Chapter 18 - get rich quickly

"Oh!" The boss looked down and was a little pleasantly surprised. Because this half bucket of dried fruits is really quite a lot! He quickly found a piece of cardboard and spread it on the ground. "Come on, pour it out and let's sort it. Different fruits have different prices." Huai Yu responded and quickly turned the red bucket upside down. Accompanied by a pleasant clattering sound, Boss Tang's chubby body had already squatted down with difficulty and started picking. "These peanuts look quite plump... but there are too few. I estimate there's hardly a catty—exactly a catty! I'll give you 12 points." "The apricot kernels are good!" He picked up the dried apricot kernels and shook them. Hearing the clicking sound inside, it was obviously very plump. So he picked them out with satisfaction and weighed them. "Oh! Two catties and three taels. 38 points. Alright?" Then there were a few chestnuts. Unfortunately, they were all worm-eaten on top. Boss Tang could only pick them aside regretfully. "I won't take this." Finally, it was basically all pine nuts. They were the same size as the ones he had just eaten, plump and full. At this moment, when he weighed them—21 catties and four taels! Boss Tang grimaced. Finally, looking at Huai Yu with a calm face, fair skin and soft hands, he finally gritted his teeth and gave a high price. "25 points a catty! How about it?" Before Huai Yu could speak, he quickly explained. "Miss, this price. You can ask around the whole market. No one can offer a higher price than me! Mainly, these pine nuts are just snacks." "Those without money can't afford them. Those with money eat them as luxury items now... But although the luxury items sold in my store seem expensive, it's like not having a single customer for half a year, but once a customer comes, it can support me for half a year... I take them at 25 points. I also take some risks." Huai Yu kept a straight face, but in fact, she was extremely happy. She nodded. "Okay." After a pause, she added. "I'll come to you next time." "Great!" Boss Tang was waiting for just this sentence. "I am surnamed Tang. Tang Hongji. Miss, what's your surname?" Huai Yu smiled. "I'm Huai Yu. The Yu in elm seeds." "Great! Little Yu, Miss!" Boss Tang was very perceptive. "Come on, where's your transaction bracelet? I'll transfer the money to you right now." Transaction bracelet? Huai Yu silently took out the official temporary transfer card. In Boss Tang's puzzled gaze, she shyly said. "I haven't gone out before. My brother said that they... cough, that is, I only have this temporary transfer card." Oh! Boss Tang instantly understood. No wonder the little girl looked delicate and weak. It turned out that she was really protected too well by her family. In this world, someone could be protected to the extent that they didn't even have a bracelet. Then the two brothers she just mentioned... are there two brothers? How powerful they must be! His eyes became even more enthusiastic. At this moment, he simply pulled out a box from under the counter. "Come on, this transaction bracelet is more convenient than the temporary transfer card. With the temporary transfer card, you have to go to the official bank window and transfer the points to your name. Sometimes it's very inconvenient for private transactions." "This bracelet is not expensive. If your contribution points exceed 300, it's given for free. Little Yu, Miss, you don't have contribution points either, right?" "Come on, you choose! I'll give you one." "Really?" Huai Yu smiled like an innocent little girl. "Boss, you are so smart. I really don't have points." At this moment, she happily picked from the box with those bracelets of different colors. Suddenly, she asked again. "This bracelet can send messages?" "No, it can't." Boss Tang said. "This is a temporary change made by the official after the world changed. It's good enough that it can transfer money. To send messages, you still have to buy a mobile phone." "I also have mobile phones here, but they are expensive... Didn't your family buy you one?" Huai Yu shook her head sadly. "My brother said that the news outside is all messy..." She didn't say anything else. She was afraid of making more mistakes. But it was precisely this kind of evasiveness that made Boss Tang firmly believe it. A little princess in an ivory tower! There are always such people before and after the disaster. And soon Huai Yu picked out a transaction bracelet. Under Boss Tang's guidance, she bound it to her ID card and used fingerprint recognition... Then she casually asked again. "Then, boss, do you know where wild vegetables are collected? The mutation value should also be around 11. My brother said he found them in the mountains..." Wild vegetables... To be honest, they don't really match Boss Tang's store. But with a mutation value of 11, he has many wealthy customers. What if they just want to taste the spring flavor? Boss Tang nodded. "If others asked, I wouldn't take them. But since Little Yu, Miss, you have asked, then I will definitely take them! Just the price can't be the same as the retail price on the market—" "How about this? If it really has a mutation value of 11, I'll take it at 8 points a catty. How about it?" "Wild vegetables can't be stored for a long time. There's a risk for me to take everything at once." Huai Yu remembered the pile of wild vegetables with a mutation value of 12 and a special price of 12 that she had just seen. Of course, when she sells them, it should be more expensive. But now she is short on time! So she decisively nodded. "Okay." But Boss Tang also casually asked. "Miss, your brother can get a lot of things. Is he in the mountains? Or on the wasteland at the edge?" Huai Yu paused. "Maybe he is in the mountains. My brother seldom talks about it..." Whew! Boss Tang took a deep breath. "Extraordinary! No wonder they have the strength to protect you so well. Going into the mountains is a life-threatening thing. It's even more dangerous than the wasteland in the marginal area!" Ah? Huai Yu frowned tightly. "Is it so dangerous?" No, it's not. When she went into the mountains, it was very ordinary. And if she didn't use all her strength, those flowers, plants and trees wouldn't pay any attention to her. Only the rose corridor is the most obedient... Of course, when necessary, she still has to kowtow. "How is it not dangerous!" But Boss Tang also sighed. "You know that the reason why our Huacheng is safe is because the wild roses under the old corner of the Sanqing Palace have mutated." "It mutated so fiercely. Wu Yue, the garrison officer of our exotic plant defense army, exhausted his ability in this process and narrowly escaped death. Only then did he domesticate and promote the rose corridor and successfully protect Huacheng." "With such a turmoil, the most dangerous Sanqing Mountain and the large wasteland below were blocked." "Think about it. The mountain is full of plants. If they mutate, the whole Huacheng won't be able to bear it!" "Now, with the rose corridor blocking it, as long as people don't go into the mountains, nothing will happen." "This has given us a chance to catch our breath and also clean up the suburbs of the city..." "But now the city is safe. If people go into the mountains..." "Alas." Boss Tang sighed and digressed. "In the early stage, our defense army cleared those exotic plants on the mountain and sacrificed a lot..." Huai Yu fell silent. After a while, the cheerful sound of the calculator's announcement broke the silence again. She put on the smart bracelet and looked at Boss Tang who had reset the calculator. "793 points, Miss. Come over quickly after collecting wild vegetables!" "If you have other good things, I want them too." Huai Yu touched the smart bracelet. Thinking of the 793 points inside, it was as if she had become rich overnight. But then thinking that just a multifunctional shovel cost 350 points, she instantly became depressed. Points are so easily spent!
