Chapter 76 Another Deal

At one o'clock in the morning, Jinran woke up on time, packed up and set off just like last time. This time, she first put Fugui and Doujin, who were waiting at the door, into her space.

It's so annoying, like they're just following along step by step.

I drove the truck to the cemetery from last time, arriving half an hour early, so I had time to look around.

It's called a cemetery, but it doesn't feel eerie; there must be no ghosts there. Without ghosts, there's no scholar; without the scholar, there's no grandmother...

Just as Jinran was having a wild idea, Old Man Mo arrived with his men. He got out of the car and spoke to Jinran warmly: "Young man, I really hope to see you more often in the future, so we can get rich together."

Jinran replied hypocritically, "Okay, let's get rich together. Let's make a deal now. I don't want money this time, just antiques and jade."

Old Mo nodded. "Alright, everything is ready. Young man, I have a favor to ask. Could you please help me out?"

Jinran raised an eyebrow in confusion and asked, "What did you say?"

"Could you get another one of these cars? This one's really awesome."

Jinran shook her head apologetically, "I'm sorry, my brothers and I went through a lot of connections to get this. If you need any rare supplies, I can try to find a way, but there's really nothing I can do about this."

Old Mo's eyes lit up, and he immediately seized the opportunity to ask, "Young man, can you get some meat and oil?"

Jinran asked with a cold laugh, "Brother, are you waiting for me here?"

Old Mo quickly explained, "No, I just really wanted to get my hands on the car. I was just asking because you said you could think of a way to get rare supplies. If it's too much trouble, just pretend I didn't say anything. Don't let it affect our cooperation."

Jinran nodded, pretended to think for a long time, and then reluctantly said, "How about this, on the fifth of next month, I will give you a thousand catties of meat, but I'm not sure what kind of meat it is, and five hundred catties of oil. There is only one requirement: the items in the transaction must still be antiques and jade, plus Moutai liquor."

Old Mo readily agreed, saying, "Then it's a deal. I happen to have a batch of good stuff to sell, and I can handle it. Let's settle on that."

After inspecting the goods, I found that this batch was of better quality than the last one, which was evident from the quality of the jadeite.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Old Mo talked a lot. "Young man, let me tell you, the quality of our products will only get better and better. My superiors have found a way in. Although we don't get any of the top-quality items, there will only be more and more of these good quality products. These things are really worthless now, but who knows what will happen in the future? Antiques are valued in prosperous times, and gold is valued in chaotic times. The world is about to change."

Jinran's eyes flickered. Sure enough, the person above Old Man Mo had connections. He might even have a background in the system.

But what does that have to do with her?

With the transaction complete, Jinran departed gracefully.

The scarred man asked Old Man Mo, puzzled, "Master Mo, what's wrong?"

Old Mo smiled and said, "Let's just consider it a good deed!"

After saying that, he called everyone to leave.

As Jinran drove, she thought about what Old Man Mo had said. This year was 1972, and according to the normal timeline, the college entrance examination would be reinstated in five years. During this period, she could maintain this kind of transactional contact with Old Man Mo, which was relatively safe for her.

The things Old Man Mo brought out are really good. Let's leave it at that for now. But one thing is certain: these good items are not something that a small county like theirs could produce.

There must be many hidden relationships and intricate entanglements involved. She should see clearly whether she can extricate herself unscathed.

But she has a space where she can disappear at any time. However, the items from these transactions leave a mark, so she definitely can't flaunt them in large quantities anymore. She can only secretly and lewdly admire them in her space.

Okay, she'll trade then. She has way too many supplies. What's wrong with trading in some cute little things?

As Jinran was lost in thought, they arrived at their destination. Just like last time, she stored the car in her spatial storage and quickly walked up the mountain. Once she reached the same spot, she entered her spatial storage and greedily inspected her spoils. After changing her disguise, she headed home.

This time, Jinran didn't encounter anyone. After returning home, she let Doujin and Fugui out. The two of them had been playing wildly in the space, but now they had gone back to their own nest and were sleeping peacefully.
