Chapter 334 New Black Market Aphrodisiac
Chapter 334 New Black Market Aphrodisiac
After repairing the motorcycle tricycle, it was almost time to get off work.
No matter how interested everyone was in the boy, they were not as interested as those who came after get off work, so they all went home after get off work.
Li Kailang stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities. When passing by the black market, he found a pot of flowers outside.
Li Kailang knew that this was not prepared for him, but for others.
After all, since the last time they got a bunch of weapons, both parties have severed their relations and haven't seen each other for four or five months. How could it be possible that they were prepared for Li Kailang?
"Speaking of the black market, I haven't been to the black market for a long time. It's a good time to go to the new black market and see what's different."
Thinking of this, Li Kailang quickly bought something and went back.
On the way home, Li Kailang noticed that there were a lot more patrol police on the streets than usual. They had sharp eyes and were paying close attention to the situation around them.
"We haven't walked far yet and we see a lot of policemen. This is weird. What happened?"
Li Kailang muttered to himself, "I almost forgot, next month is the tenth anniversary. No wonder there are so many more police officers, they must be here to investigate."
As for who they were investigating, of course they were enemy spies.
However, those who have been able to hide until now are either hiding very deeply or are unable to integrate into the lives of ordinary people and break free from their constraints.
However, this has nothing to do with Li Kailang. As long as the enemy spies are not exposed, it will be useless even if Li Kailang has excellent hearing.
"I wonder if it will affect the black market?"
late at night.
Li Kailang listened carefully to the breathing sounds of everyone in the yard at home. After confirming that everything was stable, he climbed over the wall, left the yard, and headed towards the new black market.
The black market that Li Kailang went to this time was Dongxiao Market outside Chongwenmen, which mainly sold used clothes and second-hand goods, but also other goods mixed in.
There are items of dubious origin, rare items, and even fakes that deceive people.
Whether what you can buy is good or bad depends entirely on your own vision.
Li Kailang came here, on the one hand to avoid Lao Zhang's original black market, and on the other hand to see if there were any good things here.
The black market in Dongxiao City was not far from Li Kailang’s home. Li Kailang hurried over and arrived at the place soon.
"Wow, there are quite a lot of people here." Li Kailang paid the entrance fee and saw quite a few people as soon as he entered.
Looking around, a rough calculation shows that there are slightly more people here than Lao Zhang’s black market, and the flow of people is also more dense.
Li Kailang walked between the stalls, looking at each product one by one with his sharp eyes.
The goods vary, but mainly second-hand clothes.
From fine leather goods and long gowns to undershirts and trousers, as long as the clothes were not torn, they could be taken away by the clothing seller.
After some care, they can be turned into a pair of clothes and pants that are not dirty or torn, and there are even some trendy clothes that can be sold at street stalls.
Li Kailang walked into the stall, picked it up and looked at it carefully.
The stall owner immediately stood up, his eyes fixed on Li Kailang, and walked slowly to his side. He was not worried that Li Kailang would not buy it, but was afraid that he would snatch it away.
After all, there are too many people here and it's not worth losing the stall for a piece of clothing, but you can't just let it be stolen.
Li Kailang picked up the clothes, felt the fineness of the material with his fingertips, and smelled it lightly.
Although the clothes were well treated, the old smell was difficult to remove.
Li Kailang put his clothes down and walked forward for a while, and the stall owner sat back down.
There were quite a few things in front of him, of all kinds, including gold and silver jewelry, antiques and jade, and calligraphy and paintings, all displayed openly.
Anyone can tell at a glance that most of these things are fakes and are not worth any money at all.
But if you meet someone with good eyesight, it is not impossible to buy the real thing.
Standing in front of the gold, silver and jewelry, several guests were whispering to each other, as if discussing whether they were real or fake.
Li Kailang walked over one by one and took a closer look. "I wonder if this method can be used to get antique appreciation out of people."
But it is obvious that Li Kailang's idea is impossible to succeed.
"What a pity, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out." Li Kailang said with an open mind. He had never thought about this expectation in the first place, so naturally he was not disappointed.
Li Kailang continued walking forward and suddenly found a big bone on a stall.
There is also something like a small ball wrapped in paper on the side.
A lot of people gathered around the stall, talking to the stall owner.
Li Kailang focused his attention on his ears, eavesdropping on what they were talking about.
"Sir, this tiger bone is of good quality. Please give me a fair price. This is all."
A man was talking to the stall owner, and under the cover of their hats, both sides used gestures to indicate the price.
"Hmm~" The stall owner exerted a little force, waved the buyer's hand, and offered the price he wanted.
The price put the buyer in a dilemma: "No, it's too much. Don't you know how precious food is now?"
"No, that won't work. This is my price. Take it or leave it." said the stall owner.
"Forget it. With this food, I can have enough to eat for more than ten days." The buyer shook his head, separated from the stall owner, and stepped aside.
The next person shook hands with the stall owner, but soon gave in and retreated to the back.
"Your price is not honest. We have to eat all the grain now. How much grain will be wasted if we use it to make wine? I can't afford your price."
After shaking hands and comparing prices with the stall owner, many people stepped back and watched to see who would dare to buy.
At the same time, it also puts some psychological pressure on the stall owners. If the stall owners can't bear it, they will buy it at the first time.
"Oh." The stall owner sighed helplessly, shook his head, sat down again, and looked at the fresh tiger bones.
This tiger bone was accidentally found when he was hunting a tiger today. The tiger was so hungry that it pounced on him and wanted to eat him when it saw him, but he was more skilled and killed it.
The stall owner wanted to use tiger bones to buy food, but his price was too high. Given the current situation, this price was not expensive in the past, and was even very cheap.
But not now, the price is very expensive.
After all, if you want to use tiger bones to make wine, you need food. Buying and selling tiger bones requires food, and making wine also requires food.
Who would dare to buy the two large sacks of grain?
After eavesdropping on everyone's conversation, Li Kailang's eyes moved over the tiger bones with great interest.
Tiger bone wine not only has extremely high medicinal value, but is also a treasure that many people dream of.
"It just so happens that the wine book also has the method of brewing tiger bone wine. In the past, we could only use medicinal materials to brew wine, but now we can finally brew wine with tiger bones."
The tonic wine given to Zhang Jinwu before was all brewed with medicinal herbs. It is amazing that wine brewed with medicinal herbs is so powerful, let alone tiger bone wine.
Those who know the effects of tiger bone wine will understand. Li Kailang couldn't help but smile evilly.
There is no such store in this village.
"It would be great if we had tiger whips. If we collect some, we can make some aphrodisiac whip wine."
Thinking of this, Li Kailang went to the stall owner to discuss the matter.
When the stall owner saw another person coming up, his eyes lit up.
The onlookers were all watching a good show. It wouldn't be long before Li Kailang would be like them and retreat here to watch the show.
Li Kailang followed the example of the previous people and stretched out his hand, shaking hands with the stall owner under the cover of his hat.
Li Kailang knew how much food the stall owner wanted, and after the stall owner made a gesture, he immediately grabbed his hand and whispered, "Deal!"
The stall owner stared at Li Kailang under the cloak with wide eyes in shock, "Really? This is a lot of food, are you sure?"
"Sure, why don't you want to sell it?" "Sell, sell, of course!" the stall owner responded immediately.
The two were talking in low voices, and the onlookers couldn't see their mouths, but seeing the stall owner's strange movements, everyone guessed that a deal had been made.
"Oh, let's go." Some people waved their hands and left, but some people did not give up and stood there watching.
"By the way, what exactly is the treasure wrapped in that paper?"
Li Kailang's gaze fell on the small ball wrapped tightly in paper again, and there was a bit of curiosity and expectation in his tone.
The stall owner smiled mysteriously and whispered, "Tiger whip, real tiger whip."
"Tiger whip? Really?"
The stall owner nodded solemnly, "Really? I called today. Do you want it?"
"Tiger whip? It's really rare to see it!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Kailang's eyes, but then he regained his composure.
Such things are hard to come by on the black market, and their value is far beyond what money can measure.
"That amount, I want one too." Li Kailang expressed his wish directly without much hesitation.
“This price!”
The stall owner was secretly delighted upon seeing this, but remained calm on the surface. The two of them, hidden behind the brims of their hats, quickly gestured at prices with their fingers.
"Okay, I'll take it." Li Kailang agreed readily.
You know, it is very difficult to encounter tigers in the old city, and I don’t know how this hunter encountered and killed it.
"Great!" The stall owner didn't expect that someone would not even tell him the price. He had no confidence at first and wanted to lower the price.
This is truly a case of there being a ray of hope after a dark cloud.
Li Kailang asked: "How do we trade?"
The stall owner said directly: "Go to your place."
"Okay, then follow me."
"Wait a minute, let me clean up."
After all, it was a trade of grain, and seeing that Li Kailang didn't bring any grain with him, the stall owner naturally wanted to go with Li Kailang.
As for the worry about being set up by Li Kailang and being robbed by his fellow thieves, and thinking that the shotgun in his hand was a joke?
When they were about to leave, they found that a group of onlookers had gathered around them, and they were obviously very interested in this transaction.
Li Kailang frowned slightly when he saw this. He didn't want to cause any trouble, nor did he want to be intercepted by others.
"What? Do you want to follow us too? Do you have anything?" Li Kailang stared at the people who followed him.
"I'm just on my way, I'm not following you, you guys go your way."
"Yes, yes, you guys go on your way, I'll just take a look."
Those who wanted to follow stood still or stepped back and did not follow.
Li Kailang led the stall owner through the crowd quickly and disappeared into the crowd. A few people followed unwillingly.
But there was no trace of the two people anymore.
After leaving the black market, Li Kailang led the stall owner through many twists and turns, just in case someone was following them. The stall owner understood what he meant and followed without saying a word.
After a while, Li Kailang came to a relatively hidden alley.
After confirming that no one was following him, Li Kailang stopped, turned around and said to the stall owner: "Wait here for a moment, I'll go get some food."
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the stall owner alone waiting there.
The stall owner nodded, watched Li Kailang leave, and found a secluded corner to hide.
On the one hand, it was to prevent someone from seeing him, and on the other hand, it was to prevent Li Kailang from suddenly attacking him.
After Li Kailang left, he immediately went into the planting space and took out the 100 kilograms of coarse grains from the stall owner.
Now the price of coarse grains on the black market is 10 cent per pound, which is only yuan.
In the past, it was impossible to buy tiger bones and tiger penis with 10 yuan, but now you can buy them.
Grain is now in short supply. Money can buy it, but no one is willing to sell it. This is why stall owners are willing to sell it at a low price.
If he didn't exchange for food, he didn't know how he would survive the remaining months.
Not long after, Li Kailang came out carrying 100 kilograms of coarse grains. He pretended not to see the stall owner and shook his head in confusion, looking for someone.
The stall owner came out immediately.
"You are here. It's safe here. No need to hide." Li Kailang said.
The stall owner smiled and said that it was useless to talk about safety. If someone found out, he would be the one who would be in trouble.
Li Kailang opened the bag and said, "The food is all here. Take a look and see if there is anything missing."
The stall owner was about to stretch his head to look, but was stopped by Li Kailang, "Tiger bones and tiger penis."
"Here." The stall owner immediately handed a bag and a paper package to Li Kailang.
The two exchanged things and looked at the goods carefully.
Li Kailang took the tiger bones and tiger whip, examined them carefully one by one, and admired them secretly in his heart.
These tiger bones and tiger penises were obviously recent prey and are extremely well preserved.
The stall owner looked at the bag full of grains with a satisfied look in his eyes. For him, this was undoubtedly a good deal.
Food is hard currency, and being able to exchange so much food so easily is undoubtedly a timely help for him.
The two looked up and smiled at each other, both very satisfied with the transaction.
"Okay, that's fine. Thanks a lot, brother. I'll come back to you if I have something good in the future." The stall owner said, "I've given you the things, and I'm leaving now."
"Me too. Be careful on your journey." Li Kailang replied.
The transaction was completed, and the two left tacitly.
After getting the things, Li Kailang ran all the way back to the courtyard and started brewing wine as soon as he got home.
"Hurry up, hurry up, get out the tiger bone wine and tiger penis while they're fresh."
Tiger bone wine is simple. It is made by soaking tiger bones and other medicinal materials in white wine.
As for the needed medicinal herbs, Li Kailang had them all grown in his planting space, so there was no need to buy them.
"Fortunately, I reserved an acre of land to grow medicinal herbs. Otherwise, how could I buy medicinal herbs at this late hour?"
After making the tiger bone wine, the next step is to make the tiger penis wine, which is a little more troublesome.
Not only tiger whips are needed, but also bull whips, sheep whips, dog whips, centipedes, etc., a total of 9 materials.
Among them, Li Kailang lacked dog whip and centipede, so he couldn't make it and could only put it aside temporarily.
In fact, it's just the centipede that's missing. Where is the dog's whip? A single dog is also a dog.
Kidding.
"What a pity. Forget it if there is nothing to do. Let's go to the big pharmacy to buy some tomorrow."
There was nothing to do, so Li Kailang went to find the leopard cat, petted it, and fell asleep.
