Chapter 12 Black Market



She applied makeup in her profile, darkening her face, thickening her eyebrows, and applying slightly gray contact lenses. She changed into a thick cotton jacket and trousers, and put on high-heeled cotton shoes—these shoes she'd specially researched, specifically to appear taller. She donned a wig, a hat, and a scarf that only hid her eyes. She also smeared her hands and donned a pair of five-fingered cotton gloves. She checked herself in the mirror; it was perfect.

After leaving the space, she took the backpack she had prepared earlier and returned to the black market. She looked around and found a man who looked like a sentry and walked over to him. She had seen this man hanging around here when she came here before, and he was still hanging around here now.

"Brother, is your boss here? I'm looking for your boss." Xie Yun walked over and lowered his voice and said in a hoarse voice. Now Xie Yun was particularly fortunate because he had to go to the black market today and he didn't sleep well last night and his voice was hoarse today, which was just right for him to use.

The man looked at the dark-skinned young man in front of him and said, "What do you want from our boss?"

Xie Yun took down the backpack behind her, lifted a corner of the cloth to reveal the contents to the man.

Xie Yun was initially quite frightened, but then she remembered that her space contained the stun gun, pepper spray, pepper spray, dagger, kitchen knife, axe, and most importantly, an air rifle she'd bought online. It was so realistic, the average person couldn't tell the difference. Even though her past life wasn't very attractive, she still had to take the necessary precautions.

The man was shocked to see what was inside. There was rice, flour, and cornmeal, all of the best quality. The man whispered, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go ask."

After saying that, the man quickly turned into the corner of the alley. After a while, he came out again, walked to Xie Yun and said, "Follow me."

Xie Yun followed the man around the corner and saw a courtyard gate. After entering, she saw that the courtyard was very large and had several rooms. She followed the man into the middle room, where there was a young man in his 20s and a big man in his 40s.

The man on guard saw the big man and said, "Brother, you have brought someone here." Then he said to Xie Yun, "This is our brother."

The big man looked at Xie Yun and asked, "I heard you were looking for me?"

"Yes, there is a deal I want to make. I wonder if you would like to do it?" Xie Yunzhen calmed down when she saw the person.

"I wonder what the deal is?"

Xie Yun pushed the backpack forward and said, "We have everything here."

The man next to him took the backpack and showed it to him. The man's eyes lit up when he saw what was inside. He put the things down and looked at Xie Yun and said, "Everyone on the street calls me Brother Qiang. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Qiang. I wonder how much stuff you have?"

Xie Yun said, "Brother Qiang, we have quite a few goods, but our boss has a request."

"What do you want?"

"Our boss is very happy to have a baby boy, so he asked us not to charge a high price for the goods. You can only add 0.2 yuan per kilogram when selling them. If Brother Qiang thinks it's okay, then we can continue to discuss."

Brother Qiang thought for a moment and said, "I wonder what price you all offer? How much stock do you have?"

Xie Yun said, "Rice is 50 cents, white flour is 35 cents, corn is 25 cents, and coarse grains are 20 cents. 5,000 catties of rice and white flour each, 10,000 catties of corn, and 20,000 catties of coarse grains. If Brother Qiang can eat it, take these first."

When Brother Qiang heard this, his mouth dropped open in shock. What a huge pie had hit him! He had to eat it. Even if he had to borrow money, he had to eat it. "Little brother, do you know when the goods will be available?"

When Xie Yun heard that it was done, she said, "It will be done in 2 hours."

When Brother Qiang heard this, he quickly said, "Then where do we trade?"

Xie Yun had already made up her mind. "It's in an empty house in the eastern suburbs of the county town. You can go there in two hours. Since Brother Qiang has made the decision, I'll leave first."

Brother Qiang personally sent her to the door and said, "Take care, little brother. I'll be there on time in two hours."

After seeing Xie Yun leave, Brother Qiang hurried into the house to get some money to see how much he still needed to borrow.

Xie Yun walked out, twisting and turning to see if anyone was following her, and then slowly made her way to the empty house east of the county town. Once there, she put on different shoes, walked back and forth between the door and the house several times, checking to see if anyone was around. She then took out the electric bike with wide tires from the space and rode it back and forth a few times before quickly putting it away. Once she was sure no one was around, she went back inside to take out her belongings, filling up three rooms. By the time she was done, it was almost time for the appointment, so she decided to take a break; she was sweating from all the hard work.

When the time came, Xie Yun went to the door and waited. She saw Brother Qiang leading a few people over. Seeing Xie Yun, Brother Qiang smiled and said, "Little brother, have the goods arrived?"

"Here we are. Have you got the money?" Xie Yun replied.

Brother Qiang said "I took it"

"Then let's go in and take a look at the goods. If they are okay, we'll weigh them." Xie Yun said and walked into the house, followed by Brother Qiang and the others. After entering the house and looking at the sacks all over the room, Brother Qiang winked at the people around him, and the two of them went forward to check. After checking, he nodded to Brother Qiang, and then they started to weigh. Xie Yun sat next to him to rest. After more than an hour, Brother Qiang came to Xie Yun and said, "Little brother, the numbers are all correct. Please count the total amount of money." Then he handed the bag he had been holding to Xie Yun.

Xie Yun sat down and began to count the money. It was exactly RMB. "Just right, then I'll leave." Xie Yun carried him away. Brother Qiang hurriedly said from behind: "Little brother, when will you come next time?"

Without even turning around, Xie Yun said, "If this batch of goods is sold as agreed, I will come to you."

After walking for a while, Xie Yun looked back and saw that no one was following her, so she found an alley and entered the space. She took off her makeup and changed her clothes in the space, and she became a fair and tender little beauty again.

After leaving the space, Xie Yun carried a backpack containing a dried chicken, a dried rabbit, a piece of bacon, a bag of pine nuts, a bag of hazelnuts, and a bag of dried mushrooms, and headed for the post office. She was going to mail it to Uncle Wang, who had sent her some food not available here, as well as a women's military coat. This military coat was a treasure, not something most people could get. It must have been something Uncle Wang had exchanged for specially.

After filling out the form and paying the money at the post office, she collected her subsidy. After thinking about it, she realized there was nothing else to buy, so she went home. At the entrance of the village, she took some things from the space and put them in her backpack before going home.

The weather was very cold now, so Xie Yun kept the house warm every day and would sit on the kang and eat pine nuts when she had nothing to do. This morning, Xie Yun was reading when she heard a knock on the door. She went out and saw that it was the captain's wife. "Auntie, please come in and sit down. What's the matter?"
