Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Black Market_1

Early the next morning, ng Yunhan got up and fed her son. She handed the baby to his grandmother and quickly left for town.

When Zhao, the local junkman, saw ng Yunhan, he imdiately looked at her belly, “Hanhan, have you given birth?”

ng Yunhan chuckled and nodded, “Yes, I have. We are holding the Full Moon Wine celebration the day after tomorrow. I ca to invite you today.”

Uncle Zhao laughed and replied, “Good, I will definitely attend.”

Thinking about the at, ng Yunhan embarrassedly asked, “Do you know where I can buy so at?”

Upon hearing her question, Zhao instantly understood why she asked.

It must be for the Full Moon Wine.

“Hanhan, the at is a bit pricey, you know?”

ng Yunhan shook her head, “No matter how expensive, I need to buy so.”

Seeing her persistence, Zhao told her the location.

ng Yunhan then left her produce behind and headed to the black market.

This ti she used a basket strapped to her back to visit the town, so she could take out so grain from her space to trade for at.

As she arrived at the black market, she was imdiately approached.

“Are you here to buy or sell?” a man asked, noticing the basket on her back.

“I’m here to buy as well as to sell,” ng Yunhan replied in a quiet voice.

The man imdiately understood her aning.

“Follow .”

After a mont of hesitation, ng Yunhan followed him.

They stopped in a corner. “What do you want to buy and sell?” he asked.

“I sell grains and so produce, and I’m looking for pork.”

Seeing ng Yunhan’s request, the man frowned, “How much at do you need?”

“Ten to twenty pounds. By tomorrow at the latest. I have thirty pounds of corn flour and twenty pounds of rice in my basket,” ng Yunhan stated her trade intentions.

The man was stunned to know that ng Yunhan carried fifty pounds of grain, but his face soon lit up with joy. Given current crop conditions, grains were precious!

“The corn flour is a dollar per pound, rice is two dollars a pound, and the pork might be three dollars per pound. Sell the grain to today, and by tomorrow I will provide you with twenty pounds of pork,” the man quickly calculated.

At this ti, grains were quite expensive, and the price he offered was reasonable. Considering the large quantity of grains in her space, even though she had been adding grains to the rice tub daily, it seed never-ending. She reckoned she had accumulated a thousand pounds by now.

ng Yunhan was ready to leave her basket, but the man said, “Let’s get into the house for they have a scale in there.”.

Boldly, ng Yunhan followed the man into the house.

Suddenly, he shouted, and a woman ca out with a scale.

ng Yunhan put down the basket, and the man weighed it. There were indeed thirty pounds of corn flour and twenty pounds of rice.

The man handed the money for the grains to ng Yunhan, and reminded her, “Please co back at the sa ti tomorrow.”

“I will be back tomorrow,” ng Yunhan said, strapping the empty basket to her back as she headed back ho.

She hurried ho with her empty basket, wondering if her son was fussy.
