"Then come with me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Sinian immediately pulled the person aside to whisper to them.
"What's going on? We didn't release the goods, so why are you taking people to inspect them? Do you know how dangerous that is?"
Su Ying looked unconcerned. "We'll use the old method. Didn't we see an abandoned factory over there when we first arrived?"
"So you mean..."
“Yes. You hold them off for a bit, and I’ll take out all the supplies from my space. Let’s see how much the old lady can eat.”
Gu Sinian was still worried, "But... what if they want our supplies but don't give us much? Wouldn't we be at a disadvantage?"
Su Ying shook her head. "No, you've forgotten who I am. I'm the daughter of a capitalist. I can tell the quality of things and their value with just one glance."
"To put it bluntly, old objects are the least valuable things now. Besides, they know that it's not safe to keep old objects around, so it's better to replace them all with edible things."
“We’ll use all our supplies to get all the good stuff from the old lady. From now on, she can just lie down and be well-fed and clothed.”
"Besides, we have children to raise, and there are many expenses, as well as Xiaobao's dowry and Chenchen's future wife's dowry."
Gu Sinian looked helpless. What was all this about? It was going way off topic.
"Stop. What you're talking about is too far in the future. I can't think that far ahead. All the supplies in this space are yours. You can do whatever you want with them. If we run out of supplies, we can buy more."
Su Ying was just waiting for the man to say this: "We've traveled through many cities on our way back to Beijing, so why don't we bring back more supplies to support our child?"
"Okay. I'll do whatever you say."
After the couple discussed it, they went up to Grandma Hao and said, "We've already hidden the goods. If you want to inspect them, you can come with us."
Hao Zhen was so happy she almost jumped for joy. They hadn't seen each other for a month, and they had already finished all the things they had bought from the couple.
I finished eating last week, and recently I bought a lot of food from the black market, but the quality of the food is not good, and it's ridiculously expensive.
I managed to sell quite a few old items, but they were only enough to fill my stomach.
But she still longed for the fish chunks and dried yellow peaches that the couple made, so she kept the old items with the best water content for the couple.
After all, they are quite generous, and the quality of their goods is good. I would feel bad if I didn't give them what I had.
Is it really possible?
"Of course you can. It's only natural to inspect the goods before paying when buying them."
Grandma Hao was overjoyed. "Can I bring one more person to inspect the goods? Don't worry, you can trust this person. He has a lot of good stuff on him and he definitely won't cheat you."
Su Ying nodded, "No problem. Just bring them. Find out their location as soon as possible..."
Before she could finish speaking, Old Mrs. Hao made a gesture, and the person emerged from the shadows, revealing a face without any disguise.
It seems they really trust them.
The young man walked up to them and nodded as a greeting.
“He is my old friend’s grandson. He was supposed to come today, but unfortunately he is sick, so I had to send his grandson to take over.”
"Hello. Just call me Ah Sheng."
Gu Sinian and Su Ying nodded to him, "Hello."
After the introductions were over, Su Ying got straight to the point, "Come with me. Moving things will take a while, so it's better to finish as soon as possible."
Grandma Hao and Ah Sheng nodded in agreement. Indeed, they had come to the black market simply to survive.
Being sent to the countryside was tough; it was just a way to make a living.
The two followed Gu Sinian and Su Ying for quite a distance, and ended up on the same route as where they had come from, which saved them a lot of trouble.
When the two arrived at the abandoned factory, Su Ying gave Gu Sinian a look, and then they started working together.
Su Ying went in first, followed naturally by Old Madam Hao and Ah Sheng. Gu Sinian suddenly reached out and blocked their way.
"I'm sorry. We brought quite a few people with us when we came. They are all deliverymen, just villagers who want to earn a living. They have no ill intentions and don't want to see anyone."
"Besides, you don't want too many people to see your faces, to avoid any unforeseen complications."
Hao Zhen and A Sheng looked at each other, understanding the villagers' predicament. Whoever was doing these things would be better off.
After all, speculation and profiteering are serious crimes.
"We understand."
"Yes, yes, we understand. This is actually better for us."
Gu Sinian smiled, thinking that they were all sensible and intelligent people, and he liked dealing with them.
"Thank you for your understanding. On the contrary, we will not interfere too much with who you hire to transport the goods or where they are transported."
Both sides reached a consensus and stood silently by, waiting.
"The villagers are sensible; they'll leave soon."
The two nodded slightly, indicating their understanding.
About twenty minutes later, Su Ying finally came out of the abandoned factory and took them inside to inspect the goods.
When Grandma Hao and Asheng saw so many supplies, their eyes lit up.
Seeing how many supplies they had, the two swallowed hard. They wandered among the supplies, pulling out items to examine them.
If it's edible, put it in your mouth to taste it; if it's not edible, smell it to determine its freshness.
Grandma Hao went straight up to the fish pieces she had been craving, because she couldn't enjoy her meals without them.
