The small market is very lively and its scale continues to expand. The vendors used to do business in the corridors, but now the rooms are full and occupy two and a half floors.
Ruan Ning hadn’t been shopping for a long time, so she decided to go upstairs first to familiarize herself with the prices.
There were people on the 8th floor when she came last time, but not so many now. Ruan Ning found that most people were standing at the door of an office. There were also people crowded inside, with no space at all.
Ruan Ning couldn’t see what was being sold inside, so she curiously asked a man next to her, “Brother, what good things are being sold here? Why are there so many people?”
The brother said, “Don’t you know? They sell expired food here. I don’t know where they come from. There are all kinds of snacks and two bags of expired beef jerky.”
Speaking of beef jerky, the brother swallowed hard.
Ruan Ning didn’t foolishly ask why so many people were looking at expired food: “Have those two bags of beef jerky been sold?”
The brother shook his head and said, “No, most people here just enjoy the sight. How can they afford it? But I heard that there are cheap expired drinks, that is, sweet water, which are snapped up in a short time.”
Ruan Ning pretended to be surprised and chatted nonsense with the brother.
Then, she continued going inside.
There were all kinds of things for sale on the eighth floor. Ruan Ning saw a stall of old clothes in front, and two people were picking and choosing there.
She thought about it. Then, she followed others to spread a mat on the ground, then lit a fire beside her, and put two catties of compressed biscuits in front of her.
After a while, a man in his sixties came over and asked, “Girl, are you selling compressed biscuits?”
Ruan Ning said: “Well, what can you exchange for?”
The old man fumbled around and took out a gold bracelet: “Would you like this?”
Nowadays, many people don’t accept gold items, after all, they can’t be eaten at all.
Ruan Ning said: “I can accept it, but the price is not high. How do you want to exchange it?”
The old man said, “This is the only gold ornament my wife has. It weighs 40 grams. Can I exchange it for 2 catties of compressed biscuits?”
He said it with a guilty conscience.
Although the gold bracelet was valuable, it was not worth the food now. He just asked seven or eight families, but none of them wanted gold.
The old man and his wife thought that gold would become more and more valuable in the future, but they didn’t expect that it couldn’t be exchanged for anything now.
So, the old man was feeling guilty and wondered if he was asking for a high price.
Ruan Ning nodded: “Okay.”
The old man’s face lit up with joy.
The two of them exchanged money and goods. Ruan Ning took the gold bracelets and weighed them, and then she put them into space.
This bracelet was indeed 40 grams, which meant that she gained a total of 80 grams of gold.
It was not bad.
After the old man left, Ruan Ning took out two catties of compressed biscuits and placed them on the ground.
The vendor next to her said in disbelief: “You actually exchanged compressed biscuits for gold. Are you crazy?”
Ruan Ning smiled and said, “If you have gold, I will also exchange it.”
The man muttered twice and stopped talking.
After a while, someone else came to ask for the price, but this person’s offer was unreliable, so Ruan Ning did not do the business.
Twenty minutes later, after figuring out the prices, Ruan Ning packed up her stall and prepared to leave.
