Chapter 540: Huge Profits (5) (1/2)

Mo Beihan massaged her sore calves with a smile.

“Let’s return a few days later! I’ve already planned the route back. It’s rare for us to make a trip out, so let’s visit the few cities we will pass by on our way back as well. What do you think?”

Gu Qingyao pondered for a moment and agreed.

Transportation was not as convenient in this era as in the later times, and it was extremely troublesome to make a trip out. This was considered her first time taking a far trip and who knows how long more she would have to wait to make another in the future!

It would be such a waste to keep all these resources!

“All right! Let’s wait a few more days before going back.”

The pair stayed in Nancheng for about ten days before setting off for the provincial capital together with Lin Dongxu.

However, Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan got off halfway while Lin Dongxu left alone.

Mo Beihan brought Gu Qingyao around the big cities they passed by, and they even visited Shanghai before finally returning to the provincial capital.

It was already late autumn when they returned.

The first thing that Gu Qingyao did when she reached home was to calculate the accounts.

Overall, there were huge gains from this trip.

She sold nearly 20,000 kilograms of resources, including all the grains, meat, fruits and even cloths and medicines.

All of these items were traded for about 30,000 yuan and more than forty boxes of antique paintings, jewelry, gemstones and whatnot.

The food prices in the current market were not as high as two years ago, thus many people were willing to use cash to buy items. This was why Gu Qingyao obtained so much cash from the barter.

Most of the cash was obtained from bartering rare resources such as meats, fruits, canned food, et cetera.

These were extremely costly items.
