Being a widow with three children, I drove a BMW in the 1980s

Chapter 68 Emerald Bracelet
"This flour of mine is a good thing. It's not very white. It's made of fine wheat. There's no such good thing as mine in other places!"

Ever since Aunt Luo came to buy something, the acquaintances around her couldn't help but want to inquire about the good things in her house!
But it can't always be at Qu's house. With so many people coming and going, it's easy to be noticed. Then it will be bad for Teacher Guo, who still teaches her two children.

So they discussed and moved the place where they sell things to a small alley behind Aunt Luo's house.

There are too many people in the black market, and I heard that the investigation has been strict recently. Although the actors here are small, they are connected to several families. It is also convenient when escaping, and they can hang out everywhere.
The most important thing is that their homes are here.

As soon as Cheng Li took out the flour in her hand, the aunts at the front were already excited. They haven't seen such good flour in many years.

"How do you sell this flour, girl?"

The biggest concern is still the price.

"Don't worry about this price. It's a real price. You were all introduced by Aunt Luo. Let's do this. I'll give you [-] pounds of flour."

Eighteen cents, this price is an affordable price, but the supply and marketing cooperative costs [-] cents, and you also need food stamps. Without food stamps, it is useless.

"I want, girl, weigh me two pounds!"

"I want it too, weigh me three pounds."

While the ladies in front of her were rushing to buy, Cheng Li shook her head.

"I don't just sell the flour alone, I also sell it in [-]-pound bags."

Because now that the supermarket has been upgraded, once she unlocks the flour, it comes in [-]-pound bags, and she doesn’t have the bags or scales to sell it for retail.

Twenty pounds is three dollars and sixty cents!

You can buy four to five kilograms of pork and eat it. At a time when you have to split a dime to spend it, three and sixty cents is a huge sum of money!
For a while, everyone was a little intimidated.

It’s okay to say less, but it’s not that I don’t want to buy so much, it’s just that I can’t afford it!

Suddenly, a mother-in-law with some gray hair on her temples came up, first looked at the flour carefully, and then looked at Cheng Li with a smile.

"Girl, I heard that you are collecting other things!"

Cheng Li's eyes lit up, this was what she was waiting for.

"Yes, I'll accept it, but I have to see something first."

"Then please, girl, please come with me."

This mother-in-law's surname is Ma. Although she is very old, her back is straight. She looks like someone from the public, and her conversation sounds like someone who has read a book.

Such people may have good stuff in their hands.

The place where she lives is not very far away, but it is very small. There is only one room that seems to be separated from the house. The cooking stoves are all randomly built outside. It is very simple, but it is better than their thatched house. Click.

"My home is a little rough, so please be more considerate."

"It's okay, it's okay, my house is still a thatched house."

After listening to her words, Granny Ma just smiled and said nothing.

"Linglong, are you back?"

Cheng Li was a little surprised that there was another person in the house. She didn't expect that such a big house could accommodate two people.

There was a hoarse voice inside, and it was another elderly woman. The moment she saw Cheng Li, her cloudy eyes showed a hint of panic, and she hurriedly turned her head away, trying to hide.

"She's a sales girl, don't be afraid."

Hearing this, the old woman was slightly relieved, but she did not dare to look directly at Cheng Li. She lowered her head and didn't know where she was looking.

"Girl, you and I."

As she said that, she closed the door of the room, and opened it again after a while. Only this time she had a gold bracelet on her hand, with flowers, birds, insects and fish carved on it. It's hard to see how delicate it is.

"Is this okay?" Of course it is, that's great.

"Can I come in and talk?"

Granny Ma felt hopeful and quickly opened the door to let her in.

Cheng Li put down the basket on her back, took the bracelet in her hand, and weighed it. It was much lighter than she expected.

"Mother-in-law, your bracelet is very beautiful, but the weight is a bit light. You can change it to flour, but I have something else. See if you want it."

As he said that, he opened the cloth covering his lowered back basket. There were so many things inside that it shocked the two people in front of him.

In addition to the flour she carried in her hand, she also had rice, noodles, oil, salt, soy and vinegar, pork, cloth, sugar, and soap.

"Girl, can you buy all these things?"

The piece of pork alone probably weighed four or five kilograms, and the fat was half a finger thick. It looked really good!
"Of course, but your gold bracelet is too light."

She took out so many things just to make bait. Naturally, what she caught was gold. The more and the heavier, the better!

Granny Ma thought for a while and hesitated a little, "I only have this gold bracelet."

"Can I exchange it for something else?" the old woman sitting on the bed suddenly said.

"for example?"

"Jade jade bracelet, okay?"

"no!"

Cheng Li hadn't spoken yet, but Granny Ma had rejection written all over her face and her expression was serious.

"That's your heirloom!" Granny Ma sat in front of the bed and persuaded softly, "Let's change the flour first and eat it. It's enough for the two of us. Don't touch your bracelet."

"Things are dead, but people are alive. As long as we live well, that's enough!"

Cheng Li took a look at this house. Apart from being small, it could really be considered impoverished. It had nothing, and she could see how poor it was at a glance.

The woman on the bed was very resolute. No matter how the people in front of her tried to persuade her, she ignored them.

Granny Ma could only obey her, and she dug under the bed and pulled out a dark box. When she opened it, she found a jadeite bracelet that was all green.

Although Cheng Li didn't know much about jade, she knew it was a good thing just by looking at the color of the bracelet.

"Are you really going to trade this bracelet for these things?"

Although it is said that gold is in troubled times and antiques are in prosperous times, she knows the future direction in the future.

The country will get better and better and more prosperous, and the value of this bracelet will only get higher and higher.

Granny Ma's eyes fell on the bracelet and she smiled bitterly.

"This was originally left to her by her mother. It has been passed down for countless generations. Alas, let's change it."

"Row."

Cheng Li took out all the things in her backpack and placed them on their table one by one, completely occupying their small table.

"You have to eat this meat quickly, otherwise it will be bad if it goes bad. If you can find a place to hide these things, hide them. If you can't find them, I will put them at Qushanping's house for you. If you want, go and get them."

After thinking about how much advantage she had taken, she still spoke, "By the way, I told the outside world that I sold flour to you. If they come and ask you to buy some, you can also consider the selling point and go out, which will not only exchange money but also You won’t let others keep an eye on you.”

Two old people, the ingredients are not good, they bought so much flour, I'm afraid they will attract jealousy!
