Dressed as a peasant girl, full of happiness

Chapter 246 Selling Cherries

Like Liu Chunmei, Liu Qing did not try to persuade Wei Yuchen to stay, because she, like Liu Chunmei, also thought it would be best for Wei Yuchen to go back to her parents' home during this period.

After saying goodbye to his neighbors, Wei Yuchen carried his small bag and left the family compound with his two children. Halfway through the journey, he boarded a bullock cart and headed to the city.

When they arrived in the city, she first took her two children to a state-owned restaurant.

They weren't really hungry, but they had to go through the necessary procedures. It seemed a bit awkward not to eat at a state-owned restaurant in the city.

They ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles. Wei Yuchen asked the waiter for another bowl. Wei Yuchen ate one bowl himself and split the other bowl in half. He put two chopsticks of noodles into the other bowl and pushed it to Xiao Bai: "Eat it."

Xiao Bai called out tenderly, "Mom, hey, hey!"

Wei Yuchen ignored her and just ate his noodles. Has the little white bird been pretending to be a child for so long that it has forgotten even the basic skills of eating?

Xiaosong couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh.

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes in annoyance and threatened in a low voice: "Damn squirrel!"

Xiaosong immediately sat up straight and started eating noodles.

After the mother and her two children had a lively meal, Wei Yuchen looked around and took the two children to the department store. They certainly didn't go there to buy things, but to go through the procedures.

Since I'm back home, I have to buy some gifts. And there are indeed many things here that are not available in the countryside.

After Wei Yuchen finished shopping, he carried his bags to the bus station.

You have to go through all these procedures, but when you get to the station, there is so much population movement that it's hard to say whether you will get on the bus or not.

On the way to the station, Wei Yuchen found a corner where no one noticed him, and entered the space with his two children and gifts.

After a while, a woman carrying a basket came out from the space.

The basket was covered with a piece of black cloth, which was so large that one could not see what was inside the basket.

The woman looked to be in her 40s, with rough skin, droopy eyes, freckles on both sides of her nose, a bun on the back of her head, and old clothes. She was obviously a rural woman from a poor family.

She was carrying the basket, with her head down. When she saw out of the corner of her eye that there was no one around, she quickly walked into an alley.

This person was Wei Yuchen. Long before entering the space, she had released her spiritual sense to search for a while.

I found that behind this alley was another alley, and behind the other alley was the black market.

After Wei Yuchen came out of the alley, he was stopped by someone just as he approached the entrance of another alley.

"What?"

A big, burly man appeared in front of Wei Yuchen like a bandit. He was here to keep watch.

Wei Yuchen seemed to be frightened, took a few steps back, and whispered: "Someone sent some fruit to my house, but we can't finish it, so I brought it here to see if anyone wants it."

Then he lifted a corner of the black cloth, revealing the red cherries inside.

The man on guard saw the big, round cherry inside and swallowed unconsciously. Then his face turned red and he said embarrassedly, "Oh, then you go over there quickly."

Seeing that the man did not embarrass her, Wei Yuchen returned the favor by taking out a bunch of cherries from the basket and handing it to him: "This is for you."

"Oh, go in."

The man felt even more embarrassed. He wanted to refuse but couldn't bear to do so. He awkwardly gave way and let Wei Yuchen in.

Wei Yuchen entered the black market and started walking around with a basket. However, she was not just wandering around, she was looking for a buyer.

"Uncle, I have some freshly picked cherries here, would you like some?" Wei Yuchen stopped a gentle and elegant old man and asked.

These cherries were indeed picked by Wei Yuchen from the space. In her small courtyard, there were two cherry trees. These cherry trees absorbed the spiritual energy of the space and grew vigorously, bearing fruit one after another, but Wei Yuchen never made them public.

She understands the principle that a man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.

It has been nearly a year since the time travel, and this cherry is making its first appearance.

The old man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a neat and elegant Mao suit. He looked at the cherries in the basket, his throat rolled, and he asked, "How much?"

"This basket costs ten yuan, a sugar coupon, and a cloth coupon."

The old man shook his head: "It's too expensive, make it cheaper!"

"Uncle, this is the first one from my tree. My family is reluctant to eat it. We just want to sell it for a little money. And you think it's too expensive!"

Wei Yuchen looked reluctant.

The old man looked at the bright red cherries, swallowed his saliva, took one and put it in his mouth. The juice immediately moistened his mouth, and even the itchy feeling of dry cough disappeared. Even the air became moist.

This time, he stopped talking and looked around at the eyes looking at him. As if he was afraid of being robbed, he took out ten yuan, a cloth coupon, and a sugar coupon from his jacket pocket without hesitation, handed them to Wei Yuchen, and said, "Here you go!"

Then he snatched the basket from Wei Yuchen's hand and said, "Comrade, I'll give you one more dollar, and you can just give me this basket."

Of course Wei Yuchen had no objection and nodded.

The old man seemed to be afraid that the basket would be snatched away, so he no longer cared about his manners. When Wei Yuchen nodded, he quickly picked up the basket and left.

Wei Yuchen smiled when she saw this, but was not curious. She put away the money, found an empty place, and entered the space.

Her cherries were just the way to open the door to the black market. What he really wanted to sell were not cherries, but all kinds of game in the space.

In the space, she changed her clothes, came out with a backpack, and then found a place to start selling pheasants and rabbits.

The game she hunted was big and fat, which was exactly what the times required. It was also not expensive and anyone with a slightly better income could afford it.

Most people who can enter the black market to buy things have money in their pockets. So the game that Wei Yuchen brought sold very quickly. It was sold out in half an hour. But Wei Yuchen still felt it was a bit slow.

Her courtyard is several hundred square meters, and it is filled with all kinds of game. Just imagine how much effort she would have to put in to sell all the game!

"Mom, we can wholesale this meat and let others sell it for you." Xiaosong said. He had read a lot of books before he transformed and knew a lot of things.

"Mom, let's sell the bacon to others. I haven't been out for several days." Xiao Bai acted coquettishly.

"Okay, I'll take a look today. If it doesn't work, I'll do as Xiaosong said."

In his previous life, Wei Yuchen was responsible for researching how to increase food income every day to maintain the survival of the base. He didn't know as much about these twists and turns as the little squirrel.

"Mom, you can also trade with others for food, flour, noodles, malted milk, biscuits..." Xiao Bai said. Although she likes to eat meat, he likes biscuits, peach cakes, and malted milk more...

Food is the most difficult thing to get. The government is now controlling it, so no one dares to go too far and can only sell it out bit by bit.

Xiao Bai knew that Wei Yuchen had a lot of good things, but he also knew that she didn't have much money.

"My little Bai is so smart." Wei Yuchen perfunctorily praised the little white bird. It's not that she hadn't thought about exchanging them, but she was lazy, and it was too troublesome to change them bit by bit.
