Chapter 154 Black Market Experience
"Is it really okay for you not to work? Your brother-in-law really won't mind?"
"He dares to despise you. If he despises you, just come back. We can still make money to support ourselves without relying on men. What are you afraid of! Next time you go to the mountains, you can also work and make money. You can earn more than outside."
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."
My sister Han Guihua and Ma Youcai went home in the afternoon, and Yike suddenly felt lonely and deserted. Ever since they rescued their sister Han Guihua from Hanjiagou Village, the two sisters have been eating and living together, inseparable day or night. Now that they know their sister is married, it is impossible for the two sisters to be together every day in the future, and they always feel uncomfortable in their hearts.
Seeing Yike looking unhappy, Ziyi said to him, "Yike, don't you like going to the black market? Now that we are in the city, we can go to the black market. How about it? Do you want to go?"
Yi Ke curled his lips and said, "Isn't that your territory? There won't be much fun there."
"Let's go put on our makeup. Who would know it's me? I can just go and see how his brothers are doing since Ma Youcai doesn't have time to manage the business during this period. If they are capable, we can promote them in the future."
"Really? You didn't tell me in advance? You didn't trick me?"
"No, absolutely not. Did no one know it was us the last time we went there? Didn't you trade something? It's the same this time. But let's not play the role of father and daughter this time, okay?"
"Oh, so what do you want to play? Brother and sister?"
"No. You are still my wife, and I am your man. We just play the role of an older couple. Is that okay with you?"
"Okay, it doesn't matter what role you play. But it seems we don't have anything to exchange?"
"Yes, you forgot that there are fungus and mushrooms in the storage room downstairs, and there is wolf meat in the ice cellar over there at Ma Youcai's place."
"What are you waiting for? Go get it now."
Ziyi was secretly happy when he saw that Yike's attention was diverted.
Ziyi rode his bicycle with Yike to a two-story brick building. The walls of this building are mottled and the interior is also very dilapidated. Ziyi took out the key, opened the door, and pushed his bicycle in.
"Brother Ziyi, whose house is this?" Yike asked curiously.
"We bought it for Ma Youcai's group of brothers to live in. It's also one of the warehouses."
"Brother Ziyi, where else have you bought a house? Can you tell me more?"
"Yes, the county towns that Wang Feng, Liu Bing, and Dong Guoqing are in charge of each have two houses. They are mainly to give them a place to stay in the city and a place to store their goods. I will take you to see them later. Even Wang Hongjun's provincial capital has two houses."
“Isn’t it forbidden to buy and sell houses?
"It was a private transaction, and all the houses were sold under fake names. In fact, as long as you pay enough money to the street management, nothing is impossible."
"Then I want to buy one too." Yi Keke knew that these houses would be very valuable in the future, but it would be a bit uneconomical to buy them too early. However, she just wanted to be someone who had her own private property.
"Sure, what are you going to buy them for? I'll give you these property certificates when I get back. They're yours from now on."
"Okay, but they are still yours. You need them for your business. I want to buy them myself. I have money. When I buy them, I won't have to stay in a guesthouse when I go out to play."
"Okay, okay. I'll get your household registration settled when I go back this time, and then you can go buy the house and have your name on the property certificate. But you have to wait until they find it for you before you can buy it. However, in recent years, many people have run out of food and have gone to the countryside to survive, so the houses in the city have become vacant. If you look carefully, you can still find one."
"It would be best if we could buy one in every city. This way, when we go to those cities in the future, we won't have to go to guest houses and won't attract attention when we do things."
"You're right. It seems I should buy some to keep. Our business will definitely not be limited to these few counties. We will expand to more and more places in the future. It would be great to have a house."
The two were talking, but their hands were not idle. To go to the black market, they still have to put on proper makeup.
"You dress up really well, except your hair is too clean." Ziyi said to Yike who had just finished putting on makeup.
"Oh, then I'll smear some mud, but it's so dirty. What if I don't want to?" Yike said coquettishly.
"No, no, how can you wipe your head when it's so dirty? Come, put on this scarf," Ziyi helped Yike put on a gray scarf.
"Your hair is also shiny and black, unlike a mountain hunter."
"Well, I'll rub some grass clippings."
The two of them put on their makeup and went out. If someone had noticed before, they would have discovered that there were two groups of people coming in and out. The man had messy hair and was wearing washed-out clothes with several patches on them. His pants were too small for him, stretching his long legs tightly, and he was wearing a pair of patched shoes on his feet. The woman wore a gray headscarf and a clean gray dress with floral patterns. Her face looked yellow as if she had just had a serious illness. She hunched her shoulders and looked timid. These two people were Ziyi and Yike who were wearing makeup.
They both carried a backpack filled with mushrooms and herbs to sell, and Ziyi's basket was filled with wolf meat.
The two went out, turned a few corners, and arrived at a bridge. In the stone cave under the bridge, there are many people carrying baskets on their backs. Without exception, these people looked very nervous, and their eyes were darting around. Some people also put the backpack on the ground and opened it to show people.
Yike and Ziyi went over carrying the backpacks, and Ziyi followed Yike. Today we want to let Yi Ke experience the fun of trading on the black market, and Zi Yi just needs to follow and protect him throughout the process.
Ziyi actually couldn't understand what was so interesting about the black market and why Yike was so interested in it. If Yike knew what he was thinking, she would definitely not tell him. The main reason was that in her previous life, Yike read many novels about how heroines made their fortunes in the black market, and she wanted to experience that.
Ziyi and Yike put down their backpacks and followed the example of the others by taking out some of the things they wanted to sell from the baskets and putting them on the ground. Of course, they used a leaf as a cushion on the ground. Only then did I notice some leaves or small towels on the ground, with various things placed on them. Rice, cornmeal, tobacco leaves, buckwheat flour, high-grain grains, sweet potatoes, potatoes, soap, scented soap, incense, fungus... Yike sells herbs and mushrooms, Ziyi sells wolf meat, and he is the only one selling meat here.
Why do we have to put some leaves on the ground? Ziyi said that this makes it convenient so that you don’t have to carry a backpack when running. The backpack is on the back, and it is faster to turn around and run than to carry the backpack. There are only a few things on the ground, so it won’t be a big loss if we throw them away.
