Chapter 1193: The Peculiar Black Market
As they chatted, they had already walked into the field. From a distance, the lush greenery looked delightful, but as they got closer, Shu Yu noticed that the sprouts had grown quite tall and healthy.
Da Niu recounted the events of the past few months, "After selling those batches of alfalfa, we made around sixty to seventy taels of silver. However, after buying the wooden stakes and building the fence, there isn't much left. The account book is in the village; I'll show it to you later. By the way, before you left, you asked me to look for nearby vacant land. I've looked, and there's one about two miles southwest of our village, which is perfect for building a workshop."
"Really?" Shu Yu's eyebrows lifted in delight. "Can that land be bought?"
"Yes, I asked, and the price isn't too high. Do you want to go take a look?"
"Maybe another day. I have to return home today, or my parents will worry."
"Alright, once we buy that piece of land, we'll be busy again."
Indeed, they would be very busy – building a workshop, crafting tools, hiring workers, and later, opening shops. It seemed that Shu Yu wouldn't have much time to do anything else for a while.
Shu Yu smiled and strolled around the field before preparing to leave.
She didn't plan to walk through the entire one hundred mu of land. She didn't have the time for that. She could come back and take another look next time.
As she turned around, her gaze inadvertently fell on a mountain in the distance. However, she quickly withdrew her gaze, but even in that fleeting moment, Da Niu noticed.
He immediately spoke in a low voice, "By the way, that mountain, the one with the black market inside, has been acting strange lately."
"Strange? What happened?"
Da Niu was also puzzled. "Recently, there have been more people going in and out than before. I even saw several carts full of things being transported out of the mountain."
"Transported out? Not into the mountain?"
Transporting things into the black market wasn't strange. After all, the black market was a place where various rare and peculiar items were gathered from different places.
But transporting things out of the black market... that was a bit peculiar.
Da Niu nodded. "Yes, and they were doing it in the middle of the night. I happened to see it by chance. Sometimes, when your sister-in-law wakes up in the middle of the night, she would have some unusual cravings. Not long ago, she woke up and said she wanted to eat eggplants with green beans, and she wanted to eat it immediately. I couldn't do anything; she's pregnant, and of course, I have to go along with her wishes."
Shu Yu felt like she had just eaten a mouthful of dog food.
Unaware of Shu Yu's thoughts, Da Niu continued, "Your sister-in-law used to hate eggplants. When we were planting vegetables in the yard, we never thought of growing eggplants. But now, she suddenly craves them, so I have to go outside to get them for her. This way, your sister-in-law is happy, and she can sleep peacefully at night."
Shu Yu said, "Big brother, get to the point."
"Ah, yes. Your sister-in-law wanted to eat eggplants, so I thought that the Wang family might have some. I wanted to go to their place and ask, but it wouldn't be nice to disturb them in the middle of the night. So I took some money and planned to buy some from them. When I arrived at their door, I saw several carts coming from a distance. The carts were full of large items, even including big screens and such."
Da Niu found it strange. A couple of days later, he paid more attention and saw them transporting things out of the mountain again.
"It looked like they were moving."
