Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies novel Chapter 176

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.

Because there were many people around, Yao Ran could only put the antiques in her backpack first and then send them to her space after returning home. It would make people suspicious if they saw that she had bought so many antiques, but her backpack was empty.

Seeing that her backpack was full, Long Yu said, "Put the rest in my backpack."

Yao Ran nodded and put the remaining antiques into Long Yu's backpack. After they were done packing up the antiques, Long Yu picked up her heavy backpack and handed his lighter backpack to Yao Ran.

Just as they were about to leave, the old man quickly stopped her, "Young Lady, please wait a moment."

Yao Ran turned to look at the old man with a question in her eyes.

The old man hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Young Lady, I still have antiques at home. Do you still want them?"

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."
