Chapter 540: Huge Profits (5)

Mo Beihan ma.s.saged 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 pa.s.s 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 pa.s.sed 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.

After calculating the accounts, Gu Qingyao took a seat on her bed and sighed.

Her a.s.sets appeared a lot, but she knew that combining what she and Mo Beihan had in total, it was only worth one-tenth of the Gu family’s property.

The Gu family was originally a landlord family, and her ancestors were from one of the wealthiest families. Her grandmother, Wen Ruyu, was even the daughter and only successor of a powerful landlord in Shanghai and was extremely affluent.

The Gu family’s financial resources were simply unfathomable. Had a large portion of it not been lost during its downfall, what she had currently would not even be worth mentioning.

Gu Qingyao plopped down on her bed with a sigh.

Although it was satisfying to earn so much in a short while, she knew that it would be the last time in a few years she could do so.

There probably would not be such a good opportunity to make a trip, and her items could only be sold slowly.

Mo Beihan laughed when he caught her sighing. “Why? Are you still unsatisfied?”

Gu Qingyao tilted her head and looked at him. She truly recognized Mo Beihan’s connections after this trip.

With a chuckle, Gu Qingyao sat up and hugged Mo Beihan’s arm. Looking at him with bright eyes, she asked, “Brother Beihan, the current you must be much more powerful than the you of our previous life, right?”

Mo Beihan held a damp cloth and helped her clean her face.

Smiling, he replied, “Of course I can’t be compared to my peak from our previous life, but the current me is definitely much more powerful than when I was at the same age in our previous time.”

Gu Qingyao beamed. “This time, what will you grow to become in the future?”

Mo Beihan’s movement paused. He looked at her with a smile and replied seriously, “Either way, I’ll definitely be able to protect you. Moreover… you are the most important!”

Gu Qingyao was taken aback!

But Mo Beihan did not say much and urged Gu Qingyao to rest. There was no time for her to rest in her inters.p.a.ce on the train. She must have been tired from the trip.

At the same time, a doc.u.ment from the capital reached the Qing River Brigade, completely changing Gu Qingyao’s life trajectory!
