Xu Qi took the money and nodded. "Then I'll leave first. I'll have the meat delivered tomorrow."
"good."
Xu Qi folded some papers and put them in his pocket, then pushed his bicycle away. This time he did not go directly to the commune, but took a detour to a remote valley.
Not only did they raise a lot of pigs here, they also built several houses. This was also the base of their black market.
They discovered this valley when they were chased by a pack of wolves in the mountains.
This valley is surrounded by mountains with very high cliffs. Except for two exits between the front and back gorges, there is no way to enter from other places.
They have occupied this place since they discovered it, and the entrance here is very remote, so no one has the leisure to come so far.

"Boss, why are you here?"
Xiao Zhu was still cleaning up the wild boar and was a little surprised to see someone coming in.
"I'm here for something, Xiao Zhu. How many sweet potatoes, potatoes, and lotus roots are there in the cellar?"
"Boss, you have to ask Uncle Sun who is in charge of the cellar. I don't know either!" Xiao Zhu was suddenly confused by this question.
"Then go call him over." Xu Qi looked at Xiao Zhu, who was having trouble thinking, and was suddenly speechless.
"Okay, okay." Xiao Zhu thought the boss's eyes were too scary, so he quickly went to pull the manager who was still in the quilt over.
"Uncle Sun, hurry up. The boss wants to know how many potatoes, sweet potatoes, and lotus roots are left in the cellar."
The man named Uncle Sun was a little confused at this time and asked curiously.
"Isn't lotus root hard to sell? They had a good harvest this year, but I didn't get much. What's the point of this?"
"I don't know either. Go talk to the boss."
Xiao Zhu watched him hesitating and was speechless. After a long period of tug-of-war, he finally came to Xu Qi.
"Boss, we have about 7,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 6,000 kilograms of potatoes, and only 600 kilograms of lotus roots."
When Xu Qi heard this quantity, he felt that it was a bit too little. After all, these raw materials were not enough to make vermicelli.
"Tell your men to buy more, including soybeans and mung beans. Uncle Sun said you should take a look at these recipes. Didn't the brothers feel bored before? In the future, we can use those empty rooms to make these foods. We can sell them on the black market and even cooperate with others."
After saying that, he handed the prescription to Uncle Sun. He trusted everyone in this valley very much and they had been with him the longest.
Otherwise, how could he let others know about his base camp? Wouldn’t he be wiped out if that happened?
When Uncle Sun heard what he said, he looked at the prescriptions in a puzzled manner, and his eyes began to shine.
Seeing how much Uncle Sun had changed, Xiao Zhu, who was standing by, curiously went over to take a look. But when he saw the familiar names on the list, he looked at Xu Qi with bright eyes and asked expectantly.
"Boss, are these the ones made by the educated youth Xiao Song? The ones we ate before?"
"Yes, these will definitely sell well once they are made, and they can also be preserved for a long time."
Xu Qi couldn't help but feel happy at this time. As a businessman, how could he not be tempted when there was a way to make money in front of him?
What's more, most of the brothers who followed him came from poor families. Although their conditions had improved, they now had no money to marry, and who would complain about having too much money?
"Xiao Qi, this recipe is a treasure. Once these are made, we will definitely make a lot of money. I will send someone to buy these things now."
"Uncle Sun, don't worry. Let the black market people buy them first. You can start making them now. It would be best if you can make a batch before the New Year. They will definitely be very popular then."
"Yes, I'll arrange it now." Since Uncle Sun got older, he came to the valley and took charge of the affairs in the valley.
They have been living together with the people here for several years, so Uncle Sun has some understanding of their situation.
He immediately began to give orders and prepare the necessary tools to start making it.
After Xu Qi finished giving all the instructions, he looked at the notebook that Uncle Sun had just forgotten to take, which recorded how much food was left in the cellar.
Xu Qi looked at the number of beans on it and felt that he could buy more. Even melon seeds, red dates, and raisins, which can be eaten with lotus root powder, could be bought more.
He wrote down the items he needed to purchase and handed them to Xiao Zhu before heading back to the black market.
