Chapter 141 Purchase of Cold-Resistant Supplies
Chen Guangli dozed off out of boredom. When he saw Xia Xiaoman getting off the SUV, he suddenly perked up and said with a smile, "Little girl, long time no see. Where have you been making money during this time?"
Xia Xiaoman threw the undelivered pack of cigarettes to Chen Guangli and said, "These days, it's good enough if you don't starve to death. How can you make a fortune?"
"Brother Chen, do you have any down jackets and snow boots? Can you help me get a few sets?"
Chen Guangli did not dislike the cigarettes. He naturally opened the cigarette box, took out a cigarette and lit it. "Cold-resistant and warm items are in short supply now. It's hard for you to buy them on the market. But you came to me, so you found the right person."
"My friend has a batch of good stuff. They have never been soaked in water or opened. They are all brand new high-end down jackets. In addition to down jackets, he also has wool sweaters, wool scarves, socks and gloves..."
Xia Xiaoman couldn't help but interrupt him, "Did your friend sell clothes before?"
"Hey, how did you know?" Chen Guangli tried his best to sell. "My friend was in the clothing business before the natural disaster, so you can rest assured about the goods he has. They are absolutely 100% good. But the price is just this..."
Xia Xiaoman said, "The price is negotiable. As long as the goods are good, I can accept it even if it is a little more expensive."
Hearing this, Chen Guangli immediately showed a bright smile, "I knew you knew what was good. Wait a minute, I'll tell my colleagues and I'll take you to my friend's house later."
After a while, Chen Guangli got into Xia Xiaoman's SUV and instructed him how to get to his friend's house.
After driving for more than ten minutes, they arrived in front of a two-story self-built small western-style building. Chen Guangli pointed at the small western-style building and said, "This is my friend's home. At this time, he should be setting up a stall in the black market, but his wife should be at home."
Xia Xiaoman responded, parked the car, and walked to the door of the small Western-style building with Chen Guangli.
Chen Guangli knocked on the door and shouted, "Sister-in-law! It's me, Xiao Chen!"
After shouting several times, a light suddenly appeared in the window of the small western-style building, and then the door opened from the inside. A graceful woman opened the door and glanced at Chen Guangli and Xia Xiaoman, "Is there anything wrong?"
Chen Guangli smiled and said, "This little girl wants to buy some warm clothes. I remember my sister-in-law has a lot of them at home, so I brought her to have a look."
Upon hearing this, the woman stared at Xia Xiaoman for a while. Seeing that she didn't look like a dangerous person, she stepped aside and invited them in.
As Chen Guangli walked, he introduced: "This is Liang Ru, you can call her Sister Ru."
Xia Xiaoman nodded to Liang Ru, "Sister Ru, can I see your goods?"
"Come with me!" Liang Ru, wearing high heels, led Xia Xiaoman and the others into the compartment on the first floor. "The ones on the left were fished out of the flood and dried. The ones on the right are brand new. Choose for yourself and then we'll talk about the price."
After saying this, Liang Ru was not afraid that they would embezzle the goods, so she turned back to the living room, sat on the sofa, poured herself a glass of wine and sipped it slowly.
Chen Guangli lowered his voice and said in Xia Xiaoman's ear: "Take your time to choose, and don't have any bad intentions. Don't look at your sister-in-law as weak and fragile, she is more ruthless than anyone else when it comes to dealing with people!" After that, he left the compartment and went to the living room to talk to Liang Ru.
Xia Xiaoman didn't take Chen Guangli's words seriously. Although she was greedy, she knew what to do and what not to do. Since she had agreed to come to buy supplies, she would not do such petty theft.
There were a lot of goods in the compartment, including clothes, shoes and socks, but there was no hat. But this was not a big problem, if there was no hat, she would just choose a few down jackets with hoods.
After picking and choosing, I took 6 thick down jackets and down pants, 5 ordinary cotton coats, 10 wool sweaters, 2 wool scarves, 20 pairs of wool socks, 5 pairs of wool gloves, 4 sets of thick thermal underwear and 10 pairs of snow boots.
After moving the selected clothes, shoes and socks into the living room, Xia Xiaoman said, "Sister Ru, I want all of these. Can you calculate the price?"
Liang Ru exhaled smoke, put out the cigarette, walked over and counted the things she picked out, "Two thousand kilograms of coal, once you get the coal, you can take these things away."
"Two thousand kilograms of coal?" Xia Xiaoman frowned. If Liang Ru wanted other supplies, she could take some out of the space, but coal...
Chen Guangli saw her dilemma and said, "Sister-in-law, it's hard to get coal now. How about... changing to other materials?"
When Liang Ru heard this, a trace of displeasure appeared on her face. At this moment, the sound of a baby crying came from upstairs. Liang Ru's face changed instantly and she ran upstairs quickly.
Seeing Liang Ru abandoning them, Chen Guangli was afraid that Xia Xiaoman would be dissatisfied, so he explained: "The child upstairs is my sister-in-law's son, who is only seven months old. Maybe the child is not feeling well, so my sister-in-law is anxious. Don't mind it."
Xia Xiaoman shook her head, "It's okay, it's normal for children to cry."
After waiting for about half an hour, the baby's crying gradually disappeared. Not long after, Liang Ru came down from upstairs. Seeing that Xia Xiaoman and the others were still there, she said impatiently: "These clothes can only be exchanged for coal. If you are willing to exchange, you can exchange them. If you are not willing, please leave!"
Her tone was not good, but Xia Xiaoman was too lazy to argue with her because she had just given birth, and said, "I can get some milk powder. Can I exchange it for milk powder?"
"Milk powder?" Liang Ru looked at Xia Xiaoman in surprise, "Is it milk powder for babies?"
Xia Xiaoman nodded and said, "Can I exchange 30 cans of milk powder for these clothes?" It is not easy to get milk powder now.
Liang Ru frowned and thought for a moment, "If your milk powder is of good quality, 50 cans of milk powder can be exchanged for these things."
"The price is high, but I can guarantee that the quality of the milk powder I got is absolutely fine. Sister Ru, you should know that you can't find good quality baby milk powder in Fucheng right now. 30 cans of milk powder is the highest price I can offer."
Under extremely high temperatures, even the best-sealed milk powder will go bad. The milk powder in her space is the same condition when she takes it out as it was before putting it into the space. She can definitely say that it is unique in Fucheng.
Liang Ru thought for two seconds and said, "30 cans of milk powder, plus 5 bottles."
Xia Xiaoman was silent for a moment, and used her consciousness to search for supplies in the space. After confirming that there were bottles in the space, she slowly nodded, "Okay, I'll bring the milk powder and bottles over around this time tomorrow night."
After the two parties discussed the terms of the transaction, Xia Xiaoman did not stay long and said goodbye.
Back in the car, Chen Guangli said apologetically, "Girl, I'm sorry! Liang Ru wasn't so unkind before, but after giving birth, she became more and more cold and indifferent to everyone. Don't take it to heart."
Xia Xiaoman smiled and shook her head. "It's okay. My purpose is to get the down jacket, not to make friends. I don't care about her attitude, as long as she can give me the goods."
After that, she took out a Huanghelou cigarette from her bag and threw it to him, "Brother Chen, thank you for your help this time. I can do it myself tomorrow. No need to trouble you."
When Chen Guangli saw the unopened Yellow Crane Tower, he immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum, "No trouble, no trouble, next time you have something, just come to me, as long as Brother Chen can help, I will definitely help!"
