At twelve o'clock in the evening, the alarm rang in the space. Li Wen rubbed his eyes and climbed up from the kang. He came to the space to wash up, and the cold water made Li Wen wake up instantly.

He simply put on makeup in the space and changed his shoes to a larger size to increase his height. Li Wen quietly opened the door and slipped out of the yard.

Weihe County has two black markets, one in the west of the city and one in the east of the city, controlled by two big gangsters.

In the past, Li Wen often went to the black market in the east of the city to trade. But because of a conflict with a small boss of the black market, he never went there again.

Since I am not here to stay, I will go elsewhere. He has a lot of supplies in his hands, and it is too late for others to beg him. So Li Wen has been trading on the black market in the east of the city this year.

The black market in the west of the city is in the alley at the entrance of the west city. It is in the opposite direction to Li Wen's other house.

When he was twenty or thirty meters away from the black market alley, Li Wen used his mental power to investigate, and then took out the backpack from the space.

Then he quickly took out a piece of black cloth, wrapped it around his face, and put the electric baton in his pocket. After doing all this, Li Wen walked into the black market with a swagger.

The black market is not as chaotic as the pigeon market at four or five in the morning, and there is no one to manage it.

The black market is specially managed by someone, and the boss of the black market is also the biggest villain in the black market.

Li Wen hurried to the entrance of the alley. At this time, two young men in their twenties were guarding the entrance of the alley.

"For what?"

Seeing Li Wen walking over in a hurry, a young man stepped forward and shouted softly.

"Brothers, I know the rules." Li Wen handed over the twenty cents with his face covered and smiled softly.

"As long as you know the rules, go in!"

Seeing Li Wen hand over two cents, the young man felt relieved after taking it.

Less than twenty meters into the alley, people were already setting up stalls on both sides of the road. Everyone covered their faces to prevent being recognized.

However, Li Wen did not stop to check, because there were some ordinary items on both sides of the road. Most of them were vegetables and fruits left over from winter, and the quantities were also very small.

In fact, this is not a real black market, it is just a peripheral market for which you pay a management fee of 20 cents.

The black market is actually in an abandoned compound in the middle of the alley. This compound used to be the home of a big landowner, but before liberation, it was invaded by bandits at night.

The bandits slaughtered the whole family, and the owner was even burned with sky lanterns. From then on, the house became deserted, and no one dared to live in it.

You have to pay a fee of 30 cents to enter the black market trading office. In other words, whether you buy something or not, the 50 cents you pay for entering the black market is gone.

Li Wen handed over 30 cents to the four strong men guarding the gate, and then walked into the black market.

Li Wen walked quickly through the front yard. There was no one in the front yard, and the trading places were in the middle yard and the back yard. When Li Wen walked into the middle yard, people's voices suddenly came out.

There were forty or fifty people in the Intermediate Court doing transactions at this time. Some were haggling, and some were discussing with their hands on their sleeves. It was very lively.

Li Wen walked to a corner today and put down his backpack. Then he took out a pound of meat and placed it on a sack on the ground and waited quietly.

In fact, when Li Wen came in, someone had already noticed the backpack on his back. After all, the yard was only over 100 square meters in size.

“It’s actually pork!”

The vendors and customers buying things next to Li Wen exclaimed in low voices.

"Comrade, how do you sell this pork?" the vendor selling things on the side said directly, regardless of the customers who were doing the transaction.

"Four and a half per pound, exchange for tickets or precious items of the same value, free of charge." Li Wen said in a low voice.

"Can it be cheaper?" the vendor asked after hearing the bargaining.

"It's the lowest price. Pork of my quality can cost five yuan per pound. I wanted the tickets, so I offered to give up the price. If I had to counter-offer, I wouldn't say anything." Li Wen refused expressionlessly with his face covered.

"Comrade, I have two industrial coupons in my hand, can you exchange this pound of pork for you?" A customer who was wandering around came over and asked.

"The price is about the same. You can exchange it. I still have pork here. Do you still have industrial coupons or other tickets?" Li Wen nodded and asked.

"Yes, I still have half a catty of gas stamps, an industrial coupon, and these daily necessities stamps in my hand." When the customer heard that Li Wen still had pork, he excitedly took out all the stamps in his pocket.

"These tickets of yours are worth at most two and a half kilograms. My meat has been weighed. It comes in pieces per kilogram. You weigh it." Li Wen raised a piece of pork and asked the man to weigh it.

"Well, a pound of this meat is fine." It seems that this man is also a business owner who often buys and sells things.

Li Wen cut half of a strip of meat, handed the three and a half kilograms of pork to the man, then took the ticket and put it in his pocket.

There had been a transaction with the man, and then Li Wen's stall was immediately surrounded by people. They all took out their bills and traded with Li Wen.

There were more and more people in front of Li Wen, and many people who were buying and selling things in the backyard had heard about it and came out.

After a while, all the forty or fifty kilograms of pork Li Wen carried in his basket were exchanged.

"Okay, everyone, stop hanging around, the pork is gone." Li Wen picked up the basket and shook it down, indicating that it was empty.

"Little brother, do you still have pork? When will you come again?" the crowd asked one after another.

"There's still pork, please wait a moment. I'm going out for a while and I'll be back in a while." Li Wen looked at the crowd around him and said with a smile.

"Okay, little brother, go and come back quickly." The crowd quickly cleared a path and came out.

Li Wen walked out of the black market gate, threw a pack of production brand cigarettes to the four young men guarding the door, said he would come back in a while, and then left in a hurry.

At the entrance of the alley, Li Wen handed out a red plum cigarette to each of the two guards, and then hurried into the night.

After working hard, there was no one within fifty meters. Li Wen quickly took out fifty kilograms of pork from the space and put it into his backpack.

"Little brother is here again!" Two young men at the intersection were smoking Li Wenfa's cigarettes and greeted them with a smile.

"Thank you two brothers for your hard work!"

Li Wen handed over two more cigarettes and walked into the alley amidst the joy of the two of them.

Hongmei cigarettes are specially supplied and can only be smoked by those with a government level or above. Therefore, Li Wen gave the two of them Hongmei cigarettes, which was already very popular.

"Here we come, little brother!" The four young men on duty who came to the gate of the courtyard also smiled and nodded in greeting to Li Wen.

Li Wen chuckled, said hello, and walked into the yard.

In fact, the black market also has regulations. As long as the transaction is made that night, no matter how many times it is done, only one fee will be charged.

This is because many sellers sell their goods in small quantities and in batches for safety reasons.

If they are charged every time, they will feel squeezed and stop coming.

This is also a method used by black market bosses to attract sellers. The more sellers have goods, the more people will buy them, and the more management fees they earn.

Moreover, when buying and selling things in the black market, many stalls are set up by the black market itself. So the more people there are in the black market, the better their business will be.

"Little brother, you are here, you are very fast!"
