Quick Travel: Please hold on to the villain Black Moonlight script
Chapter 273: Saving the Villain’s Rival in the Chronicle 14
Zhao Xuan said without thinking, "Quilt, eight pounds of cotton quilt."
"When?"
"I want it now."
"You're lucky. You just got a quilt today, but the price..."
Zhao Xuan smiled. He knew that the things on the black market were definitely more expensive than those outside, but they also had the advantage that they didn't need to queue up, issue certificates or issue tickets.
However, the black market represents a great risk in this era. Once caught and imprisoned, you will be notified of criticism and put on record.
In this very strict environment, for some people, the black market is a way to support their families, but at the same time, the risks are huge.
Taking such a risk, Zhao Xuan took the initiative to come to the door. The other party also saw that Zhao Xuan needed it urgently, so the price was naturally not low.
Zhao Xuan's lips curled up slightly and he said calmly, "Say a price and see if I can accept it."
The man mentioned a price, and Zhao Xuan laughed rudely, "I want to buy a quilt, but that doesn't mean I have to buy it from you."
These words are not arrogant, they are telling men - don’t treat them as fools!
Zhao Xuan's eyes turned cold, and his peach-blossom eyes that were smiling before were no longer smiling at all.
The man only noticed that Zhao Xuan was dressed like a man who definitely had plenty of money. He also wore a brand-name watch. He looked like a fat sheep delivered to his door to be slaughtered. Therefore, he habitually offered a high price.
But he didn't expect that this time he really hit the wall. His intuition was indeed accurate. Zhao Xuan was not short of money.
But what he didn't know was that Zhao Xuan was not short of money, but he also didn't like to be cheated. This was an instinct.
Memories forget, but instincts don’t.
"Okay, okay, then I'll lower the price." When the man saw that Zhao Xuan's eyes had turned cold and he was about to turn around and leave at any time, he no longer dared to deceive people with the inflated price.
Not many people were buying cotton quilts at this time. He said he only had one quilt, but in fact, he had six quilts here.
In this era, having enough food and clothing has become a problem, let alone wearing new clothes.
It takes many years to sew and mend a quilt. Normally, villagers make their own quilt covers at home, and it is more cost-effective to stretch the cotton outside than to buy a complete set of quilts.
As a result, his quilts have been kept in the warehouse without anyone paying attention to them.
Zhao Xuan's tone was calm, but his words were not polite at all, "I don't like fake things, and I don't like to bargain slowly. Either don't sell it, or just give me a sincere price."
The young man who brought the person here kept leaning against the corner and didn't interrupt from beginning to end. However, he found that the person he had brought was really powerful. In just a few words, Lao Yu's expression changed.
Lao Yu, "..."
He knew that Zhao Xuan was not easy to fool, but he didn't expect that he had already guessed what he was going to say before he opened his mouth, so he thought about it and stopped exaggerating.
"To tell you the truth, the lowest price I can sell you for this quilt is..." Lao Yu made a gesture.
Zhao Xuan's eyes moved slightly. He didn't bargain anymore this time because he didn't know what the market price was for a quilt. As for the price, it was 20 yuan lower than at the beginning.
20 yuan is a lot in this day and age.
It was enough for him to make pork bone soup and braised pork for Su Hang for ten days.
Zhao Xuan did not negotiate the price this time, but changed the subject, "I want to take a look at the quilt first. If you are not satisfied, it is useless to negotiate a good price."
Lao Yu smiled, knowing that the deal was probably done. Although the six quilts had been piled here for more than half a year, he had always taken precautions to prevent the quilts from being bitten by rats.
As for the material of the quilt cover, it goes without saying. He specially bought it from Y City. It is the best cloth and comes in six different colors. He originally wanted to test the waters and see if anyone likes it.
As a result, it has been left there since I came back. Even if someone came to see it, they would quickly put on the brakes when they heard the price.
"Don't worry, what I have here is definitely the first one, and it won't be bad."
Zhao Xuan smiled and said nothing. He did not listen to other people's guarantees and only believed in his own judgment and eyes.

Stone Bridge Brigade.
Su Hang worked for nearly two hours, working hard to cut the rice. He drank up all the glass of water he had been carrying for two hours.
He had no choice but to go ashore and go under the big tree. The Educated Youth Point specially brought out a large iron bucket where everyone could come and refill the tea after drinking the water in their cups.
This big iron bucket is a major feature of this era. When it is time to rush for harvest, everyone is in a hurry and is thirsty but has no time to go back and pour water. Put this under the big tree on the bank and use something to hold it down to avoid ants. Insects crawl in.
Everyone can also save time and come here for two or three minutes to drink water.
When Su Hang came, educated youths in twos and threes came over, gathered around and talked at the same time.
The content quickly reached his ears.
"I was in the field over there before and saw Zhao Xuan riding a bicycle out."
"Look at this person's fate, and look at us. It's also the harvest season, and he's still fair. Each of us is as tanned as the villagers."
"What can we do? He is not short of money. Even if he doesn't work, his money is enough to eat in a state-owned restaurant every day. How different is it from us!"
"He wants to eat at a state-owned hotel for lunch?"
"Otherwise, if you go out at this time, you can't just cook for us, right? Zhao Xuan doesn't lack the money."
Su Hang sat quietly against the edge of the field for two or three minutes, listening to them discussing Zhao Xuan with envious tones, while drinking water, his curled eyelashes lowered, and the corners of his lips raised in a sarcastic arc.
It was as if he was mocking him for still having expectations for others after being left out for so many years!

Noon is the hottest time, with the sun shining on the fields. All the villagers and educated youths who were working began to leave one after another to go back to eat.
At this stage of harvesting, the village will open a canteen, because this can improve the speed and efficiency of everyone's work.
But most of the educated youth are not used to the food in the village canteen, so most of the time they eat in the canteen at noon, and when they go back in the evening, they all help cook together.
Zhao Xuan's cooking skills last night amazed them, so when everyone went to the canteen to eat at noon, they all felt lackluster, sparse and weak to walk.
Su Hang was used to doing everything last, because in the Tang family, if he went to the table to eat with Tang Jiaping, his mother and others, he would definitely be squeezed by Tang Jiaping.
When he goes too far, he will knock the bowl out of his hand and deliberately starve him.
I learned my lesson later and simply waited for them to finish eating before eating last.
Even leftovers are better than going hungry.
"Su Hang." Zhao Xuanqing's more pleasant voice suddenly appeared.
Su Hang suddenly came back to his senses because of Zhao Xuan's words.
He turned around and saw Zhao Xuan running over with a lunch box, "Why are you walking so fast? Didn't I tell you to give you a meal?"
"When?"
"I want it now."
"You're lucky. You just got a quilt today, but the price..."
Zhao Xuan smiled. He knew that the things on the black market were definitely more expensive than those outside, but they also had the advantage that they didn't need to queue up, issue certificates or issue tickets.
