Chapter 176: Appointment



Since the old man needed medicine to save his grandson, Yao Ran said, "Old Grandpa, I have antipyretics and some broken rice. What do you think of this business? Do you want it?"

The old man's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, "Of course I want it."

Realizing that he was too excited, the old man calmed down and asked in a low voice, "Young Lady, which antique do you want?"

Yao Ran smiled and pointed at two ceramic vases, "Except for these two vases, I want them all."

The old man looked at the two vases and thought, "This young lady has really good eyes. She took everything except for these two china bone vases.'

A young woman who recognized the value of his goods must have come from a prestigious and influential family. Moreover, judging from her clean appearance and high-quality clothes, the old man knew that she was someone that he couldn't offend.

Thinking of this, the old man became more polite when speaking to Yao Ran.

He nodded and said, "Young Lady, you bought a lot today, so I will give you a cheaper price." Yao Ran smiled, "Thank you, Old Grandpa. Please help me calculate the price."

The old man introduced the antiques to Yao Ran one by one and quoted the price. If she found the price too expensive, they would negotiate on the spot.

When she was negotiating with the old man, passers-by looked at her like she was an idiot. Who in their right mind still buys antiques in today's world?

After some negotiation, Yao Ran took out five kilograms of broken rice and ten antipyretic pills.

Seeing that she was interested in his antiques, the old man replied, "I still have three boxes of antiques on hand. If you want to see them, we can make an appointment. You can choose the place and time."

Yao Ran thought for a while and said, "Let's meet tomorrow. We can meet at the entrance of the trading market at eight o'clock in the morning."

Upon hearing this, the old man readily agreed. Renting a stall for a day costs him three hundred grams of mixed rice, so Yao Ran's suggestion could help him save the food to rent the stall.

The old man quickly nodded and said, "Alright. I will wait for you tomorrow in front of the trading market."

After making an appointment with the old man, Yao Ran left with Long Yu.

Sensing her good mood, the corner of Long Yu's lips curved up slightly. He didn't know why Yao Ran bought those antiques, but since she liked them, he would find more for her in the future. With this in mind, he strolled around the market with her.

As they asked around, they found out that the prices of tea, cigarettes, alcohol, and medicines had risen again, especially antipyretics, anti-inflammatories, and antibiotics. One pill can be exchanged for a few kilograms of food.

People who hoard medicines are like people who invest in stocks and real estate. They are all waiting for the medicine prices to rise again to maximize profits.

After walking for nearly two hours, they decided to meet their friends at the entrance of the trading market. Long Yu and Yao Ran waited for a while and saw Shi Xuan and Jia Xiang arriving. Soon, Huang Qian, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi also came back.

Seeing that none of them bought anything, Yao Ran asked, "You guys didn't buy anything?" Huang Zhihui shook her head and answered, "Things are so expensive, and we don't lack food or medicine. We just look around at the trading market and check out the prices of supplies." Although they didn't buy anything, everyone was in a good mood and decided to go back early. After returning home, Long Yu sent Yao Ran back.

He helped her take the antiques out of her backpack and asked curiously, "Ran Ran, why did you buy so many antiques? Do you like them?"

After putting antiques into the space, Yao Ran said, "Feeding the space with antiques can upgrade the space."
