Chapter 81 The Black Market is Really Black
Before entering the black market, the people in charge of guarding the gate were a little stunned when they saw his outfit.
"Dude, you're too dark!"
He said with a dry laugh.
"Excuse me, I just don't want others to see my face clearly."
They seemed accustomed to this situation and responded with a smile.
"Okay, okay. Most people who come here are like this. But you are indeed wearing too dark."
Without further explanation, he handed the other party a dime and walked into the black market.
This was his first time here, and even his original self was here for the first time.
After all, as a cook at a steel mill, he didn't need to worry about the source of food, as everything was taken care of by the steel mill's purchasers.
However, the moment he stepped into the black market, the scene before him surprised him greatly.
In the pitch-black environment, many figures could be vaguely seen gathering in front of the stalls.
The stall owners all lowered their heads and whispered softly, as if they were afraid that their voices would be heard by others.
At the same time, buyers held flashlights and carefully shone them on the items in front of them, examining them carefully and trying to see every detail.
After all, in such dim lighting conditions, if you are not careful and make a mistake, once you are cheated, you will never be able to go back to the seller to ask for an explanation.
Just then, a question was heard.
"Old woman, how are you selling these chickens?"
It turned out that someone came to an old lady's stall.
The old woman replied quickly.
"These are hens that lay eggs. They cost two yuan each."
Then he added.
"They are still young and in good health, not sick, so the price is slightly higher."
Finally, she emphasized one sentence.
"I raised these chickens myself in the village. If it weren't for the lack of money, I wouldn't be willing to sell them."
The other party took out money without hesitation to buy two chickens, then picked up a bag, put the chickens in with quick movements, and left without looking back.
He Yuzhu stood there and took it all in.
He secretly speculated in his heart: Judging from the man's appearance, his family must be short of eggs, so he bought two hens and took them back to eat after they laid eggs.
However, for He Yuzhu, there is no such demand at present.
After all, his space could not accommodate living things. Thinking of this, he shook his head slightly and continued to look forward.
Soon, his attention was drawn to a stall in front of him - pork was being sold there, and it looked like pork belly of quite good quality.
He Yuzhu's mind moved, and based on his years of experience he judged that the stall owner in front of him was most likely a butcher.
This kind of good meat is rare. I guess the stall owner deliberately hid it and planned to sell it at a higher price.
As for the meat of slightly lower quality, it will be sold to ordinary people.
Despite knowing this, He Yuzhu still felt that he needed to buy some good meat, so he stepped forward and asked the price.
"How much is this piece of meat?"
"One price, ten yuan! Such a big piece must weigh at least ten kilograms." The stall owner replied.
He Yuzhu reached out and picked up the piece of meat, weighed it carefully, and estimated that the weight was almost the same as what the stall owner said.
So he made a prompt decision.
"Okay, I'll buy it. But you have to find a bag for me to put it in, otherwise I can't just carry it away like this."
As he spoke, he took out a brand new black ten-cent note from his pocket and handed it to the stall owner.
The man swiftly took out a large bag from where he was sitting and put the pork into it.
He Yuzhu picked up the bag and left, continuing walking forward.
Unexpectedly, he saw someone selling flour and rice!
This is really a rare thing!
You know, these things are strictly controlled materials, and everyone has a fixed quota.
Unlike pork, you can always get some pork scraps.
He squatted down and started chatting with the seller.
"Hey, bro, how are you selling your flour and rice? How much stock do you have?"
The person opposite him felt a little scared when he saw He Yuzhu's outfit, but he still plucked up the courage to respond.
"White flour costs one yuan per pound, and rice costs one yuan and two cents per pound. If you buy a lot, you can get some discounts."
"So, how much stock do you have?"
He Yuzhu asked.
"That depends on how much you need. We have plenty of supplies here. I guarantee it will be enough for you to eat for three to five years!"
Hearing this, He Yuzhu immediately realized that the person in front of him might just be an agent and not the real owner of the materials.
"Brother, I'm in urgent need of 100 kilograms of rice and kilograms of flour. Can you provide them to me?"
He Yuzhu stared at the person in front of him and spoke slowly.
After hearing this, the person on the other side was silent for a moment, and then responded.
"Such a large amount... although it may be a little difficult, it is doable if you are willing to go with me to get it."
He Yuzhu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, a hint of confidence flashed in his eyes, and he thought secretly in his heart.
Humph! You can't do anything. After all, whether it's in terms of force or weapons and equipment, even if the other party calls for more helpers, I will never be at a disadvantage.
So he agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, then please lead the way, brother."
Then, the two of them quickly walked towards the other corner of the black market.
This action surprised him, as he originally thought that he had to leave the black market to get the items he needed.
However, something even more unexpected was waiting for him.
After arriving at the destination, I saw the man just now speaking respectfully to a man who looked like a leader.
"Boss, he needs 100 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of flour."
The man called "Boss" nodded slightly, indicating that he was aware of the situation, then turned and spoke to him.
"Okay, I understand. Please go back to where you were and report any abnormalities to me in a timely manner."
It was not until this moment that He Yuzhu suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the one who truly held the power and had the final say!
"Brother, what on earth do you want to use so much rice and flour for at once?" the boss asked curiously.
The result was a ridiculous answer.
Hey, brother, you see, rice and flour are for eating, of course, to fill your stomach!"
He couldn't help feeling speechless and muttered to himself.
How could this guy ask such a stupid question? Doesn't he even have basic common sense?
"Well, if you feel comfortable, come with us and we will take you to get what you want."
The boss said.
"But, aren't the things here? Do we have to go outside the black market?" He Yuzhu asked puzzledly.
"Of course I have 50 kilograms of flour and 50 kilograms of rice. Most people won't buy so much at once, so we are not well prepared. We can only go back to our place to get it. There is more food there, definitely enough for you to buy." Another person explained.
"Okay, let's go quickly then."
He Yuzhu thought that he had nothing to be afraid of anyway, so he simply followed them and left the black market.
However, what he didn't know was that the people in charge of guarding the black market had already noticed his and those people's movements.
They knew very well the identities of that gang and what they were doing, but since that gang did not cause any trouble in the black market, they did not try to stop them.
Watching He Yuzhu leaving with the group of people, they couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly.
