Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 44 I want Xu Ye to have a taste of sweetness (please read later)

Zhang Sanbao took out a bag of newly bought red plums, opened it, took one and handed it to Xu Ye first.

Then, he took out a lighter and lit it for Xu Ye.

Xu Ye couldn't help but glance at Zhang Sanbao.

After a trip to the black market, you become free and easy?
Not only did you buy cigarettes, you also bought a lighter?

"This thing is really good. It will make it much more convenient to go into the mountains in the future." Zhang Sanbao lit a cigarette for himself with some pride.

Then he took out a few big unity notes from his pocket.

"Brother, the black market is really full of hidden talents and rich people."

"We sold the whole donkey for twenty dollars, and the man seemed to want to keep it."

"Huang Hu also asked for half a piece and took the root, and gave him twelve yuan."

"I sold the remaining half for nine dollars and sixty cents."

"Then I bought you a flashlight for three dollars, a kerosene lamp for one dollar and fifty cents, and two kilograms of kerosene for one dollar, a total of five dollars and fifty cents."

"As you said, I have divided the remaining money. This is for you and Sister Yue." After saying that, Zhang Sanbao handed the money to Xu Ye.

Xu Ye didn't expect that Zhang Sanbao went to the black market and sold it for 39.6.

He divided it in half which was 19.8, and after deducting 5.5 for shopping, he had 14.3 left.

Jiang Ruyue's score was 9.9, and Xu Ye counted it directly to her.

After all, she still has debts to pay.

"We sold a total of 92 yuan here, and this is your 23 yuan." After saying that, Xu Ye gave the money to Zhang Sanbao.

"How much?" Zhang Sanbao's breathing paused for a moment.

"The yellow tiger skin is quite valuable. The purchasing station offers 70 yuan. I hope we can get more." Xu Ye explained.

"Wow, seventy yuan, that's worth a lot of money." Zhang Sanbao's eyes almost popped out and he quickly put the money into his pocket.

I took a deep puff of the cigarette and felt it was more powerful than before.

After a trip to the black market, Zhang Sanbao's desire became a little inflated.

There were so many good things inside that it dazzled him.

If he had known that he could get 23 yuan, he would have spent all the yuan.

The joy of spending money is really refreshing.

Thinking of this, his eyes rolled.

"Brother, just now you said that Liu Quansheng has a watch. I actually saw someone selling it on the black market."

"I asked, and the watches range from 10 to 60 yuan, depending on their age. A lot of people buy them."

"Brother, how about I take you to see it?"

"We hunt a lot here, and it's really inconvenient to go into the mountains and not be able to check the time."

He can't afford the expensive ones, but if there are 10 yuan ones, he is still willing to spend the money to buy one.

Nowadays, if someone has a watch, he will definitely be the most handsome guy in the village, and all girls will look at him with admiration.

The attribute of showing off is slightly stronger than the attribute of telling time.

Xu Ye nodded, they really needed a watch.

If you can find a reliable one, that would be fine.

They are now in the county, and the probability of meeting acquaintances in the black market is very low.

When you get there, it will be safer if you cover your face with a handkerchief.

Many people at this time had handkerchiefs, which was a feature of this era.

Xu Ye also has one, which he can cover his face with by tying it with a rope.

"Okay, leave your things here with Sister Yue, and I'll go with you."

"See if there are any other good things to be found."

With four hunting dogs and a Hanyang rifle, Jiang Ruyue would not be robbed.

Zhang Sanbao liked Xu Ye's decisiveness and happily took Xu Ye straight to the black market.

After turning around a few times, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.

It's very lively here, with many stalls and people selling food and drinks, creating a thriving scene.

Many people covered their faces, obviously not wanting to be recognized.

"Today is the black market fair, so it's quite lively. Usually there are fewer people." Zhang Sanbao said as he learned and practiced.

He only found out about this when he came in the morning. The main products sold were agricultural products and mountain products, as well as some handicrafts.

It was a dazzling array for Zhang Sanbao, but it was just so-so for Xu Ye.

After all, the variety of things in a small supermarket in later generations is much richer than that of the goods on the black market.

Led by Zhang Sanbao, they came to the stall of a middle-aged man.

He also wore a gauze mask, which looked much more professional than those who just covered their faces with cloth.

There were only three watches left on the stall, one of which was a pocket watch.

"Brother, do you have any ten-yuan ones?" Zhang Sanbao asked directly.

"No, the cheapest one is 16." The boss pointed to a watch with a scratched dial.

"What about this piece?" Zhang Sanbao asked, pointing to another piece.

"This one is in good condition, but has a few scratches on the surface. It costs 40."

Then Zhang Sanbao became desperate because this was not something he could consume.

As for pocket watches, he had no interest in them.

"Boss, can I take a look at your pocket watch?" Xu Ye asked.

The other party took the watch and handed it to Xu Ye.

Xu Ye took a look and found that the pocket watch was in good condition. It had some wear and tear, but the watch glass was well protected, which was within an acceptable range.

"How much is this?" Xu Ye asked directly.

"A brand new one would cost 120, and you need a ticket, but mine is only 28, which is a good deal."

It is not convenient to show off a pocket watch all the time, nor is it convenient to hang it directly around the neck for people to see.

So although its quality is good, no one wants it.

Those people would rather buy a watch that is in a lower quality condition and worn on their wrist than a pocket watch.

Originally, he sold it for 35, but now the price has been greatly reduced.

"Can I open the back cover and take a look at the movement?" Xu Ye asked.

The other party hesitated for a moment, agreed to Xu Ye's request, and handed Xu Ye a razor blade.

“The watches I sell have absolutely no quality issues and are guaranteed to arrive on time,” the man said confidently.

Xu Ye opened it and took a look. There was nothing wrong with it, but there were signs of maintenance.

Obviously, this watch was refurbished and then sold.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be sold for 28.

The other party is very confident in his own skills.

After closing the back cover, Xu Ye took out 28 yuan and handed it to the other party.

With this pocket watch, he can know the exact time, which is much more convenient.

"Boss, will there be more in the future?"

Zhang Sanbao decided to come again next time. The 16-lens camera was badly worn out and it was difficult to tell the time, so he might as well not buy it.

"Of course, I'll come again at the next big fair."

Zhang Sanbao thought that Xu Ye already had a pocket watch that could tell time, so it would be okay for him to buy one later.

So the two men left the stall and prepared to leave the black market.

Xu Ye had no interest in other things, but Zhang Sanbao wanted to save money to buy a good watch.

The two of them didn't waste any time and went straight back to the pavilion to reunite with Jiang Ruyue.

Jiang Ruyue took Xu Ye's pocket watch and played with it for a while, and it was obvious that she liked it very much.

Watches are definitely fashionable nowadays, and countless young men and women want to own a watch of their own.

Jiang Ruyue prefers pocket watches to wristwatches, as she thinks they are artistic and low-key.

What Jiang Ruyue didn't expect was that Xu Ye asked her to keep the pocket watch.

He said that he was careless and might have lost his pocket watch.

She knew that Xu Ye said that on purpose because he saw that she liked him.

She really wanted to repay Xu Ye's kindness with all her strength.

She secretly decided that she would let Xu Ye have a taste of the sweetness today no matter what.
