070. Buying and selling
The dark market in Donghong Base has only developed for more than a month, and the things used to exchange for trading are not unusual, but the guns and ammunition aroused Fei Qianlan's interest, and when he was thinking about what to convert without losing money, he heard the person in charge of the dark market propose, "It's okay to barter things, and it's okay to buy them with energy stones." ”
"Oh, I wonder what is the most valuable now?" After hearing this, Fei Qianlan asked quietly curiously.
"In addition to the lack of value for clothing and jewelry, there is still a shortage of food and water. After thinking for a while, the person in charge of the dark market replied with a smile.
Hmph, it's only been a long time for everyone to know such a sentence. Ning Manman, who was pricking up his ears next to him, almost didn't roll his eyes at him.
"Well, I'll tell you quietly. After selling for a long time, the person in charge of the dark market whispered to his mouth, "Recently, there has been a tight shortage of salt, and the price has been rising rapidly. ”
"Salt? We don't really have that. Fei Qianlan, who also lowered her voice, immediately shook her head and said, admiring the shrewdness of the person in charge of this dark market in her heart, now is not a good time to sell refined salt, at least you have to wait for three or four months, and when the salt is facing a shortage before you can sit on the ground and start the price.
"This bullet and palm thunder, let's buy and sell it with energy stones. ”
Just when the person in charge of the dark market couldn't help but suspect that the other party was a poor ghost, he heard Fei Qianlan say something very dryly.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Manman, who was holding on to the big cloth bag and not letting go, rushed to the table in the room in a few steps, and poured out the energy stone with a bang.
The energy stones of various colors were piled up on the wooden table, almost dazzling the eyes of the person in charge of the dark market and the six bodyguards gathered in the room.
"There are five hundred power stones in this, and two of them are zombie animal power stones, which should be worth more than ordinary power stones. Three hundred gems to buy ammunition, and the rest for rice. The girl who was wearing a ball cap and couldn't see her face clearly said without hesitation.
The power stones in the bag have all been selected, and they are not afraid to be mixed with first-order power stones, leaving only more than a hundred in case of emergency. What's more, with the evolution speed of zombies, more and more power stones will be formed in the head, and the number of energy stones will increase, which will naturally depreciate.
In the food, except for those with good strength, other survivors prefer cooked food, and in the absence of water, the value of rice pasta is slightly lower, and a power stone can be exchanged for a pound of rice or a pound of noodles.
After Zhang Zhengtian quickly checked the number of energy stones, he took the three bodyguards to the back room with a smile. It didn't take long for them to carry one large and one small cardboard box, plus two bags of 50 kg and one bag of 25 kg of rice.
"Since it's a big deal, we don't have to worry about it, we just hope to take care of each other more in the future. The words were extremely beautiful, although the little girl was full of doubts about taking out five hundred energy stones in one go, but the ridiculous Zhang Zhengtian did not show it at all.
"Boss Zhang, that's what you say. It just so happens that there are a few more things, how much are they worth?!" After careful calculation, the person in charge of the dark market gave more than twenty catties of rice, and Fei Qianlan also took out a few things from the big bag that her mother was carrying.
Three bottles of different brands of soy sauce, three packs of different brands of monosodium glutamate, three bottles of different brands of white vinegar, three packs of different brands of chicken essence, and three packs of different brands of chili!
Looking at the very small number of things on the table, there were five varieties, Zhang Tianzheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and he regretted very much why he was so quick to talk for a while, and what to say about taking care of each other.
"Boss Zhang, don't look at the small amount of these seasonings, they are also things that we have worked so hard to collect. In order to successfully sell the things on the table, Ning Manman next to him was the first to jump out, and he confidently became a shrewd little businessman, "With these seasonings, the dishes made are really full of real color and flavor." Although we can't afford to use these things, wouldn't it be rare for the base to have more powerful people?"
"Scarcity is expensive, we don't need to say this truth, Boss Zhang, you must be very clear. Ning Manman picked up a bottle of soy sauce casually, pointed his finger to the production date marked on the bottle, and shook it to him, "Look, this is fresh, and the shelf life is two years!"
Seeing the production date of the label, Zhang Zhengtian also grabbed a bottle of white vinegar on the table, looked at it carefully, and found that if it was properly preserved, it would definitely be stored for a year and a half.
"If you wait another two or three months, the value of this condiment will increase several times. If it's on the auction, it's even more valuable!" Who would have thought that Ning Manman, who has a heroic personality, would have such a powerful mouth.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. When he heard the word auction, Zhang Zhengtian's eyes lit up obviously.
Maybe he was really moved by Ning Manman's boastful talk, or maybe he didn't want to listen to her chattering sales pitch anymore.
In the end, he finally accepted the items on the table and paid eighty power stones in exchange for trading.
As soon as the money and goods were gone, Zhang Zhengtian left in a hurry, for fear that if he was a little slower, these guys would come up with something to sell.
"Hey, Boss Zhang!" No matter how fast he counted the power stones, he was not as fast as Boss Zhang's flashing speed, Ning Manman looked up at his short and fat back, and muttered, "How can you go so fast." ”
Stretching out two fingers and gently tapping her friend's forehead, Fei Qianlan looked at her still dissatisfied round face with some amusement, "Don't get an inch." ”
"No, I just want to exchange eighty Power Stones for rice. In fact, there is also a small abacus in his heart, how could Ning Manman not know that it is most cost-effective to exchange the power stone for rice, "It's a pity, it's a bit of a loss." ”
"Well, Boss Zhang is a bit of a loss. Teasingly replied to her friend, Fei Qianlan hurriedly pulled her friend who was carefully putting the energy stone into the cloth bag, "Hurry up, it is estimated that Xiao Qi has already rented a car and is waiting outside." ”
Sure enough, an old van driven by Xiao Qi was waiting on the side of the road, and the three of them quickly moved their things into the car, and after Ning Manman paid Xiao Qi four energy stones, he went to the square in the fourth class area with Xiao Qi to wait.
The third-class area is inhabited by mutants and anomalous people, and the living conditions are relatively much better, so there are more areas to guard the gate.
Fei Qianlan drove the van to the third-class area, and after being checked by the doorman, she just shook the pale yellow badge on her chest and was allowed to pass.
As soon as she got into the car, she had already noticed that someone was following her, and she had already prepared and drove into the third-class area as planned.
Sure enough, the car behind it turned around and stopped for a while, and finally drove away.
The car was very familiar with the third-class area, and the regional route map that he bought in the hands of the two power stones had been deeply imprinted in Fei Qianlan's mind.
Turning into a deep alley with no one and blocking the view with the help of the towering sides of the building on three sides, Fei Qianlan carefully checked that there were no cameras around the car before putting all these things into the space.
The car began to circle around the third-class area twice, and after stopping in one place for ten minutes, she drove the car out and drove directly to the central square of the fourth-class area.
