"I put too much water when cooking just now, and there's some left. Remember to wash the pot after you finish eating." Yang Rui glared at him again before turning and leaving.

When Shen Yan heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes. He walked to the kitchen and looked at the porridge in the pot.

He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Shen Yan lay on the kang at night. The autumn season was about to arrive and the nights were already chilly.

But covered with a thick quilt, I felt very warm.

Now, there are still more than three years before the educated youth return to the city, and it seems that they will have to stay here for a long time.

Thinking of the still somewhat thin boy, it seems that I need to plan my future life well.

Shen Yan slowly fell asleep while lost in thought.

In the morning, the sky is slightly bright.

Shen Yan rubbed his dry eyes and got down from the kang. Last night was the most peaceful night of sleep he had had in recent times.

My spirits and energy have improved a lot.

I simply washed up.

Light the fire and cook the porridge.

Looking at the little rice left in the rice bag, it seemed that he had to go to the black market.

After Shen Yan cooked the porridge, he poured it into a bowl, walked to the main room and put the porridge on the table.

"Bang... bang bang bang, Xiao Rui, get up, it's time to eat."

Yang Rui was woken up from his sleep and was extremely angry.

"Xiao Rui, get up..."

"Stop shouting. I'm getting up." Yang Rui was annoyed and quickly got up and dressed.

Shen Yan was stunned, turned back to the kitchen and put out the fire.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, he walked into the yard and was about to leave.

“You’re leaving?

After washing up, Yang Rui came to the yard and was stunned when he saw Shen Yan walking out.

"You eat first. I'm going to work." Shen Yan said lightly and walked out.

"Yang Rui looked at Shen Yan's back, then at the porridge and candy on the table, and was stunned for a moment.

He picked up the candy, looked at it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"So sweet." Yang Rui said to himself, put the candy into his mouth and savored the sweet taste.

After Shen Yan left, Yang Rui sat alone at the table, drinking porridge and eating the candy left by Shen Yan, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

the other side.

After Shen Yan started working, he didn't see Yang Rui all day because the location of the work he was assigned to do was relatively remote, and he didn't go home after work.

He remembered that the village was not far from the town and it would take about half an hour to walk there.

Judging from his walking speed, he should be able to go even faster, so he planned to go to the black market today.

If we go faster, we will be back by dark.

Shen Yan traveled quickly all the way and soon arrived at the town.

It took some effort to find the black market mentioned in the article. Relying on his memory, Shen Yan went through several alleys and came to the entrance of the black market.

He dressed up simply and took out two dimes from his pocket.

He didn't say anything like a secret code and just handed the money directly to a tall and thin man.

The other party looked at him for a few seconds, then waved his hand, motioning him to go in.

Shen Yan didn't stop and walked straight in.

There weren't many people in the black market, and everyone kept their heads down. No one spoke, and no one shouted.

Shen Yan squatted in a corner, looking around. Not far away, a thin man was looking at him in astonishment.

In front of him was a piece of cloth and a basket, which was covered tightly.

"Hey, little brother, do you want to take a look? This is a good thing."

Seeing Shen Yan looking at him, the thin man invited him warmly.

Shen Yan came back to his senses and nodded.

"Hey, bro, I have a watch here. No ticket required. 180 will do..."

"Watch?" Shen Yan was disappointed when he heard it. Watch? He already had one.

When the thin man saw Shen Yan was about to leave, he suddenly became anxious, picked up a piece of meat and ran over.

Shen Yan paused, looked at the meat in the other person's hand, turned around and walked over.

The thin man grinned when he saw that his goal had been achieved.

His stall is full of odds and ends. He has everything. He has all the high-end stuff people need.

You know, there is Brother Yuan behind him...

"How much meat do you have?" Shen Yan's eyes lit up as he looked at the pork belly in front of him.

"Little brother, look, how much of this meat do you want?"

"I wonder how much you sell this meat for per pound?" Shen Yan thought for a moment.

He didn't have much meat coupons left, so if it wasn't too expensive, he could buy some more and put them in the space.

The thin man raised a finger when he heard this.

"piece??"

"Yeah, let me tell you, this isn't expensive, I don't even need a ticket for these, and if you buy more, I can give you a discount."

"This is not expensive. Pork in the supply cooperative seems to be only 60 cents!" Shen Yan's mouth twitched involuntarily. This is double the price!

"Hey, little guy, this is pork belly, 60 cents? How can you buy such good meat without a ticket?" The thin man looked at Shen Yan with disbelief.

"Forget it." Shen Yan shook his head.

"Hey, brother, don't go, don't go. If you buy more than ten kilograms, I will charge you 9 cents, okay? It's not easy for us, you have to let us make some money..." The man hurriedly grabbed Shen Yan who was about to leave.

Shen Yan nodded secretly.

"Okay! It's not easy for everyone, so give me 20 kilograms..."

Take out a few bills and put them directly into the other person's hand.

The thin man looked at the money in his hand and was immediately overjoyed.

You know, 18 yuan is a lot of money. He saw that the guy was well dressed before, but he didn't expect that he was really a rich man.

You have to know that in this era people buy meat by half a pound or a pound, but here you can buy 20 pounds.

"Hey, wait a moment, I'll cut the meat for you." The thin man said as he took out a large piece of meat from the basket behind him.

I picked up the meat, weighed it, estimated the position, and cut it casually.

"Twenty pounds, not an ounce less." The man weighed the cut meat.

Sure enough, it was neither more nor less, just twenty kilograms.

He strung them together with straw strips and handed them to Shen Yan.

"Brother, I have tied up this meat for you, take it."

"Thank you." Shen Yan picked up the meat and put it into a black bag in his hand, then turned and left.

But he had only taken two steps when he was stopped by another strong man.

“By the way, young man, do you want some flour and rice?” The other party lowered his voice and asked him.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan stopped.

"Young man, if you want it, the price is negotiable." Seeing the other party stop, the man immediately continued.

Shen Yan pondered for a moment and turned around.

"How much do you sell your flour and rice?"

"Young man, you have come to the right place. You can't buy these in the supply cooperative now. I have the best flour and rice, both of which are good grains." The man said, making the numbers 5 and 6 with his hands.
