Chapter 409 You've gone astray, huh? Stop keeping me in suspense.
Su Niannian was still a little dazed when she entered the space.
"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly take me into this space?"
"I didn't see you in the room just now, I thought you'd been carried off by some wolf cub!"
As Su Niannian spoke, she pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.
After Gu Nan brought Su Niannian into the space, he paused the flow of time in the outside world.
"I just tested that virtual controller, the one for adjusting the distance," Gu Nan said, wrapping his arms around Su Niannian.
As soon as he finished speaking, he placed a kiss on Su Niannian's forehead.
"Okay!" Su Niannian wasn't really angry to begin with, and after Gu Nan kissed her, she was even less angry.
"I've tried it a few times, and it works really well," Gu Nan said.
The little guy had been lying on the table, watching Gu Nan come and go, yawning.
Seeing Su Niannian come in, the little guy happily ran to her side.
Su Niannian lowered her head, smiled, and patted the little guy's head.
"Niannian, have you used that stone mill before?" Gu Nan asked Su Niannian.
When Gu Nan entered the space, he noticed that the millstone inside had been used.
Su Niannian is pregnant now, how can she still use such things?
What if it gets stretched?
"I used it for a bit. I found a rice seller named Gao Yunshan in the black market near Baicaotang in the city."
"I plan to sell him the rice from the space."
"Didn't I sell this rice to Old Qian back in Long County?"
"As a result, a portion of the rice from Long County ended up in Gao Yunshan's hands after going through countless twists and turns."
"You can't even imagine the astronomical price my rice from my space fetches in Beijing."
As Su Niannian spoke, she played with the little one.
The little guy was overjoyed.
"Oh? What a coincidence! Rice from Long County has somehow ended up on the black market in Beijing."
“The rice grown in this space is irrigated with spiritual spring water, so it’s of extremely high quality and it’s understandable that it’s more expensive,” Gu Nan replied after hearing Su Niannian’s words.
"One yuan and eighty cents a pound!" Seeing that Gu Nan didn't seem surprised, Su Niannian told him the price directly.
Although Gu Nan felt he could understand selling it at a higher price, he still couldn't help but gasp when he heard the exorbitant price of 1.8 yuan.
“This is something I didn’t expect,” Gu Nan said, clearing away the rice husks under the millstone.
"So, how much did you sell it to him for in the cooperation you discussed?" Gu Nan asked again.
"It's 1.3 yuan per jin, but this time it needs to be threshed," Su Niannian said to Gu Nan with a smile.
If the rice produced in this space could sell for 1.3 yuan per kilogram, that would be a considerable sum of money.
"Where is the transaction taking place?" Gu Nan asked again.
Su Niannian then told Gu Nan everything that had happened since she left the black market that day.
When Gu Nan heard that it was Old Master Bai's place, he felt that it should be quite safe.
After all, Old Master Bai has a certain status and position in Beijing.
Gu Nan knew that Su Niannian was a smart person, so he wasn't too worried that she would be deceived.
"It's a good thing you didn't go looking for a threshing machine today; you can't buy one at this time of year," Gu Nan said to Su Niannian after hearing her words.
At that time, threshing machines were not allowed to be bought and sold privately. Back when we were in Kaoshan Village, there were only six threshing machines in the county, which were used in rotation by more than a dozen villages.
Even in Beijing, it's impossible to buy it privately.
Upon hearing Gu Nan's words, Su Niannian deflated like a punctured balloon.
"Isn't that the end of it? Thousands of kilograms of rice, are we going to rely on just this stone mill?" Su Niannian said with some disappointment.
"At worst, we'll just sell the unthreshed grains."
"I wonder if Old Qian's threshing machine is still around."
Su Niannian thought that Old Qian should have a threshing machine, since he couldn't very well use a manual stone mill to thresh grains.
Old Qian has trucks, how could he not have a threshing machine?
Seeing that Su Niannian was somewhat dejected, Gu Nan smiled and came to Su Niannian's side.
"I do know a place that has a threshing machine."
“But they should all be bad, but…” Gu Nan said, looking at Su Niannian.
"But what?" Su Niannian asked, noticing that Gu Nan was being coy.
Gu Nan wasn't like this before. Has he learned bad habits from me?
What's that phrase called? "One who stays near ink gets stained black."
No, no, it's clearly a case of "being influenced by one's surroundings"!
"It's still early today, I'll take you to have a look." Gu Nan then led Su Niannian away from the space.
Outside, time hadn't changed.
The little guy, on the other hand, just killed a chicken and wanted to give it to his owner.
result?
When the little guy returned with a chicken in his mouth, he looked around but there was no sign of his owner.
Damn it! Damn it!
I felt like an unwanted child.
I wonder if the tigress my owner mentioned last time will ever have the chance to ask me if I want her again.
The little guy put the chicken on the ground and quickly plucked its feathers.
Just started eating.
After finishing eating, I lazily lay down on the ground.
On the other side, Gu Nan and Su Niannian left the space and went outside.
It's only a little past seven in the evening, so it's not that late.
Gu Nan knocked on his mother's door.
Gu Ningning came to open the door.
Seeing Gu Nan and Su Niannian at the door, Gu Ningning couldn't help but ask.
"Second brother and sister-in-law, are you going out?" Gu Ningning asked, looking at Su Niannian carrying her military green backpack.
"Okay, I'm taking your second sister-in-law out to meet a friend. We'll be back later. Let Mom and the others go to sleep first."
"I'm afraid you'll get anxious if you don't see us for a while," Gu Nan said to Gu Ningning before going to get his bicycle.
Su Niannian took a flashlight and sat on the back of Gu Nan's bicycle.
Gu Ningning had just gone inside and told her mother when her mother came out after her.
"You have to be careful taking Niannian out so late." Gu's mother knew that Gu Nan was reliable, so a reminder was enough.
After all, it's not appropriate for me to interfere too much in the affairs of young people.
"Okay!" Gu Nan replied.
Su Niannian waved to Gu's mother and Gu Ningning, and Gu Nan rode away on his bicycle.
Mother Gu closed the courtyard gate, but did not lock it.
After riding a distance out of the family compound, Su Niannian lifted her face, which was pressed against Gu Nan's back, a little.
"Where are we going?" Su Niannian asked, wrapping her arms around Gu Nan's waist.
Su Niannian shone the flashlight in her hand on Gu Nan.
"I'll take you to an abandoned warehouse," Gu Nan replied with a smile to Su Niannian.
Her voice was very gentle.
Su Niannian noticed that her rough and tough boyfriend seemed to be getting gentler lately.
He's not quite the same as when we first met.
