Chapter 47 Chapter 47 The people in the new market are still very "friendly..."
Looking at Brother Wang who brought the person to the location, gave a few instructions and left directly, Old Li smiled and approached his neighbor Chang Ruijia.
"Little girl, are you new to this market? If there's anything you're not familiar with, just tell me. You were brought here by Brother Wang, so I'll be happy to share everything I know."
Chang Ruijia was packing up her things when she saw the warm-hearted Lao Li next door. She smiled and nodded, "Thank you, big brother. This is indeed my first time attending a market like this. Please be kind if there's anything I'm not familiar with."
"It's okay, it's okay. My last name is Li. You can just call me Brother Li. I will definitely treat you like my own sister, don't worry." Old Li rubbed his hands and said with a smile on his face.
After thanking the enthusiastic Old Li, Chang Ruijia looked curiously at the other people around who were exchanging coins.
After all, it was her first time attending such a strictly ordered market, and she was very curious about everything happening around her.
If she hadn't just arrived at the market and hadn't had time to familiarize herself with everything around her, she would have just taken her bed and walked around the market.
Restraining her curious heart, Chang Ruijia took a deep breath and focused all her attention on this spot.
When she learned that the location here was not fixed, she was always curious. If someone was about to go out to exchange something they wanted, when they came back, would the location be taken by an unrelated person?
However, since the people who planned this market were able to achieve such results, such a small problem that everyone can think of should not be missed. There must be something that she has not thought of yet.
As her eyes swept over the floating objects of everyone around her, Chang Ruijia suddenly discovered that the small wooden sign she had found on the stall in front of Brother Li next door was actually in front of everyone.
This must not be an ordinary little object. When she took a closer look, she found that there were words carved into the wooden sign.
[Trading Area: Row 3, No. 26]
Recalling the several straight lines of people she saw before entering the trading area, Chang Ruijia suddenly understood what the small wooden signs were.
Just like the shop numbers when shopping in the past, the number written on this wooden sign should also be the number of Chang Ruijia’s current location, used to distinguish the locations assigned to different people.
Thinking of the bell that the guide had thrown to her at the end, Chang Ruijia had an idea and took it out and hung it on the concave position of the wooden sign. Sure enough, it was embedded in it perfectly.
It seems that this should prove that there is actually someone in this location.
Even if someone wants to paddle out with their own float to exchange it later, there will be no problem of mistaken possession due to temporary departure.
After figuring out the use of this thing, Chang Ruijia couldn't help but memorize the number in front of her firmly in her mind.
If I'm not mistaken, as long as he stays in this trading area, this number will be like her business card and must not be lost.
After discovering the most important thing to survive in this market, Chang Ruijia's heart, which had been suppressed and was eager to get familiar with the environment, suddenly started beating.
There shouldn't be any problems if I go out for a stroll now, right?
However, before she could back out of the parking space she had already reversed into, the side view that she had previously ignored due to her curiosity made her pause.
"Brother Li, is there anything else you want to say?" Chang Ruijia turned around and looked at Old Li who was staring at her movements, raised her eyebrows and asked suddenly.
"Ah, actually, it's nothing." Startled by Chang Ruijia's sudden action, Old Li couldn't help but rub his hands embarrassedly, looking at him curiously and said, "I just want to say, since the girl has entered the exchange area of the market, she must have something in her hand that can be used for exchange, right?"
"Ah, there are a few inconspicuous things. What's the big deal? Does this market have requirements for the supplies that everyone brings?" Chang Ruijia looked at him puzzledly.
But just now, when she was observing the surrounding situation, she clearly found that many people around her also had many inconspicuous little things in their hands. And if there was such an unwritten requirement, the person leading the way would definitely tell her in time, right?
At this time when everything is in short supply, Chang Ruijia doesn't think that people here will make distinctions between the high and low quality of materials. Anything that can sustain life is a good thing.
In response to Chang Ruijia's confusion, Old Li quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, how could there be such a rule? Our market is very open and inclusive."
If a large number of potential exchangers left the market because of his careless words, he would definitely not be able to bear the blame alone.
In that case, what else did he have to say? Chang Ruijia saw that his expected answer was rejected, and then looked at Lao Li who suddenly stopped her with even more puzzled eyes.
"Well, what I mean is..." Looking at Chang Ruijia's eyes, Lao Li hesitated for a moment, then said sincerely, "There aren't many honest people in this market. If you rashly take your things out, people will definitely think you're a newcomer and easy to bully, and they'll directly lower the price."
"But I'm here for you!" Old Li patted his chest. "Since you're the new guy brought in by Brother Wang, I'll sacrifice some of my own time to give you a helping hand. This will also help prevent you from getting hurt when you go out to exchange."
Chang Ruijia originally thought that he was going to talk about some unwritten rules, but unexpectedly, he actually asked her to put out all the things she wanted to exchange for a look.
Looking at Lao Li's righteous expression and his eyes rolling around, Chang Ruijia took back the words of refusal she was about to say.
Don't think that she doesn't understand what Lao Li's purpose is in talking about all these things. Isn't he just trying to find out about her background?
And if you find that what she has is good, before she puts all the stuff on the market, why not use the advantage of being a close neighbor to purchase a large batch of it?
"But this is my first time at this market. You are already an old hand here, and I'm afraid you won't be impressed by my little things." Chang Ruijia said to Lao Li, pretending to be reluctant to take them out. He also raised his voice to attract the attention of several people around him who had been observing his identity as a newcomer.
"What's the big deal? Don't worry, Brother Li is an honest man, he will definitely not dislike what the girl has in her hand." Old Li said it very nicely, but there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.
He knew that these little girls definitely didn't have much useful stuff in their hands. They were all chattering and doing nothing every day. Even if he was lucky enough to appear in this sea area with them, he would definitely be the one holding them back.
After a while, after he tricked the girl into giving him all her things and got to know her thoroughly, if there happened to be something popular in the market, he would try to establish a long-term cooperation with this girl who looked young and inexperienced, buy her things at a low price and then sell them on the market at a high price.
By then, after converting the money back and forth and having completed this entire transaction without any loss, he might have made a killing. Then he would see if those people around him still dared to look down on him secretly.
If this girl doesn't cooperate, don't blame him for killing the goose that lays the golden eggs!
Old Li was immersed in the joy of getting rich in the future, although he didn't notice the mocking curl of Chang Ruijia's mouth after seeing the gleam in his eyes.
She didn't even need to express this little thought, she just said everything in her heart with those two sentences.
She could hear the calculations in her mind even from two miles away.
"I've never seen anyone talk about coveting someone so brazenly!" Before Chang Ruijia could take the next step, the girl on the other side of her started to mock her.
Seeing the threatening look Old Li was giving her, the girl snorted disdainfully, "It's no use waiting for me. I'm just watching here today. If you dare to fool this little girl, I'll immediately overturn your stall!"
"Tsk, just because you're a girl you can fool people so easily?" As if she had been fooled before, the girl looked at the wrinkles on Lao Li's face and said, "Why don't you just try it yourself and see."
Turning around and seeing the look Chang Ruijia was giving her, the girl lectured her directly without any hesitation.
"How long have you been in this world? How can you still believe someone's words? Be more careful. If I don't tell you directly, will you take out everything?"
Seeing Chang Ruijia dumbfounded and silent, the girl said angrily, "How come you still act so innocent while trying on clothes? You'll understand everything after you've been beaten twice."
Chang Ruijia didn't even have time to say anything before she saw the girl next to her opening and closing her mouth and scolding her directly, without giving her any chance to react.
She knew the truth of the matter, but looking at the two people beside her, one of whom was fooling her and the other was protecting her like a child, Chang Ruijia had only one question in her mind.
She didn't even say a word, so how could she be sentenced to death?
"Um, can I say something?" Looking at the girl next to her who was arguing with Lao Li with all her might, Chang Ruijia, who was sandwiched in the middle, stretched out a hand tentatively, asking to interject a word.
"Speak!" The girl, who had just rendered Old Li speechless, turned around and saw Chang Ruijia trying hard to be well-behaved. She suppressed her anger and tried to speak in a friendly manner.
"Even if I don't take the things out now, I will still have to set up a stall here in the future, right? Taking it out earlier or later, there shouldn't be... much difference?" Chang Ruijia said cautiously, looking at the girl's increasingly gloomy face.
"You!" Seeing Chang Ruijia's rebuttal, the girl almost gasped and transferred all her anger to Chang Ruijia. Fortunately, Lao Li shared the firepower in time.
"That's right, my sister is right!" Old Li looked at the girl who couldn't control her anger with disdain, as if he had gained some support. "I know you misunderstood me when you first came, but Xiao Qu, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. You won't ruin my reputation in front of others, right?"
"You! Shut your stinky mouth!" Thinking about how she had just arrived at the market and had been tricked out of her first batch of supplies by Lao Li's eloquence, the girl called Xiaoqu couldn't help but continue swearing.
That incident was an eternal pain in her life. The price she paid for trusting other people around her was that she had only just begun to recover. Now, seeing a girl as innocent as she was about to fall into danger again, he would not let Lao Li succeed so easily.
Silently suppressing his impatience, Xiao Qu took a deep breath as he saw that Chang Ruijia's words made sense. "You're right. It's your freedom to tell her when you want to tell her, but don't worry, I will definitely not let you end up like me, losing both your money and your life."
Seeing Xiao Qu's hatred for him, Lao Li gritted his teeth in hatred, regretting that he had not done things thoroughly enough and dragged this woman into an irretrievable situation.
Who could have thought that she would recover so quickly and was now trying to influence his next plan?
"Don't worry, sister. Brother Li is trustworthy, so don't believe what that crazy woman says." Old Li assured Chang Ruijia seriously.
Looking at the two people in front of her arguing with each other, Chang Ruijia responded with a coquettish "Okay", not knowing whether she believed what the man said.
However, after seeing Chang Ruijia clean up the things at the end of the bed and prepare to put out the supplies that were placed outside for exchange, the two of them temporarily put aside their tit-for-tat expressions and focused together.
At the beginning, the things Chang Ruijia put at the end of the bed were just razors, skateboards and the like.
Old Li on the side gradually looked disdainful. If you say these beatings are useful, they are indeed useful, but if you say they are useless, there are many things in the existing market that can replace them, and some can even play a better role. These things are far inferior to the existing ones.
"Is that all you have?" If Old Li didn't want to lose face right now, he would have almost been unable to conceal the disdain and irritation in his tone, and said to Chang Ruijia with disdain in his eyes.
This little thing is really not worth his effort.
"Can you even talk? You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth." Xiao Qu rolled his eyes at Old Li beside him, then looked at Chang Ruijia and said soothingly, "It's okay. The market is huge, and there will always be people who are interested in what you have. Don't be discouraged, there will always be a way out."
"Ah? Just this little thing?" Looking at the completely different reactions of Lao Li and Xiao Qu beside her, Chang Ruijia had roughly understood the nature of their respective reasons for coming to her, so she stopped perfunctorily answering them.
Noticing the looks from Lao Li and Xiao Qu because of her words, Chang Ruijia smiled shyly, and her hand speed of taking something out of her pocket became faster and faster.
There were priceless fruits at the market, wide car tires with a diameter of one meter, and some system products that had been left behind...
Every time something was placed in front of Chang Ruijia, the two pairs of eyes beside her became increasingly hotter, staring straight at the things in Chang Ruijia's hands, and the breathing sounds around her even became heavier.
