Nanqiao was quick to take out a dime from his pocket and gave it to the other party.
The man took the money and waved it away without stopping.
But after Nanqiao left, the man said hello to the man next to him and went in another direction.
Go straight into Cotton Lane from Nanqiao. Not far away, you can see all kinds of small stalls selling fruits, vegetables and even some rare tickets.
The rice sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives was 20 cents per pound and required a ticket, while on the black market it was 30 cents per pound and no ticket was required. Not only was the quality poor, but a lot of it was stale rice.
Nanqiao was slightly shocked. There were still so many people crowding around to buy tickets. It seemed that tickets were still in short supply these days.
After figuring out the situation, Nanqiao found an empty spot and sat down, but he still kept the backpack covered.
An old lady came in from Nanqiao and took a look at this stranger.
Seeing her sitting down, they quickly surrounded her and asked, "Young man, what are you selling? Show it to me."
Nanqiao saw that the old lady was looking forward to it, so he said, "I came to visit my relatives today, but I didn't bring much with me. I only brought ten kilograms of rice, two kilograms of brown sugar, and ten kilograms of pork."
The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she asked happily, "How much is it?" As she spoke, she went to the basket again. When she saw that both the pork and the rice were of excellent quality, her excitement was even greater than
"My rice is of good quality, 0.40 yuan a pound, pork is 1.5 yuan a pound, and brown sugar is 1 yuan a pound, no tickets are required"
"It's so expensive!" The lady thought it was a bit expensive, but Nanqiao didn't say anything. Anyway, her products were good and she didn't have to worry about not being able to sell them.
The other lady next to her had been envious since she had just opened the cover of the backpack. Seeing the other lady hesitating, she hurried forward and said, "If she doesn't want it, I will. I'll give you a pound of brown sugar and five pounds of pork." After that, she didn't wait for Nanqiao to react and directly stuffed eight yuan and fifty cents into Nanqiao's arms.
Then he opened his bag and waited for Nanqiao to put it in.
Nanqiao took the money, took five pieces of pork and a bag of brown sugar, and put them in the old lady's bag.
Brown sugar, rice and pork were all taken out by Nanqiao from his own space, and for convenience they were divided into pounds.
The old lady held the bag happily. Now her daughter-in-law could have a good confinement. The old lady was in a very good mood and said to Nanqiao, "Young man, you must come often. I will buy things from you often."
"Okay, Auntie." Nanqiao lowered her voice and greeted the old lady. Before she could say a few more words, she was surrounded by other people.
When these people saw that she had pork, they were all jealous and rushed over to buy it.
The lady who first asked the price didn't care whether it was expensive or not. She hurriedly put down two dollars and fifty cents and asked Nanqiao for a pound of pork and a pound of brown sugar.
The remaining rice was sold out in no time, and Nanqiao felt very satisfied with the 21 yuan in his pocket.
It's another smooth day~
Nanqiao's joy didn't last for a few minutes before he was stopped by someone.
Nanqiao was blocked and frowned unhappily. He looked up and saw that one of them was the one who was guarding the entrance of the alley. He then had an idea.
I'm afraid it's not because of the good quality of her food that she was targeted...
"Comrades, why are you doing this?" Nanqiao lowered his voice and said to the others
"Young man, our Second Master invites you. Please move over and have a drink of water to cool down," said the man who had just checked Nanqiao's backpack at the entrance of the alley.
Nanqiao looked at these big and strong men, all of whom looked fierce and did not seem to be good people. He was reluctant at first, but he thought that this might be a business opportunity, so he agreed to take a look.
"Then lead the way." Nanqiao's voice was calm and straightforward, without a trace of stage fright, which made the man think highly of her.
The group took Nanqiao around many turns and finally arrived at a courtyard. It was not very eye-catching, but there were spies everywhere.
A man playing chess across the street, a half-grown child playing games at the entrance of the alley, each of them seemed to be doing their own thing, but their eyes were always looking around.
Even when his group passed by, he nodded slightly to them.
It seems that the man who brought me here is of a high position.
Following the man's steps, Nanqiao entered the yard. There were many strong men in the yard. When they saw the door was pushed open, they all looked over here. The 1.7-meter-tall Nanqiao looked particularly petite at this time.
However, Nanqiao, who had seen many big scenes, was not afraid or timid, and followed him into the inner room openly.
But just as he stepped over the threshold, Nanqiao paused... Nanqiao, who was always calm, was a little panicked at this moment.
"Second Master, this is the man I just told you about"
The man on the main seat looked up after hearing this, but his face looked a little bad, and he looked unhappy. His fingers kept touching the watch on his wrist, as if he was thinking about something.
When the man shifted his gaze to Nanqiao, he was confused for a moment, then stared at her carefully for a long time. He felt that her figure was familiar, and thought that he was really upset about what he had just seen, so everyone looked like her. Then he retracted his gaze and asked, "I heard from Dongzi that you have refined rice here?"
Nanqiao coughed unnaturally and tried to change his voice and said, "Yes, not only rice, but also noodles and oil."
As soon as Nanqiao's voice came out, the second master on the main seat frowned again. Why did the voice sound so similar... Was he possessed?
Second Master frowned, and Nanqiao was in a panic. She couldn't be recognized! Nanqiao thought anxiously, mainly because Second Master... was too familiar with her!
That’s right!
The so-called second master who has everything under his control in the black market is Sheng Yanchuan, the second son of the Sheng family next door...
