Siheyuan: Give me incredible understanding but not knowledge

Chapter 238 The black market takes action
"Mom, do you want to spend money?"

"otherwise……"

Jia Dongxu hesitated for a moment. In fact, his salary is not very much. It is good to be able to maintain a small family.

But looking at Jia Zhang's appearance, I felt bad in my heart.

Anyway, at least at this moment, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

It's the guilt for Lao Jia.

But what he is considering is, if he gives money to Jia Zhang, how much should be appropriate for this matter.

"Otherwise, I'll give you one dollar a month, and you can use it first."

"You also know that I am no better than my father now, my salary is only so much, and there are still some bad jokes in the family."

When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard this, she didn't want to listen anymore. To put it bluntly, didn't she have much money to give her?
One yuan a month was not even enough for her to take medicine. Since Lao Jia passed away, she felt pain all over her body.

I also cursed secretly in my heart, why did I start it like this when I have nothing to do.

"Why don't you and I go to the black market? I probably know where they sell it."

Fortunately, it was Jia Dongxu's mother, otherwise he would have picked up the hoe and hit Jia Zhang twice before he felt relieved.

Then I went to the hospital and was prescribed some painkillers, eh!
It's really good. After eating it, I feel much better all over and there's no pain or soreness at all.

"Isn't it okay if no one knows about it? How many people are doing this now. As long as they don't do it every day, the police won't embarrass us even if they are caught."

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he looked outside and looked at Jia Zhang with some hesitation, but he thought he would only give one yuan.

That is to say, on New Year's Eve, one light must be turned on.

But the most basic rules and regulations cannot be broken, so this method needs to be adopted.

There were no lights on inside the house, only a corridor light was lit in the yard outside the house, which belonged to the uncle's house.

"I'm sure there is definitely a market for this thing, but I don't know exactly what the market will be, so I plan to squat with them today."

Calculated, it only costs three yuan for a whole month.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he reacted.

So now Jia Zhang is very eager to find a new way.

"Mom, you said..."

There was a faint light, it was a snowy night outside, and the wind was howling non-stop.

Jia Zhang's eyes lit up when she thought of this, and then she looked at her son.

But looking at his son, he thought about it.

"When the time comes, let's follow behind and see if we can find a way to sell this couplet so that you don't have to pay too much, just the one dollar you said."

When Jia Dongxu was looked at like this, he felt a chill on his back and the hair all over his body stood upside down.

Ms. Jia Zhang is still reluctant to part with this dollar. Her current need for painkillers is simply addictive.

"Mom, it's agreed. If the sale price is too much, I won't give you one dollar a month."

"Mom, this is..."

"Um……"

"Okay, okay! I knew I couldn't count on you, but now you are being manipulated by Hu Dahua. You don't look like a man at all."

Jia Dongxu's voice was a little trembling, mainly because the scene now was too strange and strange.

If I don't eat for a day, I feel uncomfortable all over.

Speaking of the black market, Jia Zhang was also stunned. She originally wanted to say that even the black market is open by default during the Chinese New Year.

"Apart from the black market, where else are there people?"

"Do you still remember the couplets I asked you to get back from Lin Jiajun today?"

"son!"

"Go out in the middle of the night and come back in the middle of the night."

"Then the year before last, think about it!"

"Besides, it's the Chinese New Year now."

Under the dim light, an old lady suddenly had a thoughtful expression on her wrinkled face.

She still has a little bit of foundation now, but if she continues to eat like this, she won't be able to survive without new money coming in.

"Last year I got up at night and saw those boys from the Yan family taking down the couplets in the entire yard."

There are even some special personnel inside who provide some special supplies so that the residents of Beijing can at least ensure a good New Year.

If I had known better, I wouldn't have said anything. I don't know why I got so obsessed just now that I said I wanted to give Jia Zhang a dollar.

I don’t know what my mother thought of again.

But now it seems that if you don’t go, you won’t be able to get out of trouble if you pay one yuan.

"Over there at the black market..."

"My father, wasn't it also controlled by you?"

Jia Dongxu said unconvinced, and then Jia Zhang curled her lips.

"Then your father and I are in a free relationship. He likes me, but Hu Dahua and you have no choice but to be together."

"We have no choice but to be together. I can't just like Dahua!"

Jia Dongxu said stubbornly, and finally decided to follow Jia Zhang outside, just as the two of them went out to close the door.

"be careful!"

"Ok!"

After closing the door, Jia Dongxu followed Jia Zhang into the wind and snow.

The black market is located some distance away from the chip factory. Because it is some distance away from the chip factory, it has not been relocated.

It's just that the roads here are much better than before, and there are still street lights on the roadside, which is one of the very few in Beijing.

There are also security section booths on the road. There is a very short police force across the country, so some important factories have security sections.

They weren't surprised when they saw Jia Zhang and the others walking towards the black market. Although it was New Year's Eve, there were really a lot of people there.

Arriving at the black market, the black market is very large and is also located in an abandoned factory. There are many spider webs hanging in the corners of the dilapidated rooms.

Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu found an open space and spread out the couplets.

A lot of people came as soon as it started. They were all people who bought last year and were ready to try their luck this year.

See if you can wait for the person who sells fonts. They have become a little popular in their circle of friends this year.

Because I don’t know who wrote it, and because of its extremely high level, I got the envy of many friends.

Secondly, because they themselves also collect some things, the quality of the things can naturally be seen.

If the font had not reached an extreme level and even had a new font style, they would not have paid for it.

Collecting this thing is a collection of scarcity, commonly known as top-notch goods, top-notch good things.

That's what antiques are like. Valuable antiques were very valuable in their time.

A broken folk bowl, even from the Ming Dynasty, is worthless now.

So not long after Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu came here, someone came over and frowned when they saw the six couplets.

"Last year it was more than that."

“They weren’t here to sell it last year either!”

"I just took a look. They were either pulled down, or they were written directly on top and not posted."

When they were discussing, Jia Dongxu listened carefully and was shocked when he heard their words.

Sure enough, as Jia Zhang said, it was brought here by Yan Jiefang and others for sale. Just hearing their words, Jia Dongxu was a little unsure of the price for a while. He thought before that he could buy it for only one yuan, but the difference was enough.

But now, he feels that the price can be a little higher, and he even regrets it. When he came, he should have bought it at everyone's doorstep.

Originally, he couldn't understand Yan Jiekuang and the others, but now he can understand. Money and silk touch people's hearts.

From questioning, to understanding, to becoming.

Jia Dongxu had successfully converted. Instead, he looked at the person in front of him and thought about what price to offer.

"These couplets of yours..."

"You name a price. If it's suitable, I'll sell it! If it's not suitable, forget it!"

Jia Dongxu said, but the others were a little embarrassed, and for a while they didn't know what price they should offer.

Then someone spoke.

"Last year, the word was one dollar and two!"

"It's missing. Those kids from last year won't sell it anymore, and our couplets are not removed and clean."

Jia Dongxu's mind was quite active, and he immediately found the selling point and spoke.

Then he continued.

"And we don't know if we will sell it in the future. The person who wrote it is not willing to write it anymore."

"We are about to reach the sixth couplet..."

"Is the old gentleman old?"

Suddenly someone spoke a tentative sentence. Jia Dongxu was startled when he heard it, but then nodded.

After hearing this, the man's eyes lit up.

The price of a person who can write this word alive is completely different from the price of death.

Just like Qi Baishi, a painting cost only more than ten yuan when he was alive, but what about after he died?

The value is completely different.

But this man didn't speak easily. Others also understood the meaning and looked at Jia Dongxu with fiery eyes.

Jia Dongxu didn't know it clearly at first, and he doesn't know it now either, but he understood the expressions of these people.

But no one present offered a price, which made Jia Dongxu a little anxious. No matter how rare it was and couldn't be sold, it was all in vain.

Just when he was about to speak, Jia Zhang hurriedly pulled him aside!

Jia Zhang came close to Jia Dongxu and whispered.

"Wait for them to bid!"

"We don't know the specific market situation, but today we have less stuff and they have more people."

Jia Zhang's sudden burst of shrewdness made Jia Dongxu a little unbelievable. Suddenly he seemed to know what his mother was good at.

From making fire color boxes to collecting shoe soles, not to mention other things, Jia and Zhang are still able to make some money.

Especially the soles, they can often be sold for a cent or two more than others.

It won't work until it is sold to the supply and marketing cooperative later, and the price will be fixed.

There seemed to be some people in the crowd who couldn't bear it anymore and came out and said to the two of them with a smile.

"Well, where is this thing of yours! It's indeed a good product, but I don't know its origin, and it's a bit risky. We'll pay you two yuan. If you think it's suitable, we'll take it all."

"If you don't think it's suitable, forget it. Just wait and see if there's someone suitable for you."

When Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu heard this, they looked at the others and found that the others had stopped talking.

I guess I just like it, but I don't have to be in that state, so I suddenly felt a little anxious.

Jia Zhang's mind was spinning the fastest ever, and he immediately spoke.

"Of course it has a history. Don't you just want to know if it was written by a famous person?"

"Big celebrities, at least to us Beijingers, are big celebrities."

"You all know about the epidemic before, right?"

"A lot of people died in all places, but not a single person died in the South Tongluo Lane courtyard area."

I have to say that people are in a hurry, except for math problems, other major problems can also be solved.

Jia Zhang's story-telling ability has been greatly improved, but these people are not willing to listen anymore.

"What does this have to do with this word!"

"Your survival is related to Lin Jiajun, the miracle doctor who lives here. Naturally, he also wrote the words."

"what……"

"Miracle doctor?"

A few people's eyes looked hesitant, but the source was proven, and there were stories of saving millions of people.

Then Jia Zhang said.

"Don't you know the rest? Lin Jiajun gave away the life-saving prescription "Great Epidemic Soup" for free. In order to research the treatment prescription, the military sent a truckload of books over."

"Lin Jiajun researched day and night and came up with this."

"If nothing else, the manuscript of "The Great Epidemic Soup" must be preserved by the country, as well as the first prescription to relieve symptoms. Doesn't this have a provenance?"

Jia Zhang was able to say this, thanks to the women in the courtyard. These days, they have been talking about which museum in Beijing has been established, and whose manuscripts are placed in it.

He sorted out a line among the messy information and blurted it out without thinking.

Jia Dongxu opened his mouth wide and thought to himself.

Is this still my wife?
Suddenly the crowd became noisy, and they were all discussing the authenticity of this matter intensely.

"I have heard that this prescription was produced in the courtyard house over on Tongluo Lane. It is said that this is indeed the case."

"My sister-in-law and her family live there, and indeed no one died. It is said that everyone was moved to the courtyard of a miracle doctor and their lives were forcibly saved!"

"If you put it that way, it's not very likely to be true, put it that way."

That person didn't understand it thoroughly, but the people present were all collectors, so they couldn't understand anything.

This is a very good thing!

The possibility of future appreciation is almost 100%.

"Three dollars!"

After everyone heard this, they secretly said that they did not talk about martial ethics.

The sudden attack was completely different from what was planned before.

But they didn't bring much money with them. This time they came out just for shopping. There are always people who are in trouble during the New Year and bring something to exchange.

"Three dollars!"

No price increase!

Many people are waiting!

Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu also waited, but after waiting for a long time, no one raised the price.

Only then did they see this group of people clearly, although there were many.

However, the location of the station is a bit scattered, and it seems that there are small groups, so no one increases the price!
"Dongxu?"

Jia Zhang was a little unsure at this time. She didn't know whether she should sell it.

A few days later, as things on the black market ended, some rumors spread, and two people outside found Li Weiguo.
