"Hmm, tropical fruits seem to be different. Due to transportation limitations, as long as freshness can be guaranteed, tropical fruits should be very expensive in the capital."
Gu Yunyang wasn't worried at all about not being able to sell it at a good price.
There are always many wealthy people.
The poor are still struggling below the poverty line and cannot even afford coarse grains.
These are the three most difficult years ever.
Because of the drought and crop failure in the Central Plains granary, there is a food shortage throughout the country.
But some people can still afford to eat fine food every day and still have spare money to buy snacks and fruit.
However, you can't force a sale, so Gu Yunyang naturally wouldn't bring up what he had.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go in first. We still have some items; once we sell them all, I'll go get some more. Will we be able to just come in directly, or will we need to pay again?"
Gu Yunyang asked the question casually.
This caught the goalkeeper's eye, but he didn't speak up.
"Well, I was supposed to buy another one. But I'm in a good mood today, so if I'm still here later, you can just go out and bring your things over, and I won't charge you another ticket."
Gu Yunyang knew perfectly well that this person might have some ulterior motives.
Gu Yunyang didn't know if the person in charge behind the scenes had changed, or if there was some other situation.
Anyway, he has superpowers at his disposal and can enter the space at any time, so he is not afraid of his personal safety.
"Okay, thank you very much."
Gu Yunyang thanked him and went inside with his basket on his back.
There's an alleyway inside that leads to a courtyard house.
There were quite a few people inside.
Watching Gu Yunyang walk in with his basket on his back, the other, thin gatekeeper asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
If you don't charge me anymore, can you really make that decision?
The tall gatekeeper chuckled, "Don't you think about it? Our boss's been having a fierce battle with that guy from the South City lately. But what are we lacking?"
"you mean?"
"Yes. This guy doesn't seem to lack supplies. If possible, I'd like to speak to the boss and recommend him to him."
"Are you crazy?" the skinny man exclaimed in surprise. "In our line of work, safety is the most important thing. Do you even know who he is? You dare to recommend him like that? What if he has ulterior motives? Do you know what the consequences will be?"
"So I need to take another look before reporting back to the boss. You can trust the boss's judgment, right? He makes the decisions. We just need to report what we see truthfully. As for anything else, that's not something we should be considering."
After a long silence, the thin man finally nodded: "Okay, you're right."
They don't have that kind of insight themselves, so they just need to do their own thing.
Whether or not to contact this person is not within their consideration.
That's something the boss should consider.
Gu Yunyang didn't care what happened next. Since he had disguised himself, he could leave at any time before danger arrived.
To attract the people behind the black market, you must first demonstrate your capabilities.
He didn't rush to make a move, but instead took a walk around and found out the price.
Keep your eyes open and your ears attentive.
There are many grain sellers in this black market, and the prices are relatively stable.
The current market price is 15 cents per pound for rice and 18 cents for first-grade high-gluten flour.
But those all required food coupons, and there were quantity restrictions.
The price of premium grain on the black market is much higher, at least three times higher.
Especially in the past two years, the drought has reduced even the workers' rations, making premium grain even scarcer and more expensive.
Gu Yunyang took a look around and found that the rice cost at least 60 cents a pound, and it was mixed with some pebbles and sand.
Rich and strong flour starts at 75 cents.
"It really isn't cheap."
