After dinner, Wenxi and Qin Xin also helped clean up the dishes. Wenxi had her own things to do during the day and didn't have time to help with cooking. Besides, she was eating and staying at their place, so she felt bad if she didn't do anything.
After everything was packed up, the group sat on the sofa in the living room because Wenxi was going to pay for the watermelon from the Qin family.
Because the Qin family grows small watermelons, the kind that weigh a few kilograms each, the yield is relatively low. However, small watermelons are more popular because there are many young people who choose not to get married these days and live alone. They can't finish a watermelon that's too big, so buying a small watermelon is just right for two meals.
The Qin family has picked 22,000 catties of watermelons for Wenxi in the past two days. At 70 cents per catty, that's 15,400 yuan. Since there were odd amounts left over from each sack, Wenxi gave them 16,000 yuan directly.
The Qin family refused to accept the extra 600 yuan. In the end, Wenxi said that if they didn't accept it, she wouldn't buy watermelons here anymore, and if everyone's watermelons went unclaimed, then they would become the sinners.
So in the end, the Qin family accepted the six hundred yuan.
After settling the payment for the watermelons, Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, and Grandpa Qin went out to pick more watermelons. Summer brings a lot of rain, and a heavy downpour can ruin the taste of ripe watermelons, so they need to be picked quickly. Besides, there are other people's watermelons waiting to be picked!
Grandma Qin wasn't feeling well, so she went to bed early.
"I'm going to take a shower now!" Wen Xi said to Qin Mi and Qin Xin, who were watching the movie intently, and went to her room to get her clothes before heading to the bathroom.
Upon entering the bathroom and locking the door, Wenxi picked up a sanitary napkin from the nearby shelf and took a picture of the manufacturer's name and contact information with her phone. She had previously contacted the steamed bun manufacturer in this way, and they would arrange for the nearest factory to deliver the goods to her based on her address. The steamed buns and mantou she ordered would arrive tomorrow.
Therefore, Wenxi also used this method to order a large quantity of sanitary napkins and toilet paper, which could benefit society. This not only helped the local factories solve the problem of overcapacity, but also allowed more girls in that era to use clean and hygienic sanitary products.
The manufacturer said they would arrange for delivery to be made from a factory area closer to her. If that wasn't enough, they would transfer goods from other warehouses. In short, they would arrange delivery from the nearest location.
With so many items ordered, Wenxi didn't have enough money, so she decided to go to another city the day after tomorrow to pawn the jewelry and other items.
After taking a shower, Qin Xin saw Wen Xi with her hair still wet and asked, "Liangliang, do you want to blow-dry your hair?"
Wen Xi shook her head. "No need. I'll go to the yard and let my hair air dry. It'll be dry in a few minutes."
As soon as Wenxi came out of the house, several cats ran over, circled around her, and meowed at her. Wenxi squatted down and petted each of them.
"Qin Mi, you have so many cats, could you give me two?" Wen Xi asked tentatively. She really liked cats, and it would be nice to have two cats after she bought her own house.
Qin Mi walked over, squatted down in front of Wen Xi, and reached out to pet the cats as well. "Which two do you like? These smaller ones are only a few months old, so you can keep them. The rest are all old cats that are several years old, so it's not easy to bond with them."
The cats were all tabby cats, just with slightly different patterns. Wenxi had no choice but to point to two tabby cats with different patterns and said, "I want those two."
Qin Mi smiled and nodded, "Okay, then when you leave, I'll give you these two cats. Local cats are easy to raise; you can just feed them rice soaked in soup. Unlike city cats, you don't need to feed them cat food or prepare litter for them. Besides, local cats are healthy and don't get sick easily, so there are no worries about raising them."
"Thank you," Wen Xi said with a smile.
With two cats to keep me company, I won't feel lonely living alone in the future.
The next morning, Wenxi got up early and went to the warehouse to store the items in the system warehouse. Then she waited until the person who delivered the steamed buns arrived.
Wenxi wasn't just asking for cornbread and steamed buns; she wanted a little something too. The factory wouldn't send anyone to deliver it anyway. Wenxi wanted everything the factory had.
She ordered a thousand packs of each of the following products: steamed and fried dumplings, shumai, scallion rolls, glutinous rice chicken, wontons, steamed cakes, lotus root meatballs, various steamed buns, and mantou, spending hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Since these items all come in packaging bags, and the packaging bags need to be changed before they can be sold, Wenxi asked Qin Mi to buy transparent bags for her online. Although she already had some, her bags were for 10 kilograms, which were not suitable for portioning breakfasts. Portioning breakfasts does not require such large bags.
Qin Mi helped her choose the kind of roll bags used in supermarkets, and bought 100,000 of each of the three sizes (small, medium, and large) for her, which cost a total of more than 3,000 yuan.
Wenxi didn't have that much money in her account, so she couldn't transfer it directly to Qin Mi. Instead, she counted out cash for Qin Mi. Qin Mi was a soon-to-be college student with no job and therefore no income. How could she take advantage of Qin Mi?
After the staff moved all the frozen breakfast items into the warehouse and took the money and drove away, Wenxi went in and put all the breakfast items into the system warehouse.
Qin Mi told her that she should eat less of these frozen breakfasts because no one knows what kind of meat is inside or whether the factory environment is clean and hygienic. So it's okay to eat them occasionally, but don't rely on them too much. Try to make your own food whenever you have time.
Wenxi never intended to eat these things all the time. She planned to save some for occasional meals and then convert the rest into cash, since she wanted to buy a courtyard house.
Although she can travel around now, Wenxi feels that she will definitely spend the rest of her life in the original world, so she wants to exchange her valuables for the currency of that era, which will make it easier for her to do things.
Otherwise, if these things are just sitting in the warehouse, they will become useless to you when you get old.
The next morning, Wenxi set off early, rode her electric bike to the town, then took a bus to the city, and then went to find the train station.
She's already changed jobs once in this city; she can't change jobs a second time, or she might get caught red-handed.
She doesn't go far; she just goes to the neighboring city, which is only a little over an hour's drive away.
The train station at that time was very advanced. Wenxi was afraid of being noticed, so she watched the whole process very carefully and followed the instructions step by step. She successfully boarded the train. The train was clean, comfortable and cool, with one person per seat, and it was not crowded at all.
