Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Jia Dongxu was preparing to go to the black market, and Chen Xu also had the same plan.

Director Chen asked him to purchase dry goods, so he had to choose carefully. Now he only had a few dozen kilograms in his space, so it would not be a problem to purchase a hundred kilograms. Naturally, he had to buy them as soon as possible and then return them to the factory in batches.

Chen Xu now feels that he is actually just a middleman, the only difference is probably that he has a fixed buyer.

After feeding the fish in the space for a while, and letting the fish help to remove the dead skin on his feet, Chen Xu felt pretty good. These little creatures were not raised in vain. In his previous life, he went to do a special fish foot massage, which would have cost at least several dozen yuan...

Chen Xu quietly slipped out of the door, keeping his eyes and ears open, and slowly walked towards the central courtyard.

As soon as he entered the middle courtyard, Chen Xu was speechless when he saw Zongzi who had also sneaked out of home.

He was now sticking close to the wall, almost blending in with it, and Jia Dongxu obviously didn't see him.

Chen Xu looked at Jia Dongxu who was walking towards the front yard alone, and wondered why this guy didn't call Yi Zhonghai this time. But he just thought about it and felt that it was not strange for him to go to the black market alone.

Still following this guy, Chen Xu wanted to see if he knew the locations of other black markets. He knew two black markets, but for this kind of thing, the more he knew, the better, so that he would have room for choice in the future.

Unfortunately, Chen Xu was very familiar with the route this guy took; it was the black market he had visited last time.

But it didn't matter, he was originally planning to go there to discuss some small business.

After entering the black market with ease, Chen Xu no longer cared about Jia Dongxu. Now that the grudge was settled, Chen Xu had no intention of tricking this guy again. If this guy had not come to him last time, he probably would not have done anything.

After walking around, Chen Xu felt a little depressed.

When he wanted to buy something, this guy disappeared. Chen Xu now began to consider whether to wait here or go to another black market.

Looking at the stalls in the alley, Chen Xu still planned to open the blind box first. Since he was already here, he might as well take a look at the goods first.

"Um, old man, you are here..."

Chen Xu greeted quietly.

The old man who was adding tobacco to his pipe paused, turned around and looked speechlessly at Chen Xu who was squatting next to him.

"What are you doing here at night?"

"Of course I want to see if there is anything I can purchase. You don't understand, it's hard to get unplanned supplies now..."

The old man had a dark face and said, "You don't understand shit. I know much more than you."

However, he remembered that there was no action tonight, so he did not chase Chen Xu away. The two squatted in the corner and chatted.

"You guys should be careful when you go out at night. Someone was caught by the police accidentally that day."

Chen Xu looked speechlessly at the old man who didn't even try to cover himself.

"How dare you say that to me, old man? At least others can't see my appearance. You should be more careful when you are so upright. By the way, old man, how did you run away last time?"

The old man was speechless and wanted to say that he didn't need to run, but it was a rare opportunity to meet such an interesting little guy, so he changed his excuse.

"I have acquaintances, so I'm not afraid of that."

Chen Xu gave a thumbs up.

"You are awesome."

He believed what the old man said. When he ran away, he even glanced at the old man. Everyone else dispersed, but this old man was smoking calmly. No one would dare to do that without some background.

Thinking that this was Sijiu City, Chen Xu was not surprised. In this place, there were many people with some background, so one more old man would not be a big difference.

"Okay, you guys are busy, I'll go take a look first."

The old man watched Chen Xu moving around and disappearing into the alley in a few seconds, and shook his head helplessly.

Forget it, when this little guy is really caught one day, I will let him go.

The old man no longer cared about Chen Xu and just smoked by himself.

Chen Xu walked around the alley and didn't see many useful things, but it wasn't completely a waste of time. The kitchen knife in his hand was his gain today.

He felt that the tetanus blade in his space was not very suitable for cutting vegetables, but it could be used to chop people, after all, it was an enchanted weapon.

Chen Xu also looked at Jia Dongxu, who was squatting in front of a guy selling sweet potatoes and saying something.

Not intending to pay any attention to this guy, Chen Xu turned around and left the black market, planning to go to another black market.

Half an hour later.

Chen Xu complained in his heart while paying another two cents. He now seriously suspected that these guys opened a few more black markets just to collect more entrance fees.

It took Chen Xu three attempts to go from the excitement of his first visit to the black market to the helplessness he has now. The legendary black market is actually not as rich in supplies as he imagined. At least he has never encountered any good stuff, let alone picking up a bargain.

Looking at the familiar figure selling bills to others, Chen Xu smiled.

Chen Xu randomly found a stall not far away and took a look. He pretended to say a few words to a book seller. When he stood up, a hand patted him on the shoulder.

The movements were familiar, and so were the sounds.

"Brother, do you want to buy bran?"

Chen Xu seriously suspected that these guys had taken away all the bran in Sijiu City, resulting in this stuff being the most popular thing now.

"No, is there anything else?"

"Forehead!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Xu really wanted to buy something. The other party was a little dazed. He just heard Chen Xu's voice and came to say hello out of habit. He didn't intend to really sell anything.

As a veteran who has been in the black market for many years, he reacted quickly.

"what do you want?"

"What's the current price of dried food? I want to buy some to satisfy my hunger, but it's too late to buy fresh meat at the market now."

"Yes, which one do you want?"

The other party was quite straightforward.

"Be more specific, how do I know what you have?"

"It's just some ordinary stuff, dried chicken, dried fish, bacon, dried venison, etc. What else do you expect?"

Chen Xu nodded, lowered his head and thought for a moment, feeling that he could buy some of both.

"Tell me the price."

"Except for the fish, which costs 60 cents and doesn't require a ticket, the others cost one dollar."

Chen Xu was speechless. As expected, fish couldn't be sold at a good price these days, and dried fish was only 60 cents.

"Okay, take me to see it."

"Let's go. By the way, how much do you want?"

"Let's wait and see. I have to see the goods first."

"Brother, to be honest, if we weren't acquaintances, I wouldn't bother taking you there just to buy something to improve the food."

Chen Xu was a little curious.

"What? You guys are planning to wholesale the dry goods?"

"Wholesale is bullshit. I can just eat the dried goods myself."

Chen Xu understood. No wonder this guy sold bran every day.

If you can't sell the dried goods, you can just eat them yourself. I think you can open several black markets, and there should be a lot of people, so you can consider it as an improvement in your food.

But if the bran can’t be sold, there’s nothing we can do. Can you expect them to eat the bran themselves?

"It's here, choose it yourself, I won't go in, the smell makes me want to vomit..."

The other party pointed at the rows of dry goods hanging in the room and said with a look of disgust.

Chen Xu: ...
