If the woman goes to the black market again, she may be in danger, so it is better for Zhao Xiulan to sell the foodstuffs directly to her.

After listening to Zhao Xiulan’s words, the woman looked at Zhao Xiulan with surprise and joy.

“Girl, you… you really have foodstuffs and are willing to sell them to me?”

After asking so many people just now, the woman was a little desperate. She didn’t expect to be lucky enough to meet Zhao Xiulan and be rescued by her. Zhao Xiulan also had foodstuffs that she could buy.

Zhao Xiulan nodded and said, “Hmm, Auntie, I have some here that I can sell to you.”

There were tears in her eyes and she said, “That’s great… Girl, I met a really good person today.

But Girl, I don’t have any money, can I exchange some things with you?

Of course, it’s okay if you don’t want to. I know that foodstuffs are really expensive these days.”

Although Zhao Xiulan pitied the woman, there is no reason to give the foodstuffs for nothing. It is not that she is unwilling, but such behavior is very suspicious.

After listening to the woman’s words, Zhao Xiulan asked, “Auntie, what do you want to exchange with me?”

The woman looked around, it was a bit mysterious, but Zhao Xiulan could understand it. It was nothing more than fear that people would see it, so she has to make sure it’s safe.

Some things are too dangerous to take out, so they have to be hidden and tucked away.

Zhao Xiulan saw the woman take out a black cloth bag from her pocket, then stuffed it into Zhao Xiulan’s hand, and asked in a low voice in her ear, “Girl, can you check if these things will work?”

Zhao Xiulan opened the black cloth bag and saw a bracelet and a pair of gold hairpins inside.

The bracelet is jade, with a fine and moist luster, a smooth and delicate surface, a bright color, ice floating green, and a very good water head. It’s just that people who don’t have much research on jade generally know that this bracelet is valuable after looking at it.

The golden hairpin is also embellished with two jadeites, the glass color is pure emerald green, the texture is very delicate, and the emerald nature cannot be seen. The transparency is good, like glass, which is the best among jadeites.

If you buy these two things in the 21st century, just the bracelet alone will probably cost hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Zhao Xiulan frowned when she saw these things, then looked at the woman and said, “Auntie, these things are too expensive. Do you really want to exchange them for foodstuffs? Isn’t it too wasteful?”

As soon as the woman heard Zhao Xiulan’s words, she knew that Zhao Xiulan is a knowledgeable person, so she smiled and said, “Girl, since you can say that, it means that you can understand these things, so I won’t hide it from you. These things are useful and valuable in the era of peace, but in this era, many people can’t even look at them.

Exchanging these on the black market for foodstuffs is not as good as money, and many people will not ask for these.

No matter how good these things are, they can’t be eaten as meal. So, what do you keep them for?

My husband and I have been hungry for several days. Now, as long as we can exchange these for some foodstuffs and eat, there is nothing to be reluctant of wasting them. After all, nothing is more valuable than life.

Girl, if you are willing to accept these and exchange foodstuffs with me, I would be really grateful to you.”

After listening to the woman’s words, Zhao Xiulan sighed secretly in her heart.

What the woman said is not unreasonable. For these things, jades can’t be exchanged for much money and the country won’t even accept it as well. On the contrary, gold can be exchanged for some money, but the completeness of the golden hairpin will be destroyed. The woman is probably reluctant to give it up, so she took these few things to the black market to take a chance and see if she could find someone that knew these things.
