Chapter 91: A Chance Encounter With A Black Market Dealer



For the time being, the things in her space cannot be given to others, so Yao Ran has to find another way to get some winter supplies for Long Yu and the others.

Food and fuel prices have skyrocketed, but prices for clothes, quilts, and daily necessities have remained relatively unchanged. After all, people will prioritize food that is now hard to find.

Yao Ran browsed the shelves selling clothes and coats and saw a knee-length mink fur coat. The coat was very soft to the touch, and she felt warm when she put her hands inside it. She liked it and looked at the price.

A mink fur coat costs 60,000 yuan. It's very expensive.

They are available in both men's and women's styles, and prices vary depending on size. Yao Ran thought about it and bought fourteen of them at once. She prepared two pieces for each of them.

In addition to mink fur coats, there are also warm cotton jackets, down jackets, assault jackets, socks, rain boots, thermal underwear, etc.

Yao Ran bought some for each of them and then went to find Long Yu and the others.

Seeing that only a few items were in their shopping basket, she asked, "Are those the only ones you want to buy?"

Long Yu nodded, "Mhm. If you finish, we can pay and go back early."

"Alright."

After confirming that there was nothing more to buy, Yao Ran and Long Yu went to pay while Shi Xuan, Huang Qian, and Jia Xiang waited outside.

Yao Ran bought some compression bags and packed the purchased items with them after paying.

The price of rice actually increased by 200 yuan compared to yesterday. Moreover, this person dared to quote 100 yuan for a small pack of compressed biscuits. He really dares to open his mouth and has a huge appetite!

Unlike Huang Qian, who was surprised by the price, Yao Ran did not react after knowing the price.

After thinking for a while, she said, "I need to discuss it with my friends first."

The young man nodded, "Sure." Then he walked away and waited in the distance.

After the young man left, Yao Ran looked at the others and said, "We have more than one million left. Do you want to buy food from him?"

Long Yu said, "We don't have any connection to find other black market dealers, so we should try it."

The others listened to his words and nodded in agreement.

"Then what do you want to buy?" Yao Ran asked again.

Long Yu did not answer her question but asked her back, "What do you think?"

Yao Ran had thought about it and calmly said, "I want to buy compressed biscuits. Although rice is a good thing, we need water to cook it and side dishes to go with it. Moreover, the rice he provided was also salvaged from the water. I'm not sure if it's safe to eat."

"In addition, the shelf life of compressed biscuits is very long, at least a few years, and we can eat it directly. Compared with rice, the price is also lower. I also saw that his compressed biscuits are specially made for military rations. This is a good thing."

"Although spending 100 yuan to buy a pack of compressed biscuits seems expensive, one pack contains ten blocks of compressed biscuits. If we eat sparingly, a small pack of compressed biscuits can last for three to five days. This is a good deal."

After listening to her thoughts, Long Yu and others agreed with her and decided to buy compressed biscuits.
