BXBX NOVEL Chapter 539 - Huge Profits (4)
Since they decided to sell large quantities of goods, they required many cloth bags.
Cloth bags or sacks were mainly used in this era. Every time Gu Qingyao bartered in the black market, she mostly used plain-looking cloth bags which she sewed by herself.
It was the same this time as well. Mo Beihan was unpacking the goods and classifying them by weight while Gu Qingyao was making cloth bags by the sewing machine.
After several hours of work, all the resources were separated and packed.
The next day, the pair visited various black markets and changed their disguise successively. They switched between working together and individually, but most of the time, Mo Beihan did not allow Gu Qingyao to leave his sight.
The day was spent in the black market while the night, sorting resources.
Nancheng had a large population, so there was relatively a large demand. Course and fine grains, such as rice, flour, cornflour, beans, sorghum flour, and dried sweet potatoes, were traded away successively.
Plenty of the sweet potatoes that were stored in the interspace for a long time were also sold.
There was a large demand for pork, pork ribs, chicken, duck and whatnot. Her interspace still had a large storage of seafood, of which she had not really touched since she was reborn. This time, she finally could use it in the market.
Her interspace still had another item in large quantity – fruits. She had plenty of common fruits like apples, pears, bananas, oranges, grapes and peaches.
Aside from those, melons, including watermelon and honeydew, were piled up as well. It was a pity that the Nancheng market was ultimately still too small for her.
The other category of items in large quantities was vegetables which were extremely low-priced when she collected them. Using the winter melon as an example, the year that she obtained them from the farmers happened to be an unfortunate time as many farmers in that area planted winter melon as well, and the heavy rain would cause the unsold harvests to rot in the field.
When Mo Beihan learned of this news, he quickly brought her over, and she bought all the winter melons in one shot. The farmers were ecstatic, and instead of requiring her to hire her own labor, they brought their family to the field to harvest the winter melons before delivering them to the destination of her lorry.
Being able to sell away such large-sized crops at once was the best to farmers and thus they loved bulk buyers like her.
With the crops costing around a few yuans for a kilogram, she collected a large amount of them.
The cabbages, potatoes and carrots in her interspace were more or less obtained in a similar fashion. It could not be helped. With the interspace at hand, she could ensure the freshness of the crops and even did not need to pay for the transport fee. She could act as she wanted!
Even with many restaurants and supermarkets under her name, their sales never caught up with the rate of collecting the crops, thus her interspace still had plenty of resources at this moment…
These items were not considered rare as many families stored carrots and cabbages for winter, and many people from the countryside would plant these since they could be mass-produced and fill their tummy!
Nevertheless, there were still many starving people in this era, thus Gu Qingyao decided to sell these items at a low price as an act of compassion. After all, they were food and could help those in poverty to live on.
After working continuously for a month, Mo Beihan had brought Gu Qingyao to all the black markets in Nancheng and even to those in the surrounding cities.
Gu Qingyao laid on the bed like a corpse.
“Ah… I already worked so hard but only sold such little items. Ahhhh, life is too difficult for me!”
Can it not be difficult?
After working so long without resting, she only had several thousands worth of resources which was too little compared to the total amount of resources in the interspace!
