Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 382: They’ll Take as Much Good Stuff as We Have

"After we finish selling the oil, we’ll keep these barrels. They’ve already been cleaned for you. This stuff is still five bucks each; that’s quite a bit for so many," Wang Fanggang said as he placed everything in front of Qin Kaize.

"Count it and see if there’s a mistake with the money."

"Then you should take a look at the fruit; it’s definitely fresh and can last a few days without issue," Qin Kaize replied, unfolding the newspaper wrapping the cash and checking the bundles quickly.

His speed was swift, and Wang Fanggang had quite a few people with him.

After confirming everything was in order, Wang Fanggang smiled and asked, "Do you still have oil?"

"None left," Qin Kaize decisively declined.

Wang Fanggang hurriedly said, "I know you think the price we offered is low. How about this: I’ll buy oil from you at three bucks seventy a pound, and I’ll take as much as you have."

Qin Kaize looked at him and was about to refuse when Wang Fanggang quickly added, "We can also take an additional five thousand pounds of each type of fruit."

"You’ve already taken three thousand pounds of each; aren’t you worried it might spoil?" Qin Kaize teased with a hint of a smile.

"If you deliver to me by noon tomorrow, it might be a bit difficult. But I just checked; these fruits are really fresh. We can distribute them to various vendors tonight, sell for a day tomorrow, and another day the day after—there probably won’t be enough. If you’re willing, you could send me another batch the night after tomorrow, five thousand pounds of each."

"What if you don’t have oil?" Qin Kaize asked.

Wang Fanggang displayed a look of regret upon hearing this emphasis but quickly composed himself.

"Even without oil, we still want the fruit; we’ll take five thousand pounds of each as well. Your fruits are very complete and especially delicious. After selling last time, customers asked us many times, but unfortunately, we couldn’t get in touch with you," Wang Fanggang lamented.

They were also quite curious about where all this fruit came from, but no matter how they thought about it, they couldn’t figure it out.

However, it definitely wasn’t falling from the sky; as long as there was money to be made, Wang Fanggang dropped the line of inquiry.

"If we have goods, we’ll come looking for you. If not, then it means we have none," Qin Kaize didn’t outright dismiss the idea.

After all, three bucks seventy a pound was already a good price.

"Alright, it’s settled then," Wang Fanggang quickly agreed, sensing the deal was likely.

Not waiting for Qin Kaize and Su Yijia to say anything, he led his people to load the fruit onto the carts and left with dozens of carts.

Qin Kaize watched them from the second floor of the factory until they were far away, then he and Su Yijia entered the storage space.

He took out everything they needed to give to Wang Fanggang the night after tomorrow and placed it in the second row.

Looking at the hundreds of oil barrels, Qin Kaize ultimately left the decision to Su Yijia.

"What do you think? Should we sell oil to them?"

"Sure, we might as well, since the price is the same as what we get from Hu City. Besides, if we don’t sell, we won’t have enough plastic barrels," Su Yijia replied, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Although Qin Kaize’s friend had already helped her buy a lot of oil barrels, due to the size of their space, they could only collect two hundred and ten pounds of soybeans a day, refining it into about one hundred five pounds of oil daily.

But the market in Hu City had all been given to Gao Huabin and Zhu Zirui.

While she didn’t know how they were splitting it now, Zhu Zirui wouldn’t be the one handling it, so it had nothing to do with him.

On her side, she needed to fill two and a half barrels of oil a day; over fifty-five days, they had filled one hundred thirty-eight barrels in total.

Now only a little over ten remained, but luckily they had just received some more, so they could hold out a bit longer.

"Alright, we’ll clear it all out for him the night after tomorrow," Qin Kaize said, not concerned whether shipping out so much might raise suspicions.

In fact, if black market folks were confused about their source of goods, that would be quite strange.

But their profession made them accustomed to simply receiving goods without questioning their origins.

And after selling today, they could at most sell again the night before leaving.

If they really couldn’t manage sales here, they would just have to wait until the end of the year to come back.

Even if they didn’t return by then, they had the Whitening Lotion and Hair Growth Solution being shipped out twice a month from both sides, which was completely insufficient.

Both sides likely found new sales channels in other cities.

"Let’s head back; we’ve made quite a bit today," Su Yijia said, placing the money earned today into a special box for cash.

Combined, the Whitening Lotion and Hair Growth Solution brought in a hundred thousand every half month, totaling two hundred thousand a month.

As for the expenses for these two businesses, they were under a thousand dollars a month since they had the storage space.

They had already saved over six hundred thousand, and they had collected enough antiques to fill half a room.

There were also about twenty national treasure-level artifacts.

Qin Kaize had someone build her a display shelf, which was well organized and placed in a separate room.

After tidying up, it was already eleven-thirty. Confirming that no one was lurking outside, Qin Kaize and Su Yijia returned to the small building.

However, when they got home, Zhu Zirui still hadn’t returned.

Su Yijia never expected that running an accessory factory could be so busy.

Fortunately, Zhu Zirui was enjoying himself; his salary had already risen to one hundred fifty, with bonuses reaching fifty.

After resting a night in the small building, the next morning, Qin Kaize and Su Yijia took out a lot of fresh seafood from their storage.

They left some for Zhu Zirui and went back to cook several dishes.

They divided half for themselves and saved the rest to bring to the Li family that evening.

Seafood wasn’t worth much here, so it was likely that the Li family wouldn’t prepare such dishes.

Qin Kaize’s cooking skills were specifically learned from Uncle Lian; Su Yijia liked it, and it wasn’t overly expensive.

This way, they wouldn’t have to worry about when they would finish delivering.

To avoid the families of their team members from asking too many questions,

Qin Kaize and Su Yijia arrived at the Li family’s house an hour early, getting there at four-thirty.

"Miss Su, Commander Qin, you’re here! Have some sunflower seeds and peanuts, would you like soda or malted milk?" Wei Fengli opened the door, greeting them with a big smile.

But upon hearing noise from the neighboring house, she hurriedly welcomed them in and shut the door before the neighbors could inquire.

Then she turned back, smiling apologetically, "Everyone in the family compound has heard about how close our two families have become. They asked us why, and we weren’t sure how to explain, so we’ve just been dodging their questions.

But they probably think Comrade Su arranged a job for Yanyan at the accessory factory; even when we denied it, they didn’t believe us, especially since Yanyan just graduated from high school this year. We mentioned preparing for the National College Entrance Examination, but they still don’t believe it."
