Chapter 171 Lizi

Cao Li was really worried that they would continue to buy food, so she stood up and said, "I'll go to the front to check the fabric. We'll meet here in an hour."

After saying that, he strode away without looking back.

She reminded herself that wonton pancakes were delicious but too expensive, and only tasted good when eaten.

It would be better to eat steamed buns, which can still fill your stomach, and use the money saved to buy a piece of cloth and make a shirt that you can wear for many years?

With this in mind, it’s still more cost-effective to buy fabric.

Unfortunately, the fabric is too expensive, so I have to save money for several months.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s good for her to come first to broaden her horizons.

Chu Hong and Gu Ci did not object. At this moment, their attention was attracted by the young man who was talking to Uncle Cheng.

The young man, who looked ordinary and was dressed in ordinary clothes, was complaining that he had not received many good things recently, but many people came to ask for good things.

Uncle Cheng also smiled and said, "I want a bicycle too. If you receive one, please let me see it first."

The young man nodded: "Okay, I'll let you know when I have news."

Then he said to Uncle Cheng, "If someone comes to ask you where to collect something, you have to ask them to come to me."

Uncle Cheng agreed immediately: "Of course, we think you still have some conscience."

The young man was unhappy when he heard this: "Just a little bit?"

Chu Hong and Gu Ci looked at each other and slowed down their eating. When the young man finished his wontons, wiped his mouth, and stood up to leave, they followed him.

They had already quietly changed their own watches and put on the watch they were going to sell.

Although I'm not sure if this guy is really fair, it doesn't hurt to ask first if I meet him.

The man in front was also very alert. He stopped and looked at them not long after walking. "Why are you following me?"

He didn't take action because there was a young girl among the two people who followed him.

But one hand was placed in his pocket, clenched tightly, just in case.

Gu Ci took a step forward and showed the watch on his wrist: "When we were eating wontons, I happened to hear you packing up your things."

"The family is in urgent need of money and we want to replace the watch."

He was also being ambiguous in his words. I was afraid that if I asked to change the watch, he would lower the price.

The addition of the word "want" means that if you are not satisfied with the price he offers, you may not necessarily change it.

When the young man heard what he said, his attitude improved a lot: "Can you show it to me?"

Gu Ci handed him the watch.

He first looked at the watch carefully, then put it to his ear to listen to the sound of the watch hands, and then gave it back to Gu Ci: "This one is only 70% new, can I give you 100 yuan?"

Chu Hong looked dissatisfied: "This Plum Blossom watch cost 140 yuan when I bought it? And it also came with a watch ticket."

"Now there is only one watch ticket out there, and it costs at least 80 or 100 yuan. Your price is too low."

The young man smiled helplessly: "The main reason is that this watch is really old and the wear and tear is too obvious. It's hard to sell it even if the price is high."

"Even if I accept this watch, I will only ask for 120 yuan at most. If they give me a few yuan or ten yuan, I will sell it."

This is definitely an exaggeration. He wouldn't be willing to spend less than 150 yuan on a watch like this.

They came here to trade, so no matter where the watch came from, he would not ask.

There is no need to ask further questions. As long as you can get real benefits, that is what matters most.

There are so many people who want watches under his name, and he can earn dozens of yuan by reselling them, which is equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary worker.

Having tasted such sweetness, few black market traders are willing to leave, even if they might lose their lives if caught.

Gu Ci said, "One hundred and twenty is for you."

"No, I won't make any money then." The young man shook his head bitterly, "Just 110 yuan, otherwise I will really lose money. I dare not take over your business."

Chu Hong lifted her sleeves and showed him the watch on her wrist: "This is a pair of watches, 90% new, what's the highest you can offer?"

At the beginning, they deliberately used cheap watches to test the waters. Only when they saw that the price he offered met their expectations would they take out better watches.

The male bedroom boy took a deep breath, as if he suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. He rubbed his eyes and pretended to be calm and said, "It's actually a Rolex. Do you really have a pair? Can you open my eyes for me?"

This watch looks high-end and classy, ​​so he must accept it.

Even if you have to pay a little money, you should accept it. It can open up a channel for yourself and give yourself more options.

Chu Hong had studied psychology after all, and she could guess some of his thoughts from his expression: "This watch is hard to buy in Shanghai. It is definitely out of stock."

"It was bought by an elder in the family who used his connections to buy it for us when we got married."

She took out a men's watch wrapped in a few handkerchiefs and handed it to him: "One price, six hundred and eighty yuan."

Chu Hong had asked Gu Ci before, and he found out that the price of this pair of watches was about 400 yuan, not including the ticket price.

But anything will definitely be sold at a lower price when it is sold, so Chu Hong called out a high price to leave him room for bargaining.

The young man must have come from a wealthy family before, which is why he is so familiar with these luxury goods.

Looking at the men's watch in his hand, he likes it very much.

Of course, as for the identities of the man and woman in front of him, he thought in his heart: judging from their appearance and speech, they don't seem like country people, and it is possible that they have fallen on hard times like himself.

It may also be obtained through special channels, such as a joint defense team.

If it was the latter, it would make him even more wary.

After all, those people are like crazy. If you are targeted by them, you will be skinned alive if you don't die.

He asked tentatively: "How about I take all three watches for 700 yuan?"

Gu Ci took out another watch: "Here is another one, we want 600 yuan."

"Ah?" The young man suspected that he was wrong. How could there be a fool who would not increase the price and automatically deduct some money?

Gu Ci added: "But we also need 50 kilograms of meat coupons, 50 kilograms of cotton coupons, 10 cartons of cigarettes and 10 bottles of wine."

"If not, some jewelry will do."

Chu Hong told him that the current purchases were not worth much, but if he could get good ones, the value could increase by hundreds or even thousands of times in the future.

After hearing this, Gu Ci felt a little bit unbelieving.

But he could see that Chu Hong really liked these things.

Now that he has the chance, of course he wants Chu Hong to be happier.

If he had said from the beginning that he wanted gold and silver jewelry, the young man would have understood what he was planning.

But he wanted meat and cotton coupons first, but the young man was more willing to offer gold and silver jewelry.

Nowadays, few people dare to wear gold and silver jewelry openly, for fear of being criticized for having ideological problems.

Some of the oppressed people would secretly hide some good things and would exchange them for food or medicine from him.

There are also some people who got their good things through improper means, and they would come to him to exchange them for watches, bicycles or various bills.
