Zhang Anan actually managed to figure out some things, and she mainly focused on the things she used in Lingguo before.
Zhang Anan asked her grandmother Liu Yan for some recipes she knew.
"Look, this is what I made. Take a look at it."
Zhang Anan handed what she had made to Lu Ming to see.
Lu Ming opened it and immediately smelled a fragrance, a bit like modern perfume.
"Great, not bad, not bad. This smells good, I can sell it to those rich people."
Zhang Anan snatched it away, covered it up and hid it in his arms.
"Humph, I'm going to keep this for myself and not sell it."
"Okay, I won't sell it."
Lu Ming followed her words and said that it was the first time it was made by itself, and it must be very memorable for her, so it was up to her.
Lu Ming gave her some modern knowledge about skin care products, which made Zhang Anan more fascinated by her research.
Sometimes even dreams are like this, which makes Lu Ming speechless.
"Don't bother with this anymore. There'll be plenty of time later. Let's not do it today. It's not long until the Chinese New Year.
Besides, it will be inconvenient to go out due to the heavy snow later, so let’s go to the county town tomorrow!”
Lu Ming stopped Zhang Anan who was about to study these again.
"Hey, is Chinese New Year coming up so soon? It's so fast! Okay, I'll get you some of those tomorrow and exchange them for money. Let's see how much I can get, hehe."
Zhang Anan counted on her fingers and sighed that time passed quickly. However, she was definitely very happy this year, with her lover by her side, and her grandparents whom she always missed were also with her.
"If you want to exchange it for money, you'd better repackage it. Make it a smaller box so that we can offer a better price. Otherwise, if it's too big, people will think it's too expensive, and if we offer a lower price, it won't be worth it."
Lu Ming took out what he had made earlier and placed it in front of them. A box the size of a child's palm was filled to the brim.
Lu Ming found some smaller ones, and the two of them took some effort to put them together.
"I'm so tired! If I don't exchange them for a lot of money tomorrow, I'll feel guilty about all the hard work I put into packing them!"
Zhang Anan rubbed his waist, which was a little sore from being bent for so long.
"Don't worry, it will definitely work. You take a rest first. I'll go to my grandparents' place to see if they have anything to take care of. I can also ask them to help take care of the child for us tomorrow."
Lu Ming stopped and was about to get up to tease Zhang Anan.
Lu Ming ran to the cowshed to explain things to Zhang Ling and the others, and also asked Mr. Fu if he wanted to take anything with him.
Before dawn the next day, Lu Ming took Zhang Anan away.
"It's too cold," Zhang Anan rubbed his frozen face with his hands.
Lu Ming pulled the scarf around her neck and helped her adjust her hat.
Although it hasn't snowed these days, it is windy and the winter wind hurts when it blows on your face.
"Rin, we're almost there. Let's go to the commune and take a bus. It's too tiring to go by ourselves in this weather."
Lu Ming breathed heavily and said breathlessly that this winter was too cold. They were already wrapped up like bears and could not walk any more.
It took a lot of effort for the two of them to get to the commune where they could catch the bus. It was cold now, so not many people were out.
They waited for a long time before the car left.
"Oh, this is too uncomfortable,"
After Zhang Anan got off the car, he sighed deeply. It was uncomfortable every time he took this car, especially in winter and hot weather. The smell was really unpleasant.
Lu Ming had no choice but to take her on the small path in the summer, but in the winter they could only ride this.
Zhang Anan complained for a while and then became lively again.
"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant to eat something first. We're hungry, so we'll have something hot to warm us up."
Zhang Anan pulled Lu Ming forward with full energy.
Look at the sign at the door: beef noodles, braised pork, shredded potatoes... and so on.
"What do you want to eat?" Zhang Anan turned to ask Lu Ming. She was a little confused about whether to have rice or noodles.
"I'll have a bowl of beef noodles, and you'll have a bowl of rice. Let's eat together."
Seeing her like that, Lu Ming knew what she was thinking. He rubbed her head and replied with a smile.
"Hehe, how did you know?"
After the two of them slowly ate a hot meal, their frozen bodies gradually warmed up.
Next they went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative. After walking around, they were both carrying bags of all sizes.
“There are too many people.”
"The New Year is coming soon, and we are all preparing for the New Year. Later, the weather will get colder and it will be inconvenient to go out. Let's find a place to put our things."
Lu Ming took Zhang Anan and searched for a long time before they found a relatively secluded place.
"Hey, why are you changing clothes?"
Zhang Anan asked in confusion as she saw Lu Ming start looking for clothes to change.
"Aren't you going to change? This outfit is easy to recognize. It would be more difficult to notice if you change into something more dramatic."
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he started to put on a melon-shaped hat that everyone on the street wore. The crackdown on the black market is still quite severe now, so it is better to be careful.
Zhang Anan looked at Lu Ming, who had aged a lot in an instant, and burst into laughter.
"Stop laughing and change quickly, otherwise we won't be able to stroll around for long and we still have to find a place to stay."
Lu Ming slapped Zhang Anan and urged her to go quickly.
Zhang Anan made a face at Lu Ming and started changing as well.
Zhang Anan also used foundation to paint her face yellow, which instantly made her look older.
The two looked at each other, pointed at each other and laughed.
If they hadn't watched each other change, they really wouldn't have recognized each other.
They probably wouldn't be able to recognize them even if they stood in front of their acquaintances. Who would have thought that two young men in their twenties and thirties would instantly become like they were in their forties or fifties.
Seeing that Zhang An'an was dressed up, Lu Ming pulled him outside. They still had to find the entrance to the black market.
When he was looking for a place just now, he saw a lot of people walking towards a place cautiously on the road. He guessed that there was a trading place in that direction.
"Slow down, wait for me."
Zhang Anan saw Lu Ming look around and then ran in one direction.
Lu Ming realized that he had not waited for her, reached out and pulled her, and immediately chased after the man who was walking hurriedly in front.
The two followed the man in front of them and walked around until they came to an entrance. It looked like a very long alley with no end in sight. There was a young man at the entrance.
Seeing the man they had been following from afar, he took the opportunity to speak and put something into the young man's hand.
Lu Ming guessed that this was the so-called gatekeeping fee. He was taking risks by keeping watch for them, so it didn't look like much, probably just a few cents. These didn't seem like much to Lu Ming and his friends, but in the eyes of others, they could do a lot.
