"Say it again, little brother."
Mr. Liao shouted and sat up straight.
"You heard me right. It's cotton and brown and white sugar. Do you need any, Boss Liao?"
Zhang Shuguang repeated it calmly.
"I need it, I need it so much."
Boss Liao was so excited that his voice changed.
There is a food shortage now. Farmlands across the country are used to grow grain, and the area for growing cotton, sugarcane and beets is pitifully small.
In the northern border area, which was later used as a cotton base, there is now a military corps reclaiming wasteland and growing grain for self-production and sales, but cotton planting has not yet begun.
Looking across the country, only the four provinces of Shanxi and Hebei have large-scale cotton planting, and the supply is completely insufficient to meet the demand.
Cotton, white sugar and brown sugar have always been commodities under strategic control.
"I have five hundred kilograms of cotton, two hundred kilograms each of white and brown sugar. As usual, I only want the old stuff and the gold. Can you handle it?"
Zhang Shuguang didn't know when this thing would be refreshed again, so he didn't take it out all at once.
After all, this is just a small county town. If too much white sugar and brown sugar appear on the market, it will inevitably attract official attention.
"Sure, no problem at all, bro. When will the goods be delivered?"
Liao Liancheng has been running the black market for many years and has accumulated a lot of wealth. Not to mention hundreds of kilograms of supplies each, even if the price is ten times higher, Liao Liancheng can still afford it.
"It can be delivered to the outskirts of the county tonight. I'll take you there to pick it up. Boss Liao, even brothers should settle accounts clearly. What price can you offer for these goods?"
When he came over, Zhang Shuguang had already picked a place. There was a forest outside the city. He would go in first and put out the cotton, brown sugar and white sugar.
"Of course I should."
"Little brother, these are all in high demand. I can give you three yuan per pound for cotton, and five yuan per pound for white and brown sugar.
You can ask around when you get out of here. No one in Dongfeng County can offer a higher price than me."
The wild boars and elks seen two days ago made Boss Liao mistakenly believe that there was a hunting expert behind Zhang Shuguang, so he spared no effort to help him.
He contacted Director Wang from the logistics department of the machinery factory, paid for everyone's meal out of his own pocket, and even got money for Zhang Shuguang from selling the elk.
He took so much trouble just to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Shuguang so that Zhang Shuguang would think more of him when he achieved something again.
Unexpectedly, in just two days, this little brother brought him such a big surprise.
Not only could he get meat, but he could also get controlled materials like cotton and sugar. Surprised, Boss Liao had to re-evaluate Zhang Shuguang.
So Boss Liao offered a very high price, leaving himself only a very small profit.
"Brother Liao, I trust you. Let's go. I'll take you to get the things over here."
Zhang Shuguang was very satisfied with the price offered by Boss Liao and stood up to leave.
"Hey buddy, wait a minute. I'll go get the old stuff first. You can pick it out here, and then we'll go get the stuff. It'll save you having to come back again."
Boss Liao is indeed a veteran, he knows what to do to make Zhang Shuguang feel more comfortable.
"Brother Liao, this isn't appropriate. After all, you haven't even seen the thing yet."
Zhang Shuguang hesitated for a moment.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. I trust you, brother. Just drink some more tea, I'll be right back."
Zhang Shuguang brought cotton, white sugar and brown sugar. Boss Liao was not stingy either and planned to get all the best things in the box for him to choose from, so when he went out, he specially brought a few brothers with him.
"Brother, these are all the good things I've collected over the years, feel free to take your pick."
Only Zhang Shuguang and Liao Lao Da were left in the room, and there were three boxes placed on the open space. The other brothers were guarding outside the door.
All three boxes have been opened, and the light reflects the jewels and precious stones all over the room.
"Okay, then I won't be polite. I'll put the things I picked out aside. When it reaches 3,500 yuan, you can remind me, brother."
In the system space, Zhang Shuguang has not touched the more than 800 yuan he got from selling the elk, so this time he plans to exchange it all for gold jewelry to redeem points.
"Please do as you please, brother."
[The system has detected a natural Grade A jadeite jade bracelet with icy blue flowers, valued at 120,000 gold coins. Would you like to sell it?]
The first item Zhang Shuguang chose was the jade bracelet he had seen last time.
Because he had seen quite a few of Boss Liao's collections last time, he knew that most of them were imitations.
After all, it is just a small county town. How could there be so many authentic antiques? Zhang Shuguang is very clear about this.
[The system has detected a pair of Republic of China-era imitation Yuan Dynasty blue and white vases, valued at 5,000 gold coins. Would you like to sell them?]
[The system has detected a small open-mouthed red-glazed bowl from the Republic of China imitating the Qing Dynasty, valued at 3,000 gold coins. Would you like to sell it?]
…
Sure enough, after systematic testing, the following items were naturally imitations and did not have much economic value.
"Brother, to be honest, I don't know much about antiques. I just bought some because they were beautiful and the price was right.
If you don't like any of them, then take a look at the gold and silver jewelry here. At least they are all real gold and silver. Even if they are not old items, you won't lose money. "
Seeing Zhang Shuguang picking up and putting down the antiques, Liao Liancheng said from the side, knowing that he was not satisfied with these things.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
What Boss Liao said made sense, but Zhang Shuguang still had some hope. Although gold was good, its value was average, and it would be difficult for his gold coins to exceed one million.
"Brother Liao, don't you have any other old things?"
Most of the antiques in the two boxes are imitations. Even if they are authentic, they are all made in folk kilns and are generally worth a few thousand gold coins.
"Brother, I do have a few things, but they are too valuable and not 100% authentic. I'm afraid if I lose my eyes, we'll have another unpleasant quarrel."
After hesitating for a moment, Boss Liao finally said it.
"Oh? Can you let me take a look? Don't worry, brother. Even if we two are fooled, I will take the things away and will not come to you again."
Boss Liao's words successfully aroused Zhang Shuguang's interest.
With the system in place, drilling does not exist.
"There used to be a Mr. Qian in our county. I wonder if you've heard of him, brother? When he went to Taiwan, he sold some things and I got two seals."
As he spoke, Boss Liao took out two things wrapped in red cloth from his arms.
As Boss Liao carefully opened the red cloth, the two seals revealed their true appearance.
A seal as bright as blood, with a Qilin auspicious beast carved on it.
A piece of golden color like beeswax, with a Pixiu auspicious beast carved on it.
The two seals have one thing in common: there is no name engraved on the base, and they are two raw seal stones.
