Lin Yue didn't expect that he had just entered the black market and was already seen to be here for the first time, so he asked directly: "Boy, what is your name? How did you know that it was my first time here?"
Lin Yue thought that he had not shown any strange behavior, but the young man in front of him saw the details at a glance, and he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he failed to do a good job in some aspects?
The young man chuckled, scratched his head and said: "Hello, sir, my name is Zhao Yinglai. I am in poor health, so I can't work. I still have seriously ill parents at home who need to be taken care of. I have no choice but to take care of myself. If my health is not good, then I need to have something."
I have good eyesight. Even if I don't know these people in the market, I will still look familiar. You are a new face, and the badge on your chest is still new, so I will venture to guess that this is your first time here.
Little cleverness, not worth mentioning."
Lin Yue heard Zhao Yinglai's story and immediately became interested. He said to himself: "It is said that children from poor families have become masters early. Now it seems that an eight or nine-year-old child has such a strong vision and can speak well.
It’s really not simple.”
The so-called times make heroes, it’s not because we have no choice but to work hard. Although luck takes part of the credit, most of it is passive being swept up by the trend. If you don’t study hard and work hard, you will only be left behind.
The waves were swept away, so the worse the environment, the more people who refused to accept their fate appeared.
In the apocalypse, someone stands out and becomes the focus of everyone's attention, but these children can only act based on others' eyes. If there are naughty children again, everyone will not be used to it. If you dare to offend me, I'm sorry.
I'll give you a slap in the face. It's hard for naughty children to survive in this world.
The only ones who can survive are children like Zhao Yinglai, who are discerning, eloquent, sweet-mouthed, and never offend others.
"Uncle, if you are willing to hire me, you only need two taels of grain. The price is already very low!" Zhao Yinglai couldn't help it and continued to promote himself. In order to survive, being thick-skinned is what he has to do.
.
"Okay, come with me, but I'm going to give you a test, just tell me what the diamonds here are like?" Lin Yue was not polite, and took the young man directly with him, preparing to sell it on the black market.
Go shopping.
Lin Yue also solved a problem for Zhao Yinglai, which was to ask Zhao Yinglai to comment on a stall selling diamond rings next to him. At this stall selling diamond rings, the uncle also looked at Zhao Yinglai with an unkind expression. If Zhao Yinglai
If you dare to say that the diamond rings on the stall are not good, then the stall owner will definitely take action.
And Lin Yue did it on purpose. He wanted to see what this young man would say when faced with a dilemma.
Zhao Yinglai was indeed in a dilemma at this time. If he said that the diamond ring on this stall was good, then he would definitely please the stall owner. However, if the employer felt that he was talking too much and said the wrong thing, he would lose business, but
If it is said that the diamond rings on this stall are bad, then the stall owner will also hold a grudge against him, and he is likely to suffer retaliation in the future.
Faced with this dilemma, Zhao Yinglai had an idea and said: "Sir, please listen to me. Someone said in the last century that diamonds are forever, and a diamond will last forever. So diamonds must be good things, as this uncle said.
The quality of diamonds sold may also be guaranteed, but the preciousness of a thing is related to the times and environment. Nowadays, everyone is pursuing real gold and silver. Diamond rings, if you are willing to buy them, of course.
It's good, it can show your identity, but if you don't like it, it's just the contempt for diamond rings in this era."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Yinglai looked at Lin Yue with a smile. He had finished his ambiguous words. As for whether to buy or not to buy, he did not give any advice. The question of whether he should choose was sent back to Lin Yue unchanged.
Jumping hands.
When Lin Yue saw that this kid was indeed quite clever, he immediately laughed and said, "Take me to someone who sells information. It must be reliable."
Zhao Yinglai nodded quickly and bowed, saying: "Please come this way, just go forward, I will take you to find the seller right away."
After hearing what Zhao Yinglai had said before, the stall owner was not angry. Instead, he muttered in his heart, "Is it true that diamond rings are not valued in this era? But before, it was clear that diamond rings were not valued.
It’s valuable, a diamond ring costs three to four thousand, why can’t I sell it after I’ve collected so many genuine items?”
The stall owner is also a real person. He used to see many people buying diamond rings, and they often advertised them on TV, which made him really think that diamonds are valuable. After that, he discovered that many diamond rings in jewelry stores
The diamond ring was not taken away, so I immediately thought of selling the diamond ring.
It is a pity that diamonds are originally a fairy tale woven by capital. Through various hypes, the value of diamonds has been inflated. But in fact, diamonds can be synthesized artificially. Diamonds are simply carbon elements, artificial
Synthetic diamonds are purer than natural diamonds. After entering the market, many of them cannot be detected. Now that the apocalypse is coming, the price of diamonds has become slightly higher than the value of roadside stones.
Zhao Yinglai directly took Lin Yue to find a fortune teller here, and there were many people waiting around this fortune teller.
The fortune teller sat on the floor with a red cloth in front of him. On the red cloth there were yin and yang fish, gossip, and things like lottery buckets, cards, turtle shells, and copper coins. These decorations were just a disguise.
, because the people waiting around are not here to tell fortunes, but to wait for something.
The fortune teller quickly took out the paper from his body and gave it to several people who were watching. These people were also very sensible and did not open the paper in public. Instead, they left quickly, preparing to open it and watch it again when they got home.
At this time, Zhao Yinglai pulled Lin Yue's sleeve. Lin Yue quickly lowered his head. Zhao Yinglai whispered: "Write the information you need on paper and wait until the next day to pick it up at the market. If you find it,
If there is no news, we will not charge you any money, but if we find the news, we will charge you based on how valuable the news is."
Lin Yue saw that it was so troublesome to get accurate information in Yanjing. He couldn't help but be a little puzzled and asked directly: "Why is it so troublesome? There are still so many procedures to go through. What if he ran away the next day?
"
"This is a black market, so it won't be troublesome. If they are caught by the official eagle dog, they may not be able to be released. As for people, they will not run away. Otherwise, there will be no room for them in the black market in the future.
What's wrong!" Zhao Yinglai quickly explained that when doing business in the black market, you can't be careful.
Lin Yue thought about it. It was no big deal if he was caught fortune-telling. Fortune-telling is all about your own will. If you don't believe it, that's it. If you believe it, a few criticisms won't change anything. On the contrary, it's just trafficking.
If someone is caught with intelligence, the crime will be serious. If he is caught as a spy, he will be dealt with directly. The risk is really huge.
Next, Lin Yue immediately wrote down the required information on a piece of paper, that is, the news about He Kanwen, handed it to the fortune teller, and prepared to leave.
The fortune teller said calmly: "Please come back tomorrow to receive your comments. As for whether you will still be here tomorrow, please pay attention to the news from the market manager."
Lin Yue nodded and said, "I hope you can find the news I need. Goodbye!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Yue wanted to take a stroll on the black market. Zhao Yinglai spared no effort in introducing him. Lin Yue found that everything was sold in this black market, including guns and cold medicines.
I just picked it up and saw that it had expired two years ago.
But the stall owner said plausibly: "Although my medicines are all expired, they are still effective. Expiration does not mean they are useless. As long as they are not moldy or spoiled, they are edible. Sir, if you need them, I will
There are also isatis root granules here, they are only expired for one year, would you like to buy some?"
"I'm immune to all diseases, I don't need it anymore!" Lin Yue smiled and began to refuse.
It has to be said that there are many strange things on the black market. Some stalls specialize in animal skins for sale. Obviously, they have not mastered the tanning method and cannot make the animal skins into clothes. Otherwise, they would not sell the animals directly.
Skinned.
"How come there are still animal skins being sold on the black market? Can anyone still buy them?" Lin Yue asked in confusion.
Zhao Yinglai nodded and explained: "Of course there are people who buy it. Those manufacturers who make clothes are nothing. They buy animal skins at a low price, make them into clothes, and sell them at a high price. It can be said that hunters risk their lives to kill
After the mutated beast died, the skin could not be sold for a price, and ordinary people could not afford the finished clothes, so after buying them back at a suitable price on the black market, they could soften them with plant ash and keep them warm. No big deal.
Wrap it around your body and wear it like a bell."
The winter in the north is very cold, especially now that many places have no heating, so keeping warm is very important. However, the price of clothes made of animal skin is very high, and the manufacturers make a lot of money. Ordinary people
However, survival was a serious problem, so we had no choice but to buy animal skins on the black market and make our own clothes.
The so-called bell is also an elegant way of saying it. In fact, it is a piece of clothing that can be worn as a piece of clothing, but it has no buttons or zippers. It is just worn on the body. It is just like a bronze bell. The clothes are also called a bell.
Come on, if it's winter, you'd better tie it around the waist to prevent ventilation from going up and down.
Lin Yue suddenly realized, that's it. He had never seen such a scene in Yuzhou. After all, firewood can be burned in the south and there is water and electricity in Yuzhou, so heating in winter is no problem.
At this moment, a bald man held a hemp rope in his hand and walked past Lin Yue. At the other end of the hemp rope, there was a girl tied up. The girl was half-clothed and her hands and feet were directly exposed.
, there are also many patches on the body.
When Lin Yue passed by this girl, he was immediately stunned. How come this girl looked so much like the dead Fu Ya? No, I can't say they were similar, they were exactly the same!
However, Lin Yue knew that this girl was definitely not Fu Ya. When Fu Ya died, Lin Yue personally cremated her. The tomb was built outside Jiangyang City. It is impossible for people to resurrect after death. This woman and Fu Ya definitely had no relationship.
any relationship.
Zhao Yinglai was very good at observing people's emotions. When he saw Lin Yue looking at a girl who was being sold, he quickly introduced: "Sir, if you like this girl, you can go directly to negotiate the price and make a deal on the spot.
That’s fine. If you just want to play with it, it depends on whether the seller is willing.”
Hearing this, Lin Yue seemed to have heard something incredible. He frowned and asked, "Are you kidding? People can be bought and sold in Yanjing City?"
Zhao Yinglai lowered his voice and whispered: "Most of these people are voluntary, and they are trading on the black market, no one cares about it. Now the attention above is focused on the mutated beasts, and they will not be able to do it for a while."
I don’t care, many people are voluntarily sold to other places in order to treat their parents’ illnesses.”
Lin Yue's world view also changed at this time. He thought that since Yanjing is the territory of the headquarters and the capital, it must be glamorous and peaceful, but now Lin Yue suddenly discovered that Yuzhou seems to be very good, although it is
It's a bit poor, but at least the people at the bottom have food to eat, so it won't make people have no choice but to choose a desperate path.
Lin Yue knew that this girl was not Fu Ya, so he didn't want to worry too much. At this time, he also wanted to leave the black market and was ready to wait until the next day to get the news.
However, at this moment, Lin Yue saw the eyes of the girl in the distance. Her hair was messy, and her eyes reflected a look of hope. Her wrists were tied with hemp rope, and she could not move freely. Perhaps the hemp rope was too tight.
It's tight and the wrist area has become red.
