Chapter 6: Money is hard to spend
All the dishes that Xu Xinxin took out were for sale, and it didn't matter where they were sold.
Anyway, she left a large handful in the space, intending to keep it for herself.
She nodded and said, "Sure."
"I want some too," the grandmother who grew mutant cabbages next to her also came over and said, "I want 5 kilograms, no, 10 kilograms!"
Xu Xinxin looked puzzled: "Grandma, don't you grow vegetables yourself?"
If you grow your own vegetables, no matter how mutated they are, you can still harvest a plate of normal vegetables.
Grandma Bai Cai smiled and said, "I am just craving for water spinach. Other vegetables can be grown in greenhouses, but water spinach is only delicious when grown naturally by the river. I'll take it home and mix it with some cold salad, or stir-fry it with dried tofu. It tastes so delicious~"
The people around him drooled when they heard this, and they all said, "Weigh 5 kilograms for me too."
"I want 3 kilograms."
"I want 2 jin, not 3 jin!"
Xu Xinxin couldn't remember, and said in a panic: "Take your time."
She didn't have bags to put the vegetables in, but everyone brought their own bags, so she simply borrowed the scale next to her and quickly sold 125 kilograms.
Selling one pound earns 5 points, and soon, 625 points are credited to your account.
Adding Xu Xinxin’s original 188 points, the total is 813 points!
She still weighs more than 400 pounds.
Grandma Baicai, who was standing by, saw this and said, "Why don't you sell me all the remaining water spinach? My grandson has a small shop in the mall that specializes in selling fruits and vegetables. If you sell it to me sooner, I can leave sooner."
Xu Xinxin originally planned to sell the vegetables to vegetable vendors. It was not that she didn't want to set up a stall, but she did not rent a stall in advance.
It would be okay for her to sell privately a few times, but if she directly found an empty space to set up a stall, she would be violating the rules and would have to pay three times the stall fee and a fine.
"Cabbage...Grandma, please take me to see it first." She said.
"Oh, what is Grandma Baicai? My last name is Cai, you can just call me Grandma Cai."
Xu Xinxin: “…Okay, Grandma Cai.”
Grandma Cai’s shop is on the first floor. Enter the mall, turn right and walk to the end. There is the shop with an area of 30 to 40 square meters.
This shop probably used to sell women's clothing, and the fitting mirrors are still there.
"Welcome... Grandma, why did you drag so many vegetables here? I told you I don't want the vegetables you grow."
As soon as Xu Xinxin walked into the store, she saw a tall, thin, mature-looking man running out.
"Girl, this is my grandson. He looks strong, right?"
Grandma Cai turned back to look at her grandson again, smiling with wrinkles all over her face, and said, "Sun Kunpeng, look, I'm here to help you buy the goods."
At this time, Sun Kunpeng noticed the bamboo basket that Xu Xinxin was pushing. Looking at the water spinach inside, he asked in surprise, "Grandma, you really didn't grow this vegetable?"
"Well, these dishes all belong to this girl."
Hearing Grandma Cai's affirmative words, Sun Kunpeng finally breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "As long as it's not planted by you..."
"What did you say?"
"I said, I'm glad you came!"
Sun Kunpeng quickly took over the cart and welcomed the two people in. He accidentally saw the quality label of the water spinach and said with satisfaction: "Girl, I will buy all your water spinach at the original price. What do you think?"
Generally, vegetable farmers sell vegetables to vendors at a price lower than the "suggested retail price" - 30%, and sometimes even lower.
Otherwise, these vendors have to pay shop rent, water and electricity bills, plus labor costs, and they cannot make back their investment.
"No, no," Xu Xinxin said quickly, "Business requires give and take. I will come again in the future. Just give me whatever price you want."
"I like girls like you who are straightforward," Sun Kunpeng said happily, "I'll still buy it at the original price this time. After all, you were brought here by my grandmother, so I have to give her some face.
If you have anything of quality no less than "0" in the future, feel free to send it to me. I guarantee you won't suffer any loss."
What this means is that he doesn't accept mutated vegetables.
Xu Xinxin glanced at Grandma Cai casually, then nodded and said, "No problem."
When selling Amaranthus previously, Xu Xinxin added a handful each, resulting in some losses. As a result, out of 608 kilograms of Amaranthus, 125 kilograms were sold, and now only 478.6 kilograms are left.
Sun Kunpeng pressed the calculator and said, "478.6 kilograms, I'll calculate your weight as 480 kilograms, the total is... 2400 points, I'll transfer it to you now."
As Boss Sun spoke, he transferred 2,400 points to Xu Xinxin's card.
Now, Xu Xinxin has a total of 3213 points, which is a huge sum of money.
"Boss, I wish you a prosperous business. I will come again next time."
Xu Xinxin greeted the boss enthusiastically and began to think about how she was going to spend so much money.
By the way, the “food quality measuring instrument” used by those staff members just now costs 899 points. She bought one and it will be useful for her farming later.
Also, you need to buy a few large pots. She has wood spirit roots, so you can soak the seeds in water to germinate, so that the survival rate of the plants is high.
She also had to buy a fish and give it to the finless porpoise.
Xu Xinxin walked around the neighborhood.
Eh... a big plastic basin costs 66 points? But this is very practical, so she bought it anyway.
It’s a bit late now. There are only two small grass carps left, one weighing 1 jin and the other 2 jin, plus a plastic bag, for a total of 84 points.
Xu Xinxin wanted to buy some meat, but meat sold faster than fish. The ordinary meat had been sold out long ago, and there was not much mutant meat left, so she didn't buy it.
She bought a box of toilet paper, which cost 38 points, a pack of sanitary napkins, 29 points, and the cheapest face cream, 63 points.
Face cream is very expensive, but her skin is so dry in winter that it is about to break out, so she has to buy it.
A thermos bottle is worth 33 points, a vacuum flask is worth 46 points, and a ceramic water cup is worth 18 points.
By the way, she also needs to buy some rice and noodles.
Fortunately, the sale of ordinary rice is taken over by the state, and each person is limited to purchasing 5 kilograms per month, with 6 points per kilogram.
Xu Xinxin spent 30 points to buy 5 kilograms of ordinary rice, and then went to another store to buy 30 kilograms of "level -5" mutant rice, at 1.1 points per kilogram, spending another 33 points.
This cost 1315 points.
She still has a lot of things to buy.
There was only a small machete at home, so she had to buy scissors, a hoe, and a sickle. She also wanted two bamboo baskets, some towels, and a bucket.
These things cost her another 268 points.
Finally the big item came, and she also had to buy seeds!
It is best to buy evolution seeds when farming, otherwise, ordinary seeds can easily produce mutant plants.
A pack of evolved water spinach seeds, a total of 30 seeds, costs 900 points, 30 points per seed!
She wanted to buy other seeds, but the boss said they were all booked and she could only book today and buy them next time.
She spent a total of 2,483 points today, and only had 730 points left.
I almost forgot to buy honeycomb briquettes.
Xu Xinxin bought another 100 pieces of honeycomb briquettes, 2 pieces for 1 point, spending 50 points in total.
Now there are only 680 points left.
Money is really hard to spend.
