Except for the day she returned from the county city and informed Fang Hong that she could be drawing plans at residence, she requested Fang Hong to not disturb her so long as there was nothing essential.

At the moment, after a number of days, Qin Xue went out and got here to the city to purchase a basket for carrying greens on her again.

She sneaked into an empty alley, went into her area, and took out a couple of kilograms of greens, put them within the basket, coated them with material, after which carried them to the black market.

Upon arriving, she regarded round, requested about costs, and looked for patrons.

The place might she discover a large buyer? Qin Xue questioned as she walked alongside.

“Ah! Sorry.” Qin Xue regarded up and realized she had ran into somebody as a result of she wasn’t watching the place she was going!

Li Zhao noticed that it was a lady who ran into him and apologized promptly.

The woman had an excellent perspective, and after listening to her apology, he replied, “It’s high-quality, it doesn’t harm.”

Qin Xue couldn’t assist however snort out loud, “Sorry, I didn’t imply to snort, however I simply couldn’t assist it.”

As she spoke, she couldn’t assist however snort once more, amused by the person. He claimed to not be in ache, as if he had been manufactured from iron and bronze.

Nevertheless, this additionally confirmed that he was an informed man.

Qin Xue regarded up and noticed that he was sporting a black swimsuit and glossy leather-based sneakers.

By his garments alone, she might inform he was rich. He was fairly tall and skinny, about 180 cm, and had good-looking options.

It was solely the scar on the left aspect of his face that marred his attractiveness, however his eyes had been full of laughter.

From his phrases simply now, Qin Xue knew that he was not a foul individual – folks say that eyes don’t lie.

As Qin Xue was taking measure of Li Zhao, he was additionally sizing her up.

Initially, Li Zhao had come to the black market to seek out a big provide of greens. The southern area had skilled flooding this yr and wanted a big provide of vegetables and fruit, which might fetch an excellent revenue.

Nevertheless, after looking out all the black market, he had solely discovered scattered greens which couldn’t meet his wants.

Unexpectedly, he wasn’t paying consideration and obtained ran into by the girl throughout from him. Though he was at all times smiling, the scar on his face scared off individuals who didn’t know him effectively.

Nevertheless, this girl was not scared in any respect; as a substitute, she appeared amused, which made Li Zhao discover her fairly attention-grabbing: “Miss, aren’t you frightened by my look? Aren’t you afraid of the scar on my face?”

“No, your scar does look a bit scary, nevertheless it’s not such as you wished it.

Furthermore, such a protracted scar might solely have been left by a really critical harm.

You may nonetheless stay your life with a smile even after having such an enormous scar, so what’s there for me to be afraid of?” Qin Xue was not one to guage folks by their appears to be like.

Having seen so many grotesque accidents in her earlier life, this scar actually couldn’t scare her.

Nevertheless, she did admire this man. Many individuals would really feel inferior due to their disfigurement.

However he didn’t. As an alternative, he lived his life with a assured smile. That was how folks ought to stay – whether or not they’re crying or laughing all day, why not stay with a smile? So, this man left an excellent impression on Qin Xue.

“Miss, you’re fairly a outstanding individual. Many individuals are frightened by my appears to be like and overlook different elements.

However you may see past that. Can we develop into pals? My identify is Li Zhao, and everybody likes to name me Zhaozi.” Li Zhao was very perceptive of individuals.

This girl was not extraordinary, and befriending her is perhaps very helpful to him.

Qin Xue didn’t anticipate Li Zhao to say such issues, however it could be good for her to have extra pals on this unfamiliar place.

“Hey, my identify is Qin Xue. I’m happy to fulfill you.”

“You appear youthful than me. Can I name you Little Sister Qin Xue?” Li Zhao politely requested Qin Xue.

“Certain, then I’ll name you Brother Zhao.” Qin Xue wasn’t one to hesitate.

“So, are you right here to purchase greens, Sister?” Li Zhao requested as he checked out Qin Xue’s basket.

“Properly, I simply wished to see what sort of greens they’ve right here. What about you? What are you trying to purchase?” Though Qin Xue had develop into pals with Li Zhao, she couldn’t reveal her hand in entrance of somebody she had simply met.

“As for me, I’m additionally right here to take a look at vegetables and fruit. To be sincere, I’m a businessman, and the Southern Area is in nice want of vegetables and fruit as a result of flood this yr. So, I wished to see if there have been any giant portions accessible. Nevertheless, I went via all the county market and solely discovered a small quantity, which wasn’t sufficient for my wants, so I got here to the black market to look.”

“However I solely discovered a couple of hundred kilograms right here, which is much from the 20,000 kilograms I would like.” Li Zhao felt annoyed when occupied with the quantity of provides he wanted to supply for the Southern Area.

At current, there are nonetheless no open insurance policies, and plenty of issues require vouchers. It’s exhausting to seek out the products they want by sneaking round.

Nevertheless, Li Zhao didn’t wish to surrender this chance, so he needed to preserve looking out.

“You imply you want a considerable amount of greens?” Upon listening to this, Qin Xue felt as if her coronary heart was about to take flight. It was as if heaven was serving to her.

“Sure, have you learnt the place I can discover them? If you realize, please let me know. In the event you assist me remedy this downside, I received’t allow you to go empty-handed.” Li Zhao’s eyes lit up upon listening to this.

Qin Xue had certainly made a helpful pal, as he might assist her remedy her downside.

“You really want them? You’re not mendacity to me?” Qin Xue thought it was greatest to verify as soon as extra.

“I actually need them. If you realize the place to seek out them, let me know. Irrespective of the amount, I’ll take all of it. I imagine in credibility as a businessman. You may relaxation assured that I’ll settle the fee and take away the products with out inflicting any bother for you.” Li Zhao was not solely engaged within the vegetable enterprise.

He additionally traded different items to earn a revenue. Since being discharged from the army, Li had amassed fairly a fortune. Though the amount he wanted this time was appreciable, he might deal with it.

“The greens are of wonderful high quality. What value will you give?” Qin Xue thought of promoting all of the greens she had in order that she might have some cash.

“Sister, as for the value, I must see the standard of the greens earlier than I can provide you a quote. However I promise that if the standard is sweet, the value won’t be low.”

“Check out the standard. All of the greens are top-notch, so you may’t give me a low value.”

When Li Zhao noticed the greens in Qin Xue’s hand, he was thrilled.

The greens in Qin Xue’s hand had been contemporary and luxurious, plump and scrumptious, and not using a single insect gap. They couldn’t discover greens of this high quality all through all the county. In the event that they shipped these greens to the Southern Area, wouldn’t they make a fortune?

Li Zhao checked out the remainder of Qin Xue’s greens: “Are all of those of the identical high quality? I’ll take as many as you could have. The market value is 50 cents a pound. Since your greens are of higher high quality, I’ll provide you with 60 cents a pound for bok choy and cabbage, 70 cents for tomatoes, and 80 cents for chili peppers.”

If Qin Xue knew what Li Zhao was pondering, she would undoubtedly scoff at him.

It was sure that these greens had been grown utilizing Spirit Spring water. The area had religious vitality, no bugs, and its merchandise couldn’t be inferior, might they?

Li Zhao’s provided value was not low. Initially, he wished to supply 60 cents for all, however later, pondering that giving a cheaper price for such good high quality would possibly make Qin Xue sad, he provided a better value. The intense water harm within the Southern Area meant that chili peppers might enhance the physique’s skill to battle off the chilly, so he couldn’t lose cash on this deal.

Subsequently, he provided a better value, and Qin Xue knew that getting this value was actually good. It was an additional 10 cents a pound increased than the market value. Nevertheless, the standard of produce from her area couldn’t be inferior.

“Okay, yow will discover somebody to go to the previous home exterior town to gather the greens. There needs to be about 10,000 kilograms in complete. I’ll meet you there.” When Qin Xue entered town, she noticed an previous, vacant home.

She figured she would transfer the greens there first, in any other case, she must discover a option to get the greens in entrance of Li Zhao.

“All proper, sister, I’ll go discover some folks and automobiles to select them up.” Li Zhao didn’t wish to ask Qin Xue too many questions.

It wasn’t essential to dig right into a pal’s secrets and techniques whereas attending to know them. So, upon listening to Qin Xue’s suggestion, he agreed.

After going their separate methods, Qin Xue took her bag and acquired a lock earlier than heading out of town to the previous home. Fortunately, it wasn’t too removed from town.

Qin Xue took a have a look at the previous home, which appeared a bit dilapidated. It had two rooms and a front room, and it was empty inside. She didn’t know who it belonged to.

She thought, ‘Who cares, I’ll borrow it for now.’ Qin Xue then eliminated all of the greens from her area, filling all the room.

After transferring all the pieces, she locked the door and sat exterior, ready for Li Zhao and his group. About ten minutes later, Li Zhao arrived with 4 small vehicles and a big scale.
