Li Hongying thought of grains and pork, and her heart stirred. Since she went to the countryside, she could only eat coarse grain cakes or even cornbread. She had only eaten pork once during the Spring Festival. Thinking of the things in Zhuang Feifei's space, she drooled with longing.
However, those things, along with Zhuang Feifei's space, would soon all be hers. The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and the corners of her lips curled up.
To hell with the Liu family and Liu Aiguo!
She's going to kick all these scumbags to the curb and live a carefree, comfortable life of effortless success.
It has been a month since the Lunar New Year. The food that every household in the city stocked up for the holiday has long been used up. After being closed for several days during the holiday, the black market in the county town has become active again.
Having experienced the previous theft of supplies, Zhuang Feifei changed her appearance again to avoid being recognized by Boss Biao and his men. This time, she dressed as a dark-faced middle-aged man and carefully traded supplies on the black market.
After arriving at the black market, Luo Jingyan still dressed up as Lao Dong so that Zhuang Feifei could recognize her.
Instead of using Fat Tiger to help her identify Zhuang Feifei like last time, she simply strolled around the stalls.
Because she knew that Zhuang Feifei could only trust her now, and if Zhuang Feifei still wanted to do business with her, she would take the initiative to contact her.
As she expected, not long after she walked past Zhuang Feifei, Zhuang Feifei took the initiative to follow her.
"Young man," Zhuang Feifei addressed her, without revealing her identity.
Luo Jingyan stopped and turned around, squinting as she asked, "Big brother, did you call me over because you need something?"
Zhuang Feifei cut to the chase, "Brother, you have an extraordinary air about you, you must be someone who's not just anyone here. You must be a businessman. I'd like to ask you if you need to buy a large quantity of goods, I have a source of them."
Luo Jingyan deliberately acted cautiously, glancing around.
When speaking to Zhuang Feifei, he was very cautious: "Brother, you really came to the right person. I'm lucky to have run into you. There are too many people around here, it's not a good place to talk. Let's find a quiet place to have a proper chat."
Zhuang Feifei felt like she had seen a savior. Old Dong was still the same Old Dong, always the same steady and trustworthy person she could rely on.
They came to a secluded corner, and only after confirming that no one could hear them talking there did they feel relieved.
Luo Jingyan asked her, "I don't know what kind of goods you can provide. Let me make one thing clear first: I'm a little different from ordinary black market dealers. Others deal in grains and fruits, but I'm not interested in ordinary grains and fruits. I want some things that are scarce in this place, things that are more novel. You should understand the principle that scarcity increases value, right? I wonder if you can meet my conditions?"
Zhuang Feifei's space is never short of rare and unusual items, all of which she brought from the modern world.
"Just tell me what you want."
"Chicken, beef, mutton, watches, fabrics, face cream for girls, toilet paper." She recalled the pain of using menstrual pads this month and missed the sanitary napkins she used in modern times—they were so convenient! She leaned close to Zhuang Feifei's ear and asked, "Do you have any of those things girls use when they have their periods? What are they called? Many leaders' families want to buy them, but unfortunately, the supply chain at the Overseas Chinese Remittance Store is limited, and they require remittance coupons. Not everyone can afford them." She frowned at Zhuang Feifei, "Brother, isn't this asking too much? I... I really want these scarce supplies."
Before her transmigration, Zhuang Feifei had stockpiled at least two thousand boxes of sanitary napkins and four thousand rolls of toilet paper, not only for her own use but also to resell them after the market opened up to obtain a large amount of cash. However, now that there are people who want them, it doesn't matter if she sells some.
After thinking it over carefully for a while, based on the two previous instances of being cheated, she decided not to ship a large quantity of goods, even though she trusted Lao Dong.
"I have everything you're talking about."
Luo Jingyan: How could there not be? If there wasn't, she wouldn't have mentioned it at all.
"Oh, brother, that's wonderful!" Luo Jingyan grasped her hand, her excitement overflowing. "I've met a benefactor, you know? I've worked with so many clients before, and they only had grain and some low-grade goods. I never expected to meet such an important person as you. Brother, you are my lucky star, my benefactor."
Zhuang Feifei glanced subconsciously at the hand that was holding hers, and even though the other person was wearing gloves, she still pulled her hand away.
This person actually tried to touch me inappropriately.
Luo Jingyan realized that Zhuang Feifei's acting skills needed improvement. Since she was pretending to be a man, her behavior and actions should also be like a man's.
How much stock can you give me?
"One thousand catties of chicken, one thousand catties of beef and mutton, and some fabrics, including polyester and cotton. We can discuss the specific prices later. I can give you twenty bolts of each. I'll give you one hundred watches, one hundred boxes of face cream, one hundred rolls of toilet paper, and one hundred boxes of sanitary napkins. Because our business deal came so suddenly, I didn't have enough preparation, so this is all I can give you for now."
The implication is that only if long-term cooperation can be achieved will large quantities of goods be shipped.
"Okay, brother, we'll do as you say. Don't worry, I'm definitely someone you can trust. Let's talk about the price."
After agreeing on the price, Zhuang Feifei suggested a transaction address. Because she trusted Lao Dong, she chose the old grain station from before.
The things Luo Jingyan bought weren't cheap, and she was running low on money in her spatial storage. She needed to get some more money from Master Biao.
"Can we make the deal in three days?" Luo Jingyan asked her.
"Can."
As they parted, Luo Jingyan said, "My surname is Dong, and people call me Old Dong. I don't know how to address you, Big Brother."
"Call me Lao, Lao Hei."
Zhuang Feifei deliberately made her face very dark this time, so Luo Jingyan called her "Old Black".
"Okay, Lao Hei, let's agree on this."
"Um."
After Luo Jingyan and Zhuang Feifei parted ways, Luo Jingyan went to find Master Biao.
The two had already done business together once and knew each other somewhat, so there was no need for excessive formalities when they met.
Brother Biao cut to the chase and asked, "Young man, how much stock do you have this time?"
"It's more than last time, if not more."
Biao Ye had been brooding for a month because of his failed double-cross. He had planned to take action against this young man last time, and now that the other party had offered himself up, he figured he might as well take advantage of this fat sheep.
Firstly, to make up for the losses and regrets of the previous failure; secondly, to replenish their own inventory.
Of course, this time he couldn't just openly double-cross people like last time; he wanted to try something new.
Hehe, Master Biao always has a knack for scheming.
"Young man, it's been so long since the New Year, and everyone's families are generally short of food. How about this, could you give me 30,000 jin of rice, 20,000 jin of flour, 10,000 jin of mixed grains, 5,000 jin of apples, and 3,000 jin of dried fruit? I wonder if you can provide them?"
