Faced with the old woman's pleading, Feng Qingxue hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to the deal. She took out twenty kilograms of cornmeal and ten kilograms of flour and exchanged them for two pieces of chicken blood stone, a box of pine soot ink, a copybook, and a Qing Dynasty official kiln brush washer given by the old woman.

The old woman felt a little embarrassed, after all, these things were worthless now.

Jewelry and exquisite clothes are considered the root of capitalist corruption. Only hedonists pay attention to these things. Therefore, the country's banks recycle gold and silver dollars but not jewelry and jade. Antiques, calligraphy and paintings cannot be sold at a high price. People who have these things can only secretly try their luck in the black market, because after all, there are people in the world who recognize the value of things and like them.

So, after the transaction was completed, the old woman stuffed a small cloth bag into Feng Qingxue's hand before leaving.

Feng Qingxue waited until she left before opening the cloth bag, and found that it actually contained a very delicately carved jade pendant. It was made of top-grade Hetian white jade, delicate and lustrous, pink and white, with a gold-sprinkled skin. Although it did not reach the whiteness of mutton-fat jade, it was only a step away. Half a century later, many jade merchants sold it as mutton-fat jade.

After collecting the things she had exchanged today, Feng Qingxue went to the scrap yard for a while, and before going home, she went to visit Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu.

Uncle Xu was not at home, and Aunt Xu smiled when she saw her, "Qingxue, you came at the right time. Our old friends brought us a lot of good things, and we wanted to ask you to exchange them for some fine grains for the New Year. I am sorry to trouble you again."

"What's the trouble? Auntie's friends have given me a lot of things." It's just an exchange, each taking what they need.

Aunt Xu pulled her into the house and handed her four wooden boxes of different sizes.

"They are all the families we helped before. It's a matter of life and death, so we are not afraid of them leaking secrets. Besides, if it's not a good thing, they can't give it to us. After all, no matter how good this thing is, it can't compare to hard currency."

"What good stuff did you give me?" Feng Qingxue asked with a smile. At the same time, she opened the box and couldn't help but shudder all over.

The good things that Aunt Xu talks about are really good things, and can be called the best.

A set of old-fashioned ruby ​​headpieces, made with gold filigree craftsmanship, the quality is needless to say, every ruby ​​has reached the standard of pigeon blood red, especially the gems inlaid on the five-tailed phoenix hairpin, which are red and large, bright and flawless, and full of brilliance.

An old mine glass-type jade bracelet. Although there is not a pair, there are pendants, rings and earrings made of the same material, all of which are inlaid with platinum bases from the Republic of China era. The texture of the jade is clear and full of water. The most rare thing is that it is full green and crystal clear all over. It is the best jade that Feng Qingxue has never seen in her past and present life. It must be worth billions in half a century.

The largest rectangular box contained a scroll, which, when unfolded, turned out to be an authentic work of Wu Daozi, a priceless treasure.

There was only one ring in the smallest box, a huge vivid blue diamond ring, sparkling and bright. Its design style was exactly the same as the set of pink diamond jewelry she had received before, but its value was far greater than that set of diamond jewelry.

After reading them one by one, Feng Qingxue was shocked.

"These things are too precious!" She felt that no matter how much food she had, it would not be worth it.

Aunt Xu waved her hands. "What's the use of precious things? In troubled times, people would hide their most precious things, but these things are not worth eating or drinking, just like the people who climbed up a tree with only gold ingots but no food when encountering a flood. If they had hidden fewer jewelry and antiques and more food, we wouldn't be in this situation now."
