The next morning, the sky was gray and not yet bright.
As the breeze blew gently, Wen Jianguo finished the multi-grain steamed bun in his hand in two or three bites, then rode his bike with Wen Wan and quickly rushed into the city.
Originally, last night, Wen Wan suggested that she take a ox cart into the city with him in the morning.
However, Cui Yulan and Wen Dafu disagreed. Taking the ox cart meant that Wen Wan would need to get up an hour earlier than taking a bicycle.
In the end, the task of sending the person off fell on the young and strong Wen Jianguo.
Wen Jianguo was happy to do so. Now he could only ride his bicycle when he was picking up or dropping off Wen Wan. Normally the bicycle was locked in the room and could not be used.
It was only 7:30 when we arrived in town. Wen Wan pointed ahead and said, "Brother, go a little bit in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, then turn right and there is an alley."
Before Wen Jianguo could figure out what to do, his feet had already started moving according to the instructions.
Arriving at Ning'an Lane and seeing the stalls inside, Wen Jianguo pulled Wen Wan to the side, his tone full of nervousness and worry, "Xiao Wan, why did you bring me to the black market? My parents told me not to come."
"Brother, what are you thinking? This is a permitted free market." Wen Guan shrugged and waved to Zhang Tao.
Wen Jianguo was a little convinced. How come he had never heard of any free market? Seeing Wen Guan looking relaxed, Wen Jianguo leaned over to take a look again.
Well, the people setting up stalls didn’t seem to be afraid, and many people walked past him with baskets hanging on their backs, buying things openly.
"The public security comrade is coming over." Seeing a public security officer in police uniform asking the price of something on the other side of the alley, Wen Jianguo finally confirmed whether that was the case.
"Xiao Wan, can I bring the eggs from home here to sell?" Wen Jianguo's face was full of anticipation and happiness, as if he saw a lot of money flying towards him.
Wen Wan shook his head. "Brother, no, those who set up stalls have to register with the government departments, and there are only so many places available."
Seeing the frustration on Wen Jianguo's face, Wen Wan couldn't help but touch her nose. She felt uneasy and didn't mention buying the stall.
"Brother, I'll go buy four scallion pancakes and bring them back for mom and the others to try." As he spoke, Wen Guan was already standing in front of Zhang Tao's stall.
Now Zhang Tao’s stall not only sells scallion pancakes, but also rice, eggs, mountain products, etc. behind him.
These were when Wen Guan asked Zhang Tao for help to buy things. Zhang Tao discovered the business opportunities there, and other stalls also followed suit and displayed everything.
However, those people are all from the city, and they cannot compare with Zhang Tao, who has the entire Zhangjia Village as a warehouse, in terms of supplies.
Zhang Tao was frying pancakes in his hands while calling out, "Sister Wen Wan, are you going to pack the four of them together or separately?"
The man next to him is Wen Wan's boyfriend. They look like a good match and look a bit alike.
"Pretend it together. I'll ask my brother to take it home to eat." Wen Wan pointed out the identity of Wen Jianguo next to her. She did not miss the gossip flashing in Zhang Tao's eyes.
Zhang Tao realized that he had seen it wrong, and changed the topic enthusiastically: "Xiao Wan's brother, our pancakes are loved by everyone in the town. If you eat them, you should come often in the future."
"Okay, it smells good. I will definitely come here often in the future." Wen Jianguo smiled politely.
I muttered to myself that it was not worth it to charge ten cents for a scallion pancake without any meat on it, so I would not come here often.
In two or three minutes, Zhang Tao packed four scallion pancakes and handed them over. "They're fresh out of the pan. Be careful of the heat."
