Chapter 26 Black Market

"Well, then I'll take them all. You're such a jerk, old lady. Next time I come to buy, you'd better give me a discount!" The woman said while counting the bills in her hand.

"Okay! Okay! I'll give you a discount next time." Tong Xiayue said politely.

The woman returned home with the things she bought. Although the price was not cheap, the quality was really impeccable!

Tong Xiayue was also happy to make her first business. She didn't expect that she would sell all the things she took out from the space in just a few minutes. This business is really a steady profit!

The first business netted her 18 yuan!

Tong Xiayue put away the money she earned. Not long after, a tall middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties came up to her, looked at the basket of mushrooms in front of her and asked, "Auntie, what are you carrying?"

Tong Xiayue looked at the man in front of her. He was tall, looked upright, and was dressed in a simple cloth. He didn't look like a bad guy.

So she lifted a corner of the cloth to reveal the mushrooms inside.

"Are these all wild?"

Tong Xiayue said, "Of course not! My family and I picked them up in the mountains! They are fresh!"

"How much do you sell them?" the man asked.

"These are all good mushrooms. I'll give you 60 cents per pound!" These wild mushrooms were picked at the risk of being attacked by wild boars. Selling them for 60 cents is cheap.

"Okay, I'll take them all! Weigh how many pounds are here!"

Tong Xiayue didn't expect that the customers she met today were all big customers. Two people bought all her things directly!

She turned around and took out the scale used in the 1970s from the space, and then weighed the mushrooms.

"A total of ten pounds, six yuan!" Tong Xiayue put down the scale and said.

The man took out the money and whispered: "Can you get other wild things in the future?"

Hearing the man's words, Tong Xiayue could guess that he wanted to buy and sell, that is, buy things from her and resell them to others at a high price!

She didn't care about these. On the contrary, she was happy to do such business. It was worry-free and troublesome. She could just sell all the things to him, and avoid contact with too many people, which was unsafe!

"What do you want?" Tong Xiayue asked.

"I want wild mushrooms, and I also want to see if there are any ginseng, or pheasants, wild ducks, as long as they are wild!" said the man.

In the town, wild things are generally more popular, but thinking that there are indeed many such products in his own space, he agreed.

"Okay! Then I will come once every ten days in the future, right here, just come and find me!" Tong Xiayue replied.

Seeing her agreement, the man also showed a satisfied smile: "Okay! If you can't find me, ask the people around, everyone calls me Brother Wang!"

After the two of them handed over, Tong Xiayue took the empty basket and found a deserted place, entered the space, removed all the makeup on her face, and changed into the clothes she had worn before, and then came out.

The first time I came to the black market, I made twenty-four yuan. Today's harvest is really not small!

Seeing that it was getting dark, Tong Xiayue did not dare to delay. She bought some egg cakes and apples in the town and rushed back to the hospital.

Ji Jiashu, who was waiting in the hospital, was extremely anxious!

If he was caught selling privately, he would be in big trouble. He didn't know if she would be in danger. She was so small, what if she was in danger? !

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, so he got up, changed his clothes and prepared to go out to find Tong Xiayue.

Just as he was about to go out, he saw Tong Xiayue walking into the ward with a large backpack on her back.

Seeing Ji Jiashu changed out of his hospital clothes, Tong Xiayue asked in confusion: "What are you going to do?" Ji Jiashu gestured

anxiously: I'm going to find you! Why did you take so long? Did something happen?

Tong Xiayue took off the backpack, picked up the cup on the table, and drank a large glass of water: "No, everything went well today! Look at what this is?"

She took out the eight yuan she had just earned from selling mushrooms on the black market and waved it in front of Ji Jiashu for a few times, of course to avoid other people in the ward, because showing off your wealth outside is a very dangerous thing. She

didn't take out the remaining eighteen yuan, otherwise it would be too fake. A few mushrooms wouldn't be sold for so much money. This money will be used to supplement the family income in the future!

Ji Jiashu saw his wife holding the money with a smile on her face, and couldn't help but laugh: Little money-grubber!

The two of them had a simple dinner with the egg cakes they bought, and there was some left to bring back to Xiaoni and the others tomorrow.

The next morning, the doctor came to their ward with the examination report. For some reason, Tong Xiayue always felt that Ji Jiashu would not be seriously ill. After all, he was the hero in the novel, and she had never heard of him having any serious illness when she read the novel before.

But Ji Jiashu didn't think so. It was really scary that he coughed up blood yesterday. Many bad thoughts came to his mind. At this moment, the doctor was standing beside him, and he was even more nervous.

Doctor: "Ji Jiashu?"

Tong Xiayue: "Doctor, Ji Jiashu is here."

The doctor walked to Ji Jiashu's bed and looked through the examination report: "It's okay, don't worry, it's not tuberculosis. Your throat was injured before and you couldn't speak, right? I think there seem to be signs of improvement. If you take good care of yourself, you may be able to recover."

The two were shocked when they heard the doctor's words. Ji Jiashu looked at the doctor in disbelief, as if he wanted to confirm it again.

Doctor: "Yes, you heard me right. Go back and take good care of yourself. There is no problem. You can be discharged after you pack up."

Tong Xiayue came to her senses and said hurriedly: "Thank you, doctor! Thank you, doctor!"

The doctor turned and walked out of the ward. The patients in other beds were also happy for the couple. When they found out yesterday that this handsome boy couldn't speak, they felt sorry for Tong Xiayue. Now he is well, and there is still a good chance of recovery in the future.

Tong Xiayue grabbed Ji Jiashu's hand: "Jiashu! That's great! You must not eat spicy food in the future. I will make a separate portion for you! And you can't eat anything too cold! Let me think, what else? Oh, and..."

Before she finished speaking, she was pulled into a strong embrace, enjoying endless tenderness and joy.

After packing up, the two of them got up and prepared to go home. Before leaving, Tong Xiayue went to the town's supply and marketing cooperative to buy some White Rabbit candies. Xiaoni, that little girl, would definitely like them!

The two of them found a bullock cart for the return trip and asked the cart to take them to the grain store. They used the grain coupons to buy some cornmeal and rice to take home.

Tong Xiayue looked at the food she bought and thought that the supplies in her own space were many times better than these. But unfortunately, she had no chance to feed them to her family, so she could only sell them for some money.

Now that she thought about it, Ji Jiashu's coughing up blood yesterday might have been due to the Ganoderma lucidum water. Was this a symptom before the effect took effect? ​​That would be scary...

On the way home, Ji Jiashu carried a backpack full of food and held Tong Xiayue's arm. The two of them walked on the country road. Isn't happiness like this? Plain and comfortable.
