The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Chapter 36)

Song Ning finally reached a deal with the tall, thin guy, Lu Qiao. The price for practical skills like handicrafts would be slightly higher, charging two more pancakes than for entertainment-oriented skills.

However, adhering to the principle of negotiating as much as possible and not being a bastard, Song Ning finally reached a deal by charging only one more cake.

The Luqiao machine has much less content than the Juanmao machine, but it mainly contains very practical teaching materials.

For example, bamboo weaving, rattan whips, and even mortise and tenon structures. In addition to these, there are some tutorials that Song Ning doesn't understand, but feels that Dr. Liao might be able to understand.

All in all, Song Ning felt that this deal was still very worthwhile.

After leaving this area, we passed by jewelry stalls.

To Song Ning's surprise, there were many more stalls here than before, but there were more sellers than buyers. He only glanced at them a few times before continuing on his way.

In the daily necessities section, Song Ning saw many things she wanted to buy. For example, there was a stall selling old-fashioned kerosene lamps, where fifteen cornbreads were sold for one lamp full of oil. There was always a guy shouting at the top of his lungs at that stall, so it was hard not to know about it.

There were at least twenty or thirty lamps for sale on that stall, which was completely surrounded by people.

Song Ning was initially tempted to buy one, but seeing the situation, she simply took a detour.

After walking a little further, Song Ning saw an old man and a child who had set up a very small stall. The two looked rather thin in their clothes and were shivering in the wind and snow, unable to even raise their voices to call out their wares.

"Brother Leopard, I want to go take a look over there."

Song Ning turned his head and informed Da Mao. Da Mao glanced at him, then took a step and walked over there first.

"Welcome, Grandpa. What is this?"

The one who was startled was a child who looked shorter than Song Ning. He was about fourteen or fifteen years old and not yet an adult. As soon as he saw the black leopard, he let out a few mournful howls in his hoarse voice.

An old man next to him squinted and leaned closer to take a look, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that a leopard? Didn't they say there are no zoos anymore? How come one has escaped?"

Song Ning quickly explained, "Brother Leopard is very smart, he won't hurt anyone, we've already registered it."

Only then were the father and son relieved.

After chatting for a while, Song Ning realized that he had stumbled upon the right place by accident. The grandfather and grandson were selling something good: a hand-cranked rechargeable flashlight that Song Ning had seen before.

Song Ning picked it up with great interest and took a look, only to find that it wasn't exactly the same type he had seen before, but rather a combination of hand-cranked and solar-powered charging.

He tried it out, and after shaking it for a while, it turned on and started providing light. The brightness was quite pleasing, which made him rather fond of it.

After confirming that solar charging was also working, Song Ning inquired about the price.

The grandfather and grandson hesitated for a moment, but in the end the grandson casually quoted a price: "I heard that the guy with the kerosene lamp over there is asking for thirty cakes. Ours is a bit better than that, right? Thirty-five cakes isn't too much, is it?"

To be honest, Song Ning even felt that the price was a bit low.

He was a little unsure, "Just thirty-five pancakes? Are you sure?"

"Yes, we were lucky to find this flashlight. It's useful, but food is definitely more important. We'll keep one or two for ourselves; we can't eat more than that."

The grandfather and grandson were quite open-minded, Song Ning thought for a moment.

"Thirty-five flatbreads is a reasonable price, but I don't have that many flatbreads right now. I'll trade you something else. Are you willing to trade something else?"

When he told them there were no more pancakes, the grandfather and grandson were a little disappointed, but the next second Song Ning leaned closer and said a few words, and their eyes lit up.

"Really? Okay, okay, we'd love to exchange this."

The three of them got together, and in the end, the grandfather and grandson made a deal with Song Ning at a slightly higher price than the base had offered.

Song Ning didn't bring the cart over, but he showed them his stall number and told them to come find him later. The grandfather and grandson agreed.

Having acquired another useful item, Song Ning was in high spirits.

When he reached a less crowded area, he couldn't help but bend down and hug the big cat beside him, burying his face, which couldn't hide his smile, deep into the cat's fur.

"I'm so glad we chose to come today! There are so many great things here, Brother Leopard! I'm so happy!"

He was genuinely happy; his voice even rose at the end.

He felt the previous tutorials were worthwhile, and Song Ning also felt the new flashlight was well worth it.

None of these things are useless; in fact, you could say they are all extremely useful.

Actually, Song Ning also liked the kerosene lamp, but after comparing prices, he still felt that the flashlight was more advantageous.

After all, the weather is cold now, and there is firelight to provide illumination at night, so kerosene lamps are not really necessary.

The black panther, held in his arms, listened to the happy sounds made by the human he had raised, its vertical pupils revealing a thoughtful expression.

So happy? It seems that raising his humans requires a lot of things; is simple food really not enough?

Song Ning held the big cat for a while before standing up. He wasn't worried about other people looking at him strangely, since his face was covered up. So what if they saw him?

Anyway, no one will recognize him.

Continuing to walk along the square, Song Ning saw many other interesting things.

For example, the food section had homemade cured meat, sausages, smoked meat, smoked fish, and even ham. The rest was fine, but Song Ning couldn't help but look at the sausages for a while. They looked almost the same as before the apocalypse.

I asked around and found out that the stall owner had been doing this business before the apocalypse. Although he now lacks some spices, his skills are still there, and it's different from what ordinary people make themselves.

The price was basically two to one of the price of corn tortillas, and Song Ning was tempted. In the end, she exchanged two for a treat for herself occasionally.

Besides these, there's another seafood stall where dried kelp is the best-selling item. You can get several large pieces of dried kelp for the price of one tortilla, which is enough to last a long time after soaking.

Song Ning also changed the amount of the pancake.

"These tortillas are as cheap as money."

Just as Song Ning couldn't help but sigh, she finally reached the luggage storage area.

Before he could even walk over, several groups of people saw the black panther beside him and immediately surrounded him, speaking almost simultaneously.

"Brother Song, right? We'd like to take all of your coal. Name your price."

"Brother, you're finally back. This batch of coal is of good quality. Just tell me what you want to exchange it for, and I'll exchange it all."

"Boss Song, do you have any extra coal? Tianxiao has already taken it all."

Song Ning was taken aback, and the people from those different factions immediately realized what was happening.

They're all rivals.
