Transmigration: Getting Rich with My Space and Supplies-Chapter 183 - 174: Buying and Selling

Uncle Liu was delighted to hear her voice, "I’ve fixed it, let me bring it out for you to see."

He pulled out the small trolley from the corner.

"Take a look, what do you think?"

Rong Yan stepped forward to try, nodding her head, "Pretty good."

Then she decisively handed over the remaining five yuan.

Uncle Liu was very happy, adding on to yesterday, he actually sold the broken-wheeled cart for seven yuan in total.

"Then I’ll be off." There was nothing good left at the waste collection station, as she had looked over everything yesterday.

"Alright," Uncle Liu waved his hand.

Rong Yan placed her bicycle on the trolley downstairs, then just pushed it away directly, walking a good distance until she arrived near the black market.

She glanced around and saw no one, so she entered an empty alley and then stowed away the bicycle into her space.

Then, the rice and flour she purchased from Space Supermarket, along with some other items, were all placed atop the small trolley.

After disguising herself... turning into a woman in her thirties, confident that even her mother standing in front of her wouldn’t be able to recognize her, she then pushed the trolley out.

The black market wasn’t as strictly controlled as it was in the past, and there were quite a few people.

Both sellers and buyers were plentiful.

Her trolley attracted quite some attention, and as soon as she went out, people gathered around.

"Auntie, what do you have here?"

"Rice, flour, and other things...there’s also powdered milk and eggs. If you have food coupons, you can buy at the state-run supply and marketing cooperative prices, but without coupons, you’ll have to pay market prices."

Upon her words, people immediately showed interest in buying.

Because the quality of her rice and flour were clearly superior, there were quite a few buyers, especially those with a bit of money who purposely purchased extra.

In no time, the goods on the pushcart were almost sold out.

Immediately after, Rong Yan took out five wristwatches, two for men and three for women, wrapped in a silk scarf.

"Plum brand watches, one hundred twenty for men, one hundred ten for women, no coupons needed."

Her call attracted a rapidly gathering crowd of onlookers.

After all, to buy a watch at the supply and marketing cooperative, one needed coupons.

And coupons for such industrial products were hard to come by.

Moreover, they were even five yuan cheaper than those sold at the cooperative.

The crowd was very tempted, but those who could afford watches were none.

They were just there for the excitement.

Rong Yan didn’t mind, after all, these five watches were bought from the supermarket.

It would be best to sell them, but if not, they could be sold next time she went to Jing City.

Even in the poorest areas, there were some wealthy people.

Like the middle-aged woman who squeezed through to her, "These watches don’t need industrial coupons, right? One hundred twenty for men’s and one hundred ten for women’s?"

Rong Yan glanced at her and could tell from the neat clothes she was wearing and the leather shoes on her feet that this person was well-off.

"That’s right."

Upon getting a confirmed answer, the middle-aged woman immediately said, "Alright, I’ll take one men’s watch and one women’s watch."

At her words, the onlookers gasped, and the look they gave her changed a bit.

Being able to afford one watch was already formidable, and this person just bought two outright—it spoke volumes of her wealth.

Rong Yan was also surprised but efficiently handed over the two watches, "They’re brand new, still with protective films on them, check them yourself."

The middle-aged woman carefully checked the watches, confirmed their newness and that they were identical to the ones displayed by Gong Xiaose, then breathed a sigh of relief and decisively counted out two hundred thirty yuan.

"Count the money."

Rong Yan, of course, counted it and counted fast.

"No problem."

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman quickly took the watches and hurried away.

After a while, there was nobody else, and just as Rong Yan was about to leave, a man approached.

"These watches... if I buy them all, can you give me a minimum price?"

Rong Yan heard this and thought it was possible! She had bought each watch for eighty and seventy yuan.

It was mainly through the money exchanged for ginseng grown in her space’s black soil so she could say there was no cost involved.

"I will discount five yuan per watch."

The man was clearly dissatisfied with the price, "What if I buy all three, can you make it ten yuan off each..."

Rong Yan immediately collected the watches, "Not selling."

Seeing her action, the man hurried to stop her, "Hey, why are you like this? I’ll buy them at your asking price."

Rong Yan looked at him, "Alright, give me the money!"

The man was well-prepared; he had observed when she took out the watches and then went to get money.

"Here, three hundred forty."

Rong Yan took the money, counted it, and after confirming it was correct, she handed over the three watches.

"If you have more in the future, come find me, I’m Zhang San."

Rong Yan twitched the corner of her mouth upon hearing this name.

In later eras, that could be considered a fake name.

"Alright, I’ll look for you next time."

After all, the money came quickly.

At this rate, she could make enough for a house after a few more sales.

Since everything on the pushcart was sold, she didn’t linger any longer. She pushed the cart to the same place she had come from, stowed it away in her space, and took out her bicycle.

Then she quickly disguised herself back.

Getting on her bicycle and heading out...

Madam Rong saw her daughter returning and quickly asked, "How did it go? Are your siblings adapting well?"

Rong Yan parked the bicycle and replied, "They’re attending school, what’s there to not adapt to?"

Madam Rong: ...

This response sounded problematic, yet at the same time, not so much.

"By the way, why are you back so late? It’s already noon."

"Didn’t I go to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up and buy some things? That’s why I’m back late." With that, Madam Rong noticed the two bags hanging from the handlebars of the bicycle.

"What have you bought? Why so much?"

She reached out and took a bag... it was quite heavy.

"I bought some meat, more rice, and flour, and also, I got formula milk for each of you. Take a look, the blue-packaged one is for you and Dad to drink, the other two bags are for those two kids to drink."

Madam Rong: ...

This extravagant spending.

"You could’ve just bought formula for Yu and Xiao Mei, why get it for your father and me? Are we still children?"

Rong Yan immediately retorted, "Who says only children can drink formula? This is for you to drink. Alright, since it’s already bought, don’t waste it."
