Scavenging Notes: I am the Lucky Star of the End Times
Chapter 32 Antiques
Xie Yuan called out to Xu Sansan who was about to leave:
"No, you can change after taking a shower at night. I have already boiled the water. Let's eat first."
So they each had half a tube of nutrient solution, a pack of compressed biscuits, and a sausage. Although they didn't get to eat steak, the delicious sausage still made them eat it with relish.
Before the sun set, Xu Sansan and Xie Yuan counted and collected today's harvest and put it away:
Three plastic stools, which did not need to be sent to the official exchange office for redemption, as they were just what I needed at home;
7 metal handles, which can be sent in exchange for contribution points;
The jacket and T-shirt, although a little too big, were of the right length, so Xie Yuan could just change out of his sensitive black combat uniform;
As for the other jacket, Xu Sansan decided to make it smaller for herself. Her jacket had been torn beyond recognition after being attacked by the mutant cockroaches. Of course, she couldn't bear to throw it away. She thought that after washing and mending it, it could still be used. After all, she was going out to pick up trash, so there was no need to dress it well.
As for the two pairs of hiking boots, they needed to be exchanged, one pair for each person according to their sizes;
Kitchen utensils such as baking trays, stoves and kettles are also used at home. Just put them in a corner next to toiletries such as plastic basins.
Finally, there is the food in the box. There are 68 packs of compressed biscuits in total. After eating two packs for dinner, there are 66 packs left.
There were 5 large bags of ham sausages, each with 20 sausages. After eating two sausages, there were 98 sausages left.
Two large boxes of steaks and a pile of seasonings can only continue to stay quietly at the bottom of the box.
Xu Sansan placed the small stone in the middle of the pile of compressed biscuits so that the mist could completely cover the storage box.
Isn’t this an advanced version of a refrigerator?
Before going to bed at night, she asked:
"When do you think the base ship will be able to go to City 107 again?"
Xie Yuan put his hands behind his head and asked:
"Do you want to go into the small building again?"
Xu Sansan turned over:
"Well, I want to get a few more small stones back... and there must be a lot of supplies inside..." So many cars, and 4 mutant cockroaches...
Xie Yuan nodded, his eyes brightened:
"The base spacecraft usually rotates to another place every 90 days. Let's sleep first..." I tried to think of a solution.
星历336年,炎季73日,06:39:21
Xu Sansan, with a big belly, wearing leaky shoes and a leaky coat, pulled an empty cart, got out of the elevator, and turned directly into the main street of the black market.
"Here they come again..." A pair of eyes stared at Xu Sansan's back through the wide-angle cat's eye on the door.
"Do you think you would like to practice with Lao Wu?" The fat woman behind the door turned the gold ring on her finger, turned around, and looked at the man lying on the rocking chair with a flattering face.
The man opened his eyes, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes:
"Let's wait and see. Lao Wu hasn't finished his apprenticeship yet."
The fat woman twisted her buttocks, pouted her lips, and continued to stare at the world outside the cat's eye.
Xu Sansan actually wanted to go to the official exchange office to try it out, but when he got to the door and saw the huge queue of people, he went straight into the black market building.
No matter in the last life or this life, if you can avoid queuing, then avoid it...
Arriving at the end of the black market, Xu Sansan knocked on the door. Today's schedule was three long and one short, as agreed upon last night.
Soon the door opened. It was Lao Qin who opened the door.
It turns out that as long as the knock on the door is right, Lao Qin is not that obsessed with the secret code. Of course, this is just Xu Sansan's personal opinion.
As for Lao Qin, he now treats Xu Sansan like a cash cow. First he gave him a healing dome egg, then edible fruits, and today he gave him a pair of pollution-free genuine leather men's boots, a retro style!
All the big orders he got these days were from this little girl in front of him!
How could one treat a cash cow lightly? There was no need for any secret codes. Even if Xu Sansan turned into ashes now, Lao Qin could still recognize her one by one.
After closing the door, the two came to the counter. Old Qin then noticed her tattered clothes. He frowned and spoke hesitantly:
"You were robbed on the road?"
Xu Sansan shook his head, lifted up his coat, and skillfully took out two pairs of men's hiking boots from his "belly", placed them on the counter, pushed them forward, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Lao Qin should quickly inspect the goods.
Then, there were two consecutive sounds: "Ding! No pollution, edible."
Xu Sansan: ...No, the brains of this end-time world wouldn’t think that all non-polluting things are edible...
But Lao Qin obviously didn't notice the bug in the optical computer. He carefully picked up the boots with trembling hands and placed them on his black detector. After pressing a few buttons, he heard:
"Ding! The material is unrecognizable! The material is unrecognizable!"
Xu Sansan frowned. What the hell? She was familiar with this brand. It claimed that all shoes were handmade from pure cowhide. How come the material was unidentifiable?
Lao Qin was obviously calmer. He turned around and went upstairs. After a while, he brought down a silver instrument from upstairs and started scanning the two pairs of hiking boots.
Then, just listen:
"Ding! Pollution-free artificial PU leather!"
"Ding! Pollution-free artificial PU leather!"
Xu Sansan's heart skipped a beat. What? How did it turn into artificial leather?
Is it that the manufacturer is being unkind, or that the car owner is buying a high-quality imitation?
This, this, this, I'm afraid it won't sell for a good price...
Xu Sansan was greatly disappointed, but Lao Qin was trembling with excitement:
"We agreed on this yesterday. I want both pairs!"
Xu Sansan was completely confused and didn't understand: Could it be that artificial PU leather is still a rare thing in the end times?
Seeing that Xu Sansan didn't react, Lao Qin widened his eyes, opened his arms, and tightly protected his hiking boots, like an old hen protecting her chicks:
"You can't regret it!" This is a PU leather craft that has been lost for hundreds of years! No! No matter what, I have to get it today!
After saying this, he gently stroked the shoe surface from time to time.
Xu Sansan covered his face, thinking that Lao Qin's actions were really eye-catching. This, this was pierced. Aren't people in the last days afraid of athlete's foot?
"Yes, yes, yes, when have I ever broken my promise? But let me be frank. Since it is an antique, the price must be..."
Xu Sansan rubbed his fingers and gave him a look that said you understand.
Old Qin's eyes twitched and he felt extremely regretful. Why did he blurt out the matter of the antiques yesterday?
It's just that, before, I just thought it was made of cowhide, but now...
He resigned himself to his fate and said, "Well, the price is easy to negotiate. The price is easy to negotiate. Don't you understand me, Old Qin? I always give you a fair price."
Xu Sansan laughed in his heart, thinking that all businessmen are dishonest, but he did not show it on his face and still responded with a smile: "Okay, then name a price!"
Lao Qin tapped his fingertips on the table and pondered for a moment:
"1000 a pair, no bargaining."
Xu Sansan's heart trembled. No, it's not that high?
So he widened his eyes and asked, "Are you sure?"
Lao Qin gritted his teeth. He had indeed offered the highest price. If he raised the price any higher, he would not be sure.
“I really can’t add more.”
Xu Sansan pouted slightly. Why didn't this trick work today?
"Okay, that's 2000 points in total, and I have seven metal handles here."
……
In the end, only 7 points were replaced for the 35 metal handles.
But she doesn't mind. Who would complain that the contribution is too little?
So Xu Sanda waved his hand,
I spent 500 points to buy a second-hand high-end optical computer with detection and external functions;
I bought a button-shaped tracker for 100 points;
At 230, I bought a set of electric pencils, carving knives, tweezers, internal crystals, sensors, sound receivers and other tools and parts;
I bought a ventilation device for 395 points;
50 points used the remaining frog skin to customize a pair of socks;
At 120 o'clock, I bought a pair of boots for myself and Xie Yuan...
Of course, there were no shoes for sale in Lao Qin's store. Xu Sansan didn't want to expose himself too much, so he paid Lao Qin 20 points as a running errand fee and asked him to help buy shoes from a large daily necessities store on the black market.
Old Qin naturally didn't need to do such a trivial matter himself, so he shouted towards the stairs:
"Ergou! 10 contribution points of extra money, do you want to earn it?"
Xu Sansan: ...They are undoubtedly father and son. I’ll take a piece of the son’s running money.
When Qin Ergou heard that there was extra money to be made, he became very excited. He ran downstairs without even having time to wipe the sweat off his face.
This was the second time Xu Sansan met Qin Ergou. The last time he met some people from the Dawn Guard.
Qin Ergou had a good memory. He recognized Xu Sansan the first time he came downstairs. Looking at her shriveled belly, he couldn't hide his surprise: Did she give birth so soon? !
