Chapter 144 Black Market Storm

After finishing the meal and bidding farewell to the deaf old lady and Shazhu’s siblings who had rekindled their hope, Zhang Xingwang’s family finally calmed down. It had been a busy day.

The house was quite lively. Although Zhang Xingwang was not in a good mood today, after his aunt's family came, he was quite fascinated by the family atmosphere and the lively atmosphere.

I was thinking that when the Chinese New Year comes, the whole family could get together, the older generation would chat, the aunts would talk about family matters, the younger generation would do some entertainment activities together, and with a few cute kids running around, it would be so much better than watching parties and commercials alone in front of the computer in the future.

Anyway, the relationship among this family is pretty good, and there's nothing dirty going on. So, we can catch a wild boar and have a good meal with it, and have a good and prosperous New Year, and experience a life of lying down and sleeping after eating.

I guess everyone except my uncle will be very happy, this is a bit of a festive atmosphere, but I guess the old man's house can't accommodate so many people. No matter what others think, in Zhang Xingwang's opinion, it is really comfortable to celebrate the New Year like this. Living according to your own ideas is more comfortable than doing anything else. It seems that in order to achieve this goal, you have to go to the Northeast as soon as possible.

When it was late at night, Zhang Xingwang set out to the black market to get some fine grains. After all, he couldn't stand eating two-grain steamed buns every day. It would be good to exchange more to improve his life. The main thing was that he remembered the white noodles that his grandmother had eaten last time. He had to get more at all costs and make fried meat noodles at home to let the sisters broaden their horizons.

All the way to the black market, they were indeed professionals. A group of people were sneaking around in a hurry. In addition, it was a dark and windy day, so the atmosphere of the ghost market was very strong. However, Zhang Xingwang just sighed. With this atmosphere, if the Third Master were here, he would probably be able to pose in eighteen different ways.

He greeted the old man at the door, but he didn't remember him at all. He still looked lazy and spineless, without even looking at him. He walked in and found the sloppy guy with a wild way. He chatted with him for a few words and then walked to the wall together.

In the middle, I also saw the guy who bought a watch from me last time. I guess he hasn’t sold the remaining watch yet. He is still looking around and waiting for someone to come.

After he and his elder brother reached the wall, Zhang Xingwang asked his elder brother directly if he had any fine grains or food coupons. The elder brother smiled and said, "You have found the right person."

"Flour is 90 cents, rice is 85 cents, how much do you want?"

Zhang Xingwang thought about it and thought, wasn't it only 40 cents last time? It seems that it has increased so much. But now he is a fool with a lot of money, so he nodded in agreement. He said arrogantly:

"As much as you want!"

The eldest brother was also stunned. Without saying anything, he waved his hand towards the dark alley nearby. After a while, the two men came over, still with bulges on their waists. When they came over, they untied the bags at the eldest brother's signal. The eldest brother shone a flashlight into the bag and signaled Zhang Xingwang to come over to check the goods.

Zhang Xingwang I thought it was fortunate that these two guys didn’t have a strong body odor, and they knew to take a shower except when it rained, otherwise I wouldn’t have bought anything. When I got closer, I saw that although it was a bit expensive, the quality was indeed much better than last time, there was no comparison at all.

He nodded in approval. Maybe the quantity this time was larger, so the two guys took out a small scale and weighed it for Zhang Xingwang on the spot. Zhang Xingwang called it a professional.

白面一共25斤，大米33斤。总共50块5毛5。给了钱后大哥也是高兴的还给他发了根烟。

Then Zhang Xingwang asked his eldest brother if he had the national food coupons. After hearing this, his eldest brother shook his head regretfully and said that it would take a few days and asked him to go to the front to check.

After saying goodbye to the wild brother, I found a secluded place to store the food, and then continued to stroll forward. I asked several people but no one knew about the food coupons.

When he was about to go back disappointed, he saw a man with shifty eyes, half of his face covered, leaning forward and waving at him.

After a careful look, although the other party had covered their faces, they were obviously covering the wrong place. Most people covered their faces from below the eyes to the chin.

He had his forehead and eyes covered, hastily made two holes in his eye sockets, and carried a small bag on his back, looking like a Ninja Turtle.

This guy was still wearing his brand new work uniform, afraid that acquaintances wouldn't recognize him and would obviously be a rookie like him.

Zhang Xingwang then felt relieved and followed the big brother of the divine turtle to a corner. The other party was also impatient and spoke directly in a low voice:

"Brother, do you want food stamps?"

Judging from his voice, he seemed to be quite young, no wonder he could package himself like this. Zhang Xingwang suppressed his laughter and replied:

"I want the national one, do you have it?"

When the tortoise brother heard this, his face was so smiling that he almost broke the blindfold. He quickly sorted out the bills and handed them to Zhang Xingwang, saying:

"I have everything here, all good stuff, take a look and see what else you want."

Zhang Xingwang took the ticket stupidly, looking at the expectant brother, thinking, is it so careless? Just handed it to me? Just when he was about to take it and take a closer look, he suddenly heard a voice nearby saying "Run", followed by footsteps and "Don't move".

Zhang Xingwang thought that it was the constable (for the sake of harmony and stability, everyone should bear with it) who came to arrest someone. He was just about to return the ticket to the other party and run away, but who knew that the other party had already run away. He could vaguely see that the other party threw down the bag on his back.

Zhang Xingwang thought about it, then quickly ran over to put the bag into the space, and also put the odds and ends in his pocket into the space.

Just when he was about to run away, he saw the wild brother running towards him in a panic, and gestured to Zhang Xingwang to get out of the way.

Zhang Xingwang thought that his pockets were cleaner than his face and there was nothing to be afraid of. If he could run away, it would be fine. But if he couldn't run away and was caught, he might be pinned to the ground and rubbed for nothing.

He stepped aside a few steps to let the eldest brother run away smoothly. Looking at the eldest brother passing by, Zhang Xingwang suddenly had an idea and charged at the eldest brother.

Then, as if they had discovered the true purpose of the space, the eldest brother's coat disappeared in an instant, leaving only a vest clinging to his body.

The eldest brother felt a chill on his upper body, touched himself, and then looked around in panic at the dark surroundings, and ran faster with a start. It was probably because the weight was lightened.

Zhang Xingwang was still waving his hand at his elder brother with a confused look on his face, and the next second he watched his elder brother being pinned to the ground by several dark shadows that suddenly appeared, and he fell badly.
