1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 584 Black Market II

The man didn't explain much, only saying, "I found them in the mountains. They were a bit old, so I just picked them and brought them over."

Upon hearing this, he asked, "Besides this, what else do you have?"

The man didn't look up again, but took a paper package out of the basket on his back: "The rest have all been sold. Besides these ferns, this is all that's left."

As he spoke, he opened it.

Chu Xue's eyes lit up as she saw what was inside, and she whispered, "This...this is a ginseng seed?"

The man was surprised that the woman in front of him knew her, and nodded slightly, saying, "Yes."

I collected these a long time ago and brought them with me this time, thinking that if someone wanted them, it would be some income: "Want some?"

First Snow tried to appear calm: "How much?"

Chu Xue glanced at the things on the ground: "Including these old ferns, name your price. If it's reasonable, I'll take them all."

The man was an honest fellow. He removed the cover from the basket so that Chuxue could see the ferns inside: "How about three yuan in total?"

Chu Xue didn't try to bargain. Although there were only a few ginseng seeds, and the man might not have thought they were that valuable, they were something she could only dream of. With her spatial ability, she wasn't worried about them not surviving.

The man was clearly very satisfied.

Chu Xue wanted those bracken ferns because she knew that bracken ferns reproduce through spores, and spores usually grow in sporangia on the back of the bracken fronds. By the end of September, the bracken ferns had passed their peak growing season, and the sporangia would release spore powder. She thought she would try to peel open those unopened sporangia to see if she could get spore powder. If she could, maybe she could achieve bracken fern freedom in the future.

Of course, the main thing I really wanted was those ginseng seeds.

Further on, they didn't find anything they wanted, but for those few ginseng seeds alone, the trip to the black market wasn't in vain.

She focused her attention and headed towards the exit, where there were also guards, just in case there was a surprise inspection, they would give a signal in advance.

Thinking of the fish and grains in her space, Chu Xue walked over to one of them and asked, "Do you need any fresh fish?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the person to hear clearly.

The man glanced at her: "How much do you have?"

Chu Xue thought that they would be leaving Harbin by the day after tomorrow at the latest. Although there was the Songhua River here, the price might not be as good as in Beijing. But once she sold this batch, she could just pack up and leave, which would be relatively less risky: "Three thousand catties of fresh fish."

Upon hearing this, the man seemed somewhat skeptical: "Are you sure?"

First Snow nodded: "Confirmed."

The man couldn't make the decision: "Please wait a moment."

He then said to another companion, "I'll go for a bit."

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

About ten minutes later, the man rushed back: "Come with me."

Chu Xue wasn't afraid, after all, she had her own skills and wasn't afraid of them playing tricks.

After several twists and turns, we entered a small courtyard, where a burly, dark-faced man sat under a red maple tree.

The man who led the way stepped forward and introduced, "Boss, this is the woman I was talking about."

The dark-faced man looked Chu Xue up and down: "Do you really have that many fish?" Chu Xue didn't want to waste words with him, so she put down the basket and took out the fish that she had specially moved out of her space. Of course, she had already tampered with them when she took them out; the fish were dead, but they looked very fresh: "All the fish I have are over three pounds each."

The dark-faced leader sat up and went to check the fish in the basket on his back.

Seeing that the fish were indeed as Chu Xue had said, large in size and fresh, he asked Chu Xue again, "Are you sure you can provide three thousand catties of fish of this quality?"

First Snow nodded. "Agreed."

The man was quite decisive: "Okay, I'll take them all. Where are the goods?"

After all, this is not like other things, which lose their freshness over time.

The reason he dared to eat 3,000 catties of fish in one go was because the National Day holiday was just around the corner, and the major factories in the city naturally wanted to provide some benefits for their employees, so the demand was naturally high. In the past few days, many people with connections had approached him, wanting his help.

Just when you're about to fall asleep, a pillow appears.

Chu Xue was surprised that this person was so straightforward. She had come with a purpose, so she had naturally paid attention to this area beforehand: "Do you know about the area not far from the riverbank up ahead, where there are several houses with severely collapsed courtyards?"

As soon as she mentioned the big man, she knew what she was talking about: "I know."

The man glanced at Chu Xue and thought: I didn't expect this woman to be so bold and meticulous. That place is indeed not easy to be discovered, and it's not far from here. Most importantly, it can be entered by car, making it convenient to transport the goods: "Okay, when can I go to see the goods?"

Chu Xue thought for a moment and said, "You can go over in an hour, but we need to discuss the price before you go."

The man nodded: "Of course, but different varieties have different prices. If your fish can all reach this quality, I will give you the highest purchase price for similar fish."

There weren't any particularly valuable fish here at Chuxue. After looking at the fish in her basket, the man gave her 80 cents for the blackfish and 60 cents for the other fish.

To be honest, this price is already quite generous, considering that tonight's fish really doesn't fetch a high price these days, and most people still prefer to eat meat.

After agreeing on the price, Chuxue told them that they would bring their own fish container and then left first.

She only used her mental power to scan the courtyard when she came over; she still needed to go and deal with it as soon as possible.

About ten minutes later, she arrived at the location. Half of the wall of the innermost courtyard had collapsed, but the houses inside were still relatively intact.

I found a secluded and fairly clean house and decided to stay there.

Things went so smoothly, she thought. After the transaction was over, she would go to the riverbank and see if she could collect some river fish to put into her space. That would be the best thing ever.

They acted quickly and arrived at the destination on time.

After hearing the commotion, Chu Xue used her spiritual power to look outside and, after confirming that the dark-faced leader wasn't playing any tricks, released the prepared fish directly.

After bringing the people in from outside, he said, "All the goods are here, absolutely fresh."

Although it's not river fish, since it's produced in this space, the quality is naturally excellent, definitely no worse than fish pulled from the river.

So after inspecting the goods, the dark-faced man assumed it was river fish.

After confirming that everything was in order, he waved his hand and told everyone to get weighed quickly.

With many hands making light work, the fish were weighed quickly. The black carp weighed 2,000 jin, and the other fish weighed 1,500 jin in total, bringing the total to 2,500 yuan.

The dark-faced boss probably thought there would be opportunities for future transactions, so in addition to the money, he also gave Chuxue a small box of jewelry: "These aren't worth much, just consider it a token of our appreciation. If you have any more goods to send, just let us know."

Chu Xue naturally agreed with a smile, and after the money and goods were settled, she quickly left the place.
