She came to the guard at the door and said in a low voice, "I have a batch of good goods here. I wonder if your boss is willing to accept them."
After saying this, she and the guard walked to a relatively quiet corner. She gently lifted the cloth on the basket, revealing the snow-white flour inside.
The moment the guard saw the flour, his eyes lit up.
In this era of material scarcity, such high-quality flour is undoubtedly a scarce treasure.
He quickly said, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go find our boss."
So the guard ran to the inner courtyard like a gust of wind and found Gu Changmu's two brothers.
These two brothers are well-known figures in the black market and have seen a lot of good things in their daily lives.
But when they heard the guard say that someone had such good stuff, they couldn't help but feel surprised and curious.
They immediately followed the guards to where Yue Yue was. When they saw Yue Yue and the flour in her basket, they already had some ideas in their minds.
One of the gentle-looking men said, "Auntie, how many of these good things do you have? We want them all."
Yue Yue lowered her head and pretended to think for a moment.
In fact, she was mentally prepared.
There were tens of thousands of kilograms of food in her space, all of which she had carefully prepared for this transaction.
So, she said, "There are still tens of thousands of pounds of this kind of good stuff. I also have some fruit. I wonder if you would like to buy it."
Yue Yue’s words surprised the two brothers even more.
In the winter in Northeast China, fruit is an extremely precious hard currency, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.
They immediately realized that this was an excellent business opportunity.
So, they decided without hesitation to cooperate with Yue Yue and buy the flour and fruits from her.
And at this time, Gu Changmu happened to come to the town.
Last time, because of his meritorious service in reporting spies, his status and treatment in the village were significantly improved.
Recently, his family's life in the village has been much better, and he can finally have time to rest after work like other villagers.
In fact, this was not only because of his contribution in reporting the spies, but more importantly, the arrival of that group of soldiers last time made everyone in the village feel that their family would turn things around.
Therefore, the villagers' attitude towards their family also changed, and they began to turn a blind eye to some things.
Gu Changmu was walking in the black market when he accidentally saw Yue Yue and his two brothers talking.
When the two brothers saw Gu Changmu coming, they were very happy, as if they had seen their backbone.
Gu Changmu looked at Yue Yue's outfit curiously. He always felt that this person was inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't tell where he had seen him.
Yue Yue's carefully disguised makeup completely concealed her original appearance and features, leaving Gu Changmu confused for a moment.
When Gu Changmu learned that Yue Yue had good stuff and wanted to make a deal, he did not hesitate but agreed to the deal.
After all, in this special period, it is a rare thing for them to find such a good source of goods.
Seeing that the transaction was going smoothly, Yue Yue agreed with them to conduct the formal transaction in the dilapidated temple in the south of the city at three o'clock in the afternoon.
She also specifically reminded Gu Changmu and others to prepare banknotes. If they did not have enough banknotes, they could use gold bars and antiques instead.
She is well aware that in this special trading environment, all forms of currency may have their value.
After saying this, Yue Yue opened the basket and took out the eggs, flour, apples, and pears inside, asking them to check their quality. These foods shone with an attractive luster in the sun, and their quality was excellent.
Seeing such good quality, Gu Changmu and others became more determined to cooperate with Yue Yue.
They decided to purchase these goods at a high price. After all, such good things are hard to come by in the market.
Then the two brothers hurried away to raise the funds needed for the transaction.
Gu Changmu sent Yue Yue out of the black market.
During this process, Yue Yue remained vigilant, worried that her identity would be discovered.
Although Gu Changmu had doubts in his heart, he did not ask too many questions.
Yue Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Gu Changmu did not chase her.
She found an empty corner, quickly changed out of her clothes, and returned to her original appearance.
At this time, it was just past ten o'clock. Yue Yue thought, since she was in town, she might as well try her luck somewhere else and see if she could find something useful.
She suddenly remembered that there might be some discarded books and materials in the recycling station, and maybe there would be the college entrance examination papers that she needed.
So she decided to go to the recycling station to find out.
She went to the state-owned restaurant and bought a dozen large meat buns.
The steaming buns exuded an enticing aroma. She couldn't help but eat one, and then carefully put the rest into the space.
With anticipation for the unknown, she came to the recycling station.
At the door of the garbage recycling station, an old man was sitting there leisurely guarding it.
Yue Yue walked forward with a kind smile on her face.
She took out two large meat buns from the space, handed them to the old man at the door, and said, "Uncle, can I go in and find some newspapers? Winter is getting colder, and I want some newspapers to paste on the windows."
The old man looked at the big meat bun in front of him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
