Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 21: Night Visit to the Black Market
Among these, most are popular daily necessities such as wheat flour, rice, millet, soybeans, peanuts, melon seeds, sugar, oil, fruits, chicken, duck, fish and meat. There are also more expensive and scarce items such as watches, radios, antiques, tickets, etc.

Seeing this situation, Li Guoqiang was not surprised at all, and even felt that he had come to the right place.

After all, if it is really some ordinary things, there is no need to take the risk of going to the black market for a few small things.

You know, these days if you catch someone buying goods, at most they will be locked up for a while and criticized and educated, but if you catch someone selling goods, they will be investigated thoroughly.

If it is discovered that those supplies were secretly taken from public property, you will be thrown into a small dark room or even have to eat peanuts!

Moreover, even if the materials being sold belong to an individual, all the materials will be confiscated and the individual will be detained and criticized for education.

If Li Guoqiang's health was not so poor and he was in such a hurry to go to the countryside, he would not have chosen to take the risk of going to the black market.

In the black market, after taking a rough look at the conditions of each stall from one end of the alley to the other, he silently memorized some sellers who carried more supplies. Then he turned his attention to the houses on both sides of the alley, because this was directly related to whether he could get away smoothly after picking up the rubbish.

Soon, he returned to the beginning of the alley, and while drawing a three-dimensional picture of the entire alley in his mind, he left the black market and walked towards a small woods outside Dongzhimen.

When he decided to take the risk in the black market, he was thinking about how he could get out.

First, neither his physical condition nor his need to stay behind to pick up other people's discarded items allowed him to sneak away at the first sign of a black market raid.

Secondly, even if his physical condition was sufficient to support him to run fast, after he had picked up things discarded or lost by others, the entire black market would probably have been taken over. If he ran out at this time, he would undoubtedly be walking into a trap.

Therefore, after ruling out the possibility of running away immediately and running away afterwards, he immediately thought of the saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

In addition, these days, most houses are tiled. If you don't have a ladder or the ability to climb over eaves and walls, it would be impossible to climb onto the roof, which makes it impossible for anyone to suspect that there is someone hiding on the roof.

Just now, through observation, Li Guoqiang has successfully found several houses with roofs that are more suitable for Tibetans. The best one is a large warehouse, which is also the tallest house in the alley. The back eaves of the house are about 3 meters high.

In this way, he only needed a 4-meter-long ladder. After picking up the things, he could use the ladder to climb up to the roof of the warehouse, then pull the ladder up and lie flat on the roof with the ladder, so that he could easily avoid pursuit.

His purpose of going to the grove now is to make a temporary ladder, and then rely on the life buff of God rewards hard work - one point of hard work will yield ten points of gain, to obtain ten ladders hidden in the storage space.

This ladder doesn't need to be very stable, it just needs to be strong enough for him to use it once.

Soon, a series of "thump thump thump" sounds of felling trees were heard in the grove.

Perhaps because the ecological environment was good these days, with the help of a flashlight, Li Guoqiang soon found two small trees about six or seven meters tall with thin and straight trunks. Then he quickly took out a hatchet hidden in his arms and started chopping hard.

After he finished chopping down the first tree, Jin Di immediately sent him a message that he could receive an extra ten times the harvest, but he didn't intend to pay attention to it. After a short rest, he started to chop down the second tree.

Because if he chooses to claim the extra ten times the harvest at this time, then when he uses this tree to make a ladder, he will no longer be able to get the extra ten ladders.

That is to say, for each item, he can only have one chance to get an extra tenfold reward. If there is no such restriction, he can first chop down a tree and get ten trees, then use these eleven trees to make wooden boards, and then use these wooden boards to make furniture and build houses, and then dismantle the furniture and houses and turn them into wooden boards.

In this case, doesn't it mean that he can refresh resources in an infinite loop?
It is obvious that it is impossible for Jin Die to leave such a big loophole.

Therefore, he had to wait until the ladder was made before he could choose to claim the extra ten times the reward.

As he was busy, a trace of sweat seeped out of his forehead. As he did not pursue quality but only speed, he finally made a barely usable ladder after more than half an hour.

This was also thanks to the small handful of nails he secretly brought from home, otherwise it would have been impossible to do it so quickly.

Next, he leaned the ladder against a big tree, tried to climb up and down, and found that the quality was indeed sufficient.

Therefore, he immediately asked Father Jin to distribute the extra ten times the harvest, and then ten identical ladders instantly appeared in the storage space. At the same time, he also gained 0.01 points of strength and 1 point of carpentry experience.

After absorbing the extra carpentry knowledge that suddenly appeared in his mind, he rushed to the black market in a hurry, fearing that he would miss the opportunity to pick up a bargain.

And it turned out that he was overthinking it.

When he spent another dime and hurried into the alley in the black market, everything was almost the same as when he left before, and it was even more lively. It didn't look like he would be arrested at all.

This made him feel slightly relieved, but he also couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Now, there are less than seven days left before he goes to the countryside, and this large black market is not held every day. If he misses this opportunity, it will be a bit troublesome next time.

However, although he was worried, he did not show any abnormality. Instead, he walked from one end of the alley to the other end very naturally, and once again deepened his impression of those fat sheep and the surrounding geographical environment in his mind.

He even simulated in his mind what would happen when this black market was raided, in order to avoid any accidents in his action plan.

Just wait and wait!
After a while, more than half an hour had passed, and I estimated that it was already past 4 a.m.

A small number of sellers and buyers have gradually dispersed, leaving only some sellers and buyers with stronger financial strength or whose items are difficult to sell or purchase, still quietly looking for trading opportunities.

Just when Li Guoqiang felt that there might be no hope today, gunshots suddenly rang out from both the beginning and the end of the alley. The crowd in the black market paused for a moment, and then someone shouted loudly, and the whole scene suddenly became a mess.

"What are you standing there for? Run!"

"Run the fuck away!"
