I have to say, Ye Yu is indeed a very good girl; at least she carried the dumpling all the way to the market before handing it over to Ye Wanying.
She took the dumpling: "Yu, where do you sell eggs?" She seemed to have quite a few eggs in her own space!
"I sell them here; those sold in large quantities are all taken to the black market over there!"
Just when Ye Yu was about to doze off, someone brought her a pillow – unexpectedly, he blurted out everything he'd been wanting to know: "Black market? Is there a black market here?"
Forgive Ye Wanying for never having been to the market in her life. Before marrying into the Gao family, she always helped her mother with housework. After marrying into the Gao family, there was no way she could come to the market; she had endless chores to do and constant scolding...
"It's over there, in the alley past the bridge! But cousin, don't go there, it's very 'chaotic' there!" Ye Yu said, still looking scared, but little did she know that Ye Wanying was already getting excited.
Ordinary people might be reluctant to step into the black market, since black markets, no matter where they are, belong to the shadowy world where people die all the time. But danger often coexists with business opportunities. Besides, Ye Wanying was able to dominate the world in the apocalypse, so she wasn't worried about the black market.
"I know, no need to go. Oh, by the way, Yu, I'll buy some things for Tuanzi. You go sell the eggs first, and then you can go for a stroll. We'll meet at the intersection at noon!"
Ye Yu nodded, then added with some concern, "Okay, cousin, you're not familiar with this place, so don't wander off!" It would be troublesome if you got lost.
...
After the two separated, Ye Wanying wanted to buy a baby carrier, as it was inconvenient to hold the child like this. However, when she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, she was told that she needed a ration coupon!
It was only then that Ye Wanying suddenly remembered that in 1988, it was indeed an era in which various coupons were needed, and since the suspenders were made of cloth, they naturally required cloth coupons.
Helpless, he could only leave the supply and marketing cooperative with his child, bypassing the area where Ye Yu was located, and quietly approaching Hei Sheng.
I had already taken a large bag of rice from my space when no one was around, and I borrowed the carrying basket from a family by the roadside.
Upon reaching the entrance of the black market, they were surprised to find someone guarding it. Seeing Ye Wanying holding a young baby, one of the guards stepped forward and said, "Miss, you can't just enter this place!"
Ye Wanying smiled at the man and said, "Brother, I know. My family is really struggling to make ends meet, so I have no choice but to sell my rice to earn money!"
Fortunately, Ye Wanying was sallow and thin because of the two years of torment she suffered in the Gao family, and she really looked like someone from a poor family who couldn't make ends meet.
Sure enough, the man frowned slightly, but in the end, he didn't say anything and let Ye Wanying go in.
The black market was actually quite crowded, with people buying things and others buying things. There were also various food stalls and tea shops on both sides of the road.
After a cursory glance, Ye Wanying didn't look at it much and carried the child deeper into the black market. Unexpectedly, she hadn't gone far when someone patted her on the back.
Fortunately, Ye Wanying was very calm and composed. Otherwise, if this person had sneaked up from behind and patted her on the back, she probably would have been thrown to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Turning her head, she looked at the person in front of her and asked, "Auntie, is there something you need?"
The elderly woman appeared to be in her fifties or sixties. Although her clothes were old, they were very clean, and she exuded a special kind of charm.
