Because they weren't trading many items, there wasn't much disagreement about the price. After a little negotiation, they reached an agreement and arranged to meet at midnight tonight in the grove of trees next to the South Reservoir outside the county town.

This time, Zhuang Feifei didn't use the warehouse; she didn't believe her goods could be swallowed up by someone without anyone noticing.

Luo Jingyan is going to make a surprise visit to the Li family tonight, and she can also pick up the goods while she's at it.

That evening, Luo Jingyan returned to the county town with Pang Hu. She first went to the place she had arranged to meet Zhuang Feifei. Upon seeing Zhuang Feifei, Zhuang Feifei asked in surprise, "Why did you come alone? Didn't you drive?"

Luo Jingyan said, "My truck is loading goods elsewhere and can't come over for the time being. You're making a lot of noise, but as long as you get your money back, that's fine."

Zhuang Feifei only wanted money, so she said no more.

Luo Jingyan checked the goods and, seeing that there were no problems, gave Zhuang Feifei the money, which totaled 1,200 yuan.

This was the first time Zhuang Feifei had earned so much money using her spatial ability in this era. She took the money and quickly counted it, finding that not a single bill was missing. This unconsciously increased her trust in Luo Jingyan.

She asked Luo Jingyan, "When shall we do our next transaction? I'll tell you, I have other new things to offer, like seafood or something."

Luo Jingyan had already anticipated that Zhuang Feifei would stockpile these things. She pretended to be both surprised and restrained, and said in a deep voice, "So you really do have so many supplies. I told you I was short of seafood. It would be best if you could also send some sea cucumbers, abalone, and crabs. Many people want to use them as gifts. Tell me how much you can provide."

"Right now I can only offer you 1,000 catties of sea fish, 500 catties of sea shrimp, and 200 catties of sea cucumber, abalone, crab, etc. If you can continue to cooperate with me with the same sincerity, I will offer you even more goods."

In fact, she was warning Luo Jingyan that if she wanted to gain more benefits from her, she couldn't play tricks on her.

Luo Jingyan said, "Can't you see how sincere I am? I've always valued integrity in business and I'm an upright person. You can rest assured when cooperating with me. Today's cooperation is the best proof."

"It's only once, I hope it will be like this every time."

"Of course." Luo Jingyan added, "I don't know if you have any cloth or cotton. It's cold now and many people still need it, but I'm a little short on some."

"I have."

When she traveled through time, she spent over 200,000 yuan just on cotton and the fabrics popular in that era, and nearly 300,000 yuan on seafood, and much more.

"That would be wonderful. Could you provide fifty bolts of cloth and two hundred catties of cotton?"

"Okay." Zhuang Feifei agreed immediately, because Luo Jingyan didn't want much, so she didn't need to be too cautious.

"I need two bolts of army green cotton, fifteen bolts of blue Dacron, and the rest in various plaid patterns. Do you have any?"

Luo Jingyan bought the fabric purely to make clothes for her family. Originally, she wanted to buy ready-made clothes directly from Zhuang Feifei, but considering that the style and size could not be too specific, she had to give up.

The only thing missing is the tool for making clothes, a sewing machine.

"I have everything you're talking about." The fabrics in her space are all made specifically for this era, more than a thousand bolts in total. When she stockpiled them, she planned to use them to open a clothing factory in the future. Now that she's short of money, selling some wouldn't hurt.

"Oh, you have quite a lot of stock. My cousin is getting married soon, and she wants me to get her one as a dowry. I don't usually deal in machines, so I was wondering if you have any?"

"Yes, I can get you ten, let alone one."

Only then did Zhuang Feifei realize that having space gave her confidence to speak.

"Then give me two, and the other one to my sister-in-law." Luo Jingyan didn't need to buy so many right now; she'd keep one as a backup.

"It costs four hundred yuan if you don't need a ticket."

"It's a bit expensive."

"Then it'll be three hundred and fifty."

"That's more like it."

When will we trade next?

Luo Jingyan only had a little over four thousand yuan in cash in her storage space. She had already spent over a thousand yuan today, leaving her with a little over three thousand yuan. After estimating the value of the goods, she realized it probably wouldn't be enough to pay for the next order. Therefore, she needed to obtain funds through other channels, which meant she could only go to Boss Biao.

"Let's set the next transaction for three days from now. I'll contact you again on the black market for the details, okay?"

"Okay, it's settled then."

After the two discussed the price of the goods and both parties were satisfied, Zhuang Feifei left with a smug look on her face.

Luo Jingyan pretended to be inspecting the goods, and had Black Tiger secretly follow Zhuang Feifei. Once she was sure that Zhuang Feifei had gone far away, she put all the goods into her spatial storage.

Leaving the grove where the transaction took place, the next stop was the Li family's residence.

Luo Jingyan arrived outside the Li family's residence and sent Black Tiger inside to investigate while she waited outside.

Half an hour later, Black Tiger jumped over the wall of the Li family compound and reported to Luo Jingyan: "Master, no contraband was found."

"Oh?" Luo Jingyan narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself how cunning the Li family was: "It's impossible for them to be completely innocent; they must have stored the things somewhere else."

However, she couldn't guess where the Li family would put the things. Li Jianguo's parents were cunning old foxes, not easy to catch. If she couldn't find any clues here, she could only start with their good-for-nothing son. She had to personally follow Li Jianguo.

She, Black Tiger, and Fatty Tiger returned to the educated youth settlement, had breakfast, and then went back to the county town.

In terms of tracking people, Black Tiger was not only more agile than her, but also less likely to be detected, so she released Black Tiger to help.

"Black Tiger, can we communicate remotely?" If possible, she wanted to go to the black market to discuss a deal with Boss Biao.

"No. Currently, if the distance between us exceeds one hundred meters, we can't hear each other."

"You mean, the distance can be increased in the future?"

"Yes. At first, the distance was ten meters, and it gradually increased, which you may not have noticed. This is determined by the level of understanding between us. The higher the level of understanding between us, the farther we can transmit our voices."

"I see, Black Tiger. We've been getting along well all along, and our teamwork will definitely increase even more."

"Yes."

"Alright then, let's follow Li Jianguo first, and then find some time to talk to Boss Biao about doing business."

"good."

With Black Tiger's help, they quickly located Li Jianguo's whereabouts.

The Li couple were usually very busy and neglected to discipline Li Jianguo, but they were afraid that he would cause trouble for them, so they arranged a position for him at the glass factory.

Li Jianguo was an incompetent and lazy worker. He would never work honestly. Relying on his parents' power, he would sneak out of work to fool around and threaten other employees not to tell on him. Naturally, those employees obeyed.

If an employee reports him, at most he'll lose his job; those employees have their parents backing them up. But he doesn't want to lose his secure job, so he's been able to stay in the factory without any problems.

Luo Jingyan was still dressed as Dong Xiao. After learning of Li Jianguo's whereabouts, she secretly followed him, while Hei Hu stayed closer to Li Jianguo.
