Boss Tang's self-strategy didn't catch Huai Yu's attention at all. She now has 400 points in hand and doesn't have to worry about survival at all. Even when shopping, she has a bit more fun.
Things she wanted to buy but hesitated before can now be boldly looked at.
For example, toilet paper. For 80 points, she can finally get a pack. There are also other sanitary products. The more, the better.
In the blink of an eye, 122 points are gone.
A pair of scissors and a shovel are also needed. Some wild vegetables need small tools to be handy. This costs another 25 points.
A raincoat is also needed, right? There are always things to do on rainy days... This thickened one costs 65 points!
Hiss...
Huai Yu stands in the middle of the road, and her floating mood pauses.
Because in just a short while, plus what was left last time, she only has a little over 200 points in her hand.
Buying two basins, a kitchen knife, and ten plastic bags costs another 100 points.
As for the last few points...
Huai Yu hesitantly asks the oil seller, "How much is fresh lard?"
"100 points per catty of pork lard." The other party doesn't even look up.
Huai Yu:...
So expensive! She is visibly heartbroken!
The other party looks at her big and small bags and patiently says, "Just don't look at the fresh ones. The livestock institute slaughters a carefully raised pig without much mutation every day. If I didn't have some connections, I couldn't even get these five catties of pork lard."
"Look, in half an hour after arrival, only this one catty is left."
"Sister, how about looking at the aged ones? I have rapeseed oil from six years ago. It's very fresh and very safe! 15 points per catty!"
Six years ago... Huai Yu looks at the pharmacy next door: "Is... is the antidiarrheal medicine next door also from six years ago?"
The boss looks a bit embarrassed: "That's not the case. There has always been a demand for drugs in recent years. At most, it's from last year."
He waves his hand: "If you don't buy it, forget it! It's been several years since the natural disaster. What haven't we eaten? The rapeseed oil from six years ago hasn't been opened. It's still quite popular here. If you don't buy it, forget it."
Huai Yu thinks it really has to be forgotten. She doesn't know what she ate in the tree cocoon. Anyway, it's definitely not this rapeseed oil from six years ago. She doesn't dare to take this risk.
But for fresh pork lard...
Just think, cut the white pork lard into small pieces and turn it into fragrant lard residue and lard.
Put hot oil in the pan, add some garlic, ginger, and peppers and stir-fry. Then put the blanched wild vegetables in and stir...
Her saliva comes down instantly!
But no matter how greedy she is, her reason is still there. So she grits her teeth, turns around, and goes to the luxury store at the street corner to buy two towels and a field kettle.
With the remaining money, there's no choice. She buys a pair of easy-to-wear flip-flops that can be worn until winter. After all, it's too troublesome to always wear sports shoes after washing up and going back to bed.
Huai Yu returns fully loaded. Everything is stuffed into the all-purpose backpack. And Boss Tang stands at the store entrance. He has just received the bicycle and the key from the young man. Seeing Huai Yu, he can't help but smile: "Just in time. Come, do you want to try your new bike?"
"Sure!"
Huai Yu happily takes the bike. Seeing the yellow license plate on the back of the bike -
[Z28H196]
She is quite curious. But considering that she "has two more cars" at home, she doesn't ask.
But at this moment, looking at Boss Tang handing over the key, she can't help but be curious: "Is this used to add a lock?"
"Yes." Boss Tang explains: "In the past, people would buy a lock themselves. Now this is inconvenient, so a gadget is added directly to the bike. When you lock the bike, the chain gets stuck... Hey, but if someone really steals it, they can also carry it and run away."
"If it's stolen, you can bring your ID card to the vehicle management office and report the license plate number... There is a scanning layer inside the stamped steel mark. It's not easy to find, but it's not impossible to find."
"Nowadays, it doesn't matter if you do things illegally. But for crimes like theft and robbery..."
His chubby and amiable face suddenly shows a touch of sternness: "In troubled times, severe laws are applied."
Huai Yu nods, indicating that she understands - looking at how everyone has so peacefully transitioned to normal life, one can know that: Huacheng, oh no, the whole country still has very effective means.
"I know. But I'll just ride it in my own yard. No one will dare to steal it."
She says this very confidently.
The 600-acre Rose Mansion. Even the alien plant defense army will only be stationed and observed. They don't even dare to approach when patrolling...
Although she doesn't feel any danger, everyone is vigilant. Naturally, there is great terror.
Of course, it's estimated that the person who allocated the house didn't expect that someone would build the house so close to the rose corridor.
But Boss Tang's smile is even deeper. At this moment, he echoes: "That's true. No one will dare to steal it."
...
However, although she talks freely in front of Boss Tang, as soon as the bike is pushed out of the trading market, Huai Yu starts to worry.
Because the 28-inch bicycle is really big, and besides the bus, she has no other way to go back.
Now when taking the bus, everyone has big and small bags. A bicycle on the bus should not be a big problem, right?
She nervously waits at the bus stop while pushing the bicycle, and seeing the aunt in front carrying a large luggage bag that only appears at train stations squeezing onto the bus, she feels a bit more at ease.
However, a man hesitantly approaches and mumbles for a long time: "You... how much is this bicycle?"
Huai Yu is about to say 650, but suddenly remembers that this is the price given by Boss Tang. So she says: "899."
Hiss!
Everyone is a bit amazed and envious. The middle-aged man's expression is even more envious:
"Is this price guaranteed?"
Huai Yu hesitates for a moment: "Well, guaranteed."
The other party nods repeatedly: "Good! This is a good buy! The other day someone in our community was selling a second-hand one. For 800, it wasn't guaranteed either..."
Only now does Huai Yu remember that in addition to the trading market, every community also has its own trading place.
Thinking of the residents of Jinyuan Community that she meets every time she gets on the bus, she hesitates and decides not to ask for the time being.
Coming to the trading market, there is a bus right outside. Getting off the bus is near District 66 where the alien plant defense army is stationed. It's safer than going to someone else's community.
Wait for a while. When everyone's life is more stable, go and take a look nearby.
When the bus she's waiting for arrives, Huai Yu patiently waits for others to get on first. Then she forcefully lifts the bicycle and stands at the door, pitifully:
"Uncle, can the bicycle go up?"
Oh, this.
This bus driver really has no experience! But everyone on the bus has already spoken:
"Oh! A bicycle! It's still brand new!"
"A 28-inch bicycle! I've only seen it in period dramas before..."
"I don't know how many points... Whoa, what kind of family does this girl come from? Quite wealthy!"
"Master, this little girl is alone and it's not easy. Let her on!"
"It's going to rain. Everyone has so many things. Let's squeeze. This is not like before... Helping others is helping oneself..."
The aunts stare at Huai Yu with eager eyes, wishing they could immediately pull her to their side and first ask about her age, marital status, and family.
