Chapter 344 Another Baby

After Qiao Yu took Luo Zhenzhen and Hua Yue out, they went straight to the market.

It’s not too late now, and there are still many people in the market.

Qiao Yu and the other two first went to their own grocery store, greeted Ding Baian and the others, and then went directly to the stall area in the middle.

Qiao Yu was still quite unfamiliar with the vendor area. After all, apart from the time when he first entered the base, he had hardly ever been there.

On the contrary, Luo Zhenzhen and Hua Yue were quite familiar with this place.

Luo Zhenzhen, in particular, is particularly familiar with the regional divisions here because she often comes here with Cheng Sinian to inquire about information.

Qiao Yu looked at Luo Zhenzhen, who was so excited that she was talking a lot, and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Zhenzhen, why are you so happy? Don't you and Cheng Sinian come here often?"

Luo Zhenzhen pouted. "That's different! Every time Ah Nian brings me here, he has a mission. When we're shopping, I have to keep my eyes and ears open. It's exhausting. And every time Ah Nian goes shopping, he says everything looks good when I ask him. He doesn't have any opinions at all. It's really boring."

Qiao Yu couldn't help but laugh.

As expected, when it comes to things like shopping, girls have more common ground.

Many of these vendors were members of the base's mercenary hunting team, and the goods they sold were mostly items they had collected during their missions.

However, commodity prices are very different from before the end of the world.

Before the end of the world, people had enough to eat and enough clothes to wear, so generally speaking, the lower the demand elasticity of a product, the cheaper the price would be; while the prices of products with high demand elasticity, such as various luxury goods, would often be prohibitive.

But now, when survival has become a problem, naturally no one will pay attention to those luxury goods.

There are all kinds of mini bags from big brands on display, but people won't even glance at them because they are completely useless. On the contrary, the prices of those practical daily necessities are usually not too low.

But for Qiao Yu and the other two, this is definitely a good opportunity to "take advantage of the situation"!

"Boss, how much is this bracelet?" Hua Yue picked up a ruby ​​bracelet in front of a stall. After looking at it carefully for a few seconds, she took the bracelet and asked the stall owner.

The stall owner didn't answer immediately. Instead, he calmly looked at the three of them for a few seconds before saying with a flattering smile, "Beautiful lady, you have a good eye. This is pure gold, and the jade beads on it are also Hetian jade. The price is not expensive. Just give me twenty crystal cores!"

Qiao Yu had never seen these things after the apocalypse in his two lifetimes, so he was not familiar with the prices. When the stall owner said twenty crystal cores, he thought it was okay. They were not short of money anyway, and since Luo Zhenzhen liked it, he might as well buy it.

But just as Qiao Yu was about to take out the crystal core, Hua Yue beside him suddenly frowned, "Twenty crystal cores? Are you robbing me?"

Qiao Yu paused after hearing this and silently withdrew his hand that was about to take the crystal core.

Huayue had often been around the market stalls before, so she knew full well that few people would buy jewelry like this. Even selling it for five crystal cores was considered a high price, and this person was asking for twenty. Was he taking them for a ride?!

Luo Zhenzhen sneered upon hearing this and asked directly, "Would you like to sell the two crystal cores?"

"Two crystal cores? Beauty, you're chopping too hard! These are pure gold!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhenzhen immediately put the bracelet back to its original place, pulled Qiao Yu and Hua Yue and turned to leave, "Let's go look somewhere else, it's not like this is the only store that has it."

"There might be something better somewhere else!"

"Hey, hey, hey... beauty, don't go, don't go. We can still negotiate the price..." The stall owner quickly reached out to stop her, "Hey, beauty, look, it's not easy for us to go out and get some things back, right? Just add a little more!"

Hua Yue paused, turned her head to look at the stall owner, and scanned his stall again. Then she leaned over and picked up a gold bracelet with jade beads. She said to the stall owner, "How about this? These two bracelets, with a total of seven crystal cores, how about that?"

The stall owner looked reluctant, but when he saw Hua Yue's hand was about to drop, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll just consider it a friendship!"

Qiao Yu sighed inwardly upon hearing this: "Luckily I didn't take out the money just now." He then reached into his pocket again, and just as he was about to take out the crystal core from the space, Hua Yue got there first.

Hua Yue handed the crystal core to the stall owner, then held up the two bracelets in front of Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen as if presenting a treasure. "Ayu, Zhenzhen, these are for you. Take a look and pick whichever you like."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen exchanged a glance, both of them a little stunned. "Give it to us?"

"Yes." Hua Yue nodded. "Thank you for helping me when I was in trouble and accepting me into the team. I am really grateful to you. This is just a small token of my appreciation. It's not expensive, so please don't despise it..."

"What are you talking about?" Qiao Yu glared at Hua Yue in feigned anger, "How could we possibly dislike it?!"

"That's right!" Luo Zhenzhen nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Zhenzhen, which one do you like?"

"I'm fine with either. Sister Qiao, you pick first."

"Okay, then I'll take this one." Qiao Yu took the bracelet with jade beads from Hua Yue's hand and asked Luo Zhenzhen to put it on her wrist.

Then he took another one and put it on Luo Zhenzhen.

"Does it look good?" Luo Zhenzhen waved her hands and asked happily.

"They look good." Hua Yue looked at Luo Zhenzhen's hand, then at Qiao Yu's hand, "They both look good."

The three of them then continued to stroll around.

In line with the principle of reciprocity, Qiao Yu and Luo Zhenzhen also gave Hua Yue the same gift as a gift to welcome her to join the team.

Qiao Yu gave her a jade bracelet, and Luo Zhenzhen gave her a pair of earrings.

Normally, the market would be open until 8:30 in the evening, but it was gradually getting darker, the temperature was getting lower, and the fog was getting thicker.

The vendor area was not small, and the three of them spent more than two hours browsing less than half of it.

Qiao Yu was afraid that Jiang Zhan would get angry if he stayed out for too long, so he prepared to go home.

But just as the three were about to leave, Qiao Yu suddenly noticed a faint green light among the goods displayed by a vendor in front of him.

Qiao Yu walked closer and found that it was a bracelet made of jade beads, and the glowing object was one of the beads on the bracelet.

Qiao Yu could tell at a glance that this jade bead, like the jade ring they had found in Guojia Village before, had a space inside it!

Her previous guess turned out to be correct.

This kind of jade with space is of the same species, or it is very likely to come from the same jade mine.

Qiao Yu stretched out his hand and was about to pick up the bracelet, but he touched the hand of another woman who also wanted to pick up the bracelet.

Qiao Yu turned his head and met the woman's eyes.

It turned out to be Tang Ran.
