Chapter 86 Trading
Dismal and depressed, there are few people in the Pigeon Market, few people are selling things, but many people are buying things.
It was still the same when I came in, no changes. There were almost no people selling grain, but there were some people selling game, but they all wanted to exchange it for grain.
Money cannot be eaten. In times of famine, people still want to eat food.
Wang Xiaohu covered his face and took out a bag of food from the space and wrapped it around his head several times, making it impossible to tell who he was.
After walking two steps forward, I saw Sha Zhu negotiating a deal with someone.
"My friend, I only want a pheasant, just one. I can pay 3 yuan per pound, so please sell it to me."
"It's not that I don't want to sell, it's that my family has run out of food. I caught two with great difficulty, and I'm hoping to exchange them for some food. Don't bother me doing business here." The person who spoke was also an honest man. You could tell he was a farmer just by looking at his pretense. There were not many places to hunt nearby, so he was most likely from Changping.
Sha Zhu had the money in his hand but couldn't spend it, so he touched his grown hair in annoyance.
"Then I'll look somewhere else."
The old man was also helpless. He had no choice. He didn't know how many people had come today. What's the use of money? It would be better for him to eat two pheasants.
However, he also realized for the first time that there were really many rich people in the city, which was incomparable to the countryside.
Seeing Sha Zhu walking away, Wang Xiaohu went to a corner, took out 15 kilograms of flour and walked over.
"My fellow countryman, I like these two pheasants. How heavy are they?" Transactions in the pigeon market cannot be handled by hand. For example, in this situation, Wang Xiaohu cannot stretch out his hands, otherwise the other party will think you are trying to steal something. The only way is to exchange the money for the goods.
"Two pheasants, a total of four pounds, the market price is 8 yuan, I just want food."
"Then let's exchange goods by weight, one pound of meat for two pounds of flour, how about that?" Wang Xiaohu suggested. The other party would definitely not agree to this exchange, but when doing business, you can name a high price and pay a low price.
Obviously the other party also understood this. It was rare to come across someone with food, and the old farmer didn't want to give up.
"One for two is too little. According to the price, it should be one for four, or even one for five."
"Don't even think about 2.5 for . I think for is a bit expensive. Don't bully me because I don't know the market." Wang Xiaohu did some calculations and said, "Then let's do for ."
"One for three! I'll come back to you later when I have meat. And if you agree, I'll have something good too."
"Oh? What good stuff? I don't like ordinary things." Wang Xiaohu doesn't care much about food, but he is quite interested in old things.
It’s not that I want to exchange them for money in the future, I just want to collect some so that I can touch and look at them when I have nothing to do.
"So you agree?" The old farmer pointed at the bag Wang Xiaohu put on the ground, his mouth watering.
"Who made me like eating chicken? I'll exchange it for three for one. I'll give you 12 kilograms of grain, but I have 15 kilograms here. What is the good thing you are talking about? Can it be worth three kilograms of flour? You should know that in the countryside you can marry a wife with a few kilograms of flour." Wang Xiaohu said this to show that he was not so easy to fool.
"Come with me, let's go to the side to do the transaction." The old man took Wang Xiaohu into a small alley. Others would not dare to do so, but he was not afraid. If it didn't work, he would just hide in the space.
"Goudan, Goudan~" The old man called out twice, and then a little boy of about twelve or thirteen years old ran out.
"Uncle Chen."
slap~
"Call me a nickname when you're out and about!"
"Oh! Old tree roots."
"Hurry up and take out the good stuff to show this gentleman. If possible, we will have food to eat." Chen Laoshugen was rummaging around and opening the bag on Goudan's back.
A yellow light almost blinded Wang Xiaohu's eyes. Under the moonlight, he saw a palm-sized golden Maitreya Buddha sitting vividly in his hand.
"What a good stuff, it's gold?" Wang Xiaohu subconsciously wanted to go there and get it.
"Oh? You don't understand the rules, right? But we know each other, so I can show it to you." Old Chen threw it over nonchalantly.
It's confirmed, this guy must have more than one treasure. Whose grave did he dig up to find such a good thing?
The golden Buddha I purchased was very heavy, most likely made of gold.
"The weight seems to be correct, but I'm not sure if it's real gold." Wang Xiaohu was excited. The thing in his hand could no longer be measured by the price of gold. It was an old item.
"It must be true. We just dug it up yesterday." The little boy Goudan shouted unconvinced.
"Dig it? Don't call me Goudan, that's brave enough. I'm very satisfied with this thing. What are you going to do with it?" Wang Xiaohu actually has a way to determine whether it is real gold. As long as he puts it into the space, accurate information will be fed back to the brain.
"Just go by the gold price. Of course, it would be best to give food." Old man Chen waved his hand. He just wanted food.
"The current gold price is about 16 to 20 yuan per gram. You have nearly 300 grams here, which is equivalent to the weight of a large yellow croaker. You want to buy food with so much money? Even if I have it, how can you transport it back?"
Clap, clap, clap... Old man Chen clapped his hands three times, and suddenly, a dozen strong men emerged from the alley.
"This is just a small part of our production team. We will transport as much as you have." Old man Chen said proudly.
Wang Xiaohu was stunned. His first reaction was that the other party was trying to rob him.
"Fuck, what are you guys doing first? I've been trained before, I can beat ten people by myself."
"Don't get excited, we have no ill intentions." Old man Chen waved his hand quickly, and then saw these people hiding in various places.
"That's more like it. I'll charge you 3 yuan for this golden Buddha. You know the price of grain on the black market. It has increased several times. The price of corn flour here has also increased by cents per catty. Do you want it?" Wang Xiaohu just checked the grain in the space with his mind. There were more than catties of corn flour. Considering that the current processing of corn flour is not so sophisticated, the grain processing plants did not do a very good job in the next few waves of grain harvest.
So it seems like there is more grain, but in fact there is a lot more corn core inside.
