Chapter 170: Barely Obtained (33)
After that, Da Fei continued, "Since you want this, I don't need to tell you how valuable it is, right? What are you going to exchange it for?"
Lan Jin said: "We have small umbrellas and charcoal on hand."
Lan Jin didn't dare to say anything else. She had vegetables and fruits in her space, and the fruits could even grow infinitely. But how could she dare to say this? Vegetables could be grown in such extremely cold weather. After all, as long as there was charcoal, she could build a greenhouse by herself. Even if it was rare, she could still eat them. But there was no need to even mention fruits. If they took them out, everyone would know that there was something wrong here.
So all they could get were the simplest little umbrellas and charcoal.
To be honest, no one knew how long the extreme cold would last, and she was reluctant to give her more charcoal. But as for the small umbrella, she had a lot of it in her space. It was just that when negotiations were needed, she absolutely could not let others guess her thoughts, so she could only keep quiet after saying these two things.
But Da Fei's mind was obviously on the small umbrellas that Lan Jin mentioned. "How many small umbrellas do you have? How about this, I'll give you a price: 5 boxes of small umbrellas, and I won't take the charcoal for now."
Lan Jin shrank back in shock. She already had 5 boxes in her space, and that was more than enough. But she felt bad about giving so many at once. Besides, she had to bargain when exchanging supplies.
"Two boxes of small umbrellas, plus a backpack of charcoal from last time."
Dafei disagreed. This was too much. "Four boxes, plus one bag of charcoal."
"3 boxes, 2 bags of charcoal."
After some bargaining, the deal was finally settled at a price of 3 boxes of small umbrellas and 2 bags of charcoal, and it was agreed that the transaction would be completed at the entrance of the black market a week later.
After the deal was settled, they drove away.
Smelling the exhaust of the Hummer, the young man who had been standing next to Brother Dafei finally asked, "I thought the bearded man was the one in charge, but it seems that the woman is the one in charge." He had such a fierce face for nothing.
Da Fei laughed and said, "Don't look down on women. Any woman who can survive in a time like this is not someone you can easily mess with."
Lan Jin who came out today looked not someone to be trifled with, and Ling Jiang who traveled with them last time also looked not someone to be trifled with. To be honest, they had some connection (underground boxing matches), but they had never formally greeted each other before, so there was naturally no need to specifically mention the past now.
The young man asked, "Brother Dafei, are we really going to trade with them? We all have special abilities, so can't we just rob them? Those three boxes of small umbrellas are enough to open up many channels for us."
Da Fei glanced at the young man and said, "You have special abilities, but don't others have them? Without some skills, who would dare to come out at this time? Stop thinking of devious ways and be honest."
But the young man didn't quite understand. "Isn't our black market also a crooked way?"
Da Fei choked and slapped the young man on the head with his backhand.
…
On the way back, they were still in a very happy mood as they had barely exchanged for an invitation letter.
Huang Jinghe said with a relaxed smile, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly."
Lao Gao, however, didn't think so. He still felt a little uneasy. "How could it be smooth sailing? Do you know the value of a small umbrella now? Sister Lan really spent a lot of money on it."
Lan Jin said: "It's okay, I prepared this thing earlier."
Some of it she'd prepared, some she'd scooped up from the supermarket. It was a lot, anyway. But even if she had a lot, she wouldn't have enough time. If she sold too much at once, what would she do with it later? So she decided to save as much as possible. After some bargaining, wouldn't she only have to trade in three boxes? That number was fine for her.
But even though Lan Jin had prepared it earlier, she still had to be willing to take it out. Lao Gao said, "Don't worry, Sister Lan, I will remember all these things."
"Don't be too happy too soon. After all, we haven't got the goods yet. We still have to be on guard against them stealing from us. In short, we have a lot to do."
Although there was still a lot of snow on the way back, it was much easier to walk on than when he came. Lan Jin walked back along the road more than ten minutes faster than when he came, and soon arrived at the downstairs of Building 12.
As soon as Lan Jin parked the car, she asked curiously, "Hey, among all the superpowers we have, do you think anyone has the ability to control space? Then, does my space still need to be kept secret?"
Lan Jin's question stunned both of them, but they had heard of spatial abilities before. It was just that no one else among them had them except Lan Jin, so how could they know?
Huang Jinghe shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I think we should be more careful, just in case others don't have this skill."
"Yes, and what's more, you have so many supplies in your space. You'd better be careful not to let other people know about it. What if they get their eyes on it?" Lao Gao also agreed with Huang Jinghe's point of view.
In this case, Lan Jin certainly couldn't just carelessly put the car away. Instead, she started the car and plunged into the snow pile again. After it was out of everyone's sight, she put the car into the space.
Back at 3201, Ling Jiang asked excitedly, "How's it going? Did you get the change?"
Lao Gao said, "I have exchanged it, but he doesn't have it now. I will trade it in a week."
"Then what did you exchange it for?"
Ling Jiang's question silenced them, and Lan Jin finally replied, "Three boxes of small umbrellas and two bags of charcoal."
Ling Jiang was stunned by this answer.
After she came to her senses after a while, she said, "No, this invitation can be exchanged for three boxes of small umbrellas, right?"
Lao Gao said in disbelief: "Do you know the value of the little umbrella at this moment? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
After Lao Gao's explanation, Ling Jiang refused to believe that the value of the small umbrella had become the same as the invitation letter. "In the past, I wouldn't have dared to think about this."
"Didn't you expect that just now?" So, Lao Gao said to Lan Jin, "You really have a complete range of supplies."
Lan Jin did prepare a small umbrella, so she didn't have anything to be afraid of. "Just in case it comes in handy, I don't have any plans to have a second child for now."
Lao Gao was truly speechless after hearing this answer. He sighed and said, "Anyway, as long as there's a way to get it, it'll be fine. Then you two should come with us and see if it's true."
"Um."
The invitation cards are quite special and diverse. Huang Jinghe's is a relative, and it has a name on it, the child of so-and-so. As long as the identity is verified, he should be able to enter directly without any other supplies.
