My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 150: Big Order

Li Dagou calculated for a while and explained, "Miss Bai, we usually use standard-sized shipping containers, which can hold approximately 20 to 25 tons of bituminous coal. Last time, we used larger shipping containers and a lot of trucks to deliver your order."

"Unfortunately, there is a high demand for shipping these days, so the available larger container trucks are limited. All that is left are standard-sized shipping containers." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"We may only be able to deliver around 2,000 tons per day. What do you think about this arrangement, Miss Bai?"

Feng Xiyan still had some bituminous coal left, so she wasn’t in a hurry. Besides, 2,000 tons per day was not a small amount. It should be able to last for a while while the next batch is delivered.

After considering it, Bai Hanyun agreed. "Alright. Just arrange them as Boss Li says."

Seeing that Bai Hanyun didn’t end the call after closing the deal, Li Dagou thought for a moment and decided to strike while the iron was hot.

His mind moved quickly as he said, "Miss Bai, we just received a batch of high-quality firewood and smokeless silver charcoal."

"These two are our new products for the year. Since you are one of our biggest customers, I will give you some to try first. If you are satisfied with the quality, you can order them next time."

Listening to him promoting the new products, Bai Hanyun realized she had forgotten to send fuel to Feng Xiyan.

Rubbing her chin, she wondered, ’I don’t know what they are using for cooking these days. Since Feng Xiyan said there is not even a tree left in Xiqiang City, there should be no more firewood for them to use.’

’I heard that people can use biomass to cook, but the smell is very bad. High-quality firewood and smokeless silver charcoal should be better than using biomass or plant fossils, right?’

Having made her decision, Bai Hanyun asked, "Boss Li, what kinds of firewood do you have?"

When Li Dagou heard this, his eyes flickered as he thought, ’My guess is right! Miss Bai really does need firewood and charcoal!’

Trying to suppress his excitement, Li Dagou explained, "Miss Bai, we currently have several types of firewood in stock such as Oak, Hickory, Ash, Beech, and Maple. Each is top quality and has its own advantages."

"Firewood made from Oak has a high density, burns for a long time, and produces steady, high heat, making it ideal for wood stoves and fireplaces."

"Hickory is a dense hardwood known for its intense heat and long burn time, making it perfect for cold weather. Since it’s summer right now, the price is lower than usual. If you buy Hickory in winter, it might cost three to four times more."

"Ash is a versatile option that lights easily, burns with a consistent flame, and produces minimal smoke. It’s popular among customers for cooking, especially when camping in the mountains."

"Beech is similar to Oak, which is also a dense hardwood that burns slowly and provides strong heat."

"As for Maple, it offers a good balance between heat output and burn time, making it a popular all-around choice."

After listing the advantages of each type of firewood, Li Dagou asked, "Miss Bai, which one would you like to buy?"

Not sure which type would be best for Feng Xiyan, Bai Hanyun decided to buy all of them and let him try them out to see which was most suitable.

"Boss Li, I will take all types. Just give me..."

She paused and thought, ’Firewood is different from bituminous coal. Forging weapons needs coal, and only the Feng Army uses that. But everyone needs firewood to cook.’

’I should buy enough so that Feng Xiyan can distribute it to the citizens for home cooking. That way, he can stop providing porridge and help the people become more self-sufficient.’

With this in mind, Bai Hanyun opened her AI app and quickly calculated how much firewood 40,000 families would need for a month. A moment later, the result appeared, and she rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

’It’s estimated that I will need around 24,000 tons of firewood to supply 40,000 families for one month, not including the Feng Army. Looks like I will need to buy more.’

After waiting a while without receiving an answer from her, Li Dagou asked, "Miss Bai, how much firewood would you like?"

When she was asked, Bai Hanyun snapped out of her thoughts and replied, "Boss Li, give me 30,000 tons of each type first. How much will that cost?"

Li Dagou typed something on his laptop and opened the price list for the firewood.

As he checked the figures, he replied, "The oak firewood is 15 yuan per kilogram. Hickory is 25 yuan per kilogram. Ash is 4.5 yuan, beech is 5 yuan, and maple is 14 yuan per kilogram."

Upon hearing the prices, Bai Hanyun was stunned. She hadn’t expected firewood to be more expensive than bituminous coal. Just this one transaction would cost her 1.905 billion yuan.

Though her heart was bleeding, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, "Alright! Give me 30,000 tons of each type!"

Li Dagou nearly jumped out of his chair the moment he heard how much firewood she wanted. He had never imagined he would sell almost his entire firewood stock in a single day.

A few months earlier, when he’d ordered the firewood from his suppliers, he’d had a huge fight with his wife, causing her to return to her parents’ home. That business deal had even almost forced him to shut down his business.

Fortunately, Heaven had smiled upon him by sending Bai Hanyun, the Goddess of Wealth to his door!

Without her, he would have sunk deep into debt and possibly lost his family for good.

Now that she was about to clean out his firewood stock, Li Dagou was confident that his wife would finally stop being angry at him and return home after hearing this good news.
