Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Under Luo Linlin's raised-pitched questioning, Li Aihua felt inexplicably guilty, but soon became self-righteous. She wanted to say a few more words to her future son-in-law, but she hadn't seen him at all today, right?

Luo Linlin was very angry with her mother who always lived in her own world, but Tan Yuan was very successful.

The current tofu factory is not as good as those big factories, but its reputation is very famous. Everyone in the whole county knows about the tofu factory.

When she wanted to discuss business at the glass factory, the security guard at the door didn't try to stop her but instead took the initiative to lead the way.

Not only the Security Department, but even the Sales Department responsible for sales did not have any difficulty and directly approved 100 samples for Tan Yuan.

There were a hundred samples, but she didn't have to use her mouth. This was really a pleasant surprise, and Tan Yuan was very happy.

"I'll try it when I get back. If it works, we'll sign the contract."

There are no different styles of glass jars these days, they are all of the same design. How could Tan Yuan, who rides a bicycle, carry so many glass jars? She would have to wait for a tractor to come and pull them away.

After coming out of the glass factory, Tan Yuan still felt light-headed and light-footed. It was so smooth. It was not as smooth as it was when she went to the printing factory.

Things went so smoothly and it was still early, so I had to hurry and do the other important thing I had come here for today.

She came to the glass factory for the brigade and to do the factory's business, but she also had her own personal matters.

She planned to go to the black market. Tan Yuan had never been to the black market in Changyun County, either in her previous life or in this life.

I haven't been to Changyun County, but I have been to other places. It's obvious where there are black markets. There are always people watching. You can find them if you look around.

The whole country is under a planned economy, and everything has to go according to plan, including daily necessities and food.

What to do if there is not enough food? The only option is to go to the black market and buy at a high price. The black market is a product of the times. Tan Yuan does not think there is anything wrong with going to the black market, nor does she think that selling things on the black market is a sin that should be criticized.

If it is a dual-income family and the family can have enough food to eat, who would be willing to take the risk of going to the black market?

However, Tan Yuan now has a tofu factory to manage in Huaiyin Brigade. Even if she has planned to transfer most of the things to Secretary Li, she still lives under the eyes of others, and it is impossible for her to sell things on the black market.

Being the nominal director of the brigade's dried tofu factory, and actually the deputy director, does come with additional benefits. You don't have to keep track of work points like ordinary members, and you still get a salary every month.

Fifty yuan a month is nothing for the director of a large factory in the city, but it is quite a lot for the brigade.

However, the tofu factory is currently building a factory building and has purchased new machines. It will continue to purchase machines in the future. There is no spare money in the account, and Tan Yuan's salary has been converted into IOUs.

Her monthly income now comes solely from government subsidies, which are sent to her every month without fail. She has saved a little over the past few months, and her money is growing at a turtle's pace.

She had been taking her time, thinking it wouldn't be too late to earn money slowly after she found a way to return to the city. But for some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart, driving her to move quickly.

Before the reform and opening up, the fastest way to make quick money was smuggling. But smuggling was not that simple. It required building up a territory, and connections were also essential.

Unfortunately, Tan Yuan has neither of these two qualities, so the only thing she can consider is the black market.

Guan Jianguo used to be in the black market. Tan Yuan was sure of her guess. Since Guan Jianguo could be in the black market, what was wrong with her selling small things in the black market?

Selling things is not as easy as imagined, but it is not difficult at all for the experienced Tan Yuan. However, what to sell is a problem.

I didn't know what to sell, so I chose to go to the black market. Changyun County is not big, but not small either. However, when Tan Yuan rides a bicycle, her speed is much faster than walking.

The black market couldn't be on the main street, so she searched through the hidden little streets and finally found it.

The best-selling item is of course food, followed by daily necessities, and then cloth and cotton are also good. I haven't seen any big items like bicycles...

Tan Yuan concluded in her mind that electronic products are scarce these days and are also expensive, and Tan Yuan cannot get them, so this category can be directly excluded.

Cloth and cotton?

Tan Yuan herself is short of this thing, so how could she have any extra to sell on the black market? This possibility can also be ruled out.

As for daily necessities, towels, washbasins, toothpaste and toothbrushes, these things were easy to sell, but Tan Yuan couldn't get them either...

Then we can only focus on food.

Many people in the black market sell vegetables on shoulder poles. A pound of fresh vegetables costs a few cents, and even if they are all sold, they will not make much money. Moreover, Tan Yuan does not have land to grow vegetables, and even if she does, she does not plan to do this business.

If this had happened after the reform and opening up, I might have been able to set up a vegetable stall, but as for now, forget it.

"Vegetables are not good, grains are even worse, fish?"

After a long wander around the black market, Tan Yuan wondered what she could do. There was no fish in Huaiyin Brigade, but there were plenty in Shuwaizi Brigade. Why not try to find a partner in Shuwaizi Brigade and buy fish together?

All she could think about was the big money-making business, and she didn't notice that she had been targeted.

A young female comrade came to the black market and didn't buy anything. She just looked around. Basically, she asked everyone who was carrying a shoulder pole or a basket. This was enough reason to attract other people's attention.

The two men in charge of guarding the black market exchanged glances, and one of them winked at his own men guarding the alley...

"Sister, why are you here? Are you here to see me?"

A boy's voice was heard, interrupting Tan Yuan's thoughts. It was not accurate to say it was a boy's voice. To be more precise, it was a duck's voice.

Tan Yuan looked up and saw a boy standing in front of her. He was in his teens and looked familiar. He called her "sister" and was very sweet-mouthed.

In a place like the black market, where you are an unfamiliar person and a lesbian, the other party is sweet-talking and the boy is someone you don't even know. These layers of buffs are stacked up so completely that it is hard for Tan Yuan not to be alarmed.

——Did you encounter human traffickers?

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Are you angry? I'm going home with you right now!"

As he was about to reach out to hold her arm, Tan Yuan subconsciously took a step back. She was about to shout for help when the boy's hoarse voice rang in her ears.

"Don't scream, you're being watched."
