Chapter 1377 Recalling the Bitter Past and Thinking of the Sweet Past 4

She often frequents the black market and claims to be able to see the situation of some people in the black market.

Many people who can't eat come to the black market to buy expensive food to save their lives, but some people with good living conditions come to the black market to buy some expensive food or high-priced non-staple food because they are not short of money.

Look at these old people, they should all belong to the latter, not pale and thin, but quite shiny.

Feng Qingxue doesn't need that little money, and doesn't want to take the risk of trading with several people at the same time.

Hearing her say this, several old people snorted and walked away. Someone muttered before leaving: "If I had known that they were here to rob things, I wouldn't have wasted time. After this arrest, there are too many monks and too little porridge."

Feng Qingxue turned around a few times, met few people, and didn't make a deal.

Just as she was about to leave and go to another black market or a flea market, she did leave the black market. As she was walking, she was stopped by an old woman who whispered, "Sister, do you have any food to sell?"

Feng Qingxue saw that she was pale and thin, and weak, so she sighed, "Come with me!"

The old woman was overjoyed and followed her immediately.

Feng Qingxue found a remote place, "I only have a few kilograms of fine grains and coarse grains, how much do you want?"

"Give me a few kilograms of coarse grains as you see fit, I'll just give you two dollars." The old woman was a little embarrassed and whispered, "I came from the countryside. The harvest was not good this year. I only got ten kilograms of wheat, and I exchanged them all for coarse grains. The New Year is coming soon, and there are only more than one kilogram of dried sweet potatoes at home. They will be gone after they are eaten today and tomorrow. I can't let my grandchildren go hungry during the New Year, right? It's not allowed to borrow grain at the end of the year."

Feng Qingxue grabbed a bag of mixed grain flour, which was a mixture of corn flour, black flour, dried sweet potato flour, and sorghum flour. It was about ten kilograms. She stuffed it into the old woman's mouth and turned to leave. She quickened her pace because of the old woman's calls behind her.

She couldn't help everyone, so she helped everyone she saw, otherwise she would feel uneasy.

The old woman held the flour bag with tears in her eyes, "Good man, good man, I met a good man again."

The business was not done, but a bag of coarse grains was sent out. Feng Qingxue knocked her head and rushed to the next black market to make several deals in succession.

It was almost the New Year, and the prices were higher than usual. Fine grains could be sold for a dollar per catty, and coarse grains could be sold for fifty cents.

Although Feng Qingxue spent money lavishly and her family's savings were getting less and less, she really didn't need this little money, but she still traded seriously with people, even those who looked obviously lacking in food and clothing.

After selling grains worth thirty or forty yuan, she only met a poor capitalist who sold jewelry.

According to the other party's asking price, Feng Qingxue bought all the jewelry he brought out with thirty catties of cornmeal and ten catties of flour.

For Feng Qingxue, this was the biggest gain today.

After a round of walking around the flea market, Feng Qingxue, who had gained a lot, met a limping rural woman begging for food on the street. But everyone's life was not easy, who could help her?

A middle-aged woman sighed and stuffed a coarse flour steamed bread into her hand.

"Thank you, thank you, Auntie, you are a good person, you will definitely be rewarded in the future." The woman knelt down and kowtowed, then knelt on the ground, not caring about her dirty hands, broke off a piece of steamed bread and stuffed it into her mouth, and ate it voraciously, fearing that the middle-aged woman would regret it or that it would be snatched away by others.
