Siheyuan, a primordial wonderland

Looking at the dark alley in front of him, not to mention Chen Ping's mood and expression...

At this time, Liu Yue'e felt a little trembling.

The whole person hurriedly moved closer to Chen Ping, appearing to be extremely frightened.

Seeing him like this, Chen Ping couldn't help but laugh and whispered to comfort him...

"Don't be afraid, this is a black market. Let's go and find a place first!"

Then, Chen Ping and Liu Yue'e walked towards the dark alley.

As soon as they arrived in the alley, they were immediately stopped by a group of people, all of whom were tall and strong.

However, after these people stopped Chen Ping, they did not say anything about making trouble. Only a person sitting at a table nearby started talking!

"You two, are you here to sell something? Or to buy something?"

Hearing this, Chen Ping, who had just arrived, did not have any thoughts about Long Aotian, so he said calmly...

“We are here to sell things…”

"If you want to sell something, you have to pay 20 cents to enter."

Hearing this, Chen Ping signaled with his eyes to Liu Yue'e who was standing next to him, and Liu Yue'e took out two cents from her pocket and handed it to the group of people who stopped them.

After the man received the money, he recorded it in a notebook and signaled Chen Ping and Liu Yue'e that they could go in.

The two of them did not linger there for long, and walked straight into the dark alley with their things...

Although the alley is dark and deep, it is still clear under the bright moon in the sky.

Along the way, Liu Yue'e held Chen Ping tightly, fearing that she would get lost.

Chen Ping also carefully observed the people selling things on the roadside...

There was a ticket scalper standing in a corner with a few tickets in his hand.

There was also an old rural man squatting in a corner with a chicken coop in front of him.

There are also bicycle sellers who are dressed elegantly but hide their faces with cloth hats...

There were all kinds of people, but Chen Ping didn't see anyone selling vegetables or meat in the front section of the road, so he carried his things and walked to the back with Liu Yue'e...

After a while, Chen Ping arrived at a place where grain was sold.

Here, Chen Ping also saw more people, but if it were daytime, business would be booming.

Compared to the people in front who were selling chickens, bicycles, and all kinds of other things, this place seemed a bit crowded at this moment.

However, Chen Ping could see clearly that although there were people selling grain in this forked alley, there were not many of them!

What was sold were only coarse grains, and as soon as some fine grains appeared, they were immediately bought up by people who did not look like ordinary people in their clothes.

At the same time, Chen Ping also remembered the black markets described in the various novels he had read in his previous life...

In this era, there are many old people from the previous dynasty. If they buy a lot of things, they will pay with big yellow croaker or small yellow croaker.

However, Chen Ping did not stand there for long. He took Liu Yue'e and squatted down in an empty space.

Then he placed the things he brought in front of him. He first took out the fresh meat, and then placed a bag of smoked bacon next to it.

In this way, there is no need to worry about too many people and letting him touch it at will.

Although he was not afraid of someone reaching out to him with his current physical condition, he still followed the principle of caution, just in case...

Otherwise, when killing Chen Mazi, Chen Ping would not have thought of using the wild boar to trample him to death and then release him.

Just kill Wang Mazi and throw him into the Taichu Fairyland, where he can be used as fertilizer without anyone noticing.

You have to know that it is now the second half of 1958. Although many people have not yet realized that famine has come, what is most lacking in this era are smart people and people in high positions of power.

In China, who isn't related?

Maybe the person you offended today is just a helpless old man, but if he is really in trouble, the people you call will be able to beat you until you are paralyzed.

When Chen Pingan laid out the pork and opened it, someone immediately came up to ask...

Although when Chen Ping and Liu Yue'e came, they had covered their entire faces with a black cloth like everyone else to avoid being recognized.

But in the black market, apparently this is routine!

"Boss, how much do you sell this pork for?"

Of course, when this person came to ask questions, his voice was still very low and he didn't shout.

This is the black market after all.

"Boss, these fresh wild boar meats of mine are all pre-packaged. One pound per piece, two dollars per piece. If you don't believe me, you can go to the black fair scale to weigh them. If you find that there is a pound or less, just come and get me."

After hearing Chen Ping's words, the people who came to ask him questions put aside their doubts. After all, no one who can buy things in the black market is a fool or an honest person.

"Haha, boss, you are joking. Give me two pieces of this fresh wild boar meat."

When Chen Pingan heard this, he did not hesitate too much. He reached out and took out the fresh wild boar meat that he had prepared in advance from the basket and handed it to the visitor.

The person who came to buy pork did not hesitate and directly took out four dollars and handed it to Chen Ping.

This made Liu Yue'e, who was standing by, very happy. After Chen Ping got the money, he directly handed it to Liu Yue'e.

At the same time, he said, "Wife, where is it..."

This is the money from selling meat, you have to manage it well. From now on, the food, clothing and other expenses at home will depend on you.

Hearing this, Liu Yue'e was stunned for a moment, then a happy smile appeared on her face hidden under the mask.

The look he gave Chen Ping became even more gentle.

Although he didn't say anything these days, Chen Ping could feel it!

As he hunted more and more wild animals in the mountains these days and life at home became better and better, Liu Yue'e and Zhang Dahua became a little worried.

They were afraid that after Chen Ping recovered, he would abandon them and run away...

After all, such things are not uncommon these days. But today, in order to reassure Liu Yue'e and Zhang Dahua, Chen Ping thought of giving all the money from the sales to Liu Yue'e.

Letting him keep the money will also give him a greater sense of security.

When Liu Yue'e saw this, she smiled and said to Chen Ping...

"Brother Ping, you should keep this money. You will be the head of the family from now on. Mom and I will depend on you. You can't abandon us."

Hearing this, Chen Ping took Liu Yue'e's hand and held it in his own, then said...

"Yu'e, don't worry. Although I, Chen Ping, came here to escape famine and was picked up by you and my mother, I still understand the basic principle of repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of water."

"Don't worry, our family will never be separated in the future."

Well, at this moment, Liu Yue'e's eyes under the mask were a little red. It was obvious that Chen Ping'an's words moved her very much.

Just then, another guest came, and this time there was not just one, but several...

The first person who bought the meat just now spoke in a low voice, but in this small alley, how low could his voice be?

When they heard that Chen Ping was selling fresh wild boar meat at two yuan per pound, they all came forward to buy it.

Although two dollars is a lot for ordinary people, what is lacking these days is not the rich, but the supplies.

In addition, a major disaster is about to strike, and smart people have begun to consciously stockpile food.

"Boss, give me two..."

"I want three..."

"Boss, I want six..."

Waves of sounds came into Chen Ping's ears, and Chen Ping methodically took out strips of pork and handed them to every customer in need.

What he got were banknotes, which made Liu Yue'e's eyes sparkle with excitement.

He had never seen so much money, not even when his father was around.

In the countryside, work points are deducted for meals, and people eat and work together. So the money that can be saved in a year is only 20 or 30 yuan, and this is the result of a large family living frugally.

And now, what they are doing can really be regarded as a business with no capital investment.

It is said that Chen Ping went up the mountain to collect it. Apart from the firewood for smoking bacon which was chopped by several people going up the mountain, only a little salt was wasted.

But now it seems like a huge profit.

As more and more people came to buy, the large basket of fresh wild boar meat was sold out in a short while...

Chen Ping and Liu Yue'e earned more than 400 yuan.

There is also a bag of bacon, and many people are purchasing it. And these people are not just retail buyers!

Chen Ping even met two people, one old and one young, who came to purchase.

They bought a whole bag at once, and Chen Ping got two big yellow croakers!

Nowadays, what these old people lack is not money, but various material things. If they want to maintain their current life and face, aren’t they consuming the support left by their elders?

What Chen Ping needed was exactly the large and small yellow croakers they had, so the two sides could help and benefit each other.

As Chen Ping and Liu Yue'e's sales became popular, they also attracted the attention of some people in the black market...

At this time, outside their alley, there were three people watching Liu Yue'e and Chen Ping.

"Brother Dao, you see those two are selling fresh wild boar meat and bacon. Do you think we should charge them more for their hard work?"

Hearing this, the man with a scar on his face, called Brother Dao, became gloomy.

He turned around and looked at the person who was speaking, and said...

"Third brother, please don't make things more complicated for me. We maintain this black market. Although we can't make much money, we can still have enough food and clothing."

"There's still some extra money every month, so don't mess with me."

"You have to know that even though we are managing and protecting the black market in the capital, there is no guarantee that some big shots above will not notice it."

Otherwise, why do you think we can open this black market safely?

If you really do something out of line at that time, don’t blame Brother Jun for causing trouble for you. I won’t be able to help you then!
