After Yan Xiao and his wife finished breakfast, Yan Xiao was worried about leaving her alone at home, so he took her with him to the house where the goods were stored to find Hei Zi.
When they arrived, Xu Xian was also there. Although the goods in Yangcheng had been sold out, the entire black market was not just filled with those trendy items.
More importantly, it concerns the grain and oil that ordinary people care about.
They collect the grain from other places and then sell it in towns and villages that are short of food.
The two were calculating how many days' worth of grain they had collected would last.
...
Xu Xian was pleasantly surprised to see Yan Xiao leading the fairy girl over.
"Sister-in-law, where did you go last night? Brother Yan was almost frantic with worry..."
Yan Xiao interrupted him: "It's my fault. I made your sister-in-law angry yesterday."
Xu Xian was incredulous when he saw this. "Your sister-in-law is so beautiful, how could you bear to make her angry?"
Hei Zi felt that Yan Xiao didn't seem like the kind of person who would make his wife angry, but he didn't say much in front of Xu Xian, who was clueless about relationships.
"Yes, I was wrong. It's understandable that she's angry with me."
Yan Xiao was polite and spoke frankly to Xu Xian without any hesitation.
Xu Xian: Tsk tsk tsk~
What a terrible mistake I made! I managed to drive my wife away yesterday...
Yan Xiao ignored his teasing. He took his wife's hand and led her to sit down on the rocking chair in the yard.
He then took a bag of dried fruit from his bag and placed it in front of her.
"Qingqing, sit here and wait for me. It won't be long, okay?"
Wen Qinghe nodded.
Yan Xiao walked up to Hei Zi, his gaze still fixed on his wife sitting in the courtyard not far away.
How much food do we have left?
When this is mentioned, the hater gets a little troubled.
"We have enough grain to circulate for three days. We need to find a way to collect the grain in the next two days, but we've already collected it from several nearby towns. Even if we do manage to collect it, the quantity may not be much."
Yan Xiao remained calm: "I have a way, but the price will be higher than before, by 17 cents. But you two can take a look at the goods first before deciding."
After saying that, Yan Xiao opened the cloth bag he carried with him and took out rice wrapped in paper.
This is the first time his wife has entrusted him with a task, and he will definitely do a great job.
What's more, this is related to his wife's secret stash of money.
…
Xu Xian and Hei Zi were initially taken aback by the price Yan Xiao offered.
Upon seeing the pristine white rice, his pupils dilated in shock and delight.
"Brother Yan! Where did you get such good stuff? This is so much better than the usual quality!"
The price is indeed a bit high. You know, the most expensive grain they usually collect is only 13 cents, while it sells for 16 or 17 cents on the market.
Yan Xiao looked troubled.
"A merchant from out of town doesn't want us to ask questions, but I only came to ask for your opinion because the quality is really good."
Xu Xian and Hei Zi looked at the rice in the paper package, which was beautiful in color and had almost uniform grain size.
They were also hesitant; if they bought it at the same price as they sold it, they didn't know if they would make a profit.
But then I thought about it again, and I guess Yan Xiao must have thought there would be a profit to be made before he told them, otherwise he would never have put this quality of rice in front of them.
So the two of them gritted their teeth and made a joint decision to take this one.
Little did they know that in Yan Xiao's heart, his wife was the apple of his eye, while his brothers were merely stepping stones.
If you're going to create a pitfall, you have to create one.
Moreover, he felt that everything his wife brought out was of good quality, and he thought the price was already a bargain for them!
They never imagined that he was also one of the partners.
...
"Besides these, that big boss also has watches, radios, washbasins and kettles, etc., which are more expensive than what we get in Guangzhou."
But he has a good supply and can supply our area regularly, so I figured we could save ourselves the trouble of going through all that trouble and just get our goods directly from him.”
Xu Xian was surprised.
"What does this boss do? How come he's so amazing, he has everything?"
Hei Zi, on the other hand, was concerned about how much more expensive Yan Xiao had mentioned.
"What price did the boss offer?"
When asked the key question, Yan Xiao remained expressionless.
"Watches are 100 yuan each, radios are 30 yuan each, washbasins are 2.5 yuan each, and kettles are 5 yuan each."
Hei Zi's lips twitched. Apart from the watch and radio, the basin and thermos only yielded a profit of two or three cents.
It just so happened to be right on his budget. If Yan Xiao hadn't also been their partner, he would have thought Yan Xiao was the big boss he was talking about...
...
Yan Xiao originally wanted to raise the price of the watch and radio, but then he remembered that the little girl had said the watch cost less than ten yuan and the radio cost more than ten yuan.
So they suppressed their desire to raise prices and opted for a gradual, long-term approach.
There are still many goods in Qingqing's space that can be sold to them. If they try to lower the price right away, they might think they should make a few more trips to Yangcheng.
…
Xu Xian and Hei Zi made a final decision: they would take one hundred watches and two hundred radios, which would bring the total to ten thousand six hundred yuan…
Yan Xiao then made a profit of 12,000 yuan by reselling the goods for his wife...
He completely ignored what his wife said: "After all, we're family helping to sell the goods, so we can lower the conditions a bit."
He has absolutely no qualms about cheating his brothers and benefiting his wife.
...
Once the order for the goods was finalized, Yan Xiao smiled slightly.
Xu Xian glanced up casually and looked at Yan Xiao's face with awe.
Suddenly, I realized that after not seeing him for a day, Brother Yan seemed to have become more handsome, and the skin between his eyebrows had also become fairer.
"Brother Yan, are you wearing makeup? You suddenly look much better."
Yan Xiao's heart tightened; he had forgotten that the water in his wife's space was unusual.
"I used some of my wife's face cream. Don't you guys always say that my dark face will scare kids?"
Xu Xian's eyes widened.
The critics were speechless.
When did Brother Yan become so effeminate? For a moment, I couldn't bear to look at him.
However, it's true that even with makeup, his face doesn't look effeminate.
…
Yan Xiao was relieved to see that the two of them didn't pry into the matter.
He can no longer use that spring water; his wife can use it herself, which is a good benefit for him...
cough…
...................
Yan Xiao learned this from the people around him.
Yesterday, only Zhang Sanfeng lingered near their gate.
A cold glint flashed in Yan Xiao's eyes.
He knew Zhang Sanfeng; he was a notorious poor bachelor in town, known for his laziness and gluttony.
He had his mother in his younger years, but now he's completely all alone.
Before taking his wife home, he first went to the wooden house where Zhang Sanfeng lived and taught him how to be a person.
The time was short, only two hours of instruction, but it was probably enough to make it unforgettable for him for the rest of his life.
