Chapter 12 Black Market



After hearing this, Director Wang understood and smiled. "Don't worry, as long as you agree to sell it, you don't have to worry about the follow-up. I will handle it."

Hearing him say this, Lu Xia finally felt relieved. This was why she went to find Director Wang. It was said that he had a lot of connections and might be able to control the Lu family.

In the end, Director Wang still raised the price to 1,200, and Lu Xia finally asked for 1,000 yuan, plus some tickets, and then the two agreed to go to the factory tomorrow to handle the transfer, and then she left.

After leaving the light bulb factory's staff quarters, Lu Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that it was still early, I decided to take a walk around the area to see if I could find the black market.

After walking for almost two hours, I finally saw a figure sneaking in and out of an alley near the hospital, carrying something.

She was sure this was the black market.

But her current look isn't quite suitable for that.

She still had to dress up a little, but she didn't have anything on hand, so she took a sack reserved for rice from the space and used it as a headscarf, covering half of her face, leaving only her eyes exposed, and then quietly walked in.

As a result, she was blocked before she could enter. Lu Xia was startled, thinking that someone was going to arrest her. Just as she was about to run, she heard the man whisper, "What are you doing?"

...

...

Lu Xia looked at him carefully and didn't think he was going to arrest anyone, so he felt relieved. "Buy something."

"Yeah," the man replied, "Five points."

"Ah?" Lu Xia was stunned, then saw him stretch out his hand, understood, and took out five cents and handed it to him.

Then the man gave way after taking the money. Lu Xia then realized that the man should be a lookout. It seemed that this black market should be safe.

But then I felt heartache.

Five cents!

The original owner had only 63 cents in savings, and he spent 5 cents alone.

But people also have their own rules. At least this way she felt safe, so she didn't say anything.

After entering, she found that the place was quite big, and the things sold were quite complete. Moreover, it was not like what she had thought, where she had to be as cautious as in an underground joint. The things were displayed so blatantly. Although people didn't talk loudly, it looked quite lively.

Thinking of the people on guard outside, Lu Xia guessed that there should be an organization with a background here, and he felt relieved.

Afterwards, she asked about the prices one by one and got some understanding of the market situation here.

Generally speaking, the prices are not high, but this is compared with the 21st century. In this era, things on the black market are much more expensive than those in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Lu Xia looked around and had an idea in mind, so he bought a large backpack from a stall owner and left.

When he came back again, his basket was already half filled with rice.

This time it was the sentry again, "What are you doing?"

"Sell things!" Lu Xia said.

"One cent"

Lu Xia: "..." What is the situation of raising prices on the spur of the moment?

But I also guessed that the prices of buying things and buying things are different.

So I didn't think too much about it. After giving him a dime out of regret, I went in and found a place to squat down, putting the backpack in front of me.

Because she had covered the basket before, no one else knew what was inside.

After she put the backpack back in place, she opened the bag of grain inside, revealing a little bit so that people could see what was inside.

The rice that Lu Xia took out was different from others. Others' rice was slightly yellowish even if it was refined, but hers was different. Her rice was white, and you could smell the fragrance of rice when you got close to it. You could tell at a glance that it was good rice.
