Chapter 44: Let's talk about our abilities? I'm not bad either

Although Qiao Xiazhi likes Cai Tian, ​​he thinks she is a nice person.

But after all, this was the first time they met. Even if she wanted to do business in this area, it was impossible for her to partner with her now.

At the very least, you have to observe and spend some time together before making any decisions.

So she chose to refuse for the time being. "Both of our husbands are soldiers. If we make money in private, will we be criticized? If we are reported and arrested, it will affect their politics."

"Compared with the small amount of money we make and their future, I think it's better for us not to take risks."

These words were naturally what Qiao Xiazhi really thought.

Even if Cai Tian would not have any problems, she could not guarantee that there would not be people who were jealous of them and report them.

After all, this is different from her selling food quietly by herself.

She was fully armed when selling food and used a man's voice. As long as she didn't say it, no one would know that it was she who was doing it.

And selling grain can help a lot of people, so it’s different, completely different.

After listening to Qiao Xiazhi's words, Cai Tian felt that it was indeed the case.

They can't ruin the career that their man has worked so hard for.

Besides, she has a stable job, so it is better for her not to take the risk of doing something that would get her charged with speculation.

Nodding, Cai Tian changed the subject and asked, "By the way, you have already graduated from junior high school for a year, why do you suddenly want to go to the Medical College again? Going to the Medical College is very tiring and hard, it is not like junior high school or high school."

Qiao Xiazhi: "Because my grandfather knows a little bit about Chinese medicine, after learning it, I think it's good to study medicine, so I thought I should learn something since I'm still young."

"You said studying medicine is hard. If it's so hard, why did you study it? Aren't you doing well in the military hospital now?"

Cai Tian said with a bitter face: "At first I wanted to go to high school and then find some connections to get a job in a factory. But my family forced me to go to a medical college."

"I had no choice but to choose this path. It's good to work in a military hospital now, and it's also quite prestigious to talk about it. But this job is tiring."

"If I worked in a factory, I would go to get off work and come home, and I wouldn't have to think about anything after get off work. It's not like now, where I'm busy at get off work and can't sit still after work. I always have to keep learning and improving, right?"

"Like you said, I'm still so young. I can't just be a little nurse, right? Sigh..."

Qiao Xiazhi looked at Cai Tian's bitter face and laughed, "Since you have made the choice, you know you can't stop here, so why not study happily."

"You have no choice anyway, right? Being happy is a learning attitude, being sad is also a learning attitude, so why not adjust your mindset and make yourself happy to learn?"

"Trust me, knowledge belongs to you only if you have it in your own brain. People with skills will never be bad in the future. If you don't have a special skill in the factory, you may be fired at any time if you are in a position that can be replaced by anyone."

"The choice your family made for you was the right one."

Doctors are always in great demand in any era, and capable doctors are even more sought after.

Cai Tian is pretty good. He continues to study while working. Someone who works so hard will not be too bad in the future.

At Qiao Xiazhi's house, Cai Tian had lunch and chatted with her for a while before leaving.

She only has one day off today. Normally, she would rest in the military compound all day and not come out.

But because Qiao Xiazhi had a request, she came out specially. She would have to go back soon and continue working tomorrow.

After seeing Cai Tian off, Qiao Xiazhi was not in a hurry to go out, but studied at home.

When I feel tired, I come out to water the vegetable garden and chat with grandma to relax.

When Jiang Yunchen was not at home, Qiao Xiazhi went to bed early every day.

Jiang Yunchen did not go home this Saturday. As soon as his vacation was over, he returned to the army and was sent out to carry out a mission.

So I guess I'll have to wait until next week.

With the beginning of a new week, Qiao Xiazhi was no longer idle.

So they began to search the black market.

At first, she only used a backpack to carry 200 kilograms of food at a time and exchanged them directly with the "black traders" in the black market.

But on the fourth day, as soon as Qiao Xiazhi passed, someone said to her, "This week, from Monday to today, you have come to exchange food for the fourth day. Instead of going through this every day, why not exchange all the food you have with us at once?"

Hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi finally revealed a satisfied smile under the towel.

If these people don't notice it, she will point it out directly, but there is a difference between her taking the initiative to point it out and them pointing it out.

If she points it out, she will appear passive.

They made it clear that the initiative was still in her hands.

Qiao Xiazhi said in a changed male voice: "Do you have the final say here? Can you make the decision?"

Tang Ming replied: "I am the second in command here, so I can make the decision. Comrade, how about we talk inside?"

Tang Ming gestured to Qiao Xiazhi to talk to him privately in his office.

Because they were in the exchange area. There were some people coming to exchange things, so it was definitely not appropriate to talk about business here.

Qiao Xiazhi had nothing to be afraid of, so she handed the backpack to them temporarily and followed Tang Ming into the office.

"Tell me how much food you have and what you want. You can tell me first."

As soon as he entered the room, Tang Ming went straight to the point.

Qiao Xiazhi was not in a hurry, he just asked simply: "Is the price negotiable? It's not that we can't negotiate."

Tang Ming also smiled under the towel covering his face: "It's not possible outside, but it's possible in this room."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xiazhi simply and straightforwardly gave a price quote: "White flour is 90 cents, corn flour is 40 cents."

The current black market price of these two kinds of food is one yuan and fifty cents.

It is five times the normal market price. In the past, when there was no food problem, the black market price was generally only three times the normal market price.

Of course, Qiao Xiazhi knew that they would not agree to this price right away and would bargain again later.

Then she naturally reported a higher amount.

Tang Ming smiled and said, "Do you know what the price of food is on the black market now?"

Qiao Xiazhi: "Of course I know. I'm not blind or deaf."

Tang Ming: "Knowing this, you still dare to offer such an offer? How much grain do you have?"

Qiao Xiazhi: "Let's talk about price first, then quantity."

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming was quite surprised at Qiao Xiazhi's caution.

Suddenly he finally realized that the reason he could spot the other person was not because the other person was not careful enough, nor was it because he was smart enough.

This is just a flaw that the other party deliberately revealed.

Let him find him and negotiate with him, so that the initiative is in the hands of the other party.

Lifting the corner of his mouth, Tang Ming gave a price they could accept, "75 cents for white flour, 38 cents for cornmeal. This is the highest price we can offer."

"If you're willing, we'll make a deal. If not, then we don't mind you torturing us like this every day."

Qiao Xiazhi: "I don't necessarily have to go through all this trouble every day. After all, you're not the only one in the black market, right? I believe there are many people willing to cooperate with me at this price. Why wouldn't I pick up the money that falls?"

Tang Ming smiled. It seemed that he really met a smart opponent today.

After thinking for a while, he said, "White flour costs 80 cents, and corn flour can't be more."

Qiao Xiazhi: "White flour is 85 cents, corn flour is 40 cents." With this discount, if the quantity is large, the profit can be hundreds of yuan.

Qiao Xiazhi naturally had to strive for the greatest benefit for himself and not give up too much.

After thinking for a while, Tang Ming asked: "How much quantity do you have? How can you be so confident to negotiate the price with me? I gave you a chance to negotiate with me, but I didn't let you be so arrogant."

Qiao Xiazhi: "I'm not being arrogant. If I can negotiate with you, the amount must be big. If you want to make money, you can't be violent. What's more, you are not simple. I can appear here with food in my hands, so I'm not afraid. So whether you want to talk business or tear your face off and talk about ability, smart people know which choice to make."

Hearing this, Tang Ming's eyes turned cold and he looked at Qiao Xiazhi.

How could Qiao Xiazhi be a coward?

She looked him in the face with cold eyes.

If Tang Ming's eyes emitted cold light, then Qiao Xiazhi's eyes emitted ice.

The temperature in the entire office dropped sharply in an instant.

In the end, Tang Ming compromised and clapped his hands to cover up the embarrassment of his retreat.

"Okay, okay, okay, you have guts. You are the first person who comes to my territory and dares to challenge me like this."

"Then do as you say. White flour, 85 cents, cornmeal, 40 cents. I want to see how much you have!"

Qiao Xiazhi: "The first batch will be sold at the small temple to the west of Haishi City's southeast gate at 12 o'clock next Monday night. Six thousand kilograms of white flour and four thousand kilograms of corn flour. Remember to bring enough money. If nothing unexpected happens, there may be more."

She had been secretly searching for the location that Qiao Xiazhi reported over the past few days.

The small temple has long been abandoned, and there must have been many refugees or beggars who stayed there in the past.

But now the dilapidated temple has long been in disrepair and has become a dangerous building. Refugees and beggars would rather sleep under bridges than in such a dangerous building.

Seeing Qiao Xiazhi's fearless look, Tang Ming really believed that she had a strong backing.

And from his accent, it is not difficult to guess that he is from another place. The appointment was made next Monday, so he was going to prepare food.

Without any more suspicion, in order to make money, Tang Ming naturally chose to maintain peace.

"Okay, then see you at the small temple next Monday." He then extended his right hand to express his willingness to shake hands and cooperate.

Qiao Xiazhi was wearing men's leather gloves and did not take them off. He simply shook hands with him.

That’s all about the cooperation for now.

The two hundred kilograms brought today were still exchanged at the usual price. After taking the money, Qiao Xiazhi left directly.

After coming out of the black market and passing through the winding alleys, Qiao Xiazhi made sure that there was no one around. Then he took off his equipment, put the backpack into the space, and walked out carrying the cloth bag on his back.

When she got home, she read books every day as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Yunchen came back at the weekend and didn't find anything unusual.

The young couple felt like a newlywed after a short separation and spent two days in love with each other.

On Sunday afternoon, Jiang Yunchen continued to return to the army.

On Monday night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Qiao Xiazhi went to the agreed location quietly to wait for the transaction.
