Chapter 17 Black Market
Early the next morning, before daybreak, Su Qing went out with a backpack on her back. At this time, most people in the village had not gotten up yet, so no one saw Su Qing leave Lihua Village.
The county town next to Lihua Village is called Xiyuan County. The county town is not small and has several large factories. Therefore, the residents of Xiyuan County have a much better life than those in the surrounding villages.
It was about thirteen or fourteen miles from Lihua Village to Xiyuan County. Su Qing walked fast and arrived outside the county town in a little over an hour.
However, Su Qing was not in a hurry to enter the county town. She looked around and took advantage of the fact that no one was around to slip into a nearby woods. Then she took out a small cloth bag from her backpack.
In the small cloth bag were some plant leaves and rhizomes that Su Qing had collected in Baihua Mountain yesterday. Because it was a healing + control wood-based ability, Su Qing knew all the properties and therapeutic effects of the plants. She could even use the wood-based ability to mix several plants into juices with different effects.
The leaves and rhizomes in the small cloth bag are what Su Qing will use to disguise herself today.
She used her special powers to mix several kinds of branches, leaves and roots together, and then smeared them on her face and hands. After a while, the image of a woman in her thirties with a slightly dark complexion emerged, but even the scar on her left cheek was covered up.
Afterwards, Su Qing took out another piece of clothing from the backpack and put it on. This piece of clothing belonged to Li Wan. Although her original body had resentment towards Li Wan, she had always carefully kept several of Li Wan's clothes and preserved them very well.
After finishing packing, Su Qing left the grove with the backpack on her back and entered Xiyuan County.
This was the first time Su Qing saw the county town in the 1970s. Different from the high-rise buildings decades later and the ruins at the end of the world, the county town in front of Su Qing felt gray.
The red brick walls of the house have become quite mottled due to the baptism of time. People's clothes do not have too many bright colors, just a few colors of blue, black and gray. Compared with the fast pace of several decades later and the desolation and depression of the end of the world, this place makes Su Qing feel the breath of life.
This is probably the case in this mundane world.
What Su Qing didn't know was that not long after she entered Xiyuan County, Su Shengli hurried to the county town on a bicycle with Su Lihui.
"Ouch, Dad, please slow down." After all, the road from Lihua Village to the county town was not very smooth. Su Lihui was bumped so hard that he felt like his whole body was being pricked by needles. He kept shouting "Ouch, ouch" all the way. Su Shengli couldn't help but get anxious and felt panic-stricken as if his son was terminally ill.
Therefore, Su Shengli didn't dare to slow down and rode his bicycle to the county hospital as fast as he could. Finally, when the father and son entered the county hospital, the nurse was so scared that she wanted to send Su Lihui directly to the emergency room, which almost caused a big mistake.
Su Shengli and his son almost caused a big misunderstanding in the county hospital, but Su Qing didn't know that at this time, she had just found the entrance to the black market. This time she brought the wild rabbit and mushrooms here to explore the way first. She couldn't do small business openly now, so she planned to save more money in the black market first and keep it as capital for small business next year.
As for the five hundred dollars from selling her job and the money and things hidden by the original owner's mother, she later thought about it again and decided to temporarily embezzle some of it as a transition and then fill it back in when she had more money on hand.
The original body's resentment towards Li Wan was too deep, so deep that he was unwilling to touch the things Li Wan left behind, and even gave up his own life. However, the original body still had a trace of admiration for Li Wan in his heart, otherwise he would not have kept Li Wan's clothes so intact. This contradiction made Su Qing very sympathetic to the original body.
Therefore, she planned to wait until she found Li Wan in the future before deciding where the money would go. If Li Wan really didn't care about her original body at all, she would leave the money and all the things Li Wan had left behind to Li Wan, completely severing the mother-daughter relationship. If Li Wan still had affection for her original body, then she would show filial piety to her original body, as a reward for occupying her original body's body, and help her fulfill her love for Confucianism.
Su Qing followed the two men to find the black market. From the conversation between the two men, Su Qing also figured out the rules and codes for entering the black market.
"Hey, this girl looks unfamiliar. Who are you looking for?" At the entrance of the black market, a woman in her thirties was sitting at the entrance of the alley knitting a sweater. When she saw Su Qing, she asked with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, my sister-in-law asked me to help her send something to her parents' home." Su Qing also spoke with a smile and secretly handed over five cents. This five cents was the entrance fee to the black market.
"Oh, your sister-in-law is really filial. Come in quickly." The woman took the money with a smile and said to Su Qing, "It's a good time to come now. Everyone is at home."
"Yes, thank you, sister-in-law." Su Qing thanked the woman with a smile, then carried the basket into the black market.
When the woman saw Su Qing enter the black market, she continued knitting while secretly observing the situation around her. Su Qing watched this secretly in her heart and couldn't help but sigh that the controller of the black market was indeed cautious enough.
After entering the black market, Su Qing realized that this so-called black market occupied several alleys. The alleys were interconnected. If something really happened, everyone would flee in all directions, which greatly reduced the probability of being wiped out.
Su Qing was not in a hurry to buy or sell things, but walked around the alleys one by one. Because of her special powers, she had amazing hearing and could roughly hear what people on the roadside were saying even without getting close.
I have to say that although this is a black market in a county town and there are not too many things here, it is still acceptable. Basically, pork, rice, noodles, vegetables and some daily necessities are all available, and it seems that there are fish for sale occasionally.
Soon, Su Qing figured out the approximate prices of some things in the black market. Basically, they were traded at about twice the market price. Of course, no receipts were required.
In this way, Su Qing had a clear idea in her mind. She found a place and put her backpack on the ground. The things in this basket, besides a wild rabbit, were some mushrooms. Su Qing knew that these things would not sell for much money, so she was not in a hurry. Anyway, her main purpose today was to find out the bottom line.
Not long after, Su Qing sold all the wild rabbits and mushrooms in the basket. The wild rabbits were sold for three dollars and fifty cents, and the mushrooms were ordinary mushrooms, but they were fresh. In the end, they were bought by two aunts at four cents a pound, and Su Qing earned eighty cents.
Well, four dollars and thirty cents, this is much more than what I earned in the previous day's work. Holding this small stack of money, Su Qing was full of confidence.
