But Zhang Huisi didn't recognize Jiang Li at all. She was concentrating on looking at the circle of friends. "How much is this?"
"The one on your 꿠 is 1.5 yuan, this blue and white one."
"This is too expensive. It only has a few ingredients, so it shouldn't cost that much!" Zhang Hui rummaged through the remaining hair ties. "Besides, these are the ones left over from other people's shopping. If you can make it cheaper, I'll buy it for 50 cents."
"Sister, each of these hair ties is carefully made. They are all fresh goods from the south. The shipping cost is very expensive. They can't be so much cheaper.
Besides, this thing is good, so it’s worth the money. Someone just bought ten of them at once! I didn’t even bargain.”
"Oh, those people just now are from the city, and they have jobs.
I am a country woman, my husband just died, I don't have that much money. I bought this for my daughter, please give me some!"
Jiang Li's eyes widened, otherwise she had heard from Qi Qiang that Zhang Hui only had two sons, and she actually believed it.
"Sister, I really can't do it. Besides, if I give it to you, the customer who just bought something will be unhappy."
"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who else would know? That's it, fifty cents!"
Zhang Hui threw down the ticket, grabbed a gauze hairband and stood up, but was stopped by Qin Xiaoting, "Sister, you can't do this. We haven't even agreed on the price yet, and you're just taking the things and leaving. Isn't that robbery?"
"What do you mean? I paid you." Zhang Hui frowned, and the two wrinkles on her lips became deeper. She threw the hairband to the ground, "Forget it, it's so unlucky. It's so hard to do business with people like you. I don't want the things anymore. Give me back the money."
The hair tie fell on an unpaved area and was immediately covered with dust. Erika frowned, thinking that the hair tie was scrapped.
"You made our stuff dirty, how can we sell it?"
Qin Xiaoting stopped Zhang Hui and wouldn't let her leave. Jiang Li pulled out the stick that she was resting her head on and hit it hard on her leg, and the stick broke with a sound.
Zhang Hui's hair stood on end, she had forgotten that those who could come to the black market to sell things were all speculators, and what good things could they have?
"How much? I'll pay it!"
"One dollar and fifty cents!" Jiang Li said in a rough voice.
Zhang Hui trembled as she took out another dollar, threw it down, and ran away.
The stall owners who were originally selling eggs and food nearby also withdrew their eager eyes.
At first I thought the stall owner was skinny and small, and he was with a woman, so he looked like an easy target, but I didn't expect him to be so capable.
Qin Xiaoting's braised pork had been sold out a long time ago. Jiang Li thought about it and realized that there were only three hair bands left. She might as well just close the stall. She could make more next time so that they would look nice when displayed.
In addition, the look Zhang 녉慧 gave me when she left made me feel very uncomfortable.
Beep, beep, beep! A sharp whistle sounded. The stall owners who heard the sound grabbed the things on the ground and ran away. Those whose things were too heavy simply abandoned their stalls and fled.
"The red armbands are coming, the red armbands are coming."
Jiang Li and Qin Xiaoting jumped up and followed the crowd to the alley entrance.
I heard the skinny gatekeeper swearing, "He came last week, why is he here again this week? This shouldn't happen! Our informant didn't send us any news, either."
Not far from the alley, Zhang Hui pulled two red armbands, "Right there, there are people speculating and selling things privately, a man and a woman, selling those hair ties, Zhi, I want to report it!"
The red armbands looked at each other and said, "Okay, we know what you reported. You can go back first."
Seeing the two people with red armbands slowly walking towards the alley, Zhang Huilu's triumphant smile quickly collapsed, because she watched Jiang Li and Qin Xiaoting walk away, already out of the range of the black market.
The man with the red armband and the skinny monkey at the entrance of the alley nodded familiarly. The skinny monkey even nodded and bowed to the red armband and handed him a cigarette. Several people started smoking a pack of cigarettes.
The red armbands arrested a few unfamiliar faces and then went back to report.
In a blink of an eye, Zhang Hui saw the skinny man and two thugs, one tall and one short, coming over.
"You are the one who reported it, right?"
The skinny monkey spat into the bed and said, "I never hit women, except for the ones who are too mean!"
Zhang 녉 Hui was slapped so hard that she took several steps back and her cheeks quickly swelled up.
"I won't die. You have misunderstood me."
Zhang Hui explained with great enthusiasm, she was filled with fear, she didn't expect that after reporting the incident, she didn't catch the man and woman selling hair bands, but was retaliated by the people in the black market.
The skinny monkey didn't let her go. He grabbed Zhang Hui's collar and slapped her a few times. He also snatched the thick bag at her feet and said, "Get lost. Don't let me see you here again. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you."
"What a bad luck!"
Zhang Hui burst into tears, covered her face with her hands, unable to speak, and could only nod repeatedly.
Jiang Li watched the whole scene from the sidelines, "Xiaoting, as expected, she reported us."
"Luckily you kept an eye on us, so we packed up the stall in advance, otherwise we would have been sent to the board house by this woman."
Qin Xiaoting was still a little scared. Speculation and profiteering were still very serious these days.
The two of them went to a public restroom in an alley and changed their clothes and hairstyles, so that no one would recognize them.
Qin Xiaoting made twice as much braised pork today as yesterday, but it was all sold out, and Jiang Li made 2 yuan.
She felt a little embarrassed, "Xiaoting, you made this braised pork yourself, and you paid for the ingredients, but I'm just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of my labor. It's too much."
Qin Xiaoting held her arm and pinched her face, "What are you talking about, Li, if you hadn't kept an eye out for what happened today, we would have been caught.
Besides, didn't you see that when we collected the money, several men nearby were jealous and wanted to rob us of our money. If you hadn't exposed yourself, we wouldn't know if we could get home safely.
I spent 100 yuan to hire a beautiful bodyguard, and it was worth it. ”
Jiang Li was persuaded by these words and put some more money in her heart, but she still said, "Then I will only take one yuan in the future, and I don't want more."
"What are you thinking? I almost died from making 10 kilograms of braised pork yesterday. Besides, today's braised pork is a little slow to sell, and if I make more, there may be some left over, so I plan to make 10 kilograms at most."
"Besides, meat coupons are hard to exchange. I'll have to see if there are other ingredients after a while. Let's try the halved pig."
Jiang Li put it down and said, "Well, to celebrate the success of the hair band business, I will treat you to a delicious meal today."
"By the way, I don't know what happened to the report."
"Then let's go to the state-owned hotel and have a look?"
"become."
Zhang Hui covered her face and went to the clinic, where the staff gave her medicine, which cost her another two cents.
