41. Transactions
"Uncle, do you need to lead the way......?
"Go, go, go away!" The man who came out of the union kicked away the dirty children around him, he had been in H City for more than half a month, and he still needed someone to lead the way.
The child was yellow and thin, and he was kicked in pain but gritted his teeth and did not say a word, because he knew that his father was still waiting for him at home, and he had to earn enough food to change his medicine.
His eyes were wide open, with a stubborn and resolute glow in them, and he got up from the ground, patted the dust with his hands, and continued to limp in search of the next deal.
"Tantai Yan, you still don't let go?" Walking to the door, Fei Nuo couldn't help but poke his waist with his elbow, before he wanted to pretend to be intimate, she recognized it, but now that the woman is out of sight, why hasn't he let go?
Yutai Yan smiled elegantly: "This is a trade union, it's better to be careful, in case she doesn't give up on catching up, won't her previous efforts be wasted?"
"You're thinking too much. Fei Nuo rolled her eyes helplessly.
"No matter how much I think about it, I don't want to be entangled by such a woman, it's too troublesome!" knew that Fei Nuo was right, but he didn't want to let go at all.
"Brother. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, the child's eyes lit up, and he didn't care whether his body hurt or not, he directly shook off the others and rushed to Fei Nuo's side, "Brother, do you need a guide? I am very familiar with H City, I can take people anywhere in the base, and I am cheap, just a loaf of bread." ”
As if he was afraid of being rejected, the child spoke quickly, his whole person was dirty, but when he spoke, he spoke clearly and coherently.
Tan Taiyan looked at him, his eyes widened, and they were full of hope: "Let's go, we just arrived in H City today, you take us to the trading market first, and then go to Area B." ”
Seeing the child's desire for food, he didn't refuse the banquet, anyway, it was just a bread, and he didn't care.
"Thank you, brother. The child happily led the way.
The base of H City is divided into five areas, among which the best conditions and the highest treatment is Area A, Area A is in the center of the base, where the rulers of the base live, they are the top leaders of H City before the end of the world, and after the end of the world, they quickly established a survivor base with strong means and weapons.
The whole base is circular in shape, from the inside to the outside are Area A, Area B, Area C, trading area and slum area. Outside Area A is Area B, and there are a few people living in Area B, and there are strong and weak people with abilities, but no matter what the strength is, a person with special abilities can only bring an ordinary person to live in Area B.
For this reason, the base is divided into Area C, which is inhabited by the families and friends of those in power or abilities, and only a very few ordinary people who are capable.
As for the trading area, it is divided into a union and a trading market, where you can receive tasks and exchange information, and where you can exchange goods. Paper money in the last days is worthless, so things that are not needed will be exchanged, and whether they can be exchanged depends on their ability and luck.
"Brother, the trading market is here. In about ten minutes, the child took them to the market.
However, because of the bad weather, there are not many people here, and even many stalls are empty. Yutai Yan and Fei Nuo looked at it casually, and this look found that most of the things were messy.
"Come on, come and see, good cold medicine, fever medicine, only five loaves of bread each. A middle-aged man in a black leather coat saw Yutai Yan and Fei Nuo and began to enthusiastically sell his things.
His family opened a pharmacy before the end of the world, and the family finally escaped to H City, and there were only these ordinary drugs left around them. But fortunately, medicine is scarce in the last days, and even cold medicine can be exchanged for a lot of food. With these boxes of medicine, he not only rented a house in Area C, but also got enough food for his family to live on for two months.
And today is his last day to set up a stall, and there are only two boxes of medicine left in his hand, and one box should be kept just in case, so there is only one plate of cold medicine and two fever reducers left on the stall.
Tan Taiyan was not interested in these medicines, he felt that the cold and fever would pass as long as he endured it, and Fei Nuo couldn't look down on it because there were many drugs in the space, only the child's eyes were glued to the antipyretics.
His father had been burning it for two days, but he had only earned three loaves of bread so far.
"Boss, two antipyretics. Looking at the poor child, Fei Nuo took out six packets of compressed biscuits from his backpack, "I don't have bread, can I exchange six packets of compressed biscuits for two fever reducers?"
"Yes, yes. The middle-aged man nodded busily, knowing that a loaf of bread is only enough to eat one meal, and if a compressible biscuit is saved, it is enough for one person to eat two or three meals, and it is too late for him to be happy with such a good thing, so how can he refuse.
The two quickly exchanged things in their hands, and the middle-aged man did not delay, and directly packed his things and went home. After all, there was a lot of chaos in the trading market, and he was afraid that someone would look at the food in his hand and attack him. He still has a wife and children at home, and safety is the most important thing.
The child looked pitifully, but only watched, he knew that in the last days he could only rely on himself, and no one would pity him because he was a child.
Fei Nuo didn't speak, just put the antipyretic medicine in his pocket, there are many people here, and if he gave the medicine directly to the child, it would only cause him trouble.
The three of them continued to walk forward, and Fei Nuo and Yutai Yan were in a state of interest until they saw all kinds of crystal nuclei in a corner.
"Boss, what is this?" Fei Nuo crouched down and picked up a fiery red crystal nucleus.
"Miss really has an eye, this is a top-level red jade, if it can be made into jewelry, it will definitely make Miss more beautiful!" Seeing Fei Nuo, who was neatly dressed and had an outstanding appearance, the young man's eyes instantly lit up.
In the last days, jewelry is not valuable, only those who are powerful and do not lack food and clothing will exchange precious food, otherwise if a person can't even eat, who cares about dressing up, they just need a piece of clothing to cover their bodies.
"How do you sell it?" Without waiting for Fei Nuo to speak, the Tang Tai Yan looked at the young man nonchalantly.
"Eight pieces of bread per loaf, the cheapest, don't believe you look around, no matter what jewelry is not as good as mine. Seeing that the two of them didn't look like they were short of food, the young man secretly reduced the number of pieces exchanged.
He had bought all these things from someone else with a loaf of bread, and he thought that he could exchange some food, but he didn't sell them for a week, and now he finally met a customer, and of course he had to raise the price appropriately.
"All forty-two, two packs of compressed biscuits can be changed?" Fei Nuo was not polite to him, you must know that in the previous life, before the crystal nucleus effect was discovered, one loaf of bread could be exchanged for a large handful.
"This ......," the young man was overjoyed, but there was an embarrassed expression on his face, "I risked my life to bring these out, or four packets of compressed biscuits?" he bargained.
Yutai Yan chuckled: "In the last days, the jewelry can't be sold at all, you can sell two packs of compressed biscuits if you want, and if you don't want to sell us, we'll leave." As he spoke, he pulled Fei Nuo up and made a gesture to leave.
"Sell, sell, sell. Seeing that they were leaving, the young man agreed one after another, although this thing looked beautiful, but he was a big man who could neither use nor eat, it was better to change it to food, and he only used one loaf of bread when he changed it, and now he was able to exchange it for two packs of compressed biscuits.
In case he bites and doesn't let go, and the people really leave, he won't lose a lot!
He wrapped the crystal nucleus with his hands and feet, and then pretended to be in pain and took the compressed biscuit from Fei Nuo's hand, "Miss, see if there is anything you want, I have the most complete things here, if you want, I will give you a cheaper price." ”
"No need. Fei Nuo glanced at it and refused, although he had a lot of things here, but except for the crystal nucleus, nothing else was useful, they had better weapons, and the clothes were completely out of size, even if they bought it, they wouldn't need it.
The two of them walked through the entire trading market under the guidance of the child, but except for the forty-two crystal nuclei at the beginning, they did not see any other crystal nuclei.
"Brother, do you still want this kind of beautiful stone?" The child looked up timidly from the trading market and asked the Tai Yan, he knew where such beautiful stones were, but he was afraid that they would be unhappy, so he hesitated for a long time before speaking cautiously.
"Yes, do you know where this kind of stone is?"
The child nodded excitedly: "I know a place where there are many, many beautiful stones, if I bring my brother and sister over, can you give me another bread?" He asked cautiously, he just wanted to change a fever reducer for his father, this time he could get a loaf of bread for leading the way, and if there was another loaf of bread, he could change to a fever reducer.
"Good. "Tan Tai Yan touched his hair and agreed, they came to the trading market this time for the crystal nucleus, since the child knows, then it is nothing to let him lead the way to change a loaf.
The two followed the child to a shop in Zone C, which sells jewelry, perfumes and cosmetics. They had no interest in anything else, and just glanced at the dense crystal nuclei on the counter.
"Just look at it, if you want anything, call me directly. Hearing the footsteps, the shopkeeper played with the tablet in his hand without raising his head, anyway, for her, opening a store is just to pass the time, as for whether things are sold or not, and what price to sell depends entirely on her mood.
