Chapter 642: The Great Tang Dynasty. Let’s Exchange Points
After Chu An washed up, he took out some food with less smell.
The three of them had a quick bite of soy milk, fried dough sticks, boiled eggs, pancakes and fish ball and vermicelli soup.
"I'll pick up the car first and then go to the points redemption office to exchange points." Chu An arranged the itinerary as usual.
"Xiao Ye has brought the car back." Lao Chu patted Gu Ye's shoulder approvingly.
"I just wanted to take a look around, but the man on duty at the registration office was so nice. He helped me talk to the guard, and then I drove back." Gu Ye said with a smile, "There are still a lot of refugees coming today, and they are afraid of taking up space. By the way, he also gave me a vehicle identification number and asked me to put it on the original license plate."
"Probably for better management." Chu An was a little happy and took a big bite of the fried dough stick, which was sweet and delicious.
She was happy not because she had a car to travel with, but because she was happy for Gu Ye, who had completely let go of his psychological burden and was willing to get along with her equally and freely. This was reflected in the fact that he would take the initiative to do things that he thought were right.
In the past, he never opposed Chu An's decisions. He always put Chu An first and would not do anything without Chu An's consent. He would even reduce the scope of his activities for the sake of trouble. Therefore, wherever Chu An was, Gu Ye would definitely be seen.
In fact, he is very smart and has ideas, but he doesn't dare to take that step for fear of causing trouble for Chu An, so he lives without self.
It’s not like Chu An hasn’t talked to him before, but change doesn’t happen overnight. Just like he used to have no sense of belonging, always had nightmares, and was afraid that Chu An would abandon him. It took him nearly a year to slowly get better.
And now that he has found himself again, her big dog will definitely get better and better.
After eating and drinking, Chu An took out the sunscreen and makeup. Everyone played freely. They simply put on some makeup and put on sun hats before leaving the room.
The front desk saw Gu Ye driving back early in the morning and thought they were leaving, so she took the initiative to greet Gu Ye and ask when they would check out. As for why she didn't greet Chu An, it was because people of the same sex repel each other.
Gu Ye frowned. Was his painting so bad?
"Not retreating for now."
Even if I look for another house today, I have to have a backup plan.
"Hey, young man, your car is so nice, why are you still staying in this kind of guesthouse?" The relative at the front desk said sarcastically.
"That's right. You can live on Fifth Avenue. There are high-end apartments there."
The three of them ignored each other and walked away for a long time.
If it were in the past, Chu An would have tried not to make enemies with others, after all, it was uncertain what a desperate person could do. Including in Qingrun Apartment, she would think twice before teaching someone a lesson, and try not to attract too much attention, and keep a low profile, because she would not have the chance to do it again.
With the same abilities, those who are fearless will move forward courageously, while those who have concerns and weaknesses will shrink back. As an observer, you may think that the latter are too cowardly, but the latter really don't want to regret it for a lifetime just for a moment of pleasure.
But now it's different. In addition to her own improvement in strength, Gu Ye and Lao Chu have adapted to the end of the world. Especially Gu Ye, his fighting power is higher than Li Rong, and he has matured. Even if he is left alone in the end of the world, he can survive. Lao Chu is also a man with many tricks and a little bit of bad luck (otherwise, he can't use the end of the world, and he will be killed eight hundred times by his lover)
Now she doesn't have to protect them like an old hen, so she wants to be a little arrogant for once.
The three men strode towards the Hummer. Two of them stood by and looked inside. When they saw someone coming, they left in a hurry.
Just wave away these little flies.
Gu Ye took the initiative to drive, Chu An was the co-pilot, and Lao Chu sat in the back seat. Although the Hummer was not abrupt on the street, it was still quite eye-catching.
They were familiar with several families in the outer city who had nice cars, and they could even memorize their license plates, but this car was obviously new. Some people were less curious and followed it for a few steps; some were more curious and followed it for an entire street, and finally gave up when they were so tired that they stuck out their tongues and couldn't keep up.
The points exchange place is an independent small courtyard with a row of brick houses, a warehouse behind the brick houses, and a garbage mountain next to it. There should be more houses behind the garbage mountain, but they can't see them from their location. The whole points exchange place is a bit like a scrap collection station.
Gu Ye slowed down. There was a commander at the door, directing two transport vehicles to leave. He also directed Gu Ye to drive into the yard from the side.
Theirs was the only car that came in, and next to them were people walking, some carrying things on their backs, in their arms, or on shoulder poles. Their things were covered with plastic sheets, so they couldn't see what was inside.
The yard is very spacious, with scrapped vehicles, machinery and equipment, steel bars and cement, tables, chairs and benches...
Not long after driving in, we met another staff member who stopped the car and asked them what they were selling so as to divert the car.
"My stuff is a bit mixed, including machinery and equipment, daily necessities and food," said Chu An.
"Then go to the general hall. Turn left and go around the garbage mountain and you will see it." The staff member said calmly, "You should come in from the door on Fourth Avenue, which is closer to the general hall."
Chu An also felt that this door was not right, as if it was a back door. Thinking about it this way, the points exchange place was indeed not small, occupying two streets.
Gu Ye drove around the garbage mountain. There were also people sorting garbage here, but there were not as many people as in City C. They must have been paid less.
The comprehensive hall is a three-story building. The first floor is similar to a workshop. There is a wide door every ten meters or so. They are all open at this time, so you can see what's going on inside.
There are not many sellers, but there are many repairmen who are checking the cars and equipment towed in from the junkyard. If they can be repaired, they will be repaired. If they cannot be repaired, they will be dismantled and sold for parts.
There is a rolling electronic screen on the front of the comprehensive hall, which displays today's exchange price.
The first is the price of staple food, which is higher than Chuan expected. One pound of medium-quality rice can be exchanged for 4 points, one pound of medium-quality white flour can be exchanged for 2 points, other miscellaneous rice is also 2 points, and corn is 1 point.
One pound of flour can make about 12 steamed buns, and 2 points can also buy 12 steamed buns. Chu An didn't know how big the steamed buns were, and the base should also make a little profit. In short, it would not be a one-to-one distribution to refugees, but overall it was reasonable.
Salt is the most expensive, and 1 point is priced at 1 gram of normal refined salt. A normal person needs 5-6 grams of salt per day, or at least 4 grams. If you want to consume a normal amount, you need 120 points per month.
It's good for a worker to earn 20 points a month, no wonder everyone wants to join the scavenging team. However, those who really can't afford refined salt can eat coarse salt and industrial salt.
The second most popular seasoning is sugar, which is about 10% of salt, and other seasonings are 50%-70% of salt.
The cheapest is the exchange of clothes and quilts, which is calculated by kilogram, with one point for every 40 kilograms.
At the bottom you can see the drug exchange. Antibiotics are the most expensive, with one antibiotic costing 60 points. Then there are analgesics and anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-allergic drugs, vaccines, first aid drugs, special medicines, etc.
Those who have medicine in their hands will not take it out now. Maybe they think no one will come to redeem points, so they put it at the bottom.
I didn’t see the prices of rare metals, glass, rubber and plastic. Maybe I missed them because there are too many of them.
Chu An didn't want to look at them one by one, so she asked Gu Ye to park the car nearby so as not to delay others from walking.
"Old Chu, how many points do I need to live in the base for a month?" Chu An asked.
"Ah? I don't know either." Lao Chu has never spent his own money.
"Forget it, let's redeem the points first."
She wants to achieve financial freedom here, so she will use the points first.
She didn't want to exchange food, as there were many low-usage items in the space, such as cigarettes, alcohol, refined oil, python skin... She couldn't find an exchange price for any of these.
