Chapter 419 Black Market Trading
Nowadays, the black market is no longer as strictly controlled as before. Therefore, Ye Tan and Shuoxin easily found out the location of the largest black market in Beijing. It is in a remote alley in the southern suburbs of Beijing. Basically, 24 It's open every hour, so as long as you don't get caught, you can buy whatever you want.
There are other black markets in Beijing, but they are very small. Therefore, Ye Tan and Shuoxin planned to go to the largest black market early the next morning to explore the market.
Early the next morning, when it was just dawn and there were few people on the street, Ye Tan and Shuo Xin went to the southern suburbs of Beijing. Before setting off, Ye Tan posted a disguise talisman. In fact, Shuo Xin can also be refined. Disguise Pill, but after all, it consumes spiritual power, so this disguise talisman is just right. As for Shuo Xin, he does not need the disguise talisman at all. He only needs a thought to change his appearance, even with his spiritual power. No need to consume.
"What are you doing?" After arriving in the southern suburbs, with Shuo Xin's consciousness, he quickly locked the location of the black market. He and Ye Tan each carried a large bamboo basket on their backs and a sack in their hands. They were dressed like farmers. After dressing up, a man in his forties stopped them as soon as they reached the entrance of the alley.
"Let's come over and change some things." Shuoxin nodded to the man and said.
The man looked at the large baskets on Ye Tan and Shuoxin's backs, then looked at their clothes, then nodded and said, "If you want to go in, it's a dime per person."
This is the price of admission to the black market.
Shuoxin nodded without objection, gave the man two cents, and entered the alley with Ye Tan.
Ye Tan and Shuo Xin walked very fast. When they arrived at the black market, it was not bright yet, but there were already a lot of people in the black market at this time. Many sellers were squatting or sitting on the ground, with a With big bamboo baskets or pockets, people who want to buy things come up to check them one by one, and make transactions if necessary.
But both the people buying things and the people buying things spoke in extremely low voices, so although there were many people in the alley, it was not noisy.
Ye Tan and Shuoxin were not in a hurry to sell anything, but walked around the alley first to get a rough idea of the prices in the black market.
Although this is the capital city, many supplies are still relatively scarce. The goods traded in this black market are usually rice, sweet potatoes, corn, corn noodles, etc. There are also some villagers from nearby villages who come to the black market to sell home-grown vegetables. In addition, some knowledgeable people will also sell some relatively scarce materials in this black market, such as pork, cloth, fresh fish, some fruits that are not too fresh, as well as cloth stamps, food stamps and meat stamps, and some of the more popular coupons. After all, if you only have money and no tickets, you can't buy pork in the grocery store.
As for pheasants and rabbits, there are very few of them. Those who can catch them basically beat them for sacrifice at home. However, such wild animals are rarely found in supply and marketing cooperatives and non-staple food stores in the city, let alone wild boars. Unless the managers of the black market get a batch of goods themselves, they will be circulated in the black market.
It seems that pheasants, rabbits and wild boar are still scarce in this black market, Ye Tan and Shuo Xin knew it.
The two discussed it secretly, then found an open space and squatted down, placing the large bamboo basket and sacks they had brought on the ground.
As soon as Ye Tan and Shuo Xin put away their things, someone came over immediately. It was a man in his thirties wearing glasses.
The man squatted in front of the bamboo basket and asked softly: "What are you doing here?"
Ye Tan also responded in a low voice: "There is rice, some smoked pheasants and rabbits, and some fresh wild boar meat."
<divclass="contentadv">The rice and wild boar were in Shuoxin's storage ring. He had packed up the wild boar he had shot and divided it evenly into one pound each. As for the smoked pheasant and hare, it was There are a lot of them in Ye Tan's system warehouse.
When the man with glasses heard this, he immediately became excited: "Really, really?"
The man was so happy that his family had already used up all the meat stamps for this month. There were meat stamps and pork for sale on the black market, but the quantity was not large. Beijing is the capital after all, and people who have money in their hands and nowhere to spend it would not do it. Shao, the meat and meat tickets were sold out immediately as soon as they appeared. He only grabbed it twice, and he got it from the end of the crane.
Today he had a head start. At that moment, the man with glasses quickly asked in a low voice: "How did you sell it?"
"Rice is seven cents per catty, wild boar is one and a half yuan per catty, smoked hare is five yuan each, and smoked pheasant is two yuan each. No votes are required." It's just that Ye Tan and Shuo Xin have negotiated, and the price of rice is based on the black market price. Come on, as for the prices of smoked pheasant, smoked hare and wild boar, they are pretty much the same, so this is more or less the price. After all, it is the first time for both of them to come to the black market. As for how these wild products are priced in the black market, I really don’t know much about it, after all, they didn’t find any reference today.
The smoked hares Ye Tan took out were not small, each weighing six or seven pounds, while the smoked pheasants each weighed almost two or three pounds.
"Bring me two smoked hares, five smoked pheasants, and ten pounds of wild boar meat." Upon hearing this, the man with glasses said excitedly.
His family was not short of rice, but they were short of meat. The smoked pheasants and hares could also be kept, so he did not hesitate to order several, and he could eat them slowly when he got home.
"Okay, thirty-five yuan in total." Ye Tan quoted the price immediately, while Shuo Xin took out the things the bespectacled man needed from the bamboo basket without saying a word.
"Okay, okay, no problem." The man with glasses said excitedly. He quickly took out thirty-five yuan and handed it to Ye Tan. He then took the smoked pheasant, rabbit and wild boar meat handed over by Shuoxin and put it on his back. In the backpack.
Although the glasses man and Ye Tan spoke in a low voice, they were surrounded by human beings and had long heard it. When they looked at the meat that Shuoxin took out from the bamboo basket, their eyes suddenly shone, and before the two parties had finished the transaction , and hurriedly gathered around.
After asking for the price, they didn't even pay the price back, and they immediately grabbed each other. Suddenly, Ye Tan and Shuo Xin's stall became the most eye-catching presence in the entire black market.
After a while, the 200 kilograms of wild boar meat, dozens of smoked hares, smoked pheasants and rice brought out by Ye Tan and Shuoxin were all sold out, earning more than 500 yuan.
On the second and third days, Ye Tan and Shuoxin still sold so many things.
Such a lively transaction naturally attracted the attention of the black market managers, and this is exactly what Ye Tan and Shuoxin want. After all, they have not been in Beijing for a long time, and they cannot go to the black market to sell things every day. It is the best choice to transfer large quantities of goods to black market managers. Therefore, the two of them sell the goods in such a high-profile manner just to attract attention. Anyway, they are in disguise now, and the other party will want to find them after the transaction. Can't find it either.
