Chapter 212 Blushing, but listening carefully
Gu Xiaoxi thought for a while before saying, "I'll take it. Let me check the quality."
As she spoke, she brought in one of the baskets and poured it directly into the empty cardboard box in front of her.
Then she rummaged through the pile of copper coins, a large amount of which had already been put into the second-hand goods warehouse.
When she found that each of these copper coins was counted as points and the points had easily increased by several thousand, her hand paused, and finally she put all the copper coins into the second-hand goods warehouse.
Counting the coins in this basket, she earned a total of 55,517 points, which was really a big win.
She looked at the other basket of copper coins with a headache. There were not many things left on the shelf. How many points should she give them?
After thinking it over, she decided to be a profiteer.
"You have three thousand points in total. What do you want to redeem?"
The woman was stunned after hearing this, and looked at the two elderly people behind her with joy, "Dad, Mom, I told you it's worth the money! Three thousand points, I can buy a lot of things."
The two old men were also very satisfied and asked hurriedly, "Do you have any more pork?"
Gu Xiaoxi turned around and took a look at the place where the pork was being cut up. Now there was nothing left.
Because some people didn’t have any points in the afternoon and ended up spending money to buy it.
Seeing the family eager for meat, she said softly, "We're out of pork, but we have bacon and sausage. Do you want some? We also have chicken and eggs."
She placed the bacon and sausage in the new product showroom for her own consumption.
But now, she is willing to take it out first.
The woman nodded quickly, "Yes. Rice, flour, oil and grain."
Gu Xiaoxi poured another basket of copper coins into the cardboard box, then stood up, dragged a large cardboard box from the corner, and took out a piece of bacon, two pieces of bacon, two dried chickens, and twenty eggs.
After dumping everything into a nearby basket, she walked over to the shelf and brought them all the remaining flour and cornmeal.
After that, she took out two large bags of rice and a ten-pound bucket of oil from an empty cardboard box.
When the woman saw how many things Gu Xiaoxi gave her, her eyes widened.
This bag of rice must weigh 50 kilograms. Two bags would weigh 100 kilograms.
Did this girl make a mistake in her calculations?
Although three thousand points are a lot, she has calculated that one pound of rice is 10 points, and these two bags of rice alone cost one thousand points.
Is there anything else?
Just as she was struggling over whether to remind the girl, Gu Xiaoxi had already brought her a box of instant noodles and three new quilts.
This time, it was the two old men behind the woman who lost their composure.
"Girl, you..."
Gu Xiaoxi winked at the two of them, exchanged glances, and changed the subject, "Copper coins themselves are also money. Are your children in school? Do you want to exchange some stationery?"
The old man nodded blankly, "Only Xiaobao is in school, and the family is poor."
Gu Xiaoxi thought about it and gave the woman three copies of various stationery, including pens.
Finally, she also bought a set of flashcards on the exchange mall. There were 2,500 flashcards in total, including 2,500 commonly used characters. It was a big box.
Gu Xiaoxi handed the things to the woman's oldest child and said, "These are literacy cards. All of you can learn them. Our society is progressing, and we still need to learn as much as possible. You don't have to stop going to school, but you still need to learn to read. If you don't know how to read, you can take the cards and ask others for help."
"Thank you!" The woman's eyes were a little red.
Just when the woman thought that everything had been changed and was about to leave, Gu Xiaoxi called the woman to a corner and handed her another cardboard box.
There were ten packs of daily sanitary napkins, ten packs of night sanitary napkins, five pairs of underwear, twenty rolls of toilet paper, and ten new towels.
She whispered to the woman how to use sanitary napkins, and also gave her some basic knowledge about women's hygiene from a doctor's perspective.
The woman blushed, but listened very carefully.
When she left, she expressed her gratitude to Gu Xiaoxi profusely!
The people queuing behind her looked at Gu Xiaoxi curiously. They all wanted to know what she had said to the woman, and why she had to say it in secret.
When it was the turn of a master to exchange something, he couldn't help but ask, "Comrade, why did you only tell that person what to order, but not us?"
Gu Xiaoxi said with a smile: "I just brought her some things that women need every month and gave her a few instructions. Why did I give you instructions?"
The master's face suddenly turned red, and he hurried away with the supplies he had exchanged.
After the last person who came to exchange supplies left, Gu Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched his arms and legs.
Qi Shuangshuang also followed her example and moved her hands and feet.
"Xiaoxi, today's event ended earlier than yesterday!"
Gu Xiaoxi looked at his watch. It was only six forty, which was indeed a little early.
Looking at the sky in the distance again, she pursed her lips slightly and said, "It seems to be a lot colder now than in the morning. It might rain tomorrow.
Qi Shuangshuang was stunned and looked up at the sky. "Is it going to rain?"
In Qingbei, if it rains at this time, it will quickly turn into sleet.
"Our trade-in promotion may have to end early." Gu Xiaoxi muttered.
They had originally planned to continue the free clinic and old-for-new event for three more days, but she saw from the astronomical phenomena just now that it would rain heavily after 3:30 p.m. tomorrow and would continue until late at night.
It will rain again at noon the day after tomorrow, and then turn to rain and snow in the afternoon.
Just as she was hesitating whether the trade-in activity would end at three o'clock tomorrow or the day after tomorrow morning, Lu Jiansen's voice came from behind her.
"It's time to eat!"
Gu Xiaoxi immediately washed his hands and went to eat.
In fact, Lu Jiansen not only made braised pork, but also boiled medicine and stewed egg custard for his little girl.
Gu Xiaoxi had no choice but to drink the medicine first and then eat the big chunks of meat.
She wanted to eat everything she saw, but in fact when she actually ate, she only tasted a few pieces of each dish, and after finishing a bowl of rice and the egg custard that Lu Jiansen had cooked for her, she was full.
After Lu Jiansen finished eating, she told him that the old-for-new exchange would end at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Lu Jiansen nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
With Lu Jiansen to coordinate, Gu Xiaoxi and Qi Shuangshuang sorted out the shelves and moved the collected old items to the tent in the back.
After Li Kun, Zhuangzi and Lu Xiangqian finished moving the things, they left.
Gu Xiaoxi said something to Qi Shuangshuang and stayed in the tent at the back to do some cooking, letting her continue steaming the buns.
So, the two of them separated their work and had their own time.
The first thing Gu Xiaoxi did was to throw the other basket of copper coins into the second-hand grocery store.
She was so excited when she saw that she had gained more than 60,000 points.
Before she could put other old items into the second-hand storage, a line of large golden characters suddenly passed before her eyes.
"Congratulations to the host for triggering a lottery in the wishing pool!"
