Lu Heping's driving skills were indeed very good. Although Wen Qin still felt dizzy and nauseous, she did not vomit.

Lu Heping took Wen Qin's letter of introduction and went to register. Wen Qin looked around bored.

The layout is similar to that of the later express hotels, and it should have been newly renovated, and it even has a little smell of paint.

After Lu Heping helped Wen Qin deliver the bundle to the door of the room, he gave her a notebook and a pen: "The first page has our camp's phone number. If you have something to do during the day, just call me. The second number is for the guesthouse. I've made an agreement with them that if there's an emergency and I'm not here, they can help temporarily. As for the other precautions, I've written them down for you. Study them yourself."

Lu Heping gave the room key to Wen Qin and turned away.

Wen Qin opened the door and went in. It was a standard room. There were two 1.2-meter single beds covered with white sheets. There was a cabinet in the middle with two kettles on it.

Opposite the bed was a cabinet. Next to the window was a desk and a chair. On the desk was an oil lamp.

There is even a separate toilet.

There was an electric fan and an electric light hanging on the roof, both with long switch cords.

By today's standards, this room is almost like a five-star luxury suite.

Lu Heping didn't say how much it would cost, so Wen Qin planned to ask the front desk. She couldn't let anyone else pay for her.

Because it was winter, Wenqin only brought two sets of clothes and a bar of soap. The rest was money and tickets.

Wen Qin was not in a hurry. Whether in the Shanghai Stock Exchange now or in the future, as long as you have money and tickets, you can basically buy anything.

I don’t know what Xie Mingxia said to Lu Heping, but his notebook had the contact numbers and addresses of several factories written on it.

Not only fertilizers, but also farm implement factories, meat processing plants, food factories...

What surprised Wenqin was that there was also Shanghai-listed Jahwa.

The toiletries produced by their company are still being used by people in later generations.

Then, turning to the end, Wen Qin saw several addresses with nothing written on them.

Wen Qin thought about it for a long time and finally realized that it might be the black market.

As for whether it is true or not, we will have to go and see it tomorrow to find out.

Wenqin was exhausted both physically and mentally after riding for several hours today. When she went downstairs with two kettles to get water, she asked the lady at the front desk if she could have a meal there.

The young lady smiled and said, "The canteen is in the back. The prices are a bit cheaper than the restaurants outside, but there aren't many choices, and you need national food coupons. If you don't have national food coupons, you can rent a small kitchen for 50 cents a day and cook it yourself. There are seasonings, but you have to bring your own vegetables and rice. Of course, you can buy them too."

Fifty cents a day was just the rent, which was very expensive. But Wenqin didn't really want to cook for herself, so she decided to just eat in the cafeteria.

After a night's rest, Wen Qin finally recovered a little and decisively went to the fertilizer factory first.

The result can be imagined.

With spring ploughing approaching, people who wanted to buy fertilizers lined up around the factory. Wen Qin, a newcomer with no connections, couldn't even get through the gate.

Then I went to a few more and the results were similar.

It's a seller's market now. Factories don't need to run around the country to sell their products. Buyers from all over the country come to them to beg for the products. Moreover, Wenqin only has the demand of one production team. It's considered a good attitude of them to send you out politely.

But Wen Qin didn't care, she just needed an excuse.

Transportation was inconvenient at that time, and we had to rely on buses to go back and forth. After a round, it was almost dark.

Wenqin had two big meat buns for breakfast in the cafeteria at the back, and by the time she came back, she was already exhausted.

I ordered a bowl of pork chop noodles for 50 cents, which was indeed cheaper than outside.

Wen Qin was about to leave after eating when she was stopped by a woman holding a child.

Wen Qin thought she needed some help, so she stopped politely. Then the woman said, "Sister, can you give me a bowl of the noodles you just had?"

Wen Qin was stunned for a moment: "Big sister, don't you know how to order food? Just go to that window and ask for a bowl of pork chop noodles."

The woman said in a coy manner: "It's like this, sister, I brought my child out to find my man. The prices here are too expensive and I can't afford the meat. I see that you are alone and eat well, so can you treat me to a meal?"

Wen Qin took a step back: "Well, sister, we don't know each other, right?"

Wen Qin's step back was a bit too big, and many people eating in the cafeteria looked over here.

The woman's expression suddenly changed: "How can you be so selfish! You eat and drink well here, but you don't even frown when you eat a bowl of noodles worth 50 cents. But when I ask you to order something delicious for your child, you won't do it?"

Wen Qin knew that she was being blackmailed, so she crossed her arms and sneered, "Why should I buy you food?"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across the woman's eyes, and she suddenly opened her voice and shouted, "Everyone, please judge for yourself. We came out to look for my husband, and my mother-in-law gave all the money to my daughter. That was all the money my husband earned from working hard outside. But my sister-in-law took the money and refused to spend it on me after she came out. Not only did she not want to buy food for the child, she was even unwilling to do so. My life is so miserable, please help me, comrades!"

I have to say that people at this time are not only sincere, but also enthusiastic.

Several people gathered around and began to persuade Wen Qin.

"That's where you're wrong, little girl. Although it's nothing for you to spend your brother's money, you can't not give it to your sister-in-law."

"Yes, and besides, the child is innocent. If you don't give the money to your sister-in-law, you can always give it to the child."

"No, when we're out, it's my sister-in-law who's in charge of the money, right?"

Seeing the smug look in the woman's eyes, Wen Qin suddenly felt amused: "You want to be my sister-in-law? With your appearance, are you worthy?"

The woman immediately lowered her head and began to cry: "I know my family is poor, and you always think that I am not worthy of your brother, but I have been with your brother through all the hardships...嘤嘤嘤"

Wen Qin was really angry and laughed: "You cry, you keep crying. Aren't you my sister-in-law? Do you know my name?"

"Wenxin, please stop making trouble." The woman acted helpless.

Wen Qin was stunned for a moment, then she laughed so hard that tears came out.

She pointed at the eldest sister who said that her sister-in-law should be in charge of the money and said, "Elder sister, can you read?"

The elder sister had probably been bullied by her sister-in-law at home. She looked at Wen Qin with some disgust. When she was asked this question, she was stunned for a moment: "I graduated from high school."

After saying that, she added: "Little girl, why should women make things difficult for other women? When you get married, you will understand the difficulties your sister-in-law faces."

Wen Qin found it even more amusing when she heard this, and said to the woman who wanted to blackmail her for money: "Why? Are you unhappy with me and want to marry me off as soon as possible?"

The woman held the child in her arms and acted weak: "Don't you look down on the men I introduced to you? You think they are just dirt-legged people."

Wen Qin applauded: "I hope that when you threw dirty water on me, you thought about what would happen after being exposed!"
