Moonlight

Zhao Wenduo wandered from one end to the other, took a leisurely turn and reached the bottom of the bridge cave, looking around for a while.

Compared to the hustle and bustle in the market, it is a lot quieter here. There are no sight of groups of people calling for buying or selling. One or two of them like Xing Beng will look around, scheming and looking timid.

, you don’t need to look carefully to know that this person is doing something shady secretly.

There was a tense atmosphere everywhere in the place that was not too big, and the slightest movement could attract the attention of several pairs of eyes. When I saw a child over ten years old walking over, my heart gradually dropped.

Zhao Wenduo knew in his heart that this was where he was, so he was not in a hurry to ask anyone. He just found a place to squat down, touched a stone, and drew circles on the ice, as if he was just walking around.

A child playing.

There were people who were looking at her cautiously before, but after a while and no movement, they got bolder and started doing their 'business' again.

From time to time, there were people talking quietly to each other around. Zhao Wenduo lowered his head, which did not affect the sound of these sounds entering his ears. After a while, he figured out the route. Among these people, there were buyers and sellers, and food.

Most of them are fine grains and white noodles, which are in short supply, and meat, egg and oil are also popular. I also heard about the proportion of exchange purchases, so I have an idea.

"Hey, little girl, you're not here to play, are you? Do you have anything? Take it out and take a look at it?" A middle-aged woman touched the object and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Wenduo clapped his hands and stood up, looked around without any trace, and responded softly: "Well, there is something, but it's not oil." After searching around just now, this woman made several mistakes.

, all she asked about was soybean oil. She seemed to be a regular customer here, and several people were familiar with her. She should be the type of person who works as an intermediary to earn the price difference.

Upon hearing this, the woman knew that she had been listening to the corner for a long time, and she pursed her lips and said happily: "You are quite smart, you know how to explore the way first, and ask questions before you come up." If she really was that stupid guy.

They may not come over to talk to her. The talk of a careless little girl is probably unreliable. It would be uneconomical to sell her out accidentally.

Zhao Wenduo didn't answer, just looked at her.

This is a calculated decision, the woman said to herself, and then asked her: "Then what do you have?"

"Two rabbits and two pairs of pheasants."

"Oh, it's such a good thing!" the woman whispered, who wouldn't be hungry for meat?

"Then how do you want to sell it?"

Zhao Wenduo secretly calculated that pork now costs 50 cents per pound, and he still needs to pay for the meat coupons. The rabbit meat and chicken are delicious, but there is no fat. In comparison, pork is not as hungry as the pork, and the popularity is not that high, and

At this time, most people save money and don’t use it.

The seasonings and boiled game have a fishy smell and are much different in taste. They are eaten purely to fill the stomach. Combining these factors, plus the information just heard, the price is given: "A piece of rabbit,

Eight cents of pheasant, plus six taels of meat coupons."

"Rabbits cost one yuan. That's a bit expensive." The woman rolled her eyes and said, "A ready-made smoked rabbit only costs one yuan. You don't need to pay for it. The one you live here costs one yuan. That's okay."

It’s too expensive. How about we give you eight cents for the rabbit, seven cents for the pheasant, and two taels for the meat coupons? What do you think?”

Zhao Wenduo raised his eyelids and glanced at her: "Not for sale." She is so young and easy to fool. Can the cooked rabbits sold outside be sold for less than one yuan and two? Besides, the rabbits will die of illness if they can't be fed. No.

You know how long you've been hungry, but you're so skinny that it's all bones. How can it compare to the fat rabbit you just killed?

Besides, it’s not money to peel off the whole rabbit’s fur and sell it to the sales station. Isn’t that a lot of meat tickets for one tael? The price is definitely fair. This is a black market, and the buying and selling prices are set in all kinds of weird ways.

But don't be too different. No one is a fool. Do you really think that she doesn't know how to cheat?

The middle-aged woman was stunned by her decisive tone. The little girl was young but not easy to fool. I wanted to scare her with words, but after looking around, I couldn't find any traces of rabbits and pheasants.

The ground was also empty, and I knew this was the little girl.

He has a cautious temperament. Even though this is his first time showing up, he is quite knowledgeable about the things here. He has good stuff but doesn’t expose it. He starts by talking about behind-the-scenes transactions and doesn’t put things in front of his face. If the news comes out, it will be too late to run away.

, if you don’t get caught, you will definitely not admit it, and you won’t be able to trick anyone who has it.

Therefore, the person who comes here is Lao Shisheng. In addition to looking at the face, you can judge the identity simply by whether the hands are empty or not.

At first, I just thought that this little girl was calm enough to come over and ask, but I didn't take a closer look at whether her hands were empty. Now that I think about it, she really didn't carry anything. It was impossible to take something as big as a rabbit or a pheasant.

It's missing. It must have been hidden in a nook and cranny somewhere. It was only taken out when it was clear that there was no problem.

The woman knew that she couldn't take advantage anymore, so she was thinking about whether to buy the things at the price the little girl said. She had a few regular buyers with good conditions. She couldn't lose anything by taking them, but it was a pity to make less money.

.

Don't worry about selling good goods. This woman is not kind. Zhao Wenduo didn't want to talk to her anymore. He turned around and planned to see if anyone else was interested. As soon as he raised his foot, he was stopped by someone.

"Little girl, you have rabbits for sale. How much do I want to buy them?" A man wearing a dark blue cotton half-length jacket took two steps forward.

Zhao Wenduo raised his eyes and took a look. The man was in his thirties, wearing a pair of glasses. He looked quite elegant and looked like an intellectual. But this person is the most unpopular in this era, but look at his eyes.

This man dressed in attire does not seem to have suffered much, on the contrary

He was still alive and well, so he nodded immediately and said: "Just the price mentioned before." This man could speak aloud, and the meaning of his words was quite obvious. The conversation just now must have been the same.

I'll tell you 80% or 90% of the time, and asking again is just to make sure.

"Oh, no, we are just talking. How could you jump in line?" The middle-aged woman saw that the deal she had received was cut off. Naturally, she was not happy and stared at the man.

The man's attitude was quite good. He pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile: "Sister, look at what you said. You haven't made up your mind yet. If you really want to buy it, then I'll let you go first, okay?

"He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of courtesy.

"You——" The woman thought it was expensive if she wanted to buy it, but felt it was a pity if she didn't buy it. She hesitated for a moment and was stuck there.

"Sister, if you don't buy it, then I want it?" The man had already seen the woman's thoughts, smiled and said gently, turned to Zhao Wenduo and said: "Little girl, where is your rabbit?

, I want a few, take me there."

Most of the people who come here know the rules. They can make verbal transactions without carrying goods in their hands. It's not too late to find something after negotiating the price.

This time the woman didn't say anything to stop her. Although she was unwilling to do so, she was unwilling to pay for it. She really couldn't stop others from doing business anymore. She looked at the two of them with a gloomy face, snorted and turned to the side.

The trouble is gone.

Seeing that the other party did not negotiate a single cent of the price, Zhao Wenduo was quite sincere about the purchase. Zhao Wenduo stopped talking and led the man with glasses for a short distance along the ice by the river. When he encountered a row of poplar trees, he stopped.

A woven bag was pulled out from behind a dead tree stump, containing two rabbits and two pairs of pheasants that had been packed in advance.
