Chapter 28 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road, Enemies Encounter in the Black Market
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
As soon as Gu Yiye finished speaking, he saw Brother Lei walking over with two of his underlings.
"What good stuff are you hiding here?" Brother Lei asked.
Lin Shanshan thought that the boss in charge of the black market would be a bald man with a fierce look and a face full of fat, but she didn't expect that Brother Lei would have thick eyebrows, big eyes, a square face, and an upright appearance.
Gu Yiye replied, "I wanted to buy some wheat seeds to take back. I took more than 400 jin (200 kg), but it would be too conspicuous to bring them all back at once."
Lei Ge was very loyal and said, "Over 400 jin is indeed a considerable amount. Just let me know if you need anything, and you can leave it at my place."
"Then thank you in advance, Brother Lei."
Seeing that Gu Yiye always came to the black market alone, but today he brought a beautiful young woman, Lei Ge asked, "Xiao Ye, aren't you going to introduce her to me?"
Gu Yiye proudly said, "My wife."
Lei Ge: "You're a lucky guy, you've found such a beautiful wife. Have you set a date yet? I'll ask for a drink at the wedding."
Gu Yiye replied, "It's not decided yet, but it should be soon. I'll definitely invite Brother Lei over to join in the fun."
Lei said, "Okay, I have some things to do here. You guys take your time. Don't worry about anything here. If you run into any trouble, just let me know."
Gu Yiye nodded his thanks.
After Lei left, Gu Yiye asked, "Shanshan, are you hungry?"
Lin Shanshan glanced at the sun overhead and guessed that it must be noon.
I ate a lot this morning, so I'm not very hungry yet.
"I'm not very hungry, but I'd like to browse the black market some more."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
The two continued browsing the black market, which mostly sold food and household items, as well as luxury goods of the time, such as watches and lamps.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from over.
"Auntie, take a good look at this milk powder. It's so fine. It's a high-quality product from overseas. I guarantee your grandson will be smart and healthy after drinking it."
Yang Wenqing was enthusiastically promoting a can of milk powder from her online space.
Huang Daren stood beside her, looking at the old lady expectantly. This is how people who are doing business for the first time feel—both excited and nervous, afraid that the old lady won't buy.
The old lady asked, "How much is one can?"
Yang Wenqing thought about the prices in the 1970s and said, "60 yuan."
"What? How much? 60 yuan? That's too expensive! Why don't you just rob someone?"
The old woman suddenly became excited, shook her head, and walked away quickly.
In fact, in the 1970s, milk powder was a scarce resource. Even high-ranking officials needed a special supply certificate to buy it.
If the baby wants to drink it, a certificate from the hospital is required.
The old lady is used to being frugal, which is why she reacted so strongly. If she had taken it to the hospital, there would have been plenty of people willing to buy it.
Yang Wenqing didn't know, but Huang Daren did. When he was in Haishi, he couldn't buy milk even if he had the money.
However, now that he only wanted money, he began to complain to Yang Wenqing, saying, "You sold it too expensively. Couldn't you have lowered the price for the first order? Anyway, it was taken from your space and didn't cost you any money."
Yang Wenqing rolled his eyes at Huang Daren: "You make it sound so easy, free? Do you think it fell from the sky? I bought it with my own money."
Although most of the items in the space weren't bought, this can of milk powder was definitely purchased; it cost 385 yuan!
Of course, Yang Wenqing only thought this to himself!
Gu Yiye watched for a while and then asked, "Yesterday, Chen Meili mentioned that Yang Wenqing's face was scratched, right? How come it's all clean and white today?"
Lin Shanshan glanced at Gu Yiye sideways, but didn't say anything, her eyes were cold.
Gu Yiye shuddered, his survival instinct kicking in, and quickly explained, "Wife, it's not what you think. I didn't mean to compliment her fair skin, nor did I pay special attention to her. I just found it strange that she was bleeding yesterday, but she's all better today. Could it be related to that spiritual spring in the space?"
Lin Shanshan's expression softened after hearing this, and she nodded in response.
Gu Yiye said, "This is utterly foolish."
Lin Shanshan: "Hmm?"
Gu Yiye replied, "Is she afraid that no one will know she has a spatial ability and a spiritual spring? Instead of keeping it a secret, she flaunts it like this. People who are interested will definitely notice."
Gu Yiye is absolutely right. As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure."
Especially in this era of scarcity, once the contents of Yang Wenqing's spatial dimension are exposed, they will be stolen.
Yes.
Lin Shanshan came up with a brilliant plan to kill someone using someone else's knife!
He exchanged a glance with Gu Yiye and immediately realized that he had thought of the same thing.
Gu Yiye laughed and said, "We really are on the same wavelength."
Lin Shanshan said, "Stop joking around. We need to find someone to buy some things from her. It would be best if we could get a little of everything from her space."
"The things in her space are all good things for the future, and I want to try them out too."
Gu Yiye thought for a while, then pulled Lin Shanshan a few steps back, turned a corner, and walked up to a young man selling fountain pens, and spoke.
"Tiger, do me a favor."
The young man looked up, saw that it was Gu Yiye, and hurriedly said, "Brother Ye, what are your orders?"
Gu Yiye took out 300 yuan and gave it to Hu Zi, then whispered a few words in his ear.
After listening, Tiger said, "That's easy, I guarantee I'll complete the task."
After saying that, he handed the pen to Gu Yiye and walked towards Yang Wenqing and Huang Daren.
