Chapter 22 Sweet White Rabbit Toffees (2/3)



This time.

Qiao Anle used her spoon to scoop a spoonful of yellow egg custard and fed it directly to Li Fengbei's mouth.

Natural and intimate.

Li Fengbei opened his mouth, took the spoon that Qiao Anle had used, and ate the egg custard.

There was smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

Nod slightly.

"Well, the egg custard is delicious and tender."

Qiao Anle was so absorbed in eating that she didn't notice the man's ambiguous look at her.

Instead, he ate several mouthfuls of egg custard.

When they came out of the state-owned restaurant, Qiao Anle's belly was already slightly bulging from eating so much.

She licked the corner of her mouth, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

"Li Fengbei, where are we going next? Should we go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and wait there?"

"Don't go to the supply and marketing cooperative yet. The goods there don't arrive that quickly. Don't you have somewhere else you want to go? I'll take you there."

Is there another place?

Qiao Anle couldn't even remember where she mentioned.

As Li Fengbei led her into the alley, they turned a few corners, just like walking in a maze, and kept turning in the alley.

"I've never been here before. I heard about it from the head of the grain station. It should be right here. I have a good sense of direction, so I won't go wrong."

The man looked at the road with a burning gaze and spoke meticulously.

Qiao Anle had already remembered it by now.

It's the black market.

When she heard that she could come to the county town, she mentioned three places: the supply and marketing cooperative, the state-owned restaurant, and the last one was the black market.

Li Fengbei took her to the first two places.

I didn’t expect that Li Fengbei also remembered the last one.

And I asked my friends for the news early on.

They walked through countless alleys, and everything around them looked the same, but gradually, more and more people passed by them.

In some corners of the alley, there are people wearing turbans or hats that cover half of their faces and carrying bamboo baskets in their arms.

They're here!

This is the black market, for sure.

The reason why the black market is called a black market is that it is not a market in the true sense of the word.

Instead, it is an underground place used directly by ordinary people for private transactions in this special era.

So small alleys with twists and turns and hidden and inconspicuous corners like this are the best.

Even if people with red armbands came, they could immediately find themselves slipping into the alleys and would definitely not be caught.

Qiao Anle had only heard of the black market but had never seen it.

"I want to exchange five kilograms of sweet potatoes for one kilogram of food coupons. Do you want it?"

"My dear wife, would you like some red dates? Red dates are the best for replenishing a woman's essence and blood. You can exchange them with food coupons, or you can buy them with real money. They are not expensive, only 2.5 yuan per pound, and they are all top-quality red dates."

"My dear wife, take a look at my walnuts. They are good for your brain and body. Both your children and men can eat them. Don't go away. Take a closer look."

Rather than buying things, Qiao Anle seemed to be strolling around.

She looked at the people's clothes and secretly memorized them.

Those people are very vigilant and usually don't speak easily. They will only greet people after they have approached and observed them to make sure there is no problem.

It's usually food and drinks, and the price is not expensive.

Food coupons and cloth coupons are equivalent to hard currency, and those people are most willing to receive them.

If you buy it with money, it will be a few cents more expensive.
