Chapter 18 It is important not to show off your wealth

The black market that Chen Jianye chose was the area at the foot of the imperial city.

Along the way, Chen Jianye ran forward.

After about twenty minutes, he arrived at the black market at the foot of the imperial city.

This black market has a long history and stable stalls, and is a well-known place.

Chen Jianye took out a cloth bag from his personal space and hung it on his shoulder, then took out a straight cloth bag and covered his entire head with it, leaving only his eyes, mouth and nose exposed for breathing.

Then he grabbed the flashlight and stepped into the black market.

"Brother, what do you want to buy?"

"Squeak, bro, I'll take you running."

“We have everything.”

"You're right to find me."

As soon as he entered the black market, Chen Jianye met a group of brokers.

They make a living in the black market, mainly helping novice customers connect with stall owners.

Earn a commission from it.

Chen Jianye said nothing, waved his hand and ignored these people.

He held a flashlight and, like other customers, shone it on the stall.

Chen Jianye, who has the ability to see in the dark, scanned each stall one by one.

There are many people in the black market.

But the situation with supply and marketing cooperatives is completely different.

The supply and marketing cooperative was crowded and noisy. Even though there were people maintaining order, all kinds of noisy noises were inevitable.

There were quite a few people on the black market, but everyone kept their distance.

If customers like something and want to buy it, they talk to the stall owner in a low voice and dare not shout.

Chen Jianye quickly integrated into the black market.

I also found some supplies that I wanted to buy.

Finally he stopped at a stall selling eggs.

There was a sign on the stall saying eggs were 40 cents a pound.

"I want... 30 kilograms of eggs. Can you make it cheaper?"

Chen Jianye squatted in front of the stall and asked in a low voice with his voice deliberately hoarse.

It’s not easy to make money, so save as much as you can.

"Oh, you want to buy something?"

The stalls were a bit surprising, after all, the customers who came to buy things in the black market were all individual sellers.

Very few people would order thirty kilograms of eggs at once.

If you buy too many eggs and leave them at home, they will easily go bad.

Only the unit can buy so many eggs at one time.

However, the company has special buyers who go to the countryside or communes to collect eggs, and the price is kept relatively low.

“Can it be cheaper?”

Chen Jianye ignored the stall owner's question and asked.

"Brother, it's not cheap. I can't make the decision."

The stall owner realized that he had said too much and hurriedly said.

"If you don't sell it, I'll buy it from someone else."

Chen Jianye stood up.

"No, no, no, if you want thirty kilograms, I'll give you a discount of three cents per kilogram."

"37 cents a pound. I guarantee you, you won't find eggs cheaper than mine at any of the stalls around you."

"To be honest with you, the three cents are for the brokers outside. This is the cheapest price I can give you."

The stall owner kept chatting with Chen Jianye, reluctant to see his big customer leave.

Peers are enemies.

If Chen Zhixing left, he would definitely go to his colleague to buy eggs.

Seeing your colleagues making money is more painful than losing money yourself.

"Okay, weigh me thirty pounds."

Chen Jianye stood up and reached into his pocket, actually taking out a stack of loose bills from his personal space.

"Brother, you are so brave to put the money in your pocket."

"Let me remind you again, there are a lot of things to steal here, so it's better to be safe than sorry."

The stall owner weighed the goods while whispering a reminder.

The overall social order is not very stable these days. Since transactions are made with money and bills, bag stealing is very rampant.

When ordinary people go out, they usually put their money and bills inside the interlayer of their clothes.

If it is summer, sew a piece of cloth on your underwear and put it inside.

Ensure safety first.

People like Chen Jianye who put their money in their clothes pockets outside are considered by the stall owners to have never suffered any loss.

"Thank you, bro."

Chen Jianye expressed his sincere gratitude and ordered eleven yuan and ten cents.

The two paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

Thirty kilograms of eggs were very heavy, so the stall owner sold them to Chen Jianye in a sack for ten cents.

Chen Jianye readily agreed.

Walking out of the black market with a sack.

When they reached a deserted place, Chen Jianye put the sack into his personal space.

After waiting for a while, he entered the black market from another place.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jianye purchased another 20 kilograms of pork.

He specially purchased pork belly, which cost one dollar and two cents per pound.

Chen Jianye spent a total of twenty-four dollars.

Twenty pounds of pork is very thick.

Chen Jianye carried the pork on his shoulders and walked out of the black market.

Many people stared at the pork on his shoulder with green eyes.

The smell of meat is tempting, especially such a large piece of pork.

After Chen Jianye walked out of the black market, his keen five senses made him realize that someone was following him.

'Damn, no wonder the old saying goes that wealth should not be shown to others.'

Chen Jianye secretly thought it was a bad idea.

He just wanted to buy enough supplies at one time, but he ignored the greed of human nature.

Just as the egg vendor said, there are a lot of thieves in the black market.

It only takes a moment for a thief to turn into a robber, as long as the benefits are big enough.

Chen Jianye was not at all panicked. He strode forward carrying the pork and deliberately found an alley to walk into.

Outside the alley.

The three young men gathered together and stopped facing the dark alley.

They were the gang that had been following Chen Jianye all the way.

Although they saw with their own eyes Chen Jianye carrying pork into the alley.

But whether to follow up or not, you have to be cautious.

"Brother, that kid ran inside, is this a trick?"

Standing on the left, a young man with a pointed chin and a monkey-like face looked alert.

"What the hell, he just took money out of his pocket, did you see it?"

The sturdy brother standing in the middle sneered.

"No."

The young man standing on the right with a big mole on his face and hair on the mole shook his head.

"He directly took out a stack of money from his pocket, at least forty or fifty yuan."

The sturdy elder brother's eyes sparkled.

"He's just a chick!"

The young man with a pointed chin and monkey face made a judgment instantly.

"Brother, what a great opportunity."

The young man with the big mole suddenly became excited.

"The three of us won't beat around the bush with him, let's just go straight to him."

"on!"

The sturdy elder brother took out the dagger from his body, swung his hand forward fiercely, and ran into the alley first.

A horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.

Wealth and wealth are found in danger.

The three men ran very quickly, holding a knife in one hand and a flashlight in the other.

Just after running around a corner.

Before the sturdy young man could completely turn around, a sound of breaking wind was heard.

In the pitch-black environment, the sound of breaking wind suddenly occurred. What does it mean?

Before the sturdy young man could react, a kick landed on his chest.

Bang.

The sturdy young man felt as if his chest was hit by a battering ram. He quickly retreated and hit the wall behind him heavily.

The body hit the wall with a dull sound.

The flashlight and dagger in his hands fell to the ground.

The young man leaned against the wall, lowered his head and fell down, his body twitching repeatedly.

Obviously, the kick just now damaged his internal organs and he will not live long.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

The young man with a pointed chin and a monkey face and the young man with a mole on his face were both stunned.

The flashlight was pointed straight ahead, and I didn't dare look forward to see what was around the corner.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Chen Jianye took a few steps forward and appeared in front of the two men.

"You, where's your pork?"

The young man with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks was full of questions.

"It's right over there. If you have the guts, beat me up and both the pork and the money will be yours."

Chen Jianye pointed to the corner.

It's deserted over there.

But it doesn’t matter, Chen Zhixing knows that the two people in front of him can’t see it.
