The old lady thought about it and agreed. She was getting a melon for free, which was also a good deal for her.
If she continues to push for more, what if the other party refuses to sell it to her?
This meat will be sold out in no time if we just call for it, so we can't be stupid.
He counted out seven dollars and fifty cents and handed it to me.
Jiang Mengxue let her choose the meat herself, and the final weight was just right, not less at all.
The old lady was not surprised. There are many craftsmen nowadays. Experienced chefs and butchers can make the exact amount they say with one cut, without any deviation.
Moreover, these women who buy vegetables all year round can tell the approximate weight of the items by weighing them in their hands.
While the old lady was looking at the meat, other people had already noticed it.
They rushed over.
But the customers who came after her were not as generous as the first lady. The most they bought was two kilograms.
Someone else wanted to buy half a pound, but Jiang Mengxue was too lazy to buy it separately and didn't agree.
Half a frame of meat weighed only about 20 to 30 kilograms, and it was sold out in less than ten minutes.
There’s nothing I can do about the frames I didn’t buy later, as they are now empty. It’s my own fault that I was a step late.
"Auntie, do you have any meat left? My family hasn't had meat in a long time. Can you sell me some more?"
The person who spoke was a woman in her thirties. She was very thin, with yellow hair, and it was obvious that she was malnourished.
But she must be being targeted now, and it would be difficult for her to go out and sell the meat.
"I don't have any more, but there will be more later. Please pay attention to the news."
After saying this, she left to avoid being stared at by those who didn't buy meat.
I didn't leave in a hurry, but found a young man in his teens on the side of the road. He looked like he was from the black market.
Jiang Mengxue gave him fifty cents and asked him about the prices of black market items.
The other party had just seen Jiang Mengxue selling pork in the alley.
He doesn't look like a novice, how could he not even know the price on the black market?
But this is not his concern. As long as he is paid, there is nothing he cannot say.
After getting the information she wanted to know, Jiang Mengxue turned and left.
But the expression on his face was not relaxed.
She lived in the countryside this year and didn't know much about city life.
Gu Zhenjiang would go to the city every month to buy food for the three of them, but their household registration had not been moved back to the countryside.
Although many supplies are decreasing compared to before, it is hard to imagine how difficult life is without seeing it with your own eyes.
Gu Zhenjiang knew someone at the grain station, so buying grain was not a problem.
But it’s hard to say about others. Many of them can only barely make ends meet.
Logically speaking, the North should not reach this level, but the country also has its considerations.
The south was severely affected, so more grain was transferred to the south.
The north can be maintained for the time being.
It’s okay if the conditions are better, but life is not easy if the conditions are bad.
I originally wanted to sell only pork this time.
Now it seems better to forget it. Nothing is more important than having enough to eat.
I thought of going directly to the small courtyard of Guan Hongqi, the head of the black market.
She came here when she came to trade before, but she hasn't been here for a year. I don't know if she is still here.
“Knock knock knock!!!”
There was a knock on the door and footsteps were heard in the yard.
"Who is it? Who are you looking for?"
The other party did not rush to open the door, but asked a few questions instead.
"Looking for Guan Hongqi, or Guan Hongjun, is fine. There's business to be had."
The door of the yard was opened, revealing Guan Hongjun's head.
Guan Hongjun stuck his head out and looked outside.
I was shocked to see Jiang Mengxue's outfit.
Jiang Mengxue's outfit is very different from before.
He was covered so tightly in the winter, but now his face is exposed.
Guan Hongjun really didn't recognize him at first.
Jiang Mengxue didn't hesitate and pushed the door open and walked in.
"Where's your brother? You can't make the decision on this deal, go get someone."
Guan Hongjun was just about to ask if she knew what politeness was. He hadn't even asked her to come in, so why was she so rude?
But I got excited again when I heard there was a big deal.
"What big deal? I can call the shots in the black market now. My brother has gone to work, so I'm in charge now."
Guan Hongjun raised his face proudly, not wanting anyone to look down on him.
Jiang Mengxue was really surprised. It wasn't that she looked down on Guan Hongjun.
It's true that he has a bit of a erratic personality, so he just looked at the door.
Being in charge of the entire black market, it’s probably not far from bankruptcy, right?
Maybe Jiang Mengxue's expression was too obvious, Guan Hongjun was almost angry to death.
Why doesn't anyone trust him? When has he ever been unreliable?
"Tell me what big deal you have first. If I can't make the decision, I'll call my brother."
Jiang Mengxue knew that Guan Hongjun had not recognized her yet.
She didn't want to hide it. They had worked together before and there was some trust in each other.
This will make future cooperation smoother.
"We traded quite a few times last year. How could we forget so many watches?"
Guan Hongjun was dumbfounded. Of course he remembered such a big deal.
But he didn't recognize the old lady in front of him. She was wrapped so tightly that not even a bit of skin was exposed.
"It's you? My brother has been looking for you for a long time, but you never came."
Guan Hongqi made a lot of money from those transactions.
I originally wanted to contact Jiang Mengxue to buy more watches.
But they had no idea how to contact Jiang Mengxue.
It was always the other party who came to the black market to find them, and they only then realized that they knew nothing about this mysterious big customer.
I thought she had left, but she showed up again a year later and said there was a big business deal. How could Guan Hongjun not be excited?
"Well, my brother really doesn't have time to come over right now. He's found a job, so everything here is basically left to me.
Tell me what business you have first, my brother won’t be back until tonight.”
Jiang Mengxue raised her eyebrows. Has the gangster turned over a new leaf?
But she doesn't care who she works with.
The reason I came to them was simply because I had met them before, and it was much more reliable than looking for complete strangers.
"I have a lot of food and meat. What's the price you can offer?"
Guan Hongjun's heart was pounding.
He still remembers the other party's generous trade last year.
Now there is a large amount of food and meat, so he can make a lot of money again.
But he has to estimate the price carefully. If he says it too low and the other party turns around and leaves, he will suffer a great loss.
Guan Hongjun didn't say anything for a moment, thinking about how to make the offer.
Jiang Mengxue didn't urge him. It was obvious that this guy had just taken over, so it was normal that he couldn't make decisions too quickly on some things.
"Well, this is not a trivial matter after all, you can go and discuss it with your brother.
The first batch I will deliver here is 1,000 kilograms of white flour, 1,000 kilograms of refined rice, 2,000 kilograms of corn flour, and 2,000 kilograms of sorghum flour.
I'll come back tonight to tell you the exact price. If you can eat it, I'll give it to you.
If you can't eat tonight, tell me in advance.
We have plenty of pork, too. If you need it, it depends on your price."
