Chapter 45: First aid 2
If you go to the black market again, the old lady may be in danger, it is better for her to sell the food directly to her.
When the old lady heard Zhao Xiulan's words, she was surprised and looked at Zhao Xiulan with joy.
"Daughter, you really have food, are you willing to sell it to me?"
After asking so many people just now, the old lady was a little desperate. She didn't expect that Zhao Xiulan was rescued by Zhao Xiulan with good luck. Zhao Xiulan still had food to buy for her.
Zhao Xiulan nodded in response, "Well, auntie, I have some here that I can sell to you."
There was a tear in the old lady's eyes and she said, "It's very good girl, I really met a good person today.
But girl, I have no money, can I exchange things with you?
Of course, it's okay if you don't want to, the aunt knows how precious food is these days. "
Although Zhao Xiulan took pity on the old lady, there was no reason to give away the food for free.
After listening to the old lady's words, Zhao Xiulan asked, "Auntie, what do you want to exchange with me?"
The old lady looked around, it was a bit mysterious, Zhao Xiulan could understand it, but she was afraid that people would see it and confirm her safety.
Some things are too dangerous to take out and have to be hidden and tucked away.
Zhao Xiulan saw that the old lady took out a black cloth bag from her pocket, then stuffed the black cloth bag into Zhao Xiulan's hand, and asked in a low voice in Zhao Xiulan's ear, "Daughter, can you see this thing?"
Zhao Xiulan opened the black cloth bag and saw a bracelet and a pair of gold hairpins inside.
The bracelet is emerald, the luster is fine and moist, the surface is smooth and delicate, the color is bright, the ice is green, and the water head is very good. It's just that people who don't have much research on jade know that this bracelet is very valuable after reading it.
The golden hairpin is also embellished with two jadeites, the color of the glass is pure emerald green, the texture is very delicate, and the emerald nature cannot be seen. Transparency is good, like glass, which is the best among jadeites.
If these two things were bought in the 21st century, the bracelets alone would cost hundreds of thousands.
When Zhao Xiulan saw these things, she frowned, looked at the old lady, and said to the old lady, "Auntie, this thing is too precious, you exchange it for food? Wouldn't it be too wasteful?"
As soon as the old lady heard Zhao Xiulan's words, she knew that Zhao Xiulan was a knowledgeable person, she smiled and said to Zhao Xiulan, "Girl, since you can say that, it means that you understand these things, and the aunt doesn't hide it from you, so these things are also It is useful and valuable in peaceful times, but in this age, many people don't look at it at all.
Getting food on the black market is not as easy as money, and many people won't want it.
No matter how good things are, they can’t be eaten as meals, so why keep them?
My wife and I have been hungry for several days. Now, as long as we can exchange some food and eat, there is nothing to be reluctant or wasted. After all, nothing is more valuable than life.
Daughter, if you are willing to receive and exchange food with me, the aunt will only be grateful to you in her heart. "
After listening to the old lady's words, Zhao Xiulan secretly sighed.
It's not unreasonable what the old lady said. For the few things she gave, jade can't be exchanged for much money, and the state will not accept it, but gold can be exchanged for some money, but the integrity of a golden hairpin has been destroyed. It is estimated that the old lady was also reluctant, so she took these things to try her luck on the black market to see if she could find someone who knew the goods.
