Chapter 86 Whiter than a piglet
After Jiang Tang went in, he looked back and found that if someone came to sell things, they needed to pay a ten-cent entrance fee, which was also the stall fee.
The person who founded this black market has great intelligence and management skills. I think I can come here often in the future.
Jiang Tang took a quick tour of the black market and got to know some basic information.
The most sought-after items on the black market are grain, cotton, brown sugar, salt, etc. These are hard currencies. Because they are controlled items, tickets are required to purchase them at the supply and marketing cooperatives, but tickets are not required on the black market, so the prices will be a little higher than at the supply and marketing cooperatives.
Jiang Tang has Fu Sinian at home, and every month she gets a lot of money, which is enough for her family of four. If all else fails, she still has the Lingbao Space, so she has no shortage of these things.
Relatively cheap items on the black market are crops from various households, because in this era almost every household grows something, and very few people are willing to spend money on a bite of food.
There are more sellers and fewer buyers, so the price is naturally lower.
These are exactly what Jiang Tang is really interested in: the wild peaches on the mountain, which are crisp and tender; the various dried wild mushrooms, which are delicious when used to make soup; and the homemade smoked fish and bacon from farmers, which look very authentic and must taste good.
Jiang Tang had an extra bamboo basket in her hand. She bought it together with the auntie who sold wild mushrooms. It only cost her fifty cents more, and it was more convenient to carry things.
After walking around, the bamboo basket in her hand was full.
Jiang Tang bought some hawthorns. Eating too much candied haws is bad for your teeth, but hawthorns are good for Chao Chao and Yue Yue. They are sour and sweet and they stimulate their appetites. (Even though her two little kids have good appetites and don't need to stimulate their appetites at all.)
Just as he was thinking, Jiang Tang walked past someone.
A man who looked to be in his thirties, with his head down and wearing a hat, probably didn't want to be recognized, so he disguised himself before going to the black market.
There was nothing in front of him, just a bicycle next to him.
It's empty and I don't know what to sell.
Jiang Tang was thinking this in her heart when she passed by, and then in a flash, she suddenly thought of - a bicycle!
Could this guy be selling bicycles? !
These days, a bicycle ticket alone can cost eighty to one hundred yuan, and having a ticket is not enough, you have to wait for the supply and marketing cooperative to have stock. Bicycles are an extremely scarce commodity and only sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, making them extremely rare.
Jiang Tang has long wanted to have a bicycle so that it would be more convenient to go out into the city without having to wait for the bus.
This isn't the opportunity~
Jiang Tang turned around and walked towards the "fully armed" man again.
At this moment, her shoulder bumped into another young man who was passing by in a hurry.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm in a hurry. Sorry."
The young man lowered his head and quickly apologized to Jiang Tang.
Seeing that he had a good attitude and that her sudden turn around was also related, Jiang Tang didn't pay much attention to it. After taking a quick look, she continued to look at the bicycle she wanted to buy. But after walking a few steps, Jiang Tang suddenly felt something was wrong.
[Ding Di - Lingbao system reminder, dear master, you have lost some items -]
not good!
That man is a thief.
In the brief moment of collision, the wallet in Jiang Tang's pocket disappeared, leaving the room empty.
Fortunately, she was alert, and with the reminder from the Lingbao system, she discovered it immediately.
Jiang Tang didn't bother to buy a bicycle. She quickly turned around to look at the young man who had deliberately bumped into her. "Hey—"
At this moment, a female voice with full energy was heard!
Along with the sound, a figure rushed past Jiang Tang quickly.
"Damn her! She actually stole things right under my nose!"
The person rushed so fast that Jiang Tang didn't see her appearance clearly, but he saw her very clean and neat skills.
After she rushed over, she first kicked the thief in the back, knocking him to the ground. Then she rushed over and sat on his back, completely suppressing the man.
“Ah—ah—ah—”
The thief let out a miserable cry.
The woman scolded fiercely, "What are you yelling about? I told you to be dirty and do bad things, and I just happened to run into you. You deserve this!"
After Jiang Tang and the other thieves were completely subdued, they walked over and finally saw the woman's appearance clearly.
The woman looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, about the same age as Jiang Tang. She was young and heroic, with regular features, two thick black braids, simple clothes, and a pair of patched shoes on her feet. She looked like a villager from a nearby village, and had a tough aura that didn't match her appearance.
She was carrying a bamboo backpack, which was very heavy and full of blood, which was dripping from it, which was quite creepy.
"Ah—I'm bleeding—I'm beating people—I'm beating people to death—"
The blood oozing out of the bamboo basket just dripped onto the thief's face. The man was startled and thought that he had fallen to the ground and broken his nose and was bleeding, so he shouted very loudly, attracting many people around to come and watch, pointing at them.
The woman didn't care about the opinions of the people around her at all. She listened to the man's shouting and pouted in annoyance.
"Shut up! A grown man is afraid of blood. What are you yelling about? You're not like a man at all!"
The woman was annoyed by the noise, so she rolled up a ball of straw and stuffed it into the man's mouth.
“Mmm ...
"It's quiet now."
The noise of the woman and the thief fighting attracted the organizers of the black market. Several men who had just been checking the entrance came over. They were tall and had fierce faces.
"What's going on? Do you know where this place is? You dare to cause trouble even on Brother Jiang's territory?"
Jiang Tang was afraid that they would misunderstand her as a tough woman, so he quickly explained.
"She didn't mean to hit anyone. The man was a thief. He stole my wallet first, so the woman came to my aid and helped catch the thief."
Several men looked at Jiang Tang for a few times, not caring about what Jiang Tang said. When they saw the woman catching the thief, they all cried out in shock.
"Chen Taohua!"
"What are you yelling about? Do you think you can yell my name, Chen Taohua?" Chen Taohua was still sitting on the thief and didn't get up. She looked up at the vicious men and said angrily, "San'er! How can you watch the place? You can't even see a thief?"
"Chen...Sister Taohua, you saw it too. There were so many people around that I didn't notice." The fierce man walked over and spoke respectfully to Chen Taohua before kicking the man on the ground. "This is Brother Jiang's territory, and you dare to act so dirty? I think you're courting death! Come on, arrest him!"
Several men came over, pulled up the thief with his mouth full of straw, and tied him up.
Chen Taohua then stood up, and after searching the thief's body, she found Jiang Tang's wallet.
She looked into the crowd and her sight fell on Jiang Tang, whose fair skin was so white that it glowed. What a delicate and tender girl.
Pretty and fair, even fairer than her little piglets, so cute.
Chen Taohua thought silently in her heart and walked towards Jiang Tang.
