Chapter 352

"Aunt Tang, my grandma knows you're going to have a holiday, so she made some sticky rice dumplings and asked me to give you some to thank you for your help."

Compared to Auntie Hu's lavish spending, Xiaodong's grandmother was much smarter and only wrapped a few sticky rice dumplings in oil paper.

It wasn’t a big gift, and Tang Wan felt embarrassed to refuse it.

"No need, Xiaodong, you and grandma can keep it for later."

Tang Wan knew that Xiaodong's family was not well off and that he lived with his grandmother, so sticky rice dumplings must be very precious to them.

"Aunt Tang, this is a gift from my grandma."

Xiaodong stared at Tang Wan stubbornly, "Grandma said it's not something expensive.

Aunt Tang dislikes things made by us country folks?"

"No, no, I'll keep it."

Tang Wan's smile faded a little as she took the oil paper package, which was still warm.

Before she could speak, Shitou grinned and said, "Aunt Tang, you took Xiaodong's sticky rice dumplings.

I also need to collect the nuts that my mother prepared. There aren’t many of them. They are hazelnuts that she roasted. They are perfect for eating during the Chinese New Year.”

Shitou handed over a small cloth bag, which contained a bag of fragrant hazelnuts.

It smells really good!

It wasn’t much, Tang Wan accepted it with a smile, “Okay, thank your grandmother and your mother for me.”

As she spoke, she put down the backpack and took out two bags of brown sugar from it while hiding behind Yao'er.

"I accept your New Year gifts, so you should also accept my New Year gifts. It's a matter of reciprocity, right?"

There wasn’t much brown sugar in these two small packets, but brown sugar was expensive, so the two of them didn’t notice what was inside.

Xiaodong refused subconsciously, "Aunt Tang, we can't..."

"I haven't rejected you yet, are you going to reject me?"

Tang Wan stuffed the brown sugar into the two children's hands and said, "Okay, take it back.

Consider it my New Year gift to you. See you next year."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Tang."

Shitou nodded vigorously and pulled the tangled Xiaodong, "Auntie Tang is right, we are just exchanging gifts, don't spoil the fun.

Otherwise, Aunt Tang won’t take us out to play next year, and I still want eggs.”

"All right."

Xiaodong then listened to Shitou's words, and the two of them went home with the brown sugar in their hands.

Tang Wan had just put the things away when Aunt Hu appeared with a hot oil-paper package.

"You even accepted the children's things, so you can't not accept my kindness, right?"

Fearing that Tang Wan might misunderstand, Auntie Hu immediately said, "Don't worry, it's not something valuable.

This is the tofu we just made today. I fried the soaked tofu and you can take it back and use it to cook.

This is not worth the money. If you refuse it again, I will be really angry?"

"Okay, thank you, Auntie Hu."

This time Tang Wan did not refuse, but before she could take out the return gift, Aunt Hu stuffed the gift into her hands and ran away quickly.

He looked as if he was afraid that she would refuse.

Tang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She noticed that there were many people in her family, probably many relatives and friends came to help.

After all, the process of making and frying tofu in her family is tedious and complicated.

Tang Wan threw tofu into the space under the cover of the backpack, and then took the children down the mountain.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, she found an empty spot and put the children in the space.

Then he took out his bicycle and rushed towards the town.

Tang Wan hadn't been to the town for a long time and had been staying in Huzhuang Brigade. To be honest, she was unfamiliar with the supply and marketing cooperative and the state-owned hotel.

Maybe it’s because it’s Chinese New Year, there are so many people in both the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores.

It's impossible to squeeze in, every household is buying New Year's goods.

But she arrived late and there was no meat left in the butcher's shop.

Tang Wan: …

After thinking about it, she found an empty alley, disguised herself, and found the black market without much skill to sneak in.

Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are twice as many people in the black market as usual.

Tang Wan carried a backpack and disguised herself as a middle-aged woman. She had room for all these things.

Tang Wan was too lazy to buy anything, so she took out a lot of things from the space mall to sell.

Chicken, duck, pork, flour and rice, Tang Wan made a fortune.

Seeing that more and more people were paying attention to her, Tang Wan was worried that she was being targeted, so she stopped and quickly left the black market.

But she realized this too late, and she didn't expect that she would still be targeted.

However, as soon as she came out of the black market, she realized someone was chasing her, so Tang Wan ran very fast.

"stop!"

There was someone waiting in front of the alley, so Tang Wan was forced into a dead end.

Her eyes turned cold, and she was thinking about how to force her way in when the leader suddenly said:

"Sister, don't get excited. Let's talk it over. We are not enemies. We just want to make a deal with you."

The man who was speaking was about the same age as Tang Wan in disguise, and had a mature look.

At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Tang Wan's back.

Tang Wan was very thankful that she did not dare to take out too many things in order to expose the space. Plus, her backpack was big, so these people should not be suspicious.

“Is this your attitude towards doing business?”

Tang Wansha spoke in a hoarse voice and glanced at the people in front and behind her. She hadn't been to the black market for too long and almost fell flat on her face.

"Of course I want to ask the eldest sister to talk to our boss."

The man Da Hu laughed loudly, then clapped his hands, and someone brought chickens, ducks and even rice and flour.

They were the ones that Tang Wan had just sold.

Tang Wan:!!!

She was now particularly thankful that what she was selling was not a living thing. She really shouldn't look down on people of this era.

"Sister, your rice and flour are of great quality. We would like to discuss a deal with you. Please come in!"

Da Hu made a gesture of inviting you, and although it was just a please, it sounded a bit tough.

There were so many people, Tang Wan couldn't do anything about them, so she just followed him and said in a show of power:

"Since you know the quality of my stuff, you should know that I am not alone.

If I don't go back later, my companions will probably expose your black market.

Don't blame me for not reminding you not to offend the wrong people."

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Da Hu's expression became a little more serious.

Tang Wan was right. Anyone who could produce something of this quality must have someone behind him.

It seems that he will have to persuade the boss to be polite to her later.

The black market that was established with great difficulty cannot be destroyed easily.

After passing through several alleys, Tang Wan noticed that they were almost at the back of the black market.

The gate of the courtyard was wide open. Da Hu asked his men to wait outside and then shouted something into the house.

"Boss, I brought a ..."

He glanced at Tang Wan and ran into the house first. I don't know what he said when he took Tang Wan in.

Tang Wan saw a woman with a scar on her face. Yes, their boss was a woman!

The woman seemed to be in her thirties, and her sharp eyes fell on Tang Wan.

Then he said to Da Hu:

"You go out first, leave this to me."

"Yes, Boss."

As soon as Da Hu went out, Tang Wan noticed that the rice and flour that she had just sold was placed on the boss's table.

The other party examined it carefully and asked Tang Wan, "Girl, where did you get this from?"
