"I want to exchange the fine grain for some yellow and white goods, so I want to go to the black market."
Mr. Ge looked at the girl with clear eyes in front of him and said carefully:
"I have some jade, will you accept the gold?"
Xu Niannian nodded. Her space could store jade, gold and silver.
Mr. Ge suppressed his ecstasy. His children and his wife had not eaten refined grains for a long time.
Life at home had been difficult since that incident. He whispered to her:
"Then let's meet at xx in 15 minutes."
He didn't dare to bring the person home. If he was reported, he would have to bear the responsibility alone.
But he was willing to take a gamble.
After making an agreement with Xu Niannian, he still told her the location of the black market and mentioned some points to pay attention to.
Seeing that she understood, he walked away.
As soon as I got home, I went to the small treasury and got out three jade bracelets and two small gold bars.
He gave the candy to his wife so that she could sweeten her mouth first.
Mrs. Ge hid the White Rabbit candy in her arms and waited for her grandson to come back and eat it. Milk can help people grow taller. The family didn’t eat well, so she was worried that her grandson wouldn’t grow tall.
Ever since the incident at home, my daughter-in-law died of illness within two years, and my son had to do manual labor. Life was really hard.
Pick up a piece of fruit candy and put it in your mouth.
It had been a long time since she had tasted this flavor. Looking at the old man's gray hair, she stuffed another one into his mouth.
Mr. Ge quickly refused:
"You women like to eat these sweet things, but I don't."
But his eyes lingered on the candy for a second.
He turned around, took the things he had prepared, and walked out.
His wife didn't ask any more questions, as her old man was a sensible man.
They retired from the business at the height of their career and donated most of their fortune, leaving behind only a small courtyard. She looked at her own feet and sighed, as she was the only one in the family who had to eat free meals.
When Ge Lao and Xu Niannian met again, he saw her holding a broken backpack filled with some weeds.
He walked over and handed the small rag in his hand to Xu Niannian.
When Xu Niannian opened it, she saw a jade bracelet with very good water content and a small gold bar.
To be honest, she felt it was a pity to use the jade bracelet to nourish the space. The water was so clear and transparent.
She didn't care about the small gold bar.
She wanted to own these jade bracelets herself, and she could see that the other party was very sincere, but she couldn't catch the wolf without risking her child, so she could only give them to space.
She first asked Mr. Ge:
"Isn't this jade bracelet your heirloom? You can't regret giving it to me. If you are sure you won't regret it, I will accept it. Here is the food, please take a look."
As he said this, he handed him his backpack.
There were two bags inside. When I opened them, I saw one was filled with white rice and the other was filled with snow-white flour, which looked better than Fuqiang flour.
These are all fine grains and are very rare.
He was able to estimate the weight just now. The two together would be at least 30 kilograms, enough for them to eat for a while.
They won’t drink porridge every day anymore.
There was some trembling in the voice:
"Change, change, change."
Gold, silver and jewelry are all external things, and I am already very satisfied with them.
Xu Niannian looked at those bracelets, which would be worth millions of treasures in the future. She always felt a little guilty for exchanging them for 30 kilograms of grain.
Seeing her frown, Ge Lao thought she felt that something was not enough:
"How about I give you another small gold bar?"
Xu Niannian quickly shook his head:
"Uncle, I only left these things at my relative's house this time. I'll give you some more food next time I go to the city. Otherwise, I'll really feel ashamed of it."
Mr. Ge was a little nervous holding the flour bag, but he relaxed when he heard this:
"That's all, thank you."
Even though it was quiet here, he couldn't stay any longer. After hiding his things, Ge Lao headed home.
Xu Niannian asked hesitantly:
"Where should I look for you again?"
"I usually just sweep the streets outside, just the ones where you met me."
After he left, Xu Niannian threw the bracelet into the space, and the black soil, which was originally insufficient, doubled in size.
The flow of the spiritual spring water is also faster.
Next to it were three packets of medicinal seeds: "Snow lotus, honeysuckle, and cordyceps."
She opened her eyes wide, these were all good things, snow lotus sounded beautiful.
I carefully planted the seeds and herbs I bought this morning. It was a pity to give these good things to a medicine addict like her...
It’s too late today, so she will go to the waste book station later to buy some medicine books.
I have completed most of the tasks for today, and I feel a lot more relaxed. There is no need for me to go to the black market anymore.
She went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative. She came here to buy things today, and it would be bad to go back without taking anything.
Looking at the cotton seedlings in the space, which had begun to branch out, she wanted to buy some cloth and make them into a quilt and a few cotton coats.
Grandpa would have used the most low-key fabrics back on the farm.
The supply and marketing cooperative had different counters. She walked to the counter that sold fabrics. The salesperson was knitting a sweater at her seat. When she saw someone coming, she didn't even blink:
"Which one do you want?"
Xu Niannian took a look at the items displayed outside and saw that they were all brightly colored in military green, red, pink and other colors.
She took out two pieces of White Rabbit candies and handed them to the salesperson.
The salesperson glanced at it and put his sweater on it. This time his attitude was much better:
"Anything you need?"
Xu Niannian nodded:
"Is there any black coarse cloth?"
Nowadays people are more reserved, and they use black cloth to make pants and other things. The amount of coarse cloth used is relatively large, which leads to the fact that these good ones are not sold as fast as the coarse cloth.
When the salesperson saw the clothes Xu Niannian was wearing, although they looked quite low-key, the materials were all good.
Why would they ask for coarse cloth? But just give them what they want.
"Wait a minute, I'll turn it over."
As she said that, she squatted down and rummaged around in the counter for a long time. Occasionally, when she was lazy, she was too lazy to put things out.
Sure enough, two pieces of cloth were found soon.
Put everything on the counter:
"You want it?"
Xu Niannian touched it and found it was this kind of cloth:
"Yes, yes."
After saying that, he took out all the cloth coupons from his pocket and asked how much money was needed.
The salesperson didn't expect that she would actually want two pieces of cloth:
"You want so much cloth? We have a limited supply here. Each person can only buy one piece of cloth."
When Xu Niannian heard this, she took out a big apple from her pocket and put it on her sweater in order to cover the alarm clock.
The salesperson felt like his throat was choked. He looked around and was relieved when he saw that no one was looking in his direction.
He coughed twice and looked around:
"Don't do that next time."
