Chapter 101

Mao Goudan's screams of pain came from the opposite room. It seemed that he had accidentally fallen.

Tang Wan ignored him and pulled out the silver needle from Mao Goudan's mother.

It might take a while for her to wake up.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Tang Wan quickly left Mao Goudan's house.

It was already bright outside, and Tang Wan took out her bicycle only after she reached the village entrance.

She rode her bike into town just in time to buy some wool.

Maybe it was because she came early, there were not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative at that moment.

"Hello, comrade, I want some wool."

Tang Wan said politely to the members of the supply and marketing cooperative.

She was wearing a Dacron top and was neatly dressed.

Member Liu Fen puts the wool on the counter.

"Comrade, these wool yarns are one yuan per pound. I need a note. What color do you want?"

There were not many colors of wool in this era, only gray, black and white.

Tang Wan simply ordered one pound of each color because she didn't have many tickets.

Just after giving the bill, Liu Fen suddenly lowered her voice and asked Tang Wan.

"Comrade, we have some unevenly dyed wool. No tickets required. 50 cents a pound. Do you want some?"

As she said this she looked around cautiously.

It seems that she obtained these defective wool yarns through special channels.

"Let me see it." Tang Wan was a little tempted. After all, it was half the price.

Liu Fen took out a few balls of yarn from under the counter.

It's all red, but the dyeing is not uniform, the flaws are not big.

"How is it?" Liu Fen said in a low voice.

"This was given to me by my uncle who works in the textile factory, and the quantity is not much.

I just like you because you are gay. I wouldn’t show it to anyone else.”

These are all defective products and are not easy to sell. This is the only way Liu Fen can deal with them.

"Give me ten pounds."

Tang Wan thought of her parents who lived in the cowshed, so that no one would criticize the inferior quality of the sweater.

Moreover, she carefully touched the quality of the wool and found that it was definitely warm enough.

"So many?"

Liu Fen was a little surprised, but the smile on her face never faded.

She took out ten kilograms of wool from under the counter and gave Tang Wan a cloth bag.

"Thank you!" Tang Wan gave five yuan, then put the wool in the backpack and left the supply and marketing cooperative.

She went to the post office again and found her two receipts.

One article was accepted by the newspaper, and another was returned, so she sent the new one away.

After receiving another thirty yuan, Tang Wan found a deserted place and went into the space to change her clothes.

When she came out again, there was more meat and food in her backpack.

She walked around looking for her target.

Suddenly, I saw a woman with a basket sneaking into an alley.

Could that be the legendary dark market?

Tang Wan's heart moved. She was a little curious about what the dark market was like.

So Tang Wan tightened her headscarf and quickly followed the old lady.

After walking a little further into the alley, Tang Wan saw a brick and tile house.

A yellow-haired young man was standing at the door of the tile-roofed house. The old lady seemed to have given him some money and went in.

When Tang Wan walked in, the yellow-haired boy raised his chin slightly and asked her.

"Buy or sell?"

"sell!"

Tang Wan's voice trembled slightly, and she was very glad that she had put on makeup before coming here.

At this moment, even if Lu Huaijing was in front of her, he might not be able to recognize her.

"Five points."

The yellow-haired boy spoke calmly, and he was obviously used to this kind of operation.

Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, gave the money, and quickly walked into the brick and tile house.

After entering, she found that there were quite a lot of people inside.

The square brick and tile house looks a bit like an indoor basketball court in later times.

The place was filled with vendors, all wearing grey clothes and covering themselves up tightly.

Some even wore face masks.

People who were buying things also wore hats and moved around carefully.

Tang Wan was not in a hurry to sell things. She first walked around the market carrying a basket on her back.

After understanding the approximate prices, she squatted down in a corner far away from the gate.

Then she grabbed a handful of rice in her hand, which she had taken out from the Space Mall.

"Big sister, how much is this rice?"

Soon someone discovered Tang Wan's rice, and the voice sounded like that of a middle-aged man.

"Two cents, no ticket."

Tang Wan also imitated them and spoke in a hoarse voice.

No one knows anyone else after leaving this door.

"How many do you have? I want them all."

The man waved his hands generously, seeming to be a wealthy man.

Tang Wan glanced at him warily, then said carefully:

"Not much, probably only ten pounds."

It was Tang Wan’s first time in the dark market and she was afraid of being targeted.

"Ten pounds is fine, sister, do you have anything else?"

There was a trace of inquiry in the man's eyes, and Tang Wan noticed it sharply. She said:

"There's some more rations, brother, would you like some?"

"Forget about the coarse food." The man shook his head and handed Tang Wan two yuan.

Tang Wan gave the man ten kilograms of rice. After the man left, Tang Wan changed her location and continued selling things.

She was afraid of being targeted by the man, so she only sold coarse grains.

After selling about thirty or forty kilograms, Tang Wan was hesitating whether to take out more things to sell.

Suddenly there was a commotion.

"The street police are here, run!"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, don't take the things, your life is at stake!"

“…”

The people around him ran away, and Tang Wan was no exception.

She held the backpack and quietly threw the remaining things in the backpack into the space.

These people ran to the small doors around them with familiarity.

Tang Wan also ran very fast, but was pushed into an alley.

When she turned around, she found that many people around her were gone.

Thinking that they had scattered while escaping, Tang Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly I found myself running into a dead end.

Just as she was about to turn back, a scream came from the alley next door.

"stop!"

Then a large package was thrown over from the next alley.

Then it landed right at Tang Wan's feet.

Tang Wan stared at the huge package in front of her in amazement.

I suddenly realized that the other party might have chosen to destroy the evidence out of desperation.

There was no one around, so Tang Wan entered the space with her package.

Sure enough, about two minutes later, waves of footsteps were heard in the alley.

He is from the street office.

"Hey, I just saw him throw the package over."

"Where is the stuff? Could it be that his accomplices took it away?"

"This is evidence of speculation. Hurry! Look for it everywhere."

“…”

Tang Wan was sitting in the space. When she opened the package, she was stunned.

She was sure it was speculation because there was a lot of food and cloth in the package.

What is even more shocking is that there are many old items inside.

This was probably what the man got in exchange for his supplies.

I don’t know who the owner of this thing is?

Tang Wan felt it was a bit hot to accept it.
