Chapter 72 Meeting Qian Xiaoluo



Although they came to set up stalls early in the morning, they have not exchanged any useful supplies yet.

Many people simply passed by the gold and silver jewelry on their stalls, and some even complained, "It's the end of the world, who still wears jewelry?"

There were no people like the two in front of me who stopped to take a closer look.

So men should seize this opportunity. Maybe if he says a few more nice words, he can get some supplies back. After all, there is not much food left at home.

If they took these jewellery to the official stall, they could indeed exchange them for some supplies, but the official price was low, so the couple were a little reluctant to part with them.

"Let's take a look first!" Su Keke said lightly.

"Sure, you can look at it as you like!" The man smiled sincerely and stepped back to stand with his wife.

Su Keke picked up an emerald bracelet, which shone with emerald green light under the gentle sunlight.

Su Keke didn't know much about jadeite, but at first glance she felt that the bracelet in her hand was very beautiful and should be suitable for Grandma Qiao to wear.

So she showed the bracelet to Grandma Qiao, who was standing beside her, and said, "How about we try it on?"

"Let me try it on?" Grandma Qiao pointed at herself and asked, "Aren't you showing this to yourself?"

"I thought it suits you at first sight." Su Keke said with a smile as she looked at Grandma Qiao.

The couple who owned the stall opposite looked at each other and were very happy. It was a happy ending to be able to exchange something they had treasured for someone they loved.

"Then try it!" Grandma Qiao took off the glove on her left hand, and Su Keke couldn't wait to put the jade bracelet in her hand on Grandma Qiao.

Regardless of the material of this bracelet, the style and size are very suitable for Grandma Qiao to wear.

No matter how she looks at it, Su Keke thinks it is suitable, and Grandma Qiao likes it very much too.

Grandma Qiao doesn't know much about jade, but this bright green color should be quite valuable.

"How do you plan to exchange this bracelet? Do you want to exchange it for food or other supplies?" Su Keke asked.

"We...we want to exchange 10 packs of instant noodles." The man looked at Su Keke and tried to say.

"Exchange for 10 packs of instant noodles?" Su Keke confirmed again.

The man saw Su Keke asking again and thought that his price was too high. After all, instant noodles were in great demand nowadays.

Generally, people who have instant noodles will exchange them for other foods, such as vegetables and meat. No one is willing to exchange food for these jewelry.

"If you think it's too much, we can just take two packs. We have two children at home and have been craving instant noodles for a long time."

The man’s wife seemed to muster up the courage and explained to Su Keke.

It’s all for the children. Su Keke and Grandma Qiao were deeply moved when they saw this.

"How about this, give me the silver bracelet and I'll give you a box of instant noodles."

Su Keke said, pointing at the small silver bracelet on the corner of the table.

"Really?" The woman and the man's eyes lit up at the same time, afraid that they had heard it wrong.

You know, in the end times, a box of instant noodles is more than enough to exchange for all the jewelry on their table. Unexpectedly, the girl only asked for two bracelets, and one of them was made of silver, which was not worth much at all.

"Of course it's true!"

Su Keke looked at the big black bag she had placed on the ground. Fortunately, the Martin boots inside were in shoe boxes, so Su Keke used the space to replace them with a box of instant noodles and no one noticed.

"Here is a box of instant noodles. You must keep it safe. Go back early if you have nothing to do. Don't let others miss you."

Su Keke handed the big black bag to the man, and the woman also leaned forward. There was indeed a full box of instant noodles inside.

"Thank you so much!"

The two of them excitedly thanked Su Keke and Grandma Qiao repeatedly, thinking that they had met really good people today.

"You're welcome. We'll take your stuff, too."

Su Keke shook the silver bracelet on her hand in front of the couple.

After Su Keke left, the couple quickly packed up their stall and went home.

They were carrying a large box of instant noodles, but they didn't dare stay outside for too long. They took advantage of the fact that the neighbors on both sides were shopping at the market and went home quietly to avoid being seen and envied.

"It looks great, doesn't it? We each get a bracelet, so we can say we found something good today!"

Su Keke happily took Grandma Qiao and continued shopping. It turned out that without the pressure of life, it was relaxing to go out shopping in the apocalypse.

In front of the stalls there are antiques, calligraphy and painting stalls, summer clothing stalls, and stalls selling tonic products such as Cordyceps sinensis. Some people even bring out their pots and pans from home to trade.

"Do you think this cat food is edible?"

"She is exchanging cat food for food. Who would exchange white food for cat food? Is this woman crazy for food?"

"Yeah! In this world, people can't even be kept alive, so who would keep a pet?"

A man and a woman walking in front of Su Keke were pointing and talking at a small stall on the roadside, and their voices were so loud that they didn't even need a tweeter.

When she heard the word "cat food", Grandma Qiao was more interested than Su Keke.

She pulled Su Keke and rushed towards the place where the man and woman had just walked.

"Hey! Why is it you?"

Su Keke and Qian Xiaoluo said at the same time.

Qian Xiaoluo really didn't expect to meet Su Keke here.

She was deeply impressed by the beautiful girl who brought a stray cat to her store to buy cat food during the typhoon.

At that time, I regretted not adding her WeChat, but now fate has come.

"How do I exchange this cat food?" asked Grandma Qiao.

"Rice and water are both fine, just give them as you see fit!"

Qian Xiaoluo could tell that this grandma came with Su Keke.

She came here to set up the stall today with the mentality of giving it a try, and she didn't know if anyone would want the cat food.

Ever since she set up her stall, passers-by and the surrounding stall owners all looked at her as if she were a fool.

In the end times, people are going to starve to death, so who would keep pets?

"Are these a few bags of cat food all you have? Do you have any more at home? If you do, I'd like to take them all."

Su Keke whispered into Qian Xiaoluo's ear.

"There are some in the pet shop, but I can't carry them all by walking such a long distance by myself." Qian Xiaoluo said truthfully.

During floods, the water level almost rose to the second floor, and Qian Xiaoluo had to find a way to move the cat food to a higher place.

Fortunately, the landlord had a large stainless steel storage barrel on the third floor, which was round and 1.6 meters high. Qian Xiaoluo just moved all the stock in the store into it.

She herself followed the rescue team's rubber boat back home.

Her mother, Shen Sanmei, saw that she didn't bring back much supplies and never looked at her well.

If the flood in the store had not reached her residence on the second floor, Qian Xiaoluo would never have chosen to live back home.

The flood finally receded some time ago. Qian Xiaoluo cleaned up the silt and gravel in the store, let the damaged house bask in the sun for a few days, and then he couldn't wait to move back into the store.

Fortunately, the flood did not reach the third floor, and Qian Xiaoluo's things in the stainless steel storage barrel were still intact.

There are cat food and Qian Xiaoluo’s quilt and clothes in it.

Su Keke told Qian Xiaoluo that he could bring the supplies to her store to trade, as there were too many people here and it would be disadvantageous for both of them.

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you in the store tomorrow!" Qian Xiaoluo agreed readily.

When Su Keke left and continued shopping, Qian Xiaoluo also closed his stall. After all, the wind here was quite strong, and it made her neck feel cold.
