Become a burden in a period novel

Chapter 56 Black Market

The male educated youth naturally did not tell the female educated youth about their connections. After all, it was risky for these people to do business privately.

It’s not that they don’t trust the female educated youth, but even if they told them, they didn’t have much money or tickets to come and spend money.

Those who are able to do business all have skills and connections, and what they look for is a housewife who is particularly good at cooking.

Someone in their family works in the meat processing factory, so there is no shortage of meat at home. You don't need meat or grain coupons to eat here, but the price is more expensive than in state-owned restaurants.

They found this place by accident, but this family only serves one table a day at most, and reservations must be made in advance.

Hosting a table is mainly for safety, while making reservations in advance is because the ingredients need to be prepared in advance.

They sent someone to bring the news a few days ago, and they just happened to come over for dinner today.

I knocked on the door according to the agreed upon code and it opened from the inside.

"Cousin, we're here to see you." The male educated youth said enthusiastically.

"Why are you here at this hour?" the woman inside the door asked in a loud voice, with concern in her tone, "How are your father and the others?"

"Everything is fine. The autumn harvest has just ended, and we came here to pay the grain tax. My father asked us to come and see you." The male educated youth said enthusiastically, as if they were really coming to visit relatives, especially since they were carrying things in their hands.

"Come in, come in. I'll pour you some water." The woman moved aside to make way for them.

The neighbors nearby looked over here curiously, but seeing that their clothes were old and not very clean, they went back home without interest.

After Dong Shaofang bought some things, she found that she had been separated from the main group of educated youth.

She was not very familiar with the roads in the commune, but there were roads right under her nose, so she was not worried about losing her way.

She was walking along the commune road carrying her shopping, when she saw a man carrying a basket and walking stealthily into an alley.

The man looked around as he walked, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

Dong Shaofang was very familiar with such expressions, and she could roughly guess what was going on there. It was a pity that she had nothing, no money, or tickets, otherwise she would have wanted to go in and take a look.

After going to the countryside, she had to buy everything by herself and could not rely on her family, so she had to be frugal.

Although she didn't have much money at home before, she didn't have to worry about food and drink, and she didn't need to buy other daily necessities. Now that she lives here, she has to prepare everything by herself.

Her family didn't give her much money, and she didn't have much income in the countryside, so she had to find a way to make money to make her life better in the countryside.

Now that she knew the address of the commune's black market, she could try to make some money through this channel.

She had heard back home how much money could be made in the black market.

Dong Shaofang has a neighbor who sells things on the black market. Although his family has many people, only one person gets a salary, his family lives much better than hers.

Dong Shaofang had a very good relationship with the girl in his family, but he saw that she had a lot of good things in her hands.

However, this time, that person's family also had to go to the countryside. However, unlike Dong Shaofang's family who chose to send the girl to the countryside, his family sent the older son to the countryside, and the girl who was about the same age as her was left at home.

Her family also found her a job. Although it was only a temporary job, it made Dong Shaofang very envious.

Since they could make money from the black market, so could she.

Dong Shaofang took another look at the alley and noted down some marks at the location and the entrance of the alley.

She didn't know whether the location of the black market would change, but the people in the black market would definitely leave marks to make it easier for others to find it. As long as they found the marks, they could find the new address of the black market.

Dong Shaofang originally wanted to go somewhere else, but now she changed her mind. She found a place to sit down and observed the alley over there to confirm that this was indeed the black market.

Dong Shaofang has found the address of the black market, but Qin Wangshu still doesn't know which direction the door of the commune's black market faces.

Qin Wangshu picked up eggs from the fields. Since she hadn't dug up any bamboo to plant, she didn't keep the chickens locked up, so they ran around outside.

Qin Wangshu brought in a lot of grass seeds. Many fields were planted with grass, which grew very lush. The chickens stayed here during the day.

Because the chickens are free-range, the eggs they lay are scattered across the fields.

Qin Wangshu liked to carry a basket and pick eggs in the fields.

Although the space is large, strangely, the chickens cannot pass through the places that Qin Wangshu has not developed, so she is not afraid of the chickens running too far.

Qin Wangshu placed all these eggs in the room where time stood still. There were many things placed there, including the eggs collected during this period, as well as the grain and red dates collected.

The mulberry trees have grown up, and Qin Wangshu did not let them grow too tall. Instead, he pressed down all the branches and cut off the high branches, so the mulberries here are easy to pick.

Qin Wangshu had so many mulberries that she couldn't eat them all, so she thought about making some jam or drying them.

Qin Wangshu looked at the things prepared in the space and found that the most common things were fruits and eggs.

Most of the grain was used as seeds. Although some was harvested, it was not much. It is estimated that there will be more after this harvest.

There were still too few varieties of fruit. Although she tried her best, she still couldn't find too many. If it were modern times, she could find almost all the fruit trees by just opening the shopping app.

Qin Wangshu straightened up and looked at the chickens scattered in the fields. He really wanted to eat some!

This was real free-range chicken, it must be delicious. Unfortunately, she didn't have a kitchen knife or a pot, so she could only sigh at the sight of the chicken.

Qin Wangshu felt that she needed to find a channel as soon as possible to buy some kitchen utensils and put them in the space so that she could cook her own meals in the space.

Continuing to pick up eggs from the field, she began to think whether she should find time to go to the commune or the county town, or whether she should go to the county town again.

There are relatively few people in the commune, and everyone knows each other. It may not be safe to go there alone, so it is more convenient to go to the county town.

After putting the collected eggs back into the room, Qin Wangshu returned to the yard, poured himself a glass of water, and picked a bunch of grapes to eat.

When she had rested enough, she left the space.

"Xiao Qin, have you rested?"

As soon as I came out of the space, Aunt Luo's voice came from outside the door.

"Not yet. Is there anything I can help you with?" Qin Wangshu walked straight to the door, opened it and asked.

"I've made a set of clothes and I'm bringing it to you to try on." Aunt Luo stood at the door, holding a set of folded clothes in her hands.
