Chapter 38 Buying Food on the Black Market
Su Mingyue nodded and said nothing.
After a while, the young man came over and said to Su Mingyue respectfully: "Big sister, let's go! Our boss is waiting for you in the house!"
Su Mingyue followed him in and saw a tall man with a burly figure sitting on the main seat. When he saw Su Mingyue coming in, he smiled and said to Su Mingyue: "Is this lady the distinguished guest that Heizi mentioned? Please take a seat! Have some tea!"
Su Mingyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a calm smile, and said, "Forget about drinking tea, I'm in a hurry to catch the car later!
I think this little brother should have made it clear to you guys just now! I need to buy some food urgently, give me a hundred yuan worth first. If it sells well, I will come back to buy from you in a few days!"
After hearing what Su Mingyue said, the man who was called the boss' eyes sparkled, and then he responded with a smile on his face: "No problem, what kind of food does Big Sister want?"
In fact, at this moment he was thinking secretly in his heart, and he had never expected that the elder sister in front of him would be so alert.
Because something was mixed into the cup of tea, the purpose was self-evident - to get more money from Su Mingyue. After all, she wanted to buy goods worth a hundred yuan, so the money she carried must be much more than that.
At first, when his subordinate Heizi came in to report that this woman was unusual, he didn't take it seriously. He thought she was just an ordinary woman. Even if she might be a little stronger, so what? They had a lot of people here. Were they afraid that they couldn't subdue a weak woman?
However, at this moment, when he looked carefully at Su Mingyue in front of him again, he was suddenly surprised that since some time ago, this woman had exuded a strong aura from head to toe. That kind of majesty and self-confidence usually only appeared in those in high positions.
Only then did he deeply realize that what Heizi said was true. This woman was definitely not an idle person. For such a person, it is best to adopt a friendly strategy and never offend her easily.
So he naturally changed his attitude, smiled at Su Mingyue in a slightly more friendly manner and asked her what kind of food she wanted!
Seeing that the boss's eyes had become obedient, Su Mingyue also subsided a little and said to him, "What is the price of your grain? I only want rice, millet, high grain, white flour, cornmeal and cornmeal!"
"Okay, big sister, this rice is 50 cents with a ticket, 80 cents without a ticket, millet is 70 cents with a ticket, 1 yuan without a ticket, high-grain grain is 30 cents with a ticket, 40 cents without a ticket, white flour is 40 cents with a ticket, 70 cents without a ticket, cornmeal is 20 cents with a ticket, 30 cents without a ticket, cornmeal is 0.10 cents without a ticket. Big sister, how much of each do you want?"
Su Mingyue calculated the price in her mind and said to the boss, "I don't have any tickets. I need 50 catties of rice, 20 catties of millet, 20 catties of high-grain grain, 30 catties of white flour, 20 catties of cornmeal, and 20 catties of cornmeal. Take these first and I'll come back in a few days."
The black market boss asked his men to bring the food to Su Mingyue as she said. After giving the instructions, he calculated the price for Su Mingyue: "50 catties of rice, 0.80 yuan per catty, a total of 40 yuan;
20 jin of millet costs 1 yuan per jin, a total of 20 yuan;
High-quality grain: 20 jin, 0.40 yuan per jin, a total of 8 yuan;
30 jin of white flour, 0.7 yuan per jin, a total of 21 yuan;
30 jin of cornmeal, 0.03 yuan per jin, a total of 9 yuan;
40 jin of cornmeal, 0.15 cents per jin, a total of 6 yuan.
The total is 104 yuan. Since you bought a lot, I will give you another 5 jin of cornmeal. "
Upon hearing this, Su Mingyue thanked the black market boss and took money out of her cloth bag, counted out 104 yuan and gave it to the boss. She still had 5 yuan left at this time, because with one yuan, she took a bus, which cost 50 cents to come to the county town, and another 50 cents for the bus fare back to the town.
When the food was taken out, Su Mingyue walked over and carefully examined it. She would sometimes grab a handful of food and rub it in her hands to examine it, and sometimes get close to smell it, with a focused and serious look on her face.
After a moment, Su Mingyue stood up, nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the black market boss, smiled and said: "Well, very good, these foods are very good. Well, I will go ahead, and we will see each other in a few days."
Before she finished speaking, she deftly gathered the bags of food together and put them into a larger bag. Then, she effortlessly carried the heavy bag on her shoulders, turned around and walked away.
In fact, in order to buy food this time, Su Mingyue specially prepared a wheelbarrow, thinking that if the food was too much and too heavy, she could use it to transport it.
However, she did not expect that the 100 yuan could only buy such a small amount of food, a total of only 190 kilograms. For her, this amount was no problem at all, and she could easily carry it, so the carefully prepared wheelbarrow was useless.
At this moment, the black market boss was about to ask Su Mingyue if he needed help to transport the food outside with a cart, but before he could say anything, he saw Su Mingyue quickly carrying all the food and walking forward with steady steps.
He couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, secretly exclaiming in his heart: Oh my God! This is nearly 200 kilograms! This woman is too strong!
So, the black market boss silently closed his mouth that was about to open, and just stood there quietly, watching Su Mingyue gradually walk away until she finally disappeared from his sight.
When Su Mingyue's figure was completely out of sight, the younger brother who had been waiting nearby stepped forward and asked cautiously in a low voice, "Boss, do you think you should send our men to follow quietly?"
The black market boss shook his head slightly, his eyes slowly swept over the eager younger brothers below, then raised his hand and waved it lightly, and calmly said: "No, don't act rashly! This woman may seem ordinary, but in fact she is definitely not that simple.
Didn't you notice the powerful aura that she exuded just now? Although that aura only lasted for a short while, she quickly restrained it. This is exactly what makes the problem more clear! How can someone who can control her aura so easily be a leisurely person? So don't provoke her easily, so as not to get yourself into big trouble. "
After hearing what their boss said, the subordinates who were originally full of greed and eager to take action looked at each other, and then reluctantly let go of the restlessness and desire in their hearts.
