Zhao Quan raised his eyebrows and said softly, “You’re quite something. We’ve known each other for so many years, but I didn’t know that you had such skills.”

A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Sheng’s lips as he replied, “I only made it recently. If I had made it earlier, I would have sold it long ago. Don’t you know how short of money I am?”

Zhao Quan placed his arm on Xiao Sheng’s shoulder. “Why not sell them in single quantities? The selling price will be higher.”

Jam was a hot commodity. Xiao Sheng had thought that Zhao Quan would stop him from making it.

Usually, for safety reasons, Xiao Sheng would sell his goods to Zhao Quan and didn’t dare to find other ways.

Moreover, Zhao Quan had been selling things here since the beginning of this black market. He knew the complicated relationships the best. He could definitely be considered a senior figure in the black market. This was also one of the reasons Xiao Sheng didn’t dare to bypass him.

Although Zhao Quan seemed easygoing, Xiao Sheng believed that he seemed easygoing because it didn’t involve his personal interests yet. As long as it involved his personal interests, he wouldn’t be that easygoing.

Xiao Sheng lowered his head slightly. A moment later, he raised his head and looked into Zhao Quan’s eyes. He said, “I thought about it for a long time before making this decision. Brother Quan, you also know that someone in my family needs to undergo surgery. I really can’t afford to delay it, so I wanted to sell things in larger quantities!”

“Brother Quan, to be honest, if it wasn’t for your help these past few years, my family probably wouldn’t even have been able to eat. I, Xiao Sheng, am not someone who will burn bridges after crossing them. If there are any new things to sell in the future, I will definitely be give them to you first!”

Zhao Quan looked at Xiao Sheng’s nervous expression and thought for a moment. “Alright, I didn’t befriend you for nothing! Wait here, I’ll test the waters for you.”

Zhao Quan indeed wanted to stop Xiao Sheng and do this business himself, but he knew that he didn’t have enough connections and that he couldn’t afford it.

In addition, Xiao Sheng had clearly expressed that he would prioritize Zhao Quan in the future. He had worked with him for a few years and knew about his family’s situation. He also sincerely wanted to help him.

Seeing that Zhao Quan had agreed, Xiao Sheng finally felt relieved. He revealed a relieved smile and said sincerely, “Thank you, Brother Quan!”

Xiao Sheng waited on the spot for about an hour before Zhao Quan returned with a smile. “Brother Qiang is willing to see you. Be on your best performance later.

Zhao Quan packed his things and placed them in a hidden corner. He asked his acquaintances to keep an eye on them before bringing Xiao Sheng to a residential building.

There were three people in the room, and only a slightly plump middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa in the middle while smoking.

Zhao Quan took a step forward and bent down slightly. He said respectfully to the man sitting there, “Brother Qiang.”

Brother Qiang pointed at the stool beside him and said to Zhao Quan, “Sit.”

Zhao Quan quickly walked to the stool and sat down. He smiled with a respectful expression. “Brother Qiang, this is Xiao Sheng. He made a kind of jam a few days ago and wants you to try it.”

When Xiao Sheng heard his name, he immediately imitated Zhao Quan. He took a step forward and bowed slightly while greeting respectfully, “Hello, Brother Qiang.”

Qiang glanced at Xiao Sheng, then exhaled a mouthful of smoke and nodded.

Seeing this, Zhao Quan gave Xiao Sheng a look. Xiao Sheng hurriedly took out a bottle of jam from the basket and placed it on the table. The person standing beside him immediately went to the kitchen to take out a pair of chopsticks.

Brother Qiang smoked the cigarette in his hand slowly and slowly drank a cup of water. From the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Sheng standing calmly. He nodded with approval.

Brother Qiang opened the lid and took a sniff. Then, he picked up a piece of jam and placed it in his mouth.

He could taste the apple, but there was also a refreshing sweetness that didn’t belong to the apple. Brother Qiang couldn’t guess what fruit it was. Moreover, normal apple jam was golden yellow, but this bottle of jam was a bright rose red. Although there were some impurities, it was still bright red and beautiful. The sweetness was moderate. The key was that the refreshing sweetness of the apple and the unknown fruit was somewhat unique.

At this moment, how could Xiao Sheng not be nervous? Brother Qiang was expressionless the entire time. Xiao Sheng couldn’t tell if Brother Qiang was satisfied or not.
