CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 28: SPACE PROSPERITY 10

She just wants to be beautiful alone now, some troubles can be postponed for a day if possible.

Right, she can’t leave yet; she needs to look around for seeds to buy.

Her space farm is not rich enough; she wants to include all plants and animals so that she can use whatever she needs whenever she needs it.

Jiang Mingyue continued browsing while pushing her bike but didn’t find what she wanted.

Instead, a man followed her.

Jiang Mingyue initially thought that her actions in the black market had attracted attention and caused trouble, but the man waved his hands repeatedly.

"Comrade, don’t misunderstand, my name is A Qiang, everyone calls me Du Shouqiang."

Jiang Mingyue then noticed that his right sleeve was empty.

It seems, this is a man with a story.

"Here’s the thing, I want to ask if you still have meat for sale, how much we want, you can be assured, the price is absolutely fair. Of course, if there are other things, we want them too."

She’s encountering a reseller.

Du Shouqiang nervously stared at Jiang Mingyue after speaking.

Jiang Mingyue didn’t disappoint Du Shouqiang, after all, when you feel sleepy someone brings over a pillow, naturally, she had to catch it quickly.

"Sure, as long as the price is right, I do have connections to find what you need."

Jiang Mingyue dared not reveal too much to strangers; she must be cautious on this matter.

Du Shouqiang was overjoyed and immediately invited Jiang Mingyue to sit down somewhere to talk.

Jiang Mingyue followed, and Du Shouqiang marveled internally; such a bold woman is not often seen, let alone that she still looks young.

After a few turns, Du Shouqiang led Jiang Mingyue into a small courtyard, closed the door, and a grown Tibetan mastiff was crouching behind the door. Du Shouqiang observed Jiang Mingyue and saw she seemed as if she hadn’t seen it, just bypassing it directly.

Du Shouqiang was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped: this girl is too formidable, totally different from her frail appearance. He remembers during his first encounter with "Ao Ao," even as a big man he felt weak-kneed, only later after getting along did he know "Ao Ao" won’t attack without owner’s command, allowing him to be at ease around it.

Unlike the person in front.

"Cough, cough, Mr. Jiang, my Ao Ao really likes you." Only by associating it to luck could he find solace.

Jiang Mingyue said nothing, inspecting the courtyard.

Though the courtyard wasn’t big, the structure was rather elaborate; who knows which master crafted it, people coming and going were quite lively, Du Shouqiang directly led Jiang Mingyue to the main hall.

Those people just now were coming from here.

A thirty-something man was sitting in the main hall, ignoring the centipede scar running from the corner of his eye to his jaw.

He was a scholarly, mild-mannered man, seeing her come, he stood up politely.

Du Shouqiang stepped forward and spoke: "Brother Pan, good news, this comrade may have what we need."

The man’s previously calm face suddenly showed interest.

"My family name is Pan, Pan Zhoucong, Comrade can call me Old Pan or Pan."

Old Pan? You’re only in your thirties, right?

"Jiang Mingyue. I’ll call you Pan."

"Please sit, Da Qiang, brew a pot of the fresh tea from yesterday."

"Okay!"

Pan Zhoucong was straightforward, no useless words, straight to the point: "Mr. Jiang appears to be a smart person, I’m sure I don’t need to explain everything about my business? That’s right, as you might think, I do a bit of everything, whatever makes money. But I do stick to my principles; what shouldn’t be done I absolutely don’t touch, please rest assured on this, Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Mingyue nodded, seemingly trusting his words. Actually, she had just used spiritual power to probe, he had indeed sought profit while avoiding harm, and in some ways, he had saved quite a few people.

"Pan, I naturally trust your conduct; otherwise, I wouldn’t sit down to talk with you.

I have two thousand pounds of wheat flour, two thousand pounds of rice, six thousand pounds of corn, five hundred pounds of buckwheat flour, four hundred pounds of peanuts, sixty pounds of sesame, five thousand pounds of sweet potatoes, eight thousand pounds of potatoes, over a hundred pounds of white sugar, some brown sugar, as well as..."

Jiang Mingyue only focused on reporting the quantities she could take out from her space, not noticing Da Qiang who was brewing tea excitedly almost couldn’t hold the teapot, see, he has a good eye.

Pan Zhoucong was equally excited; being in the resale business, if he has a large cooperative partner holding various needed resources, it saves him a lot of time and effort compared to sending his subordinates to gather scattered purchases. Normally he’d turn things around once a month, but with her, he can do so every few days to a week, greatly enhancing efficiency and earnings, surely several times what he’d make before.

Of course, Pan Zhoucong is a leader here; he won’t easily reveal his real thoughts in front of others.

"Cough, cough... Did you say there are a thousand chickens and rabbits?" Finally, some meat, they hadn’t gotten any in three months.

"Yes!" As if casually drinking water.

"Cough, cough, rest assured, I will definitely offer Mr. Jiang the most reasonable price. Qiangzi, take notes, Mr. Jiang, all you reported I want, regarding the price..."

The two quickly settled on a price, agreeing to deliver in an hour.

Before leaving, Jiang Mingyue asked Pan Zhoucong for seeds, aware that he often receives various seeds.

Pan Zhoucong readily agreed to gather them for her.

This cooperation was highly satisfying for Jiang Mingyue; Pan Zhoucong not only offered fair prices but showed discretion, never asking questions despite his curiosity, and managed his subordinates well, with none showing her any disrespect.

Jiang Mingyue found this cooperative partner pleasant; barring unexpected events, she would continue working with him.

Leaving the black market, Jiang Mingyue went to an abandoned courtyard previously probed with spiritual power, near the city edge, not far from the black market, importantly surrounded by no households, convenient for her activities.

Using spiritual power, she unlocked and entered, removing cobwebs as she entered the spacious courtyard, perfect for stacking grain. Closing the door, she immediately transferred all the agreed quantities out from her space.

In an instant, the courtyard was filled with piles of grain.

At the agreed time, Du Shouqiang brought people to knock on the door.

Though curious why Mr. Jiang lived in such a desolate place, Du Shouqiang didn’t ask, directing his brothers to weigh the grain.

After the final bag was weighed, Du Shouqiang recalculated the total amount and closed the ledger.

"Great, it matches perfectly. As per our agreed price, the total grain is four thousand two hundred ten, plus six thousand for the chicken and rabbit, totaling ten thousand two hundred ten, Mr. Jiang, please count, and let me know of any discrepancies." Saying this, Du Shouqiang handed over a weighted basket.
