After leaving the black market, Shen Mu Ning went straight to an abandoned courtyard she had seen in the north of the city. Some of the outer walls of the courtyard had collapsed, and only a few of the houses inside were still intact. There were also few people around, making it a suitable place for her to trade with Gu Yong later.
She tidied up a relatively intact room a bit, at least the floor wasn't so dusty. It was just for storing food for a while, so there was no need to be too particular.
After tidying up, Shen Mu Ning piled 1,000 jin of cornmeal, 1,000 jin of flour, and 3,000 jin of rice in the center of the room. These grains were in 100-jin bags, a total of fifty bags. She had found these grains at a grain base, and they were all packed in burlap sacks, so she didn't need to change the bags. She gave most of them to the base, kept some for herself, and left several hundred jin in the kitchen of her spatial dimension—food she would keep for herself before the space's grains matured. She didn't know how long it would take for the space's grains to mature, so she decided to keep enough for herself.
An hour later, Gu Yong arrived with four men, pulling two carts.
As soon as Gu Yong entered the house, he saw the piles of grain and immediately told He Lao Er to unload the cotton, watches, and bicycles from the cart.
Upon seeing this, Shen Mu Ning immediately asked Gu Yong to inspect the goods. Gu Yong didn't stand on ceremony; this wasn't a small transaction, and he needed to check the quality of the grain. After a thorough inspection, he discovered that all the grain was indeed of special supply quality. Without further ado, he took out 1,700 yuan and various receipts and handed them to Shen Mu Ning. He also gave her a bicycle, a watch, cotton, and various seeds, including rice, wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and various vegetable seeds.
Shen Mu Ning put away the seeds and watch, then tied the cotton to the bicycle. Watching Gu Yong and the others carrying grain onto the cart outside, she said goodbye to Gu Yong: "Brother Gu, you carry the grain first, I'll be going now."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yong quickly moved closer to Shen Mu Ning. "Brother Shen, can you still get such high-quality grain? If you can, you must support Brother Gu's business." Gu Yong was also thinking of building a good relationship with Shen Mu Ning. This special-supply quality grain was not easy to obtain. If Brother Shen could get some to sell to him, he would make a fortune.
Shen Mu Ning immediately understood Gu Yong An's intentions. However, it was a pity that she would only sell to him this once. Even if there was grain to sell in the future, she wouldn't be here anymore. With these thoughts running through her mind, she casually replied, "Brother Gu, you know that this quality of grain is really hard to come by. If I manage to get any more in the future, I will definitely bring it to you first."
Gu Yong wasn't disappointed after hearing this. Indeed, good grain is hard to come by, and his transaction with Brother Shen this time was quite smooth. He figured that Brother Shen wouldn't forget him if he had any good stuff to sell.
After a brief conversation, Shen Mu Ning rode her bicycle ahead, until she reached a deserted street corner far from the courtyard, where she stored the cotton in her spatial storage.
Meanwhile, on Gu Yong's side, one of his underlings asked his boss, "Boss, should we find someone to follow that kid surnamed Chen?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yong slapped the underling on the back of the head: "Are you stupid? Someone who can get special-supply quality grain is not someone to be trifled with. Besides, do you think he could get five thousand catties of grain all by himself so quickly? You still want to follow me!"
Gu Yong was a man of principle, so he would never do something like double-crossing. Besides, the young man was very calm and composed when facing him, and he knew that the young man was quite capable, so why should he go and court death?
