Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s

Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Black Boss Who Was Laughed at by Rage Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Black Boss Who Was Laughed at by Rage He Yujie had not expected this woman to be so bold. The young man following beside her had a face full of admiration; no one had dared to speak to the boss like that.

“Alright,” said He Yujie, “let Ning Rui take you to the kitchen.”

But he was thinking to himself that her dress and manner of speaking did not match, which made her rather interesting.

Luo Qia nodded her head and followed them out with composure.

True to the reputation of being the Black Market leader, the ingredients in the kitchen were not lacking in quality. Luo Qiao saw that someone had already stewed the rice, prepared stir-fried white pork with aniseed, sautéed leeks with eggs, home-style tofu, and a coriander egg soup.

She then started to prepare braised fish. Before long, the fragrant aroma filled the kitchen. Ning Rui, lured by the scent, glanced over several times. Even He Yujie, inside the room, looked up toward the kitchen a few times.

Soon enough, Luo Qiao had finished cooking, moving as naturally as if she were in her own home, and Ning Rui was truly impressed by her.

After the meal was served, He Yujie said to Luo Qiao, “It’s also time for lunch, let’s eat together.”

Luo Qiao, thinking she still had business to discuss and not knowing how long it would take, took a seat as well.

He Yujie started eating first, picking up a piece of fish and placing it in his mouth. Immediately, his eyes lit up—the fish was even more tender and tastier than the usual fare.

During the meal, with three people and four dishes, the fish was the first to be finished. Ning Rui said, somewhat embarrassedly, “Comrade Luo’s fish is really delicious.”

After the dishes and chopsticks had been cleared away, Luo Qiao did not initiate conversation, waiting to see what this Boss He would say.

He Yujie brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for both Luo Qiao and himself, and finally said, “You are quite unique, but let’s talk business.”

Luo Qiao took a sip from her teacup and responded, “Fair enough.”

“For the ordinary river and lake fish of good quality, we pay six mao per jin,” said He Yujie, “but your fish indeed has excellent flesh quality, so I’ll give you one mao more, seven mao per jin. What do you think?”

Luo Qiao knew his offer was not low and replied, “Alright, let’s start with that for now. I believe that once someone has tried this fish, they’ll definitely come back for more.”

“How much of this fish do you have right now?” He Yujie asked.

“The fish is best when it’s fresh, right?” said Luo Qiao.

He Yujie squinted his eyes, pondering what this woman could be up to. When others came to sell to him, they had to cater to his needs, but this woman always managed to surprise.

“I have the fish,” said Luo Qiao, “but I’m not responsible for delivery. You will need to come and get it.”

“So just for that uncertain amount of your fish, I’d have to send someone to pick it up? That doesn’t seem like a good deal,” He Yujie pointed out.

“Whether it’s a good deal or not, we’ll see after we cooperate. If you think it’s really not suitable, that’s fine too. I can take my time finding the right person to sell to,” Luo Qiao responded.

He Yujie was both annoyed and amused by this unassuming woman before him. What was she really here for, to sneak in a meal under the guise of trading fish and then take off?

“Tell me where to pick up the goods?” he said.

Luo Qiao touched her nose and gave a light cough before replying, “In the forest by the road from Wangshan County Chaoyang Commune to the city, that’s where the goods will come from.”

Of course, He Yujie knew where Chaoyang Commune was. Laughing cynically, he said, “Are you sure you’re not messing with me?”

That area was home to stationed troops and was also not far from the city, so everyone was aware of it.

“If you don’t believe it, I can’t help you. Like I said, I won’t deliver the fish. You can come once a month, and I’ll catch more, right?” Luo Qiao stated.

Feeling a surge of irritation but contemplating that it wouldn’t hurt to trust her once, He Yujie said, “The day after tomorrow, a vehicle will be returning from there anyway. How much fish can you supply?”
