"Didn't you take your daughter-in-law to the hospital?"

"Why didn't you check it out? The doctor said that the person has a cold body and it's not easy to get pregnant."

"Cold body is not a serious problem. Go buy some brown sugar and add some ginger slices to boil some water for her to drink. It will get better slowly."

"That's easy for you to say. My son has been lining up at the supply and marketing cooperative before dawn these past few days, but he didn't even see a single piece of oil paper to wrap the brown sugar."

"If it doesn't work, ask your son to go to Xinan Hutong to buy some. There's no ticket required, but the price is a bit higher."

"If I had that much money, I would have asked my son to go to Xinan Hutong to buy it long ago. I would not have even gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up in such hot weather to try my luck." At this point, the skinny old lady sighed.

Southwest Hutong...

Shen Zhihuan, who grasped the key words instantly, jumped up.

"Auntie, may I ask how do I get to the Southwest Alley you just mentioned?" Shen Zhihuan quickly took out two peaches from the backpack that was tightly covered with old clothes and stuffed one into the hands of each of the two old ladies who were chatting by.

The two old ladies subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Many people know about Southwest Hutong, but few dare to speak about it in broad daylight.

They just let it slip by accident. If people knew that they had been there, both families would be in big trouble.

"Aunties, please be kind! My sister-in-law had severe hemorrhage after giving birth and finally survived. The doctor told her to eat more brown sugar and eggs to replenish her body, but I've been waiting in line for several days and haven't even seen any brown sugar."

"My sister-in-law has already suffered from heavy bleeding and has no milk. My mother can only make some rice soup every day to feed my little nephew. How can the child drink rice soup all the time? My mother's eyes are almost blinded by crying because of this."

"Aunt, just think of it as a good deed! My brother is gone, and my nephew is the only one left in our Li family. If anything happens to him, my mother and sister-in-law will probably..."

Having said that, Shen Zhihuan raised his hand pretentiously to wipe away the tears that didn't exist at all.

The two old ladies were so fooled by Shen Zhihuan that their eyes turned red.

"Go straight down that road, turn right at the fifth intersection when you see the school, then go straight and turn left at the third intersection. Then go two intersections forward and you will see two small alleys. Go into the alley on the right and walk about a hundred meters to the Southwest Alley." The skinny old lady pointed to a place not far away and said in a low voice with red eyes.

"Little girl, be careful when you go there. Look at the intersection to see if there are people in uniform. If there are, go later and don't get caught by them." The slightly fatter old lady couldn't help but whispered.

"Thank you!" Shen Zhihuan bowed to the two of them and picked up the backpack beside him.

"Little girl, there is a man named Qin Wuye in Southwest Hutong. He has a complete range of goods and the prices are reasonable. You can't go wrong by going to him." The slightly fatter old lady thought for a moment and whispered another reminder.

"Thank you!" Shen Zhihuan smiled and waved goodbye, then put on his backpack and walked towards the road the skinny old lady pointed to.

"Xu Erniu, Xu Erniu, we have been good sisters for decades, but you actually hid the fact that Master Qin Wu's price was fair from me." After watching Shen Zhihuan walk away, the skinny old lady turned around and glared at the slightly fatter old lady.

"...I also heard about it recently." The fat old lady named Xu Erniu explained hurriedly.

The skinny old lady rolled her eyes at Xu Erniu, snorted coldly, and turned her head away.

"I really didn't lie to you. I heard it from the gatekeeper Old Wang a few days ago. If you don't believe me, just go and ask him." Xu Erniu apologized with a smile on her face.

"You knew it a few days ago, then why didn't you tell me?" The skinny old lady turned around and glared at me.

"This peach is so big! It must be about 60 or 70 grams, right?" Xu Erniu moved her lips and quickly changed the subject.

The skinny old lady then remembered the peach in her hand and weighed it quickly.

"Yes, these peaches are really good! They look fresher than those in the department store..."

At this point, the skinny old lady slapped her thigh and said, "Oh my god! I still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative..."

After passing three intersections and turning left, Shen Zhihuan could just see two alley entrances from a distance when he saw a commotion at the alley entrance on the right.

Soon, a dozen men of different ages were chased all over the street by a group of people in uniform. Shen Zhihuan subconsciously took a step back to the side of the road to make way for the group.

"Fifth Master, you run first, we'll cover you." A middle-aged man in a white shirt said to a young man in a blue and white striped sailor shirt while running.

Fifth Master...

Fifth Master Qin? Shen Zhihuan raised his eyebrows playfully.

She is worried.

The real owner is now at your doorstep.

Shen Zhihuan watched the young man in the sailor shirt run into a small alley not far away, and then Shen Zhihuan quickly ran into the alley behind her...

Half an hour later, deep in the alley, Shen Zhihuan bumped into Qin Bin, who was wearing a sailor shirt and was known as Qin Wuye in the underworld.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Qin Bin frowned, with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Today's sudden attack still leaves him with lingering fears.

"I want to do business with you." Shen Zhihuan took out a lychee from her pocket and threw it to Qin Bin who was a few steps away from her.

Qin Bin took it and frowned before looking at Shen Zhihuan. "Do you know me?"

"I don't know him." Shen Zhihuan shook his head.

"I don't know me, but you still want to do business with me even though I don't know you?" Qin Bin sneered.

This skinny girl is really brave! "I heard that your prices are fair, so I came to you. Could it be that what they said is all false?" Shen Zhihuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

"The fair prices are not an exaggeration. If you don't believe me, little girl, you can go out and ask around to see if your Master Qin Wu is honest in Southwest Hutong." Qin Bin raised his chin slightly, looking proud.

Shen Zhihuan looked up at the sky, put down the backpack, lifted the clothes covering it, and nodded at Qin Bin.

"Since Master Qin Wu is honest and trustworthy, then give me a price."

When Shen Zhihuan lifted her clothes, Qin Bin stretched his neck.

Each lychee is round, plump, bright red.

In addition, the fruits that you can't tell what they are are all red and round, and you can tell at a glance that they are top quality.

Qin Bin looks young, but he is an old hand at purchasing goods. He can tell the quality of the fruit just by looking at its color and shape.

Although most people these days are still struggling to make ends meet, there are also many people who have money but nowhere to spend it.

The next second, Qin Bin seemed to see great unity floating towards him like snowflakes.

"Do you have any more in your hand?" Qin Bin looked around and asked in a low voice.

“As long as the price is right, we have the goods.”

Shen Zhihuan picked up two cherries, handed one to Qin Bin, and put the other in his mouth. Then he continued, "Try it. Let's talk business after you've tasted it."
