The family is quite well off.
When I arrived at the family compound, I met an acquaintance. Aunt Huang said that Li Wenjing was her distant sister and she came to visit as a relative.
In the end, after all the hard work, I only sold this basket of things for forty-seven yuan and ten cents.
"Auntie, if you have anything in the future, just bring it to me. I want as much as you can get!"
Before leaving, Aunt Huang gave Li Wenjing some instructions.
There's nothing I can do about it, this stuff is just too good!
Li Wenjing nodded in agreement.
She only breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the textile factory's staff quarters.
This Aunt Huang is so enthusiastic.
But selling things this way is really too slow. I don’t know if I can do business directly with the black market boss.
Thinking this, Li Wenjing walked towards the entrance of the black market again, and of course did not forget to put some rice and flour in the backpack.
She thought of trying her luck and walked straight up to the young man guarding the door.
"Brother, I want to do a business with your boss."
The young man guarding the door still had an impression of Li Wenjing. This woman had been there once before.
He asked suspiciously, "What kind of business do you want to do with our boss?"
Li Wenjing directly showed the things in the backpack to the young man.
The young man's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the rice and flour inside. These were fine grains, and of particularly good quality.
So far, I have never seen rice and noodles of such quality on the market.
"Skinny Monkey, just watch, I'll take her to see the boss!"
"Um!"
Li Wenjing followed the young man all the way to a two-story courtyard at the end of the alley.
During this time, Li Wenjing got to know the young man A Mao, the boss of the black market. No one knew his name because he had a long scar on his face, so everyone called him Scar Brother.
“Bang, bang!”
The door opened from the inside, and another young man in his twenties came out.
"Amao, what brings you here?"
"Ergou, someone wants to do business with the boss, so I brought him here."
The man named Ergou glanced at A Mao and said, "Come in!"
A Mao took Li Wenjing to the main hall.
Li Wenjing met the black market boss Scarface. As his name suggests, the scar on his face that runs through half of his face is very distinctive and looks particularly scary.
While Li Wenjing was looking at Scarface, Scarface was also looking at Li Wenjing.
Neither of them spoke first, as if whoever spoke first would be at a disadvantage.
A Mao and Er Gou stood on Scarface's left and right, like bodyguards.
After about ten minutes, Scarface spoke first.
He really didn't expect that there was a woman who was more patient than him.
"A-Mao said you have high-quality rice and flour?"
"Whether it's high quality or not, you'll know once you see it!"
Li Wenjing handed over the backpack as he spoke, and Scarface finally got up from the stool under his butt and took the backpack.
Looking down, even though his heart was already surging, his face remained very calm.
"How much rice and flour of this quality do you have? How much are you planning to sell it for?"
Li Wenjing actually had no idea, so she quoted the price she would sell it to Aunt Huang.
"I have plenty of this kind of rice and flour. Don't you want a ticket for 50 cents a pound?"
Scarface knew that the price was not high, but he still wanted to lower it.
"Four cents, I'll take as many as you can get!"
Li Wenjing knew at a glance that Scarface wanted to lower the price, and she didn't want to indulge him.
"Fifty cents, not a cent less!"
After saying this, she picked up the backpack on the ground and tried it out, then turned around and left.
Seeing this, Ergou and Amao stepped forward to block their way.
Li Wenjing frowned unhappily and said coldly, "Are you trying to rob your fellow thieves?"
Seeing this, Scarface waved to Ergou and Amao.
"Sister, you misunderstood. I sincerely want these things from you. Since you said fifty cents, then fifty cents. But I want two thousand kilograms of flour and rice each!"
"Okay, I also have white sugar, brown sugar, and cooking oil. Do you want any?"
Scarface...
"want!"
Don't be a fool, these goods are in short supply in the market.
"Okay, then I'll give you 500 kilograms of white sugar, brown sugar, and cooking oil. White sugar is 70 cents per kilogram, brown sugar is one dollar, and cooking oil is one dollar and a half per kilogram!"
"This is only our first collaboration. If the cooperation goes well, we can have a long-term partnership in the future!"
Li Wenjing's meaning was very clear. She still had a lot of goods. If she didn't play tricks and traded honestly, she would get better stuff in the future. If she dared to play tricks, it would be a one-time deal and there would definitely be no second chance!
Scarface, A Mao and Ergou all understood that this was a golden thigh. If they held on to it tightly, would they no longer have to worry about lack of supplies in the future?
At the same time, I made some decisions in my mind. This woman cannot be offended, at least not before I find out the source of the supplies.
"Okay, where do we trade?"
Scarface wanted to choose the transaction location himself, but he also knew that with the defensiveness of the person in front of him, Smart would definitely not agree.
Li Wenjing...
She didn't know where to go to trade, after all, she was really not familiar with this place.
Suddenly I thought of the forest I encountered before entering the city, and decided to choose that as the trading location.
"In an hour, our people will deliver the goods to the woods outside the city. We'll exchange the money for the goods. I also want two hundred yuan in national bills!"
Scarface was calculating in his mind how much these things would cost and whether he had that much money.
"Can!"
After the time and place of the transaction were set, Li Wenjing put on his backpack and left under the guidance of A Mao.
"Boss, should we..."
Ergou made a gesture of wiping his neck towards Scarface.
Scarface slapped him on the head.
"Get lost! Stop thinking about these weird things from now on! Go prepare the bills, gather a few reliable brothers, and go move the things later."
Ergou touched the head that was hit by Scarface, and went out to do the task that Scarface gave him.
After Li Wenjing left the black market, she still had an hour, so she wanted to go to the scrap yard to find some junior high and high school textbooks. Who told her not to bring them with her when she left?
I used a White Rabbit candy to ask for the location of the scrap yard.
An old man in his sixties or seventies was sitting at the door of the scrap yard, lying in a rocking chair and about to fall asleep.
Li Wenjing just walked up to her and asked, "Girl, what are you doing here?"
Li Wenjing...
This person was not asleep, so how could he know someone was coming and know that she was a woman with his eyes closed?
She didn't say anything just now, but since the old man asked, she told the truth.
"Uncle, I'm looking for a junior high and high school textbook!"
The old man still didn't open his eyes: "Go in, don't take anything you shouldn't take!"
Li Wenjing actually wanted to ask if there was anything in here that she shouldn't take, but she finally held back.
