CHAPTER 86: CHAPTER 86: THAT WOMAN ISN’T TRYING TO FOOL US, RIGHT?

Xinyan noticed that Brother Biao was straightforward in his dealings and sensed no malice from him, so she nodded at him, "Definitely."

After this, the man left. The place and time for the delivery were directly confirmed by Xinyan with the little leader, and she asked him for ten burlap sacks.

She had bought some sacks before, but not enough: "So let’s say it’s settled. When you come over, bring twenty more sacks. By the way, I want new sacks, don’t try to fool me. Otherwise, if there are good goods next time, I surely won’t look for you guys again."

The little leader was amused by Xinyan and gave her a thumbs-up.

He still hadn’t figured out why Brother Biao was willing to pay her the fine grain price, but since Brother Biao said so, there had to be a reason. This woman really knew how to push her luck.

He then murmured a few words to the person beside him.

After a while, that person returned with a basket, "The sacks are all in here, it’s more convenient to carry a basket."

Xinyan thanked him and left with the basket on her back.

The person who took the basket looked at the little leader, "Brother Gu Zi, should we follow her?"

The man called Gu Zi shook his head, "No need, the black market has its rules, we can’t break them just because she’s a woman."

After saying this, he pushed the door open and went through the back door to another yard, "Brother Biao."

Brother Biao was sitting there, carving something, "Gone?"

Gu Zi sat down, "Gone, the woman also said she wanted thirty new sacks, and warned me to make sure they’re new. If I deceive her, she’ll avoid us next time when there’s good stuff."

Brother Biao’s lips curled into a smile, "Then do as she says."

Gu Zi was a bit confused, "Brother Biao, do you know her?"

Brother Biao put down the carving knife in his hand and picked up the tea on the table for a sip, "No, I don’t."

He pointed at the table, at the rice and wheat grains he brought back, "Take a good look yourself."

Gu Zi looked puzzled at the rice and wheat grains on the table, picked a few grains in his palm, and when he pressed them open, his eyes brightened up, and he said somewhat excitedly, "It’s really good stuff, I wonder where she got it from?"

Suddenly thinking of something, "Brother Biao, is that woman trying to fool us?"

Brother Biao snorted softly and continued carving, "She wouldn’t dare."

Gu Zi knew Brother Biao had seen countless people and wouldn’t misjudge, he smiled and looked at the things in his hand, "If they’re all of this quality, they could certainly fetch a good price and bring considerable benefits."

For the transaction location, Xinyan had already decided, near the bus stop for returning to the Mechanical Factory, there’s a forest. The forest allows free passage towards the city, but towards the mechanical factory bus stop, there’s a bridge that people can climb over, but it’s impassable for bicycles or other vehicles.

They would certainly not come to the mechanical factory direction for pickup. After completing the transaction and leaving, she would take a turn and cross the bridge just in time to catch the last bus back to the Mechanical Factory.

As Xinyan left the black market, she circled around a few times, and seeing no one following, she then stored all the sacks back in the space, didn’t remove her makeup, and went straight to the department store.

The fabric coupons He Jinxuan gave were quite a lot, perhaps exchanged with someone or saved up.

She first pulled fabric for Ye Silai and Ye Siyan to make single clothing, then pulled fabric for them to make short-sleeved shorts, and only then pulled fabric to make a single outfit for herself. Seeing there were still leftover coupons, but not enough for a full set, she then pulled fabric to make short sleeves for He Jinxuan.

No processing fees charged, considering it as returning the fabric coupons he used to buy fabric.
