Chapter 788 New Year's Eve (XIV)
"Second sister, do you want to go to the black market?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister.
"I do." After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister immediately looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with shining eyes.
After hearing the second sister's answer, Lu Xiaoxiao said to her, "Then I'll take you to the black market today."
"real?"
"Um."
"Then let's go quickly, otherwise it will be two o'clock soon."
"Um."
Lu Xiaoxiao brought her second sister to the entrance of the black market. She took out a dollar from her bag and handed it to the guard, then took her second sister into the black market.
"Xiaoxiao, why did you give that guy a dollar just now?" the second sister asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Everyone who wants to enter the black market has to pay 50 cents to the black market people before they can enter."
"Why?"
"Because if you pay them, they can protect your personal safety."
"oh."
"Second sister, since we are here at the black market, see if there is anything you want to buy." Lu Xiaoxiao said to the second sister.
"good."
The reason why Lu Xiaoxiao came to the black market today was, firstly, to avoid Chen Qingqing, and secondly, to buy a small stove, because she found it was really inconvenient not to have a small stove in winter.
"Xiaoxiao, can you lend me some money?" the second sister asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"What do you want to buy?"
"I want to buy a cigarette for my dad, because my grandma broke his previous cigarette."
After hearing what her second sister said, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded at her, then took out ten yuan and handed it to her second sister.
"Xiaoxiao, you don't need so much money. My dad bought that cigarette for three yuan before."
"Things on the black market are more expensive than outside. You definitely can't buy them with three dollars."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the second sister took the ten yuan that Lu Xiaoxiao handed to her, but she had already made up her mind that if the price of the cigarette holder was more than five yuan, she would not buy it.
"How much is this?" The second sister walked to a stall selling cigarette pipes, picked up a cigarette pipe and asked the stall owner.
"Eight."
“So expensive?”
“That’s the price on the black market.”
After hearing what the stall owner said, the second sister put the pole back and took Lu Xiaoxiao away.
"Aren't you going to buy it?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister.
"It's too expensive. I only have six dollars left from my personal savings, which is not enough to buy a pipe."
"How much did you plan to pay for that pipe?"
"Five dollars."
"I'll go ask for you."
"Um."
"Comrade, can you make this pipe cheaper?"
"No bargaining, eight dollars a stick."
"I'll trade you 3 kilograms of rice."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the stall owner immediately asked Lu Xiaoxiao: "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. Just tell me whether you want to change it or not."
"Change."
After hearing the stall owner's answer, Lu Xiaoxiao said to her second sister: "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon"
"good."
After leaving the black market, Lu Xiaoxiao found a deserted place, took out three kilograms of rice from the space, and then returned to the black market.
"Here are three kilograms of rice. Please weigh it." Lu Xiaoxiao said softly after handing the rice to the stall owner.
The stall owner took the rice that Lu Xiaoxiao handed to him, weighed it twice and said, "No need to weigh it. Take your pipe away."
"Second sister, which one did you pick just now?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked her second sister.
“This one.”
"Comrade, we want this one."
"Okay, take it." The stall owner said after looking at the cigarette holder in Lu Xiaoxiao's hand.
