Chapter 73: Delicious Roasted Chicken?
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 .
If others knew about their possession of those valuables, they would face some troubles . It would be really worth it if they could use them to exchange for food that could save their lives .
The elderly looked at Gu Qingyao in a pitiful way, “Girl, please exchange with me! I haven’t eaten anything in the past three days . My wife could not even walk properly . We’re counting on the food to save our lives . Please!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Gu Qingyao almost laughed as she stared at his sincere eyes .
‘Only a ghost will believe in your nonsense!’
What a cunning old man!

“I’ll take these and exchange with you two and a half kilos of white rice, two and a half kilos of fine flour, five kilos of cornflour . Plus another one kilo of noodles and one kilo of meat . ”
The elderly was stunned .
So… So much food?
Gu Qingyao had more than sufficient food in her hand . She did not mind giving out more as long as it was not too much that would capture other’s attention .
The set of jade jewelry was definitely top quality . Gu Qingyao felt in love with the set at first glance . The jade bracelet was comparable with the emperor jade . She really loved it!
Women could not resist jewelry naturally . She was in a good mood so she was willing to offer more food .
It was possible that the elderly had other goods based on his acting skills .
“Sure, sure, sure! Thank you, young lady! I’ll exchange with you!”

The elderly immediately passed the jewelry to Gu Qingyao .
As Gu Qingyao was taking out the food from her basket, she suddenly recalled something and said, “Grandpa, I have half of a roasted chicken . Do you want that?”
Gu Qingyao took out something from her basket that was wrapped in brown paper . She unwrapped slightly and the fragrance of the roasted chicken floated out .
The elderly swallowed his saliva as he stared straight at the roasted chicken .
Roast… roasted chicken?
It smelled so good!
