Chapter 235: Buying and Selling Food

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“We’ll also get the money ready,” Shopkeeper Pan responded.

Was he thinking of ways to snatch the goods?

That thought was non-existent. The total cost of this batch of goods was only no taels of silver.

To ordinary people, it might be a huge sum of money.

However, it was nothing to him.

At the moment, food was more important than money to him.

There was no need to take the risk of using violence if matters could be resolved peacefully.

…..

After all, with his years of experience in judging people, this Madam Qin was not as simple as she appeared.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction.

After Qin Xiaoyao came to an agreement with Shopkeeper Pan, Deputy Shopkeeper Wei saw her off at the entrance.

Back at the Song family, Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu had already arrived and were busy in the courtyard.

Qin Xiaoyao did not rush to help them. Instead, she went back to her room to update Song Que on the deal.

After the couple talked for a while, Qin Xiaoyao then left the house to deliver the goods to Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant.

After that, when she was done with the deliveries, she returned home to help.

Qin Xiaoyao waited until Qin Dazhuang arrived before she told him that she needed the three of them to help her deliver the goods.

“What? You only sold them for 25 copper coins per catty? The lowest price in the grain stores today is 30 copper coins!” Qin Dazhuang immediately said after listening to his daughter.

Although he didn’t go to the grain store to buy food, he could hear a lot of news from his stall in the market on West Street. In particular, the most talked about topic on everyone’s lips was the grain price.

Now that the government office had closed the town gates, the price of grain would obviously rise further.

It was not worth it for his daughter to sell the grain now.

Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu also looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

“I’m afraid the price of grain will still increase. If you don’t lack money, you should wait,” Qin Dahu chimed in.

“Big Brother is right!” Qin Erhu nodded as well.

However, Qin Xiaoyao simply laughed.

“How can I go back on my promise?”

“Besides, compared to the price I bought the grain at, I’ve already earned several times more by selling it at this price!

“One must know when to be content.”

The trio of father and sons looked at each other.

In the end, Qin Dazhuang nodded.

“Alright then. Tonight, well go with you to deliver the grain,” he said.

It was good that his daughter could think this way.

In reality, there was a hidden danger when she hoarded so much grain.

It was good to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of some goods.

“Thank you, Father and Brothers!” Qin Xiaoyao quickly thanked the trio.

The trio of father and sons laughed, their eyes filled with doting love for Qin Xiaoyao.

The day passed quickly, and night soon came.

Before long, it was late at night.

The Qin family’s father and sons arrived early.

Following that, the four of them cleared out the storage room for a while and only left the house after 11 pm.

Along the way, other than some barking and a few beggars who lived on the streets, it was very quiet.

In Qin Xiaoyao’s group of four, three were strong and muscular men. They looked very intimidating, so naturally, no beggar dared to stop them.

After a while, the four of them arrived at Link Trading with four handcarts.

At the entrance of Link Trading grain store, Shopkeeper Pan and Deputy Shopkeeper Wei were already waiting with a few guards.

When they saw Qin Xiaoyao and the others, the two of them were overjoyed.

One party proceeded to check the goods while the other party counted the money.

After making sure that everything was in order, Qin Xiaoyao took half of the money.

“Where do you want us to unload these goods? After we unload them, we’ll go back and send the rest of the goods over,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

Deputy Shopkeeper Wei immediately looked at Shopkeeper Pan.

Shopkeeper Pan stroked his beard a few times.

“Let’s unload them here.” After saying that, he gestured with both hands to the front.

Immediately, the guards got busy.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xiaoyao and her posse were happy to have people help them, so they didn’t do anything.

After all the goods were unloaded, Qin Xiaoyao and company pushed the handcarts away.

Only after they had walked far away and made sure that Shopkeeper Pan and the others had not followed them did the Qin family’s father and sons trio relax a little.

“Those people that Shopkeeper Pan brought with him aren’t decent characters,” Qin Dazhuang said suddenly.

He noticed that the guard in the lead had a hideous scar on his arm, and his lower body was very stable. One look and he could tell that he was a martial arts practitioner.

Moreover, the other three guards did not appear to be ordinary people.

When Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu heard this, they felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

“We have to be careful when we deliver the goods again later,” Qin Dahu warned.

The corners of Qin Xiaoyao’s mouth curled up.

Mm-hmm!

“We must always be on our guard against others.”

“But we don’t have to be too nervous either. I’ve already collected half of the money, and the remaining half is only 55 taels of silver. There’s no need for them to risk their lives for that little money.”

After all, even though her martial strength didn’t seem obvious, her father and two brothers still looked very intimidating.

Qin Dazhuang nodded in agreement with his daughter.

“Just be alert, that’s all,” he said.

Soon, the group of people returned to the Song family’s residence.

Qin Xiaoyao returned to her room and gave the 55 taels of silver to Song Que, entreating him to keep it safe.

When she saw her husband’s worried gaze, Qin Xiaoyao leaned forward and planted a kiss on his forehead.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be back after I deliver the last batch of goods.”

“Give me another half an hour at most.

Initially, she had wanted to let her husband sleep first.

However, she guessed that he wouldn’t be able to sleep at this time anyway, so she might as well ask him to wait for her.

“You, Father-in-law and the rest, be more careful,” Song Que replied.

“We will!” Qin Xiaoyao answered with a smile.

Only then did she leave.

In the storage room, the Qin family’s father and sons had already loaded the second batch of grains onto the handcarts.

…..

The four of them quickly set off again.

They walked out of the dark alley and entered the main street.

Before long, they arrived at Link Trading grain store again.

Then, just like before, one side checked the goods and the other collected the money.

“The goods are all here. Thank you so much, Madam Qin!” Shopkeeper Pan gave the rest of the silver, along with the money box, to Qin Xiaoyao.

He cupped his hands in thanks at Qin Xiaoyao.

“Shopkeeper Pan, you are too polite. The goods and money are all in order. We have both benefited from this.”

Shopkeeper Pan’s expression froze momentarily.

“Hahahaha…” Then, he laughed out loud.

“What Madam Qin said is very reasonable.”

“It’s so efficacious to do business with Madam Qin!”

Suddenly, Shopkeeper Pan’s eyes flickered again.

“Madam Qin, in the future, if you still have any more surplus grain you want to deal with…”

Qin Xiaoyao immediately looked at Shopkeeper Pan.

“How can there be any more surplus grain? I didn’t report this batch of goods to the higher-ups. That’s why I can obtain this bargain.”

II

Regarding this matter, I hope Shopkeeper Pan and Deputy Shopkeeper Wei can keep it a secret and not reveal it to the outside world.” As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes revealed a pleading look.

Shopkeeper Pan’s expression froze momentarily.

Then, he quickly smiled.

“Oh, yes, yes. Don’t worry, Madam Qin.”

So it was someone from above who had secretly confiscated the grain?

At this point, he could understand why she had bought so much grain previously.

Now, they were selling it at a low price and offloading so much food to their store.

They had something to hide. Hehe! That was a good thing.

This way, both parties would not have to worry about the other side leaking the secret.

At that thought, Shopkeeper Pan’s gaze toward Qin Xiaoyao became increasingly more friendly.

“Then in the future, I hope that Madam Qin will continue to patronize our Link Trading!” he said.

This person, or rather, the person behind her, was indeed a big client of Link Trading..
