Chapter 15

Lu Wan got off the ox cart, found a secluded place where no one was around, and went to the portable mall.

She had some breakfast first.

In the previous life, my body was too weak and I fell ill, which left me with sequelae and I couldn’t even have children.

In this life, I must take good care of my body so that I can give Su Zhenhua a baby.

Three meals a day cannot be missed. Eat when you need to eat and rest when you need to rest.

Thinking about my past life, when I was struggling in the business world, I was often too busy to have time to eat, and my health was getting worse and worse. As a result, I lost the family business I had worked hard for half my life to a scumbag and a bitch. I felt it was not worth it.

No matter what happens in the future, your health should always come first.

Lu Wan found a breakfast shop in the portable mall and bought a meat bun, a boiled egg, a cup of soy milk, and a fried dough stick, and had a delicious breakfast.

After eating, Lu Wan went to a large supermarket and bought some rice, flour, oil, meat, eggs and other things from it.

I’ll need these to exchange for money and tickets when I go to the black market later.

Before the reform and opening up, Su Zhenhua had not yet started his own business.

During this period, she had to make money and live a good life with Su Zhenhua. Money and tickets were of course indispensable!

Only after she was ready did Lu Wan come out of the system mall.

She first went to the post office and sent a telegram to her parents.

The general meaning is that she fell into the water in the countryside and almost died, but was saved by Su Zhenhua. She liked Su Zhenhua, and with the rumors in the production team, she planned to marry this man.

Of course, she also spoke well of Su Zhenhua. This man was very practical, capable, and reliable. She hoped her parents would not worry about her.

After sending the telegram, Lu Wan left the post office.

Before going to the black market, Lu Wan was afraid of being exposed, so she disguised herself.

But she didn’t know where the black market was, so she had to find out its location.

Seeing an old lady busy in front of her house in the alley, Lu Wan went over and approached her.

“Auntie, you’re up so early and busy. You’re really hardworking!”

The old lady was also very outgoing. When she heard Lu Wan say that, she smiled and said, “I can’t help it. There are still several kids at home waiting to be fed!

Alas, food is so scarce these days, and it’s hard to get food. No matter how hard you work, it’s not easy to have enough to eat or eat well.”

Lu Wan continued, “That’s right, Auntie. The food we have is not enough to eat. My family is also short of food, especially fine grains. We haven’t had any for a long time.

Auntie, do you know where I can buy food?”

The old lady was slightly stunned. “Where can I buy food? Can’t I buy it at the grain store?”

Lu Wan quickly lowered her voice and said, “Auntie, I’m not talking about the grain store.

The grain store needs grain coupons, but I don’t have any.

Is there anywhere else I can buy food?”

The old lady seemed to understand what Lu Wan meant.

Then he quickly looked around and confirmed that there was no one around before asking, “You mean, the black market?”

Lu Wan nodded, “Auntie, you are older than me, so you must be knowledgeable. Where is the black market? Can you tell me?”

I want to buy some food. There is no food left at home. If I don’t buy some, I will probably go hungry.”

Lu Wan said this with a pitiful expression.

When the old lady saw Lu Wan like this, she felt a little sympathy.

Her family also suffered from food shortage.

It’s easy to be short of other things, but lack of food is the most uncomfortable.

If you can’t fill your stomach, you will feel dizzy and dizzy from hunger.

If there is no other choice, who would take the risk to buy food in a dangerous place like the black market? .

The old lady whispered, “Girl, there are two black markets in our county. One is at the bus station, and the other is over at East Lane.”

Lu Wan wrote down the location and nodded, “Okay, thank you, Auntie.”

Just as she was about to leave, the old lady called her back, “Girl, the black market is very tight these days, you have to be careful and don’t get caught.”

Facing the aunt’s kind reminder, Lu Wan smiled and responded, “Okay, aunt, I know.”

After leaving this place, Lu Wan went to the black market.

Lu Wan didn’t go to the bus station because there were many people there and the risk of being discovered was greater.

She went to East Lane, where there were fewer people and it was relatively safer.

Lu Wan covered her face with a black veil, leaving only a pair of eyes visible.

Then he carried the backpack and looked for trading targets.

Soon, Lu Wan set her sights on a man in work clothes.

Generally speaking, these people have money and tickets, but their families do not have enough food and need to buy it on the black market.

Lu Wan followed him and asked the man, “Brother, do you want some food? I have some fine grains here, do you want to buy some?”

The man was slightly startled, then quickly came to his senses and nodded, “Buy!”

These days, it’s good enough to be able to buy food, let alone fine grains.

It just so happened that he was worried about buying fine grains!

His father is ill and has not been in good health recently.

The whole grains are too hard to swallow.

He thought of going to the black market and buying some fine grains to take back.

For example, it’s good to cook rice and vegetables into porridge, and if you use white flour, you can also make some dumpling soup.

Compared with coarse grains, fine grains are more nutritious to the body and are beneficial to his father’s condition.

The doctors said that if you take good care of your body and strengthen your immunity and resistance, your condition will gradually improve.

“Okay, big brother, there are too many people here, let’s find a place where there is no one to talk.”

“Okay, okay!” the man responded quickly. This was what he meant.

The black market is too dangerous. If you happen to run into someone who operates the black market, you will be punished if you are caught.

If there was no other way, he wouldn’t want to come.

The two of them found a secluded place with no one around. The man hurriedly asked, “Big sister, what kind of fine food do you have? How do you sell it?”

Lu Wan said, “We have rice and flour.

As for the price, it’s only 30 cents per pound.

I don’t want food coupons, but you have to give me some other coupons.

Cloth coupons, sugar coupons, industrial coupons, etc. are all fine.”

After hearing this, the man felt that the price Lu Wan sold was not expensive at all.

Normally, if you go to a grain store, a pound of rice and flour costs 1.5 cents. On the black market, double the price is considered cheap.

Some are sold at a very high price, costing fifty or sixty cents per pound.

It was a bit expensive, but without food coupons and with the tight supply, everyone was scrambling for the fine grain, and many people were vying to buy it.

He had just asked around in the black market and found out that all the food was coarse grains and the prices were not cheap.

The price Lu Wan offered was low and the grain was fine quality.

It seems that he is really lucky today.

The man said happily, “Sure, I’ll take whatever fine grains you have.”

Lu Wan thought about it and reported the quantity, “I have 20 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of flour. Do you want them?”

In fact, she has more, but she can’t report too much, otherwise it will arouse suspicion.

In those days, food supplies were scarce, and the fact that she was selling so much food was a bit too eye-catching.
