Looking at the two people who were blocking her way, Yun Yan asked defensively, "Who is your boss? What does he want from me?"
The two of them saw her expression and knew that she might have misunderstood them: "Don't worry, sister, our boss is the owner of this black market, and he wants to discuss business with you."
Yun Yan was puzzled when she heard him say that the black market boss wanted to discuss business with her. She was not like the heroines in other period novels who brought thousands or tens of thousands of kilograms of grain to the black market to show off, so how could she attract the attention of the black market boss?
Could it be that even I, who sells loaches and eels, have been targeted by him? This black market boss must be too idle or too poor to be interested in the little money I can make.
I followed the two men to the outside of a house. One of them reached out and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened. The person who opened the door saw that they were his own people and let them in.
After entering, Yun Yan found out that this was actually a courtyard. After walking for a while, she followed them into one of the rooms.
"Boss, we've brought the people here."
Yunyan saw a man lying on a throne, he had a beard and looked to be in his forties.
"You are the boss of this black market. What business do you want to discuss with me?" Yun Yan spoke first.
"Little girl, you should take off your disguise first." The man with a mustache said lazily.
Hearing his words, Yun Yan stopped pretending: "Didn't your men say you wanted to discuss business with me? Tell me straight out, what do you want to do?"
"You're a straightforward person indeed. I've been watching you for a long time. I called you here today just to talk to you about the spicy loach and spicy eel you're carrying."
I really would thank him! What kind of black market boss is this? How can he have the nerve to be a black market boss when he is so poor?
"Are you kidding me? You run such a huge black market, and you're still interested in the little money I make?"
"A few dollars also costs money. Come, let's sit down and talk." The black market boss asked someone to pour Yun Yan a cup of tea.
"Thank you, I don't want any." Only a fool would drink tea in a place like this.
Seeing Yun Yan's defensive look, the black market boss didn't force her: "Forget it if you don't want to drink. Let's talk about cooperation."
"How do you want to cooperate?"
"I know your loach and eel slices are sold for one yuan a bag. How about this: you sell all your stuff to me and I'll give you 70 cents a bag?"
After hearing his words, Yun Yan snorted: "Not very good, you took the bulk of the money, what am I going to earn?"
He is so bold to say that it’s 70 cents per pack. Damn it, I work like a dog and still can’t earn 70 cents per pack. And this is because the oil I use now is the one I prepared in the 21st century.
If you add the cost of buying oil, the maximum profit for a pack is fifty cents. He wants to take half of the profit without doing anything. Is there such a cheap thing in the world?
The black market boss didn't expect Yun Yan to reject him so immediately: "Don't be so hasty to refuse, we can still talk about it."
I'm talking to a profiteer like you. You're even more evil-hearted than the capitalists.
"If you really want to cooperate, I'll give you a price: 95 cents a pack."
After hearing Yun Yan's words, the man with a mustache thought: This little girl is darker than me.
Finally, the two agreed on a price, and Little Mustache bought Yunyan's spicy loach and eel slices at 85 cents per bag.
Before leaving, Yun Yan thought of something: "I wonder if Boss Li has those old items here?"
Through the conversation, Yunyan learned the man with the mustache's name: Li Chunsheng.
Li Chunsheng hadn't expected Yun Yan to be interested in those things that destroyed the Four Olds. "Yes, I do have some, but I don't know what you want to exchange for them, sister?"
Yun Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'll bring out two thousand kilograms of rice and five hundred kilograms of flour. I wonder how much Boss Li can give me in exchange?"
Li Chunsheng found it a little unbelievable when he heard that Yun Yan was willing to exchange two thousand kilograms of rice and five hundred kilograms of flour for the garbage that no one wanted if it was thrown on the street.
Those things used to be very valuable, but now they are just piles of garbage, and you can exchange them for a sweet potato.
"Sister, how could you like those things? They are being strictly checked now."
"I just like collecting old things. You don't have to worry about whether they'll be found."
Is there any place in this world safer than your own space?
"Well, since you've said that, it's a good idea to take advantage of a deal that's right here. I'll trade your two thousand kilograms of grain and five hundred kilograms of flour for ten boxes of old stuff. How about that?"
Yun Yan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but Boss Li, the rice and flour I gave you are all top-notch stuff. Don't try to fool me with a bunch of junk."
"Don't worry, sister. I'm in the underworld, and I'm honest."
After the two agreed on the delivery location, Yun Yan left the yard under the guidance of the two people.
After leaving the black market, Yun Yan went to the meat stall and bought two pounds of pork belly. Qian Qian, the foodie, had asked her to buy this for her. Seeing that there were some pork ribs, Yun Yan asked the stall owner to pack them all up.
Yunyan looked at the time and saw that there was still an hour before the agreed time, so she rode her bike to the agreed place.
This was an abandoned warehouse that Yun Yan discovered by accident. After looking around to make sure there was no one around, she entered the space.
The rice and flour were packed in whole bags, so there was no need to weigh them. Twenty bags of rice and five bags of flour were taken out from the space, as well as the spicy loach and spicy eel slices that were placed in the space.
After a while, the person who took over the goods came. Yun Yan didn't expect that Li Chunsheng would come in person.
The person in charge of such a small business actually showed up in person. It seems that he is not doing very well.
"Why did Boss Li come here in person? Is he afraid that I'll cheat?"
"What are you talking about, sister? I just thought that this is our first transaction, so it would be safer for me to come here in person." Li Chunsheng said with a laugh.
"Everything is here. Boss Li, please come and take a look yourself."
Li Chunsheng walked over after hearing this and opened a bag of rice and a bag of flour. The rice was bright in color and had full grains, and the quality of the flour was better than that of Fuqiang flour.
Li Chunsheng was delighted. He could make more money by selling such good quality stuff. He made a fortune by exchanging ten boxes of junk for them.
"Sister is really a straightforward person, and brother is also open-minded. Come and see for yourself, they are all good stuff." After saying that, he waved his hand, and immediately several people took the money and carried the boxes away.
Li Chunsheng opened the box and motioned Yunyan to come forward to check. Yunyan walked forward and saw not only jade and jewelry, but also ceramics and calligraphy and paintings, filling up exactly ten boxes.
Yun Yan was so excited when she saw all this stuff that she almost flew off the ground. She suppressed her trembling heart and pretended to be calm as she said, "Boss Li is really straightforward. The rice and flour are yours, and these ten boxes of jewelry are mine."
"Okay, sister, you are so generous. I, Li Chunsheng, will definitely be your friend."
Finally, he counted the loach and eel slices and found that there were ninety-one packages in total. Yun Yan charged him seventy-six yuan and fifty cents for ninety packages.
After giving the money, Li Chunsheng left the abandoned warehouse with a smile on his face.
Seeing that everyone had left, Yun Yan immediately put the ten boxes into the space, and rode her bicycle back to the Red Flag Brigade with satisfaction.
