"Hey, it's you guys! Long time no see."
"Big sister, it's been a long time. Are you still selling seeds?"
"Yes, we sell them. We sell not only seeds, but also supplies."
"You've really made your business bigger and stronger!"
"Thank you all for your trust, hehe."
Xu Lin's eyes flickered, and suddenly an idea came to her.
"Big sister, what kind of supplies are you buying?"
"We collect almost anything that isn't garbage or waste, whether it's food, clothing, or household items."
"I have a few bags here, would you like to take them?" Xu Lin took an LV bag out of a large backpack. "Do you take bags like this?"
The woman opposite him suddenly brightened up.
"Hey girl, you still have this kind of stuff at a time like this?"
"It was found when we were looking for supplies,"
What do you want to exchange for it?
"What do you have?" Xu Lin had enough supplies and didn't lack anything for the time being. She just needed to see if this older woman could come up with something that would impress her.
"I have points, seeds, clothes, accessories, compressed biscuits, dehydrated vegetables, and grains. What do you want to exchange for?"
"Do you have any antiques or anything like that?" Xu Lin wanted to exchange some antiques to expand the space.
"It's the apocalypse, antiques are useless, they don't keep you fed or drunk!"
"I have everything I need, I just want to exchange it for some antiques to display at home so it's pleasing to the eye. It's like how people still like designer bags even in the apocalypse." Xu Lin almost believed what she was saying herself.
"I do have some antiques, but they're not in my possession. I'll go and exchange them with them. How about we come over to make the deal at this time tomorrow?"
The secondhand dealer was surprised that someone would buy the antiques that nobody wanted at the secondhand market. She decided to go back and immediately contact all her relatives to buy antiques.
"We're going out tomorrow, so how about this: I'll come back in two weeks to exchange them with you. You can use this time to find some more antiques."
"Hey girl, it's not that I don't trust you, but I've found a bunch of antiques. What if you decide you don't want them anymore? Wouldn't that leave me with nothing?"
“Then let’s go get certified by the base,” Zhou Pin said.
Zhou Pin rarely speaks, but he always offers constructive suggestions at crucial moments.
The base's administrative functions are relatively complete, including those for escrow transactions. Both parties sign contracts at the window using their real names and are required to provide collateral. After fulfilling their obligations, both parties retrieve the collateral. However, a drawback of this method is that a 1% tax must be paid regardless of whether the transaction is successful or not.
The older sister was a straightforward person, and both parties immediately went to the escrow transaction window to make a guarantee.
"This service window at the base is good. Although it charges a small handling fee, it helps prevent further losses. However, the cost is a bit high for the average person. How did you find out about this service window?"
“The base distributed a handbook a few days ago, which introduces the various functional departments and service windows of the base, as well as some policies. I’ll get it for you to look at when I get home.”
"Alright, you still need my brother Zhou when it matters." Xu Lin patted Zhou Pin on the shoulder.
After saying goodbye to her older sister, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin went to several jewelry stalls and exchanged the dried rice for a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
Xu Lin already had enough space. Upgrading the space was less about storing supplies and more about developing more functions for it.
The two strolled around casually, and when Xu Lin got tired, Zhou Pin took her home.
Xu Lin was told to go to bed and rest, while Zhou Pin went to the kitchen to prepare food. When Xu Lin woke up in the evening, Zhou Pin had prepared a table full of dishes, desserts, and snacks.
