Although it is a city-level railway station, it is only the size of a county railway station in later generations and is extremely simple.
It was also Chu Xi's first time to enter the train station in the 1970s. She had been to the train station 40 years later, and it had changed a lot compared to now.
When I entered the waiting hall, there were only a few travelers in the empty hall. There were not many trains at that time, and not many people were riding on them.
And there are also peak and off-peak seasons, and now is obviously the off-season, and everyone has something to do. After all, it is easy to get a letter of introduction, but it is difficult to get food coupons, especially national food coupons, which many city people have never seen.
It is easy to buy train tickets to Kyoto. After all, there are more trains. And you don’t need a letter of introduction to buy ordinary train tickets, just pay the money.
She wanted to buy a sleeper ticket, but her letter of introduction was not enough. The business traveler had to be of a certain level. An ordinary farmer like her could not buy one and could only sit in a hard seat.
But there is a saying that goes, money makes the world go round. With Chu Xi's money paving the way, he quickly got a sleeper ticket.
She didn't want to stay in that crowded place with complicated smells anymore.
Unfortunately, the train leaves at around 3am, so we have to wait for half a day.
Chu Xi had the urge to drive to Kyoto by herself, but the roads nowadays were very different from those in the future. She was afraid that she would get lost after a long time and there would be no one to ask for directions at night.
I hesitated for a moment, wondering if I should send a telegram. But what should I say? Had a nightmare? Missed him? Would it reach me if I was on a mission?
Never mind! Just treat it as a surprise for him.
After thinking for a while, she decided to go out for a walk.
As far as she knew, the black market existed not only in the morning, but also in the evening in some places.
It's almost eight o'clock now, and I guess most people should be resting, and those who are changing things should be coming out too...
Walking out of the train station, the mental power was released, well, it was more useful than radar.
Taking advantage of the night, Chu Xi teleported directly over.
He used his mental power to carefully observe the groups of people in the alley. Some were wearing hats, some were wearing scarves. They were hiding themselves very well. It felt more tense than the black market in the county.
The prices they traded at were not much different from those in the county, and the shortage was still on meat.
Following suit, he wrapped a scarf around his neck, carried a large backpack, and leisurely walked into the alley.
As soon as I approached the alley, two people appeared and asked, "What are you doing?" They were quite alert.
"Just exchange something." Chu Xi's tone was very calm. "50 cents for the item," the young man said directly.
He casually handed over 50 cents, went in, found an empty seat in the middle, filled the backpack and put it on the ground.
In an instant, three or four people came over. They had been staring at Chu Xi since he came in from the big backpack. As for Chu Xi, who was relatively thin in the night, he was ignored.
"What's good?" "Do you have any pork?" "Want to exchange something?"
Several vying voices came over.
Chu Xi thought about the price she had just seen. "No tickets needed. Flour is 70 cents, rice is 80 cents. They're all top quality grains. There's also some meat. 1.5 yuan per pound."
Black market prices vary greatly, so it's impossible to have a unified price. This meat price is significantly higher than in the county, and it's also related to changes in the grain supply this year.
After asking for prices, inspecting goods, weighing them, and paying for them one by one, Chu Xi sold all the goods in the basket in about an hour.
The quality of her goods easily attracted the attention of people in the alley. The rice was obviously full of grains and the white flour was pure. Several people even seemed to be repeat customers, who probably came back because they didn't bring enough money.
She did the same thing. Every time she took something out of the backpack, she would cover it immediately. The next time she took something out, she would put it directly into the backpack from the space. However, she didn't dare to be too bold. She just took advantage of the darkness here and sold about two backpacks of things before closing the stall. After all, the gatekeeper had been staring at her from a distance.
Sure enough, when she was packing up her stall, the young man with the flat head walked straight over to her.
"Girl, our boss is looking for you, come with me." He said in a very impolite tone.
Chu Xi didn't care about his attitude. She came here to find a reliable partner for long-term cooperation. If she couldn't find one, she would just look for one slowly.
I walked slowly behind him and walked around a few alleys. I found that several people were whispering in the yard in front, and I didn't know who was the leader.
The crew cut knocked on the door directly and said, "Boss, the person is here."
Chu Xi didn't hesitate to walk in through the open door, which surprised the guy with the flat head. He was really brave. I just hope he doesn't get scared later.
Then I heard the door behind me close, and the five people in the yard dispersed. What happened?
Are they trying to surround me? A thug-eating gang? Not really, just order some goods.
"Girl, I don't mean anything else. I just think your products are good, so I want to cooperate with you. Wouldn't it be safer for you this way?"
The burly man in the middle spoke. He seemed to be the boss, but his body was indeed a bit big. His fat body looked a bit like a bucket in the dark.
Chu Xi casually glanced at the other people around him and said calmly,
"Is this the way we cooperate? If you don't agree, you won't be able to leave this yard today?"
"You can ask around about my reputation as Zhang Biao. I'm absolutely honest and fair. Besides, it doesn't matter who you're working with. It's dangerous for you to come out on your own. We're just trying to make a little money."
By the end, his words were full of threats.
The most disgusting thing about Chu Xi is this. He takes advantage of others and acts like he is helping you. Of course, the main thing is that he is not afraid of being threatened.
"What if I don't agree?"
"Haha, the girl is really brave. I admire you so much." After saying that, several people moved a few steps closer.
Zhang Biao didn't expect to be humiliated by a little girl.
"Aren't you afraid that you'll be sent to some mountain valley when you wake up tomorrow?" A guy with a middle-parted hair next to him smiled obscenely.
"I grew up in fear, but I don't know how to write the word 'afraid'..."
Zhang Biao lost his patience when he saw the girl's stubborn attitude.
"Catch him."
Having said that, he turned around and prepared to go back to the house.
Chu Xi had already confirmed that these were scumbags! Many civilians must have been threatened or women trafficked by them. They were definitely not good people and deserved death!
