The man was a member of a calligraphy association and considered himself a cultured person. Before the end of the world, many people came to him to ask for calligraphy.
Even a random piece of writing has never been less than five thousand yuan.
Who would have thought that a natural disaster would suddenly strike, and all that he had been good at and proud of could not be regained even a grain of rice.
The family is already stretched to the limit, and if they don’t bring back some food, they won’t even make it to New Year’s Eve.
There is a lot of rice and flour in the space, but they are non-renewable. Although 100 square meters of wheat are planted, who knows whether it can produce wheat ears. Jiang Ning is reluctant to take it out, "A pound of potatoes?"
It doesn't matter if it's renewable, and the second crop of potatoes is about to be harvested.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then nodded happily.
The quoted price of half a catty of rice and flour actually leaves room for bargaining. Yesterday, a customer wanted to buy some, and he took the initiative to reduce the price to two taels, but the other party ultimately did not want it.
Jiang Ning took out four black-skinned potatoes from her bag, which looked to weigh more than a pound, and handed them to the man while hiding them from the unfolded Spring Festival couplets.
I specially took this out and froze it two days ago. I wouldn’t dare show off the fresh ones unless I was tired of living.
The man pinched open the potato skin with his fingernails, saw that the meat inside was very fresh, and quickly stuffed it into his pocket.
Here, making money is one thing, and bringing food back is another.
Picking up the couplet, Jiang Ning continued shopping.
Coincidentally, I ran into the guy who opened the pet clinic last time.
Deworming medicine can be used for three or four years, but Jiang Ning still thinks it is not enough, after all, the dog will accompany her in her old age.
The shelf life was still acceptable, so Jiang Ning took all of them, but not any of the toys.
Coke has come to his senses and thinks the toy is too childish, so he would rather press the rabbit to the ground and rub it against the ground to play with it.
However, I asked for a school bag and some really cool pet clothes.
It was quite a lot of stuff in total, exchanged for three pounds of frozen potatoes.
As I was walking, I was suddenly bumped into by someone.
Jiang Ning quickly turned around and grabbed the man's hand, holding the sharp dagger against his waist, and said coldly: "Are you tired of living?"
The bag-cutting gang holds a sharp blade in their hands.
I thought girls would be easy to attack, and even if I was discovered I could just scare them a bit, but I didn't expect to run into a tough one.
The man struggled to escape.
Jiang Ning did not show any mercy to this habitual offender and punched him on the temple.
His temple was weak, so one punch wouldn't kill him, but it was enough to make him suffer.
The man fell to the ground with a thud, unconscious immediately.
Jiang Ning didn't even turn around and continued walking around.
Others turned a blind eye, looking extremely numb. They didn't even know where their own survival was, so how could they have the time to care about the lives of others?
The security patrol team rushed to the scene and pinched his Ren Zhong to save him when they saw that he was still breathing. They unexpectedly discovered that he was carrying various blades, daggers, kitchen knives, etc.
Needless to say, he was another criminal who was handed over to the police and sent to Xishan to dig coal.
I was almost done shopping and was about to go home when a tightly wrapped man came over and said, "Miss, do you want some meat?"
Jiang Ning thought the voice was familiar and looked at him for a long time, "Sharp-nosed monkey?"
The sharp-nosed monkey was surprised, "Miss, do you know me?"
That’s right, he has a pointed face and a monkey-like chin, so his nickname is “Pointed Monkey”.
Jiang Ning pulled down her scarf and mask, "It's me."
"It's you?" The sharp-nosed monkey almost screamed, blood rushing to his forehead, and he was so excited that he almost pulled out a knife.
Five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand!
When the deal was made, the boss praised and rewarded him in person.
Unexpectedly, the floods did not disappear and extreme cold came.
Civilization disappeared, the former glory turned into shit, and the boss scolded him as a grandson in public.
Five hundred thousand pieces of waste paper, I don’t know how long it will take to wipe my butt.
However, they are an honest organization and they have to take responsibility for all the business transactions, whether they win or lose.
Suppressing his turbulent emotions, the sharp-nosed monkey put on a professional smile and said, "Miss, do you want some meat?"
"What kind of meat?"
“We have pork and beef.”
Jiang Ning collected 68 pigs and no longer had to worry about pork for the rest of his life. However, he only had 200 kilograms of beef.
The beef is heavy and has shrunk a lot. There is not much in 200 kilograms. I can only cut a few ounces each time to satisfy my appetite, and it is very uncomfortable.
So, Jiang Ning was tempted.
"How many do you have?"
"How much do you want?"
"I'll take as many as you have."
The monkey immediately became alert, "Miss, can you eat so much?"
They won’t steal business from their peers, right? These people have even sold fish to them before.
"You don't care how much I eat, just tell me whether to sell it or not."
If you have business but don't do it, you are stupid. The monkey took her to a secluded corner and said something ugly in advance, "Miss, we don't accept banknotes now."
Jiang Ning understood that he had psychological trauma.
"Isn't this nonsense? The country won't accept it."
The monkey with the lung pierced, "..."
Taking a deep breath, he said calmly, "The cow was just slaughtered, it's very fresh, but what do you want to exchange it for?"
"What do you collect?"
"Gold, silver, jade, rice, flour, oil, grain, anything of value will do."
The monkey was thinking about the fish from last time, "Do you have any fish? Five catties of fish for one catty of beef."
Jiang Ning and Gou Zi both love to eat fish. Even though they have a lot of fish stored in their space, they still lost a lot of weight by gutting them. What if they accidentally live to be 99 years old?
It's the same meat, so it's not cost-effective for her to exchange five pounds for one pound.
As for the other things in the space, everything you stockpile is useful, and those bought for free can be exchanged for value in the future.
There is no shortage of green vegetables, but they are too conspicuous.
After much thought, I can only pick out those things that I won’t need now or in the future, but are of great value to others.
Jiang Ning quickly came up with an idea and asked in a low voice, "Do you want an umbrella?"
Umbrella? No, why would he need an umbrella?
No, this umbrella is not that umbrella.
The monkey quickly reacted, his eyes filled with surprise, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Jiang Ning pondered, "How to change it?"
There are almost three thousand of them. They are wasting space. It’s better to replace them with some practical ones.
"Twenty for a pound of beef."
Jiang Ning was speechless and turned away without saying a word.
"Miss, we can talk it over." The sharp-nosed monkey quickly pulled her back, "Fifteen for a pound of beef."
"Let go."
"Ten."
"Let go!"
The monkey was about to cry, "Eight, we really can't have any less."
Jiang Ning counted, "One."
The monkey almost vomited blood, "Are you kidding me?"
"In the market, you can buy one for five kilograms of grain, and the products are fake and inferior, and some are even second-hand, and the prices are still rising. The ones I have are imported originals.
Ordinary people can’t afford it, but your target is rich people.
Rich people eat meat and drink wine every day. They will never lack meat no matter what they need. Ordinary survivors cannot exchange food for meat, so your trading partners are rich people.
You can at least double your money if you trade it, and if you hoard it, you can only exchange it for more later."
The monkey was furious. He had dealt with many difficult people, but he had never seen anyone as calculating as her. "Transactions are risky. We must make money, but you are overcharging us."
"If you think it's unfair, forget it."
There is no forced buying or selling in business, so Jiang Ning plans to leave.
"Wait." The monkey gritted his teeth, "How many do you have?"
"I can exchange as much beef as you have."
