The auntie agreed and quickly turned to walk towards the group of people who were talking noisily at the counter.

"You guys go back first. Xiao Chu said he needs to think about it some more. I'll let you know if he places an order. It won't take long; we'll have the results tonight," the auntie said to the other store owners.

"Could it be that they saw the total price and couldn't afford it?" one of the men said somewhat displeased.

The aunt glared at him and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense. Xiao Chu is a money-making machine. If you look unhappy and make him leave, I will never call you again for business. You should go back first. I will let you know as soon as I have the results later."

They were used to working together, and doing business was all about you making requests and me giving a price; whether it would work out or not was uncertain. So, no one had any bad feelings. Besides, the aunt was an old friend of theirs, and she had said she was a god of wealth, so she couldn't be wrong.

As soon as the person left, the aunt immediately pulled her husband aside and told him about Xiao Chu making a deposit for the gold. The man was a little suspicious, but after thinking for a moment, he said to the aunt as if he had made up his mind: "Find out the spray gun at home. As long as the gold is real, what is there that we wouldn't dare to accept? If this deal goes through, we'll have made back what we've earned in the last two or three years."

Li Ke let them burn and test the gold. After hearing the couple agree to the deal, he said, "I hope this matter is only known to the three of us for now. After I pay the full amount, how to divide it is your business. Otherwise, if others find out that I have revealed my wealth and something happens to me, I will just ask my uncle and aunt for clues."

Since the couple had accepted the business, there was no reason for them to disagree. The male boss looked at the gleaming gold and assured him, "Don't worry, Mr. Chu, we sincerely want to make this deal, and we dare not let anything go wrong."

Li Ke left a deposit and selected several forklifts, loaders, excavators, generators, water pumps, chainsaws, and other machinery that she might need, asking the boss to deliver them to her warehouse today. She also asked for ten boxes of diesel and ten boxes of gasoline.

The couple calculated that these items, totaling three to four hundred thousand yuan, could still be sent ahead of schedule. In addition, the couple also sent several books on the use and maintenance of agricultural machinery and tools, which Li Ke accepted.

Li Ke requested that the other goods be delivered over three days within the final deadline.

Li Ke then went to the nearby seed market and went into the largest seed wholesale store again. He wanted 1,000 jin of various grain seeds, 500 jin of miscellaneous grain seeds, 100 bags of vegetable and fruit seeds, and 50 jin of loose seeds.

The boss calculated the accounts, totaling 5.8 million. Li Ke looked at the sky outside; it was almost four o'clock. She asked the boss, "Can all the goods be delivered tonight?"

The shop owner glanced at Li Ke calmly and said, "As long as you pay the full amount, it can be delivered today."

This was the calmest boss Li Ke had ever met who listened to her purchasing details. Li Ke took out small gold bars weighing a total of two kilograms: "These are gold bars worth two million. This is a deposit. Once the goods are delivered later, the entire payment will be settled in gold. Is that alright?"

Right now, only the owner was in the shop, and the counter was inside. Li Ke had her back to the outside, so no one could see the gold between her and the owner.

The shopkeeper took out a large pair of pliers, weighed Li Ke's gold in his hand, and asked, "Can I cut it?"
