Zhou Nuannuan's words make sense; without evidence, no matter who catches her, they cannot convict her.

Zhou Nuannuan continued, "When we're running, we can split up to distract them, and I can help you sell the goods the rest of the time."

Zhou Yanxing looked at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan nodded. "Let her go. I won't go anymore. Nuannuan can take care of her if she goes with her. You probably won't be able to handle everything by yourself."

Zhou Nuannuan nodded in strong agreement.

Zhou Yanxing: "Okay, but if anyone comes, just run. Don't worry about me. You too, Sister Yan. I'll figure something out myself."

Lu Yan: "Okay, let's pack up and set off."

Zhou Yanxing rode a bicycle carrying goods, while Lu Yan rode a bicycle with Zhou Nuannuan on the back, also carrying some goods.

The three arrived at the black market in the early hours of the morning, and it was already quite crowded.

Lu Yan took out three pieces of black cloth and gave one to each of Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan, saying, "Cover your faces."

As he spoke, he picked up a black cloth and covered his chin and nose.

I used to think that covering your nose and mouth when watching TV was useless, but after experiencing the peak of mask-wearing in later generations, I realized that you really couldn't recognize someone.

Zhou Yanxing pointed to the middle area, "Sister Yan, let's go there."

The middle position is the best.

Zhou Yanxing was about to carry the sack over when Lu Yan grabbed him.

"We'll just stay on the outermost edge."

Zhou Yanyan frowned. "Sister Yan, the seats outside aren't good."

Lu Yan knew, of course, that the location outside wasn't ideal. "The locations here are usually fixed. It's peak trading time right now, and the stall owners in that spot will be here soon. Let's not get into a fight with them over this."

If she could set up a stall openly and legitimately, Lu Yan would definitely try to do so. But if she got into a fight here and attracted the patrol, it would be a loss.

"This position may not be the best, but in time it will be yours. Then other people will come and stand next to you, and eventually you'll be in the middle."

Zhou Yanxing: "Sister Yan, you're right."

The three people went to the far end, put the clothes rack on the ground, and then took out the clothes and laid them out.

After setting everything up, the three of them waited.

There were many people coming and going, but most of them were buying grain.

Zhou Yanxing watched with envy, "Where did these people get their food? If I didn't have just enough food at home, I would be willing to sell it."

Zhou Nuannuan glared at him. "What did you say?!"

Zhou Yanxing: "I'm just saying, just saying."

It's impossible that they would actually sell grain for money.

Lu Yan was also puzzled as to where these people got so much food, but in the days of rationing, if a family had more boys, they would really not have enough to eat, as you can tell from her son.

After waiting for more than ten minutes without anyone coming to ask, Zhou Nuannuan became a little anxious.

"I hope not a single one will be sold."

Lu Yan: "Possibly."

Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan both looked at her.

"It is indeed possible," Lu Yan said frankly, not letting them have too much hope. "You two are blinded by the money you made today. The real market is like this. There are quite a few people who get their goods from us, but they can only sell a little over a hundred items a month at most, and some only sell twenty or so. So you've already sold fast enough."

But even selling a hundred items would earn around three thousand.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanxing and Zhou Nuannuan immediately became dejected.

"Sister Yanyan, do they sell here too?"

"No," Lu Yan said, "the black market they go to is much bigger than this, but there are also more people selling things there. You two are still students, and you won't be able to come out at night after school starts. You can just sell things here for the next few days."

"You can't rush things in business. If it doesn't work today, try tomorrow. If it doesn't work tomorrow, try the day after. If you come here often enough, someone will notice."

Zhou Nuannuan and Zhou Yanxing nodded, "Let's wait a little longer."

After a while, a woman came over, glanced at me, and left. A few seconds later, she came over again.

Upon seeing the client arrive, Zhou Nuannuan and Zhou Yanxing instantly tensed up.

They had been selling to acquaintances all day, and this was their first time facing strangers, so they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Lu Yan stepped forward. "Sister, these are our new styles this year. Would you like to take a look?"

Female: "It's too dark, I can't see clearly."

Lu Yan looked at her figure and features, took out a set of clothes and handed it to her, "Sister, feel the fabric first, then try it on. The moonlight is good today, so you can see the general shape once you put it on."

The woman hesitated for a moment, then took the fabric and touched it, and was surprised.

The softness of this fabric is comparable to that of department store fabrics.

I couldn't resist trying them on.

After putting it on, the woman looked down and touched it. Lu Yan smiled and said, "Sister, this dress suits you so well. It really brings out your great figure and makes you look so elegant."

The woman glanced at Lu Yan and confirmed that, as Lu Yan had said, the moonlight was beautiful tonight. Although Lu Yan had covered half of her face, she couldn't hide her great figure.

Being complimented on your figure by someone like Lu Yan is truly a delightful experience.

"It looks good."

Lu Yan then took out another pair of pants. "Sis, these pants are meant to go with this top. You need to wear them together to achieve the desired effect."

"But I can't try on the pants."

"This is a set. If the top can be worn, the bottom can also be worn. If you really can't wear it, we'll come back tomorrow night and give you a refund."

"If you don't come, where am I supposed to find you?"

"Sister, this is our first day here too. Look how many clothes we still have. We're not going to stop coming tomorrow just to scam you out of the price of a pair of pants. We'd much rather you buy something and like it, so you'll recommend us to other customers."

The woman smiled and said, "Then I'm your first customer, so you should give me a discount."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Sister, our family doesn't need cloth coupons for clothes."

Upon hearing this, the woman paused for a moment, "Don't you need cloth coupons?"

Lu Yan nodded, "Yes, you've seen the quality of the fabric too. This set costs eighty yuan. Whether it's worth the price or not, I know very well."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Nuannuan and Zhou Yanxing's eyes widened.

This is seventy yuan!

The woman didn't speak immediately, but she was already making plans in her mind.

This quality would probably cost fifty or sixty yuan in a department store, but it would require cloth coupons of the same price, which would add up to more than one hundred yuan. Eighty yuan is a great deal.

Moreover, cloth coupons were already hard to come by, so she saved them to exchange for grain coupons, which meant her children could eat their fill.

"Okay, I'll take one."

Lu Yan: "Okay, please put the clothes away."

The woman handed over eight ten-yuan bills, which Lu Yan took. "Thank you, sister. If you think the quality is good when you get home, please help introduce customers. If someone you introduce comes to buy clothes, I'll give you one yuan per item."
