is perfect for building a workshop.”
"Really?" Shu Yu raised her eyebrows, overjoyed. "Can that land be sold?"
"Yes, I've asked, and the price isn't high. Want to go take a look?"
Shu Yu thought for a moment, "Let's do it another day. I have to go home today, and my parents will get worried if it gets any later."
"That's good. Once we buy that land, we'll be busy again."
Moreover, he will be very busy building workshops, making tools, hiring laborers, and then opening shops. It seems that Ayu will not be able to do anything else in the short term.
Shu Yu smiled, and after strolling around for a short while, she prepared to leave.
She didn't plan to walk through all 100 acres; she didn't have the time. She'd take a look next time she came.
She turned around, and as she looked back, her gaze involuntarily fell on the distant mountain peaks.
He quickly withdrew his phone, but even in that instant, Da Niu noticed it.
He immediately whispered, "By the way, that hilltop is the black market inside. It's been acting strangely lately."
"That's weird? What's wrong?"
Da Niu didn't understand either, "Recently, there have been more people coming and going than before. I've also seen several carts loaded with goods being transported out of the mountains."
Shu Yu paused, "Transport it out? Not transport it in?"
It wouldn't be surprising if they were smuggled in, since it's the black market; all sorts of oddities collected from elsewhere are sent there.
But it's a bit strange that it was smuggled out of the black market.
Da Niu nodded. "Not only that, they transported it out late at night. I saw it by chance. After your sister-in-law got pregnant, she would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and her tastes became strange. Just recently, she woke up in the middle of the night and said she wanted to eat green beans and eggplant, and she wanted to eat it right there. I couldn't do anything about it. She's pregnant and it's hard for her, so of course I had to go along with her."
Shu Yu pursed her lips, feeling like she'd just been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
Da Niu was completely unaware of what was happening. "Isn't it strange? She never liked eggplant before, so when we planted vegetables in our yard, we never thought of growing eggplant. Now that she suddenly wants to eat it, I have to go outside and get some for her. That way, your sister-in-law is happy and can sleep peacefully at night."
Shu Yu: "Big Brother Niu, get to the point."
"Oh, well, your sister-in-law wanted to eat eggplant, and I remembered that the Wang family seemed to grow some. I thought I'd go to their house to ask, but it's the middle of the night and disturbing people's sleep isn't a good idea, so I brought a few extra copper coins to buy some. When I came back, I was just about to go inside when I saw several carts coming from afar. The things on those carts were all large items, including a huge screen and stuff."
Da Niu found it strange and paid more attention the next day. As a result, he saw them carrying things out again after only two days.
Da Niu said, "It looks like they're moving house."
