Chapter 219: Picking up a big bargain

It was indeed a mink coat, and more than one.

Looking around, there were probably about seven or eight pieces, in various colors, long and short styles.

In addition to mink coats, there are also many brand-name bags, clothes and shoes from big brands, all for women.

But the stall owner was a man.

At this time, quite a few people gathered at the replacement booth, but they were just there to watch the fun and make jokes.

"Are you crazy? Why would you change into a mink coat in fifty-degree weather?"

"What's the point of those designer bags? Will the supplies you find with them be higher quality?"

"I guess he took it out and threw it away because it took up too much space at home, hahaha."

Annan walked over and took a closer look at the mink coats. The stitches were short and dense, and they were all made of top-quality mink fur.

This is a magical tool for keeping warm in extremely cold weather. In extremely low temperatures, no down jacket can be better than a good mink fur.

In a few months the extreme heat will be over, followed by six months of fog and then extreme cold.

These mink coats are perfect for when the temperature drops.

So I asked, "How do you change these things?"

The stall owner's eyes lit up.

He has been squatting here for two days, and all the people have come here to ridicule him. This is the first time someone has come to ask for the price seriously.

So he quickly replied, "I'll change it if you give me food."

Although every piece of clothing and bag here cost tens of thousands of dollars before the disaster, these things are not as useful as a roll of toilet paper now.

Annan frowned: "How much food?"

One grain or one pound, you have to make it clear.

The stall owner observed her expression and thought that she thought the items were not worth the money, so he immediately raised the price himself, fearing that he would lose his only customer.

"Beauty, for just two kilograms of rice, I'll give you all the clothes, shoes, and bags here."

"These are all my wife's things. Now that she is gone, it's sad to see them at home. These are 90% new, and she has never worn many of them..."

Before Annan could say anything, the onlookers started talking.

"Women are all about material things. Even in the end of the world, they still buy branded goods and mink fur for their homes."

"Spendthrift woman, two kilograms of rice can last a long time if you save it!"

Gu Zhiyu glanced at them coldly and asked, "Using your rice?"

Someone wanted to talk back, but was pulled away by the people next to him: "Stop talking, these people look like they have a lot of money."

The main thing is that the woman was carrying a gun!

Gu Zhiyu withdrew his gaze and was about to say "deal" when he was stopped by Annan.

She looked at the stall owner and said, "I just want these mink coats. Exchange them for two bags of cookies."

Just a mink coat?

The stall owner was stunned. Those clothes and bags were at least usable, but the mink coat was really just for display.

The temperature is over 50 degrees now. Let alone wearing them, he still feels hot even with these coats placed in front of him.

But he made a good deal by exchanging these useless mink skins for a day's food.

So he nodded quickly: "Sure. I'll switch with you."

Annan took out two small bags of biscuits from the backpack behind him, feeling very satisfied.

Two bags of cookies for eight mink coats. It's totally worth it.

In the extremely cold season, a mink coat was very expensive. Even if she didn't wear it herself, she could get a lot of it by exchanging it for food.

The stall owner took the biscuit, put it in his pocket carefully, and then helped Annan pack his coat.

The coats were very heavy, and eight pieces were too heavy for one person to carry, so Gu Zhiyu, Zhao Pingan and others came to help carry them.

The stall owner handed the clothes to them and continued to promote them:

"The other clothes and bags are also of good quality. Would you like to take them all, beautiful lady?"

Annan waved his hands in refusal.

Although she had abundant material resources, she still had to spend every penny wisely and not waste a single cent.

She has plenty of clothes and bags in her space, so what is the point of taking these second-hand ones back?

"If you still have mink coats at home, I can still take them, but forget about other things."

The stall owner was stunned for a moment.

Why does this beautiful girl like this useless thing?

Then he shook his head helplessly: "The coat is gone."

Then he asked curiously, "What do you need so many mink coats for?"

Annan responded casually, "It's a personal preference. I like winter and snow. I take things related to it and put them on display. It makes me feel good."

Gu Zhiyu on the side looked at her thoughtfully.

The man's eyes lit up when he heard this: "So do you want a snowmobile?"

Annan's eyes lit up: "Snowmobile?"

The man nodded and said, "Yes, I have another snowmobile. I bought it a year before the natural disaster and I haven't ridden it many times. If you want it, I can also exchange it with you."

Annan was secretly delighted.

This is a good thing, of course she can't miss it.

When the city is blocked by heavy snow and everyone else is trapped at home, isn't it possible for her to travel freely in her warm clothing and mink coat and on her snowmobile?

But he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said with some disdain: "The flood lasted for so long, your car should have been damaged..."

The man quickly explained: "It wasn't flooded. I had a small company in Zhongguan District before, but it went bankrupt. The lease hadn't expired yet, so I used the house as a warehouse. The motorcycle was stored there, on the eighth floor, and it wasn't flooded."

Annan thought for a moment, asked about the specific location of his company, and agreed to go to Zhongguan District to check out the goods tomorrow.

Then four people left carrying a pile of mink coats.

Zhao Pingan couldn't help but sigh: "My idol, your hobbies are the same as my mother's."

Annan looked at him and asked, "How is it the same?"

Zhao Pingan: "My mother likes fur. She loved buying all kinds of fur in the early years. Later, she thought it was cruel, so she changed to wearing artificial fur. I thought you young girls would not like these."

Annan pouted: "Why can't a little girl like fur?"

What's cruel or not? When the extreme cold comes, only those who are feeling the cold will know.

By then, not to mention being cruel to animals, people would be so frozen that they would want to strip their neighbors of their clothes and put them on themselves.

The four of them strolled around the market for a while. Gu Zhiyu didn't want anything, Zhao Ping'an found some ironware, and Chu Peipei took a fancy to some candles and toilet paper.

However, they originally planned to just take a walk and did not bring any supplies with them.

So they agreed on a price with the seller, and then they carried their coats back home, preparing to pick up supplies before going back.

When he came out for the second time, Gu Zhiyu did not follow him but stayed at home to prepare dinner.

Annan raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Comrade Xiao Gu, you are a good wife and mother!"

Gu Zhiyu smiled and said, "I will make sure my wife has food to eat when she gets home from shopping."

My dear wife?

Annan rolled his eyes at him: "Slippery tongue!"

Gu Zhiyu: “You like it.”

Annan: ...

He discovered it.
