Siheyuan: It’s so nice to be Lao Liu

Sure enough, when Yan Jiefang arrived at the courtyard where the supplies were stored, he saw He Yuzhu already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

He was squatting on the stone steps at the door, waving his hands to shoo away mosquitoes. It was obvious that he had been there for quite some time.

When He Yuzhu saw Yan Jiefang coming, he did not shout or complain, but just looked at him with resentment.

Yan Jiefang ignored He Yuzhu who was standing beside him, opened the door, entered the courtyard, and just like yesterday, took out two snakeskin bags.

He Yuzhu also took one of them swiftly, weighed it in his hand, and found it was the same weight as yesterday, so he couldn't help but smile with pride.

The same process as yesterday, after disguising themselves, the two entered the black market.

It was still the same place. When the two men put down the pork, people immediately surrounded them.

"Boss, give me two dollars. This is thirteen dollars."

"Brother, here are twenty-six dollars. Give me four pieces of pork."

"..."

Yan Jiefang and He Yuzhu were stunned by the scene before them. They didn't even offer a price. They all knew that these people were here just waiting for them to set up their stalls!

Four hundred kilograms of pork were sold out in just ten minutes. Yan Jiefang began to wonder if it was because the pork was produced in his own space and was better than ordinary pork, so it attracted repeat customers to buy it. However, because he often drank space water, he could not feel the benefits of pork when he ate it.

Suddenly, I remembered that He Yuzhu next to me didn't drink the space water. He took a piece of pork back yesterday. So, I turned to look at He Yuzhu and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhuzi, how does the piece of pork you took back yesterday taste?"

Hearing Yan Jiefang's words, He Yuzhu paused for a moment, as if savoring the taste, licked his lips, and replied, "It's delicious. The braised pork made with that piece of pork is the best braised pork I've ever had in my life. I woke up feeling refreshed this morning, maybe it's because of the braised pork."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Yan Jiefang had some guesses in his mind. He knew that it was because the pigs he raised grew in space, so the pork had some extraordinary effects.

Just when the two men finished selling the pork and were about to leave, two strong men came over.

Walking like the wind, standing like a pine tree, the two men faintly exuded the murderous aura of soldiers. Yan Jiefang couldn't help but narrow his eyes, secretly guessing the purpose of the two men.

When Yan Jiefang saw the two people approaching, he stopped talking to He Yuzhu and became alert.

Watch Yan Jiefang's actions. After yesterday's incident, He Yuzhu realized the dangers of the black market and took preventive measures.

The shorter of the two sturdy men said, "Brother, we have no ill intentions."

"I'm the person in charge of this black market. I also tasted the pork you sold yesterday. The quality is quite good. I just want to ask if you can sell it directly to us. The price is negotiable. How about you sell it here for 1.3 yuan and I'll give you 1.4 yuan?"

"Ok?"

Yan Jiefang couldn't help but ask in confusion: "If I sell it to you for 1.4 yuan, you will lose money. How are you going to sell it?"

Maybe it was because the visitor wanted to ask Yan Jiefang for something, or maybe it was for other reasons, the visitor patiently explained: "We have a backer here too, and we have to give gifts when we get good things. The pork you sell is very good, so we want to buy it."

"You should know the rules here. We don't ask about the source of your goods or your background. We only pay for the goods and it's a matter of business. It's good for you too. As long as you sell the goods to us, you can avoid some risks and won't be in danger of being robbed. You can sleep comfortably at home at night without having to work hard at night."

After hearing what the visitor said, he found it was exactly what he wanted.

Selling pork on the black market was not only for He Yuzhu to make some money, but also to find a way to get space supplies.

When selling goods to large factories such as steel mills, you don't have to take any risks, but you can only exchange them for some banknotes and various bills, but not hard currency such as gold.

As long as you establish a connection with the black market, the goods in your space can be exchanged for gold continuously.

Yan Jiefang pretended to ponder for a while, then looked up at the person in charge of the black market and said, "Okay, it doesn't matter who you sell it to, but I have one condition. I want to pay with yellow croaker."

The visitor did not hesitate and agreed directly: "No problem."

Then he said, "How much meat can you provide me every day? If you have other goods to sell, you can come to me directly. I will definitely give you a suitable price."

The person in charge of the black market was just saying it as a polite remark and had no expectations that Yan Jiefang could provide other goods.

But it was just his casual mention that prompted Yan Jiefang to take up the topic.

"I can provide 400 kilograms of pork every day, no more. In addition, I can provide 200,000 kilograms of flour a month. Will you accept it?"

"We'll take whatever you have."

The person in charge of the black market did not expect that there would be an unexpected surprise. He thought it was just a casual mention, but he did not expect it to be true. The food on the market is still in short supply, and it is still a relationship of supply exceeding demand. No matter how much food there is, not to mention flour, even those coarse grains are not worried about selling. As long as there is stock, it can be sold quickly.

"How to trade?" Yan Jiefang asked in a low voice.

Speaking of transactions, the visitor became cautious. After looking around, he said, "If the quantity is small and can be packed in a snakeskin bag, you can deliver it directly to the repair shop at No. 36 Qianmen Street. If the quantity is large, just tell the owner of the repair shop where to put the goods, and they will definitely move it away at night. The money and goods will be settled on the spot."

Qianmen Street was not far from his courtyard, and it would not take He Yuzhu long to make a trip there every day, so Yan Jiefang agreed.

During their conversation, Yan Jiefang did not avoid He Yuzhu at all. He let him participate in his speculation throughout the whole process, allowing him to see the market and broaden his horizons. After all, this was a big business worth tens of thousands of dollars.

After the agreement was reached, the two strong men said goodbye and left.

Then He Yuzhu asked nervously: "Jiefang, do you not need me to help you sell meat in the future?"

He Yuzhu was also worried because someone had already purchased Yan Jiefang's pork directly and did not need his help. That would mean that his daily income of several hundred dollars would be gone.

Yan Jiefang roughly guessed what He Yuzhu was thinking from his anxious expression, and said with a smile: "In the future, you can help me deliver the meat to the car repair shop on Qianmen Street. I will still give you 30 cents per pound. I won't go, you can bring the money back to me."

Hearing Yan Jiefang's words, He Yuzhu's heart, which had been tense to the point of his throat, calmed down again, and he smiled and assured: "Jiefang, don't worry, I will definitely make it beautiful for you, so you don't have to worry."
