Jiang Baige looked at what was written on the notebook. It was still a little too little, but there was nothing she could do. This was her first time working with him, so this would be enough. She would give more next time when they got more familiar with each other.
He handed the notebook to Mr. Kratos and asked him to read it.
"Master Kui, take a look. I have everything listed here. Just write down how much you want. The price will be based on your current price."
Mr. Kui took a look at the young comrade in front of him, then reached out to take the notebook and read it line by line.
Some asked in disbelief: "You have all these?"
Jiang Baige nodded, "Yes! Take a look and see how much it will take."
"But give me your money first."
Then he asked, "Do you have a separate house? If so, I can deliver the goods there. If not, forget it."
"Also, when my people are delivering goods, your people are not allowed to be here. This is our rule."
Her tone was a bit loud and her demands were unreasonable.
Mr. Kui asked: "How can I trust you? If you run away, I can't afford to pay you back."
His words stumped Jiang Baige. It seemed that Mr. Kui was not as easy to fool as Mr. Yang Wu.
Suddenly she thought of something and said, "Master Yang Wu from the county town, Master Kui should know him!"
There was no other way. She had no bargaining chips to gain others' trust, so she could only bring up Master Yang Wu.
When Mr. Kui heard this, his expression changed and he became a little angry. "You know that old man too?"
From the tone of his voice, Jiang Baige felt that there must be something fishy going on. They were both traders, so it was normal for them to have some business rifts.
Jiang Baige raised an eyebrow, "You know him, right? His goods were all given to him by my superiors. He recently received another batch of goods. You guys who are doing business as dealers should have heard about it!"
After hearing what she said, Mr. Kui nodded.
"I heard that with so much merchandise, you must be making a lot of money. Who is your boss? How do you know him?"
Seeing his curious expression, Jiang Baige raised her hand and pinched her nose uncomfortably.
She was telling lies, making up stories as she spoke, and she was having trouble keeping up.
I had no choice but to say, "I don't know about that. Things over there are not my business, and I have no right to ask."
She pretended to be mysterious and said, "Master Kui, you shouldn't have any concerns about this, right?"
Mr. Kui originally wanted to ask, but he also didn't want to lose to that old man Yang Wu.
He nodded and said, "I trust you today. You can deliver the goods here in a while, and we will go out to make room for you."
Jiang Baige breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't lie, business would be easier after this incident.
Kratos looked at the things on the notebook and there was nothing he didn't want.
He picked up the pen that Jiang Baige had placed on the table and began to draw.
One hundred or two hundred kilograms of rice was too little, so he directly wrote one thousand kilograms.
He had heard that Yang Wu imported two to three thousand kilograms of rice.
After Kui Ye wrote down the desired quantity, he handed the notebook to Jiang Baige.
"Little comrade, take a look, do you have all these things I want?"
Jiang Baige took it, looked at it, calculated it carefully, and nodded.
"I have both. I'll calculate the money and give me yours first."
Jiang Baige glanced at the watch on her wrist. It was almost ten o'clock. If she didn't go back, she would be late getting up tomorrow.
Jiang Baige was very good at arithmetic and calculated all the prices in just two minutes.
He handed the notebook over again, "Master Kui, take a look. Are you sure you want so much? It costs a lot of money."
Mr. Kui took it and looked at it. It was a total of 35,000 yuan. It was not much, but his money was placed somewhere else. It would be too late to dig it out now.
He said with some embarrassment, "You have to wait here. I'll go home and get the money for you."
This was quite troublesome, and Jiang Baige was in a hurry to go home.
She said, "I don't necessarily need money for this. Antiques, jade, antique furniture, small yellow croakers, all can be exchanged."
Jiang Baige was certain that people like Mr. Kui must have antiques, jades, gold bars and so on.
In those days, when there was nothing to eat at home, some families would take out their treasures to exchange for food, while some families were still very wealthy before liberation.
After the reform and opening up, they were not allowed to do business. They had no income and had to rely on the few work points to survive, so they would exchange their family treasures for food.
Some families spend all their money just to have a bite to eat and fill their stomachs.
Kratos really thought about it seriously. He had quite a lot of this stuff, but he was reluctant to exchange it for food.
These things were beaten and smashed after liberation, and now it is difficult to collect them. I just collected a few of them in the past two days, but haven't had time to bury them yet.
If it can be exchanged, then do it! There should be another chance in the future, and if someone else comes to exchange it, he can just charge more.
He smiled and said, "I have a few here. If you like them, I'll give them to you."
Jiang Baige widened her eyes calmly, thinking, she really guessed it.
Mr. Kui shouted to the outside: "San'er, come here, follow me and move the things out of the house."
Hearing the noise in the house, San'er ran in from outside, "Master, what are you moving?"
San'er looked at the girl with a bewildered expression, thinking, "What does she want to buy? She needs two people to carry it. Will she be able to take it away later?"
Mr. Kui took San'er to the inner room, and soon he brought back a few boxes.
Looking at those boxes, they are obviously old items, and the things inside are definitely more valuable than the boxes.
The two put the box on the table and went in again.
When Mr. Kui came out, he was carrying a bag, and San'er came out with two boxes.
Jiang Baige looked at the pile of things, swallowed, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
San'er knew that they still had something to say, so he ran outside to watch the door again.
There were only two of them left in the room. Kui Ye opened the boxes one by one and said, "Look, little comrade, this is far more than the money for the food!"
Jiang Baige followed his hand and looked at the boxes.
A box contains a pair of transparent cups. They look like they are made of either jade or glass. Since Mr. Kratos has collected them, they must be valuable.
In another box, there was something like a seal, which looked like it was made of gold, and there was a leopard on the seal.
Jiang Baige was very interested in this and picked it up to take a look.
She wanted to study this, as its origin seemed complicated.
Mr. Kui said on the side: "It is said that this seal belonged to a certain prince, and later fell into the hands of a landlord. A few years ago, during the Landlord game, it fell into the hands of someone else."
"During the famine two years ago, that man exchanged it for 100 kilograms of rice. I'll give it to you. If you don't like it, you have to return it to me.
"I've given you all this good stuff, but you have to give me more food."
Jiang Baige heard that he had another request and nodded in agreement, "No problem."
This thing is already in her hands, how could it be taken out again? If she wasn't stupid, she probably wouldn't take it out again.
It's silly to think about it. She coughed lightly. Isn't this saying that Kui Ye is stupid? Or she just thought about it and didn't say it out loud.
