Chapter 19 Black Market Vendors
After leaving the noodle stall, Bai Taotao began to wander around the street again.

Of course, she wasn't just looking for those people. By the way, she was also looking to see if there were any other ways to make money.

Now that she has no connections or capital, she can only make a fortune slowly from a small business.

When I have money in the future, I will buy a shop and start a business.

At this time, the streets in the county were still very spacious. In addition to a very spacious road, there were also wide spaces on both sides for people to set up street stalls and do some small businesses.

The stalls on both sides are no worse than modern street stalls.

There are a lot of things for sale, and the streets are lively with people coming and going.

Looking at these street stalls, Baitaotao thought that maybe she could also try setting up a street stall. Anyway, she should make the first pot of gold first, right?
Just when she was about to find someone to ask about the rent collection method at this street stall, she spotted the man who had been dealing with the noodle stall owner that day in the alley next door.

Still in the same disguise, this time the other party's target is the bun shop on another street.

While they were still trading, Bai Taotao found a deserted alley and walked in. After looking around for no one, he ducked into the trading mall, bought a set of clothes belonging to the old man, put them on, and disguised himself. Then he came out of the trading mall and headed towards the alley over the bun shop.

After the man finished the deal with the bun shop owner, Bai Taotao stopped him halfway.

In order to prevent the other party from resisting, she was still pregnant. The first time Bai Taotao stopped the other party, she immediately stated her intention: "I want to do business with you, I have no other intention."

Of course, her voice was also disguised with a voice changer.

The man could see that Bai Taotao's outfit had also been from Qiao Village, so he asked warily: "What kind of deal?"

Bai Taotao: "Can you take charge?"

"It's up to you whether you can do it or not. Let's talk about it first."

"What kind of business you are doing now, I will discuss the business with you."

"You also want to buy cheap food? You shouldn't. Judging from your outfit, you don't think you are short of money. Why do you want to buy food on the black market?"

"I didn't say I wanted to buy food."

When the man heard this, he was obviously shocked, "You want to sell food?"

Bai Taotao nodded: "If this deal can be negotiated, maybe we can have a long-term cooperation."

"how much do you have?"

"How much can you eat? Ten thousand a month? Fifty thousand?"

"Then you underestimate us too much. One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand a month is not a problem. The people's harvest is not good this year, so this is still relatively small."

Bai Taotao was quite surprised when she heard this, then nodded and said, "Then find someone who can make the decision and talk to me in detail."

The man thought for a while and said, "Then you come with me."

After saying that, the man led Bai Taotao up and down the alley, and finally came to a very secluded courtyard.

After stopping in front of the small courtyard, the man did not forget to look around vigilantly. After making sure there was nothing unusual, he raised his hand and knocked on the door rhythmically.

The person who opened the door was an old man about fifty years old, with a long beard on his chin.

As soon as the door opened, the man looked at Bai Taotao and said, "Come in."

Bai Taotao and the man entered the courtyard together. There were several sellers dressed like the man in the courtyard.

When those people saw a stranger coming, they all looked at Bai Taotao with curiosity and confusion.

Bai Taotao calmly went to the main hall with the man who led her over.

After bringing Bai Taotao to the main hall, the man said again: "Master, please wait for a moment." After saying that, the man turned and left.

Not long after, a man in his thirties walked into the main hall.

Bai Taotao took a look and saw that this was not shopkeeper Fan from Fan Ji Grain Shop in the county?
Looking at Shopkeeper Fan, Bai Taotao thought about it and realized that there was nothing to be curious about. Who said that people who opened a grain store couldn't have other side jobs?

I wonder if she has multiple identities in this world!

Shopkeeper Fan saw that Bai Taotao recognized him, and he did not shy away. Instead, he smiled and said: "I just heard someone reported that this gentleman wants to negotiate a deal with us? How much goods does this gentleman have? "

Bai Taotao was not in a hurry to report the quantity, but asked: "At what price did you buy it?"

Shopkeeper Fan: "One thousand catties of old grain is one tael of silver; one thousand catties of coarse grain is two taels of silver; one thousand catties of fine grain is four taels of silver; the price of refined grain is relatively high at 13 taels of silver per one thousand catty."

After hearing this, Baitaotao thought it was reasonable considering the current food prices.

If she doesn't have the old grain, she doesn't have to worry about it. She can make a difference of one tael of silver on the coarse grain, and the price difference she can make on the black market should also be one to two taels.

She earns a price difference of two taels for fine grains and eight taels for refined grains.

Bai Taotao thought about it in her mind and said, "I can make about 20 kilograms a month here. I wonder if you can afford it?"

Shopkeeper Fan smiled when he heard this and said: "It's only 20 catties, of course it's no problem. Are you planning to deliver it in one go?"

Bai Taotao: "The large one-time delivery is too eye-catching. Let's divide it into batches. Let's try trading 20,000 kilograms of coarse grains for the time being. Tonight at 4:00 a.m., you can send someone to the small temple ten miles outside the city to pick up the goods. .”

When he heard this number, Shopkeeper Fan didn't find it too small. Instead, he just thought that Bai Taotao was testing their abilities. However, after thinking about it, he still asked: "I wonder if the master can help get some refined grains this time? "

Hearing this, Bai Taotao thought for a moment and said, "We can't do it today, let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, at the same time and at the same place, I will prepare 10,000 kilograms of refined grain for you."

Shopkeeper Fan was very happy when he heard that there were 10,000 kilograms of fine grain.

And this is just the beginning. After a long period of cooperation, there should be a lot of good products.

After agreeing on the time, Bai Taotao was sent back to the street by the man just now.

Although it was a man who brought her out, Bai Taotao had already memorized the location of the yard.

However, they are all engaged in the business of paying one hand and delivering the goods, so their den is of no use to Bai Taotao.

What's more, the nest can be replaced at any time.

Walking on the road, Bai Taotao thought that now she had finally settled the food business. As long as nothing unexpected happened there, she would have a stable income from now on.

Today's harvest is pretty good, the braised food has been sold, and the food issue has been finalized.

Look at the time, it’s still very early now, so I can have lunch at home by taking a bullock cart and make braised meat in the afternoon. It’s just in time to rent a bullock cart and go out when the sun goes down.

With such a plan, Bai Taotao found a deserted alley to change into her own clothes, then went to the market to collect pig waste, then secretly put the pig waste into the storage space, and then went to the market. Walk to the small noodle stall.

When they arrived at the small noodle stall, Bai Taotao saw several customers buying braised food to take home to eat.

Seeing that business was good, she knew that these goods would not be enough to sell today.

When Boss Zhu saw Bai Taotao coming, he immediately said happily: "Madam Chen, can you bring more braised food tomorrow? I didn't expect that today's braised food will be sold out in the morning. I will trouble you to make more tomorrow." .”

Bai Taotao looked at the two empty braised food buckets and said with a smile: "No problem, I'll just bring more tomorrow. But it's too much, and it would be too troublesome for us to calculate it by bowl. From tomorrow on, we'll just weigh it. After all, it just so happens that your bowl is almost a pound."

Boss Zhu looked at his bowl, thought about it, nodded, and said, "Sure, no problem."

Then Bai Taotao took his two big wooden barrels and returned to the village first.
