The reason Chen Shuning arranged for Chen Jiandang to go to the black market to sell goods again before the end of the year was because he wanted to do it with this kid.
So after giving Chen Shuning his instructions, he turned and left, leaving Chen Jiandang anxiously staring at the food on the table.
Because time was tight, Chen Shuning went straight to the alley where the black market was located after leaving the state-run restaurant.
As before, Chen Shuning first found an empty alley, and after observing and confirming that no one was around, she slipped into the space.
When they came out again, they were dressed as Aunt Ning.
However, this time the old lady didn't carry the small bamboo basket she usually wore; instead, she carried a large bamboo basket on her back.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, the number of people in the black market has increased, and the gatekeeper who used to be one now has two.
However, nowadays almost everyone in the black market knows Chen Shuning, and they greet him warmly when he arrives before letting him in.
Chen Shuning easily found Hei Zi's courtyard.
As soon as Chen Shuning entered the courtyard, he saw a mountain of burlap sacks piled up in the yard, and at that moment Hei Zi was directing people to move the burlap sacks into the house next door.
It was the sharp-eyed monkey who spotted Chen Shuning first and greeted her warmly as "Aunt Ning." Only then did Hei Zi, who was busy counting, notice Chen Shuning's arrival.
She hurriedly handed the notebook she was using to the monkey beside her and excitedly greeted him, "Auntie, you've finally arrived! I was just wondering if you could come over before the New Year!"
"Hey, my third son went on a long trip a while ago, he said he went to some place in Guangxi, so he came back a little late."
Hei Zi chuckled upon hearing this, rubbing his hands together and saying, "Guangshi is great! Their clothes sell very well. Did you bring any back this time, Sanzi?"
"Yes, yes, I brought them. Besides clothes, my third son also brought back a lot of bed sheets and duvet covers. The quality and style are top-notch. I even brought samples this time. I just wanted to ask if you wanted them?"
It was almost 1969, and there were still eleven years until the policy of opening up the sale of commercial housing in 1980.
So, in order to live a life where he could just relax and collect rent, Chen Shuning put in a lot of effort to make money.
Whenever I had time, I would go to the bookstore in the shopping center to look up information and learned that around 1969 and 1970, there were quite a few people smuggling clothes from Hong Kong to Guangzhou.
So he picked out some retro-style clothes from the space and made some minor modifications, mainly removing some unnecessary decorations, so that they were similar to the styles of clothes in the port city of this era.
Chen Shuning plans to sell a batch of these garments this time.
