Chapter 48 Buying a house in town
Yue Qiang pondered for a moment and said, "I want 500 kilograms each of pork and beef, and 100 kilograms of mutton. Can you provide it?"
After listening to Yue Qiang's words, Shi Qingqian nodded and said, "Brother Qiang, I can still afford this amount. However, the price of meat is much higher than that of grain. You have to prepare what I want."
Yue Qiang frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Then I'll prepare some ancient calligraphy and paintings for you. I spent a lot of effort to get these."
Shi Qingqian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, then we'll continue the transaction at the old place and time."
Yue Qiang replied, "Okay."
After Shi Qingqian left the black market and had dinner, she returned to the guesthouse. She entered the space and prepared the pork, beef and mutton that needed to be traded.
Looking at these meats, she felt emotional. In this era of material scarcity, these things were indeed rare treasures.
At night, Shi Qingqian arrived at the abandoned warehouse early.
She took the meat out of the space and arranged it neatly. After a while, Yue Qiang and his men arrived as promised.
When Yue Qiang saw the neatly arranged meat, his eyes lit up. He waved his hand and his men brought seven large boxes.
When the box was opened, inside were exquisite calligraphy and paintings and precious ancient books.
Shi Qingqian examined them carefully. These calligraphy and paintings and ancient books were of very high value, and she was very satisfied.
“It’s pretty good.”
Yue Qiang said, "These are all the best things I have saved. However, the next transaction may take some time. I don't have much left."
Shi Qingqian nodded and said, "To be honest, I will be leaving Fengshan City soon. I can't say when I will come back. You have plenty of time to search slowly."
When he knew that Qingqian was leaving, he thought to himself that this was his God of Wealth. How could he let him go and never come back?
Yue Qiang was shocked: "Comrade Xu is leaving?"
Shi Qingqian nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Brother Qiang, I have almost finished my work in Fengshan City. It's time for me to leave. Do you have any other work to do elsewhere?"
Yue Qiang frowned and said anxiously, "Comrade Xu, when can you come back so we can continue the transaction?"
Shi Qingqian smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, after this transaction, I don't have much stock left, and I'm not sure about my future plans. However, if there's a chance in the future, I'd still be happy to continue working with you."
Yue Qiang was a little disappointed after hearing this, but he also knew that he couldn't force it. He said, "Well, Comrade Xu, I wish you a safe journey. If you come to Fengshan City again in the future, please come and see me."
Yue Qiang was about to leave with his men when Shi Qingqian called him.
"My whereabouts are uncertain, so why don't you give me your address, Brother Qiang? When I have the goods, I will write to you."
After hearing Shi Qingqian's words, Yue Qiang hesitated. People like them would most likely be caught by the police once their location was exposed.
But looking at the supplies his men were carrying, he gritted his teeth, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, wrote down an address, and handed it to Shi Qingqian.
"You just need to send the letter to this place and I will receive it."
Shi Qingqian took the address, took a look at it, and then put it in his pocket: "Brother Qiang, we'll see you later."
Yue Qiang nodded and left the warehouse with his men.
……
After staying in the guesthouse for one night, Shi Qingqian took a bus back to town.
However, Shi Qingqian did not return to the village directly, but was thinking about buying a house in the town to facilitate transactions in the future.
Shi Qingqian scanned the crowd, and suddenly, her eyes locked on an old lady.
This auntie looked very cool and was chatting animatedly with the person next to her. Shi Qingqian walked up to her quickly and said with a smile, "Hello, auntie."
The old lady looked at Shi Qingqian in surprise, then smiled warmly and said, "Little comrade, what's the matter?"
Shi Qingqian smiled mysteriously, pulled the aunt aside, and then took out a bag of White Rabbit candy from his pocket, handed it to the aunt, and said, "Aunt, I have something I want to trouble you with. This bag of candy is a thank you gift to you."
When the aunt saw the bag of milk candy, her eyes suddenly lit up. White Rabbit milk candy is a rare thing.
She quickly took the candy and said with a smile, "Oh, little comrade, what should we do? Just tell me what you want to do first. I will definitely help you if I can."
Shi Qingqian said softly, "Auntie, I want to buy a house in town. You've lived here for a long time and have a wide network of contacts. Could you help me find one?"
When the aunt heard this, she frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Buying a house is not a trivial matter. However, I can ask for you. But, young comrade, why do you want to buy a house in town?"
Shi Qingqian had already thought of an excuse. She smiled and said, "Auntie, my family lives in the village. Sometimes I have to go to town to do things, and it's very inconvenient to go back and forth. If I had a house, I could stay there and wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."
The aunt nodded and said, "I see. Let me find out for you."
Shi Qingqian said gratefully, "Thank you so much, Auntie."
The aunt waved her hand and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome, it's just a small matter."
After saying that, the aunt turned and left, leaving Shi Qingqian to wait for her here.
After about an hour, the aunt finally came back.
With an excited smile on her face, she said to Shi Qingqian, "Little comrade, I found a house for you. However, the location of that house is a bit remote. I don't know if you like it."
When Shi Qingqian heard this, she was delighted and said, "Auntie, can you tell me more about the house?"
The aunt nodded and said, "The house is on the west side of the town, near a small alley. It's not big, but it's very clean. It has two rooms and a small yard."
"The owner of the house is an old man with no children. He owns two houses, so he wants to sell one and use the money from the purchase of the house for his retirement."
After hearing this, Shi Qingqian nodded secretly in her heart. The location of the house was a bit remote, which was exactly what she wanted.
"Auntie, can you take me to see that house?"
The aunt nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take you to see it."
After saying that, the aunt took Shi Qingqian towards the house.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived in front of the house and the door was open.
Shi Qingqian looked at the house carefully.
The exterior of the house looks a bit old, but the walls are still solid. There are some flowers and plants planted in the yard. Although it is a bit messy, you can still see the vitality it once had.
