Chapter 370: Equivalent Exchange

All these stalls are engaged in barter, exchanging food for the things they have.

Xiang Yu didn't know the use of these things, and was curious, so he stood in front of a stall and looked at them again and again.

The stall owner was an old man with a haggard face. Under the white light shining from above his head, a flattering smile was plastered on his wrinkled face.

Her face was full of flattery and her attitude was particularly enthusiastic. After waiting for a whole day, a customer finally came. How could she not be excited?

"My beautiful lady, what do you want? Let me tell you, if you use this thing on your body, it is guaranteed to make a man feel extremely happy with you. And this and this, these are all good things..."

She told Xiang Yu the wonderful uses of these things one by one, and kept stuffing them in Xiang Yu's direction.

"What's the use of this thing..." Xiang Yu took the opportunity to pick up a red fruit from the basket and asked.

The old man thought for a while, "This thing seems to be able to feed a plant similar to creeper. I heard that after the plant absorbs red fruits, it will grow white fruits, and humans can eat that kind of fruit, but I don't know if it's true..."

The old woman was also a little uncertain, she just knew to pick those things, because the big guys in the R City Shelter would take a fancy to them anyway.

I heard that there are experts doing special research inside. Ordinary people like them may not understand, but there are experts in the shelter who will know.

The last time, some experts came out to buy these things in large quantities. That was a really good time, and she also had a rare chance to have a full meal.

"Big sister, what are you still thinking about? Just take them all. These things are in hot demand here..."

Afraid that Xiang Yu would not buy it, she kept pushing things towards Xiang Yu.

"Her ones are not good looking. Why don't you take a look at mine? Mine are much better than hers..." a forty-year-old man at the stall next to her shouted to Xiang Yu.

"Get out of here, you young man, how dare you steal business from an old woman? Do you have any shame..." the old man cursed and then looked at Xiang Yu with a warm smile on his face.

"Sister, do you like any of them? Do you want to take another look? If you have any questions, you can ask me..."

There was always an expression of careful flattery on her face. Before the end of the world, she had been growing some vegetables and selling them.

In the past, if she met a buyer who thought the price was too high, she would still give him a cold shoulder, but after these few years in the apocalypse, life has smoothed her edges.

"Girl, I have some better quality ones here. Why don't you come and take a look? Let me tell you, the expert from the shelter bought a lot from me before."

The man next to him was trying his best to sell it. Seeing that Xiang Yu was interested in the red fruit, he picked up a basket at his feet.

There were indeed some red fruits of particularly good quality in the basket, which showed that one had to be particularly careful when picking them.

“Girl, look at mine, mine is much better than theirs,” another stall owner stood up next to the man.

It is generally difficult for them to meet a customer, and most of the time they have to sit here for several days before someone in the shelter comes out to buy these things.

At once, more than a dozen stall owners surrounded Xiang Yu, holding no less than a dozen things picked from unknown plants.

And everyone can explain the characteristics of these plants, which shows that they must have done some research themselves.

After asking about the characteristics of these things one by one, Xiang Yu decided to exchange with them. "As for food, I only have sweet potatoes and some dried vegetables. If you are sure you want to exchange, I will bring the food here tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, it's all right. Whatever you say is what's going on."

The group of people were not picky at all. As long as they could exchange for some food, it didn't matter what it was, as long as they were edible.

Although they would pick these fruits, they did not dare to eat them because the experts in the shelter had clearly stated that these things were not edible by humans.

After Xiang Yu identified which stall owners they were, she left, saying that she was going to prepare food. In fact, she turned around and started strolling around R City.

Surrounding the R City Shelter is a small, busy street with many dilapidated houses on both sides of the street.

The place was full of survivors. Perhaps because they had not had food for a long time, some of the children had lost their energy, so they gathered together and sat on the side of the road.

Playing in the mud under the street light, his eyes were empty and numb.

The adults were also wearing dark and tattered gray clothes. They were leaning on the stone pillars on both sides of the street. When they saw Xiang Yu passing by the door, they couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Seeing Xiang Yu's attire, they all thought that Xiang Yu was an upper-class person from R City, especially the backpack he was carrying.

There must be a lot of food in it, and they were all envious.

It would be great if I could also be arranged to enter R City.
