Chapter 30 - 30

Chapter 30 "Come on! Let me take you flying..."Time passed day by day, and soon it was harvest season. Harvesting is really tiring, so before the harvest, the Brigade Leader gave everyone two days off so that everyone could prepare what they needed to do and rest when they needed to.As for what to prepare, it's food, of course.In the past, before the autumn harvest each year, villagers, including the educated youth, would prepare some good things to nourish their bodies, otherwise their bodies would not be able to withstand the harvest.Yun Ting was lucky enough to hitch a ride with Yang Qingqing today, it was so great, she didn't have to squeeze onto a tractor." Yang Qingqing, come on, I'll ride, you just sit in the back." Yun Ting looked excited and eager to try.Yang Qingqing looked at her suspiciously, "Are you sure?""Absolutely! Don't worry, just watch what Sister Yun is capable of." Yun Ting patted her chest, full of confidence.Yun Ting hopped on her old-fashioned bicycle and slapped the back seat loudly: "Come on! I'll take you flying!" She had deliberately tucked the hem of her floral shirt into her blue trousers, and her two braids swung in lively arcs with her movements.Yang Qingqing hesitated for a moment before carefully moving her bottom onto the back seat."Hold on tight..." Yun Ting gritted his teeth and pedaled too hard, the bike lurched forward, hitting a clod of dirt in the middle of the road. The bike lurched violently, "Ah..."Yang Qingqing's heart tightened suddenly; a bad premonition...Sure enough... the front wheel suddenly got stuck in the gap of the drainage ditch, and the whole person fell forward.The bicycle and Yun Ting crashed onto a haystack by the roadside. Yun Ting's braids were disheveled like a bird's nest, and two tightly wrapped eggs rolled out of her canvas bag. Her basket flew to the side.Yang Qingqing had jumped off the bicycle before it tipped over, and now she was leisurely watching Yun Ting, a smile involuntarily creeping onto her lips.With her head covered in dry straw, Yun Ting, her face flushed, managed to stammer, "This...this is called the break-in period!" The sound of a tractor sputtering came from afar, and she quickly got up and fixed her hair.Image! We have to preserve it…"I'll ride it! I'm afraid we'll fall into the ditch.""Hey, Yang Qingqing, let me tell you, I was just testing the bike and getting a feel for it. It was a complete mistake. If you don't believe me, let me ride it again, and I definitely won't fall again."No matter how much she pleaded, Yang Qingqing refused to let her ride anymore.Yun Ting had no choice but to give up struggling and obediently sit in the back seat.Upon arriving in town, as usual, everyone parted ways.Dressed as a woman, Yun Ting skillfully made her way to the textile factory, Family Compound.Today, in addition to polished rice, she brought pears and red dates, along with 6 wild chickensand 4 wild rabbits.Recently, she went up the mountain and brought back a lot of wild chicken rabbits to put in her space. She has tested it and found that animals can be raised in the space. She has set aside a place in the space to raise wild chicken rabbits and will find an opportunity to raise some other animals later."Sister Yulan, are you home?"Zhou Yulan was at home, just about to leave for work at the factory, when she heard the voice and knew it was Yun Ting."Hey, I'm here? Little Sister, come quick.""Sis, I thought you went to work.""Almost there, I was just about to head out when you arrived. What did you bring this time? Why did it take you so long?" Zhou Yulan asked anxiously, looking for the basket on his back."This time it's still refined rice, but we don't have apples for the time being. We do have pears, which are juicy and sweet. We also have red dates, wild chicken, and wild rabbit.""Oh, finally some meat! Give me two wild chickens and one wild rabbit! Five pounds of polished rice, and four pears too.""Sis, wild chicken is 2 dollars a piece, wild rabbit is 4 dollars a piece, and pears are 60 cents each. Where does that old lady from last time live? She said she wanted some meat too. I wonder ifshe wants wild chicken or wild rabbit?"" Little Sister, I have to go to work now, so I might not be able to find someone to come over for you. If you trust me, leave your things with me, and I'll help you distribute them at noon. You can come and pick up the money at noon, or next time. Anyway, I won't take your hard-earned money for granted."After several interactions, Yun Ting naturally trusted her; otherwise, she wouldn't have associated with her. She had also inquired and learned that Zhou Yulan was an officer at a textile factory, and her husband was the workshop director at a steel plant. She believed that Zhou Yulan wouldn't be fooled by her simple-mindedness."Sis, I trusted you back then, so I'm really sorry to trouble you. I can take the money next time. By the way, how about this: I'll supply you with goods from now on and give you a 10-cent discount. You can resell them, and any extra profit is yours. How does that sound?"This was something she had considered long ago. That way, she wouldn't have to sell the goods herself. By developing more distributors, she could just focus on supplying the goods and collecting payments, hehe…Zhou Yulan hesitated, " Little Sister, I need to discuss this with my family.""Okay, no problem, let's go! You go to work, I'll go first too."She knew that Zhou Yulan was definitely interested, otherwise he would have rejected her outright instead of saying he wanted to discuss it.It's still early, let's go for a stroll in the black market.Walking to the corner of the alley, I moved some more goods out of my space, carried the basket on my back, headed to the black market entrance, paid a dime, and went inside.She looked around but didn't see Yang Qingqing, so she didn't know if she had left or hadn't come."Huh... isn't that Yin Jiao?" Yun Ting shook his head as he looked at the familiar face. This silly girl, she doesn't even know to wear a mask or anything when she comes to the black market, she just swaggered in like that, speechless.Yun Ting found a spot to squat down and opened a corner of her basket, which quickly attracted people. Rice and wild chicken /rabbit were the most popular items, while red dates and pears were not inquired about much. Indeed, these days, grains and meat are the most sought-after, and red dates and fruits are only for wealthy families who are willing to spend money on treats."Give me five catties of fine rice, one wild chicken, one wild rabbit, and four pears as well."Yin Jiao also came over.Yun Ting quoted them a price, and some people thought it was too expensive and didn't buy it, but it was still sold out in no time.Yin Jiao received the goods, paid, and left satisfied, completely unaware that Yun Ting was the one who had given him the money."Boss, our leader wants to talk to you," a henchman from the black market whispered inYun Ting's ear as she was about to leave."Alright, let's go!" Yun Ting had also thought of this. They should first see what kind of person the other party was before deciding whether to make the deal.Yun Ting's composure made the younger brother think to himself, "This older sister is really no ordinary person!"The younger brother led Yun Ting to a small courtyard behind the black market, where a middle-aged man was sitting at a table drinking tea. Hearing the noise, he looked at her.Both of them were secretly sizing each other up. The middle-aged man had a scar at the corner of his eye and looked a bit fierce with his serious expression, but Yun Ting felt that he had a sense of righteousness about him. Indeed, his upright posture made him look like someone who had served in the military.The middle-aged man sized up the woman in front of him and could tell at a glance that she was not that old, but a young woman. He couldn't help but feel that she was not simple.Hello, what's your name?"My surname is Qian.""My surname is Chen, you can call me Uncle Chen. How much of this quality do you have? Give it all to us, how about it? The price won't be low."Yun Ting understood immediately. The other party must have figured out her approximate real age, otherwise they wouldn't have asked her to call him "uncle." It seemed he was quite a formidable person." Uncle Chen, are you sure your little black market in town can handle all my goods?""Oh? How many do you have, young lady? Don't worry, I have people in the county and the city. I'll take as many as you have."
