Brother Chen smiled, his eyes looking much smaller on his slightly overweight face. "Still staying at the trading post tonight? Lao Li told me this is Chocobo territory, and you're not accepting orders from Chocobos, so the old prices apply."
"Oh, I know, I know. Can Brother Chen please ask a few more people to take my horses down to rest."
"no problem!"
"What are you doing so late at night?" Brother Chen had noticed that Ningxia had been eavesdropping for a while. Seeing that she was dressed like a refugee and smelled bad, his tone was not very friendly.
"Hello, I'm here to exchange salt."
"What do you want in exchange?"
Ningxia was prepared. She took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag and opened it. To hide her identity, she even wrinkled the paper covering the cigarettes. She handed one out and said, "Brother Chen, can I use this?"
Brother Chen's eyes lit up, but he wasn't exaggerating. He took it, sniffed it, and looked at the label on the cigarette holder. "What a good thing! It hasn't gotten damp at all. It wasn't cheap before the disaster."
Ningxia smiled and said nothing.

"Your accent is obvious, it's pretty much the same as our Xuanwu. How many do you have?"

She didn't tell the truth. They found seven unopened packets in the cabin. She gave one packet to Zhang Guihua and had six packets left on her.
Brother Chen didn't think it was too little. "It's not a small amount. If you replaced all the cigarettes with salt, you wouldn't be able to carry it on your back. How about looking at something else?"
"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Chen."
Brother Chen took Ningxia straight to a huge shelf. The entire bank hall was filled with such shelves. There was a standing booklet in front of the shelf, which listed what was on the shelf and how much it cost.
Ningxia raised her eyebrows slightly. This shopping feeling is really nostalgic.
She called Sangsang and Lin Yi over. Of course, they had to do this kind of experience-enhancing thing together.
Lin Yi didn't care. He stood aside and watched the two women getting excited without feeling anything. Ningxia looked at Sangsang who was also happy, and secretly sighed, women, they are all born the same.
