SRTT Chapter 12.3

After she finished eating these, it would be about time for her to move out. She wouldn’t have to worry about her neighbors having bad intentions.

If the relationship between the two families was still good by then, she could quietly leave some food when she left, just treating it as a favor.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Jikuan said, “How about this? If your colleague really has the goods, I want to buy 2,000 kilograms, which is 50 bags. However, I don’t have that much cash, so I can only pay with gold.”

“You’re buying so much?” Ruan Ning’s eyes lit up.

On the one hand, she was happy that the other party was so generous to buy enough food. On the other hand, she was already prepared to collect waste paper, but she didn’t expect to earn gold.

Gold still had circulation value, so this deal was a huge profit.

Ruan Ning couldn’t agree directly, so she said that she would ask her colleagues first and give Cheng Jikuan a reply later.

Cheng Jikuan suddenly asked: “Does that require a deposit?”

“Deposit?” Ruan Ningzhen hadn’t expected this.

After thinking for a while, she said, “I think it should be necessary. If you are not afraid that I will cheat you, you can give me a deposit first.”

Cheng Jikuan said okay and continued to install the liquefied gas stove.

After the installation was completed, he went back to the next door and brought a box over. He opened it and showed it to Ruan Ning.

“This is the gold bar I bought from the bank. The certificate is still inside. The weight is 50 grams. I know that gold is generally not collected at the market price. You can negotiate with them.”

Ruan Ning paid attention to it a few days ago. The price of gold bars was about 480. According to the market price, 50 grams was 4,000 yuan more than the rice’s price.

That was quite nice.

Ruan Ning raised her eyebrows, looked at Cheng Jikuan, and said teasingly, “Brother Cheng, if you give me so much directly, aren’t you afraid that I will run away with the money?”

Cheng Jikuan closed the box and handed it to her: “If you are a liar, the risk is within my tolerance. If not, my profit should be huge, so it is worth the risk.”

Ruan Ning smiled and took the box: “Okay, I won’t run away for 20,000 yuan, and I can’t run far now.”

Cheng Jikuan paused and said, “Then, please pay attention to safety when you go out. There is also a liquefied gas stove that was just installed. Please use it with caution.”

Ruan Ning was amused: “Brother Cheng, don’t worry. I will pay attention.”

Cheng Jikuan nodded and left Ruan Ning’s house.

Afterward, Ruan Ning walked around outside, found the warehouse that she had rented, and threw sixty bags of rice into it.

She returned to the community and knocked on the door next door.

It was Cheng Jili who opened the door. She was holding a pile of playing cards in her hand. When she saw Ruan Ning, her eyes sparkled: “Ning Ning, are you here to play with me?”

Ruan Ning smiled and said, “I’m looking for you, but I’m also looking for your brother.”

Cheng Jikuan must have heard the noise. He walked out of the room and looked at her.

Ruan Ning said: “Brother Cheng, my colleague agreed. They have already transported the rice to the warehouse. We need to move it back ourselves, but the requirement is that we have to finish moving it before noon.”

Cheng Jikuan nodded: “Okay, how much more do we need to pay?”

Ruan Ning: “No need, the prices outside are in a mess right now. They like gold very much. They say that the price of gold will go up.”

Cheng Jili was confused when she heard this. After the two people explained it, she was dumbfounded: “Brother, why are we buying so much rice? What if it goes bad?”

Cheng Jikuan said: “Don’t worry, I won’t let you eat it all. If it’s useless by then, I’ll take it to the shooting range.”

Cheng Jili still felt that her brother was too exaggerated, but her advantage was that she was obedient: “Okay, but we won’t be able to finish eating so much. What do you think?”

It took three people a lot of effort to transport 60 bags of rice back. They also covered the bicycle with three-color plastic sheets on the way to avoid any problems.

The residents in the community were now busy with their own affairs or stockpiling food outside, so no one was paying attention to them.

When the last trip was made, the sky was already covered with dark clouds.
