Chapter 30 Black Market Transactions



Under Feifei's guidance, Wen Nuan came to the entrance of a small alley, where an old man was napping at the door.

"Master, this alley is the black market. This old man is the lookout. You have to pay to enter. 5 cents."

"Okay, let's go in quickly!" Wen Nuan said and was about to walk in.

"Hey, wait, Master!" Feifei hurriedly called out to the anxious Wen Nuan, "Master, you'd better dress up before going in. I see that everyone inside is wearing makeup."

“That’s right!”

Wen Nuan found the public restroom and said, "Fortunately, I smuggled a few clothes into the space just in case."

Wen Nuan put on all the clothes in the space, and suddenly she looked a lot fatter. She rubbed some black ash on the wall and smeared it on her face, making her whole face black. She took a piece of rag and wrapped it on her head, "Is this okay?"

Feifei circled Wen Nuan a few times, "That's enough, Master. I can't recognize you at all!"

"Okay, let's go!" Wen Nuan took out the backpack that had been placed in the space in advance, covered it with a piece of cloth, and walked towards the black market carrying it on her back.

5 cents and successfully entered the black market.

"Fei Fei, go and see if you can find the person in charge of the black market. I thought about it last night. Retail sales are risky, and I still have to buy supplies. If I can find the person in charge of the black market directly, it will be much simpler and safer to operate."

"Okay, Master, wait for my news!"

After Feifei left, Wen Nuan didn't rush to set up the stall, but strolled around to check it out.

This alley is not long, but there are quite a few people setting up stalls, but most of them are selling agricultural products from the village. After walking around, I only saw one person selling chickens and one person selling eggs.

Wen Nuan asked about the prices. Chickens were sold individually for 4 yuan each, and eggs were sold individually for 8 cents each. After looking around, Wen Nuan had an idea of ​​the prices.

Just then, Feifei came back and brought good news.

Feifei found a man patrolling the black market and led Wen Nuan to find him.

Ergou was patrolling the black market as usual when he suddenly saw a black-faced lady walking towards him. This black-faced lady was Wen Nuan.

"Who is it?" Ergou looked at the black-faced sister, Wen Nuan, warily.

"Go find your leader and discuss a deal!" Wen Nuan didn't waste any words. She put the backpack in front of Ergou and lifted a corner to show it to Ergou.

When Ergou saw that there were several pheasants in the backpack, he looked at Wen Nuan in surprise and said, "If there are only a few, there's no need to look for our boss!"

"There are a lot of them, including wild rabbits, more than thirty in total!" Wen Nuan directly revealed her trump card.

"Okay, wait!" When he heard there were more than thirty of them, Ergou's eyes lit up. He told Wen Nuan something and turned and ran away.

Wen Nuan carried the basket and found a secluded corner to wait.

After a while, Ergou came over with a dark and strong man, and Wen Nuan hurried over with the backpack on her back.

"It's you who want to ship the goods?" the black-faced man said sullenly.

"Yes, it's me!" Wen Nuan looked at the dark and strong man in front of her and felt a little scared, but she still replied calmly.

The black-faced man looked at Wen Nuan and said, "Okay, come with me!"

After saying that, he turned and walked to the other end of the alley, and Wen Nuan quickly followed with the backpack on her back.

After walking to the end of the alley and turning a corner, they came to the door of a small courtyard. The black-faced man walked forward and knocked three times.

"who?"

"I!"

Then the door opened, and the black-faced man walked straight in, followed by Wen Nuan.

The yard was clean and empty. There was nothing there except a table and four stools.

The person who just opened the door was a tall and thin man. When he saw the dark-faced man and Wen Nuan entered the yard, he closed the door.

The black-faced man walked to the front of the main room and said, "Boss, I'm back!"

After a while, a middle-aged man in a blue and black double-breasted jacket came out.

He looked at Wen Nuan with a smile, "Is this the girl who has pheasants and rabbits?"

After years of struggling in society in her previous life, Wen Nuan knew that the smiling middle-aged man in front of her was unfathomable and the kind of person who should not be offended.

"Boss, I do have the goods!" Being surrounded by three big men, Wen Nuan was extremely nervous. She regretted coming in like this. She should have asked Fei Fei to find out more.

Seeing that Wen Nuan was a little nervous, the middle-aged man said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, sister. I am an honest businessman. As long as your goods are good, I won't owe you a penny, and I will definitely let you leave here safely."

Wen Nuan knew it was too late to regret now and could only hope that what he said was true.

Wen Nuan put down the backpack, lifted the cloth on top, and removed the wild vegetables on top, revealing the pheasants and rabbits underneath. In order to avoid the inconvenience of getting goods on the black market, Wen Nuan directly carried the largest backpack at the educated youth point and put all the pheasants and rabbits in it. Fortunately, Wen Nuan had taken the powerful pills, otherwise she would not be able to carry it at all.

“It’s all here!”

When the middle-aged man saw that the basket was full of pheasants and rabbits, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Heizi, pour it out!"

The black-faced man, also known as Heizi, obediently stepped forward, picked up the backpack, then turned it upside down and poured out all the pheasants and rabbits.

The tall and thin man who opened the door stepped forward and fumbled around a few times, "Boss, these are all fresh goods, no wounds!"

Upon hearing that there were no wounds, the middle-aged man looked at Wen Nuan in surprise, but didn't say anything.

"Boss, there are 15 pheasants and 17 rabbits in total!"

Wen Nuan took out the pheasants and rabbits that had been placed in the space.

"Big sister, let's not waste time. Your goods are great. I'll take them all! I'll give you 3.5 yuan for a pheasant and 5.5 yuan for a rabbit. What do you think?"

After hearing the price, Wen Nuan felt it was acceptable. "Okay, I'll do as you say, Boss!"

"Great! The total is 146 yuan. Go get the money, Haozi!"

"Wait a moment!"

"What's wrong, big sister?"

"I wonder if the boss has any goods here. I want to buy something directly."

"No problem, big sister, just tell me what you want, and I'll ask Haozi to prepare it!"

"I need 20 feet of coarse cloth, two kilograms of dates, two kilograms of brown sugar, two kilograms of White Rabbit, one kilogram of fruit candy, 30 kilograms of cornmeal, and 5 kilograms of millet. Let's take these first," Wen Nuan asked for some urgent things first.

After Wen Nuan finished speaking, the middle-aged man waved to the tall and thin man in the yard, that is, Haozi, and Haozi went into the house.

"Sit here and wait for a moment, sister. Mouse will be ready in a moment!"

Wen Nuan saw that the middle-aged man looked pretty good at the moment, so she thought for a moment and said, "I wonder if the boss will accept wild ginseng?"

"Wild ginseng! You have wild ginseng?!" The middle-aged man stood up excitedly after hearing the warm words, "Take it, sister! I'll buy it at a high price!"

"I have a wild ginseng that is 70 or 80 years old. I wonder if you like it?"

"Of course you can. Can you show it to me?"

Wen Nuan reached into her coat pocket and took out a paper bag, which contained the wild ginseng she had dug earlier.
