Chapter 54: Black Market
This time when I went to town, my main task was not to send a package, but to buy some things.
This is what my grandmother had instructed me a long time ago.
Although Qin Zheng had a bicycle and it was much more convenient for him to go to town than the villagers, no one would have the heart to go during the autumn harvest.
The missing things should be arranged within one day.
When the two arrived in town, they went to the post office first to send Tang Wan's package.
There was no package for Tang Wan at the post office this time. Tang Wan guessed that based on her father's personality, he must have sent another package, but it just hadn't arrived yet.
Then the two went to the station again.
They were going to the station to deliver something to Qin Zheng's aunt in the city, but they didn't go there themselves. Instead, they asked the driver to bring the things over.
Qin Zheng had asked someone to take a message to his aunt before, telling her about this matter. He just needed to pay the driver to take the things over, and his aunt would take over when they arrived.
It was the first time that Tang Wan knew that this method could be used to deliver things directly.
After finishing these two tasks, the two of them started to get down to business.
Tang Wan thought Qin Zheng would take her to the supply and marketing cooperative. After all, Grandma Qiu didn't say that they wanted to buy anything special. She just said that there was less food at home and she wanted to buy some more because Qiu Fei had been working hard and needed to eat something delicious.
Tang Wan thought for herself that she was going to the supply and marketing cooperative, so she brought a lot of food coupons with her this time in case of emergency.
But when Qin Zheng and Tang Wan passed by the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, they showed no intention of stopping.
Qin Zheng rode his bike all the way to the house he had visited last time. He parked his bike inside and then looked at Tang Wan, who seemed a little puzzled, and said, "Do you want to go to the black market?"
"Can I go?" Tang Wan asked, with a hint of anticipation and excitement in her eyes.
Who wouldn’t be interested in the black market in the novel? Tang Wan has always wanted to see it, but even Zhong Ling, the heroine in the original book, couldn’t have a smooth journey there, so there was no need for her to join in the fun.
But it’s different now. This is a future big boss who started out in the black market. Following him reduces the risk by half.
Qin Zheng looked at her like this and said in a deliberately deep voice: "If you are afraid, you can wait here for me. I can go by myself."
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." Tang Wan became anxious when she heard this. "I mean, is it convenient for you to take me with you?"
"Don't worry, although the black market doesn't check strangers, but I'm the one who brought you there, so nothing will happen." Qin Zheng saw the expression on Tang Wan's face as he wished and he stopped teasing her.
"Then I'll go with you." Tang Wan said hurriedly.
She didn't expect that Qin Zheng would take her to the black market. You know, at that time, going to the black market was done in secrecy, for fear that others would find out and report it.
At that time, the culture of reporting was prevalent, especially in cities, and a little more so in towns.
Even though Grandma Qi didn't avoid mentioning Tang Wan when talking to Qin Zheng, she never mentioned it openly.
Now Qin Zheng actually wanted to take Tang Wan with him, and Tang Wan would not miss this opportunity.
Qin Zheng took Tang Wan to the yard, and after turning around so many times, they didn't know which alley they were in.
Last time, Tang Wantong and Qin Zheng said it was behind a house, and I really thought the black market was behind this house. Now I know that it is not, it is just in this direction.
At the entrance of the last alley, there was a man standing, leaning against the wall and yawning. When he saw Qin Zheng and Tang Wan walking over, he immediately stood up straight, looking at them with some vigilance, and only relaxed after seeing Qin Zheng clearly.
When they passed by, Qin Zheng and the man nodded to each other as a greeting.
