Seeing that Shu Yu was silent, Lu Sanzhu waved his hand in front of her eyes,
Shu Yu slapped his hand away and glared at him. “What are you doing?”
Lu Sanzhu chuckled, “I’ve never been to a black market before. I wonder what they sell.”
“You want to go?”
“I want to.” Lu Sanzhu sighed. “But we only have the token. We don’t know where the black market is or when it will open. We can’t find the entrance either.”
Speaking of this, he suddenly felt dejected. Even if they had the jade token, it was useless.
Shu Yu smiled and said, “If we don’t know, can’t we just ask someone else?”
“Ask who? Those three young masters?” Lu Sanzhu was shocked. He didn’t dare to appear in front of them again.
Shu Yu facepalmed. “Of course not. I’m talking about the Ding family.”
“How can you be sure that the Ding family knows?”
“Think about it, the things that can be transacted in the black market must be rare and very expensive, so the people who go in to trade naturally can’t be ordinary people. Who in our county can afford it? It must be the local rich families like the Ding family and the Jiang family who have been in Jiangyuan County for many years and have a solid foundation. If they don’t know where the black market is, then they would have wasted all these years.”
More importantly, the Ding family had made a fortune through the pawn industry.
Most of the items in pawnshops were ownerless, and many were treasures of unknown origin. These items could not be sold openly, but they were expensive. It was most suitable to sell them in the black market.
Therefore, Shu Yu felt that the Ding family must surely know more about the black market than the average person.
Although Ding Yuehua was a woman, she had already taken over a portion of the Ding family’s business. Putting everything else aside, she should at least know about the timing of the opening of the black market, right?
When Lu Sanzhu heard what she said, he immediately understood. “You’re right, Yu. You’re really too smart.”
Why didn’t he have such a brain? Why didn’t he think of this?
Shu Yu rubbed her forehead. Wasn’t this a normal deduction?
Lu Sanzhu became excited again. “Then are you going to look for the Ding family’s young lady? Yu, do you really want to go to the black market?”
Shu Yu hesitated for a moment. “I do want to go to the black market to take a look.”
Ever since she saw her master’s note, she knew that she probably could not escape the fate of being exiled, so she should seize the time to get more money.
She had to prepare the money she needed for her exile in the future. The money she had saved now was far from enough for the expenses on the road and living in exile.
Earning money through the ready-to-wear clothes shop was too slow. Now that there was an opportunity right before her, Shu Yu wanted to give it a try.
Black market…
It was a place where she could trade without revealing her true identity, a place where she could escape even if she took out a rare item.
Therefore, she wanted to go and take a look.
Seeing her nod, Lu Sanzhu immediately rubbed his hands together and said,
“When are you going over? Bring me along.”
Shu Yu put away the jade token. “Let me find out the address of the black market first.’
As for whether she would bring him along, she had to consider it.
Lu Sanzhu thought that Shu Yu had agreed. He had never thought that the other party would burn the bridge after crossing it.
Either way, the jade token had already fallen into Shu Yu’s hands.
At this moment, the old lady’s voice came from outside again. “Sanzhu, are you done? If you don’t go back now, the city gates would be closed..”
