Since it was going to be the last transaction anyway, Gu An'an said, "Tonight at the maple forest in the east of the city, 500 catties of fine grains, 500 catties of meat, and 500 catties of fruit, still at the same price. Bring enough money."
After saying that, Gu An'an picked up her basket and left, giving off an air of "take it or leave it."
But how could the crew-cut guy not make money? A thousand-plus kilograms of goods would be a piece of cake for his boss, and he'd get a huge share of the profits.
He had to rush back to report this good news, since he didn't have that much money in his pocket.
After leaving the black market, Gu An'an found a place to drop her disguise. Although she made some money selling goods and doing odd jobs, it couldn't compare to the money she earned from robbing people in the middle of the night.
They swindled a total of eight thousand yuan, ten small yellow croakers, and various colorful tickets from Zhang Changsheng and Wang Meihua's secret stash.
With those two people's salaries, and having to support those heartless bastards, there's no way they could have saved up this much. It's obvious that all of this money belongs to Gu Jia.
Zhang Changsheng, that bastard, is a spendthrift.
Fortunately, she arrived.
Having money in hand brings peace of mind. Although she had a lot of supplies in her spatial storage, not everything could be used. So Gu An'an went to the supply and marketing cooperative and took whatever she needed, thus spending all her local coupons.
Everything you need, from food and drinks to daily necessities, is readily available.
There are indeed many people coming and going at the supply and marketing cooperative, but it is not common to see someone as generous as Gu An'an, so some busybodies asked about it.
Gu An'an smiled shyly, "My brother and sister and I are all going to the countryside, but they couldn't come because of other things, so they sent me as their representative to come and get things."
Upon hearing that Gu An'an had bought enough for three people, everyone felt more at ease and even began to sympathize with the three siblings' plight.
Although it was an honor for educated youth to go to the countryside, it is now 74 years later. Every family has relatives who went to the countryside, and they all know how hard life was there. Some even did foolish things in order to return to the city.
Gu An'an is pretty, but her thin and weak appearance makes her look easy to bully. It would definitely be dangerous for her to go to the countryside.
"We happen to have some slightly flawed fabric here. No coupon required, want it?"
Although Gu An'an had no shortage of fabric, she still nodded. No matter what kind of fabric it was, it was scarce in this era. She might be able to use it sometime, and if all else failed, she could sell it on the black market.
With her thick skin and silver tongue, Gu An'an successfully bought a few feet of "defective" fabric. It was called "defective" fabric, but it was just that the print had some problems and it didn't affect its use at all.
Carrying her bags and packages, Gu An'an found a secluded spot, tossed the items into her spatial storage, and then went to the state-run restaurant.
"Sister Lan, what else is there today?"
The clerk at the counter, who was dozing off, looked up when she heard the sweet voice. Seeing that it was the same sweet-talking girl from yesterday, she immediately smiled broadly. "Braised pork, braised fish, dumplings, noodles, stir-fries—we have them all. What would you like to eat today, miss?"
After finishing the braised pork and stir-fried vegetables, Gu An'an packed up several portions of braised pork, braised fish, and uncooked dumplings.
Sister Lan knew she was about to go to the countryside, so she didn't ask any questions and filled her lunchbox to the brim without saying a word.
"Be careful when you go to the countryside. Don't believe those men's sweet talk. Actions speak louder than words, understand?"
Gu An'an nodded obediently, and before leaving, she took out a handful of candy from her pocket and put it on the table. "Thank you, Sister Lan. These are for my nephew and niece to sweeten their mouths."
After putting down her things, Gu An'an left. Sister Lan watched her departing figure and sighed, "This world, sigh!"
After buying the goods, Gu An'an didn't go home. Instead, she took the wine she had just bought from the supply and marketing cooperative to the factory director's house...
