The Courtyard House: The story begins with He Yuzhu beating up the White Widow.
Chapter 250 He Yuzhu Buys Receipts on the Black Market
He Daqing asked, "How much stuff did you bring back this time?!"
He Yuzhu said, "Dad, don't ask anymore! This is a centralized procurement by higher authorities, it has nothing to do with us. Even if you talk to Li Huaide, he wouldn't dare to touch those things."
He Daqing said, "I was just asking."
He Yuzhu said, "Dad, there are some things we should keep to ourselves. There's no need to let everyone know."
"Your father isn't illiterate. Even if you don't say it, I know what's going on!" With that, He Daqing saw He Yuzhu ladling vegetables from the pot and jokingly said, "Your vegetables are really tough, aren't they?!"
He Yuzhu asked, "Dad, would you like to have something to eat with me?"
He Daqing thought for a moment and then agreed, "Alright! I'll have some!"
He Yuzhu said, "I still have a bottle of good wine. Let's have a drink, you and me!" After saying that, He Yuzhu put the dishes on the table, then went back into the house to get a jar of old Fenjiu liquor and returned to the kitchen to eat with He Daqing.
After a couple of drinks, He Daqing ate some seafood and felt incredibly happy! He chatted with He Yuzhu for a bit before going back to his room to sleep.
After dinner, He Yuzhu cleaned the table. She quickly washed up and went back to her room to sleep. She probably ate too much. Lying in bed, she couldn't fall asleep. She lay there until midnight, then gritted her teeth, got out of bed, took out some cosmetics from her storage space, put on makeup, then donned a beggar's outfit and quietly went out.
Half an hour later, He Yuzhu arrived near Dongzhimen. He put his bicycle into his spatial storage, then took out a large handkerchief and covered half of his face before walking towards the black market not far away.
"Buy or sell?!" He Yuzhu was blocked by two people as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the alley where the black market was located.
He Yuzhu replied, "Buy!"
"Go in! Know the rules! Run when you hear the whistle, or you'll end up risking your life for your loot!"
"Okay!" He Yuzhu nodded and walked into the alley.
The black market was situated in a network of interconnected alleyways. Each entrance was guarded. Buyers received no money, while sellers were charged a dime as a fee for their work as lookouts and lookouts. He Yuzhu wandered around the black market and finally found a ticket scalper at a corner.
The ticket scalper saw He Yuzhu and asked, "What kind of tickets do you want?!"
He Yuzhu said, "I want cotton coupons, cloth coupons, national grain coupons, tobacco and alcohol coupons, sugar coupons, and industrial coupons. But don't try to fool me with coupons that are about to expire."
Upon hearing this, the ticket scalper realized this was a big customer! His face immediately lit up with joy. He said, "Don't worry! I definitely won't cheat you!" With that, he pulled a stack of tickets from his pocket and, by the moonlight, deftly counted out the tickets He Yuzhu wanted, saying, "All the tickets you want are here. One hundred and fifty yuan a day, take them all."
He Yuzhu took the tickets, counted them, and without further ado, pulled out fifteen 10-yuan bills and handed them to the ticket scalper, asking, "Where can I find you for tickets in the future?!"
While counting his money, the ticket scalper replied, "During the day, go to the alley next to the Beixinqiao Consignment Shop and find me. Tell them you're looking for Fatty Cheng; everyone there knows I'm there."
"I've got it!" He Yuzhu then added, "You'd better take more of those tickets I just asked for."
The ticket scalper pocketed the money and said, "Don't worry, friend! Next time you come, I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied!"
He Yuzhu put away the ticket and, without lingering, headed towards the other exit of the black market. Just as He Yuzhu was about to leave, a whistle suddenly sounded. He Yuzhu frowned slightly and immediately found a secluded spot to hide. About half an hour later, most of the people in the black market had left. A group of people dressed in police and auxiliary police uniforms ran into the black market. One of them looked at the scattered items on the ground and said with dissatisfaction, "Brother Lu, could it be that we went too far the last few times? Did those people get trained?! There's not much left in the black market today!"
The leader, called Brother Lu, said, "Even if it's not much, it's still something! Tell everyone to hurry up and pack it up. Otherwise, we'll be in trouble if Tang Kaishan and his men realize what's happening!"
As the group left the black market with their goods, He Yuzhu quietly followed them. Presumably, these people were afraid of retaliation from the black market operators, so they were extremely cautious after leaving, even sending someone to clean up any traces. He Yuzhu followed them for over half an hour, until they reached the area outside the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill where cement pipes were stored. Watching the group enter a warehouse, He Yuzhu's brow furrowed involuntarily. He thought to himself, "Could these people be connected to the steel rolling mill?!" Driven by curiosity, He Yuzhu quietly approached the warehouse.
Once outside the warehouse, He Yuzhu looked around, took two steps back, and with a powerful leap, grabbed the eaves of the warehouse and climbed onto the roof. Then, he carefully lifted two tiles and peered into the warehouse, where he saw more than a dozen people sitting together, with tonight's "spoils" in the center.
"Brother Lu, what we got today is less than half of what we had half a month ago. The profits are dwindling. Should we try another black market?!"
Brother Lu said, "I'd like to try somewhere else too. But nowhere else is as good as this place to start."
"Brother Lu, if we keep doing this, we'll get caught sooner or later. I think we might as well set up our own black market."
Brother Lu chuckled and said, "Running your own black market is easier said than done! Putting aside everything else, just getting the goods is a challenge."
"My brother works as a purchasing agent at a steel rolling mill. I heard him say that his factory is planning to go to Tianjin to purchase seafood. I think we can do this business."
After thinking for a moment, Brother Lu asked, "Do you know when your brother's factory goes to buy seafood?!"
"I'm not sure about that, I need to go back and ask my brother."
Brother Lu hurriedly said, "Tell me the exact time. Let's do something big. After this, we'll take a good rest!"
He Yuzhu, who was eavesdropping from the rooftop, listened to the conversation inside the warehouse and thought to himself, "These people can't be allowed to live! They'll only cause trouble if they stay!" He then released his divine sense and quickly detected that the steel mill's security patrol team and the street office's joint defense team were approaching the warehouse. He Yuzhu immediately cleaned up his tracks, took out an unregistered gun from his spatial storage, fired two shots into the air, and then quickly retreated into his spatial storage.
Upon hearing the gunshots, the joint defense team and the patrol team from the steel mill's security department immediately ran towards the warehouse. They ran right into the people running out of the warehouse. With He Yuzhu, the sixth brother, secretly helping them, none of the people who ran out of the warehouse escaped; they were all caught.
