Chapter 1046： hard times 1

The next day, Zhao Xiulan went to the black market here to see if she could sell something.

There is a shortage of food in the northwest, and the little food in Zhao Xiulan's hands is very easy to sell.

After finding a few well-dressed ones, Zhao Xiulan went over to ask, and soon completed a few transactions.

Compared with other places, the black market transaction price on the northwest side is even higher.

There is no way, there is too little food, these days, as long as I can survive and not starve to death, I don't care if I spend more money.

Money is something that you can't take with you in life or death. It's useless no matter how reluctant you are. In order not to starve to death, you have to buy expensive food.

In addition to selling some refined grains, Zhao Xiulan also sold some coarse grains.

Compared with the price of refined grains, coarse grains are much cheaper. You can buy more for the same amount of money, regardless of whether they taste good or not. The most important thing is to be full.

Walking around the street, I saw some people lying on the ground hungry, huddled in the corner, and many dying, looking very pitiful.

There are too many situations like this, and so many people in the city are like this. In the countryside, I'm afraid the situation will be more serious.

Zhao Xiulan is very sympathetic to these people who can't eat, but so many people have no food, and she can't help all of them.

Seeing those poor people, Zhao Xiulan could only throw away a few wowotou and steamed buns.

Although it is not a good thing, it can fill the stomach anyway.

Seeing an old couple lying on the ground hungry and unable to move, Zhao Xiulan, who had dressed up in disguise, looked pitiful, so she walked over and dropped a few steamed buns.

"Daughter, thank you, thank you." The old lady held the steamed bun in her hand and thanked her with a grateful face.

Zhao Xiulan looked around and said in a low voice, "Grandma, you're welcome, hurry up and eat it, don't let anyone find out."

If this is discovered, it may bring trouble to Zhao Xiulan.

The old lady nodded hurriedly, "Okay, girl, thank you."

The old lady was holding the steamed bun, and subconsciously wanted to feed the dying old man leaning against the wall first, "Old man, there is something to eat. Come on, open your mouth and take a few bites."

Hearing the old lady's call, the old man opened his mouth with difficulty.

Seeing that the old man's mouth couldn't open much, the old lady broke the steamed bun and stuffed it into the old man's mouth, feeding him saliva by the way.

After eating a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, the old man's condition is better.

The old lady was reluctant to eat it herself, there were only a few steamed buns, and they were gone after eating.

She can still hold on, save the old man to eat, and let the old man hold on for a few more days.

"You eat too" the old man said weakly when he saw that the old lady didn't eat.

"I know, you eat first, I'm not very hungry yet." The old lady replied.

Seeing that the old couple was so pitiful, Zhao Xiulan's nose was a little sour, she left a few more steamed buns for them, and then left.

That's all she can do. After all, her ability is limited and she just wants to help. There are so many people in need, and she can't help them one by one.

Everyone has their own destiny. She sympathizes with people who were born in this difficult era. If they can be born in the 21st century, they don't have to worry about food and drink.

No matter how hard it is, there will be light after the darkness, and one day, the people's life will be better.

After Zhao Xiulan wandered around the black market again, in addition to buying her food with money, she also exchanged gold and jewelry for food. Overall, the harvest was not bad.
