Check In System In The 70s

46

Now Kiki has a strange relationship with Fang xionan, a mutually beneficial relationship usually referred to as symbiosis or mutualism.

Kiki had learned that whenever she came into contact with Fang xionan for 3 or 5 seconds, she would get a reward, which often came from the modern world.

On the other hand, Fang xionan sensed that when he got close to Kiki, for at least half a minute, he was gaining additional energy, albeit in small amounts, similar to when he absorbed the energy from the crystals produced by the zombies.

However, the two never took the initiative to talk about this openly. Kiki feels that the system is the most important thing in her life, especially as she tries to survive in a world full of scarcity of foodstuffs.

So, inwardly, Kiki spoke to herself, "Don't be too seduced by the reward. Without the help of a lucky man, I can also make money and meet my food needs well.'"

Thinking like that, Kiki still intended to go to the county town but he would wait until tomorrow morning.

But that night, Kiki ate an instant noodle of beef flavor that was obtained from a lucky man's gift. Only ******* "ah" is lengthy which may imply Kiki's satisfaction with the prize.

Unknowingly, a day passed, and now Kiki was getting ready to leave for the city on her beloved bicycle. This time, he had already pocketed the permit from the village chief, although it was actually not necessary, as he would only go to the city for a while.

Kiki's departure this time to the black market aims to buy the soda she needs to make soap. However, he also intended to sell the fruits he had accumulated for over a week.

The land he owned was not very large, but each time he planted, he could plant 5 to 7 tree trunks at once, depending on the size of the tree. Today, planting means he has to store energy to harvest everything he has planted the next day.

Each time he planted, he would only plant one type of tree and would store everything inside the system drawer. So imagine how many types of fruit he keeps if only in a period of 10 days.

His warehouse was now full and he was confused about how to spend all these products. But if the product does not make money, it will be worth it.

"I don't know if this is bad or not, but it seems like it's only been a week since I made this last transaction on the black market" Kiki thought inwardly.

Just like before, Kiki went to the county town by bicycle without waiting for the ox cart like everyone else did.

He paddled his bike casually towards the county town without much thought. However, when he arrived at the entrance of the county town, he was shocked to see the whereabouts of Fang xionan standing there as if knowing that he was going to go to the city this morning.

"Ah, Fang xionan, what are you doing here?!" screeched Kiki furiously.

Fang xionan, without a smile, said, "I was deliberately waiting for you here. I saw you come out of the house this morning."

Inwardly, Kiki thought, "I can do everything without him here. But if he's here, how can I go to the black market? Though I want to sell fruit and earn so much money."

Fang Xionan looked at Kiki's gloomy face, so he knew that her whereabouts were now unpleasant for Kiki.

Therefore, he hurriedly said, "I won't bother you, really, because I also have something to do here. But since we're already here, how about we meet around 09:00? That's if your business is done."

Kiki, who was still pouting, pushed her bike forcefully, but she still replied, "Don't know if my business is done by 09:00. But it's best not to flash too much and I don't want to be gossipy anymore."

Actually, Kiki wanted to say that she didn't want to be followed, but Fang xionan said, "I won't be flashy and in the city, people won't talk about us like in the village."

Kiki snorted in annoyance and said, "Clearned."

In such a way, they parted again because their goals were very different.

What they don't realize is that they have the same goal. But both of them had to use disguises to go to the area they were thinking about.

Today, the black market location was moved again and now, the black market is behind the hospital in District City. Fortunately, the system was able to track the location of the black market by looking at the check-in symbol from there.

Just like before, Kiki also changed her appearance and attributes into a little girl familiar to four faithful old men sitting at the black market entrance, along with their four spunky dogs.

Without waiting, the four men had already greeted Kiki first, because to them, Kiki was one of the people who brought no small profit to them personally.

"Hi, girl, I think in these 2 months you've come more often. What are you carrying behind your back this time? Let's leave everything to grandfather" said one of the oldest among them. Maybe in his youth they were big bosses. Because it was so familiar, Kiki immediately believed in this old man.

Previously, this old geezer had also said that he could earn a small profit every time he made a private transaction with Kiki, he said, and those items will be transferred again to the big boss or he can sell them himself with his colleagues.

But if he is determined to take the final action maybe he will be in trouble with the black market in the future.

 so he preferred the first option where, he personally bought the goods from Kiki and re-sold them to the black market side to get a penny or two as the difference.

On Kiki's side, he didn't mind it, after all, he didn't need the initial cost of the materials he was going to sell.

"Grandfather, this time there is no meat, but everything is fruits. Even so, the weight of the average fruit is more than 100 kg. There are dates, strawberries, lychees, apples, and black grapes. There are also cantaloupe, passion fruit, and red peaches. Don't know if grandfather likes it or not, but if grandfather wants half of them it's okay too. I know stuff like this rotten faster if they can't be sold on time."

The four grandfathers were surprised to hear the names of the fruits mentioned by Kiki. Apples, strawberries, and lychees are indeed rare fruits, especially black grapes that can be used as a drink. These items are not common and the price is fantastic, although the enthusiasts are also not few.

As for cantaloupe, peach, and dates, it seems like this is not a suitable time for their fruit to bear fruit, so these are fruits that are out of season.

In the end, the four grandfathers laughed out loud.

"No matter little girl, leave everything to grandfather, because grandfather has a path to swallow all the fruits you mentioned earlier. But the price didn't go up, did it? Still the same as before?" ask one of my grandfathers.

Kiki smiled behind the cover of her face and said, "Of course, grandfather, I won't lie to you about the price issue. This is a long-term cooperative relationship, hehehe."

That is, to earn income today, he had to overtime several nights at once. So the price he received today was the price of his hard work for several nights.

The old grandfather might not know what Kiki was thinking, but he smiled and nodded agreeing to go to the location mentioned by the girl.

Actually, this old geezer also had some workers behind him who immediately weighed all the fruits. As for where he was going to send those items, it was no longer Kiki's business. His current order was how he could collect all the money that the old man had already calculated.

After going through an accurate calculation, Kiki finally got a total of Rp26,320, which is equivalent to 26 million and 320 thousand rupiah in the modern era.

"Ohh better sell it with Grandpa, so there is no rounding hahaha" Kiki said half-jokingly to the grandfather.

" Little girl, like you're provoking us?that's not good .Now with just one word, it can make the cooperation relationship void" said the grandfather with a slightly serious face.

Kiki quickly regained consciousness and hurriedly apologized. It was fortunate that the grandfather did not put it in his heart because he thought Kiki was really a little girl who did not know how the black market works.

after exiting the black market, Kiki finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought she survived today just because of Grandpa's kindness.

"Uh from now on lock her mouth a lot be careful in speaking"Sister said kiki in heart as she slipped into a passageway and changed her clothes again in a different dress.

if previously he had covered his body as a whole .Now he wears a factory work uniform he got a few weeks ago.

in that way he entered the black market again and acted as if he did not know the old man.

"excuse me for entering, something is missing" Kiki said, putting a few cents on the table.

One of the grandfathers took the money and went into his pocket. They really can't tell kiki apart from that kind of outfit, but what about her 4 dogs.

One of the four dogs recognized Kiki's scent well. They did not move from where they did not even make the slightest sound. If faced with visitors who have never interacted with them, perhaps they will bark a little and smell the aroma, to make it more familiar.

Fortunately, this behavior was not realized by the four grandfathers who were still playing mahjong as camouflage.

That way Kiki gets into the black market easily.

The conditions on the black market are really similar to the people's market in general, it's just that they do not use tables and so on as a place to place trades. They just laid it casually on the ground.

If it was a foodstuff, they would probably put a cloth or anything as a base. This is done so that they can escape quickly if there is a group of red tires that come without being invited.

One thing is for sure, when you shop here, sometimes you will not see the goods being traded. If you want to look, you might only be able to peek a little. Therefore, it is very necessary to have a keen eye to look at goods traded on this black market.

"girl, auntie has a flowering cloth for you, do you want it?"

"Girl, let's see if there's any good shoes"

"Girl, do you want this, if you want to be able to exchange it for five kg of rice "

Kiki wanted to refuse again because it was not the item she wanted to look for but then she turned her head around, because it was a jade ring.

"Auntie, is this really jade?"whispered Kiki.

His person offered to roll his eyes and look in what direction, as if he was not wanting to be known by others.

"this is a family heirloom and aunty will not sell it if not pressed.Hem only 5 kg of rice but if there is no money also okay"

This is life in the '70s, where all things are not so valuable when compared to groceries.

A ring made of jade, an item that was once only worn by a noble. Now only rewarded with 5 kg of rice was not good rice it was just broken rice .

But after the reform and the openness all things will turn around again and this is the thing that will be a collection of people moneying.

Kiki wanted to keep it for those times.

"good aunt I'll buy this" Kiki said seriously as she opened her backpack. From the backpack he took out a hundred rupiah, 5 kg of rice, 5 kg of sweet potatoes and 5 kg more of corn.

Seeing what he took out the aunt was astonished and hurriedly said, "the aunt said this is only 5 kg of rice no more"

" It's okay, aunt, I think this is a good item and still equal to this" said Kiki who immediately left the aunt.

Without knowing Kiki, the aunt held back her tears that were about to fall. He's been on the black market for a few days but no one wants his ring.

Initially he intended to sell for 10 kg of rice. But no practice and over time the price has fallen again to 5 kg of rice and it was not offered.

If not for being at home the children were already so hungry, perhaps he would not have sold it to the black market at such a price.

But thankfully the girl made so much sense.
