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

After saying goodbye to the old lady, Wen Li wandered around the black market again. Late at night, many people were selling pheasants and rabbits. When Wen Li saw the rabbits, she immediately thought of the taste of stir-fried rabbit pieces, and her mouth watered. Without thinking, she bought two rabbits.

There wasn't much meat on the rabbit, and the man selling it charged her eight yuan. Wen Li saw a pheasant next to it and bought it as well.

Two rabbits and one pheasant cost her a total of twelve yuan.

Wen Li also saw someone selling wild boar meat. She wasn't interested in the wild boar meat, so she was about to leave when she turned around and saw the male and female leads also setting up a stall in the corner.

Wen Li was quite confident in her disguise. She bent over and stepped forward. When she saw what was in front of them, Wen Li's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Before the two of them were a ginseng root that was about thirty years old and a he shou wu root that was about fifty years old.

If there weren't so many people around, Wen Li would have tried to snatch it. Ginseng was fine, but fifty-year-old wild Polygonum multiflorum was extremely rare, something you couldn't buy even if you had the money.

Wen Li remembers once going to an auction and encountering a 30-year-old wild Polygonum multiflorum, which was eventually auctioned off for 300,000 yuan.

"How much does this Polygonum multiflorum cost?"

Jiang Yue'er felt a sense of familiarity with the woman in front of her, but the light was too dim and Wen Li was backlit by the moonlight, so Jiang Yue'er could only see a blurry human figure.

"One hundred yuan!" Jiang Chen's family used to own a pharmacy, and he knew the prices of medicinal herbs, so he didn't arbitrarily raise prices like Jiang Yue'er.

One hundred yuan is a bit high, but not too high either, leaving room for negotiation.

Wen Li then pointed to the ginseng, "Where's the ginseng?"

"thirty!"

"I'll take both the ginseng and the he shou wu, 110 yuan each!"

"No, 130 is already very cheap!" Jiang Yue'er already felt that Jiang Chen's asking price was too low, and she became even more unhappy when Wen Li bargained.

Ignoring Jiang Yue'er, Wen Li went straight to Jiang Chen and asked, "Young man, what do you think?"

"My friend is right, 130 is the lowest price!"

When Wen Li saw the Polygonum multiflorum, she gritted her teeth and said, "One hundred and fifteen. If that's the price, I'll sell it. If it's higher, forget it. I'll just buy it from the hospital!"

Jiang Chen thought for a while. They had already asked at the hospital, and the ginseng and he shou wu together only cost one hundred yuan. They had been waiting at the black market for quite a while, and when someone asked about the price, Wen Li was the first person to bargain.

It was already eleven o'clock, and they couldn't waste any more time here, so they gritted their teeth and agreed.

"Can!"

Wen Li breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. She was really worried that Jiang Chen wouldn't sell it, and it would be such a pity to miss out!

Wen Li counted out 115 yuan and gave it to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen counted it once to make sure the money was correct before handing the items to her.

Wen Li put the items into her pocket, but actually put them into her spatial storage.

She took her things and left the black market.

She had just walked into an alley when the two people who had been watching her slowly appeared.

Wen Li had already noticed that someone was following her, but while she was inside, the two people only followed her from a distance. Now that she was out, although Wen Li didn't know their purpose, she wasn't afraid if a fight broke out, so she didn't bother to hide. She was confident she could handle the two of them.

Both men were very tall, and they didn't look like good people at all.

Wen Li leaned against the wall behind her, ready to take out the kitchen knife from her spatial storage at any moment.

Perhaps due to the tense atmosphere, one of the men quickly spoke up, "Auntie, don't be nervous, we mean no harm, we just wanted to ask if you still have rice and flour of the same quality as tonight!"

Seeing this, Wen Li nodded. "I do have the channels!"

The two were delighted, but fearing that Wen Li might misunderstand, they quickly explained.

"Auntie, our boss wants to talk to you. Don't worry, he's a black market boss; he just wants to discuss a partnership!"

Wen Li came to the black market tonight to lure out the person behind it. She originally thought she would have to come several times to succeed, but she was so lucky that she succeeded on the first try!

"lead the way!"

The two men were instantly impressed by Wen Li's calm demeanor. Most people would have been terrified and begged for mercy in front of them, but Wen Li remained composed. This aunt was indeed extraordinary!

Wen Li was unaware that her fearless demeanor had amplified the two men's respect for her. If she had known, she would have simply praised them for their vivid imaginations.

After following the two men through the winding alley for more than ten minutes, we finally arrived at a small courtyard.

The courtyard looked ordinary, just a typical residence, but once inside, you'd find several people lurking in the shadows.

In the quiet night, Wenli could even hear their breathing.

The two men led Wen Li into the living room, where an oil lamp was lit. There was a square table in the living room, on which were placed the rice and flour that Wen Li had sold that evening.

Inside, there were two men. Wen Li looked at the man in his late twenties sitting in the main seat. He had a well-defined profile and handsome features. He was a very upright man. If he went out, no one would think that he was the black market boss—Gu Huai, an important male supporting character in the book.

Gu Huai comes from a very powerful family, so no one knows why he came here to establish a black market. After Jiang Yue'er obtained the space, she has been cooperating with him. Gu Huai is also a very good partner. He is the only male supporting character in the original book who did not have any interaction with the original owner.

He is also the only male supporting character who doesn't like Jiang Yue'er. The two only have a simple working relationship, which is why Wen Li thought of cooperating with him.

Gu Huai smiled and gestured to the seats below, "Please sit down, ma'am. May I ask your name?"

Wen Li didn't stand on ceremony, putting her basket aside and sitting down. "My name is Zhang Cuihua, you can just call me Aunt Zhang!"

Gu Huai's lips twitched slightly as he poured her a cup of tea. "Try this tea!"

Wen Li gently pushed the teacup away. Although Gu Huai was a gentleman in the original book, who knows if reality deviates from the original story!

Just like the female lead, she is supposed to be a kind and resilient person, but in reality, she is a black-hearted lotus.

"It's getting late, so let's get straight to the point so as not to waste everyone's time!"

Wen Li's attitude instantly displeased the people on the left, but Gu Huai didn't speak or move, only staring intently at Wen Li.

Wen Li ignored his gaze and remained unmoved.

Gu Huai's lips curled into a faint smile. "Little girl, you have quite the nerve!"

Wen Li's pupils dilated in shock. How did he figure that out? Her expression faltered for a moment, but thankfully she was wearing a headscarf, or she would have made a fool of herself.

"Haha, young man, while I like it when people compliment me on looking young, this is way too much!"

Gu Huai gave her a meaningful look, his eyes seemingly filled with mockery. Wen Li, unwilling to reveal her identity, didn't press the matter further.

"It's alright, let's talk about these goods. How much more do you have on hand?"

When Wen Li saw that he was talking about serious matters, she also put aside those messy thoughts in her mind.

"Five hundred catties each!" Wen Li didn't reveal all her secrets; she needed to be cautious since it was their first collaboration.

Gu Huai was somewhat disappointed upon hearing the figures. "How about rice at three mao a jin, and flour at four mao?"
