After traveling through time, she happily became the group's favorite

Guan Huijun looked at the fine grains and meat in front of him, and his usually stern face became warm at this moment. He said to the lady in front of him in what he thought was the most gentle words:

"Auntie, look at the quality of the grain and meat in your hands. I won't say much, you know that the quality is very good.

If you sell it at a supply and marketing cooperative, you may not be able to get a good price and may be easily forced to lower the price. If you sell it on the black market, it is very dangerous and you may be easily discovered.

Why don't you sell them all to me? That way, we'll both be safe and we can convert the supplies into cash, each getting what we need. Would you consider selling us your future goods as well?"

When Lin Sitian heard what she had expected, she started to deceive people: "Young man, to be honest, I am not short of money or food. I just think it is a waste to keep these supplies with me.

I just thought of memorizing it and trying my luck. Today is my first time. Now that you said so, I also think it’s too dangerous to go to the black market, so I’ll sell it to you!

Next time if you need this food, come find me in this alley, and if I'm there, I'll sell it to you."

Hearing that there would be opportunities for future cooperation, Guan Huijun persuaded her even harder: "Auntie, to be honest, it's not easy to get high-quality grains, and there must be only a limited supply.

Rather than taking it to the black market and being ripped off by others, it’s better to have a long-term, stable customer. That way the risk of getting caught is less, right? (??w??)(?ˉ??ˉ??)”

Lin Sitian tried her best to pretend to be lectured, pretended to think for a moment and replied:

"That's right. I'll sell it all to you. Next time, I won't sell it elsewhere. If you need food, come to this alley and meow like a cat three times. I live nearby, and I'll find you in this alley when the time comes."

"Okay, Auntie. Thank you. I understand. Next time I'll definitely come here and learn how to meow. You must listen carefully!"

"Okay, okay, we'll talk about the next thing next time. Let's talk about how to sell the rice and pork first."

"Okay, okay, Auntie, do you want money or tickets? To be honest, I'm just an educated youth who just went to the countryside and don't have many tickets."

"Then pay the money. The price of rice in the supply and marketing cooperative is 1 yuan per catty without a ticket, 8 yuan per catty with a ticket, and if you don't have a ticket, then it's 1.5 yuan per catty!

The same price applies to white flour and pork, so there's no need to bother calculating other prices! So, all in all, the total is 225 yuan.

I see that a young man like you cannot carry away so many things. Give me 200 yuan first. I will wait here while you call your companions to help you carry the things. When your companions come and take out all the things, they can return the backpack and basket to me.

Give me the remaining 25 yuan, and I'll go back home and bring you some vegetables as soon as your friend comes."

When Guan Huijun heard about this good deal, including free vegetables and rice and flour without any sand, and the total cost was only 225 yuan, he thought it was a great deal. He hurriedly said:

"Okay, okay! Auntie, please wait here. I'll go call my companions. When they arrive, you can go home to get the vegetables. We'll free up the backpack and basket for you."

"Okay, then you go." As soon as Lin Sitian finished speaking, Guan Huijun ran towards Wang Wenxiang and the others impatiently.

"Wang Zhiqing, there's fine grains over there: flour, rice, and pork. I've already bought all of these top-quality goods, but there's too much for me to carry alone. You two should come with me!"

As soon as Wang Wenxiang heard this, he called Xia Zhiyan and he, a total of three people, to walk towards the alley. The rest of the educated youth remained guarding outside to avoid being discovered by the people with red armbands.

The three of them happened to have bought a few backpacks on the street today, and each of them carried a backpack and walked inside.

When they saw the fine grains in front of the old lady, they were all excited. They had never seen such good quality grains in the city.

When the old lady saw the three people coming, she turned around and left the alley without hesitation. Lin Sitian actually went to survey the terrain to see if there were any dilapidated small courtyards nearby that were uninhabited, so that he could create a space to store supplies for a long time.

But Wang Wenxiang and the others didn't know, so they asked in confusion: "Did Aunt Guan Zhiqing just leave like that?"

"No, her home is nearby. I just discussed it with her in this alley. She will sell this quality food to us for a long time and won't sell it to anyone else. Then she will go home and get us fresh vegetables. We should quickly empty the baskets and backpacks."

As he spoke, he emptied the contents of the backpack into his own. The other two educated youth followed suit, asking, "Since we've been cooperating for a long time, how much does he sell us this high-quality grain?"

"The rice and flour we're packing right now, along with the pork next to it, are all 1.5 yuan per jin, and the eggs next to them are 2 each, and the duck and goose eggs are 2.5 each. I bought a total of 50 jin of rice, 50 jin of flour, 50 jin of pork, 16 eggs, and 16 duck and goose eggs."

When Wang Wenxiang heard that the unit price was so cheap and they were buying so much, and that they wanted to cooperate for a long time, he couldn't help but praise: "Guan Zhiqing, your negotiation skills are amazing!

The price of rice, flour, and meat of this quality is quite cheap, and the quality of the eggs is also good. How much did it cost in total? We will return it to you when the time comes."

"Okay, brothers should be fair in their accounts. Since you don't mind that my food is expensive, then we will definitely eat together. This egg cost a total of 9.6 yuan, and the food and meat next to it cost a total of 225 yuan."

While they were chatting about this, Lin Sitian also found a house not far from the alley. It looked quite clean and big. She asked around and found out that the house belonged to a capitalist in the town.

Now that the capitalists have been relocated, the house has become empty. No one else dares to live there, and there are few people around. Isn't this convenient for Lin Sitian??·??·??*?? ??, so after checking that there was no one around, she walked in through the back door.

After briefly cleaning and tidying the room, he took out a variety of supplies from the space and placed them in the empty rooms, then quietly left through the back door.

When he was not far from the alley, he took out the vegetables he had just processed from the space and put them in a big basket. There were fresh beans, pumpkins, green vegetables, cabbage, green peppers, onions and ginger.

Carrying the basket, I walked into the alley and saw that the three young men in front of me had already cleared out all the supplies.

He walked forward and handed the basket full of vegetables to Guan Huijun, saying, "This basket of vegetables and this basket are for you. Please return this backpack and basket to me."

Guan Huijun took the basket full of vegetables with a smile on his face, put the empty basket into the empty backpack, and handed it to the old lady in front of him who looked plain but very capable.

After handing over the basket, Guan Huijun took out the remaining 25 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the old lady.

Lin Sitian took it with satisfaction and made a very satisfied expression before hesitantly saying, "I thought a lot on the way here. Instead of you meowing like a cat, I might not be able to hear you.

It would be better for me to take you directly to the door of my house. Next time, you can come to my house to find me directly. Otherwise, I am afraid you won’t be able to find it. Besides, I don’t plan to sell it to anyone else, so come with me. I think you look quite honest and you should not cheat me.

After all, my food is good and cheap. You know what to do.”

Upon hearing this, several people looked at each other in surprise. Xia Zhiyan was the first to ask, "Auntie, don't worry. We won't do anything that will harm our own interests. You can rest assured.

In that case, can we call all my other educated youth over and go to your place to get acquainted with the place? Then you can keep an eye on the seven of us. If any of us come to buy something, it will be bought for us as a group. Is that okay with you?"

"Can you guarantee that all seven of you can be trusted?"

"Yes, yes. We originally had eight educated youth, but another girl went to live with her friend. I'll bring her to you next time. All eight of us went to the countryside together, and we can all get by."

"Okay, then bring the person over here and let's go and identify the door together!"

So, Wang Wenxiang went out of the alley again to call other educated youth, and a group of eight people walked towards the small courtyard that Lin Sitian had prepared in advance.

On the way there, Xia Zhiyan carefully and quietly told the educated youth who were watching outside the specific matters. They were also very excited after hearing it, but they concealed it very well.
