Chapter 35 Black Market
Tongxiang is located in the southeast of Kaiyuan City in the north. It is the most lively county town in the city. It is surrounded by two-story buildings, interspersed with some shorter bungalows. These are small shops jointly operated by the public and private sectors and are registered in public institutions.
"Hey, let's go somewhere else and meet up later. We're leaving first. Taohua, this place is pretty good. Let me go in and take a look." Zhao Xiaoxue took Taohua's hand and led them into a supply store, leaving Jiang He standing there alone.
As for why there were only three of them, it was mainly because Liu Chunsheng kept Lu Yifeng and Yang Guojun on the grounds that the school was discussing construction, while Gao Youhui was sent to Chunyu's construction team in advance.
Standing at the door of the supply and marketing department, after watching Zhao Xiaoxue and Taohua go up to the second floor, Jiang He turned around and walked to the other side, coming to a small shop with a small tea cloth banner hanging on the doorplate. "The place Lu Fengfeng mentioned should be here."
"Boss, give me two taels of tea."
"What kind of tea do you want? We don't have any that are too expensive." The salesperson at the tea counter didn't even raise his eyelids.
"One ounce of Pu'er and one ounce of Longjing, divided into ten small packages." Jiang He was not angry at the perfunctory attitude of the female salesperson in front of him. In this era, materials were scarce, and some things could not be bought even if they wanted to. For example, tea and sugar were very scarce materials, so the salespersons who bought and sold these things naturally had a sense of arrogance.
The woman raised her eyebrows, then threw the melon seed shells in her hand into the trash can in front of her. The expression on her face was no longer arrogant. "Pay a ten-dollar deposit first."
Jiang He glanced at him, took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a big unity note and put it in front of her. "Is that all right?"
"Turn left and go to the third alley, the last one. Just say that it was introduced by Ms. Liu who owns the store." The woman took out a red note from the drawer, secretly stuffed it to Jiang He, then grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the counter and cracked them as if no one was around.
Jiang He didn't say anything. He walked out of the supply and marketing office and went in the direction the woman said. When he came to the entrance of the third alley, he walked towards the entrance of the fourth alley without stopping and went straight in.
Soon after he walked in, two more people followed him. Seeing the dark inside, one of them swallowed and said, "Do you really want to go in?"
"Nonsense, we both received the money. As long as we don't break his legs, the police will only detain us for a few days at most." The other man directly refuted and followed him in.
"Okay." The other person heard him say that and also mustered up the courage. The two of them walked in front and behind. However, when they reached the end, they saw only a dead end, and both sides were just the back walls of the houses. "Oh no, we've been fooled..."
"Bang." Before he could finish his words, he felt a strong wind directly against his neck, and then his whole body was kicked against the wall. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Boss, boss, how are you? Fuck, who? Come out--." The other man just shouted this when he felt a heavy kick on his back, and then he successfully met up with his eldest brother at a blind corner of the alley.
Jiang He patted the dust off his shoes, then half-knelt in front of the two men, and patted one of them on the face twice. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're really brave. You dare to follow me?" He lowered his eyes and saw that the other party was holding the wooden stick that he had just let go of when he fell. "Why are you planning to ambush me?"
