Chapter 67: Let's Settle the Account
Looking at the scene in front of him, the black market boss couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "Fortunately, I resisted the urge to act impulsively before, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous! This big sister is really powerful, and her subordinates are also very powerful. They can move so much food away without leaving even a little clue for investigation.
Fortunately, I didn't set my sights on this lady, otherwise, I can't even imagine the consequences! I only want to make some money in this black market, I don't want to do anything else, hehe, it seems my vision is still extremely accurate!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud with pride.
Let's talk about Su Mingyue again. Her main purpose in coming to the county was to buy food. This time she bought 2,200 kilograms, plus the 190 kilograms she bought last time, and the five kilograms each sent by the black market boss on two occasions, a total of 2,400 kilograms.
She roughly calculated that she could eat about 500 kilograms of food a year, which would be 1,500 kilograms in three years. Add to that Su Qingfeng. Su Qingfeng didn't eat as much as she did, but he was growing up year by year, so the food intake was still calculated at 500 kilograms a year, which would be 1,500 kilograms in three years. So their family had to store at least 3,000 kilograms of food.
But this is just an estimate, not the exact weight, so she still needs to prepare more. She also has a gold brick and 120 yuan given to her by her aunt, but she spent 65 yuan of the 120 yuan, leaving 55 yuan.
Adding the 28 yuan her second brother gave her from selling pork today and the 8 yuan from the snake, she now has 91 yuan left.
But she still had a wild boar in her space that she hadn't sold yet, so she was going to sell it today. However, this time, she wasn't going to continue selling it in the familiar black market, but was going to switch to another brand new black market, because she wanted to use the wild boar to exchange for food.
She originally had two gold bricks that she was going to use to buy food, and she had already sold one today. As for the other one, she had no intention of using it again today.
After all, for a new black market, she had never met the person in charge there, and she didn't know what kind of person he was! So it was better not to take out the gold bricks to test people's hearts easily, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble or risks.
To be honest, if she wasn't worried about attracting too much attention and thus causing a series of potential problems, she actually hoped to buy all the food she needed at once at the black market she just visited.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. A gold brick had already been taken out. If another one was taken out at this time, even those who originally had no greed would inevitably be shaken or even develop greed when seeing such tempting wealth.
She knows the principle of "don't show off your wealth", so she doesn't want to be the target of others' attention. Therefore, her biggest wish at present is to behave honestly and low-key, just like a bystander, occasionally eating some small melons and watching the excitement.
As for whether or not she could stock up on food today, it didn't mean much to her.
Even if she has stockpiled enough food today, after a while, when the whole village starts to store food, she will still need to buy some food with other villagers.
After all, everyone in the village stored food except her family. So once a year of famine came, everyone would have stored food and be able to fill their stomachs, but her family would have neither stored food nor had any food to eat. Wouldn't this situation seem extremely strange?
Therefore, she decided to exchange all the wild boars she caught today for food. If it was not enough, she could go buy food with the villagers later.
Moreover, the crops planted in the fields can also be divided into a certain amount of food when they are harvested in autumn. In this way, the food she has stored now is enough to deal with the current situation. When she buys more food with the villagers later, she only needs to buy another 1,000 kilograms of food, which will be enough for her and her brother to eat.
You know, it is almost impossible to fill your stomach by relying solely on food in rural areas.
In addition, the various vegetables she grows herself, as well as the wild vegetables that will grow all over the mountains and fields in the coming spring, can all serve as food to fill her stomach.
When the vegetables in her backyard are ripe, they will be dried and dried. When wild vegetables are available in the spring, she will dig some and dry them to make them into dried vegetables. She will eat them together with the food. This will not only enrich the variety of food, but also avoid making her house too conspicuous. ×
After all, this is how everyone in the village eats. If you just rely on pure food to survive, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others.
Therefore, if you want to get through these three terrifying years in peace and stability, the wisest thing to do is to keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious!
After Su Mingyue made up her mind, she set out to find another black market. This time, her destination was the black market in the east.
Before finding the black market, she used her mental power to find a quiet alley with few people. After entering the alley, she used her powerful mental power to carefully explore the surroundings until she was sure that there was no one around. Then Su Mingyue began to disguise herself in an orderly manner.
She skillfully took out various makeup tools and props, and first painted her face yellow and black, making her originally beautiful face suddenly become plain and plain;
Next, she picked up a burnt wooden stick and drew two thick eyebrows to make her look more masculine; then, she gently put on a wig made of her own hair and styled her hair to blend perfectly with her overall image.
Finally, she changed into her father's slightly old clothes and a pair of slightly larger shoes. Not only that, even her hands were not spared, and were evenly coated with a layer of yellow and black foundation.
When all the disguises were completed, a lively young man suddenly appeared before her. At this time, Su Mingyue, both in appearance and temperament, was completely different from the cute and lovely woman before.
In order to make the disguise more realistic, she also imitated her second brother's usual walking posture, taking big steps, slowly turning out of the alley entrance, and then walking steadily towards the east.
Along the way, she remained alert, and continued to use her mental power to explore the exact location of the black market. After a lot of searching, she finally found the black market in an abandoned factory in the east.
A few days ago, Su Mingyue felt that her hair was too long and inconvenient to take care of, so she used scissors to cut off a large section of it.
