Chapter 104

“Oh, Big Brother, then what’s the maximum quantity you can offer? I can give you a price.”

Xia Yunxuan: “This is our first transaction, we don’t know each other well, so let’s trade a little less.”

“Pork, fruit, rice, and flour, each can be given to you eight thousand catties.”

“As for oil, at most I can give you two thousand catties, no more. White sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, each can be given to you one thousand catties.”

“Watches, bicycles, sewing machines, radios, one hundred pieces each. But the pork is all live, do you want it? I don’t know how to slaughter.”

The black market group was stunned when they heard Xia Yunxuan’s numbers. Where did this rich man come from, so generous? If they could get this deal, they would definitely make a fortune. They quickly said, “Yes, yes, we want the live ones.”

Hearing the tone of this Big Brother, this was only the first transaction, the quantity was less, if there was a next transaction, the quantity would definitely be more. They had to get along well with this person.

They would be fools not to take such a good source of goods. It was much better than them going around looking for goods. And compared to this Big Brother’s goods, theirs were simply garbage.

Zhou Yishan asked, “Brother Shang Yun, do you really have so many goods in your hands? You’re not fooling me?”

Xia Yunxuan: “Do you think I’m bored and came to the black market to fool you? As long as you pay the right price, the goods are not a problem.”

“Also, I like to deal with people who are sincere. If you’re the kind of person who likes to play tricks behind the scenes, then we’ll probably only have one transaction, maybe even none at all.”

Zhou Yishan: “Brother Shang Yun, don’t worry. Although we do black market business, we still have a conscience. We won’t do anything like robbing people blind. Otherwise, our black market would have been reported long ago.”

“When you came, you probably saw the Public Security Bureau in front. Actually, they know we’re a black market here. The reason they haven’t come to investigate us is because we haven’t broken any laws.”

“Another reason is that the people also need to eat. The amount of rationed food is definitely not enough. So they just turn a blind eye. But the prerequisite is that no one reports it.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Oh, that’s good. We’re both not easy, we’re just making a living. We definitely hope we can cooperate often and make money together. Isn’t that good?”

Zhou Yishan felt like he had met a kindred spirit. He suddenly stood up and slapped the table, startling everyone. They didn’t know what the Boss was so excited about.

Zhou Yishan also realized that he was a little out of line. He immediately said, “Brother Shang Yun, sorry, I’m just too excited. It seems like we’re on the same page. Maybe we can become friends in the future.”

“Then when are we going to trade? Where are we going to trade? There are so many goods, I need to prepare the money. I definitely don’t have enough money for such a large quantity.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Let’s trade at eight thirty tonight in the small woods outside the city. If you really don’t have enough money, you can use old objects, gold bars, big yellow fish, small yellow fish, jewelry, paintings, anything. But I only want good stuff.”

“Oh, Brother Shang Yun, I didn’t expect you to also love collecting old objects and paintings. In that case, I should have enough money. But you have to think carefully, these things are not worth much now. Once we trade, there’s no return or exchange.”

Xia Yunxuan: “As long as it’s top-grade goods, no defective products, I won’t return or exchange. I have a friend who likes to collect these old objects, it’s just a personal hobby, we have to satisfy him, right?”

Xia Yunxuan: “Then you guys go ahead, I’ll go back and prepare the goods. Hopefully we can have a smooth transaction tonight.”

Xia Yunxuan walked out of the black market and looked at the time. It was already 4 pm. She went to a deserted alley, removed her disguise, and turned back into a beautiful woman.

She rarely came to the city, she had to see if she could find anything good. After walking for a few minutes, she was stopped by a dirty little boy, “Sister, can I trade my things for some food? My grandma and I are really hungry, Sister, please be kind.”

Xia Yunxuan saw the things in the little boy’s hand and was a little surprised. It was jade and sapphires. These would be good things in the future.

But she also knew that these things were worthless now, they wouldn’t even exchange for a few big meat buns. Xia Yunxuan asked, “Little brother, how much grain do you want to exchange?”

The little boy was thin and wore ragged clothes, he said cautiously, “Sister, my grandma is sick, I want some fine grain to make her some porridge, okay?”

“She’s old, she can’t eat coarse grain, it will get stuck in her throat.” Xia Yunxuan felt sad when she heard the little boy’s words. In this era, so many people suffered injustice.

The little boy saw that Xia Yunxuan didn’t answer, thinking that she didn’t want to, he lowered his head and said softly, “Sister, if you think it’s too little, my family has more, I can give you some more, do you think that’s okay?”

“Little brother, don’t worry, it’s not that Sister doesn’t want to, it’s just that I don’t have any grain on me now. Where do you live? I’ll get some grain and send it to you, how about that? What’s your name?”

“Also, you have to keep this thing safe. If someone with malicious intent finds out, you won’t be able to keep it.”

The little boy said, “Sister, my name is Xingyu, my grandma gave me this name. We live in the alley in front, the most dilapidated house, that’s where my grandma and I live.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Xingyu, then you go back first, Sister will be there soon. You can’t stay outside, what if you’re targeted by bad people?”

Xingyu: “Sister, I know you’re a good person, you have to come, otherwise Grandma will probably starve to death. Grandma is very good to me, I can’t bear to see her suffer.”

Xia Yunxuan: “Xingyu, go back and wait for Sister. Since I promised, I won’t break my word.”

Xia Yunxuan walked a little further, came to a deserted alley, looked around, and after making sure no one was around, she used her shoulder bag to cover herself and took out a bag of flour, eggs, a bucket of rice, a can of malted milk, some sausage, and some bacon. This could last them for a while.

She also took a small pot of oil, some coarse grain, some sweet potatoes, and some potatoes. It wasn’t that she was generous or a saint, it was just that she had encountered them, so she would do a good deed. This little boy was very polite, he must have been well-educated by his grandmother.

People like that used to have a high status, but because of the times, they are now living in poverty.

She also put 20 yuan and some ration coupons under the rice. This little boy had encountered her, it was fate. Hopefully he and his grandma could live well.

Xia Yunxuan looked at the time, it was almost time. She carried the things and went to the place the little boy mentioned. It wasn’t far, she arrived in a few minutes. The place they lived in was really dilapidated.

Sigh, Xia Yunxuan sighed. This era had hurt so many innocent people.
