Chapter 10 Running away



After finding a deserted place, Su Qing put the things he bought into the warehouse of the Space Town.

I came to the supply and marketing cooperative excitedly with the money I had just received, but was dumbfounded.

There are so many people, it’s almost as busy as the Spring Festival travel rush.

Even standing so far away, you can hear the salesperson shouting at the top of his lungs: Don't push, or you won't be able to buy anything.

But how could these aunties and grandmas listen? They squeezed in desperately, fearing that they would not be able to buy anything if they were a step slower.

Su Qing lowered his head and looked in front of him. Forget it. He decided not to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. He would just walk close to other people. After walking around, he would probably be flat.

So he disguised himself again and went to the black market again.

Carrying 50 kilograms of flour, 10 kilograms of brown sugar, five cans of honey, and two bunches of bananas, he found a place to sit down.

After a while, an old man with a dark face stopped in front of Su Qing's stall.

"Big sister, how much is this flour?"

"Without a ticket, flour costs 70 cents per pound, and brown sugar costs 1.1 yuan per pound. With a ticket, it's cheaper."

"Big sister, you're selling it too expensive. Besides, the grain has just been harvested, so the price should have come down a long time ago."

"Brother, you know the situation on the farm. Even if we harvest the crops, it's not enough to feed our own families. Who would want to sell them? Besides, look at my goods. They're top-notch quality. I can definitely make a profit."

I saw the elder brother put some flour into his palm, licked it with his tongue, and smelled the scent of brown sugar.

"Okay, can you make it cheaper? If you can, I'll take both the flour and the brown sugar."

Su Qing looked embarrassed and pretended to be heartbroken. "Well, it seems that Big Brother is a kind person. How about this, I'll give you a dime less."

A dime is very valuable nowadays. Big Brother thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Wrap it up for me."

"Okay, big brother, here, fifty pounds of flour and ten pounds of brown sugar, forty-six pounds in total."

The eldest brother looked at Su Qing's backpack for a few seconds and found that it was really gone, so he took out the money.

After seeing off the first customer, Su Qing happily collected the money.

Using the backpack as cover, he turned around and took out another 20 kilograms of flour and 10 kilograms of brown sugar.

As soon as a corner of the flour appeared, two aunties rushed to Su Qing's stall.

“How much is flour?”

"Seventy cents a pound. If you have a ticket, you can save twenty cents."

"It's so expensive. I see others are only paying 50 cents per pound."

"Then go sell it to someone else. Big sister, put it in a bag for me. I want them all."

"Why do you want all of it? We all came here together. I don't care. Big sister, weigh it for me."

"I'm waiting for flour to make dumplings."

"I'm still waiting for flour to make noodles."

Su Qing held her forehead, wondering if she could ask the person involved. "I have a total of 20 kilograms. Why don't you discuss how to divide it?"

"No, this flour looks just average and it's so expensive. If it could be cheaper, I'd consider it."

Su Qing said with a smile, "Then take care, and you're welcome to come again next time."

Seeing that Su Qing refused to give in, the woman pretended to leave.

After walking a short distance, she found that Su Qing still didn't call her. Afraid of losing face if she went back, the woman left angrily.

In the end, a fat aunt bought it all.

"Hey, you still have honey here, how much is one pound?"

"Three dollars a can, no bargaining." Su Qing had a reason to call out this price. The products of the space must be top-quality and of excellent quality.

The fat lady looked at it again and again and said, "It's too expensive."

"Sister, this honey is a treasure. A cup of honey water every day can relieve fatigue, enhance immunity, moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements, soothe the nerves and help with sleep, and even delay aging. You can't go wrong with three dollars."

Loving beauty is a woman’s nature. When the fat aunt heard that it could also delay aging, she immediately paid for two cans.

He also said that if it works, he would buy it again next time.

Su Qing carefully calculated today's income in his mind, and a shadow fell in front of his eyes.

"Sister, you are so mean. I saw there was no flour and brown sugar in your basket just now. I didn't expect you to hide them for yourself." The first elder brother who went to buy things came back and said angrily in front of Su Qing.

Su Qinglue was a little embarrassed.

"Brother, isn't this what life forces us to do?" He said as he handed over a banana.

The eldest brother didn't hesitate and took it and ate it.

"Look at me, I look so righteous, but you don't believe me. I said I can buy it all, and I will buy it all. Come on, let me see what else I have and buy it all for you."

After saying that, he gestured to Su Qing to hand over the backpack.

"Sure, sister. You have a lot of options. Are you interested in working with me?" After saying that, she pulled another banana.

"Brother, cooperation is one thing, but why are you eating non-stop?"

"Hehe, I like this. Don't worry, I want all of them. Now you can talk to me about cooperation."

Just as the two were about to start talking about cooperation, someone shouted: Those people are coming.

The eldest brother grabbed Su Qing's backpack and ran away.

"Brother, my backpack is mine." But the elder brother turned around and disappeared from Su Qing's sight.

Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps, Su Qing no longer cared about chasing his things. The most important thing was to run away.

After running out of the alley, Su Qing didn't dare to stay for a moment and returned directly along the same route.

On the way back, Su Qing was grieving over the ten kilograms of brown sugar, three cans of honey and two bunches of bananas he had lost.

Even the only backpack in the house is gone. I’m so angry.
