Hearing that she wanted to rent for a month, the other party stated the pre-decided price: "Thirty bucks."
Gu Jin nodded: "Alright, I’ll give you five more. You find soone to clean up the place today. I plan to move so stuff in tomorrow."
"No problem!"
The other party was surprised at how straightforward and decisive Gu Jin was, and his face lit up with a smile.
Gu Jin handed over thirty-five bucks, took the key, and left with the kid.
This ti she headed to the black market.
...
"Brother Quan, the past couple of days fewer people have been coming to the black market, and there have been several brawls over prices."
Liu Quan, sitting in a lounge chair in the main house, also felt a headache upon hearing Dali’s words.
The world was a bit chaotic, and he was helpless.
"What’s being sold on the street these days?"
Dali thought for a mont: "Rice, flour, eggs, and so odds and ends, but prices have nearly doubled."
"Are there any sales of wheat, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, or the like?"
After a month of rain, the most lacking now are these staple foods.
The rice and flour on the black market now are scarce and of poor quality.
"None, the heavy rain has flooded all the crops. There won’t be wheat or corn for the entire next year. Even if potatoes are planted after the rainy season stops, they’ll take months to grow, probably until year-end, and it’s the sa for sweet potatoes."
"Damn it!"
Liu Quan cursed in anger.
Without food, there’s no way for his black market to continue from here.
Eight out of ten stalls on this street are selling food, and based on the current situation, the street will be out of business in less than a month.
Just then, Liu Quan rembered eting Gu Jin a month ago.
Back then, she asked if he was interested in trading grains. Why didn’t he ask more questions? Even a small amount of grains would be good now.
"Bang bang!"
At this mont, the tightly shut door was knocked.
"Who is it!"
The voice ca from Liu Quan, and there was a hint of undisguised rage in it.
Standing outside the door, Gu Jin was taken aback by the anger in his voice, then pursed her lips and smiled.
"It’s , Gu Jin."
A warm voice rang out, mixed with a bit of Spiritual Power, enough for the people inside to hear it.
Recognizing the familiar voice, Liu Quan quickly stood up from his lounge chair and asked Dali beside him, "Did I hear wrong, is this Ms. Gu’s voice?"
Dali nodded naturally: "It is indeed Ms. Gu’s voice."
Just like the saying, speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives.
"What are you waiting for, go open the door!" Liu Quan kicked Dali’s butt.
The latter staggered, nearly falling to the ground.
Hearing Brother Quan’s urgency in his voice, he dared not delay for a mont and ran towards the door, swiftly opening it.
Dali earnestly invited her in: "Ms. Gu, please co in."
Gu Jin nodded at Dali and led the kid into the courtyard.
"What’s happened to Brother Quan? He sounds a bit anxious."
She joked in her speech.
Liu Quan had already co out of the yard, allowing the drizzle to fall on him as he greeted Gu Jin.
"Don’t bring it up, there’ve been too many troubles lately."
Even so, he still wore a smile as he led Gu Jin inside.
"Ms. Gu, please sit, Dali, go to the back and get so drinks."
In his impression, people like Gu Jin and the young boy with her age often liked to drink Jianlibao or Dabaili soda; he rembered so were offered from the back recently.
"Okay!" Dali swiftly went to the back house.
