Chapter 251 Black Market Outside Dongzhimen



Wang Er took a look at the person who came. Although she was wearing a black mask covering her face, he could tell from her voice and figure that it was a young girl. He was a little surprised, but didn't care much.

The old man next to her stared at her bicycle and the things she brought with her several times, nodded, and showed great concern.

After poking the people around him twice to make them pay attention to him, Wang Er also reacted and said seriously: "This is a blue and white porcelain bowl from the Yongzheng official kiln. The price is 600 yuan."

Lian Xiaomin took a closer look at it and secretly liked it, knowing that this bowl would be worth more than one million in the era before she traveled through time.

I thought to myself, "The plates and bowls of all sizes from the Yongzheng official kiln are whiter than frost and snow, and are both light and strong." Looking at this style of bowl, it is not an exaggeration.

But you will definitely have to bargain.

"It's a nice item, but I'm afraid no one will buy it at this price. Three hundred dollars is all I can offer."

The man hesitated and didn't want to sell it, but then he thought about his family situation and thought about it over and over again.

"Girl, you should cut it in half! This... I see your baskets and sacks are filled with quite a lot. Do you have any fine grains or flour? If you do, give me another 100 kilograms of flour, and we can discuss it."

Lian Xiaomin knew the answer clearly. Ge Pengwu told him that Yao Chun came back to the village on New Year's Day and told him that rice and flour were being sold at RMB 1.89 per pound on the black market in Beijing.

Bai Mian told her that she could have as much as she wanted, and that if she came across a good item, there was no need to bother with it, so she nodded.

"Sure, big brother, I just heard that your sister is getting married. I have a new ladies' watch here. Do you want it?"

"...For the sake of our deal, I'll give it to you at a low price. I can give it to you for one hundred and ten dollars."

Wang Er's eyes lit up, he put his hands together, and leaned forward with a little excitement.

Lian Xiaomin took out a small watch with a reddish-brown leather strap from her pocket and opened her palm to show the other person.

I fell in love with it at first sight and immediately nodded and took it.

"Deal, just give me another 190."

Wang Er was delighted. Now his sister had a dowry. The watch was not expensive. It cost about 120 yuan with the ticket.

Lian Xiaomin carefully put away the porcelain bowl, put it into the cross-body bag on her back, and stood up to get the flour.

The large sack contained four 50-jin bags of flour. He took out two bags, one in each hand, and gave them to him.

Wang Er was amazed and thought to himself, this girl is really energetic!

One hand can hold 50 kilograms, and two hands can hold 100 kilograms, but it looks as easy as carrying two vegetable baskets.

He opened the two grain bags, checked them and confirmed that there was no problem.

He quickly turned off the flashlight, walked a few quick steps over there, pulled out a small cart covered with a sack, put the two bags of grain on it, covered it, and left quickly.

Wow~ I found out that I carry all the stuff with me.

Lian Xiaomin did not leave immediately. She turned around and squatted again, looking at the things in front of the fat old man.

Reaching out to pick up the pair of blue and white porcelain plates, on the bottom there was a six-character inscription in two lines of regular script in blue and white that read "Made in the Yongzheng Period of the Qing Dynasty". They are preserved in a pair, which is extremely rare.

"Old man, how do you sell this pair of porcelain plates?"

When the other party saw that this person also took a fancy to his things, he was very happy and nodded quickly.

"Miss, you have a good eye. My pair of porcelain plates is no worse than Wang Er's bowl."

"I just want to exchange for more flour. I am old and want to eat fine grains to nourish my body. I want to exchange this item for 200 kilograms of flour and 100 yuan."

Lian Xiaomin accepted the pair of blue and white porcelain plates directly.

"Okay, deal. How are you going to transport the grain back?"

As soon as she thought of it, a hundred kilograms of flour appeared in the large backpack beside her. Then she opened the lid and took out the bag.

Take out the remaining 100 kilograms in the sack over there and put them all in front of the old man.

Having seen her strength just now, the old man couldn't help but take a breath when he saw it again.

I thought to myself, this girl is able to come to this place alone, and looking at her skills, she is definitely not an ordinary person.

He walked over and dragged a cart from not far behind and loaded all the flour bags onto it.

Cover it tightly with a piece of gray cloth and leave quickly.

Lian Xiaomin put all the porcelain in her bag into the space and placed it on the table in the study. She felt very happy.

I feel like I have come to the capital this time. There are so many good things here. There is plenty of flour. I can exchange it for treasures. How can I not be happy?

The empty sacks were collected, put into the backpack and placed aside.

She didn't move, but spread out a piece of cloth and placed two watches on the place where the two people had just left.

One men's watch with a black strap and one women's watch with a brown strap.

Less than ten minutes after I waited, someone came over to ask the price. He was a young man wearing a gray cotton jacket, about twenty-three years old, without a single patch on his body.

"How do you change your watch?"

"One hundred and thirty, the same price for both models."

The man picked up the watch and looked at it carefully. He could see that he was very attracted to it. After looking at the men's watch, he looked at the women's watch and finally chose only the women's one.

He must have bought it for his girlfriend, and she sacrificed her own men's watch to get it. To be honest, this guy is quite particular.

"Can you make it cheaper? One hundred and twenty is ok. I want this one."

"All right."

He took the twelve big unity bills that the other party had carefully counted and let him take the women's watch.

It was so cold, so she decided to sell it at a reasonable price. She was mainly waiting, as someone from the black market would surely come to her to ask for food soon.

The large sack and backpack I brought in just now was quite conspicuous, and I also exchanged things with two people, so many eyes were on me.

She had also observed that the food sold on the black market was not useless, but it was all in quantities of ten or eight kilograms. There was definitely no such large amount as she had, and it would inevitably attract people from the black market.

After a while, someone also bought a men's watch for 128 yuan.

In fact, men's watches are more popular. If there is no ticket, they can be sold quickly at this price. She also focuses on quick victory.

She had given this watch to her aunt and uncle before. They had been worn for a long time without any problems. She bought it cheaply at the beginning, but time has proven that the quality is still good. This time she has to sell it for a higher price.

Just when I was about to collect the cloth and walk around again, the bearded man I had seen at the door before came over, accompanied by a young man. It seemed that he had come to report the news.

"This... girl, what's your name? Let's talk further."

The other party was quite polite. He asked me to wait aside and stood with Lian Xiaomin to greet me.

"What's the matter?"

"Oh, I'm in charge of this black market. I'm also a clerk. Everyone calls me Lei Zi."

"Oh, you can just call me Xiao Ma." Lian Xiaomin said casually. Who would use their real name in the black market? It's just a nickname.

"Xiao Ma? What a coincidence, my eldest brother's last name is also Ma... I want to ask you, do you still have the fine grains like the rice and flour just now? We can buy them, and the price is negotiable."
