This expression betrayed him instantly. Ruan Mengmeng could see that he was feeling uneasy at the moment.
If you think about it carefully, people are almost starving to death these days, who would care about these porcelains?
There are still several piles of such things in the old man’s house, which are neither edible nor drinkable. To be honest, it is too troublesome to throw them away!
He was just desperate and wanted to try his luck and see if anyone wanted him...
Who knew that after these few days, the grandfather and grandson basically returned empty-handed;
Both of them were already disappointed and were ready to give it a try.
Today, someone took a fancy to these things. He was surprised but also a little worried.
Worried that I would ask for too much, the other person would turn around and walk away;
Seeing Ruan Mengmeng lost in thought and silent, the old man was a little anxious;
Just as he was about to lower the price, he heard Ruan Mengmeng's voice;
"I'll give you ten pounds of whole grains and five pounds of white flour... Did you bring the bag? How can I give you the food?"
When the old man heard that he could exchange so much food, he was stunned for a long time without saying a word.
"Comrade?..."
Ruan Mengmeng shouted;
"No, no... This is too much. Our things are not worth so much..."
Coming back to his senses, the old man waved his hand and refused;
The old man’s family is short of food, but he can’t take other people’s things for free!
"You don't have to refuse so quickly. Xiaodong is still young. Do you have the heart to let him go hungry?"
Ruan Mengmeng was not a bad person, but she was still unwilling to take advantage of others, the whole family;
She is still willing to lend a helping hand within her ability;
Besides, no matter how you calculate it, it's all earned by yourself. These things are worth more than a dozen kilograms of grain.
When the old man heard Ruan Mengmeng mention his grandson and thought of his bedridden wife at home, he finally gritted his teeth;
"Okay comrade, thank you very much!"
Nodding, the old man said gratefully with red eyes;
"We have bags ourselves, so let's use them to carry the food!"
After the old man finished speaking, he took out two small cloth bags from his jacket pocket;
It’s not big, but it’s enough to hold more than ten kilograms of food!
"Okay, then you wait..."
Ruan Mengmeng didn't bring any coarse grains in her snakeskin bag;
There were all dilapidated empty houses around here, so she planned to go to the empty house at the back and get some for them from the space;
"Okay, okay...we're not in a hurry!"
Finally, a buyer was found. The old man was happy and polite.
After saying that, Ruan Mengmeng carried the snakeskin bag and walked towards the empty room at the back;
She casually walked into an empty house, closed the door, and then put the snakeskin bag on the ground;
After feeling that there was no one around, he took things out of the space;
After quickly putting ten kilograms of coarse grains and five kilograms of white flour into the cloth bag given by the old man;
He took out a snakeskin bag to store the exchanged ceramics later.
After finishing these, Ruan Mengmeng took her things and walked towards the empty room where the grandfather and grandson were staying;
The old man was not surprised to see her go and come back;
After all, in this place, many people are very cautious in their transactions, fearing that their secrets will be revealed;
Ruan Mengmeng handed over the packed food and asked;
"How are you going to take all this food away?"
The old man took the food and opened it to look at it. His eyes were red and he was so moved that his whole body was shaking.
"We pulled a cart here. Our home is close to here. We'll just cover it with some weeds. It won't be a problem..."
Knowing that she was kind-hearted and thinking of the two of them, the old man was even more moved, and his voice trembled as he spoke.
Ruan Mengmeng is a good person who will do his best to send the Buddha to the west, and I am really worried;
The food that the old man and the child exchanged for was targeted by bad guys before they could even eat it.
If it is snatched away, nothing will be left...
My good intentions were all in vain...
I didn't see the cart, so I guess the grandfather and grandson hid it somewhere else;
Knowing that the two of them had a plan in mind, Ruan Mengmeng did not ask any more questions;
After she carefully packed all the porcelain she had exchanged into a snakeskin bag;
I returned the bag to the old man and prepared to leave...
"Comrade...wait a moment!"
After hesitating for a long time, the old man decided to ask;
"Comrade, do you still need this kind of porcelain? I have a lot at home. If you want..."
Hearing this, Ruan Mengmeng paused and turned to look at the grandfather and grandson;
"Yes! I'll take whatever you have... Are you still willing to exchange it for food?"
When the old man heard this, the little man in his heart almost jumped up! He said excitedly;
"Yes, yes, any grain will do. If we don't have white flour, whole grains will do, sweet potatoes, potatoes will do..."
As long as it can fill his stomach, he will accept anything;
The old and young in the family have been short of food for a long time, and he is really afraid of the days of hunger;
"Okay, leave me your address. I'll come over when I have time. Please keep the things for me. I definitely want them..."
“Okay, okay…”
The old man was so surprised when he saw the deal was finalized that he said "yes" three times in a row.
After leaving their address to Ruan Mengmeng, the two prepared to leave;
Ruan Mengmeng did not delay any longer and directly carried the porcelain to the empty room at the back and secretly put it into the space;
Then, continue to browse other stalls;
Under Ruan Mengmeng's careful observation, he discovered many treasures on the stalls;
She quietly used food, and exchanged some for money;
These treasures will be valuable in the future, and it is a good opportunity to encounter them now.
As usual, he put the treasures he had exchanged into a snakeskin bag, then went into the empty house at the back and crossed into the space;
People who didn’t know would think that there were her companions in the empty house at the back;
In this place, everyone trades based on their own abilities, and everyone tacitly agrees not to ask questions.
This was also convenient for Ruan Mengmeng;
After a round, she gained a lot and was very happy. She also asked about the prices.
And there was an unexpected gain, I got the addresses of several people;
They were all the people who had good character that Ruan Mengmeng had observed during his transactions;
There were still some things at home that Ruan Mengmeng needed, but she couldn't get them all at once.
I could only wait for an opportunity, and Ruan Mengmeng came to take it away personally;
After instructing them to keep it for themselves, Ruan Mengmeng stopped exchanging treasures;
As for the price of grain, there is not much difference;
It's only slightly more expensive than what Ruan Mengmeng sells herself, the difference isn't that big;
Ruan Mengmeng took off the snakeskin bag on his back and squatted down;
They took out rice, flour, brown sugar, pork, millet, noodles... and started selling them;
The items she had selected were all currently scarce items, so she had no trouble selling them;
In a short while, she was surrounded by a group of people;
"Comrade, two pounds of noodles, one pound of white flour, and two pounds of brown sugar..."
An old lady standing at the front of the crowd spoke up;
“Okay…”
