Siheyuan: With the system in hand, the world is mine

Chapter 12 Visiting the black market at night

"Are Shazhu okay?" Looking at Wang Haoran's back gradually walking away, Yi Zhonghai carefully helped up Shazhu, who was lying on the ground with wounds all over his body, and asked about his condition in a worried voice.

“Ah… Uncle, please be gentle…” When Sha Zhu’s wound was touched, he gasped in pain and his facial features twisted together.

"Come on...Sha Zhu, I'll take you to the hospital." Without saying a word, Yi Zhonghai helped Sha Zhu up and walked quickly towards the hospital.

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely return the hundred yuan to you." Sha Zhu endured the pain and said to Yi Zhonghai with gritted teeth, glaring fiercely in the direction where Wang Haoran left, with anger and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

"It's okay, you don't have to pay back the money." Yi Zhonghai knew very well that the reason why Sha Zhu was injured so seriously this time was because he helped him a lot.

He was really embarrassed to accept the money emotionally and logically. What's more, doing so would make Sha Zhu grateful to him, which could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

On the other side, Wang Haoran took his sister back home and went straight into the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner. After a while, he heard the crackling sound of frying in the pot.

Before long, a rich aroma of meat filled the entire courtyard.

"Dad, when can we buy some meat to try? I just eat these hard steamed buns every day, and there is no meat taste at all." Smelling the tempting aroma, Yan Jiecheng, the eldest son of the Yan family, could not help but look at his father Yan Bugui and asked expectantly.

"Still want to eat meat? Just be content with what you have!" Yan Bugui said unhappily, "Is it easy for me to support such a large family like yours alone? You, on the other hand, are sixteen years old and do nothing all day long. You don't even know how to go out and find a job!" After saying these words.

He turned around and told his wife to open the door, "Eat quickly, the meat tastes so good with rice." Then, Yan Bugui picked up the portioned steamed buns and started chewing them with big mouthfuls, with a satisfied look on his face.

However, in stark contrast to Yan Bugui's home is Liu Haizhong's home. At this moment, Liu Haizhong is laughing alone with the door closed.

"Hahaha... I feel so good today. Seeing Old Yi's deflated look is so comforting! What right does he have to boss me around? This position of the boss should belong to me!" After laughing.

Liu Haizhong turned his head and looked at the second aunt and said, "Old lady! Give me two more eggs! I'm in a good mood today!"

"Okay..." The second aunt also replied happily.

"Yes...that's right...Dad is the most suitable person to be the uncle!" When they heard that there were eggs to eat, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian immediately echoed.

However, only Liu Guangqi quietly hid aside without saying a word. He knew very well that it would not be long before his two unlucky brothers would be beaten again.

As expected, before he could finish his words, Liu Haizhong roared in anger: "What are you talking about? Look at how Wang Haoran lives a glorious and respectable life! And then look at the two of you. Not only are you not good at studying, but you also do nothing all day long. You just wander around the streets and don't even know how to find a proper job!"

After saying that, Liu Haizhong suddenly pulled out the Seven Wolves leather belt that was tied around his waist and started beating his two sons severely.

In an instant, the entire courtyard was filled with miserable screams. Second Aunt and Liu Guangqi were already accustomed to such scenes.

At this moment, the Jia family was also bustling with activity. When Jia Zhang smelled the aroma of meat coming from next door, she was so angry that she started to curse: "This little bastard has meat to eat every day, but he doesn't even think of giving me some to show his filial piety! I'd better let him eat until he dies. He is really a family that will never have any descendants!"

However, Jia Zhang only dared to curse in her own house. After all, she had witnessed Sha Zhu's miserable condition with her own eyes, and she dared not repeat the same mistake.

After Wang Haoran and his sister finished their meal, they climbed onto the bed contentedly, closed their eyes and fell asleep.

Not long after, Wang Haoran suddenly opened his eyes. He turned his head to look at his sister who was sleeping beside him. Seeing her breathing steady, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then, he thought about it and instantly arrived at the system space. All he saw were golden grains, and a strong sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

Wang Haoran couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently touch these precious grains, feeling the unique scent they exuded.

He bent down, picked up a bucket of clear spring water, and carefully watered each crop. The cool water moistened the land and also nourished the crops that were about to mature.

After doing all this, Wang Haoran thought to himself: "Based on the current growth trend, maybe we can harvest the crops tomorrow?"

With full of expectations, Wang Haoran exited the system space. After returning to the real world, he washed and dressed up, looking brand new.

At this moment, the night has fallen deep, the courtyard is completely silent, and the residents have already fallen asleep.

Only the occasional chirping of cuckoos adds a bit of vitality to the silent night.

At this moment, a dark figure quietly appeared on the wall of the courtyard. The figure was as agile as a monkey, and it easily jumped onto the top of the wall in a few jumps.

Then, the black shadow rushed down like a flying bird and disappeared into the dark and deep alley in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.

In the old city, everything was quiet under the cover of night, but undercurrents were surging in some hidden corners.

The black market, this mysterious and dangerous place, attracts all kinds of people to come and trade.

Wang Haoran was wearing heavy clothes, wrapping himself tightly, leaving only a pair of sharp eyes exposed. He carefully groped his way here according to his original body's memory.

Just as he was looking around, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness. The man was shrouded in a black robe, looming, and occasionally scanning the surrounding environment with a vigilant look.

As he approached, the other party asked in a low voice: "Are you here to buy or sell something?"

Wang Haoran took a deep breath and answered calmly: "I want to buy and sell." His voice was low and firm.

Hearing this, the mysterious man nodded slightly, turned around and led the way without saying anything. Wang Haoran followed closely behind him, passing through the winding and narrow streets, and soon arrived in front of a secluded courtyard.

"Brother, we have business!" The guide said softly to the crack of the door when he arrived at the gate. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a light "click" sound, and the gate slowly opened.

Watching the person in front walk into the yard, Wang Haoran was quite confident in his own martial arts skills and followed without hesitation.

As he entered the courtyard, an old smell hit him. Wang Haoran looked around and found that although the courtyard was simple, it revealed a different atmosphere.

While I was thinking about it, the person leading the way in front of me had already entered the house and closed the door.

"Hello, brother! I'm the person in charge of this area, my name is Xu Wei. Do you need to buy anything? Or do you want to sell something?" As he spoke, a burly, dark-skinned man walked towards this side.

"Oh, hello Brother Xu! My name is Wang San. I want to buy some meat seedlings and sell some food at the same time." Wang Haoran thought to himself, and naturally did not dare to reveal his real name easily. In case something happened in the future, it would be better to leave a way out for himself.

Besides, let’s try to sell some food first to test the waters, and we can deal with fruits and other things later.

Hearing this, Xu Wei frowned slightly, and was silent for a while before speaking: "Brother Wang, it's not easy to get young meat seedlings! However, I can get chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. for you, but the price may be a little higher.

If you want them, I'll charge you 60 cents for each seedling. How many do you need? Come and pick them up tomorrow."

Then, Xu Wei continued, "As for food, I can only give you 20 cents per pound for wheat and 30 cents per pound for rice. This is the highest price I can offer!" As Xu Wei spoke, he looked at the stranger in front of him.

"Well, that's great! Then let's follow this standard: we don't need too many seedlings, so just prepare ten of each. It's best to keep the ratio of males to females balanced, with half of each being appropriate."

Then, he changed his mind and realized that the space he owned was very large, and the amount of food stored in it was probably hundreds of thousands of kilograms!

That's a lot of money! Not only that, but those half-sex rabbits can reproduce in the future. Just imagining that scene is enough to make people excited.

However, Wang Haoran knew very well that what he lacked most at the moment were banknotes and tickets. So he added without hesitation: "But please give me half of the money and tickets when we trade."

Hearing this, Xu Wei nodded readily and said, "No problem, just come and get it tomorrow."

"By the way, Brother Xu, do you have any way to get piglets? I only need two, one male and one female, not too many." Wang Haoran looked at Xu Wei expectantly and asked.

Xu Wei frowned, and seeing that Wang Haoran was unwilling to give up, he replied helplessly: "It's not easy to get piglets! The country is very strict about this now.

But if you really want it, you can go to the countryside and look around. Maybe some people will sell it secretly. But this situation is rare after all, and the risk is also high. "

Hearing this, Wang Haoran's mood instantly dropped. He had originally held out a glimmer of hope, thinking that Xu Wei could help him solve this problem.

However, the reality is so cruel that it seems extremely difficult to breed piglets.

He sighed secretly and thought: That's right, there is a shortage of pork everywhere in the factory these days, and the pork from the countryside has basically been monopolized by the factory's buyers, so how can there be any surplus to flow out?

Although he was a little disappointed, Wang Haoran still thanked Xu Wei. After all, the other party had tried his best to give him advice, but the actual conditions were not optimistic.

Afterwards, Wang Haoran turned around and left, decisively and without any hesitation.
