However, the black market was not Qiao Qiqi's main purpose for this trip.

After selling two baskets, seeing that it was almost time, she immediately got up and left, heading to the back door of a grocery store near the Fang family's house.

This is the location that Qiao Qiqi scouted a few days ago. She discovered that the store delivers goods from the back door at this time every day, and the drivers all get off to smoke at this time.

Peeking out, I saw that the back door was indeed unloading goods, and the driver was standing in a corner smoking.

After making sure no one was around, she immediately carried the apples over and whispered, "Sir, would you like some apples? They're imported, and I can give you a discount if you buy a lot."

The driver suddenly saw someone appear in front of him and immediately became wary. "Where are you from?"

Qiao Qiqi put the apple down and stuffed it into the master's hand. "Master, don't worry about where I came from. Try my apple first. If you think it's good, we can continue our conversation."

The driver noticed that he was thin and small, and that although this was the back door, the people unloading the goods on the truck would come running as soon as he called out. The wariness in his eyes gradually subsided.

The apple in my hand was big and red, and looked very tempting.

He had never seen such a good apple before, and he couldn't resist the temptation, so he took a bite.

He took a bite and was surprised to find that the apple was even sweeter than he had imagined; he had never eaten such a delicious apple before.

"How much does it cost?" the driver asked.

Qiao Qiqi looked at the unloading area and whispered, "These apples normally sell for 70 cents each. If you want more, I can give you a discount. I know you're a delivery driver. If you can persuade the boss to take my apples, I can give you a 2-cent kickback privately."

"!" The driver's eyes lit up.

Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Qiao Qiqi immediately pressed on.

“You’ll taste my apples once you try them. You’ll never have trouble selling them. Even if your boss only takes a basket of 60 jin (30 catties) a day, the kickback will be 1.2 yuan, which is 36 yuan a month. That’s almost your salary, right? You do the math, and you see what I mean?”

The driver was immediately tempted. "Okay, you wait here, I'll go get the boss."

After saying that, he immediately went back to find the boss, and soon returned with a man in his forties with a slightly protruding belly.

The other person looked Qiao Qiqi up and down, saw that he was a thin young man, glanced down at his basket, reached out and lifted the black cloth on it, and saw that the apples were all big and red, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"Boss, please try one first and see how my apple is before you say anything," Qiao Qiqi said.

The shopkeeper didn't stand on ceremony. He moved the apples on top to one side, and seeing that the ones on the bottom were also good, he grabbed one from the middle, wiped it on his clothes, and took a bite.

Sweet and delicious, crisp and juicy.

It's definitely a good product.

But the shopkeeper didn't ask the price directly; instead, he asked, "Are you only selling apples?"

Qiao Qiqi's eyes lit up. "Besides apples, I can also get pears, peaches and grapes, all of which are imported. It's just that the latter two are expensive and not very durable, so I didn't bring them with me."

"How much are the peaches and grapes?"

"Peaches cost one dollar and two cents, grapes cost one dollar and fifty cents."

The shopkeeper frowned. "This is too expensive. And these apples, I heard you sell them for 70 cents. What's the wholesale price?"

Qiao Qiqi smiled and said, "Normally, I would charge 63 to 65 cents if I sold it wholesale. If you want it, I'll give it to you for 62 cents. How does that sound?"

The shopkeeper took another bite of the apple. "Six cents. I'll take the whole basket. And could you also bring me some peaches and grapes this afternoon? By the way, what's the price of grapes and peaches?"

Before Qiao Qiqi could even haggle, she had to reply, "The peaches are one yuan if you want, and the grapes are one yuan and twenty cents. That's the lowest price, no bargaining!"

The shop owner thought for a moment and this time readily agreed, "Okay! Keep this basket of apples for now, and you can deliver another 40 jin of peaches and 30 jin of grapes at 3 pm."

Seeing that the other party was straightforward, Qiao Qiqi didn't mention the matter of bargaining for Apple.

Moreover, this time, because the owner had a scale, her apples could be weighed. Each basket contained 120 apples, which was 60 jin (30 catties). This time, two apples were eaten, but there were still 61 jin (36.5 catties) left.

The shop owner paid Qiao Qiqi 36 yuan directly, and waived the remaining 6 mao.

Qiao Qiqi took the money with a wry smile and didn't ask for more.

After arranging delivery with the boss in the afternoon, she secretly slipped 1.2 yuan into the driver's hand and quickly left.

After finding a secluded spot to change her clothes back into her spatial dimension, Qiao Qiqi turned back to the grocery store to buy some groceries for lunch and hurried home.

Upon entering, I noticed that Xin Xin was not in the living room, and the TV was off.

She immediately went to the guest room and found Xin Xin asleep in bed.

She went over and covered her with the blanket, then went out to cook.

At noon, it was still just Fang Ke and her mother. Fang's father was busy with work, which was a bit far from home, so he rarely came home for lunch and usually ate at the company cafeteria.

After dinner, Qiao Qiqi stayed with Xin Xin for an hour before going out to deliver the goods.

The 40 jin of peaches cost 40 yuan, and the 30 jin of grapes cost 36 yuan. The shopkeeper only gave Qiao Qiqi 75 yuan. Qiao Qiqi realized that he had cheated her out of 1 yuan, and she could only helplessly put the money in her pocket.

In one day, she sold 85 + 34.8 + 75 + 194.8, nearly 200 yuan, and it was incredibly easy! Qiao Qiqi never expected it to sell so well when she came out.

"Oh, by the way, bring another 200 jin of apples tomorrow morning," the boss suddenly said before leaving.

Qiao Qiqi knew that this meant the pears were selling well, so she immediately said, "I also have pears, which are also 60 cents a pound. My pears are especially delicious, and if you don't like them, you don't have to pay. Do you want some, boss?"

The boss hesitated for a moment, then thought for a second and said, "Then give me 100 jin (50 catties) of that too. Remember what you said, if it's not good, you don't have to pay. And those 200 jin (100 catties) of apples, they must be the same quality as today's. If the quality is worse, I won't take them!"

Qiao Qiqi can absolutely guarantee that.

"Don't worry, you can pick out any of my fruit one by one. If there's even one that's not good, I'll give it to you for free."

Seeing her confidence, the boss turned and left.

Just as she turned the corner, she heard footsteps behind her. "Wait a minute."

Qiao Qiqi turned around and saw the driver from that morning.

The other person reached out their hand directly to her, saying, "Where's my kickback? You haven't given it to me yet."

Qiao Qiqi blinked, looking completely bewildered: "What kickback?"

When the driver saw that he was trying to renege on his debt, his expression immediately changed, and he said fiercely, "You brat, are you playing me? You promised me this morning that you'd give me a 2-cent commission for every pound sold. Are you trying to renege on your promise?"
