Su Jinyan took Zhou Xingdong into the south room, picked up the basket of seafood and placed it in front of him, "Brother Dong, take a look at these seafood."
Zhou Xingdong frowned and looked down into the bamboo basket. Then he saw seafood that was much bigger than what he had. A look of surprise flashed in his calm eyes.
He grabbed a crab and threw it on the ground. After looking at it for a while, he said calmly, "Where did this thing..." come from?
Realizing that he had almost broken the rules of the industry, he quickly stopped the topic and asked, "Do you have the goods?"
Su Jinyan nodded with a smile, "Look at the shrimps, clams, and oysters."
"Every one of them is this big and fat."
"How many do you have? How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"I have a lot of goods. It depends on how much Dong Ge offers. If the price is sincere, I will give it all to you."
Zhou Xingdong was a little stumped.
Then he looked at the sack against the wall, "What is that?"
"This year's new rice has not been husked yet, the grains are large and full, and the flavor is rich and fragrant. You can take a look. This stuff is very rare, the best of the best."
Zhou Xingdong glanced at Su Jinyan and wanted to laugh. He didn't expect that Zhao Yuanyi's wife was so capable of making things happen.
But I'm also very curious about how a pregnant woman like her could get all these.
Yes, Zhou Xingdong knew Zhao Yuanyi. He and Zhu Chenggang and others were old acquaintances. On the New Year's Day, Zhu Chenggang introduced Zhao Yuanyi to him.
After several dealings with him, he still likes Zhao Yuanyi very much.
He is quick-witted, honest, trustworthy, strategic, and fierce. With a little bit of experience, he can see further.
Although his small black market had connections with the higher-ups, he was still worried about being framed by someone with ulterior motives. So when Su Jinyan went to the black market for the second time and said that she would provide him with goose eggs and duck eggs on a long-term basis, he asked someone to investigate her.
Upon checking, I found out that she was the wife of an acquaintance.
But this girl is quite fierce and doesn’t look like Zhao Yuanyi at all.
It’s a good thing I met him, otherwise I would have been kidnapped long ago.
Now that the policy has changed, the black market in Beijing is in chaos. Those people will do anything to grab sources of goods and customers.
I opened a bag, rubbed apart a few grains of rice, looked at the snow-white rice inside, and then leaned in to smell it. Unexpectedly, there was really a fragrance, which was much stronger than the fragrance of ordinary rice.
"How much rice do you have?"
"That's all for now. I don't know if I can get more in the future."
Zhou Xingdong nodded, "Six cents, do you think it's okay?"
Su Jinyan blinked his eyes. The price offered by Brother Dong was not low.
Although she knew that her rice was good and would be two or three times more expensive than ordinary rice in later times, who could blame her in this era?
She can't cheat people, right?
The day before yesterday, I went to the black market and saw that the rice those people were selling was only 80 cents without a ticket. No matter how good her rice was, it would only cost one to one dollar and ten cents at most.
Besides, she hasn't shed her shell yet.
A pound of rice, after husking, is only six ounces. If you sell it for sixty cents a pound, that's equivalent to one dollar a pound. How can people make any money then?
After thinking about it again and again, she felt that this was inappropriate, so she said, "Brother Dong, this price is a bit high, 45 cents, even so, you won't make any money."
Forty-five cents was the price after Su Jinyan calculated.
By this calculation, she sells rice for 75 cents per pound, and Zhou Xingdong resells it for one dollar to one dollar, so he still makes money.
When doing business, it’s good for everyone, and it will last a long time.
Zhou Xingdong curled his lips and smiled, "Five cents, Comrade Su Jinyan, stop arguing."
Forehead?!
Su Jinyan's whole body froze.
After a long while, she narrowed her almond eyes, tried to relax, and smiled faintly: "You investigated me? Brother Dong has been in the black market for quite a while, right? You don't even follow this little rule?"
Zhou Xingdong was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "How many people in charge of the entire black market abide by the rules? I can not ask the source of the goods, but I must ensure that you are safe."
Seeing the nervous Su Jinyan, he waved at Xia Paizi and the others. After Xia Paizi and the others left the house, he said soothingly, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Zhao Yuanyi and I know each other."
"Do you know Yuan Yi?"
This time Su Jinyan was even more surprised, but then he nodded in understanding.
Zhao Yuanyi was involved in the black market, and although he did not go in or out of the black market in the end, he probably had dealings with these people.
No wonder he introduced her to the black market at the slaughterhouse.
"Well, we've had drinks a few times, and Gangzi and I have known each other for more than ten years."
"Zhu Chenggang?"
Zhou Xingdong smiled and nodded, "Well, let me formally introduce myself. My last name is Zhou Xingdong, and I'm looking for a job in the purchasing office of the supply and marketing cooperative."
Looking for a job? Or in the purchasing department of a supply and marketing cooperative!
The corners of Su Jinyan's mouth twitched. Is this called using public power for personal gain?
Then she thought of something and smiled brightly, "Oh, it turns out to be an acquaintance! Hehe! It is said that it is easier to get things done if you have acquaintances. Brother Dong, can you get some good fabric?"
"I originally planned to ask Yuanyi to buy it from Guangzhou, but it's too far away and it would be a bit of a delay. I think I'll need it in the next few days."
Zhou Xingdong smiled and nodded, "What do you want? Just list them briefly. I'll try my best."
Looking at Su Jinyan, who was smiling happily with a bulging belly, his mood inexplicably became better. Except for being a little fierce, he still liked this kind of personality.
I don’t know what Zhao Yuanyi, the sullen man in front of them, looks like in front of this girl.
Zhao Yuanyi, who was eating breakfast on the train, couldn't help but sneeze several times. He frowned. Could it be that his wife missed him?
"Okay, by the way, you haven't told me if you want any seafood. Don't worry, they're safe, and they're all big and lively."
