Chapter 017 Definitely a Bestseller

"Want some chicken?"

"No," Tang Yuan shook his head, "I can't afford it."

"It's only two dollars and fifty cents this time," the other party said. "Don't be too high. I'll give it to you for two dollars."

Tang Yuan looked at him intently and sneered, "Heh, give me back the money I gave you last time."

"Three bucks last time was a good deal, this time the chicken is a little smaller," the man held the chicken in his hand, "I've seen people who stole the money, but I've never seen anyone stole the money like you. To be honest, this time I'm really calculating, it's only two bucks and fifty cents."

"It's impossible," Tang Yuan said with regret. After all, her real body was still in the hospital. If she took it back now, even if the temperature in the game space was suitable, it would not last long. "But where did you get so many chickens?"

"Never mind that."

"Oh..." Tang Yuan deliberately stretched out his voice, "It seems you have a special way."

"Go away," the other party waved his hand, "If you don't want to buy, don't look at it."

Tang Yuan smiled and lowered his voice: "Do you want cloth?"

As soon as she said this, the man who had just been full of disgust and vigilance suddenly perked up and came up to her and asked, "Do you have a piece of cloth in your hand? What kind of cloth?"

To get chickens and eggs, you have to find a hill where no one can see them, raise them quietly, and then sell a batch every now and then. But cloth is not that easy to find.

If you really want to do it yourself, you need to grow cotton, weave cloth, and dye it. None of the steps are easy to achieve, so you can only find a way to exchange money for cloth coupons.

But there was not much cloth circulating on the market these days, and the few cloth coupons given to workers in most families every month were just enough for their own use, so there was no way they would have any extra.

So even if you took the money, it would be difficult to exchange it for cloth coupons.

Thinking of this, he looked at Tang Yuan with even greater anticipation, hoping to hear good news from her.

They do this kind of secretive business, so even if they buy cloth, they can't openly use too much of it. But they can't show it outside, but they can use it inside. If they earn money but don't spend it, they always feel that the money is wasted.

"What kind of cloth do you want?" Tang Yuan asked.

"Of course it's comfortable fine cotton cloth. Money is not a problem. Do you really have money? How much cloth do you have? I tell you, don't underestimate me. This is not the first day I've been here. I'm not short of money. Just bring the things here, and you will never be treated unfairly." The man spoke tirelessly, trying to persuade Tang Yuan to take out more cloth.

After all, judging from the expression of the person in front of me, she must have a lot of cloth in her hands.

Tang Yuan saw what he meant and couldn't help laughing, thinking that if she took them all out, this man wouldn't be able to eat them.

She stood up and said, "Next time we meet, I'll tell you."

"Hey, here's the chicken. I'll give you two dollars." The man stuffed the chicken in his hand into Tang Yuan's hand.

"I really can't get along." Tang Yuan was in a dilemma. Although two dollars was cheap, if it got damaged when he took it back, wouldn't it be more troublesome?

"One dollar, no less, this is a loss-making price," the man gritted his teeth, "really, you can't buy it anywhere else at this price, you won't get a bargain if you miss this opportunity."

one dollar.

This is really cheap.

Tang Yuan looked at the straw rope that had been stuffed into her hand, and finally took out a dollar and gave it to him.

At worst, I can find a way to sell it.

"When will you come back?"

"I'll be here in five days. If no one is here by then, I'll postpone it for one day. Don't worry, I'll definitely come." Tang Yuan whispered and left from the back carrying the chicken.

After leaving the black market, she headed straight for the scrap yard.

In the past month or so, she went to the scrap yard once and took some old-looking ancient books, calligraphy and paintings from Shen Wenyu. She did not make any transactions and was in a hurry.

She was saving up game coins to buy toilets during this time, and most of the things she grew were sold to the system, not even exchanging them for fabrics. After she had finally saved enough money, she planned to go back to her old business and continue selling fabrics.

After walking for a while, she came to the door of the scrap station and saw Shen Wenyu chatting with someone. She hid in the dark and didn't go forward until the person left.

"You're here." Shen Wenyu saw her and smiled.

Ever since she gave the piece of red cloth Tang Yuan gave her, she received waves of compliments at the wedding, and her attitude towards Tang Yuan could not be better.

Regardless of how much those ancient books, calligraphy and paintings can be sold for, just because Tang Yuan can get the red cloth that others can't, this person is worth associating with.

Even her greedy look was no longer so unpleasant to the eye.

"Here you go. It's useless anyway." Shen Wenyu took the initiative to give the newspaper he had read to Tang Yuan.

She was at the waste station and knew that old newspapers could not be sold for much money, so she usually threw most of the newspapers she read directly into the waste paper area after reading.

As for the things in the scrap station, she is still very professional. She will spend money to buy them and will not take them for free.

Tang Yuan was not polite and directly put the newspaper into his backpack. He shook the chicken in his hand and said, "Do you want this?"

"You don't want it?" Shen Wenyu was surprised. "Last time, didn't you protect her like a hen protecting her chicks?"

"Who is the old hen?" Tang Yuan bared his teeth and snorted softly, "Do you want it or not? If you don't want it, I'll give it to someone else."

"Yes, yes, yes. Why don't you want it? This chicken is hard to buy. How much is it?" Shen Wenyu asked.

"Two dollars and eighty cents." Tang Yuan slightly reduced the price of the chicken by two cents, and the price was just not lower than the market price. Seeing Shen Wenyu counting the money, he directly put the chicken in his hand on the table.

As soon as he stood up, he stretched out his arms towards Shen Wenyu.

Shen Wenyu put the money in her hand willingly this time. Although two yuan and eighty was the market price, chickens were hard to come by and she couldn't go to the black market. It was naturally good that the chicken could be delivered to her door today.

"By the way, a few days ago, someone came and sold a lot of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings. They looked a bit like old things to me, so I specially kept them aside for you to take a look." Shen Wenyu said as she took Tang Yuan to the waste paper pile and pulled out a pile of books, calligraphy and paintings that she thought were old things.

Tang Yuan simply pulled them all to his feet.

"Don't you want to take a look?" Shen Wenyu asked her.

Tang Yuan looked at her and said, "Can you understand it just by opening it? Our goal is to kill someone by mistake rather than let him go. If there is something here and we lose it, wouldn't that be a pity?"

"That's right," Shen Wenyu suddenly realized. "By the way, there are people coming here to sell books these days. See if you need any and pick them up yourself."

She remembered that Tang Yuan had picked out a lot of textbooks before.

Tang Yuan pulled out a high school textbook.

"You watched it when you were in high school?" Shen Wenyu asked her.

"I'll keep them for now." Tang Yuan took out several high school textbooks one after another. She remembered that the college entrance examination would be resumed soon, but she was a little confused and couldn't remember whether it would be next year or the year after.

But no matter what year it is, by that time, high school textbooks will definitely be best-sellers.

She stockpiled them first, and when the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, she would sell them out in minutes.

At this time, she bought by weight at the scrap station. She bought a dozen books at a time for only a few cents. When she went back to sell them, she quoted a price of one dollar per book and made a fortune.

Thinking about this, she quickly found a pile of high school textbooks and placed them in front of her.

Shen Wenyu was about to say something but stopped. After thinking for a while, he realized that these were just the price of waste paper and not worth much money. Tang Yuan picked out these few for just a few cents, so he just bought them.

She went back to the door of the scrap yard and sat down. She looked at the chicken on the table and thought about the taste of the chicken. She couldn't help licking her lips. She hadn't eaten chicken so contentedly in a long time.

Everyone in the family will definitely be happy when we get this chicken back.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuan had already picked out a pile of books. There were too many things to carry, so she took out a sack from her bag and put all the books in it.

Before she took it to the door to be weighed, she said, "Bags can't be counted. Should I take it out and weigh it?"

"Come on, is this little weight worth your effort? I'll just reduce it for you," Shen Wenyu stopped him quickly, "I'll reduce your money too. Really, you're just wasting money, you don't look like someone who's short of money, why are you so stingy?"

"If I had money, I wouldn't come out to do these things." Tang Yuan took out a few cents and watched her weigh them.

Shen Wenyu looked at her and thought to herself, if she really had money, she wouldn't take such a risk.

She didn't say anything more. She did the math for Tang Yuan, added a pound of weight and then calculated the money. After collecting the money, she recorded the account in a notebook. There are a lot of things coming and going in the scrap station, and the weighing is not always accurate. It is normal to have a difference of a few pounds.

After settling the bill, Shen Wenyu put the money given by Tang Yuan into the drawer and whispered to her, "Next time you come, you can bring me anything good you have. I'll probably want everything, whether it's food or daily necessities."

Tang Yuan comes here once every two weeks, so whether she buys ingredients or food, it's not surprising that she buys this time.

The material does not require cloth coupons. Even if you don’t use it at home, it can be used as a gift or something else in the future.

"Okay, I'll definitely bring it to you if I have it." Tang Yuan agreed and left with a sack of "waste paper".

After walking around twice with the things in her hand, she went to the "temporary residence", put down the sack, and went to the hospital.

After leaving the machinery factory, she went to the black market for a stroll and chatted with Shen Wenyu at the scrap yard for a while. By now, the examination in the hospital should have been completed.

Sure enough, as soon as she was distracted, she heard someone talking in her ear.

"The patient's condition is not good. According to what you said, she must have been quite traumatized. We have to wait and see when she wakes up. We can do a detailed examination after she wakes up."

"She should be able to wake up, right?"

"That's right. What happened? Tell me so we can find the right solution."

"It's like this, today..."

Tang Yuan closed his eyes and listened to today's events from a third-party perspective. He felt like he had been fed another load of gossip.

As soon as he finished speaking, the doctor said, "No wonder. Her condition is a bit of a stress reaction. The next step is simple. As long as she is not allowed to see those people, the situation will gradually get better. Many people with mental problems will get much better as long as they leave the environment that causes mental problems. It is the same for her."

"So all we have to do is make sure that family doesn't see her again, is that right?"

“That’s about it.”

"Okay, thank you, doctor. Our machinery factory leaders will take good care of this matter."
