After breakfast the next day, Brother Lin followed a group of friends into the mountains again. This time, Lin Sheng did not go. She planned to disguise herself and go to the legendary black market to see for herself.

Because Lin Sheng is rather stingy, she is reluctant to throw away anything that has been stored in her space, resulting in a bunch of messy and useless groceries in her space. She had previously placed them in the underground warehouse she had dug. Unexpectedly, they would come in handy when she returned home this time.

I went in and found a men's wig to put on, then drew my eyebrows thicker and darkened the exposed skin, and then wrapped my chest.

Finally, he changed into a gray long-sleeved shirt and wide-leg pants, and put on Liberation shoes. He stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself. He looked like a handsome boy of 14,5 or years old.

She was afraid that she would be seen by others and cause unnecessary trouble, so she ran to the back of the house and climbed over the wall.

Lin Sheng had asked Song Haoran about the exact location of the black market yesterday. He heard that they would move to a new location every once in a while, and the code would change every three days.

Because the location was relatively remote, she took various shortcuts and still took more than half an hour to arrive.

As soon as she saw the sturdy man guarding the door, she knew she had found the right place.

The sturdy man glanced at her and asked in a low voice, "Secret code."

Lin Sheng also deliberately made her voice a little deeper: "Brother Tie is 2.8 meters tall today." When she heard this code yesterday, she almost burst out laughing. How much resentment does this show about her height.

The big man nodded with satisfaction: "Five cents."

Lin Sheng obediently handed over the 5-cent admission fee.

She regretted it as soon as she entered. She had thought that it was just like the morning and evening markets in later generations, with endless food and drinks. She didn't expect that there were only a few stalls there, but there were quite a few people buying things.

But this is also a good thing, which means that demand exceeds supply?

Especially the stall selling steamed buns, there was a long queue. After thinking about it, she walked over to join in the fun.

Although she would secretly prepare a snack in her space after meals at home, she felt very uncomfortable seeing her family only having to eat rough whole-grain cakes.

The line for buying steamed buns wasn't long, and soon it was Lin Sheng's turn.

The man selling steamed buns was a fair-skinned young man: "Little brother, white flour steamed buns are 8 cents each, and corn flour and white flour steamed buns are 4 cents. How many do you want?"

Lin Sheng was still a little confused. She was only focused on buying steamed buns and hadn't decided how many to buy.

The young man saw her in a daze and thought she thought it was too expensive, so he didn't look annoyed, but smiled and said:

"Little brother, it seems that this is your first time in the black market, right? Because we don't need tickets for the things here, the prices are twice as expensive as those outside,"

As he spoke, he also lifted the white cloth covering it and showed it to Lin Sheng: "Look, the buns we make are a lot bigger than those sold outside. Our customers are all repeat customers."

"Oh, oh," Lin Sheng nodded repeatedly. How could she know how much the steamed buns sold outside, and she had never bought any before: "Then how many are left in your basket? Count them and give them all to me."

Oh, the guy was shocked. He thought the kid couldn't afford it and was hesitant, but now he's buying it all for him?

He saw that the kid didn't seem to be joking, and when he looked behind him, he saw that there was no one in line, so he quickly lowered his head and started counting:

"There are 21 white flour ones left, and 16 mixed ones, totaling 2 yuan. The white flour one is a little small, so give it to me for 3 yuan."

Lin Sheng had not yet spent the money from selling pheasants and rabbits, so he used it to pay the bill.

The young man collected the money, put the buns in the cloth bag she took out, and tidied his basket. Then he pushed his bicycle and said cheerfully, "Come back after you've eaten."

Lin Sheng raised his hand and put the steamed buns into the basket on his back, which was actually the space, and continued to move forward.

I met a few people selling cakes one after another. It seemed that the quantities were not large, and the sellers were standing there with a small basket.

She also bought some as she did in the past. It didn't look as exquisite as those in later generations, and she didn't know how it tasted.

She thought about her own jam again. What should she put it in? Glass jars or ceramic jars? Well, let Song Haoran worry about it. After all, the two of them had agreed yesterday that she would only be responsible for making it, and it would be up to him to sell it. In the end, the profits would be split 30% and 70%.

After walking around for a long time and buying only finished products, Lin Sheng felt mostly disappointed as there was not much to see.

It is estimated that the good stuff or the large quantity have been taken away by Tie Ge, the leader of the black market. He does not value these scattered things, so he has to set up stalls in the market.

When she got home, it was almost time for dinner. If she was going to have steamed buns for lunch, she would make some spicy shredded cabbage. This was one of the few vegetarian dishes she could eat without meat.

Lin Sheng’s cooking skills were average, but she was willing to use oil and seasonings. There was only salt and soybean paste at home, so everything tasted the same. All the seasonings in her space were put to good use.

The big pot of fried cabbage covered with red oil and spicy flavor really made the runny-nosed kid next door cry.

She immediately took out a large bowl of rice from the space and ate it until she was half full, listening to the crying of the child and the sound of his grandmother spanking him.

When the Lin family came back, they saw the little girl squatting beside the stove, holding a steamed bun in one hand and chopsticks in the other, stuffing them into her mouth with all her might.

Sister Lin was so angry that she laughed: "Are you so hungry that you don't even put the table aside!"

Lin Sheng stuffed the last bite of the steamed bun into his mouth and patted his stomach contentedly: "I went to the black market for a stroll this morning, and I'm really hungry."

When the other members of the Lin family set the table and served the dishes, they ate it with steamed buns and were also amazed by how delicious it was.

They all like to eat things with strong flavors, but unfortunately, apart from salty flavors, they rarely get to taste other flavors.

They had tasted spicy food several times before, but this was the first time they had tasted such a spicy taste.

Lin Sheng was afraid that they would not be used to the dish because it was his first time, so he used very little food. Even so, the family members ate it with great delight, and the steamed buns were consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It was not until the meal was over that Lin's mother asked, "Shengsheng, have you spent all the money you made from selling wild animals last time?"

After buying so many steamed buns, cabbage and seasonings, she glanced at the several bags of snacks on the windowsill. This girl must have spent all her money before coming back.

The cabbage and seasonings were taken from the space without spending any money. Lin Sheng still had some left, but since the space couldn't be exposed, she could only nod obediently: "Yes, it's all spent. I bought a lot of vegetables this time."

As soon as she came in, she put a lot of vegetables and a few pork ribs in the kitchen. A few days later, when the family gets their salary at the beginning of the month, they will have meat coupons, and then they can eat meat continuously. It's a wonderful thought.
