1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

After having a simple lunch, Wen Li rode her bicycle out of the educated youth compound.

As soon as Wen Li left, a pair of sinister eyes appeared behind her, sending chills down her spine even in the middle of summer!

Wen Li turned around as if sensing something, but found nothing. She curled her lips and thought, "Just a rat in the gutter!"

Once she left the village, she headed straight for the commune. The sun was high in the sky, and most people were taking their afternoon nap. She didn't encounter anyone along the way.

When they were almost at the commune, she put the bicycle into her storage space.

First, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities, as well as things that Chen Yan and Qi Jun needed. Wen Li also bought various grain seeds. After buying everything, the basket was almost full.

She went to the meat stall and found that there was nothing left. Wen Li had no choice but to leave the supply and marketing cooperative.

It must be said that the supply and marketing cooperatives of that era had a more complete selection of goods than modern supermarkets, with a wide variety of items. As long as you had money and coupons, you could buy anything.

After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, she wandered around the commune again, mainly looking for the location of the black market. She still had more than 600 yuan in her hand, which made her feel very insecure, so she had to find a way to make money!

Perhaps it was because of the wrong time, she searched for a long time but couldn't find the entrance to the black market. She wasn't discouraged, though, and just treated it as getting familiar with the commune.

As it approached four o'clock and she was about to head back, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure disappearing into an alley!

Wen Li's eyes lit up. Although the person's head was covered, she recognized the clothes. It was undoubtedly the female lead!

She quickly entered a deserted alley, slipped into her spatial dimension, and hurriedly took out several clothes she rarely wore to change into. She then covered her head, blackened her exposed skin, and only left the spatial dimension after confirming that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her.

When she reappeared, she had become a woman with a slightly hunched back!

Upon entering the alley, Wen Li keenly noticed that someone was intentionally or unintentionally observing her from the shadows. She pretended not to notice and walked straight in.

There were two young men with cigarettes in their mouths guarding the entrance. They were both wary when they saw the unfamiliar face.

"Buy or sell?"

"purchase!"

"One cent!"

Wen Li took out a dime and handed it to the man, then smoothly entered an alley.

At the end of the alley was an open space, surrounded by a maze of alleyways.

There weren't many people inside; most were sellers. Everyone was very quiet, and even when making a transaction, they would either use hand gestures or whisper to each other.

Wen Li couldn't see the female lead sitting there calmly setting up her stall, surrounded by several people, most of whom were just observing and had no intention of buying. Curious, Wen Li walked closer and discovered that the female lead was selling a ginseng that was about twenty years old.

Moreover, the ginseng still had some wet soil on it, which showed that it had just been dug up recently!

Wen Li's lips twitched. She really is a lucky charm heroine!

She can reap rewards with just a casual trip up the mountain. The ginseng on that mountain seems to have grown specifically for her. She can dig up ginseng every now and then. It's truly infuriating to compare yourself to others!

Despite feeling a pang of sadness, Wen Li's feet betrayed her as she stepped forward. "How much?"

Jiang Yue'er felt smug when she saw her aunt suddenly appear. She knew that with her luck, she would be able to sell the ginseng soon. And here she was.

"Auntie, I see you really want it, just give me a hundred yuan!"

When everyone heard the price, they thought the girl was crazy. The older the ginseng, the higher its medicinal value. What could a 20-year-old ginseng do?

That's outrageous!

Wen Li's lips twitched, inwardly cursing the female lead for being heartless. These days, a fifty-year-old ginseng would only sell for a little over a hundred yuan, while her twenty-year-old ginseng had several broken roots, yet this person dared to ask for such a high price.

"Two yuan!"

Jiang Yue'er's smile gradually froze. "Auntie, you must be joking! This is ginseng!"

"Then why are you joking with me?" Wen Li glanced at her sideways, then rolled her eyes. "A fifty-year-old ginseng only sells for a hundred or so yuan. Your ginseng is at most twenty years old, and so many of its roots are broken. You still dare to sell it for a hundred? Why don't you just rob someone?"

Jiang Yue'er was embarrassed by Wen Li's retort. In the past, when she went out to sell things, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, people would buy without haggling. What was wrong with this person today?

The people surrounding them agreed with Wen Li and began to chirp softly.

Wen Li was worried that the female lead wouldn't sell it. The ginseng was fresh, and she was even planning to plant it in her space to try it out. She couldn't let the female lead run away.

So he offered another price, "Twenty, will you sell?"

Jiang Yue'er simply turned her head away and ignored Wen Li. She had finally managed to dig up the ginseng, and she wanted to buy it for twenty yuan? Did she think she was a fool?

"Young lady, twenty yuan is about right for your ginseng. Don't scare away the customers!" one of the old men kindly advised.

Jiang Yue'er coldly replied, "Not for sale!"

"Hey, girl, how can you not appreciate kindness?"

Wen Li didn't indulge her. If she didn't want to sell, she didn't want to sell. She could always try her luck in the deep mountains. Maybe she would get lucky!

When Wen Li left, everyone dispersed, leaving Jiang Yue'er sitting there all alone.

Wen Li went to the chicken stall again. An uncle was carrying an old hen, and there was a basket of eggs next to him.

"Uncle, this hen still has eggs, how much?"

The uncle made a gesture: eggs are six cents each, and hens are one dollar and thirteen cents a pound!

Things are more expensive on the black market than outside, since you don't need coupons to buy things on the black market, but the prices are still a bit high.

"Eggs are five cents each, I'll take the whole basket! And old hens are one dollar and twenty cents a pound, I'll take those too!"

The uncle thought about it for a while and finally nodded in agreement. He had about seventy or eighty eggs in his basket. If he sold them slowly, he might not be able to sell them all today. It would be best to buy them all at once.

"There are 79 eggs in total, which cost 3.95 yuan. The old hen weighs 4.3 jin (approximately 2.5 kg) and costs 1.16 yuan. That's 9.11 yuan in total. Just give me 9.10 yuan!"

Wen Li paid the money readily, and the uncle gave her the basket along with it.

After buying the chicken, Wen Li wandered around the black market and found that there wasn't a single vegetable vendor. Wen Li had originally thought of taking out the vegetables from her spatial storage to try selling them, but it seemed that selling vegetables wouldn't work!

Alright, let's wait until we get back and plant the grain seeds before we talk about it!

She bought a few more pounds of flour and planned to leave the black market. Before leaving, she took a special look at the female protagonist's stall, where the ginseng was still unsold.

Their eyes met, and the female lead's eyes revealed a hint of disgust. Wen Li was speechless. Wasn't this female lead being a little too petty?

She was the one who made an outrageous demand, yet she blamed herself?

What's the logic behind this?
