Chapter 267: magic place

"Husband, look, there are still potatoes sold over there, do you think there will be someone who pays for them?"

Li Haitang twitched the corners of her mouth. Fortunately, the uncle selling potatoes didn't cover his face with a mask, otherwise she would feel even more weird here.

Only a moment later, people passed by one after another, and the uncle successfully sold half a box of potatoes.

Perhaps, the potatoes on the black market are more miraculous than those grown by ordinary farmers, and they are a new variety.

"???? The people who bought the potatoes didn't wear masks. They belonged to the people on the black market."

The black market is just like an ordinary town, the difference is that it is a three-way zone and there is no government. Even so, it is controlled by the forces behind it. If you make trouble in the black market, you may not be able to get out alive.

"????Oh, I get it."

Li Haitang stood in place for a while, looking around, she soon found a problem.

Although the street market is noisy, people buy things calmly, and no one quarrels.

The clothes the people wore were unpatched and looked glamorous. They walked with smiles, nodded and greeted each other, and seemed to have no worries.

On the contrary, these outsiders who wear masks hide their heads and show their tails, shrink their hands and feet, and sneak around, just like thieves.

"??? That's because the black market is as rich as a country, and the common people are not short of money."

There are wealth, treasures, and money that you can't imagine here. It can even be compared with the national treasury. People who live in the black market never worry about money.

Hidden and shady transactions are only part of the black market.

"???? Will there be any joy, anger, sorrow, or joy?"

Li Haitang always believes that 99% of people's troubles and happiness are rooted in the issue of money. Perhaps, she is just an ordinary person.

Never worry about money, eat and drink, and have a peaceful mind, but you will lose a lot of emotions you should have.

No matter whether it is misery, greed, compassion, good or bad, they are all inherent things. Only after experiencing pain can one feel happiness when liberated. This is her own idea.

"? Even if you don't worry about money, you will still have other worries. The black market has existed since a long time ago, and no one knows how long it has been."

Xiao Lingchuan patted his wife's head, in fact, he also agreed.

But living a peaceful and comfortable life in the black market, there is no war, no separation of wives and children, no exploitation, and there is nothing wrong with it. Individual pursuits are just different.

It's noon now, Li Haitang rubbed his shriveled belly, the first thing to do was to solve the problem of eating, and only when he was full could he continue to wander.

Now, she has an urge to explore everything in the black market.

Randomly, I found a spacious and bright restaurant on the street. The waiter warmly entertained them. Seeing that the couple were wearing masks, they took them to a separate private room on the second floor, and introduced the menu with a sharp tongue.

"?? Sauce-flavored beef?"

Li??? Haitang swallowed her saliva. In Daqi, cattle are the main tool of productivity. It is forbidden to slaughter farm cattle, otherwise they will be taken to the yamen to be imprisoned.

Some of the barbarians could be transported over there, but unfortunately the border is not peaceful, the gates of the city are closed, and many transactions have been stopped.

Remnant cattle can only be slaughtered after being approved by the government. It's a pity that there are too many rich families in the city, and they all stare at them. In the end, there is not a piece of beef left. Unexpectedly, it can be eaten on the black market!

Except eating something during the Chinese New Year, counting the time, it has been a long time.

"??? Two catties of gluten cakes, one catty of sauce-flavored beef, and two more of your specialties, a bowl of soup, a jug of wine, and a plate of peanuts."

Li?? Haitang ordered dishes skillfully. After the waiter went out, she turned to look at Xiao Lingchuan with sparkling eyes.

It's Master Liu who gave her the best. A black card is more pleasing to her than gold, silver and jewellery.

She didn't ask the guy why there was sauce-flavored beef, that would make it look like she had never seen the world, anyway, if you ask your husband any questions, Xiao Lingchuan can always answer them.

"?? There are villages around that specialize in raising cattle. Some rich families come to the black market just to eat beef."

There is a demand for a market, such a simple truth.

The black market is just a little more secretive shop than the ordinary market.

Xiao???? Lingchuan poured a cup of tea for Li Haitang. After a while, several dishes will be served together, and the waiter will not come in to disturb you. At that time, you can take off your mask to eat without worrying about being seen.

It's just that, what kind of person is the master of the black market? Is it an old man who is about to die in his seventies or eighties, or a beautiful woman?

"???? In the black market, unless you violate a taboo, you probably won't have the chance to meet a real person."

Seeing him, he was killed and silenced, how could he have a chance to come out? Therefore, so far, the masters of the black market are not humane.

The view from the second floor of the restaurant is good. Through the white gauze curtain, you can see far away.

At noon, there were still a lot of people coming and going on the street, and there was a girl selling flowers with a smile in the corner, soliciting business everywhere.

Occasionally, a woman passes by, picks a delicate and charming flower, takes out a small bronze mirror from her sleeve pocket, strokes her cheek with her hand, and looks at herself in the mirror, deeply intoxicated. ?Wine??? Upstairs food is very fast, about a quarter of an hour later, the waiter knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he started to serve the food. There are several layers of glutinous rice cakes. Take a bite. Sliced ​​into thin slices, there is also a meat dish and a vegetarian dish. The meat dish is braised pork with potatoes, and there is a garlic empty

Cabbage, plus a seaweed shrimp soup.

"???? The taste is really good!"

Li Haitang took a bite and praised it repeatedly.

"??? Eat more, we can't take the beef out, this is the rule."

All meals are not allowed to be taken away, and the rest of the transaction can only be taken away after registration. This is also the reason why you still can't eat beef outside.

"??Then can we come more often?"

Li?? Haitang blinked. Such a good place is for the sauce-flavored beef, so there is a need to come again. There are also braised beef, beef soup, beef cubes, beef cubes, and various delicacies that can't be eaten at one time.

"No, the other party opens the black market four times a month, and we can't find out where the black market in Lucheng is."

Xiao Lingchuan shook his head, and it will take seven days to reopen. The black market is peaceful, but it is not a pure land. There will be a group of desperadoes in the dark. You don’t know where they are, staring at those who make big deals. After leaving, kill and get more.

The husband and wife chatted while eating. Li Haitang listened very carefully. She had a straightforward personality and was afraid that she would cause trouble and it would not end well, so she paid special attention to it.

There is a group of people here who specialize in the business of killing people. As long as you give enough money, they are commonly known as killers, those who sell women, and children. People usually come to the black market for shady business.

"Husband, do you think the person behind Xu Da's confession has anything to do with the black market?"

Such a huge human trafficking organization must have a network of connections all over the place, and it is by no means an ordinary person. Thinking about it this way, Li Haitang had goose bumps all over his body, and he couldn't even eat anymore.
