Fu Yuling had no intention of making an offer herself. She leisurely looked at the boss and asked, “How much do you think this thing is worth?”
After some hesitation, the boss replied, “You don’t look like a fool. The most I can offer right now is two thousand.”
Then he continued, “You’re definitely losing a lot at two thousand. How about this? From now on, for any medicinal materials you provide in the future, our store will pay double.”
“What do you think, guest?”
Two thousand yuan was already beyond her expectations, but given the situation it seemed like a low price for this item.
Thinking about the boss’s final proposal, she thought it was not bad. Most of the items in her space were medicinal herbs, so it wouldn’t be a bad opportunity to make money from them.
But relying solely on herbs to make money is definitely impossible.
Occasionally finding some herbs on the mountain is considered lucky, but if it happens frequently, that would raise suspicions.
She has no plan to expose herself for now. Since the boss is so sincere, she doesn’t need to hesitate.
“Alright.”
The boss breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the response. Fortunately, the person didn’t ask for an exorbitant price higher than two thousand, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to afford it.
He looked a bit more sincere and he shouted: “Xiao Li, bring the banknotes.”
“Okay, boss!”
The boss couldn’t see Fu Yuling anymore. His eyes were full of the fresh Lingzhi mushroom. He didn’t even dare to touch it and could only observe it from up close.
“Boss, the two thousand yuan is here.”
The boss took it, opened the box, and handed it to Fu Yuling before saying politely, “I don’t even know the guest’s name.”
“Fu Yuling.”
“Miss Fu, please count it. If there are no issues, I’ll take the item.”
Fu Yuling counted the money, and the boss immediately disappeared.
This operation makes her laugh. Isn’t it just a Lingzhi mushroom!
With money in hand, Fu Yuling naturally felt much lighter, but she still had a headache because she still needed tickets to buy things.
Forget it, let’s find the middleman!
As for how to find one, Fu Yuling gave a dime to a beggar lying on the roadside. The beggar pointed in a direction without even looking at her.
Following the direction, Fu Yuling arrived at a small alley that was damp and dimly lit.
“Cough, cough!”
A cough came from beside her, and it sounded like it was done on purpose.
Fu Yuling glanced over and saw a person leaning against the door.
“Doing business?”
“Yes.”
After receiving her response, the man stepped aside.
“Come in.”
Fu Yuling followed him inside. The man cautiously scanned the surroundings before closing the door.
Seeing that Fu Yuling was a young girl, the man squinted his eyes and asked, “Buying or selling?”
“Buying. Do you have eggs and flour?”
When he heard that it was a big business, the man’s eyes brightened for a moment and then dimmed.
“Yes. Eggs are two cents each, flour is one cent per catty10.6 kg. How much do you want?”
These prices are obviously higher than the market, but since it is an underground transaction, it’s already good to be able to buy them.
Fu Yuling now has a bulging pocket and doesn’t mind saying goodbye to the extra money.
“Thirty eggs, you can give them to me now.”
Suddenly, she thought about rice and looked at him. “If I buy more, can you deliver it?”
He didn’t expect her to say that. After thinking for a moment, the young man asked, “How much do you want?”
Fu Yuling stated her needs. “Five catties of flour, five catties of polished rice, and two young chickens.”
The young man took out a notebook and a pen and started jotting down the information.
“Thirty eggs, 60 cents. Five catties of flour, 50 cents. Polished rice is 50 cents per catty, so it would be 2.5 dollars. Two young chickens, 8 cents for piece and 16 cents for two. In total, it’s 3.76 dollars2There are 100 cents in one dollar. Also, dollar is the same as yuan in this novel since the raws both give this translation. So the 2000 yuan just now is equals to 2000 dollars..”
Fu Yuling took out a five-yuan note from the money given to her by the medicinal clinic owner and handed it to him, then took the change.
“Leave me your address, and it will be delivered before tonight.”
