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.
