Mr. Qian carefully recorded the accounts, and then Lian Xiaomin continued, "In addition, I have a request. Don't sell the food at too high a price. People are almost starving now. You can't set such a high price. If someone from above notices it, they will conduct a strict investigation and it will be easy to cause trouble. If you can really do what I say in our cooperation, you will definitely benefit from it in the future. I have a lot of supplies here, and I will sell them all to you. But if you sell the food at too high a price and I find out, we will have to break up in the future."

In fact, Lian Xiaomin secretly doesn't want to sell the grain at a high price, and she wants to sell more coarse grains, hoping that people here can have something to eat. Alas, her power is limited, so she will try her best in the future.

She found that people in Northeast China at that time generally ate sorghum rice. During this time in the space, she had been using the 30 acres of land to grow sorghum, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes, and had not planted rice, wheat, etc.

Sweet potatoes used to cost only a few cents per pound, but now they can be eaten as food during famines, and they cost only a few cents. Rice and flour are not affordable for ordinary families, so they have to be treated as precious nutritional supplements, and only patients, children, and pregnant women can eat some to supplement their nutrition.

Workers with stable jobs now only earn 20 to 30 yuan a month. Rural people who rely on working and earning work points can earn even less.

After this month, she has harvested several crops in the space and stored them in the warehouse. The yield of the black soil in the space is very good, and it will mature in about five days.

The autumn harvest has just ended, so no matter what, there will not be a shortage of food in the market for the time being.

But it is foreseeable that soon after the distributed food is eaten up, every household will face severe famine.

Mr. Qian listened carefully to what Lian Xiaomin said and promised solemnly: "Brother Lin, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I, Qian Gui, will definitely do what I promised you. It's not easy for ordinary people in these years of famine. I will still sell it at the usual black market price, or even a few cents lower."

In fact, for Mr. Qian, this is a business without any capital. He knows that Lin Zi is not an ordinary person. Otherwise, how could he have so many in-demand goods? He dared to give them to him to sell directly. If he dared to do so, he must have strength and backup, and he must not be offended.

As long as he worked hard, he would make a lot of money, and the five guys who had been following him would be able to support their families. So he repeatedly expressed his willingness to do what the other party said.

Lian Xiaomin nodded with satisfaction.

She took out a bag from her backpack, put it on the table and pushed it to Mr. Qian, saying, "Here are some bananas and oranges, and those three boxes are tea. I see you like tea, so I'll give these to you. You can also give some fruits to those guys to try. I'll bring you another batch of fruits to sell next time."

Mr. Qian looked at the fruits, they were really juicy. Bananas were relatively rare, and each bunch looked very fresh. Although oranges were common, these oranges were too big and full of juice. He thought to himself, this is a capable person!

When it’s almost the New Year, oranges sell better and people buy them like crazy!

Look at this tea, the best black tea. He usually only drinks some tea foam, which is rare. Lin Zi gave him a lot of it at once. It's a big favor. How come Lin Zi has so many good things?

Mr. Qian happily thanked him a few words and accepted the gifts.

So Lian Xiaomin got up and said goodbye, and agreed to arrange for the goods to be delivered to the warehouse before tonight, and then Mr. Qian would bring people to pick up the goods early tomorrow morning.

I came out early this morning. Lian Xiaomin looked at her watch and it was only ten o'clock in the morning.

She went to Mr. Qian's warehouse again and put the goods down. Anyway, they would not pick up the goods until tomorrow morning, so they would not know what time it was delivered. Even if they knew it was delivered earlier, it would not matter.

After entering the yard and locking the door, Lian Xiaomin went back into the house and locked the door again. In order to avoid being seen taking things out of thin air, she was very cautious.

She took out liquor, canned fruit, canned luncheon meat, quilts, cotton cloth, enamel basins, and food from the space. The cotton cloth she took was red and gray.

The food could not be stored in one room, so they went to the second room and put enough corn kernels, potatoes and sweet potatoes in.

During this period, she learned a new skill about the space. All the materials she brought from 2023 in the space can be processed by her mind to erase the trademarks and all things with traces of age. This is so convenient!

After walking out of the yard, locking the door and leaving, Lian Xiaomin suddenly remembered that she had met a cotton mill canteen director named Wang De last time, and he had left her his address.

She would not go to the cotton mill, but today happened to be Sunday, and Wang De might be at home, so she might as well go there.

I found Building No. 1 in the cotton mill’s staff quarters. I remember that the innermost household on the first floor was Wang De’s.

Lian Xiaomin knocked on the door, and soon someone answered and opened the door. It was indeed Wang De.

She simply didn't go into the house, motioned for him to talk outside, and waited for him in the north alley outside the staff quarters.

Wang De agreed, closed the door, went to the inner room to say hello to his family, then put on his coat and hurried out to meet Lian Xiaomin.

They met at the entrance of the alley and walked another seven or eight meters inside. Wang De said attentively, "Hey, little brother, I've been waiting for you. You finally came to find me. Do you have any goods for me now?"

Lian Xiaomin said, "Brother Wang, I'm on my way here today. I think you should be at home on Sunday, so I came to take a look. This time I have 1,000 kilograms of flour, 8,000 kilograms of corn kernels, 1,000 kilograms of broken rice, 1,000 kilograms of soybeans, and 500 kilograms of pork. Take a look at these and see if you want them."

"Yes, of course I can refuse that. That's great. Are the prices of rice, noodles and pork still the same as last time? How about the soybeans?" Wang De asked happily.

Lian Xiaomin replied: "Yes, it's the same as last time. Soybeans are 0.4 yuan per pound, the same as corn kernels. If you want all of them, give me 5,800 yuan in total."

Wang De asked again: "Is the big pumpkin from last time gone?"

Lian Xiaomin thought that Wang De's situation was a one-time deal, and it would be very risky to ship the goods in the future. There would probably be no future, so she might as well give him some more this time.

"The pumpkins are gone, but if you want them, we still have 1,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes and potatoes, and 5,000 kilograms of sorghum rice. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are 0.2 yuan, and sorghum rice is 0.38 yuan."

"Okay, I want them all. When can I pick them up? Where can I trade them?"

Lian Xiaomin thought for a moment and said, "Five days later, at 10 o'clock in the evening, you will come to the same dilapidated temple to pick up the goods. The sweet potatoes, potatoes, and sorghum rice are 2,300 yuan, plus the 5,800 we agreed on before, the total is 9,100 yuan."

After the two of them agreed, Lian Xiaomin quickly left.
