Hong Nantian asked Niu Sanlai to put down the teapot and go find the account book. He poured the tea himself and asked Xiao Ma to take a break and drink some water.

When the account book was brought, he picked up a pen and wrote down what goods Lian Xiaomin had reported.

50,000 kilograms of rice, 50,000 kilograms of flour, 80,000 kilograms of corn flour, and 10,000 kilograms of soybeans.

Three hundred rolls of pure cotton cloth, two hundred rolls of Dacron cloth, one hundred rolls of woolen cloth, and one hundred watches for men and women each.

As soon as these supplies were reported, Xiao Ma was so happy that he didn't know what to do. This is the God of Wealth.

He was just about to think about quoting prices for each one when Lian Xiaomin spoke first.

"Xiao Hong, we have worked together before, and I still trust you. To tell you the truth, we can get more supplies in the future, but I have a request."

Hong Nantian nodded immediately, looking serious.

"You said~"

"Food is the main thing. I can give you a lower price. I also hope you won't sell it too high because these fine grains are in short supply."

Hong Nantian looked at her steadily, and roughly understood what she was thinking.

Xiao Ma is a man with a big heart.

"I understand what you mean. I promise I will never raise the price too much. I will try to keep it as low as possible."

Lian Xiaomin nodded in satisfaction: "Well, just assume that we are going by quantity, not unit price."

Xiao Hong thought secretly in his heart, really, look at his tone, and he is also "selling in large quantities", it seems that there is a lot of supply. I am really lucky to be able to cooperate with Xiao Ma.

"Also, if we're going to pay, I want gold bars and good quality jewelry, preferably old items. What do you think? Calculate the amount first."

The cloth is also very valuable. A roll of one hundred meters is worth about two hundred yuan.

Among the six hundred rolls given to Xiaohong, many were made of woolen material, which was not cheap.

Based on the lowest wholesale price, all the fabrics would cost about 140,000 yuan in total.

Lian Xiaomin grows cotton in his space and uses a fabric production line found in the dock containers. He produces all kinds of fabrics in his spare time. There are plenty of these.

There are cloth shops in Hong Kong too. Of course, the cloths sold there are more novel in style.

The ones given to Xiaohong are the most common ones, mainly in solid and dark colors.

Xiao Hong calculated the bill, and the two of them compared the bills with each other and found that the goods were worth 290,000 yuan.

One yellow croaker costs 2,500 yuan, and if he needs 100 of them, that would be 250,000 yuan. He can get the money from the gold bars.

The remaining 40,000 yuan can be replaced by jewelry and old items, and Xiao Ma can choose the good quality items to take away. That will be enough.

In fact, there are quite a lot of jewelry and old items.

After all, this is Shanghai, a big place with a rich history. There are many people who have good things in their hands. There are too many good things collected on the black market in recent years.

The two of them discussed it and decided on all the specific details. At this time, the food arrived one after another, so they started to have dinner first.

The two continued chatting while eating.

"Xiao Hong, last time I asked Lin Zi to deliver the goods to you, but something went wrong in the suburbs. This time, I am prepared and have brought enough people."

"… Prepare a few places, give me the warehouse address and key, and I will be responsible for transporting them directly tonight. You don't need to interfere."

When Hong Nantian heard this, he thought it was a great convenience as it saved him a lot of trouble, so he immediately asked Niu San to make the arrangements.

They had the place, so they took the keys and gave them to Xiao Ma, and wrote the address on a piece of paper.

In fact, it is not too far away, but it is divided into three large courtyards.

After all, there are so many supplies this time, and the place is too small to store the food.

This time, Lian Xiaomin didn't ask him for sacks. There were bags of grain in the space that she had stockpiled with money before she traveled through time. She planned to take that batch and clear out the stock.

It's already past seven in the evening. In such a short time, Xiao Hong can't take out much even if he asks for a bag.

I want to make a quick decision, so I'll put all the food and supplies away tonight, and leave Shanghai as soon as I get the money tomorrow morning.

They agreed that after five o'clock tomorrow morning, Xiao Hong could take people to check the supplies in the three compounds, and then come back here after eight o'clock to settle the bill together.

After the meal, Lian Xiaomin was about to say goodbye and leave. Before leaving, Hong Nantian said something.

He has an older cousin named Qu Lidong, who also does black market business in Nanjing, and he actually led the business.

Hong Nantian's mother is from there and married to Shanghai.

A cousin is naturally a reliable person who knows you inside and out.

If we can provide them with some food, they will definitely be able to eat it.

Lian Xiaomin thought about it and decided that it was not impossible, as she happened to be passing through Nanjing on the way, so she nodded and agreed.

Hong Nantian was very happy to see that she agreed.

He said he would call there tomorrow and try to contact his eldest cousin and let them know, so that Xiao Ma could go there and do the transaction directly.

Lian Xiaomin also mentioned that transactions require gold bars, jewelry, and old items.

She doesn't want cash, as she still has 220,000 in Great Unity in her space.

The ten-yuan Great Unity banknote was officially issued in 1966 and ceased to circulate on July 1, 2000.

After the reform and opening up, she will be able to return to the mainland to spend some money, but the space she has is enough.

That was settled. Lian Xiaomin left Xiaohong's yard, making an excuse to arrange the transportation of supplies.

She got on her bike and left the alley leading to the black market.

The street lights were already on and it was still early, so she planned to put the goods away after eleven o'clock.

It was late at night and quiet, so it was convenient to get things done.

There are still three hours left, so there is plenty of time. I also have something to do, so I have to go to Zhao Chuzhou's house.

Zhao Chuzhou is a good man, loyal to the Pei family and kind-hearted. When he knew that Yan Haixia was Dean Yan's child, he helped so many people without hesitation.

In this day and age, it is rare to be willing to take such a risk.

The last time she came to Shanghai, Lian Xiaomin happened to meet Yan Haixia in a restaurant. She heard that the female enemy spy from the Pigeon Committee wanted to frame Zhao Chuzhou, and she even took action to eliminate three spies.

Relying on memory, I found the Zhao family's home. It was already completely dark and there was no one in the alley.

Lian Xiaomin had an idea and took out a bag of rice and a bag of flour from the space, both weighing 100 kilograms, and stacked them on the back seat of the bicycle.

Even if you have money, you can't buy food now. September is the time before the autumn harvest, and food is particularly scarce. Give him some fine grains.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door. After a while, someone came out. It was Zhao Chuzhou himself who opened the door.

He has two sons, both of whom are married and live in houses allocated by their work units, so there are only him and his wife Li Qingru living at home, which is both spacious and quiet.

As soon as Zhao Chuzhou opened the door, he saw a girl in navy blue clothes and a straw hat, looking up at him. He immediately recognized her. It was Miss Lian!

He didn't know Lian Xiaomin's specific name. When Pei Yaohui introduced her, he said that this benefactor's surname was Lian.

The benefactor of the Pei family is his benefactor. He never expected that he would suddenly appear outside his house today, and he hurriedly and happily invited him in.
