1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1156 Trading
After leaving the small gate and winding through several turns, we finally arrived at a courtyard.

After the man knocked on the door three times, someone responded, "Coming."

The door opened, and the person inside immediately looked at Chu Xue behind the man, then saw the cloth bag in the man's hand who had led her in: "Come in."

To Chu Xue's surprise, as soon as she stepped into the center of the courtyard, someone attacked her face.

Luckily, the first snow fell quickly enough, otherwise we would have really suffered.

This was something Chu Xue hadn't expected. Even if it was a case of double-crossing, shouldn't she have waited until after the transaction was complete before making her move?

What is the situation now?
Seeing that she had dodged it, the man who had opened the door earlier waved his hand, signaling the person who had attacked earlier to get out: "Sorry, this is the rule when meeting our boss."

Chu Xue, with an attitude of asking questions when she didn't understand, asked, "Could you tell me what this rule is?"

The man's lips twitched. He hadn't expected Chu Xue to ask so directly. He coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, if the item catches our boss's eye, he definitely won't let you suffer any losses."

After Chu Xue said "Oh," she added, "If I hadn't dodged it, I would have been delivered to your doom, is that what you mean?"

The man was genuinely surprised by the girl's persistence. Just as he was about to reply, he heard the eldest brother inside the room say, "Why aren't you inviting her in?"

The man in front of her made a 'please' gesture: "Please."

Chu Xue possesses exceptional skills, which naturally gives her confidence.

However, she did not expect that the so-called black market boss in the room was actually a young man with very handsome features. Chu Xue discovered that this person did not make any disguise, which meant that he had a very powerful background and was not afraid of others discovering his true appearance.

What Chu Xue didn't know was that she had guessed wrong this time.

Gu Zechen had just returned from outside and was injured in the leg. He didn't want his subordinates to know, so he didn't mention it. He usually wore a mask except when meeting a few trusted confidants, but his mask was destroyed during the fight today, so he had to show his true face.

So the man who opened the door didn't let the guy who led the way in, but took the cloth bag from his hand: "Go ahead and do your work, I'll take someone out in a bit."

After sending the man away, he didn't go inside but stood outside the door.

The man inside looked at the cloth bags on the table, opened them one by one, and gasped when he saw what was inside. It was indeed pleasing to his eye: "How much of this quality do you have?" Chu Xue said calmly: "Ten thousand catties of corn kernels, twenty thousand catties of rice, thirty thousand catties of wheat, one thousand catties of dried red dates, and two thousand catties each of pears and apples."

She didn't report other fruits that weren't suitable for this season, after all, she was after money and didn't want to risk it all.

After reporting, he asked, "How is it? Can you eat it?"

The man was surprised that she gave such a large quantity: "Are they all of this quality?"

First Snow nodded: "Yes."

The man unconsciously swallowed: "When can we receive the goods?"

Chu Xue then laughed: "We haven't even agreed on a price, and you're already asking me when you can get the goods? Don't you think that's a bit too hasty?"

"I'm sorry, I was too hasty. I believe you've already inquired about the price. I won't beat around the bush, your stuff is indeed better than what we've bought before, but since your grain hasn't been ground into flour, the price naturally can't be compared to finished grain."

“I know that. Just give me a fair price. If it’s right, then let’s work together. If not, just pretend I didn’t come here.”

The man was naturally not going to let this opportunity slip by. The black market could only grow and thrive if it had a reliable source of goods. Since the opportunity had come knocking, he had to take it: "The government purchase price for corn this year is 9.6 cents per pound. The quality of the corn you delivered is excellent, with plump kernels. I'll give you 25 cents per pound. The government purchase price for rice is 16 cents per pound, and I'll also charge you 35 cents. Wheat is scarce in the south, so I can buy it for 40 cents. What do you think of these prices?"

The price was reasonable, considering that the black market needs to make money, so he nodded in agreement.

As for the dates, apples, and pears, the prices weren't low either, since they were all good quality items. And I don't know how they were stored, but they were incredibly fresh. The dates and pears were fine, since they were grown here, but these apples were extremely rare, not to mention their excellent quality. They were exactly what he needed, so they were a great help to him.

The man was quite agreeable, and Chuxue was satisfied with the price he offered.

However, Chu Xue's next words surprised the man even more: "Our boss likes to collect old items. If possible, we'll settle accounts with old items. But let me make this clear: don't try to fool people with inferior products, or don't blame our boss for turning against you. After all, you're in the open while he's in the dark."

The man was very perceptive: "To have been in this business for so long, I naturally rely on honesty. Let's talk about the location and time of the transaction."

That's what I said, but in my heart I was thinking: This woman doesn't look like an ordinary person, let alone the person behind her.
