Chapter 73 Roast Chicken? Oh! It Smells so Good!

When she appeared in the black market again with a backpack on her back, she turned around and saw an old man.

The old man was not young, and his face was full of vicissitudes, but his eyes showed that he was not an ordinary person.

The clothes he wore were full of patches and a little tattered, but they were washed very clean. Although he looked down and out, he made people feel that he was different.

When Gu Qingyao looked at him, the old man also looked over. Seeing Gu Qingyao's backpack, the old man stared at her, and his eyes explained everything.

Gu Qingyao walked over, "Do you want fine grains?"

The old man's eyes lit up, "Yes, can you change it?"

He asked the latter sentence in a very low voice.

Change?

That means he has no money, but he has good things.

Gu Qingyao nodded, "Let's go over there!"

It was still a relatively secret place, but it was also well connected and easy to escape. Gu Qingyao said, "I have a lot of fine grains and coarse grains here. What do you want?"

The old man said, "Rice and white flour are the best, cornmeal is also OK."

Gu Qingyao glanced at him. This is another rich guy! The times have led them to this point today, but they used to live a good life. Now as long as conditions permit, they still want to live a better life.

Gu Qingyao smiled and said, "Okay, I have all these, as well as eggs and noodles. What do you have?"

The old man's eyes brightened and he quickly took something out of his arms.

Using clothes to cover it, the old man carefully showed it to Gu Qingyao.

It was still a very beautiful set of jade jewelry, including jade bracelets, pearl flowers, rings, and earrings.

Generally, the things that this kind of old man took out would not be bad, but most of them were jewelry and jade. The reason was that these things were the least valuable at the moment.

Moreover, if they keep the food in their hands and are found out, they will be in trouble. Therefore, it is very cost-effective for these people to exchange these things for food that can save their lives.

The old man looked at Gu Qingyao pitifully, "Girl, please exchange with me! I haven't eaten for three days. My husband is so hungry that he can't walk. He is just waiting for food to save his life. Please, girl!"

Gu Qingyao: "..."

Looking at the other party's extremely sincere big eyes, Gu Qingyao almost laughed out loud.

I don't believe you!

You old man!

Gu Qingyao said: "I will accept these, and give you five catties of rice, five catties of fine white flour, ten catties of corn flour, and two catties of noodles and two catties of meat."

The old man was stunned!

This... so much?

Gu Qingyao has a lot of food, so it doesn't matter if she gives more, but she won't give too much to attract attention.

The old man took out top-grade jadeite, and Gu Qingyao fell in love with it at first sight. That pile of jade bracelets, the only difference between that and the imperial green is probably one top-grade one, it's so pleasing to the eye!

There's nothing you can do, women are born with no resistance to jewelry, she's in a good mood, so she just gives more.

Especially seeing that the old man is a drama queen, maybe he has something better in his hand.

"Okay, okay! Thank you, my girl! I'll trade with you!"

The old man quickly stuffed the things into Gu Qingyao's hands.

When Gu Qingyao took something out of the backpack, her eyes moved, "Grandpa, I still have half a roast chicken here, do you want it?"

Gu Qingyao took out something wrapped in kraft paper from the backpack, opened it a little bit, and the aroma of the roast chicken floated out.

The old man stared at the roast chicken with his eyes wide open, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Roast... roast chicken?

Oh! So fragrant!
