I heard the black market doesn't require receipts, so I'll have to sell like hotcakes. Who knows when the space will be able to open again? What if it never opens in my lifetime? Then I'll have no hope left.

Xin Yi, who was excitedly planning a big shopping spree, suddenly realized a problem: she didn't know where the town's black market was or how to get in; she'd heard that a password was required.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. Since the black market is still illegal, it must be located in a relatively remote place. He could search in those places and find clues.

Xin Yi spent half an hour but still couldn't find the location of the black market. She figured it was just bad luck. She went to another place, and if it wasn't the black market there either, she would just turn back and go home.

This place is located on the west side of the town, and the further west you go, the fewer people there are.

Suddenly, Xin Yi noticed two women carrying baskets covered with cloth, their eyes darting around. It was like finding a needle in a haystack; this must be the location of the black market.

Xin Yi walked towards the two women, intending to ask about the entrance to the black market.

As soon as they got close, the two women, like startled rabbits, took off running for their lives.

Xin Yi couldn't help but sigh at how poor their mental fortitude was!

Why is she reacting so strongly when she is so beautiful and approachable?

Now that's bad; the person has been scared away, and I'll have to spend half a day looking for the entrance to the black market.

Xin Yi continued walking forward, thinking that she would only need to waste another ten minutes at most, and if she couldn't find it, she would come back next time.

Just then, a man walked towards them; he looked rather fierce.

But that's all it can do to scare ordinary people. Who am I, Xin Yi?

With that thought in mind, Xin Yi stopped the man.

"Brother, do you know where the entrance to the black market is? I want to go there to exchange some things."

The man glanced at Xin Yi. Her face was covered in dirt and grime, which was definitely a disguise. It seemed he would have a good day. Judging by her figure, just taking her down would be worth a lot of money.

The man replied solicitously, "Miss, my name is Sang Biao. I live around here and know this area like the back of my hand. You've come to the right person!"

“I could tell from your expression that you’re a straightforward person, which is why I mustered up the courage to stop you!” Xin Yi replied.

Sang Biao looked her up and down for a while, then asked, "Hey girl, what's your name?"

"Brother Sang Biao, my name is Mei Zhi!"

Xin Yi's answer immediately gave Sang Biao a clue. She was a simple and honest woman, just the kind of woman he wanted.

"Meizhi, the entrance to the black market isn't far away, but it involves going through several alleys. Anyway, I'm free right now, so let me take you there!"

"Alright, then I can only thank Brother Sang Biao for his kindness!"

Sang Biao led Xin Yi along, through this alley and into another.

Feeling she had wasted a lot of time, Xin Yi said helplessly, "Brother Sang Biao, my family is waiting for me to go back! How about we come again next time?"

But in her heart she was thinking, "I don't have time to deal with you now, let you run wild for a few more days."

Upon hearing Xin Yi say she would come another day, Sang Biao immediately became a little anxious. "Girl, we're almost there. It won't take too long. They have everything inside, and there are no tickets. Just buy your ticket and leave. It's very convenient!"

Xin Yi thought for a moment, "Alright, let's hurry up!"

Both of them quickened their pace without realizing it, and as soon as they turned a corner, they saw a lane guarded by two people.

Xin Yizhen suspected that Sang Biao was deliberately leading her around aimlessly, making it impossible for her to find her way or escape.

Sang Biao led Xin Yi to the door, where one of the men said, "Brother Sang Biao, you just left and you're back again!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Xin Yi, thinking to himself, "This woman is probably doomed to be captured by Sang Biao. What a pity."

Sang Biao replied with feigned nonchalance, "I brought my sister to the black market for a stroll. Let's exchange passwords first!"

Girls? How many girls did you bring?

On the surface, he remained respectful, saying, "Two and a half ounces!"

"Sorghum liquor!"

"One cup and he's done!"

"Old Baijiu!"

"Buy or sell?"

"purchase!"

"One cent per person!"

Sang Biao took two cents directly from his pocket and handed them to the man.

"Brother Sangbiao, you and the girl can go in now!"

Sang Biao glanced smugly at Xin Yi, "Come on, little sister, I'll show you around!"

Xin Yi didn't say anything, just nodded and followed behind.

After Sang Biao and his companion left, the two gatekeepers spat in disgust.

"You bastard, if he weren't Brother Lin's brother-in-law, would he dare to perform some kind of shamanistic ritual in front of me?"

"no way!"

"Just accept your fate!"

Sang Biao led Xin Yi through a hidden door, where the interior suddenly revealed its furnishings.

Just like the farmers' market in my previous life, there were vendors lined up neatly on both sides, mainly selling vegetables and grains.

Since she had all of these for the time being, Xin Yi didn't look at them much.

Sang Biao noticed Xin Yi's expression and asked considerately, "Little sister, do you have enough food and vegetables at home?"

“I have plenty of land, so this little bit won’t make a difference. I mainly want to buy some pots, pans, and other kitchenware. We’re moving to a new house, so we need to get some new things.”

Upon receiving a positive response, Sang Biao was secretly thrilled; it seemed he had discovered a big fish.

"Girl, you should have said so earlier! I know all the shops around here. Buying a big iron pot? That's not cheap. It's thirty yuan with a receipt, and forty yuan without one!"

"Brother Sang Biao, please take me with you. I brought 500 yuan with me when I left! I can use it all at once without any problem!"

Five hundred yuan!

Sang Biao was so excited that he drew out his words. Realizing his lapse in composure, he quickly covered his mouth and whispered, "Girl, don't flaunt your wealth! Don't let anyone hear us!"

Well, the big bad wolf even told the little white rabbit to guard against other big bad wolves!

Xin Yi pretended to be nonchalant, "Brother Sang Biao, with you protecting me, I'm not afraid at all. Let's go take a look!"

Sang Biao suppressed his excitement and brought Xin Yi to the blacksmith shop.

"You choose the girl!"

When the blacksmith saw Sang Biao bringing a woman over, he winked at Xin Yi a few times, signaling her to run away quickly.

Xin Yi received the message, but she wasn't afraid. She nodded and smiled at her boss.

The boss only dared to give subtle hints; since the other party didn't appreciate it, he couldn't blame himself.

"Brother Sang Biao, what brings you to my little blacksmith shop today? If there's anything you need, just let me know and I'll personally deliver it to your door!"

The shopkeeper's flattery pleased Sang Biao greatly. "We'll talk about that later. This is my sister. She wants to buy a big iron pot. You can choose a good quality one. Money is no object!"

Xin Yi chimed in, "Boss, give me another aluminum pot and four stainless steel bowls for serving dishes! The best of everything!"

It would be foolish not to do business. If this woman encounters misfortune, I'll just burn more paper money for her. Anyway, I've already warned her; whether she listens or not is her business.
