Chapter 59 Even the air smells sour (Minor Repair)
The shouts of hawkers are heard one after another, and there are many kinds of goods on sale.
Unused skin care products, winter clothes that have been worn once or twice, some toiletries, children’s toys, etc.
Some street stalls may not display the goods for fear of being robbed, but only put up a sign with the goods written on it.
Shi Jiaojiao walked and looked along the way.
Finally, I saw a stall run by a couple, and the sign above said they were selling gold jewelry.
Although it is said that antiques are valuable in prosperous times and gold is valuable in troubled times.
But now we can hardly even afford to eat, what’s the point of just guarding the gold?
The couple apparently thought so too.
There are two elderly people in their family, the couple and two children. They save and save the relief food distributed by the government every time, but it is still not enough.
Shi Jiaojiao walked up and asked, "How much do you sell your things for?"
Both the husband and wife had sallow complexions and their lips were full of cuts due to dryness.
The wife looked up at Shi Jiaojiao cautiously.
Seeing that these four people were clean and fresh, and had no sour or smell, they could definitely afford it.
He quickly took out the small bag from his arms.
The husband took the small bag, shielded his wife behind him, unzipped it and showed it to Shi Jiaojiao, "Just use the food. If you want all of it, 30 kilograms of rice and 10 packets of instant noodles."
Shi Jiaojiao just took a look at the things in the bag. There was quite a lot of gold in it, including rings, necklaces, and three or four large gold bracelets. In addition, there were two small gold bars and two peace locks.
Although some of them were inlaid with various gems, she still didn't understand what the golden house absorbed.
What if the gem is just right?
Shi Jiaojiao took the small bag, weighed it, and looked at the couple. "The 30 kilograms of rice is the relief food. I don't have any instant noodles at the moment. How about 12 compressed biscuits instead?"
Of course she has a lot of instant noodles in her space, but now, she can't take out 30 kilograms of rice and 10 packs of instant noodles from her bag.
After listening to this, the couple nodded repeatedly and agreed to the deal with surprise.
The buyers would definitely bargain down, and they were mentally prepared for that, but they didn't expect that they would just replace the instant noodles with compressed biscuits.
Compressed biscuits are better than instant noodles and save water, not to mention that I was given two extra pieces.
Shi Jiaojiao took out three relief rations from Mu Ci's handbag.
She re-wrapped it after receiving it.
Each portion is 10 kilograms, which is convenient for trading.
After the payment and delivery were settled, Shi Jiaojiao whispered, "Be careful on the way back."
The husband nodded gratefully and left with his wife in his arms.
Shi Jiaojiao looked at the direction they left, it seemed they were heading towards the army.
But this has nothing to do with her anymore. I hope they can get home safely.
Wang Jia was puzzled by Shi Jiaojiao's purchase of gold, and asked in a low voice, "Jiaojiao, I feel a bit of a loss to exchange food for gold now."
Tang Wei also nodded. He felt that nothing was more important than food now.
"It's okay. The relief food is just sitting there anyway, and I didn't exchange it for much." Shi Jiaojiao explained vaguely.
That's right, she didn't intend to collect a large amount of gold, silver and jade from the street stalls.
One reason is that the quantity needed is huge, and it is estimated that even if we put together the entire street stall, it would not be enough for the Golden House to absorb.
Second, she was afraid that buying too much would attract other people's attention.
Although she and Mu Ci are not afraid of trouble now, they don't want to take the initiative to cause trouble.
This time she mainly wanted to collect a little bit of each type to see which one the Golden House absorbed so that she could come up with a solution.
However, when she thought that an entire container had absorbed only 20%, Shi Jiaojiao felt dizzy.
The road ahead is long and arduous.
Several people walked and strolled along the way.
Shi Jiaojiao used the same excuse to accept a few jade bracelets and some silver jewelry.
Of course, some people also put antiques out for sale.
Shi Jiaojiao stood in front of the stall and looked for a long time, but couldn't tell which one was the real one.
She turned her head and looked at Mu Ci for help.
Mu Ci also looked helpless and shook his head.
He really doesn't understand this.
Shi Jiaojiao had no choice but to give up.
He sighed and turned away.
I can only think of other ways.
By the end of the shopping spree, all the food in Shi Jiaojiao's bag had been replaced with a bunch of jewelry.
Under her persuasion, Wang Jia and Tang Wei each changed to two electric blankets.
This is really just luck.
The electric blanket was not second-hand, but was sold by the manufacturer.
Because of the high temperature now, the price is very low, a bag of instant noodles or a pack of biscuits can be exchanged for a bed.
You know, in the near future, not to mention a bag of instant noodles, even 10 boxes of instant noodles cannot be exchanged for an electric blanket.
Seeing it as a good deal, Shi Jiaojiao also changed a few beds as backup.
The four of them returned home with a full load and were all happy.
After arriving home, Shi Jiaojiao immediately threw all the things she had collected from the carpet into the space.
After a few seconds, a prompt sounded.
[Drop, the energy has been absorbed and has been restored to 21%]
Then Shi Jiaojiao entered the space and found that all the jewelry in the bag had disappeared, even the gems inlaid on them.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the news of success.
It seems that the current direction is correct.
But when Shi Jiaojiao saw the progress bar, her head started to hurt again.
Such a big package, but only improved by 1%!
He's just a money-eating beast. Who can afford to upgrade?
And after the absorption, the section of stairs did not change at all!
If it weren't for the thing behind the white fog holding her back, Shi Jiaojiao really wanted to slam the table and quit.
The next day, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci were sitting on the sofa watching a disaster movie and discussing the plot.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Mu Ci opened the door and it turned out to be Wang Jia.
During this period, under the subtle influence of Shi Jiaojiao, Wang Jia and Tang Wei firmly believed that extreme cold would come soon.
Wang Jia even started to prepare for a rainy day. He found Shi Jiaojiao and asked, "Should we go cut down some trees? The moisture in the wood has been dried out, so it will be the best to use it for burning in the future."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay."
Speaking of wood, she suddenly thought of the two containers of coal in the space, plus she had stockpiled a lot of it before the end of the world.
Now, although the amount of coal in her space is not enough to donate, it is more than enough to help her friends.
So she said, "Do you and Tang Wei want to buy some coal? It's not enough to just burn wood, we need coal. My brother found a middleman these days, he has some coal, if you want it, I can bring you some."
Of course, giving it for free is impossible.
A little bit of rice is a favor, a big bit of rice is a grudge.
There is no shortage of food on the 19th floor at the moment.
After hearing this, Wang Jia nodded repeatedly in surprise, "This is a good thing, of course we want it, Tang Wei must also want it, we will decide according to your quantity, and give you as much as you want first."
Wang Jia felt more at ease now that he had coal to use.
The weather is really scary. The maximum temperature has reached 62℃.
What about during extremely cold weather?
Will the temperature reach minus seventy or eighty degrees Celsius?
These are all unknowns.
But looking at the current situation, it is very likely to happen.
If you want to live a good life, you can only take one step at a time and look three steps ahead, and make preparations in advance.
