Before daybreak, Fu Manshan rode his bicycle, carrying Fu Baoer in front and Chen Suizhi in the back, and set off on the path to the city. Fu Baoer hummed a song, feeling free and at ease. He had been cooped up at home for a while and finally could go out for some fresh air.
Shen Suizhi was also happy. He had never thought that he could be brought along. What his grandfather and uncle said was right. Qingshan Village was a good place. The people here did not avoid them as they did in other places. Instead, they were quite polite, especially the two village leaders, who were fair, strict and reasonable.
There were also people from the Fu family who would send them food and drinks, and teach them how to do farm work. Shen Suizhi didn't know how to repay this family.
If I can connect with my grandfather's old friends this time in the city, it will be a kind of repayment from them, right?
"Sister Bao'er," Shen Suiyi opened his arms and embraced the early spring breeze, "What should we do first after entering the city? Should we go straight to that Uncle Liu?"
"Stupid, how could you come here so rashly!" Fu Baoer really wanted to knock Chen Yizhi on the head. "Of course, I should observe the market first and then decide on the next plan."
Shen Suizhi felt that he was a bit hasty. Given the current situation of the Shen family, Uncle Liu might not even recognize him, let alone help him.
"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative first," Fu Baoer had already thought of the first step at home. "Grandpa, you just wait in the guesthouse. We are small and won't be easily suspected."
Fu Manshan had no objection. He knew he couldn't help, so it was better not to hinder his granddaughter. "Then you two should be careful and don't tell anyone anything."
When they arrived in the city, Fu Baoer carried a small backpack containing several small bottles of wine that she had packed last night. She used earthenware bottles that she had made herself. This material can lock in the flavor and temperature of the wine, ensuring its most original taste.
"Let's go, Shen Suizhi, you just need to follow my instructions!" Fu Baoer stood on tiptoe and patted Shen Suizhi's shoulder, "Talk less and do more!"
Shen Suizhi wanted to take Fu Baoer's backpack but was rejected by her. This cannot be given to others, and it will be difficult to hide it in case of emergency.
When the two of them strolled to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, it had just opened for business. After more than half a year of buffer, business was slowly recovering. Fu Baoer saw a row of liquor on the shelves at the door.
The wine sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives today is actually of good quality. It is brewed with pure grains and is very conscientious. However, it is expensive and the quantity is limited. Moreover, the major wineries are state-owned enterprises and the goods are supplied directly. Others can only buy it here and may not be available on the black market.
The Uncle Liu they were looking for, Liu Pinsheng, was the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. Fu Baoer sorted herself out and walked into the cooperative with a curious look on her face. She blinked her big eyes at the female teller with short hair at the counter and said, "Beautiful sister, what is this?"
Wang Qianqian heard a pleasant child's voice. She stood up and looked outside the counter. She saw two children, a boy and a girl. The boy was handsome and tall, and the girl was pretty and cute. Their big eyes were full of curiosity, and their white and tender little hands pointed at a bottle of Laojiao on the shelf behind her.
What an outstanding pair of siblings, Wang Qianqian thought to herself, a smile on her face. "Little friend, you can't buy this. This is white wine, for adults!"
Fu Baoer looked confused and nodded with a smile: "It's wine. My grandpa likes to drink it. Sister, how much is this? Can I buy it for my grandpa?"
Normally, Wang Qianqian would have ignored these people who came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things without knowing anything. But now, they hadn't even started yet, and the child in front of her was so beautiful, so she patiently said, "This is sixteen yuan a bottle, and you need a ticket."
It turned out that the most expensive wine here was sixteen yuan. Fu Baoer knew what was going on. "Okay, I can't afford the wine. Thank you, sister!"
Wang Qianqian smiled and waved goodbye to Fu Baoer. This was just a small episode to her and did not arouse any suspicion from her.
"Let's go and have a look around. Maybe there are still some black markets that haven't been closed yet." Fu Baoer wanted to find out the prices on the black market. Only by doing both can he make money faster.
Shen Suizhi had no objection and just followed Fu Baoer obediently. Wherever she went, he would follow. Fu Baoer had been to the black market several times with her grandfather before, and they always arrived very early. Later, after reaching a deal with Zhang Jianguo's family, Fu Manshan rarely went to the black market to take risks, so now he could only try his luck.
These alleys are far away from the main urban area and are very hidden. In addition, they are interconnected, making it very easy to escape. Fu Baoer and Shen Suizhi squatted in an inconspicuous corner, opened the seal of a small bottle of wine, and let the smell spread out.
Shen Suizhi felt that this was a very risky behavior, but for some reason, Fu Baoer seemed confident and unconcerned, so he put his heart at ease and waited and saw what would happen.
Maybe it was because of the wind today, coupled with the strong smell of alcohol, the two of them actually waited for a customer.
To be so fat in this day and age, Fu Baoer thinks he must be very rich and have connections. He survived the storm safely and unharmed, so he can be killed!
"Uncle, would you like to buy some wine? I brew it myself." Fu Baoer smiled broadly. The fish was hooked, and the man in front of her was almost drooling.
Huo Da sniffed hard, and the smell was indeed coming from the two furry children in front of him. The closer he got to the little girl, the stronger the smell became. He became a little suspicious, "You two are selling alcohol? You must be swindling!"
Fu Bao'er was not afraid of exposing herself at all. She took out the opened bottle of wine from her backpack, and then took out a small wine cup. She poured a small cup steadily for the fat man, "Uncle, try it. It tastes absolutely delicious. I guarantee you will be satisfied after drinking it."
Huo Da was an old drunkard and could not control his hands at all in front of the wine. He looked around and found it safe, so he took the cup from Fu Baoer's hand and drank it all. After drinking it, he immediately felt relaxed all over, which fascinated him more than any other wine he had ever drunk.
"I'll buy it!" Huoda made the decision immediately. "How many you have, I want them all!"
What a rich man! Fu Baoer was secretly shocked. He didn't even ask the price. This little fairy's wine is a high-end line. "Uncle, my wine is brewed with a unique secret recipe. This small bottle costs twelve yuan."
Huo Da was shocked when he heard this. What the hell? This small bottle, at most, is only five taels. A bottle of Laojiao from the supply and marketing cooperative is only sixteen yuan per catty! Although that requires a ticket, it can't be that much different!
Even Shen Suizhi was a little surprised. He didn't expect Fubaoer to be priced so high.
Fu Baoer wasn't worried about her sales. The black market was just a retail market, and her real goal wasn't there. "It's okay. We clearly mark the prices. If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it!"
But it’s hard to say whether you can still drink other wines after drinking my wine.
Huoda was very angry, feeling like he had been fooled by two little brats. He shook his hands and walked away angrily. When he was far away, the aroma of the wine was still lingering on his tongue. He licked his lips, feeling a surge of greed in his stomach. This was truly the most delicious wine he had ever tasted.
