Ruan Ning was surprised and finally understood why he was so cautious just now.
Ruan Ning was not sure whether to laugh or cry. She asked, “I remember now. Are you doing business with Brother Li now?”
The man said embarrassedly: “Yes, no one buys the power bank, and Brother Li’s business is so good, so we all help him.”
What was selling well and attractive now? The answer was self-evident.
It seemed that Wu Dawei was very capable. He brought a lot of food from Yueshan Camp, making this small market prosperous.
After that person left, Ruan Ning simply sat next to the charcoal fire and continued to tidy up the space.
About half an hour later, Wu Dawei arrived, exhausted.
Ruan Ning moved a stool for him to the fireside: “Brother Wu is a very busy man now. You still have to rush to see me.”
Wu Dawei sat down and said, “How can I be busy? It’s obviously you who are busy. I rushed over when I heard you were coming.”
Ruan Ning was too lazy to beat around the bush and asked with a smile, “How was the ginseng from last time?”
Wu Dawei originally put his hands on the brazier to warm the fire. Hearing Ruan Ning’s question, he quickly took out a note from his pocket.
Ruan Ning took it curiously and saw a list of supplies written on it.
20 catties of rice.
1 catty of salt.
1 catty of rock sugar.
1 catty of freeze-dried vegetables and 1 catty of freeze-dried fruits.
20 boxes of bread, 20 boxes of instant noodles, and 5 boxes of self-heating rice.
This list looked ordinary before the end of the world, but after the end of the world, especially freeze-dried vegetables and freeze-dried fruits, these were sky-high prices.
There were also practical bread, instant noodles, and self-heating rice.
Ruan Ning was surprised: “Is this what I got in exchange for my ginseng?”
Wu Dawei smiled widely, even happier than Ruan Ning: “Yes, I’ll give you an estimate. This is worth at least 2,500 catties of compressed biscuits.”
Ruan Ning thought to herself: Wow, wasn’t this a huge profit for her?
She could now refresh three ginseng in her space every day, and there were still more than a hundred in stock. This was a typical business with no capital.
But this thing is just a gimmick. Things are valuable because they are rare. If there are too many of them, they will become worthless.
Ruan Ning returned the paper to Wu Dawei. She was very curious: “Who bought this thing?”
“It was an old man in his eighties who said he wanted to prolong his life, so he bought some ginseng slices and took a little every day.”
Wu Dawei said: “They were rich people who were hoarding supplies at the time, but they didn’t think of hoarding this. They had a batch of cigarettes and alcohol, but we couldn’t get them, and there was no need.”
Ruan Ning knew what was going on: “We talked about a 90-10 ratio at the time, right?”
Wu Dawei nodded.
“Will you accept this?”
Wu Dawei was stunned: “You don’t want it?”
Ruan Ning said: “I’ll take the freeze-dried fruit back, and the rest is yours. How much can you offer?”
Wu Dawei thought for a moment: “2,400 catties of compressed biscuits.”
Ruan Ning did not bargain: “Then, follow this price. I will take 2,140 catties, and the extra 20 catties will be my personal hard work fee to you, a small token of my appreciation.”
Wu Dawei smiled immediately: “How can I be so embarrassed? Sister, do you want compressed biscuits now?”
Ruan Ning shook her head: “I don’t want any compressed biscuits either. I want to see if you have anything good.”
Wu Dawei was really shocked this time.
He understood that she didn’t want oil, salt, sugar, and rice, but she didn’t even want compressed biscuits. What a strong strength this was.
Thinking of this, he looked embarrassed: “This is really embarrassing for me. You can even take out ginseng, what else can we have that you can take a fancy to?”
Ruan Ning smiled at him.

Translator’s Comment:
For confused readers, let me do the math.
The price is 2,400 catties. Ruan Ning’s ratio is 90%, so she gets 2,160 catties. She gave 20 catties to Wu Dawei, so she took 2,140 catties.
Hope it helps you!
