PFC Chapter 157 How Much Do You Have?
Chapter 157 How Much Do You Have?
Although I was no longer afraid, I was still tense.
"What's the matter?"
"Don't get me wrong, we just got some good stuff here, and we wanted to ask if you want any."
Gu Wan pursed her lips, trying to figure out whether his words were true or not.
I took a look around here and bought quite a few small things, but I was out of food and meat, so I really needed to replenish them.
But she didn't know, does the person in charge of this black market still need to attract customers to sell things?
"Don't worry, we do business on the same street and we won't do anything to you. It's just that we have a lot of goods recently and I saw that you wanted to find food, so I stopped you to ask." He said with a smile.
If his boss hadn't asked him to stop the man, he would have left long ago if the other party hadn't looked at him with suspicion.
"Then you lead the way!"
Xu Wenyin had said before that the manager of this street was indeed fair and would not do anything rash, otherwise Xu Wenyin, who lived in the city, would always run to this county.
After hearing her agreement, the man hurriedly led the way.
After turning around a lot, he entered a house. "Girl, please sit here and wait for a while. I'll go call someone over. Don't wander around, okay?"
"I see."
The man nodded and left through another door.
Gu Wan looked around the room. It was a very ordinary room with only a large window on the wall directly in front of the entrance.
Gu Wan walked to the window and stood still, and discovered that the house was actually at the corner of the street.
Because the house is located on the second floor, you can have a direct view of the entire street.
No wonder I noticed that she was always looking for food.
Because she was the only one at home, she was not used to eating sweet potato rice. Not only did it make her bloated, but it also caused pain in her cheeks.
Thinking that there was only one person in the family and he had money, he didn't want to treat himself badly and wanted to come and see if there was any food.
As a result, I walked around for a long time but didn't see any place selling food.
She didn't know that food was already scarce, and it was already July, with another month or so before the new rice was harvested.
Last year’s old grain has almost been eaten up by now. Who would want to sell grain at this time?
When Qian Wenhua came in, he saw Gu Wan looking out the window, wondering what she was thinking about.
He coughed lightly, which attracted the other person's attention.
"Hello, I'm Qian Wenhua,"
Gu Wan turned around and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, about the same age as her father, standing in front of her.
"Hello." Gu Wan frowned.
It’s just selling some food, why does the boss of the black market show up?
Qian Wenhua nodded, pointed at the armchair, and motioned for her to sit down. The person who had led her there hurriedly brought her tea.
"I'm sorry, I'll just get straight to the point after asking you to come over." Gu Wan nodded, and he continued:
"It's like this. I recently received a batch of rice from the north. The price was not low, but few people bought it. I was anxious to sell it, so I asked my subordinates to help call you."
Gu Wan nodded and understood why he called her.
It’s no wonder that in this era of food scarcity, buying is greater than selling, and generally, there is no difficulty in selling food.
But Qian Wenhua said that he collected a lot, and I'm afraid that much is not just an ordinary amount.
In another month, the new rice will be harvested. If this batch of rice is not sold now, it will probably be even more difficult to sell later.
If the food is piled up for too long, it will become infested with food, so people will be anxious to actively look for customers here.
"How much do you have?" Gu Wan asked straight to the point.
Qian Wenhua didn't need to worry about the problem at all, because he had the space, so he didn't have to worry about rice weeds no matter how long he kept it.
And I can save myself from having to go to the county town all the time.
Qian Wenhua was stunned. Although he could tell from these two observations that Gu Wan was not short of money, he did not expect the other party to ask this question.
But since someone asked, I must answer.
"There are probably a few thousand kilograms left."
"That's a bit too much." Gu Wan looked thoughtful.
I can only eat half a pound of rice a day, right? That's if I only eat rice without mixing anything else in.
If it weighs several thousand kilograms, it will take you a long time to eat it all.
But people of this era not only need tickets to buy food, but there is also a quota. If you don't buy more this time, and there isn't enough to eat in the future, then when you want to buy more, the amount of rice you can buy will probably be limited.
Moreover, the reason why Gu Wan was most excited was.
For someone who has just experienced an epidemic, the instinctive thing is to stock up more food.
Qian Wenhua saw her lowering her head in thought, and he was a little unsure what she meant.
Several thousand kilograms is indeed a lot, which is equivalent to the total grain production of the two villages at present.
The grain yield at this time is not high, especially here. Even if we plant two crops a year, we can only harvest a few thousand kilograms at a time.
This is still considered good, otherwise rice would not have to be mixed with sweet potatoes.
"It depends on how much you want. If you want to buy, you can pay the same price as the supply and marketing cooperative. No tickets are required."
That is considered very cheap. After all, even if tickets are required on the black market, the price will definitely be more expensive than that at the supply and marketing cooperative.
What’s more, since it doesn’t require tickets, Gu Wan was even more tempted.
"If you want more, can it be cheaper?" The current price of rice in the supply and marketing cooperative is 45 cents per pound.
The price of rice is different in every place. The rice production here is low, so the price is high, almost the same as the price of meat.
"How much do you want?"
Qian Wenhua looked at her with a smile. In fact, this was not expensive. If the other party asked for less, he would probably drive her out.
Gu Wan glanced at him and could see that the other party was unlikely to compromise on the price.
Although rice is cheaper in the north, it must cost a lot to transport it here, so the price goes up.
If it were any lower, he probably wouldn't earn much.
Gu Wan pursed her lips. As for the rice, she really didn’t want to give up. But as a girl, what excuse could she use to get these things?
"To tell you the truth, I can eat all the rice you have." Having said this, Gu Wan deliberately paused and looked at Qian Wenhua opposite her, waiting for him to express his opinion.
Qian Wenhua was shocked. He looked at Gu Wan sharply to confirm the truth of her words.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that Gu Wan had the spending power and the good food, I wouldn’t have invited her over.
I originally thought that if Gu Wan could buy one or two hundred kilograms, it would be faster than selling them individually.
However, he didn't expect that Gu Wan would bargain with him as soon as she arrived, and even said shamelessly that she wanted to take everything.
Although he could digest those thousands of kilograms of rice, it would take a lot of time and manpower.
