Chen Yuan slept very soundly last night, and when he woke up in the morning he felt like he had endless energy.

He prepared breakfast directly, and after eating, he put it in the pot to keep it warm so that Sun Weiwei and Yiyi could eat it when they woke up.

Hu Zi arrived at the cave on time. The two of them took their things and went to the county town together.

When we set out from Chenjia Village, snowflakes were still floating in the sky. When we were halfway there and it was just getting light, the snow stopped.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Chen Yuan warned, "When we get there, listen and watch more, and talk less. If we find anything wrong, we'll split up and run."

After hearing this, Hu Zi was so nervous that his heart was in his throat.

Seeing Hu Zi's nervousness, Chen Yuan comforted him, "Don't be so nervous. This black market is where many people make their livings. If anyone dares to report it, there will be people to take care of it without us having to do anything."

"It's just that you should be prepared for the worst. If something special does happen, you have to be able to deal with it."

"That's how it is these days. The brave die of overeating, while the timid die of starvation."

Hu Zi finally felt relieved and replied, "Brother Yuan, don't worry, I will definitely not back down!"

As the two were talking, they arrived at the county town in a flash.

Chen Yuan took Hu Zi to the black market with ease, found a corner and waited quietly for customers to come.

Soon, a man in black walked up to Chen Yuan and his friends' stall.

“Is this a bear paw?”

Chen Yuan instantly became alert, "Yes."

The man in black showed a look of delight, "A whole one?"

Chen Yuan nodded. Seeing that the other party really wanted to buy it, he said, "I just caught it. I kept everything except the meat."

The man in black's heart was pounding with joy.

He was going to participate in a chef competition, and was worried that his dishes were not good enough, so he wanted to try his luck in the black market. Unexpectedly, he actually found one!

"I want all of these. How much is it?"

Chen Yuan thought about it and stretched out two fingers.

The man in black opposite hesitated a little.

Chen Yuan knew that the other party wanted to buy it very much, so he added fuel to the fire, "You know, this thing is exchanged for life, it's not common."

"This thing is rare and valuable. If you miss it, someone else will buy it and you won't be able to buy it again for a while."

After saying that, Chen Yuan looked at the man in black with pretended regret.

The black man felt that every word Chen Yuan said touched his heart.

"I don't have that much money on me right now. Wait for me, I'll go back and get the money right away!"

He kept looking back and said worriedly, "Please keep it for me!"

Chen Yuan nodded, agreeing to the man in black.

Hu Zi watched Chen Yuan's operation from the side and almost dropped his jaw in shock.

After the man in black walked away, he asked, "Brother Yuan, did we earn two dollars so easily?"

Chen Yuan slapped Hu Zi on the back and said with a smile, "Two dollars?"

Hu Zi was completely confused and looked puzzled.

"Could it be twenty?"

Chen Yuan shook his head and said in a low voice, "Two hundred!"

Hu Zi almost screamed out loud, but thinking of what Chen Yuan had said before he came, he quickly covered his mouth.

He had never seen so much money in his life!

This is simply a sky-high price!

Chen Yuan felt that the price he offered was not low, but who could blame this thing for being so precious?

This is not sold to ordinary people, so naturally there is no need to worry about the high price.

There are rich people in every era. When ordinary people are still pursuing food and clothing, the rich are already pursuing quality.

Soon, the man in black hurried back and handed Chen Yuan a small cloth bag.

Chen Yuan turned his back, counted the items, and put them directly into his coat pocket.

He turned around and said with a smile, "There are pheasants and rabbits in this snakeskin bag. They are all given to you."

The man in black couldn't stop smiling, as if he had gotten a huge bargain.

He took out the sack he brought with him and stuffed the things into it neatly.

"Excuse me, when will you all arrive?"

Chen Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "I'll just go with the flow before the New Year. I'll come back every few days after the New Year."

The man in black nodded and left quickly with the things, fearing that if he walked too slowly, Chen Yuan would regret it.

Chen Yuan picked up the backpack on the ground, and Hu Zi reached out and took the backpack and put it on his back.

"Let me do it, Brother Yuan!"

Chen Yuan is now his living God of Wealth. He has never seen anyone as powerful as Chen Yuan!

Chen Yuan smiled and didn't argue with Hu Zi.

The two found a deserted alley and prepared to divide the money.

Chen Yuan took out eighty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Hu Zi.

Hu Zi didn't take the money, but said seriously: "Brother Yuan, I didn't do anything, and the way to make money is also yours. If we split it 64, you will suffer the loss. 28 will be fine!"

"If you don't agree, I won't be able to hang out with you anymore."

Chen Yuan didn't expect Hu Zi to be so determined, so he could only silently withdraw the forty yuan.

"Then take this money first. When you do more work in the future, we can split it up again."

Only after Chen Yuan said this did Hu Zi accept the money.

It might take him several years to earn these 40 yuan by working in the fields, but Chen Yuan helped him earn it easily.

It is impossible to say that he is not shocked. Hu Zi now feels like he is dreaming.

After dividing the money, Chen Yuan suggested going to the black market.

As soon as he entered the alley, he saw a vendor selling vanishing cream.

"How much is your vanishing cream?"

"This is from the Magic City. It's one dollar!"

Chen Yuan shook his head, stood up and was about to leave.

The man quickly changed his tone, "Eighty cents! It can't be any lower!"

Only then did Chen Yuan pay the money and put the vanishing cream in his pocket.

This snow cream from Shanghai is beautifully made, and the cream inside is fragrant. It is several times better than the ones sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives, so it is worth the price.

Hu Zi scratched his head. He couldn't understand why Brother Yuan didn't even blink when he paid for 80 cents.

But then, Hu Zi figured it out. Chen Yuan loves his wife!

If the wife he marries could be like Sun Weiwei, he would love her just as much!

Passing by a stall selling Fuqiang flour, Chen Yuan stopped and bought five pounds of white flour for one yuan and twenty-five cents.

Hu Zi thought that his grandmother was old and it would be good for her to eat some white flour, so he bought two pounds.

There was no wool for sale on the black market, so Chen Yuan went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

He didn't have any tickets, but many salespeople at the supply and marketing cooperative had extra tickets, which he could exchange for if he was willing to spend some money.

Chen Yuan now had money, so he bought a lot of things at a relatively high price.

Most of them are daily necessities, which are in short supply at home.

The supply and marketing cooperative has many colors of wool, and Chen Yuan chose pastel pink, army green and light yellow.

These balls of wool are enough for Sun Weiwei to knit a sweater for each of the three members of her family.

Hu Zi didn't have much to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative. He was a bachelor with few family members, so there was nothing he needed.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Yuan estimated that it was time for lunch.

"Let's go to the state-owned restaurant. Your hand is injured, so I'll treat you to a good meal to replenish it!"
