767: I am ignorant, this is possible?
Yu Xiaoye is very familiar with the big fish produced in her space. She believes that in the capital, only her space has such fish!
Recognizing the fish head, Yu Xiaoye nudged Shao Xia next to him with his elbow:
"Hey, isn't that the fish we caught?"
Shao Xia identified it:
"It seems to be true—where did she buy it?"
The two looked around and saw a man carrying a big fish and walking through the market. He also came out of her space.
Look again, there’s more!
Looking around, I saw four or five people holding big fish in their arms at the same time!
This is terrible!
Yu Xiaoye was sharp-eyed and suddenly noticed a large group of people crowded in front of a roadside vegetable store, and several people squeezed out of the crowd holding big fish.
The people around them looked at them holding the big fish that was as long as their arms, and all of them showed envy on their faces.
Yu Xiaoye was completely dumbfounded——
Oh my god, am I seeing things?
She thought those big fish that flowed into the black market were actually being sold so ostentatiously in the vegetable store?!
Shao Xia also saw the big fish piled on the chopping board in the vegetable shop, and she opened her mouth wide and was speechless.
The two looked at each other, both unable to believe it:
How did that boss manage to put these black market goods of unknown origin out in the open for everyone to grab?
Are you that capable?
No wonder those fish sold so quickly, so the vegetable shops are the biggest black market?!
That’s it, who dares to check?
Who would dare to doubt that these fish came from a dishonest source?!
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that such a thing could happen.
Yu Xiaoye and Shao Xia stood at the door for a long time, looking surprised as they watched the big fish being quickly sold out.
Although these fish are not cheap, one catty costs one dollar and two cents, and one fish costs at least twelve or thirteen dollars, but during the Chinese New Year, everyone seems to have become wealthy, spending money as if they had hundreds of dollars in their pockets without any regrets.
The point is, opportunities are rare.
Normally, there is fish available in grocery stores, but each household is limited to purchasing about two kilograms. How can a family of all ages enjoy a good meal of fish?
This time, you don't need fish tickets, non-staple food coupons, or purchase limits. No matter what, just grab them. Even if you can't finish them yourself, you can sell them to others.
In short, you won’t suffer any loss if you buy it, you won’t be cheated if you buy it, and you will make a profit if you grab it!
So everyone came to grab it.
Moreover, fish symbolizes abundance every year, and everyone wants to have a good start, so no one cares about spending money.
Yu Xiaoye could understand the behavior of snatching fish.
What she couldn't understand was how the boss got these fish into the store, and how he wasn't afraid of being investigated by the relevant authorities?
"I'm ignorant. This is possible..." Yu Xiaoye murmured to herself. She glanced at Shao Xia:
"Shao Xia, who is this Ban Ye?"
"I don't know either—it looks like there really is some connection."
Yu Xiaoye couldn't help but sigh:
"Ordinary people are caught doing small business and are constantly shouting about being beaten and killed, while those with real connections are openly trading. That's the difference!"
"It's because he has connections and backing. I want to grab a fish and take it home too."
Shao Xia stared enviously at the big fish being snatched away by others, and she didn't even think of leaving one for herself?
If she hadn't been holding the important cotton in her arms, she really wanted to join the team grabbing the fish.
But it is a bit ridiculous that he resold the fish through his own connections and now joined the crowd to grab the fish.
The two stood at the door of the vegetable store and watched as the fish were snatched away.
The crowd dispersed, and the two of them dispersed too.
It was getting late, so they lost interest in shopping and started heading home.
Walking down the street, I suddenly heard someone shouting in the crowd:
"Hey, Shao Xia?"
Shao Xia heard someone calling her, looked up, and saw Brother Lei walking towards her through the crowd:
Shao Xia suddenly remembered that Yu Xiaoye was beside her:
Oh no, don’t let Brother Lei recognize me!
Although Brother Lei has never seen Yu Xiaoye, what if Brother Lei becomes suspicious?
Shao Xia nervously glanced at Yu Xiaoye beside her out of the corner of her eye. Yu Xiaoye was not panicked at all. Instead, he stared at Brother Lei with curiosity.
Seeing Yu Xiaoye so calm, Shao Xia stopped panicking and took the initiative to call out:
"Brother Lei."
Brother Lei only glanced at Yu Xiaoye and said to Shao Xia with a smile:
"Come out to buy cotton?"
"yes--"
"You've made a lot of money during this period, right?"
Shao Xia was a little embarrassed:
"Brother Lei, I don't earn as much as you do."
Brother Lei laughed:
"It's okay. I make money, it's not shameful. Even though we're in that kind of business, at least we haven't killed anyone or set fire to anyone, right?"
Shao Xia nodded:
"right!"
Brother Lei glanced at Yu Xiaoye who was eavesdropping on their conversation and whispered to Shao Xia:
"Well, let me ask you, is your friend really gone? Are there really no fish here? If there are, please help me get some more, and I can pay you a high price, 60 cents!"
Shao Xia: “——” She was so nervous that she didn’t know how to answer. She wanted to smile but didn’t dare.
Her friend is right next to her!
What if this gets exposed accidentally?
At this time, Shao Xia felt someone gently touching her cotton shoes. Just as she was about to look down, she suddenly realized that it was Yu Xiaoye who did it.
Shao Xia was stunned for a moment: What does this girl mean?
What message do you want to convey to her?
Do I have to continue doing business with Brother Lei, Ban Ye and others?
But based on her understanding of Yu Xiaoye, it shouldn't be the case.
Oh, right!
It must be about Ban Ye!
Yu Xiaoye must be particularly curious about Ban Ye's background, and this was a hint for her to ask Brother Lei about Ban Ye's situation.
After figuring out Yu Xiaoye's intentions, Shao Xia pulled Brother Lei to the side of the road, pretending to be afraid that Yu Xiaoye would eavesdrop, and asked quietly:
"Brother Lei, I want to ask you about someone, that Ban Ye. What is his relationship and background?"
"Why, do you know something?"
Shao Xia stopped pretending:
"I saw the fish I sold you on display in the grocery store. Am I right? They were from the same batch my friend sold them?"
Brother Lei laughed:
"Yes, it's the batch of goods that passed through our hands. You're not mistaken!"
Shao Xia took a breath of cold air:
"How did they do that? There were so many fish in the store for no apparent reason. Aren't they afraid of being investigated?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Ban has great powers and can naturally get through the connections. He has many more tricks than ordinary people like us, and he won't reveal them to others casually.
I can only tell you that they are not afraid of inspections. Although the origin of the goods is unclear, they have the official documents that can allow these goods to enter formal sales channels. Even if someone really wants to inspect, they will encounter resistance after checking several levels and naturally will not be able to investigate further.
Besides, as long as it doesn't cause a big mess, who would be so blind as to block someone's financial path? Wouldn't that be courting death? So don't worry, there are many ways in this world that you don't know."
