Jiang Manyue looked at him and did not reply immediately.
Not until the heat in Lu Lin's body gradually cooled down and his eyes gradually dimmed did Jiang Manyue kiss him on the face again.
"Comrade Jiang Manyue said she is willing."
Lu Lin's eyes lit up instantly, and he was about to move forward to continue what he hadn't finished, but was stopped by Jiang Manyue.
"Look at the sky outside. It's time to get up."
Lu Lin was somewhat reluctant, but Jiang Manyue wouldn't let him, so he had to endure it.
Jiang Manyue put on her clothes, and Lu Lin was still leaning against the head of the bed, covered with a blanket.
Seeing Jiang Manyue looking back at him, Lu Lin felt a little embarrassed. "I'll get up later. Go wash up first."
Jiang Manyue was not an ignorant girl. Her eyes fell on the place where he was hiding and she smiled secretly.
Lu Lin's face turned red. He didn't know what was going on. The little brother didn't want to go down, and no matter how he ordered him to be quiet in his heart, it was useless.
After Jiang Manyue went out to wash up, the little brother finally calmed down after a while.
Lu Lin then got up to wash up, and happened to meet Lu Junan and Binbin who had already finished washing up.
"Uncle, why are you still lying in bed? Brother Binbin and I got up long ago!"
Lu Jun'an had almost never seen Lu Lin get up so late, it was like he had discovered a new world.
Lu Lin gritted his teeth secretly. How come this little brat has so many embarrassing questions every day?
Lu Junan didn't get a response from his uncle, so he turned around and said to Binbin seriously, "Brother Binbin, we can't be lazy like our uncle. We have to get up early and go to school. If we are late, we will be punished by standing."
Binbin also nodded, and the two children quickly reached a consensus that they would get up earlier than Lu Lin in the future and not be lazy.
After breakfast, Lu Junan sent the two children to school, while Jiang Manyue went out to "buy groceries."
Last time she figured out the location of the black market, so this time she just went there to see if she could meet a reliable trader.
Jiang Manyue took the bus to the black market.
She found the blind spot, changed her clothes, took a luggage bag, put a few buckets of milk powder with the outer packaging torn off and some canned meat, and walked into the doorway of the residential building.
Following the path that the shoe seller took her last time, Jiang Manyue successfully found the black market.
It was a busy time in the black market, so Jiang Manyue found an empty space and opened her luggage bag.
As soon as she opened the luggage bag, someone came over.
Jiang Manyue thought he was here to buy something, and was about to say hello when he asked, "Are you new here? Have you paid?"
Pay? What?
Jiang Manyue asked, and the man did not get impatient and started explaining to her.
It turns out that there is a rule in this black market. It doesn't matter if you buy things, but if you come to sell, you have to pay protection fees to the person who controls this area of the black market.
Those people have many connections and a wide network of contacts. If the higher-ups come to investigate, they will know in advance and ensure that those who come to sell things are not caught.
Jiang Manyue felt that the money was not excessive, as it could allow people to retreat safely without being caught.
"Then how much do I have to pay? Do I have to pay every time I come?"
"It's not expensive, only 30 cents a day. If you come often, just give me 5 yuan a month."
Jiang Manyue calculated that this was not expensive at all. Even if she came frequently, it would only cost five dollars a month.
Selling things on the black market is quite profitable. For people who often come here to buy things, five dollars is not a lot.
However, Jiang Manyue did not intend to pay the five dollars. She just wanted to set up a stall a few times to attract some traders to do big business with her. She did not really want to set up a stall every day.
"I'll pay thirty cents first. This is my first time here, and I'm not sure if I can sell it."
Jiang Manyue took out three cents and handed it to the toll collector. He put it in his pocket and gave Jiang Manyue something similar to a receipt.
"This is your proof. If anyone asks you if you've paid, just show it to them."
Jiang Manyue nodded and put away the receipt he gave her.
Just as the toll collector was about to leave, he took another look at Jiang Manyue's luggage bag and asked, "What are you selling?"
Jiang Manyue took out the milk powder and canned meat and showed them to him, "It's milk powder and canned meat. I wonder if anyone would buy them."
The toll collector widened his eyes. Canned meat is a rare commodity and has not been seen on the black market for a long time.
Milk powder is also a rare good product, especially the one in an iron bucket, which is much more expensive than the one in bags.
"Where did you get this? Is this all you have or do you have more?"
The toll collector looked at the canned meat and milk powder with envy, and couldn't help asking Jiang Manyue how much stock she had left.
Jiang Manyue did not hide it from him. He was a toll collector, so he must know a lot of people in the black market. Maybe he could find a good buyer through him.
"There's more than this. I can't carry too much, so I only brought this much. I have a source of goods, but I just came to Yunzhou not long ago and haven't found a suitable buyer yet, so I came to the black market to try my luck."
The toll collector's eyes lit up immediately, he looked around quickly, and said hurriedly, "Girl, put your things away and follow me. There are plenty of people to collect these things."
Jiang Manyue exclaimed, "Ah!" "Well, I just paid the booth fee..."
The toll collector quickly returned the three cents to her and said, "I won't charge you any more money. Come with me."
Jiang Manyue acted skeptical, which made the toll collector very anxious, but she finally followed.
The toll collector introduced himself to her as he walked along. "My name is Dongzi. People here call me that. I usually collect stall fees here."
Carrying the bag, Jiang Manyue followed Dongzi into a small courtyard surrounded by bungalows. The house was divided into many very small cubicles, probably used to store things.
Dongzi knocked on one of the doors and said a few words to the person inside in a very low voice. The door was opened instantly.
A middle-aged man was standing in the room. He looked Jiang Manyue up and down, then stared at the bag in her hand.
Jiang Manyue was very calm, "Let's chat here?"
The man narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned her face repeatedly, as if judging whether she was trustworthy.
Finally, the man made way and said, "Come in."
Jiang Manyue went in carrying the bag. Dongzi didn't go in, but just helped close the door and stood guard at the door.
"A new face, I haven't seen him before."
The man sat down and motioned Jiang Manyue to sit in the chair opposite him.
Jiang Manyue was very calm, "I just came to Yunzhou not long ago."
The man didn't rush to discuss the goods. He continued, "Dongzi said you have connections that allow you to get a lot of goods. Did you work in this business before?"
Jiang Manyue nodded, and the man asked again, "What's your name?"
Naming was too troublesome, so Jiang Manyue simply used the name she had previously traded with Zhou Laosan and replied calmly, "My name is Anran, what's yours, big brother?"
