Chapter 67 Transaction (revised)
"Okay, stop wasting time and just say what you want to say." The old man rolled his eyes at the little girl squatting next to him.
"Oh!" Bai Nuo failed to play the victim and stopped struggling.
Before coming, she had already counted all the supplies she had collected during this period, and cleared out the things she wanted to sell recently. However, the items were a bit mixed, so this time she planned to give away the rice, flour and bicycle she had borrowed from the fat pig director, and sell the rest slowly.
"I now have 1,000 kilograms of rice and 1,000 kilograms of flour, as well as five 28-inch bicycles and two 26-inch women's bicycles, all of which are Shanghai Phoenix brand."
After Bai Nuo finished speaking, he looked at the old man quietly. His meaning was very clear. He was going to rely on it. Just tell him whether you will accept it or not.
In fact, one thousand kilograms of rice and one thousand kilograms of flour may sound like a lot in words, but it is not actually that much. Now each bag of rice and flour is fifty kilograms, and one thousand kilograms is only twenty bags of each. In such a large black market, it may not be enough to sell for two days.
But if you add the 5.28-inch truck and two 26-inch trucks, it’s not a small amount.
The old man twitched his lips speechlessly when he saw the little girl acting like a rogue. However, he didn't think it was too little. Even if the bicycle couldn't be sold in the county, it would be sold out in minutes if it was taken to the city.
After all, for some people, money is easy to come by, but tickets are hard to come by.
There are many black market spies around here, and the old man is not afraid of being heard by outsiders, so he directly makes an offer.
"Rice at the state-owned grain depot is 23 cents a pound, and flour is 18 cents, and you need a ticket. The normal price on the black market is three times that: 69 cents for rice and 54 cents for flour, and you don't need a ticket. I'll charge you 60 cents a pound for rice and 46 cents for flour. What do you say?"
"For your sake, old man, that must be okay." Bai Nuo nodded without hesitation.
She knew the price on the black market after just taking a look around. It was indeed this price. Some retail prices might be four times higher than those at the state-owned grain stations, but compared to the purchase price on the black market, the price given to her was very fair.
The old man rolled his eyes speechlessly as he looked at the little girl who was acting like a good girl after getting the advantage.
This is the price he offered because he asked for it. If those young people in charge gave him only 50 cents, they would be considered conscientious.
However, the old man has been a rebellious person since he was young. If he likes someone, he will do anything. But if he doesn't like someone, even mountains of gold and silver may not be able to make the old man look good.
"Also, the original price for a Phoenix 28-inch bicycle is 168, plus a bicycle ticket. In our market, it's 210, no ticket required. The seven you have are 190 each, no ticket required. What do you think?"
"No problem, Grandpa, since you're so straightforward, I can't ask you for anything else. It's settled."
Bai Nuo smiled and nodded. His face looked ordinary, nothing special about it, but his bright eyes were full of joy, with a hint of cunning in them, which made the old man shake his head.
How could there be such a shameless little girl!
Bai Nuo agreed on the place and time to pick up the goods. The place was in a dilapidated house deep in an old and dilapidated street not far from her home.
There was originally a wealthy businessman living there, but it was smashed and destroyed when the movement started. I heard that everyone in the house hanged themselves, and several families nearby were also relocated or moved away. Some people used to say that the place was haunted, but now it is illegal to promote feudal superstitions, so no one dares to say it. But no one dares to go near the place either during the day or at night.
These were the places that Bai Nuo asked the system to find on the way here. They were really suitable for secret transactions.
"Okay, it's settled." The old man was a very straightforward person. He waved his hand after the deal was done.
"Hey, Grandpa, are you cold? Are you hungry? Do you want me to buy you some big meat buns?"
Bai Nuo was not in a hurry to leave. He continued to squat where he was, looking at the old man with a smile.
If someone else said this, it might sound like flattery, but the little girl's sweet and sticky voice coupled with her coquettish tone made her sound like a little granddaughter coaxing her grandfather.
However, the old man thought that this was the appearance of a stinky girl who was playful and shameless, and he was so scared by her laughter.
"Alright, alright, I got it. If you have anything next time, just come to me. Get out of here right now and stop staring at me. It's making my scalp tingle."
"Okay, grandpa!"
Bai Nuo got what he wanted, stood up quickly, turned around, pushed his little bicycle and was about to run.
"Stinky girl, wait a minute!" The old man frowned slightly, looking at the stinky girl with dissatisfaction, and glared at her fiercely: "You only know how to call me grandpa, but don't you know how to sign up? Otherwise, if I'm not here in the future, who will you go to?"
"Bai Nuo, Nuo as in Nuoyan, Grandpa!" Bai Nuo sat astride the chair, one toe touching the ground, and turned his head to look at the old man with a smile.
The old man's brow twitched slightly, and he looked quietly into those bright and sparkling eyes. His expression was calm, and his thoughts could not be seen. Then he chuckled softly and waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, get out of here quickly. If you need anything next time, come here. If I'm not around, just say you're here to see your Grandpa Yu."
"Okay, Grandpa, bye."
The standard Beijing accent, tinged with a touch of Shanghainese Wu dialect, created a unique blend that made the old man pause in his waving. He quickly looked up at the girl's cheerful back, pursed his lips, and couldn't help but shout, "Make your face look better next time. It's so ugly."
Until Bai Nuo's figure disappeared, the door behind the old man, which had been closed all the time, slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with a strong build and a straight waist walked out. The man had a long scar on the right side of his cheek, which made his originally mature and handsome face look more ferocious and fierce.
"Old man?"
"Go check if there are any educated youth who have gone to the countryside recently, and find out how many girls there are named Bai Nuo. Come back after you find out, and don't disturb others."
"Niuniu?"
The middle-aged man looked at the old man in surprise. Bai Nuo looked simple, but it was not a common name. Could it be such a coincidence that they had the same name?
The old man sighed softly, "Let's go check it out. By the way, ask what's going on in Shanghai. Why did they send the child here so suddenly without any prior notice?"
"Okay, I'll go right away!" The middle-aged man nodded quickly, turned around and walked quickly towards the small door in the backyard.
"Host, why tell him?" After leaving the black market street, the system couldn't help but speak.
The corners of Bai Nuo's mouth curved upwards in a beautiful arc, and his tone was light and gentle, but it could be heard that he was in a good mood.
"I think this old man looks very familiar. He looks a lot like my love-brained aunt and grandfather."
"The host suspects that he is my great-uncle?"
"Not necessarily. There are a few old men in the Yu family who look a lot like my aunt and grandfather. The Yu family lives in the government compound near my home. I've seen them all. If it weren't for my love-brained aunt and grandfather, I'd have to wonder what his purpose is here!"
Bai Nuo turned his head to glance at the alley behind him, frowning slightly: "I just want to confirm whether the Yu family's position has not changed. I don't want my uncle and grandfather to be caught in the middle and embarrassed."
So, it depends on who this person is!
