When the burly man saw that Chen Shuning wouldn't sell, he got anxious. His girlfriend was better than him in every way, and not only did she not look down on him, she didn't even ask for more dowry.
Now that he had such a small request, how could he refuse? So he quickly stopped Chen Shuning and said with a fawning smile, "Auntie, don't be in such a hurry to leave. If the price isn't right, we can discuss it again. Or, Auntie, you can name a price, and if it's reasonable, I'll buy it."
To be honest, I'm not reselling this watch; I'm buying it for my girlfriend. I just like the design of this watch.
Shopping malls have reset functions, and as long as there is time, they can have as many of these watches as they want. So Chen Shuning originally had the idea of small profits and quick turnover. Just as he was about to leave, he was thinking that he couldn't just close a deal based on the buyer's fixed price.
Seeing that there was still room for negotiation on the price, she was secretly pleased, but on her face she pretended to be troubled and said, "Auntie, I see that you are a kind person. How about this, you give me 190 yuan, no coupon required. If it's okay, I'll sell it to you. If not, I'll keep it for myself."
My third son isn't married yet, so I'm saving this for my future daughter-in-law.
Although it was a bit beyond his budget, the burly man gritted his teeth and agreed, thinking that his girlfriend would definitely like the watch. "Okay, one hundred and ninety it is. Auntie, please wait here for a while, and I'll have someone bring you the money right away."
The deal was done, and Chen Shuning quickly received nineteen large ten-dollar bills and seven yuan and eighty cents in change.
It turned out that the burly man had intended to befriend Chen Shuning after hearing him say that his son worked at a transportation company.
So he took the duck eggs from the old lady's basket as well, and gave her his nickname, Blackie, so that she could come to him anytime she needed anything, and he would guarantee a fair price.
This is precisely why Chen Shuning came to the black market today, because she plans to use her son's long-distance driving as an excuse to sell a large quantity of goods.
However, Chen Shuning had no intention of selling grain. Rice and flour were too heavy to move, and the price wasn't high either.
Unlike small items like watches, which are easy to carry but also quite expensive, this tiny piece sold for 190 yuan. Keep in mind that she already had quite a few of these watches stored in her space.
These days, she's been like an old lady tending a chicken coop, going to the shopping mall every day to bring out those few watches that are suitable for this era. Now that she's found a channel, she plans to bring a few more to sell next time.
I don't need many; I can sell ten items every month or two. Then I can look at the small accessories in my space, like rubber bands with fabric flowers, hair clips, retro dresses, bed sheets, etc. I can bring some of those next time and see if I can sell them.
As for the source of the goods, that's easy to say, since she has a son who drives long-distance trucks for a transportation company. As for which transportation company, sorry, that's not convenient to say, and his name is even more inappropriate to disclose.
These days, what kind of work do transportation companies do? And if you're someone you met through the black market, then I can't tell you anything about them.
Chen Shuning looked relaxed after selling his goods. Although the duck eggs had already been sold, he decided to go to the black market since it was still early.
Hei Zi was in a good mood after getting a watch. He even returned the two cents he had given Chen Shuning when he entered the room and personally escorted him inside.
She didn't know if it was because the place was small or if the black market was like this, but all she could find were stalls selling grains, eggs, and duck eggs. There wasn't much pork, but there were plenty of wild chickens and rabbits from the mountains. She already had all of these things in her spatial storage, and she didn't lack rice, flour, or cooking oil, so there was no need for her to waste money buying them.
However, she didn't see any of the jewelry and jade she had been longing for. Somewhat disappointed, Chen Shuning shook her head as she walked. Just as she was about to reach the end of the stall, Chen Shuning spotted someone who was both unexpected and yet perfectly reasonable.
There, squatting under a poplar tree, was an elderly woman with a dark complexion, whose clothes and appearance were similar to hers.
Her face was covered in professional old-age makeup, and her exposed hands were clearly tinted several shades darker. But what was with her wrists when she occasionally picked things up? They were so white and tender, and the contrast between them and her aged face and dark hands was just too jarring.
And the beauty mark at the corner of her mouth made her instantly recognizable to anyone who knew her well—wasn't this her new neighbor, Gu Xinyi?
For a moment, Chen Shuning was curious about what Gu Xinyi would sell at the black market, so she walked over and squatted down in front of the stall. She glanced at the goods on the stall. Not to mention the rice and flour, she seemed to see a modern epidemic prevention stamp on the pork skin.
What exactly is going on? Could it be that Gu Xinyi is also a time traveler, and like her, a time traveler with a spatial ability?
Where exactly did things go wrong? Why is the current situation completely different from the description in that book? The original owner changed his fate of being cannon fodder because of his own transmigration.
Could it be that Gu Xinyi's fate was also altered by someone's time travel?
But this fellow time traveler in front of me, are you really not here to be funny? With your outfit full of flaws and the products that are obviously out of step with this era, aren't you afraid of being discovered by someone with ulterior motives?
And Gu Xinyi, what's with that timid look on your face? With that level of intelligence, you didn't even notice the problem with the products you were selling, how could you have discovered that she was secretly eating the food from your spatial storage? How could you have discovered that she was secretly entering your spatial storage?
Thinking about how cautious and stifled she had been these past two days, Chen Shuning felt like giving herself a good beating.
However, out of a sense of camaraderie among fellow transmigrators, Chen Shuning decided to kindly remind Gu Xinyi that with a female supporting character who was superior to her in every way, she, as a nobody, would be safer, wouldn't she?
