Chapter 29: Guaguaguaguaguagua Nie Baichuan, what a good man!
The heat finally faded, and Xiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around, put her eyes close to the crack of the door and looked out, and asked softly, "Are they gone? Are those people gone?"
Nie Baichuan lowered his eyes, glanced calmly at the back of her head, and nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go."
Xiang Yao patted her chest, completely unaware that someone behind her was watching her. She felt her heartbeat gradually slow down, and finally felt relieved: "It's good that he's gone. I feel relieved now."
She raised her eyes, secretly glanced at Nie Baichuan, and curled her lips into a grateful smile: "Thank you, Brother Chuan."
If it weren't for Nie Baichuan just now, she would have really been desperate and would have been arrested, criticized and fined.
Nie Baichuan said calmly, "It's okay."
He paused and asked, "Are you here alone?"
"Yeah," Xiang Yao turned her head, a look of relief, her eyes filled with gratitude. "Luckily you're here. I'm not familiar with this area at all. I didn't expect to end up in such a dead end."
Tianshui Alley was interconnected, and she was anxious to get rid of the red armbands. She was in a panic and only wanted to find an exit as soon as possible. As long as she was out of the alley, she could escape.
result……
Xiang Yao sighed secretly, thinking that his problem of being directionally challenged didn't seem to get any better even after traveling through a book.
Nie Baichuan walked forward and reopened the window to let the light in, and Xiang Yao could see the layout of the small house clearly.
In the small space, there was a table and two benches. Apart from that, there was nothing else. Going further in, there should be a room. The door was ajar. I wondered if the interior was as simple as the main room.
She was so tired from running that when she saw a stool, she walked straight to it and sat down without any hesitation, saying with a smile, "Is this your house? I'll sit down and rest for a while!"
Nie Baichuan hummed again, "The tea on the table is freshly brewed, and the cups are clean."
It means that if she is thirsty, she can pour herself some water.
Xiang Yao wasn't actually that thirsty. She had just grabbed a tomato and ate it, but since Nie Baichuan had said so, she simply turned over two cups and filled them with tea: "You drink too."
She was completely unaware that her smooth and flowing movements made her seem to be stealing the show, as if she was the owner of this little room.
However, Nie Baichuan didn't care about this. He leaned against the window and didn't go over.
Xiang Yao raised her eyes slightly and saw that half of his body was bathed in light, while the other half was hidden in darkness. The disorder of light did not hide the breadth of his shoulders, but made his chest appear even more solid.
Only then did she slowly realize that this was a strong man, and she was in the same room with this man. She really didn't treat him as a villain.
However, Xiang Yao felt that Nie Baichuan, the ultimate villain, probably had very good thoughts and morals, otherwise he would not have helped the team members and her again and again.
Thinking of this, she calmed down and took two sips of water.
Xiang Yao asked curiously, "Why are you here? Is this your house?"
Nie Baichuan: "Come up with something. It's from a friend."
"What?" Xiang Yao just said it, but then felt that it was not appropriate and quickly said, "I'm just asking casually, I don't mean anything else."
Nie Baichuan said calmly, "I'll provide whatever others need."
uh-huh?
This sounds familiar.
Xiang Yao recalled that when she was chatting with the middle-aged man in the alley before, the man seemed to have mentioned the same thing.
"Then your business must be quite big," she said.
"Just making a living." Nie Baichuan said casually.
Xiang Yao curled her lips, not quite believing it. She had made a lot of money in just a short while. Nie Baichuan must have come here often, so it was impossible for him to make less money.
Besides, if the black market doesn’t make money, why would so many people come to trade? People will take risks only if there is profit.
Thinking of a previous scene, Xiang Yao suddenly realized: "So when you gave money to Brother Hai and the others last time, was it because they supplied you with goods?"
Nie Baichuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xiang Yao, who was sipping slowly from his glass of water: "Yeah."
clever.
Xiang Yao's eyes lit up, and he put the cup on the table. "Do you have a regular customer base? What do you sell? Can I supply you with goods?"
A series of questions rolled down her moist lips like a machine gun, causing Nie Baichuan to lower his eyes and look away imperceptibly.
After a while, just when Xiang Yao thought that the other party was using silence as a means of rejection, Nie Baichuan spoke.
"What goods can you provide?"
Nie Baichuan thought about the things in the brigade, but he really couldn't think of what Xiang Yao could provide.
The Xiang family is not wealthy, and her family members don't seem to treat her well. As a girl, she can't go up the mountain to get wild goods like Yuan Hai and the others. What can she provide?
Xiang Yaoxian asked, "What can Brother Hai and the others provide?"
Seeing that she looked like she was going to talk business with her eyes shining, Nie Baichuan couldn't help but feel moved.
He answered seriously, "I want all kinds of mountain products, mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, and so on."
Mountain products are the favorite of city dwellers, especially dried mushrooms, which are easy to harvest and store, and can be used as a delicious dish to entertain guests.
Of course, more importantly, there is some meat.
Although the villagers don't get much meat throughout the year, Feng County is mountainous, so they have plenty of ways to get some meat to satisfy their hunger.
Although city dwellers could buy meat, it was rationed and they had to buy it on the black market if they wanted extra.
Nie Baichuan was interested in this business.
Xiang Yao counted the fruits in his melon field with his fingers and said, "I don't have any mountain products, but I have a lot of fruits. I got some peanuts and tomatoes today, and I have other things, such as watermelons, cantaloupes, grapes... I can get anything."
Glancing at the other person furtively, Xiang Yao added, "My mother's relatives have some that they planted, and they're growing exceptionally well! I'm selling them for them, earning a little hard-earned money."
Although the other party may not believe it, there must be a reason. Otherwise, it would be too strange that he always conjures up some seasonal or unseasonal fruits out of thin air.
Watermelons and cantaloupes are all distributed in faraway places, and the melon fields are vast. In order to save time, she rarely "travels long distances" to transport them.
The distance is one reason, but the key point is that even if she can sprint quickly and challenge herself in speed, she has no way to make more challenges in terms of strength.
It was already difficult for her to carry one watermelon at a time, and she could carry a few more melons, but not much more.
But unfortunately, she had to place these things near the entrance and exit before she could move them out using her mind!
However, if she could find a fixed sales channel, she would still be willing to put in more effort.
In fact, in addition to these fruits, there are also potatoes, yams, etc., but she only dug out one last time and has not touched the others.
It's not that she doesn't want to move, it's really...
This thing is not like peanuts, which can be pulled out by pulling the seedlings. It needs to be dug out with a hoe!
She tried several times but couldn't bring in things like a hoe. She didn't know if she didn't find the right method or if she simply couldn't put any foreign objects in.
It is painful to just watch without being able to dig and transport on a large scale!
In fact, she shouldn't reveal so many things, but after meeting Nie Baichuan a few times, she felt that this person was reliable.
Even though he was a villain, she now felt that it was only relative to the male and female protagonists in the original book.
Besides, after today's chase and escape, she was actually a little frightened.
She was too optimistic to take the red armband seriously. But chasing and escaping like this would always make her worried. Now that there was another way to get rid of the fruits in the melon field, why not do it?
Thinking of this, Xiang Yao looked at Nie Baichuan with eyes that were even brighter and full of expectation.
Sure enough, Nie Baichuan was silent for a moment, but did not ask her how her relatives grew these fruits and vegetables that were rare in Fengxian County.
He calculated the sales in his mind and asked, "How much can you provide?"
When Xiang Yao heard that there was a chance, he quickly said, "That's not necessarily the case. If the delivery time is longer, I can provide more."
It's not that she doesn't want to give a definite answer, it's just that there is not much access time to the melon field now, and she has to rely on diligently listening to gossip to continue to gain access time!
There isn't a lot of gossip every day, especially the explosive kind, which is hard to come by.
Nie Baichuan nodded: "Let me think about it."
Seeing Xiang Yao's bright eyes dimmed slightly after hearing this, Nie Baichuan added in a deep voice, "I'll order 20 kilograms of peanuts and 20 watermelons first. Let me know when you have everything ready."
Xiang Yao made a crazy "V" sign in her heart, blinked her eyes, and nodded heavily: "Okay!"
Nie Baichuan, what a good man!
Nie Baichuan added, "Other fruits and vegetables are also fine as long as they are fresh."
There are many customers in the county town who can afford it, and as long as he has goods, he can sell them no matter how much he has.
Xiang Yao's heart blossomed, and the smile on his face went from eight points of sincerity to ten points. He asked hesitantly, "Then how to sell it..."
Nie Baichuan thought for a moment and said, "Depending on the quality of the things you brought, the price should be based on the supply and marketing cooperative's price. What do you think?"
Xiang Yao thought for a moment. She had walked so far to the county town and bargained seriously with every customer, only then could she sell the fruits and vegetables at a price slightly higher than that of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Now that the goods are delivered to Nie Baichuan for sale, it means that she is the source and the other party purchases the goods from her, so it doesn't seem excessive to give her a wholesale price.
Anyway, there are plenty of fruits in her melon field, so she can make a small profit but quick turnover, which saves trouble as well. How great!
Xiang Yao looked at Nie Baichuan, already considering him her distributor. "I think it's a good idea! Is it a deal then?"
Nie Baichuan nodded: "Yes."
Xiang Yao thought for a moment, stood up, poured out some peanuts and a few tomatoes from the basket, gathered them together, and placed them neatly into two piles.
"You can check my stuff first. Look, these peanuts and tomatoes are very well-proportioned and of very good quality!"
Nie Baichuan took a look and said, "Very good. I hope you will provide similar quality in the future."
Xiang Yao raised her chin proudly: "Of course."
Judging from the appearance of her fruits and vegetables, they were already high-end products with exquisite packaging, like those sold in fruit stores in later generations.
Hey! Very confident!
It seems like I can already see that fruits and vegetables will sell well tomorrow!
Perhaps the atmosphere of this successful cooperation was too overwhelming, so Xiang Yao looked at Nie Baichuan's handsome face and couldn't help but lose her composure.
"Brother Chuan, the aunties in the team all say that you, uh, smile at everyone you meet. Why have I never seen you smile?"
