South Railway Station.
"Brother Yan, wait for me. It's too heavy and I can't carry it." Xu Tao followed Xu Yan, carrying a big bag.
Xu Yan squeezed in the front and followed the crowd to get on the train.
"Follow closely."
Xu Tao gritted his teeth and looked at the bag, following Xu Yan closely, silently telling himself: This is all money, I can afford it, I can afford it!
I finally got on the bus, but because I couldn't buy a seat ticket, I stood for a whole day before reaching my destination, and then got off the bus in a hurry when I got there.
It was already midnight and there was no food left. They endured their hunger and went to the guesthouse, got a room, and rested until dawn.
Then he went out with the things in the bag.
The two of them searched for a day and sold some goods. Finally, they found the local black market and decided to go there the next day.
Before it got dark, the two of them had dinner and returned to the guesthouse, where they planned what to do tomorrow.
"Tomorrow we'll go to the black market together. You'll be on this side and I'll be on this side. Take this whistle with you. If anyone comes, blow it. When you hear the whistle, run with your stuff. Don't run this way. Get rid of those people and then circle back."
Xu Tao nodded: "Okay, I understand, brother, why do I feel that this is as exciting as being a thief."
Xu Yan chuckled and raised his eyelids to glance at him: "We are thieves now, even worse than thieves. Be careful, do you hear me? Your sister-in-law is still waiting for me at home."
Speaking of his wife, Xu Tao thought of Wei Zhiyi, and wondered if she would miss him.
I fell asleep while thinking about it.
When I woke up again, it was Xu Yan who woke me up.
I got up in a daze, took my things and went out with Xu Yan, and went to the black market one after another.
Along the way, Xu Yan told him about the price, which could not be lower than 120 yuan. After Xu Tao understood, he walked towards the other end of the black market.
Xu Yan found a place here and put a piece of cloth, and placed three watches on it. The three watches had different styles, but they looked good.
After it was put on the shelf for a while, another young woman came up and asked, "How much is this watch?"
"130 each." Xu Yan's voice was a little muffled because of the mask he was wearing, but his voice was loud.
The woman frowned when she heard it was 130, and the person next to her muttered, "130, that's a bit expensive, almost as expensive as the ones in the supply and marketing cooperatives, but it looks good."
Seeing that the woman wanted to buy it but thought it was too expensive, Xu Yan said, "130 is really not expensive. You need a ticket at the supply and marketing cooperative. I don't need a ticket, so 130 is already very cheap. Some people don't need a ticket and they charge 140 or 150.
All three are very nice. You can try them out and buy if you like them. If you don’t like them, you don’t have to buy them.
The woman was a little tempted. She squatted down and chose a style. Finally, she chose a small silver watch. Xu Yan picked it up and put it on her. The woman loved it.
The man next to him nodded repeatedly, but still felt that 130 was too expensive. He turned to Xu Yan and said, "Brother, can you make it cheaper? My girlfriend likes this watch. Can you try to make it cheaper?"
"It can't be cheaper. It costs me a lot to buy these goods. I carry them all the way back to sell them. If you don't take them, I won't make any profit, right?
And I don’t need a ticket, think about where you can buy one, right?”
Finally, the man couldn't resist Xu Yan's nice words and paid 130 yuan to buy the watch.
He followed the woman and left with a smile.
In the morning, Xu Yan sold only one piece, but Xu Tao didn't sell a single piece.
During lunch, Xu Tao was a little discouraged, while Xu Yan was wondering if they had not found a place with rich people in this city.
Just then, the sound of people talking at the table behind him attracted Xu Yan.
"I went to buy a watch today, but the supply and marketing cooperative was out of stock and said it would take two days to arrive. I couldn't wait, and I went with several other people.
I did well on the test this time, and my dad finally rewarded me with a watch, but I can't buy it and I'm so pissed." The little girl's complaining voice came from behind.
After hearing this, Xu Tao called out to Xu Yan, "Brother Yan," and raised his eyebrows at him.
Xu Yan nodded slightly.
Xu Yan didn't look back, but thought that he could go around the supply and marketing cooperative to see how many people wanted the watch.
After dinner they waited for a while and took a closer look at the little girl. She was from a wealthy family.
"Brother Yan, are we still going to the black market this afternoon?"
"Well, let's go to the black market, but let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative here first and take a look." Xu Yan said as he stood up with his bag.
Xu Tao also followed him out, and the two of them came to the supply and marketing cooperative. Xu Yan asked Xu Tao to wait for him outside while he went in to take a look.
When Xu Yan arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, he asked to buy a watch. The salesperson said they were out of watches, and several people behind him sighed.
“When will the goods be available?”
Salesperson: "It's going to be three or four days. Why are you so anxious to buy watches? There have been more than ten or twenty of them in the past two days. You didn't buy them when they were available, but now they're all here because they're sold out."
The salesperson muttered the following words in a low voice, but Xu Yan heard them.
Ten or twenty? That's enough to sell.
"How much is this watch of yours?"
Salesperson: "We have tickets for 128 yuan."
Xu Yan answered with an "OK" and went out. A few people behind him who wanted to buy watches also hesitated for a while and then went out.
As soon as they came out, they saw Xu Yan holding a watch in his hand, looking at it from left to right. They couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey, brother, where did you get this watch? Didn't you just go to buy it? Is it gone?"
