Siheyuan: Joined the Intelligence Department, my father is a national level

Chapter 43: Encountering a Deaf Old Lady at the Black Market

"Please rest assured, we will definitely fulfill our mission!"

Li Youquan returned the military salute in a very formal manner.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Youquan didn't stay any longer.

Afterwards, he left the Intelligence Department under the escort of Wu Chuanshui and the guards.

On the way back, Li Youquan began to think about his next move.

He will definitely have to go back to Yanshan in the next two days.

After all, we've been busy all day today and set up so many traps over there. It would be a waste if we just left them there.

Who knows, it might give the enemy spies an advantage and there is also the possibility of alerting the enemy.

"To deal with enemy spies, we must be fully prepared."

"If you rush over there without any preparation, it's basically the same as committing suicide."

"But before that, let's make more money!"

Li Youquan thought about it, turned around and walked towards an empty place on the corner of the street, and with a thought, he put his consciousness into the space.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The moment you enter the breeding space.

A large group of wild rabbits suddenly came into view.

"Fuck, so many?"

Li Youquan couldn't help but swear.

Although I know the reproductive capacity of rabbits and the added value of breeding space.

But he never expected that the pair of hares he had put in earlier would be so efficient.

With the help of the breeding space, an army of rabbits was born in a short period of time.

Li Youquan counted them carefully and found exactly one hundred and fifty-six.

Look at the fish pond in the breeding space, wow!

Excluding the small fish, there were fifty-six large grass carps weighing more than ten kilograms.

At this rate, his breeding space will be filled with these rabbits in less than a week!

Where will there be room for other things by then?

"No, we have to deal with these things quickly."

"If the space is really filled up, that would be disastrous!"

In the breeding space, Li Youquan walked briskly.

Soon, more than twenty rabbits were tied up with hemp ropes, and more than a dozen big fish were caught from the pond.

Then, he used the large backpack that had been placed in the space earlier to throw the fish and rabbits into it and returned to reality.

While there is still some time.

Soon we arrived at the pigeon market in Sijiu City.

At this time, in the darkness.

Although it was crowded, it was not as noisy as the Dongdan and Chaoyang markets.

Pigeon market, also known as the black market.

It is only open at night.

Most of the common things in the market are sold here.

And beneath this layer of packaging, some uncommon things are also surging undercurrents.

Even some contraband can be found here.

Like most people who go to the black market, Li Youquan also took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and wrapped it around his face, leaving only his eyes exposed.

"Brother, my cigarettes are really good stuff!"

"You can't buy this outside! Do you want to try it?"

In the darkness.

A man gently nudged Li Youquan with his arm.

Seeing this, Li Youquan waved his hand, declined his kindness, and continued walking forward.

Like the man just now, most people in the black market spoke in low voices.

Even the kerosene lamps or flashlights used for lighting were covered with a thin layer of red cloth to weaken the diffusion range of the light.

Li Youquan walked all the way to the depths of Pigeon City and finally found an open space.

So he stepped forward and took out the fish and rabbits from the basket and stacked them on the ground in rows.

Afterwards, he spent money to buy a scale from the stall next door to use for weighing.

"Brother, is this your first time here? You have to pay a stall fee to sell things!"

"50 cents a person, you have to pay to sell it here, please cooperate!"

As soon as I set up the stall, several tall, strong and rough men came around one after another.

In addition to their masks showing their eyes, they also had a red cloth strip tied around their right arms. They were obviously the managers of this market.

Just like other markets in Beijing.

The Pigeon City also has its own rules.

These so-called "managers" are actually the initiators of the black market.

They are responsible for maintaining order in the black market and charging some fees from stall owners, which is understandable.

Seeing that these people were quite polite, Li Youquan took out some Mao banknotes from his pocket and handed them over.

After collecting the money, the rough men didn't hesitate and turned around and disappeared into the crowd in the market.

After they left, many customers came to Li Youquan's stall one after another.

Wild rabbits are not common in the city, so even if they are sold on the black market, there are still many people willing to buy them.

Moreover, with the bonus of breeding space, Li Youquan doesn’t have to worry about subsequent supply issues at all.

So they made small profits but quick turnover, selling rabbits and grass carp at a price that was one cent cheaper than the market price.

In less than half an hour, all the fish rabbits on hand had been sold out.

Li Youquan counted the items and found that he had already earned 40 yuan. After selling all the rest, he would have about 45 yuan left.

However, Li Youquan didn't want to stop there.

Afterwards, he found an empty corner, took out another batch of rabbits and put them up for sale.

"Young man, how much do you sell this hare for?"

"And how much is the grass carp per pound?"

Just at this time.

An old voice suddenly came into Li Youquan's ears.

When Li Youquan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Why does this voice sound so familiar?!

Li Youquan raised his head and saw an old lady with gray hair and a black cloth covering her face, looking at him with a smile.

"Deaf old lady!?"

Li Youquan was shocked.

With that look and that voice, who else could it be but a deaf old lady?

What was she doing in the black market so late at night?

With the question in his mind, Li Youquan lowered his voice and said in a different tone: "My fish and rabbits are 1 cent cheaper than the market price. How much do you want?"

At this time, the deaf old lady obviously did not recognize Li Youquan.

He muttered, "It's only a dime cheaper if I buy it on the black market? No way!"

"Hey, if I buy all of your things, can you give me a lower price?"

Li Youquan lowered his voice and answered, "If you are sincere in selling it, it's not impossible to sell it at a lower price. How about giving you an extra 5 cents per pound?"

"Hey, it's only five cents off? I think it should be at least fifteen cents! OK?"

"Don't worry, I really want to buy it!"

The deaf old lady waved her hands, looking as if she was reluctant to accept the offer.

Seeing this, Li Youquan didn't fall for it: "Forget it, if you don't want to buy it, there are plenty of people who will!"

"My hares and fish weren't blown here by the wind, so they can't be sold at such a low price even if they are sold at a low price!"

"Besides, look around the market, which store has as many wild animals as I do? If you go to other stores, you won't be able to buy so many!"

Hearing this, the deaf old lady sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

Then he pulled a crumpled purse from his pocket and took out some banknotes.

"You, young man, really don't know how to do business!"

"Okay, okay, that's the price! I'll come here more often in the future. If I see you again, don't change your mind!"

"Got it!"

"Let me settle the accounts for you!"

Take the money.

Li Youquan counted the hares and grass carps and said, "The total is forty yuan and one cent. I'll give you a smaller amount. Take forty yuan!"

The deaf old lady didn't waste any time and directly counted the money and handed it to Li Youquan.

Li Youquan quickly accepted the money and asked casually, "Old man, are you here alone? If you were here alone, you wouldn't be able to take these things!"

"This pile of wild rabbits and grass carps is not light in weight! But if you ask me, you are really generous. You bought so much game as a New Year's gift at the end of the year."

"Hey! If you need to deliver something, you have to pay me extra money for my hard work! I don't want more, one cent per mile within the city is enough, if you go out of the city, it will be 2 cents!"

The deaf old lady laughed hoarsely: "Haha, you are really obsessed with money!"

"One cent for one mile? I can't afford such expensive things! Besides, I won't leave the city!"

"Okay, someone will come here to find me later, and then I'll let them take it away!"
