The old man was delighted to see someone squatting in front of his stall.
He quickly started to introduce: "These are all the insights I gained from my research.
It has a very good effect in improving the problem of fruit trees not bearing fruit and not surviving.”
His tone revealed deep reluctance and helplessness.
These things are the results of a lifetime of research. Who would be willing to sell them, if it weren't for my wife's poor health?
He was in urgent need of money to go to the hospital for treatment, but he was reluctant to sell it.
But seeing how interested this person seemed, my stuff finally had a good home.
“How do you sell these?”
Lu Zhiye asked calmly, but he had no intention of lowering the price.
The old man rubbed his hands and said cautiously, "Ten dollars, do you think it's okay?"
As soon as he said this, the people setting up stalls nearby looked at him as if he were a fool.
Ten yuan for this crappy book. The scrap collection station won't even take two cents for it. Ten yuan?
This old man looks honest and decent, but I didn't expect he is such a greedy person!
There was a flash of embarrassment in the old man's eyes. He knew very well that the price he quoted was not ordinary high.
But this is the only thing we have left in the house, and we have sold everything that can be sold.
The old woman coughed so badly that the hospital said it would cost at least ten dollars to cure her.
He is also helpless...
Lu Zhiye didn't agree immediately because there were too many people here and it would be hard to tell even if he was willing to spend so much money to buy it.
I’m afraid the old man will also be targeted.
Whether you can take this money back home is still a question.
Seeing that Lu Zhiye stood up and was about to leave without saying a word, the old man grabbed his arm and said anxiously: "Five dollars! No less.
These things are not available outside.”
"Comrade, don't be fooled, I have seen the book above him at a scrap collection station.
This little thing is not even worth 50 cents. If you really want these things, go to the purchase station and you may be able to buy more."
The man setting up a stall nearby leaned on his backpack and looked at the old man with disdain.
There were a few people who were interested in the past few days, but they were all scared away by his exorbitant asking price.
Lu Zhiye looked at the old man's exposed arms, which were skinny and slightly bruised.
You can almost guess what's going on without having to think too much.
A bold idea came to his mind, he gently stroked the old man's arm and said gently: "Uncle, I need to buy some other things.
I'll look at these things again when I come back."
When the old man heard him say this, he put down his arms dejectedly.
These are all nice excuses given by others. I'm just afraid that today's trip will be in vain.
Is this his and his wife's fate?
Lu Zhiye did not stay here for long and walked quickly to the alley at the end.
After entering the house, a voice that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female came from inside: "What news do you want?"
Lu Zhiye didn't feel strange when he heard his deliberately lowered voice.
If you are in the business of selling information and don't cover it up, you are courting death.
"I want a detailed distribution map of the major forces."
"Detailed or general?"
"What's the difference?"
The man paused, sat up straight and said: “The detailed price is high, but the forces under the control of several families can cover it.
In general, it just describes the distribution areas of several companies, etc.
It depends on your needs.”
Lu Zhiye spoke in a southern dialect: "Then I must have details, what's the price?"
"Ten dollars."
"Ten bucks? Why don't you just rob it?"
Lu Zhiye shouted loudly. It seemed that the fact that he had just asked the old man for the price had already reached this person's ears.
He really thinks of himself as a fool with a lot of money.
“As for news, it depends on whether you think it’s worth it.
For outsiders like you who have just arrived in Beijing, this price is not expensive.
After all, if you offend someone, you can’t get rid of it with just ten dollars.”
Lu Zhiye snorted and muttered, "I didn't do anything, and you want me to pay you ten dollars. Impossible!"
As he spoke he turned around and made as if to leave.
The man in the room felt a jolt in his heart. Is this someone who is not easy to fool?
He coughed lightly and said, "This is the first time we deal with each other, so how about this, five dollars and you can take the stuff.
We can be considered as friends.”
“Three!”
"make a deal!"
Lu Zhiye: To paraphrase Captain Lu, the price is too high...
When Lu Zhiye went out with a thick stack of papers, there was a crowd of people outside.
Many people were running into the alley with baskets on their backs.
Lu Zhiye quickly tiptoed to look in the direction of the old man, but there was no one there.
He felt a little regretful, but the loud shouts of several people that followed made him forget about it.
"Red Sleeves are coming!"
Lu Zhiye quickly followed the group and ran into the alley.
The exit of the black market was connected to three or four alleys, and everyone fled in all directions at this time.
It seems that he has experienced this kind of thing many times.
Lu Zhiye ran into a dead end and was about to climb over the wall to run out when he was interrupted by a voice.
"Young man, come in quickly!"
Lu Zhiye looked up and saw that the person calling him was none other than the old man who sold books before.
Seeing that more and more people were coming behind him, Lu Zhiye no longer hesitated and slipped into the old man's yard.
