Similar to the county town, the night market in the city is also located in an extremely hidden place and is quite large in scale.
There is no way. These days, even for city dwellers, it is not easy to feed and water a whole family with just the limited supplies.
Going to the night market to trade has become an excellent place to fill your stomach. As long as you are willing to spend money and tickets, you can most likely buy what you want at the night market.
Li Jinfeng changed into old clothes full of patches that were only worn in the production team, put on some ugly makeup, carried 20 kilograms of fine grain, and went to the night market in the city.
Li Jinfeng looked around and found that everyone was cautious and alert.
That’s right, night market business is not something that can be done openly. If you get caught, you will be in trouble.
Li Jinfeng stood there for a while. Then an old woman, carrying a large basket on her back and walking with a limp, came up to her and asked, "Girl, do you have any food to exchange?"
"Yes!" Li Jinfeng nodded.
"Do you have any fine grains? Can you exchange some for me? I'm really starving!" the old lady said to Li Jinfeng.
Li Jinfeng took a look at her and saw that she was indeed skin and bones, and even her eyes were dull.
"Come with me to find a place where there is no one!" said Li Jinfeng.
After all, the city is not her territory, so Li Jinfeng can only be extra careful.
When finding the right person to exchange with, you must be careful about being lured. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that all the people you meet are good people.
She and the old lady left the night market one after another and finally arrived at a deserted place.
"Old lady, how much fine grain do you want?" Li Jinfeng asked.
"How many do you have?"
"Twenty kilograms!" Li Jinfeng said, and let the old lady take a look at the ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of flour in her bag.
"It's really fine grain..." The old lady was so excited that she couldn't speak.
She fumbled to take money from her bag.
According to the price at the city's night market, this high-quality fine grain costs five yuan and a half per pound.
Twenty kilograms is one hundred and ten yuan.
One hundred and ten yuan… The old lady paused as she touched the money, then blushed and said to Li Jinfeng, “Girl, I only have twenty yuan. But I have something else. Can I… can I exchange it with you?”
As the old lady spoke, she took out a solid gold bracelet from her bag. The bracelet was inlaid with a red gem.
The style of the bracelet is not complicated, but when paired with the emerald, it feels just right.
"And this, too!"
This time, the things were taken out of the old lady's pocket. They were a pair of earrings. The gems on the earring pendants were made of the same material as those on the bracelet. They were obviously a set.
"My daughter, this is all I have! If it's not enough, I..." The old lady was afraid that Li Jinfeng would not exchange food for her.
She has been wandering around the night market for several days but hasn't met a suitable buyer.
If she doesn't meet him again, she will really starve to death.
"Enough, enough!" said Li Jinfeng.
The two people exchanged, and Li Jinfeng took the bracelet and earrings.
The old lady carried twenty kilograms of fine grains, and the two of them parted ways.
When she left, the smile on the old lady's face was so bright, like a blooming flower.
Li Jinfeng sighed, went back to the night market and continued shopping to see if she could find any used clothes for sale.
