In front of the county supply and marketing cooperative.
Wen Wan was dressed simply, carrying a small basket in his hand, and scanned the people coming and going. He found an opportunity to approach a gentle-looking auntie and asked with a smile, "Auntie, I want to ask you something."
The aunt took a step back and looked at the little girl in front of her with vigilant eyes. Wen Wan deliberately lowered his voice, "Aunt, I heard that there is an alley where you can buy and sell things now, do you know?"
"Aren't you from here?" the aunt asked.
Wen Wan rubbed his eyes and twisted his hands nervously. "My mother asked me to go to the city to visit my cousin who was in the hospital. I wanted to buy some things, but I didn't have a ticket. I heard from passers-by that you can buy things in that alley."
The aunt looked at her plain clothes and the few eggs in her basket, and nodded in understanding. "I know the place. Go straight from here and you will see a small restaurant. There is a small alley next to it. Turn in and go straight and you will see it, but you have to be careful." The aunt kindly reminded.
Wen Wan nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Auntie. I will be careful."
Wen Wan followed the aunt's instructions and came to the entrance of the alley. Standing at the entrance, she took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to walk in. The alley was very narrow, with dilapidated houses on both sides. Some of the houses had their doors closed, while some were half-open, and you could see that they were filled with all kinds of debris. Wen Wan walked carefully, her eyes fixed on the alley.
Well, she did a good job of portraying a girl who had just arrived in the county and couldn’t find her way around.
After hearing this, the auntie enthusiastically pointed the way, "Yes, you can buy it. Go out of this alley, walk about 200 meters ahead, turn left and you will see it."
Wen Wan's mouth curled up instantly, and she thanked him sweetly, "Auntie, thank you, you are such a good person."
She had miscalculated on the way and thought that the free market in the county town was also next to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"You're welcome. Go quickly. If you're late, all the good things will be sold out." The aunt waved her hand with a smile on her face, and one or two fewer wrinkles on her face.
Knowing where the destination was, Wen Guan quickly followed the aunt's instructions. On the way, he found an empty corner and took out the backpack that had been prepared long ago from the space.
"Girl, would you like to buy some rice? Freshly milled rice."
"Brother, I'll just take a look." Wen Wan walked over with a smile.
She is not here to buy things, selling things is her ultimate goal.
She also found that the management in the county town was even laxer than in the town. She saw that some of the stalls were not formal stalls, and they were already set up outside in the alleys.
If she hadn't seen the words posted on the wall of the alley just now, she would have thought she had mistakenly entered the black market.
After walking a little further inside, Wen Guan kept his eyes open as he walked. The people setting up stalls were selling all kinds of things, including food, clothing, and daily necessities, and even bicycles.
Of course, it's about second-hand bicycles.
But when she looked at it carefully, she found that the wheels and handlebars of the bicycle did not seem to be the same set, so she probably assembled it herself and sold it.
Although she knew about this method, she didn't have the channels or skills, so she just took a look at it.
After walking around from beginning to end, Wen Wan walked back and saw that the other party didn’t have much stuff left.
"Boss, would you like to buy some red date cake?" Wen Guan asked in a low voice.
Wu Yong, who was about to close his stall, paused and his eyes twitched. Where did this dealer come from and resell things into his hands?
"What did you say?" Wu Yong scratched his ears nonchalantly.
Wen Guan's expression remained unchanged, and he repeated, "Boss, I see your stall is selling very quickly, and most of them are food. I wonder if you will buy the red date cakes?"
