Mo Beihan had already estimated the value of these things. He also knew Chen Jin's strength and knew how much he could exchange these things for.
So he said, "Five kilograms of black flour, five kilograms of white flour, five kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of cornflour, three hundred yuan, and a few old items."
Chen Jin thought about it. He had many connections. If these things were in his hands, he could find all kinds of people who wanted to exchange them. So with this request, he could still make a profit, and a lot.
Chen Jin immediately smiled and said, "Brother, you're so straightforward. Okay, I'll get it for you!"
Soon, he packed the food, one by one, in cloth bags. He took out three hundred yuan and gave it to Mo Beihan. Then, he went to get the old items.
Gu Qingyao watched from the side, thinking about the situation of this era.
This was the seventies. The hunger situation was slightly better than the famine of the past. Their city was relatively poor, and supplies were even more scarce.
So the high price of food in the black market was relatively high. This was because money couldn't buy it.
During the three years of hardship, coarse grain in the black market was about five yuan per kilogram. Fine grain was more expensive, and meat was even more expensive. Pork was at its most expensive 20 yuan per kilogram. It was a sky-high price!
But that was the price during the three years of hardship, and it was limited to the black market.
Now that it was the seventies, the environment was slightly better, but the prices in the black market were still frighteningly high. Food was still the most precious thing.
Now, pork should be 12 or 13 yuan per kilogram. According to the price of the black market, Mo Beihan's things should be around 500 to 600 yuan.
The prices in other parts of the country would definitely fluctuate, but here, it was the same.
So Chen Jin could still make a profit from the things Mo Beihan asked for.
After a while, Chen Jin came back with two wooden boxes. When the boxes were opened, they were overflowing with light.
Chen Jin probably saw that Gu Qingyao was here, so he took out jewelry.
There was a matching diamond jewelry in the boxes, a diamond ring, a diamond necklace, and a pair of diamond bracelets. This was a set.
Gu Qingyao glanced at the diamond ring. This item would probably cost tens of thousands in jewelry stores in the future. But now, it could only be exchanged for a few kilograms of food, or even less.
There were also four golden bracelets. Two of them were inlaid with emeralds. The emeralds were shiny and beautiful.
There were also four pairs of jade bracelets. They were all made of good material, but Gu Qingyao took a fancy to the best pair. They were jade bracelets of the old glass type. They were green in color and had a clear texture. They looked very beautiful.
Gu Qingyao liked it very much.
Seeing her sparkling eyes, Mo Beihan smiled and said, "Pick a few that you like."
Gu Qingyao thought for a while and didn't refuse. She took the set of diamond jewelry, a gold bracelet inlaid with emeralds, and then this pair of jade bracelets.
In this era, the national banks didn't accept jewelry and jade. It was almost equivalent to trash. People who didn't like it wouldn't want these things at all. So Chen Jin didn't feel any heartache when Gu Qingyao took these things.
She only took a gold bracelet. Gold was the hard currency now.
Mo Beihan saw that Gu Qingyao took the best pair of jade bracelets and his eyes moved.
After Gu Qingyao finished picking, Mo Beihan prepared to get up and leave.
Chen Jin smiled as he sent the two of them out. "Brother, if you have any good things, remember to look for me again! I'll look for you too. "
Mo Beihan glanced at him. "I still have a lot. They're all meat!"
