Chapter 72 Finding a Bargain



To Su Ruyi's great surprise, what she took out were all very small items—a Shanghai brand watch, a Red Star brand radio, and an extremely rare Seagull 203 camera!

Su Ruyi's mouth dropped open; she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

The plump woman's eyes held a mixture of smugness and nervousness.

"Hey girl, I can tell you're someone who's not short of money."

To tell you the truth, I did all this behind my husband's and son's back!

But these two are suddenly going home next week, and I have nowhere to hide these things, so I'm giving them to you at cost price!

"Why don't you talk to your family about buying it and reselling it? You could earn at least a few years' worth of salary!"

The red mole on Su Ruyi's palm became hot again.

She asked calmly, "If I take all of these, how much will it cost in total?"

"I knew I hadn't misjudged him!" The plump woman beamed with joy, counting on her fingers for a long time:

"Shanghai watches, a total of 9 pieces, at 80 yuan each, that's 720!"

I'll give you the same price for both the Red Star and Panda brands of radios: 150 yuan each! Two of each, that's 600 yuan in total.

There are only two cameras, I'll give them to you for 150 each! Each one also comes with ten rolls of film! That's 300 in total.

All of these add up to... 1620 yuan!

I'll round it down to 1600!

How about it?"

Su Ruyi calculated that, based on market prices, these items should sell for at least 4,000 yuan.

Her heart was pounding, but she pretended to be astonished: "Sister, this is way too expensive! This isn't the wholesale price!"

The plump woman got a little anxious: "You make at least 30% profit by reselling it!"

Su Ruyi shook her head: "1200".

The plump woman slapped her thigh: "Fifteen thousand!"

Su Ruyi: "1200!"

The plump woman exclaimed, "Are you trying to rip my flesh out with a knife?! 1300! One price, no lower!"

Su Ruyi: "Deal!"

After saying that, she took out a deposit slip for 1,000 yuan and 30 ten-yuan bills.

The plump woman held the deposit slip, frowning as she examined it over and over.

Su Ruyi smiled: "How about I go with you to the bank and withdraw the money directly?"

"That's wonderful!"

The plump woman helped her carry her things downstairs, and the two of them successfully withdrew the money from the bank.

Turning a corner, Su Ruyi swiftly stored everything into her spatial storage.

At this moment, Su Ruyi had four 1,000 yuan deposit slips and 1,849.3 yuan in cash. She could have used the cash to buy it directly, but she felt it was better to keep some money on hand.

With that in mind, she went back to the bank and exchanged three of the remaining four 1,000-yuan deposit certificates for cash.

Of this money, 3,000 yuan was earned by Su Tong during her exams, but Su Tong had already told her to keep it safe.

So, she hoped to at least double the money when she returned it to Su Tong.

Although the bank staff stared at her face in surprise, she wasn't worried at all about being recognized.

Anyway, she was wearing makeup, so nobody recognized her.

At this moment, the red mole on my palm finally stopped burning.

After finishing all this, she returned and quickly entered the space.

As usual, the old man who performed acupuncture gave her a small wooden box today. When she opened it, there was only one wax pill inside.

After the small wooden box disappeared, the wax pellet landed in her palm.

Through the wax seal, she could smell some Chinese medicine, but she couldn't be sure.

However, this must be a good thing.

Because the Chinese herbs she was unsure about were all very expensive.

She decided to put the wax pellet in the food box that night to see if she could replicate it.

Thinking this, she realized that she was extremely hungry and that she had only eaten three pastries that day!

He rushed into the hall and opened the food box.

They devoured everything in the food box, leaving it completely empty.

Then, she rushed to the backyard to check on her black soil.

A day is too short; she feels it's simply not enough.

But she dared not take the strange pills from the acupuncturist anymore.

The feeling of being completely drained is not pleasant.

"They've already sprouted? So fast?"

Su Ruyi squinted, shading her eyes with her hand, and looked at the black soil covered with a thin layer of green, and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Upon closer inspection, they were all tender buds.

Most of them are in the stage where the cotyledons have just unfolded, and the true leaves are still sprouting.

Su Ruyi roughly estimated that the growth rate of crops on black soil is at least ten times that of crops on ordinary soil.

Thinking of this, she quickly took out an apple and an orange, ate them in a flash, and then scattered the seeds as much as possible, throwing them all into the ground.

While Su Ruyi was busy with her work, Su Dazhi took leave and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

In Chen Weixing's office, he was so embarrassed that he didn't even have a place to put his feet.

Chen Weixing leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table, looking at him without saying a word.

Su Dazhi bowed deeply, his smile utterly obsequious: "Director Chen, I..."

Chen Weixing seemed to only then notice him, and said calmly, "It's Comrade Su! What's up?"

Hearing this distant form of address, Su Dazhi was startled.

He quickly put on an even more obsequious smile: "Director Chen, I've come to ask... when will you be marrying our sixth son?"

Before coming to the supply and marketing cooperative, he had already gone to the food factory to look for Su Tong.

He breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Su Ruyi had moved to the female workers' dormitory at the food factory.
