After dinner, Li Xiyue closed the door early and went inside to move the feather duster that was piled up in a corner of the warehouse.
Feather dusters are made from the feathers on the neck and tail of chickens, and the quantity is not large, so even after more than a year of accumulation, there are only about twenty.
In those days, almost every household had a feather duster, mostly made by collecting feathers from slaughtering chickens. Li Xiyue wasn't sure if feather dusters would sell well.
She decided to give it a try, and if it didn't sell well, she would sell something else. She also packed up some grains, fruits, chicken, duck, fish, and eggs.
Wang Jiaxing borrowed a cart from the village, leaving aside the items belonging to Li Xiyue, and moved all the wine from the backyard.
This time, Wang Jiaxing and Zhou Yunze went together again. On the cart were tied-up small wine jars and several burlap sacks. The burlap sacks were still moving, indicating that they were alive.
After becoming a planner, Zhou Yunxia's life became much easier than before. She discovered that her superpowers had become even stronger. Not only was her attack power enhanced, but she could also sense nearby prey and summon it to her face.
This discovery delighted her for a long time. Now she no longer needed to hunt for prey herself; she could simply summon nearby prey to catch what was readily available, saving both time and effort.
So now she only needs to spend a little time each day going up the mountain to get a full catch.
Hearing the footsteps leaving in the courtyard, Li Xiyue also set off.
She disguised herself, went into the black market, found an empty spot, and took out her goods from her basket and arranged them one by one.
As expected, the feather dusters didn't sell well; no one even asked about them. Li Xiyue gave up and decided to sell them in her personal online store instead.
Fruits and vegetables didn't sell as well as meat because there was too little meat available, and ration coupons were required. Meat from meat processing plants was always in short supply, so many people would buy it on the black market.
The black market price is high, but no tickets are required.
Although fruits and melons don't sell as well as meat and grains, Li Xiyue's fruits and melons still sold quite a lot because they looked fresh and delicious.
Li Xiyue had already sold a round of goods when Wang Jiaxing and Zhou Yunze finally arrived late.
They pushed the cart in directly and placed it in the empty space next to Li Xiyue.
The two men, covered in sweat, didn't bother to wipe it off and started hawking their wares.
The two had quite a few regular customers, and as soon as they called out, many people came over, making the area in front of their stall very lively.
Because of the large quantity of goods, Wang Jiaxing was able to sell them at a slightly lower price than before, which attracted even more buyers.
The important thing is that the wine is good, and most of the customers are repeat customers.
About an hour later, the wine and the game were all sold out. The two men wiped the sweat from their faces and pushed their cart away.
Just as they left the black market, a whistle rang out.
The two exchanged a terrified glance and shouted in unison, "Run!"
Pushing the cart, he ran out like a madman.
Shortly after they left, a group of police officers stormed into the black market, causing chaos inside.
Even after leaving the black market, the two didn't dare stop. They kept pushing the cart and running. They seemed to hear footsteps behind them, and their hearts pounded. They walked with great speed.
But the footsteps kept following closely, and ahead lay a dead end; despair filled both of their eyes.
What made them even more desperate was that someone had climbed over the wall of the dead end, and there were shouts from behind the wall from the police.
"This way!" The person behind them rushed over and shouted at the two of them.
Seeing that he was a fellow traveler, the two felt relieved and, without saying a word, pushed their carts and followed him.
So, on a starry night that month, a thrilling chase ensued in the commune, with the chase continuing and the escape repeated.
Fortunately, it didn't turn into a situation where they couldn't escape.
"Alright, no need to run anymore." Xujia Village was just ahead, and Zhou Yunze stopped, panting heavily.
Wang Jiaxing, whose heart had been hanging in suspense all night, finally relaxed. He plopped down on the ground, removed the cloth covering his face, and gasped for breath.
After a while, Zhou Yunze looked at the young man who was also sitting on the ground, panting and looking disheveled, and said, "Brother, thanks."
If he hadn't led them out, they would have been caught by now.
If I get caught, nine times out of ten I'll be sent to a farm, and that's it.
This was the first time they had encountered the police arresting people since they started going to the black market, and the two were quite frightened.
Li Xiyue, dressed as a young man, waved his hand wearily.
Zhou Yunze thought he meant "no need to thank me," but then he heard him say, "Words are too pale, how about something more practical?"
As he spoke, he even gestured as if counting money, making his meaning quite obvious.
Zhou Yunze: "..."
Wang Jiaxing: "..."
Since the other party had helped them a lot, the two of them were not stingy and each gave her a dollar as a thank you gift.
