The cute educated youth accidentally flirted with the black-bellied vixen
Chapter 99 After Autumn
After autumn, is winter still far away?
What Xu Wenyin couldn't stand the most was other people looking at her with such expectant eyes. She couldn't help but think in her heart, oh, if the price wasn't too expensive.
Even if Gu Zhiqing doesn't buy it later, she will buy it anyway.
She also knew that these days, anyone willing to take the risk of coming to a place like this to sell such things must be on the verge of making a living.
Otherwise, who would be willing to give out something like this?
Besides, if such people are caught, they will be sent for reformation.
Fortunately, this is the black market, which is more inclusive, but no one would put things on the ground so blatantly. He is obviously at the end of his rope.
"Hello, do you want to exchange this for food, or sell it for money?"
"How do we exchange the food? How much money do we have to pay?"
Gu Wan saw that although the other person looked shabby, he was dressed very neatly and tidy, and even his nails were trimmed very round.
It can be seen that this person must have had good conditions before, and he was able to keep himself so clean and tidy even in such difficult circumstances.
Gu Wan felt that this person would not sell fake things to her, but she didn’t know how much he would want. She had the money, but it seemed like it would be a bad idea to pay it all at once.
When the old man saw that Gu Wan really continued to ask, his hope grew a little bit greater. He tried hard to control the upward curve of his mouth corners. His cloudy eyes on his weather-beaten face actually emitted a little dazzling light at this moment.
"As for food, how about this?" He stretched out three fingers from his sleeve, pursed his lips, and looked at the two people in front of him nervously.
Gu Wan didn’t understand what the number three meant. She looked at Xu Wenyin beside her in confusion. Xu Wenyin didn’t understand either. They both looked at the old man.
"Three bags of rice." He gave the lowest number directly.
If it were any lower, I would be really sorry to my wife, as this bracelet has been passed down in her family for generations.
So low?
Only three bags of rice can be exchanged for these two bracelets and one pendant, or three bags of rice for one thing?
Gu Wan was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time. Unlike her shock, Xu Wenyin looked embarrassed.
Jiangxi Province is not a major grain-producing province, so it is impossible to ensure that all the people in the province have enough to eat, so sweet potatoes are needed.
You can imagine how expensive rice is. Three bags of rice are needed at a time. No wonder it has been left here and not replaced.
She couldn't tell whether the jade was good or not, but it was not worth it to spend half a year's worth of food for her family just to exchange it for such a thing.
She was just about to pull Gu Wan away, but then decided to give up.
But Gu Wan cleared her throat twice and asked calmly:
"Do you mean the three bags of rice are the same, or..." She pointed her finger at the three together.
The three people deliberately lowered their voices when speaking, so people around them could only see their movements but could not hear their words.
This is also the conscious rule of this black market. If someone is negotiating a price, others cannot join in.
The old man originally thought that this time it would fail again. After all, he could see that the main attraction was the girl in the skirt.
Although the girl next to him had pretty eyes, the clothes she was wearing were indeed the coarse cotton cloth of ordinary people.
He looked at the girl in the skirt and saw a look of resistance on her face after he said that, and he knew that she was probably not satisfied.
He also knew that the price was a bit high, but this thing was a good thing. In the past, these three things would be more than enough to buy a house.
However, he didn't expect that the girl next to him, whom he didn't think highly of, suddenly asked.
He was stunned for a moment, then replied:
"All three together, of course."
He also thought about selling only one of them, but it would be difficult to negotiate the price if he sold them all at the same time. If he sold only one item, he would definitely have to sell it at a lower price.
He was unwilling to sell it at such a low price, but now he had no choice. However, no matter what, he couldn't really sell it at a low price.
"If we count money, how do we calculate it?"
Sure enough, there was still too much food.
The old man sighed uncomfortably, but he still pulled himself together, looked at Gu Wan gently and replied:
"If you have food coupons, you can take all the two hundred. If you don't have coupons, it's three hundred and fifty." He was afraid that Gu Wan would ask him whether he meant the price for one piece or three pieces, so he just said it directly.
So much difference?
Gu Wan was a little surprised. In fact, there was a lot of food in her space, but those were donated by others and were originally intended for people in need.
But now that she has been brought across, although theoretically those things are hers, she is still reluctant to exchange the food donated by others for her own selfish desires.
If I just eat it myself, there will be no psychological burden, but if I want to exchange the things that are intended for charity for two pieces of jewelry.
She just couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart. Even though no one would say anything to her, she just didn't want to do this.
"I'll buy it with your money. I don't have any food coupons."
Just as the light in the old man's eyes gradually faded, Gu Wan spoke.
After hearing this, Xu Wenyin turned to look at Gu Wan in surprise, afraid that her movements were too big and would attract other people's attention.
She leaned close to Gu Wan's ear and whispered, "This is too expensive." It was indeed too expensive. These days a worker's salary was only twenty or thirty yuan a month.
Three hundred and fifty, that's half a year's salary for a worker.
Gu Wan also knew that it was a bit too much. Nowadays, things are purchased by cents or percentage points. Three hundred and fifty was indeed quite expensive.
But when she came here in the book, she was beaten, had to go to work, lived in such a shabby house, and ate boiled vegetables with a lot of salt and water every day.
Moreover, she was drugged and did that, and...anyway, she suffered so much injustice and was so miserable, it wouldn't be too much to buy something she liked to comfort herself, right?
Although the money belonged to the original owner, she has become hers now!
She still has to live well for her, so her money is her own money, so there is no burden at all to use it.
When the old man heard that Gu Wan wanted to buy these three things, he was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He saw Xu Wenyin pulling Gu Wan and talking in a low voice.
The upturned corners of his mouth slowly smoothed down, and the light in his eyes began to dim.
I pinched my palms unconsciously and could only wait quietly for the final result. At this moment, time seemed to slow down countless times, and the tortured person's breathing felt like a knife.
Gu Wan also noticed the old man's condition out of the corner of her eye. She knew that the price was indeed a bit high, and the reason she didn't bargain was not because she was kind-hearted.
