After explaining things to her older sister, Xu Lin offered to give her two extra bags as compensation.
Xu Lin didn't want to bring strangers to her home, but she was also worried about the safety of transactions outside. The older sister offered to come to her house, since Zhou Pin had a tricycle and it was inconvenient to move several large items.
The two parties rescheduled to meet at the elder sister's house in the afternoon to complete the transaction, and then exchanged contact numbers.
The eldest sister's surname is Chen, and Xu Lin calls her Sister Chen.
"Don't worry, Sister Chen, I'll be there at 3 PM."
"If you forget me, I'll come and kill you at your house!"
The eldest sister had no other choice. She had so many antiques, and only Xu Lin could accept them, so she had no choice but to take a gamble and trust Xu Lin.
After saying goodbye to her older sister, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin strolled around the market for a while to see what was being sold. They eventually discovered that the most popular items were wild vegetables and meat.
"It seems everyone is doing well and has started to improve their living standards."
“Yes, there are also snack stalls over there,” Zhou Pin said, pointing to a small stall in front of him.
Xu Lin took a look and realized that these were cold noodles and grilled gluten!
"Boss, how much are the cold noodles?" someone asked the boss directly.
"Three points per serving," the shopkeeper said without looking up from his work.
"So expensive?"
"There's no other way, the raw materials are too expensive!"
"One, please!" The man took out his ID card and swiped it on the cash register.
With a swift stroke, the vendor cut the noodles into strips, added some cucumber shreds, mixed in sesame sauce, and drizzled with garlic water—and a serving of cold noodles was ready. The customer then took out a lunchbox.
Yes, that's right, it's a lunchbox. After the apocalypse, factories were paralyzed, and there were no more disposable items like takeout boxes and plastic bags. At this time, anyone who had a plastic bag was considered wealthy, so people would consciously bring their own containers when they went out to buy things.
There were also stalls selling wild fruits and vegetables nearby. Xu Lin bought a pound of shepherd's purse to make dumplings when she got home for lunch.
The two returned home from the market after 10 p.m. After washing their hands, they prepared to make dumplings. Xu Lin picked shepherd's purse, while Zhou Pin kneaded the dough and chopped the meat filling.
"It's been so long since I've had shepherd's purse dumplings." Xu Lin's mouth was practically watering.
"Save some shepherd's purse to stir-fry with eggs tonight," Zhou Pin said while kneading the dough.
"I remember there are shepherd's purse seeds in the space. We can plant them in that wasteland in the space, and then we'll have a continuous supply of shepherd's purse to eat."
After harvesting the grains in the space, Xu Lin planted rice, wheat, corn, peanuts, and sorghum. Since there were no seasons in the space, she could plant whatever she wanted.
Sixty dumplings were made for lunch. Xu Lin ate 20, the same as Zhou Pin, and the remaining 20 were left raw in her space.
"Luckily, I only cooked 40, otherwise my stomach would have burst," Xu Lin said, rubbing her belly.
"Have some dumpling soup; the original soup will help digest your food." Zhou Pin handed Xu Lin a bowl of dumpling soup.
"How many packets do you think I should take?" Xu Lin asked, holding the bowl with both hands and sipping her soup.
"Don't exchange all the antiques she has. Let her keep a couple. She'll come back to us if she finds something suitable in the future."
"Okay, I'll take out all the bags. You can help me choose which ones to change." Xu Lin waved her hand, and the living room floor was covered with designer bags from before the apocalypse.
Zhou Pin washed the dishes and came to the living room to see Chanel, Grandma, Louis Vuitton, and other luxury brands scattered all over the floor.
Finally, the rent collector took out a woven bag and asked Zhou Pin to stuff it into it.
"You received so many packages!"
"This is nothing, there are still many more in the space. Let's take 30 over to exchange them, and come back to pick them up when the price is right."
