More than an hour later, the car returning to the city arrived safely at the south gate of Huoniu City.
Chen Wangping put on his hood and got off the car with everyone else.
As soon as I got out of the car, a group of consignees came over.
Everyone was smiling and shouting enthusiastically.
"If you have good stuff, I guarantee you a high price."
"Buy animal meat, the price is fair!"
"Buy the herbs! Buy them at a high price!"
"Weapons repaired! The price is low."
"Please come this way if you're staying overnight or eating."
However, Chen Wangping was not bothered by the enthusiastic businessmen.
The reason is simple. People lose interest when they see that his hands are empty.
Chen Wangping was also relieved and walked into the city and rushed towards Lao Zhang.
I haven't seen him for several days, and I don't know how many magnets Lao Zhang has accumulated.
On the way to Yuanfang Street, Chen Wangping found that there were fewer pedestrians on the road, as if they were all at home.
Chen Wangping found an empty corner, took a piece of blue iron ore the size of a human head, put it in the basket behind him, and simply covered it with a cloth.
Then he walked to the door of Lao Zhang's shop and saw Lao Zhang guarding the counter with a sad face.
Chen Wangping walked over and greeted him with a smile, "Lao Zhang, do you have any magnets?"
When Old Zhang heard Chen Wangping's voice, he immediately jumped up, "Xiao Chen? You're still alive!"
Chen Wangping: “…”
Old Zhang smiled and put his arm around Chen Wangping's shoulders and said, "I was just kidding. I'm glad you're okay."
After carrying Chen Wangping to the inner room, Lao Zhang whispered, "Xiao Chen, do you have any blue iron ore?"
Chen Wangping shook the ore basket and nodded. "What's the current purchase price?"
As soon as Lao Zhang heard the collision sound inside the ore basket, he was immediately happy and jumped over to lift the cloth covering it.
After seeing the blue iron ore as big as a human head, he was even more surprised. He praised it repeatedly:
"Xiao Chen, you're amazing! You were able to sneak out such a large piece of blue iron ore!"
"Other people only bring out fist-sized ones at most, and you can actually carry such a large amount of blue iron ore!"
“Extraordinary talent!”
Chen Wangping: “???”
What is this old guy saying?
Before he could ask, Lao Zhang excitedly said, "The Inner City is keeping a close eye on blue iron ore right now. There's very little blue iron ore circulating in the Outer City, and the price has been rising. A large piece like this could be sold for six silver coins if it were sent to the Inner City. I'll give you five silver coins, and the transportation costs are also my own."
Chen Wangping nodded. He had thought it through before he came. Blue iron ore could only be sold secretly. If he sold it to other people, it would probably cause trouble. In addition, Lao Zhang had helped him collect many magnets, so he might as well sell it to Lao Zhang.
He secretly calculated in his mind that one piece could be sold for five silver coins, and one hundred pieces would be five gold coins.
He had inquired before and found out that the price for contracting a small iron mine on the Black Rock Mine Slope was twenty gold coins per year.
Not to mention the impact of large amounts of blue iron ore on the market, if I can dig up 400 pieces of blue iron ore, I can contract a small iron mine.
The space at home is still too small, and it is not convenient to develop in the city.
I still have to find a way to get my own iron mine.
Chen Wangping waved his hand and said, "Five silver coins is a little too little. I'll agree if you give me some magnets."
Lao Zhang agreed immediately and took out a bag of magnets that he had prepared long ago and handed it over.
Chen Wangping immediately opened it and counted it. There were more than sixty pieces in total.
That's quite nice.
The two parties exchanged money and received the goods.
However, Lao Zhang deliberately wore a pair of gloves when he took the blue iron ore, which made Chen Wangping frown.
After moving the blue iron ore, Lao Zhang took off his gloves while saying to Chen Wangping, "By the way, don't hang around the Outer City Lord's Mansion these days. The supervisor from the Inner City took over the office this morning and brought a group of people from the Inner City with him. They're checking the population according to the household registration. Although you definitely have a household registration, it will take half a day to investigate if you're caught. It's a waste of time."
Chen Wangping frowned, "Lao Zhang, do you think something is going to happen?"
Lao Zhang curled his lips. "Who knows? It's nothing more than checking for spies, the impending war, and grabbing resources. Who cares?"
Chen Wangping nodded, put on his hood and walked outside, "Thank you, Lao Zhang."
"You're welcome. When you've had a good rest, try to bring me another piece of ore!" Lao Zhang saw him off enthusiastically.
After leaving Yuanfang Street, Chen Wangping found a shortcut and quickly returned home.
"Checking the population? That might lead to the discovery of Wang Jin's death. We need to quickly dig out the small copper mine in Wang Jin's home!"
Through the wall, Chen Wangping first checked the radar to make sure that no one was at Wang Jin's house.
He put on shoe covers, climbed over the wall skillfully, and prepared to check the situation.
But as soon as he jumped over, he found many differences from yesterday.
There were footprints on the door, on the ground, in the yard, and on the walls, and there were also signs of other people rummaging through the house.
Chen Wangping leaned against the wall and analyzed the situation quickly. "There are so many people, and they're raiding Wang Jin's house so brazenly. They're either Wang Jin's enemies, or Guo Qikai! Did he know Wang Jin was dead? Is he here to profit from his death?"
Chen Wangping didn't know what Wang Jin did before he died, and he didn't think of keeping him alive to force a confession.
"Forget it. No matter who they are, they definitely have bad intentions. Wang Jin has already given me his inheritance. These people are definitely enemies, not friends."
Chen Wangping thought about it and decided not to sleep tonight. He would go to dig copper mine overnight after curfew.
Delay will lead to changes, so you must seize the opportunity.
The copper mine is in the bag.
