Chapter 195: The money has not arrived after a long time
After all, it was the fourth dish, so everyone stopped wolfing it down and started eating it in a different way.
Well, you win.
The high school students no longer cared about the weird looks people gave them. They just decided to go for broke. Not to mention that this dish was extremely good before the apocalypse, they probably wouldn't be able to eat it again in their lifetime after the apocalypse.
The fourth auction item turned out to be aloe vera. Aloe vera is a very easy plant to survive. You just need to pinch a corner to make it alive. Unfortunately, many of them died of drought in the first year, and very few survived.
There is no need to talk about the benefits of aloe vera. It is good for beautifying and nourishing the skin. It can be used as a hemostatic patch when applied to a wound. It is also very useful in treating inflammation and frostbite. Jingshu wants to plant some to have on hand when the temperature drops to -70 degrees Celsius.
The biggest advantage of Jingshu's yard is that it has a constant temperature and can be used to grow many things.
Constant temperature is precisely the most luxurious temperature in the apocalypse, because the temperature difference between day and night can be extremely large, which will cause many crops and plants to not grow at all.
"An aloe vera branch costs 200 virtual coins. You can take it home and grow it for a while, and then use it as medicine."
Jingshu: "Then...give me one."
The auction item is a famous cigarette, 50 virtual coins per pack. I heard that Jingshu's family owns a tobacco company, so she wants to ask if there is any tobacco that can be grown before the trade fair is over. Jingye is a big smoker.
Jing Shu: "How about giving me ten?" I didn't have the conditions to buy one before the apocalypse, but I didn't expect that after the apocalypse I would have the opportunity to let Jing Ye taste the famous cigarettes.
Moreover, Jing Ye can no longer get cigarettes from Jing Dad. Jing Ye has been in a bad mood recently and quarrels with Jing Dad every day. For this reason, Jing Shu thinks it is better to return to the previous pattern.
Seeing that people around her were looking at her with strange eyes, Jingshu decided not to buy anything. She was a person who spent all the money she had.
Fortunately, the next auction items did not contain anything that Jingshu was interested in. Most of them were valuable furniture, luxury perfumes, facial masks and other strange things, all of which required virtual currency or food, oil, or coal mines.
A very small number of them were precious foods and poultry, among which a white goose was auctioned for 1,000 virtual coins, a hen was also auctioned for 1,000 virtual coins, and 10kg of frozen beef was auctioned for a high price of 2,000 virtual coins.
Jingshu couldn't help but look thoughtful. She wondered how much a live black pig could fetch these days. Speaking of black pigs, Jingshu thought of her aunt Jingpan's home. She'd checked the location a while ago and found that her aunt's home was on high ground, so it shouldn't have been flooded. So, she hadn't called them to evacuate.
A few days ago, Jingnai called me and found out that nothing happened. She had saved a lot of livestock on the farm, which was considered a great achievement. She would be able to stand up on her own feet in the farm from now on. Her future life would definitely not be too bad. After all, she had a sow that could give birth. Jingshu helped her up with just a little help. She had to admit that her uncle was a great man.
It seems that the lives of the rich are not as good as Jingshu thought. They are all exchanging the excessive hoarded things for food. It is conceivable that everyone is not optimistic about the future situation and wants to store more food.
"This is the 14th dish. Hiccup~ I'm actually full."
“This is dessert.”
"Wow, is this the legendary macaron? Mmmmm, so sweet!"
"Stupid, you have to eat macarons little by little. It takes at least half an hour to finish one."
As the meal was coming to an end, all the items that could be put up for auction had been sold, and three or four of them were unsold.
"This concludes the auction. Next, we'll begin the free exchange phase. Everyone can look at the list of items on the big screen and choose the items they're interested in. If you need an appraisal or want to trade virtual currency, please contact A-Yu."
"By the way, before that, please ask Ayu to trade the virtual currency you want to auction." Su Mali said.
Since Ayu is the only one present at the trading system, if people want to trade virtual currency, they can only do so through Ayu. But it is still much more convenient than going to the supermarket.
"Who comes first? Then we'll go from the one with the largest transaction amount.
"Let's start with the big buyers, Jingshu. 800 for car materials, 4000 for steel, 200 for aloe vera, and 500 for cigarettes, for a total of 5500 virtual coins." Ah Yu pulled out the QR code on her phone. "Just scan it."
Everyone around gathered around eagerly, wanting to take a look, especially Jingshu's high school classmates. 20 points meant more than ten days' worth of food for them, and Jingshu spent 5,500 virtual coins in the blink of an eye, which was equivalent to tens of millions before the end of the world.
Jingshu hesitated for a moment. Li Yuetian said last night that it would arrive within 24 hours. There are still 3 hours left before the full 24 hours, but the virtual currency should have arrived, right?
Don't be embarrassed if the money doesn't arrive.
Jingshu glanced at Ayu...
Murphy's Law is awesome. What Jingshu didn't want to happen actually happened.
Ah Yu coughed and whispered, "You don't have enough virtual currency."
There was a huge uproar around.
Nima Sang shouted, "What? I bought so many things but I don't have that much virtual currency?"
"Yeah, thank goodness we didn't trade anything first. Is it too late to regret it now?"
Yao Zixin: "Don't shout, maybe she's with her parents."
Nima Sang gloated, "Look at Jingshu. The higher you praise her, the harder she falls. Look at how she ends up now. You can't return the things you bought."
Su Mali immediately came to the rescue: "Jingshu, I still owe you virtual currency for the Chinese herbal medicine you found for me last time. I'll transfer it to you right away."
In fact, few people were actually making a fuss, especially the buyer Chen Nan: "Oh, it's not a big deal, I don't want the 800 anymore."
"Then I'll give you the steel. How about getting me a pair of lobsters? I'll give you another thousand virtual coins, how about that?"
...Well, actually it's not as embarrassing as expected. On the contrary, it can reflect the quality of some people.
I don’t know if Jingshu’s personality has improved or her heart has become stronger. This was a great humiliation in her previous life, but after it happened in this life, she actually felt that it was nothing.
Jingshu thought about it and found out the reason. Because she had the Rubik's Cube Space in this life, she had food and supplies, so she didn't have to worry at all. Even if the 6,000 virtual coins didn't arrive, she could go back and catch a few old hens to pay off the debt. It was so awesome.
"Why don't you accept other people's virtual currency first? I estimate it will take another hour or two for mine to arrive. Don't worry, I still want your things and I won't regret it." Jingshu said.
"Who does she think she is? Does she still have a bank transfer business now?" Nima Sang whispered. If at first she just felt that Jingshu and Yao Zixin were too close, then it was pure woman's jealousy, because Jingshu's performance was too perfect, so perfect that she wanted to tear apart everything about her.
