Chapter 538: Huge Profits (3) (1/2)

Their hometown in the Qing River Brigade was inland and even Jiangchong City was not as prosperous. Very few fruits were imported into that region, and they were a rare find on the black market.

She had brought some out before, but she had always exercised extreme caution and she only brought out very little. It was a fraction of what she had stored in her interspace.

Nancheng was different, however. It was a large city in the southern region and it was near the southern orchards. Fruits were more common here, and the city was prosperous, so it had comparatively more resources.

Mo Beihan thought and nodded. “They’re not as rare here as they are in our hometown, but there is still a scarcity of them. If you offer them for sale, they will command a high price, almost as much as meat. Sometimes even higher.”

In these times, transportation was not as convenient as it would be later on. Fruits were delicate and difficult to store. Much of it would be wasted if it were to be transported.

So there were few fruits, even in Nancheng.

Gu Qingyao’s eyes brightened. She understood!

“In that case, we’ll stay here awhile longer, and I’ll sell some fruits. I have so many in the interspace – they’re a waste of space.”

The fruits in her interspace were not the rare types. In their previous life, she had obtained them cheaply from orchards during her travels with Mo Beihan. Some had been acquired during bad years when she took pity on the fruit farmers and had especially collected them.

When they got back to the capital, she sold off a portion of it, but there was still a large portion in her interspace that she had not managed to sell.

Now that she was back to this era, if she could sell these things off, it would be fairly profitable.

The prices that she could obtain at this time could never be matched in later years!
