Chapter 73: Delicious Roasted Chicken?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After she walked one round in the black market carrying her basket, she saw an elderly.

The elderly was of advanced age. She could tell the passage of time from his face. But his eyes looked different from other people.

His clothes were sewn many times. It was old but very clean. He looked poor but he also gave her a different feeling.

As Gu Qingyao sized up the elder, he looked over as well. He stared at her basket and his eyes revealed his intention.

“Do you want fine grains?” Gu Qingyao walked over and asked.

The elderly’s eyes sparkled, “Yes. Can I exchange with you?”

His second sentence was said very softly.

Exchange?

That meant he did not have money but valuable goods.

Gu Qingyao nodded, “Let’s go over there.”

Gu Qingyao reached a relatively secret place that was easy to run away.

“I have fine grains and also coarse grains. What do you want?”

“White rice; flour will be the best. Cornflour will do as well.”

Gu Qingyao took a glimpse at him. He must be a rich person. The revolution caused them to reach this stage today. They were used to a high standard of living. They still wanted to have a good life if their financial status allowed.

Gu Qingyao smiled, “Okay. I have all of those, and eggs, noodles. What do you have?”

The elderly’s eyes sparkled again and took out some goods from his pocket.

He covered the goods with his clothes and showed them to Gu Qingyao secretly.

There was a very pretty set of jade jewelry with a bracelet, pearl, ring and earrings.

Goods from such an elderly must be of high quality. Usually, the goods were jewelry and jade stones as they were worth nothing in this age.

If others knew about their possession of those valuables, they would face some troubles. It would be really worth it if they could use them to exchange for food that could save their lives.

The elderly looked at Gu Qingyao in a pitiful way, “Girl, please exchange with me! I haven’t eaten anything in the past three days. My wife could not even walk properly. We’re counting on the food to save our lives. Please!”

Gu Qingyao: “...”

Gu Qingyao almost laughed as she stared at his sincere eyes.

‘Only a ghost will believe in your nonsense!’

What a cunning old man!

“I’ll take these and exchange with you two and a half kilos of white rice, two and a half kilos of fine flour, five kilos of cornflour. Plus another one kilo of noodles and one kilo of meat.”

The elderly was stunned.

So... So much food?

Gu Qingyao had more than sufficient food in her hand. She did not mind giving out more as long as it was not too much that would capture other’s attention.

The set of jade jewelry was definitely top quality. Gu Qingyao felt in love with the set at first glance. The jade bracelet was comparable with the emperor jade. She really loved it!

Women could not resist jewelry naturally. She was in a good mood so she was willing to offer more food.

It was possible that the elderly had other goods based on his acting skills.

“Sure, sure, sure! Thank you, young lady! I’ll exchange with you!”

The elderly immediately passed the jewelry to Gu Qingyao.

As Gu Qingyao was taking out the food from her basket, she suddenly recalled something and said, “Grandpa, I have half of a roasted chicken. Do you want that?”

Gu Qingyao took out something from her basket that was wrapped in brown paper. She unwrapped slightly and the fragrance of the roasted chicken floated out.

The elderly swallowed his saliva as he stared straight at the roasted chicken.

Roast... roasted chicken?

It smelled so good!
