Chapter 536: Huge Profits (1)

Mo Beihan was much more relaxed in his own home. He did not need Gu Qingyao’s help. He could settle these laborious tasks by himself.

There were six small boxes in the little courtyard. These were all things that he had obtained on the black market. The things that passed through here were usually small and exquisite because they were easily hidden and not conspicuous.

His six boxes were all extremely small.

He dug them up in no time. He had hidden them in four places, including in the backyard and the corners of the walls.

The next day, Mo Beihan was already up by the time Gu Qingyao awoke.

They would only be here for a few days, and it was too troublesome to cook. There was nothing in the kitchen, and he had not asked Lin Dongxu to prepare anything, so he did not make breakfast.

When Gu Qingyao got up, she got some food from her interspace, and after they had eaten, they took a look at the small boxes.

They were mostly precious stones and gems, a few snuff bottles, ink stones, and other small items. There were also a few medical books. Mo Beihan had specially collected them for her.

Gu Qingyao was delighted. “These are great! Look at their style, they’re so pretty!”

She could tell from these items just how wealthy the rich families in Nancheng were.

The gems were mostly of top quality. Not only were they beautifully cut, but the stones themselves were also of superior quality. Such items could only be found in truly wealthy families.

The fact that Mo Beihan had so many of them showed how prosperous Nancheng used to be.

Mo Beihan smiled and said, “Nancheng is a huge city in the southern region. There used to be numerous illustrious families here. Of course there are plenty of rich people, and these are just a sample! I only kept a portion. The things here are a bit smaller. Some of them were obtained from places further away, and it was not convenient for me to bring them here, so I hid them somewhere else. We’ll go and get them later.”

Nancheng occupied a huge area and it was an especially large city in the southern part of China. There were more than twenty black markets of all sizes. Mo Beihan had visited almost all the black markets in order to barter for items. He had even obtained things from the suburbs or villages. Some of these items were not easily transported, so he had secretly hidden them.

Gu Qingyao nodded and put everything in the interspace. She and Mo Beihan packed up and left.

Mo Beihan had not hidden many things outside the house, so this time, Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan were primarily visiting the various black markets.

Mo Beihan was different from Gu Qingyao. Of course he could not carry limitless resources like Gu Qingyao. He had to think of ways to exchange his things, so he mostly traded for money, and besides some small items, he did not have many larger items.

Firstly, they went to a black market in the southwestern region. This was one of Nancheng’s four largest black markets. A little south of the black market was a small hill, and Mo Beihan had hidden his things there.

This was a large black market. It was crowded and occupied a large area. Mo Beihan and Gu Qingyao went around the black market a few times and traded for many items. When it was about time, they headed for the small hill.

It was much more convenient to trade here than in their hometown. Nancheng was more prosperous than the provincial capital they had lived in, and there were greater demands here.

The small hill was nearby and they reached it within half an hour of walking. No wonder Mo Beihan had hidden the things here.

Halfway up the hill was a small woods, with a ramshackle straw hut. Mo Beihan found it and brought Gu Qingyao over.
