The three of them continued to walk forward, and people kept asking them if they wanted this or that.
Yang Qing stopped when he saw people selling jade and gold and silver jewelry.
Although the space has not been upgraded yet, I always feel that these things are still useful to the space.
I saw a small jade Buddha pendant, which was very green and clear. It was made of K white gold and decorated with diamonds on the edge. It would be very beautiful as a clavicle necklace.
"How do I change this?" Yang Qing asked.
"Ten pounds of broken rice." said the stall owner.
Yang Qing shook his head, "It's too expensive!"
Antiques were valuable in prosperous times, and gold was valuable in troubled times. But now in the end times, these are no longer valuable.
Food is king.
"Eight kilograms." The stall owner said helplessly, "I spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy this before."
Li Shengnan laughed, "Eight kilograms of food, even if you spend tens of thousands of dollars now, you can't buy it. It can't be compared with the past!"
"I know." The stall owner had a painful look on his face. In fact, he was reluctant to sell the food, but he really had no rice to cook. He couldn't let everyone go hungry during the New Year.
"Seven pounds, no less."
Yang Qing didn't say anything. She saw a diamond ring next to it and picked it up to look at it. "How about this one? How do I change it?"
"This requires one hundred kilograms of grain," said the stall owner.
"One hundred kilograms?" Li Shengnan exclaimed. "Diamonds are just a tax on my intelligence. You're selling them for more than jade. Do you think we're stupid?"
"That's because you don't understand." The stall owner said anxiously, "This diamond ring was bought by my son-in-law from an overseas auction house. It cost tens of millions."
"A few tens of thousands?" Yang Qing was shocked. "You're not trying to trick us, are you? Are you willing to sell something worth tens of millions?"
"Isn't it because we really have no choice but to have nothing to eat?" The stall owner said helplessly, "My daughter went abroad and married a wealthy businessman. They were very loving and he was willing to spend money on her."
"But, after the end of the world, my daughter... this is her relic. I know I shouldn't take it out to exchange for things, but she has a child, and I have to help her raise the child, otherwise how can I be worthy of her?" The stall owner's eyes turned red.
"She said at the time, this isn't an ordinary diamond, it's a meteorite diamond. I have a certificate," the stall owner said, holding out the certificate. "Look, it's written right there. That's why I even checked online."
"The diamonds we usually know about are diamonds, which are solid carbon materials and are more common. Another type is meteorite diamonds, which are said to have been formed from an asteroid falling from space."
Yang Qing picked up the certificate, which had a very detailed description, saying that meteorite diamonds were a type of extraterrestrial micro-diamond material newly discovered in falling meteorites. Its formation was related to the index of new particle discoveries in today's high-energy particle physics and condensed matter physics. The existence of meteorite diamonds could be called "cosmic sacred stones" and a gift from God.
Yang Qing didn't know whether this certificate was exaggerated or false, but she thought of Dr. Zhang.
Dr. Zhang said that they discovered some secrets from the meteorite and extracted a box of mysterious blue injections from the meteorite that could change the world.
Although Yang Qing didn't know what they were, they were all related to meteorites.
And that purple crystal stone seemed to be an alien object as well. Its energy was so terrifying that she didn't dare to carry it with her and kept it at home.
She was afraid that she would forget that thing when she entered the space, causing the space to collapse, so she never wore it and kept it in the bedside table.
This meteorite diamond may not have the same energy as the purple crystal, but it may have some effect.
Yang Qing nodded, "I want it!"
"What?" The stall owner and Li Shengnan shouted at the same time. Li Shengnan hurriedly advised her, "Yang Qing, you have to think carefully. That's a hundred kilograms of grain. This diamond ring is completely useless."
"Besides, I don't know if this certificate is real or fake, so don't be fooled."
"Of course it's real!" The stall owner was unhappy. "Would I talk nonsense about my daughter's relics?"
He looked at Yang Qing again, "Do you really want it? You can't regret it after you change it!"
Leng Yi looked at Yang Qing. Although he didn't understand why Yang Qing insisted on having this diamond ring, since she liked it, he would just change it.
"If you really want it, I'll give you this jade pendant!" said the stall owner. The girl didn't even bargain, so the jade pendant was a bonus.
He didn't expect the diamond ring to be sold. Even if someone wanted it, they would probably cut the price in half. Since she didn't bargain, why not give her something as a gift?
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Yes, I like it very much."
"Yang Qing..." Li Shengnan looked disapproving. Food was so hard to come by at that time. That was one hundred kilograms, not just one or ten kilograms.
"It's okay. I have plenty of fish at home that I can exchange." Yang Qing said to Li Shengnan, "I really like it. I like it more than any amount of money can buy."
Li Shengnan was a little helpless. She didn't expect that Yang Qing, such a rational person, would also have such a willful side.
She knew she had much more food than they did, but she didn't expect them to waste it like this.
"One hundred kilograms of food is not a small amount. We can't trade here, right?" Leng Yi reminded, "Should we go somewhere else?"
"Yes, yes!" The stall owner nodded quickly. He was also afraid that the food he got here would be snatched away by others.
"Please take your things to the department store," Yang Qing said to the stall owner. "I happen to have an acquaintance there. I'd like to borrow a hundred kilograms of grain. There are troops stationed there, so it's safer to trade there."
"Okay, go quickly!" Leng Yi immediately realized that Yang Qing wanted to get food from the space. No matter how big her bag could hold, it was impossible for her to carry a hundred kilograms of food around, right?
"Shengnan, let's help this guy pack up and go to the department store." Leng Yi said to Li Shengnan, deliberately delaying her.
"Okay!" Li Shengnan nodded.
Yang Qing quickly ran towards the department store, actually ran to a deserted place, took out two 50-kilogram bags of rice, and pushed them out on a small cart.
When Leng Yi and the others arrived, Yang Qing was already waiting for them next to the department store.
"Look, it's all here." Yang Qing pointed at the food. "The cart is also for you. Do you want to wait for someone to come and get it?"
"Okay, I happen to have an acquaintance in the department store. I'll go and call him," said the stall owner.
He called someone to watch over the food, then gave the diamond ring and jade pendant to Yang Qing. Seeing that she gave him a small cart, he also gave Yang Qing a gold ring.
"Thank you, girl!" The stall owner was very grateful. He didn't expect that he could actually exchange it for food.
"Be careful when you go back. There's a lot of food here, and many people are watching it." Yang Qing reminded.
"Don't worry!" said the stall owner's friend. "I have a car. I'll use it to transport it back later."
"That's good!" Yang Qing nodded and put the things away. "Goodbye then!"
