Chapter 30 Collect the bracelet and buy some meat

People only saw a woman selling eggs there, and an old man not far from her.

He wore a straw hat and his face was covered with a piece of rag, so his appearance could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of sad eyes were visible.

The old man sat on the steps with his head down and a sad look on his face. His hands were tightly holding a gray handkerchief with something inside.

Jiang Zhizhi saw with his sharp eyes that it was the shape of a bracelet!

She was a little curious, and her intuition told her that this thing must be good stuff.

Anyway, Jiang Zhizhi has always believed in her sixth sense, and it is often this feeling that helps her escape many dangers.

Take a gamble!

Jiang Zhizhi said to Zhuanghan: "Wait for me."

The strong man nodded, thinking that the dark-skinned old lady was going to buy eggs.

He simply walked forward thirty meters, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then put his hands in his pockets and stared around.

Jiang Zhizhi walked quickly to the old man and asked in a low voice: "Old man, can you show me what's in your hand?"

Jiang Yuanfeng, who was worried sick, sighed quietly. His elder brother and younger brother had already joined his younger sister's team.

My eldest brother, younger brother and younger sister are full of energy that never runs out.

Forget it, he's kind of used to it...

My sister is someone who doesn't play by the rules.

Jiang Yuanyang came over carrying a basket. He and Jiang Zhizhi squatted side by side in front of the old man, their eyes brighter than the other.

Jiang Yuanshan hesitated for a while, took a deep breath, and squatted down.

However, Jiangyuan Mountain is too high, like a "moving mountain", giving people a strong sense of oppression.

The old man was startled and just as he was about to look up, he found his body shrouded in shadow.

Oh my goodness, this guy is so scary!

Jiang Zhizhi still had the appearance of a dark-skinned old lady. She was afraid that the old man opposite her would scare herself to death, so she hurriedly said:

"Old man, what are you selling? Can I see it?"

Anyway, the purpose of coming to the black market is to sell and buy things, otherwise why are you here to get some fresh air?

So Jiang Zhizhi asked directly.

The old man saw that the old woman opposite him was trembling, as if a strong wind blew and she immediately took off and flew confidently.

Are you really here to buy something?

The old man tried to hold back, but couldn't help saying, "I do have something I want to sell. Do you think it's suitable?"

The brothers breathed a sigh of relief, having almost forgotten that their sister had given them a major makeover before they came here. Even though their faces were covered tightly, their aura was still inadvertently revealed.

Oh! It seems like I made some money. I am so excited that I am crazy!

So the four siblings were startled, and the dog nervously started acting again to lower other people's guard.

The old man looked around, then loosened his hands and lifted up his handkerchief to reveal the bracelet inside.

Jiang Zhizhi stared, wow! It turned out to be the king of bracelets - Imperial Green!

It's really fate!

Stimulate!

Treasures of this level actually appeared on the black market!

Then Jiang Zhizhi thought about the current environment, where many treasures have been damaged or lost.

Food is still the most important thing in everyone's mind. In many people's minds, these jewelry are worthless, there is no place to sell them, and basically no one will spend money to buy them.

This imperial green bracelet is a very clear green with good color and water quality, and is a fat round bar.

The counterfeiting technology is not yet advanced enough these days, so Jiang Zhizhi is not very worried about buying fakes.

Moreover, in later generations, a bracelet of excellent quality imperial green can buy half a house in Kyoto! It is no exaggeration to say that!

"One hundred kilograms of grain coupons plus twenty yuan in cash." The old man took a deep look at the bracelet in his hand and sighed, "Sister, to be honest, I really asked for too much today. After all, if you take out this kind of thing, you will lose a lot of money even if you don't die. No one here is willing to accept it."

"But there's nothing I can do, old man."

There was really no other way. His wife suddenly fell seriously ill a few years ago and had a near-death experience, which almost drained her body.

All the remaining money in the family was spent on medical treatment, and food was running out day by day.

If they continue like this, they will have no food to eat and they will both starve to death sooner or later!

He and his wife have a son and a daughter. His son and daughter-in-law work in the county town, while his daughter married in another provincial capital and has not returned for several years.

The old man went to his son's house alone in the middle of the night, hoping to borrow some food from his son to tide over the difficult times. He would return the money to his son and daughter-in-law when he had food and money in the future.

But the son turned against him and sent the old man away with all kinds of excuses, allowing his daughter-in-law to hold a broom and curse him and his wife, calling them old fools. She blamed the two old fools for dragging them down after something happened, and said they had committed sins in their previous lives!

There is no filial son for a patient who has been ill for a long time. The old man’s love for his son has died, and he will no longer recognize this son.

Today was not the first time the old man came to the black market to sell bracelets, but every time he came to the black market he had to pay money to buy a number, and no one bought his bracelets after entering, so he already suffered a huge loss. Moreover, his wife was waiting for him to come back home, and she was afraid that something might happen to him in the black market.

If things continued like this, people would starve to death. The old man decided to take one last risk and go out to see if he could meet someone who was willing to use food stamps to buy the imperial green bracelet.

Jiang Zhizhi looked calm and said with a smile: "Okay."

The old man's eyes widened, and he spoke incoherently with excitement: "Sister? Do you really agree?"

Even if he could exchange his dreams for food coupons and cash, the old man would not want to wake up.

But his old partner is still waiting for him outside his dream, so he should wake up!

It's rare to meet such a straightforward person, this deal must be done!

The brothers were shocked, knowing that this thing was not worth anything at that time!

It's not the same environment as before.

Jiang Yuanfeng was a little worried, but he held back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

First of all, the money was earned by my sister!

Secondly, my sister has the final say over her own money!

Finally, my sister is smart and she must have her reasons for doing this.

In conclusion, my sister is not alone. Even if the sky falls, they are there to hold her up and help her run faster.

Don’t ask!

Just ask the girl’s little secret, don’t guess.

Could it be that my sister likes bracelets? The elder and younger brothers were puzzled, but they secretly took note of it.

Jiang Zhizhi took out twenty yuan and one hundred kilograms of food coupons from the space with his mind and put them into a black canvas bag. Then he lowered his head, unzipped the canvas bag, took out the cash and food coupons and handed them to the old man.

If you can still be a human being, then just be a human being!

She has her own principles. She will buy if the price is right. She will not bargain to lower the price of the elderly. 20 yuan and 100 kilograms of grain coupons are almost a month's salary for a worker in the county.

The two exchanged money and goods. The old man took a deep look at Jiang Zhizhi, who was wearing a black leather vest as an old lady, and then turned and left.

But, I said thank you in my trembling heart.

In this day and age, food is the most important thing. Food is life. Originally, these jewelry couldn't be sold at a high price. Today, he really met a kind person...

These days, no one is willing to buy them. No one is willing to pay a dime. They will give up if they take a second look at them. Besides, buying these jewellery will bring trouble, so the old man is very grateful.

Now he is going to buy food so that his wife can finally have food to eat and no longer has to worry about starving to death during this period!

Jiang Zhizhi put away the imperial green bracelet, even though the food coupons she brought with her were suddenly reduced by a quarter.

But Jiang Zhizhi felt it was worth it, and it felt great to have money to spend!

The four siblings continued to follow the strong man around with fear on their faces, and finally walked out of the black market.

Jiang Yuanfeng asked them to wait for him at the entrance of the alley while he went to pull the ox cart back.

After returning, Jiang Zhizhi confirmed that he really had to pay the parking fee.

After the four siblings came out, they didn't change their clothes in a hurry. Instead, they walked around the area several times. After making sure that no one was following them, they hid in an alley.

Jiang Zhizhi took two bottles of unlabeled cleansing oil, handed them to the brothers, and used them to remove all the foundation on their faces and hands.

She quickly removed her makeup and tidied herself up.

Soon, the four brothers and sisters finally got rid of the "coal black ball" vest and continued their journey in a refreshed manner.

.......

At 10:20, the four siblings rushed to the stall selling pork. They didn't know how they were lucky today, but they still had a lot of pork belly, lean meat, and ribs.

Jiang Yuanshan looked at his brother and sister and coughed: "Are you tired of eating meat?"

Jiang Zhizhi and Jiang Yuanfeng's eyes sparkled, and they said in unison: "Yes!"

Your tone should be as sincere as possible.

The thought of eating meat is so comforting! Meat is popular!

Jiang Yuanfeng smiled and watched Jiang Zhizhi shopping.

"Uncle, I want ten pounds of pork belly, ten pounds of lean meat, five pounds of big shank bones, and two pig trotters."

The uncle was very happy because the girl opposite him was a big customer!

But what’s interesting is that this family is actually headed by a little girl?

The uncle quickly cut the pork belly into just the right amount with his knife. In Jiang Zhizhi's opinion, the uncle was indeed very strong!

The uncle asked enthusiastically: "Girl, do you think this is enough?"

Jiang Zhizhi smiled so that her eyes looked like crescent moons: "That's enough."

The texture of these pork is very good, and you can tell at a glance that they are local pork.

Jiang Zhizhi's little head has already started to imagine how to cook meat dishes.

Braised pork! Pork stewed with vermicelli! Pan-fried tenderloin! Steamed meat cakes! Stuffed pork with green peppers!

Ahhhh, so delicious.

The uncle who bought the meat was very efficient. He put the packed pork in Jiang Yuanshan's basket with swift movements. He looked very friendly with a smile on his face.

"Pork belly is 86 cents per pound, lean meat is 65 cents per pound; two pig trotters are 3.5 pounds in total, and they are sold at 84 cents per pound; five pounds of big shanks, I'll charge you only 1 cent."

"It's nineteen dollars and four cents in total, and you have to pay for the meat coupons!"

Jiang Zhizhi gave the money and the meat ticket promptly. Any delay of one minute would be disrespectful to Rourou.

With a clear path forward today, Jiang Zhizhi decided to take the pork out of the space and put it in a backpack to transport it back.

It makes me happy just thinking about it.

Jiang Zhizhi used another quarter of his meat coupons.

But it’s not a big deal, just work hard and earn it back.

Jiang Yuanshan put some wild grass in the backpack in advance to prevent the blood from flowing everywhere.

Jiang Yuanfeng had a way to buy eggs without a ticket, so Jiang Zhizhi went to buy some local eggs.

The old lady selling eggs saw that she was sweet-talking, so she bought her a bamboo basket as a gift.

These eggs weighed about six pounds. While the brothers were walking in front chatting and laughing, Jiang Zhizhi walked behind them and quietly put two more pounds of eggs in the basket.

Jiang Yuanshan knew that his sister had other things to buy, so he simply suggested, "Do you want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Jiang Zhizhi looked at the time and shook his head: "Let's go to the state-owned hotel to eat first. Today is our first pot of gold!"

"My efforts have paid off, so I should reward myself, right?"

Jiang Yuanyang was the first to raise his hand to agree, and Jiang Yuanfeng smiled and added: "Since Third Brother is so enthusiastic, why not let Third Brother treat us this time."

Jiang Yuanyang put his hand down in a flash, and shamelessly held his second brother's hand, and rubbed his shoulders and back with a grin:

"I don't!

I have no money!

I am so poor!

Second brother, can you let me take advantage of your light?

Promise me!!!"
