Ji Xia had originally planned to find a small alley to grab some food, but just as she turned in, a young man wearing a tattered cotton jacket and a dog-hole hat came over and asked, "Miss, do you want to buy anything?"
After saying that, he waved a Shanghai brand watch in front of Ji Xia.
Needless to say, Ji Xia knew that this person was probably a person involved in the so-called black market speculation. He must have seen that she was well dressed and was sneaking into the alley in the middle of the afternoon, so he thought she was going to buy things on the black market.
Ji Xia glanced at his watch and asked, "How much?"
"If you want it, I can sell it to you cheaply. It's not expensive. This is the number." The man gestured one and three.
Ji Xia knew it was one hundred and thirty.
She frowned, and the man was afraid that she would leave, so he held her back and said, "Miss, if you miss my village, there will be no other place to go. I didn't offer you a high price..."
"You've got the wrong person. I'm here to sell something." Ji Xia said, and took out a watch from her pocket, but it was not a Shanghai brand, but a Tissot, an imported watch.
When this man saw that it was all in foreign languages, his eyes turned green. He suddenly looked up at Ji Xia, with a hint of malice flashing in his eyes. Obviously, he had the intention of robbing her.
Ji Xia sneered, and when the man reached out his hand, he grabbed his wrist. With a slight force, the man felt a sharp pain. His whole body went limp and he shrank to the ground, begging for mercy, "Mercy, mercy, comrade, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to steal your things."
"What's your name?"
Chen Dadong knew that he had hit a wall and was very regretful. He should have understood long ago that in this situation, the person who could get the imported goods must not be an ordinary person, and he should have explained his origins clearly.
"You said this black market is your territory?" Ji Xia said.
"Yes, yes, big brother. Oh no, big sister, if you have any instructions, just tell me. I will do my best to satisfy you." Chen Dadong's wrist was still held by Ji Xia's iron-like hand.
He had no doubt that if Ji Xia exerted a little more strength, he would no longer need his arm.
"How much do you think my watch can be sold for?" Ji Xia asked.
"If you use industrial tickets, you can sell it for 500. If you don't use industrial tickets, you can sell it for 800. There are many people who want it. If you are lucky, you can even add another 100." Chen Dadong didn't dare to play any tricks.
Ji Xia put the watch away and said, "I have a batch of goods. Please help me sell them. If you can help me find a suitable buyer, I will give you 100 yuan."
Chen Dadong asked, "Sister, what kind of stuff is this? Can you show it to me?"
"You tell the other party that I have whatever goods they want. If they have industrial tickets, I'll give them the tickets. If they don't have industrial tickets, then there's no need to give them the tickets."
Chen Dadong was even more afraid to neglect her. His heart tightened, knowing that he had followed the right person. "Sister, bicycles, watches, TVs, etc."
Ji Xia couldn't help but think of the saying, 'Poverty limits imagination.' She said, "What flies in the sky, what walks on the ground, what exists in the sea, the rice cooker in the kitchen, the TV and electric fan in the living room, the down quilt in the bedroom, there's nothing I can't bring out, except what you can't imagine, understand?"
Chen Dadong swallowed his saliva and nodded in confusion, "I understand, I understand, sister, this...how much does this cost?"
"Contact someone and find a place. Tell me the time and place, and I'll go set up in advance, and then you can bring the people over. Remember, if you have cash, pay with cash. If you don't have cash, pay with yellow fish. If you don't have yellow fish, jewelry and antiques can be paid. However, if anyone tries to fool me and uses fakes, he should be prepared to die. You have to remember this."
"Yes, yes, I remember, I remember everything!" After Chen Dadong finished speaking, Ji Xia let go of his hand, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, prostrating himself on the ground.
"When you're done, wait for me at the entrance of the People's Hospital!" Ji Xia ordered, and Chen Dadong naturally obeyed.
When Ji Xia walked out of the alley, she was carrying a canvas bag on her back. In the bag were barbecue skewers, beer, meat buns, a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge, a bowl of fish soup, and some fruits that she had taken out from the space.
In the ward, Qin Xiao woke up after a nap. After the anesthetic wore off, the wound still hurt a little.
Gao Zan was sitting next to him, accompanying him on the bed. He heard some noise and looked up. Ji Xia had come in. He hurriedly said, "Comrade Ji Xia, you've come just in time. I was just about to go get some food. I'll bring you whatever you want!"
Ji Xia put the canvas bag on the table, took out food from it, and placed it on the table one by one.
"No need, I bought everything, come and eat!"
Gao Zan was stunned when he saw the table full of meat. The aroma of barbecue filled his nose, stimulating his mouth, which had not tasted meat for a long time, and he began to saliva wildly. He swallowed hard, and the sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet ward.
He was extremely embarrassed.
Qin Xiao felt extremely embarrassed and glared at him fiercely. Gao Zan quickly covered his face with his hands.
Ji Xia took a handful of skewers and handed them to him, "Eat it, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
She also wanted to eat barbecue skewers today, so she took them out directly from the space and took a bite. She was so spicy that her mouth was watering. The aroma of cumin stimulated her taste buds. It was so delicious.
Ji Xia was so spicy that she stuck out her tongue. She opened the beer can with one hand and took a sip. It was cool and refreshing, which whetted her appetite.
Gao Zan took the mutton skewers handed to him by Ji Xia and took a bite. The spiciness made tears flow to his eyes. He shouted, "Delicious, so delicious, spicy enough!"
As he spoke, he gave Ji Xia a thumbs up and said, "Comrade Ji Xia, where did you buy this?"
