Chapter 1334: Feeling Cherished and Startled 3
Jin Hongjun was ecstatic, shoving the money and the box all at once into Feng Qingxue’s hands, hastily stuffing the items into the basket he had brought, as if afraid that Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue would change their minds.
Throughout it all, Feng Qingxue didn’t make a sound.
Once the transaction was complete, they quickly went their separate ways.
Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue then wandered the black market again, realizing that as long as one had food and supplies, they essentially had everything. The majority were either buying food or trading old items for food, and from their tone, it seemed they were preparing for the New Year’s goods.
The most profitable deal was when Feng Qingxue traded two strips of cured meat for a national treasure-level silk painting.
Antiques like paintings and calligraphy couldn’t be openly brought out, so all trades were carried out in the black market. Those who were well situated and had a taste for such things would come to the market to treasure hunt.
"We should come here often, our gains are truly remarkable!" Feng Qingxue whispered.
Lu Jiang knew his wife’s fondness for cultural heritage well and shook his head, "We simply don’t have the time to come here often, I hope someday I can be transferred directly to the Capital, so we can visit in our spare time. But don’t worry, most of the damages that should have happened have happened. What remains is just scattered among the people, the possibility of widespread damage is far less than it was years ago, we can collect them slowly. You’ve said it yourself, the trend of collecting antiques will only begin twenty years from now, we have plenty of time."
Feng Qingxue sighed, "You’re right, we should be content."
As a result of their stroll through the black market, the couple didn’t get back to the guest house until after ten o’clock.
