Xia Ran carried a few chickens back to the stall. Business here was still very good, and even showed a trend of exceeding that of the previous few days.

Seeing that it was inconvenient for everyone to choose goods, Gui Niang and her friends moved the cloth directly to the shed where the bicycles were previously placed. This dispersed the crowded crowd to some extent, so that everyone would not be crowded together and affect the speed of trading.

Seeing that everyone’s sales were good, Xia Ran thought it would be okay without her, so she put down two chickens and asked everyone to have more dishes. She then left with the remaining chicken and went to the City God Temple.

The City God Temple, which is usually deserted, was exceptionally crowded and lively today. The owners of several shops selling incense, yellow paper, and joss sticks at the door had been smiling like flowers since yesterday.

Business has been so good these past two days that it’s almost as good as the Spring Festival days.

Xia Ran looked at the checkout area of ​​the store, which was crowded with people. She waited for a while before she bought a few sticks of incense, a few incense candles as thick as her wrists, and a large stack of yellow paper and entered the City God Temple.

First they worshipped the gods in heaven, and finally the City God. After Xia Ran arrived, he gave the roast chicken and incense sticks to the deacon inside, who placed them on the altar neatly.

After Xia Ran and the others in front of her finished their worship, she lit a thick handful of incense, bowed three times, and inserted it into the large incense burner. She was just about to ask the City God to forgive her, but the incense she inserted broke right in the middle.

The deacon next to him was also stunned. He had seen three incense sticks broken before, but this was the first time he saw a whole bunch of incense broken.

Xia Ran was not very surprised by this. How could a god not have a temper? She knew clearly what she had done. So she lit another stick of incense, muttering as she lit it: Lord City God, please don't be angry. It is really an accident that you have to take the blame. I didn't expect it. Please don't be angry.

I also bought you a roast chicken, specially to honor you, don't be angry. I also indirectly did a good thing, at least it prevented the common people here from being deceived. My original intention was good. Let's look at the original intention, not the process, just ignore the process.

You keep this area peaceful, I also hope that our place is good, our original intentions are the same, don't be angry, you see, because of this, your incense is more prosperous, with incense, there is the power of faith, you are not at a disadvantage. Our matter is at most a win-win, isn't it, so don't be angry. I'm going to insert it again, can't be interrupted again.

After Xia Ran finished muttering, he bowed three times devoutly, then reinsert the incense stick. He paused to take a look and saw that the incense stick was still standing and had not gone out. It seemed that the City God had forgiven him and the matter was over.

Xia Ran felt relieved now. He thanked the other party in his heart and went to the two side halls to burn incense.

Because of the stockpiling in the past two days, Xia Ran specially offered a stick of incense to all the livestock that were going to cause sins to be killed, hoping that they would be reborn into good lives in the next life.

Then he went to a place that sold all kinds of large vats, jars and jars, pointed at some goods and ordered them, which could be used to store meat, grain, etc. He asked them to be delivered to the yard the next day and someone would be waiting there.

After leaving the store, there was a store selling sorghum wine not far away. Xia Ran walked over and saw quite a few people buying wine. Xia Ran casually asked a few uncles how the wine was.

An uncle dressed well nodded repeatedly: "This is the best sorghum wine in our county, a pure grain wine. Their family has had it since the Republic of China. Except for the years of food shortage and special years, they have been making it all the time. The taste is pure, even the highest alcohol version won't give you a headache if you drink too much. The wine bought from other places is not as good as ours. I can't get used to it. First, it's not satisfying. I always feel like I'm drinking fake wine. Second, I get a headache easily after drinking other wines, especially when I wake up the next day. It's a splitting headache."

"That sounds good. I'll buy some. What's the concentration? What's the concentration usually?"

The uncle said proudly: "As for the alcohol content, there are alcohols ranging from over 20 to over 50. I used to only buy the best alcohol with the highest alcohol content every time I came here. In recent years, I have gotten older and my wife and children have been watching me too closely, so I changed to alcohols with lower alcohol content. But here, people usually bring their own bottles to buy loose alcohol, and no one cares about the alcohol content. If you have more money, you can buy expensive ones, and if you have less money, you can buy cheaper ones. However, the higher the alcohol content, the more expensive it is."

"Thank you."

After the first few people had finished their purchases, Xia Ran took over the remaining 1200 kilograms in the store. He negotiated a price of 8 cents per kilogram, and all of them were packed in white plastic pots of 2 kilograms, 5 kilograms, and 10 kilograms. Xia Ran paid for the pots separately.

If you want it again, you have to wait until next time. Several batches of wine have been brewed, and the new wine will not come out so quickly, so you need to wait a few days.

Xia Ran told the delivery address and came to the phone booth. Xia Ran was already a frequent customer here. The auntie guarding the phone remembered Xia Ran. "Are you here? Or are you calling?"

"Yes."

Xia Ran then called Shi Guangming and asked, "Are there any soap factories, washing powder factories, or toilet paper factories in the city? What about toothpaste and toothbrush factories? What about wineries? Military coat factories? Canning factories? Kettle factories?"

What Xia Ran mentioned were the things that the Russians might be lacking at the moment. She would add the others when she remembered them.

Shi Guangming on the other end of the phone replied without even a pause: "Xia sister, these factories are all there, just tell me what you want me to do?"

"Okay, first help me rent an independent large yard where I can store goods. It has to be close to the highway outside the city, not disturbing the people, and convenient for moving goods. It only takes ten days or half a month to rent it. It's okay if the price is a little higher. Also, can you help me contact these manufacturers? I want to wholesale some goods. You can order unlimited quantities, but the quality must be good and the price must be low enough. Don't ask for a random price. As for military coats, I only want large sizes, the kind that people over 1.89 meters tall can wear."

After hearing this, Shi Guangming was completely excited. If he could help with these things, he would get a lot of invisible benefits. He once again sighed in his heart that Sister Xia was his lucky god. It was great, so he immediately replied:

"No problem at all, Sister Xia, I'll help you select a few companies and ask them to prepare samples. We can discuss the specific price when we meet. As for the yard, don't worry, I will definitely help you rent it. When will you come to the city?"

"It's hard to say at the moment, but I estimate it will take at least three or four days. I'll pay you the rent once I raise it. If you have enough time, please help me contact a flour mill and a rice mill, as I still need these two things. Please also help me contact a meat processing plant, as I need pork, beef and mutton, and in large quantities."

"Okay, okay, no problem at all."
