Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Chapter 39 Entering the Black Market

After everyone left, Yan Jiefang also walked into He Yuzhu's room. Although He Yuzhu didn't say much just now, Yan Jiefang could see that He Yuzhu had already walked out of the control of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu.

He had also thought about it. As the saying goes, a hero needs three helpers. Even if he had the golden finger of space, he would still have some inconvenience in doing many things. And He Yuzhu was his elder brother-in-law. He would help him make some money and try to marry a wife as soon as possible.

After cleaning up the messy house with He Yuzhu and his sister and closing the door, Yan Jiefang whispered to He Yuzhu, "Brother Zhuzi, do you want to earn some extra money?"

When He Yushui heard what Yan Jiefang said, she knew what he meant. She got up and went to the kitchen to start cooking, leaving space for the two of them to talk.

When He Yuzhu heard that Yan Jiefang had a way to make money, he became more excited, and the fatigue on his face was swept away. He said with interest: "Of course I want to, what's your way?"

"I have a way to get pork. The black market price is 1.3 yuan per pound. My purchase price is 1 yuan, and I can make 30 cents per pound. Today I got 200 pounds. Do you have the courage to go to the black market with me? I will give you 100 pounds." Yan Jiefang said.

He Yuzhu agreed without even thinking about it, and said, "No problem, I'll go with you today to earn some extra money to clean up the house, so I can get married and live with a wife. It's all because of that bastard Xu Damao. I'm still getting paid as an apprentice, just over ten yuan a month."

Thinking of the reason why He Yuzhu was punished, Yan Jiefang couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Although He Yuzhu was exposed by Xu Damao, he also had a large part of the credit. He secretly said in his heart: "I'm sorry, Brother Zhuzi!!"

Yan Jiefang changed the subject and said, "Then I'll go back first. I'll call you after dinner."

Yan Jiefang walked to the kitchen, winked at He Yushui, and deliberately said, "Yushui, I forgot to tell you that your high school classmate asked you to go find her tonight, so I told you a message."

He Yushui rolled her eyes at him, knowing what he meant. He wanted her to sleep in Lou Xiao'e's courtyard at night.

However, she did not refuse, and said to her silly brother with understanding: "Brother, I will not sleep at home tonight. I will go to my classmate's place later."

He Yuzhu did not notice the two people's little thoughts. When He Yushui was in school, he often stayed at his classmates' homes. So he did not doubt what He Yushui said and nodded to show that he understood.

After dinner, Yan Jiefang brought He Yuzhu to the three-in-one courtyard near Zhengyang Gate. He motioned He Yuzhu to watch at the door, and took out the key and entered the courtyard. He took out the wild boar meat that he had prepared in advance, and each piece was cut into five catties. He evenly divided it into two snakeskin bags, each bag containing twenty pieces of wild boar meat.

Thanks to the support of the system, Yan Jiefang easily carried out two hundred kilograms of pork.

He handed one of the bags to He Yuzhu, and the two walked towards the black market in silence.

When they were almost at the black market, the two found an alley and walked into it, took out the costumes they had prepared in advance, and disguised themselves.

When they arrived at the entrance of the black market, they each paid a dime entrance fee and were let in.

Because they were unfamiliar with the situation, the two had no plans to walk around for longer. They just followed the example of other stall owners and squatted down in one place.

Put the bag of meat down, take out a piece of meat and place it in front of the bag.

As soon as the pork was placed in front of Yan Jiefang and the other man, it attracted everyone's attention.

Although the situation now is not like the great famine in the past two years when food is scarce and families cannot get enough to eat, meat is in great shortage. Pork is also in short supply on the black market. As soon as it is taken out, it will be sold out. All kinds of meat are also in short supply.

"Boss, how much is this pork?" a tall and thin man with a scarf covering his face asked in a low voice.

"One pound is one dollar and three cents. Each piece weighs five pounds."

Yan Jiefang also spoke in a low voice and took out a cardboard with prices written on it, in front of the pork.

The tall and thin man shone a flashlight on the pork, checked the condition of the pork, and without even bargaining, he took out thirteen yuan and said, "Give me ten kilograms."

After Yan Jiefang took the thirteen yuan, he quickly picked up two pieces of pork and put them in the basket in front of the tall and thin man.

In just a short while, the stall was already surrounded by people.

Yan Jiefang and He Yuzhu, one collecting money and the other selling meat, cooperated with each other and soon two hundred kilograms of pork were sold.

After packing up the stall, the two men left the black market. Just after walking a few dozen meters out of the black market, Yan Jiefang felt that there were several people following him stealthily.

Out of confidence in his own skills, he did not take the person behind him seriously.

Yan Jiefang whispered to He Yuzhu: "Brother Zhuzi, there are people following us. Let's find an alley and I will take care of them."

He Yuzhu nodded and followed Yan Jiefang into an alley.

Sure enough, several people behind them followed Yan Jiefang and the other man into the alley.

Yan Jiefang, who was hiding aside and waiting, saw four people following in. Naturally, he didn't show any courtesy. He attacked with four knives as fast as lightning, and the four people were knocked unconscious directly.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He didn't expect Yan Jiefang to be so skilled. Fortunately, he controlled his temper and didn't fight with him, otherwise he would definitely make a fool of himself.

Yan Jiefang was not polite to them. He searched the pockets of all four people and found a total of three dollars and forty cents.

Yan Jiefang cursed in a low voice: "What poor fellows! The four of us only have three dollars and forty cents on our bodies. How dare you come out for a stroll?"

He put the three yuan and forty cents into his pocket with a clear conscience, and collected the iron pipes and wooden sticks that the few people brought with them. He placed the few people in the middle of the road, did not manage them, and walked towards the courtyard, calling He Yuzhu.

He knew that the black market was chaotic and that gangs robbing each other often occurred, but he didn't expect to be targeted the first time he came to sell things.

However, he was mentally prepared and remained vigilant at all times.

He Yuzhu also looked at Yan Jiefang nervously. He didn't expect to be targeted the first time he followed Yan Jiefang out. He asked nervously, "Jiefang, who are they? Will it be okay if we beat them up?"

Yan Jiefang also noticed He Yuzhu's nervousness and explained, "These guys are probably gangsters who saw that we made a lot of money and wanted to rob us. We are disguised, so even if they kill them, they won't be able to trace us, so it's okay."
