Moreover, this gap will only become more and more obvious as the number of days spent seeking a better life increases.
But she couldn't say these things, and she couldn't say them to anyone.
Gu Xi stammered, "Well, maybe I was just lucky."
This was the only excuse Gu Xi could think of, and the only explanation Xu Lulu could come up with.
Xu Lulu: "Sister Xi, I'll take the wine. I know someone who knows cigarettes and liquor. Have him add you as a friend, and you two can chat."
Gu Xi: "Okay, but is he reliable?"
Gu Xi trusts Xu Lulu, but that doesn't mean she trusts the people Xu Lulu introduces.
Xu Lulu: "Reliable. People in the underworld make a living based on their reputation. They may be a bit materialistic, but they are loyal and honorable."
Hearing Xu Lulu say that, Gu Xi felt half relieved. She was quite familiar with people involved in the underworld. The group of people in Zhushi Lane might not be the best in terms of character, but they were definitely loyal and trustworthy. Otherwise, who would be willing to entrust their back to you?
I just don't know what kind of person Xu Lulu was talking about is. It's fine to be greedy, especially at this point in time, it's perfectly acceptable for people to think of themselves. But it's unacceptable to deliberately harm others for a little profit.
Gu Xi: "Okay, introduce him to me. I'll give you the wine."
Xu Lulu: "Sister Xi, this won't do. I haven't even said what kind of transaction I'm using."
Gu Xi: "I only need the basic materials this time, a large amount of basic materials. You definitely have them. If not, you can pay in installments."
Xu Lulu was also surprised, after all, in her eyes Gu Xi was not someone who lacked basic materials.
Xu Lulu: "Sister Xi, how much do you want?"
Gu Xi: "100 units of wood, 100 units of fiber, and just one more blueprint."
Gu Xi actually wanted more timber, but given the current output, she knew that asking for more was unrealistic.
The blueprints were fine, but Xu Lulu's eyes widened when she saw the hundreds of units.
Xu Lulu: "Sister Xi, you've asked for way too much timber!"
Gu Xi: "Not much. They said it can be paid in installments. You give me 50 portions of timber every day, and it will be settled in 2 days. How fast!"
Xu Lulu: "Okay, let me see."
After weighing the options, Xu Lulu decided to buy the wine. After all, such things are rare and hard to come by, and the price Gu Xi quoted was for the most readily available basic materials, so the quantity wasn't unreasonable.
She checked her inventory; she had 58 units of timber and 40 units of fiber left. She planned to trade 50 units of timber and 40 units of fiber first.
Xu Lulu: "Sister Xi, I'll send the things over to you first, and then you can bring me the wine."
Gu Xi: "No problem."
After hanging up the phone call, Gu Xi quickly received 50 sheets of wood and 40 sheets of fiber and toothbrush blueprints from Xu Lulu. Immediately afterwards, she sent the wine to Xu Lulu.
After building yesterday, there was still 20 wood left. This morning, 19 ordinary wooden crates and one exquisite wooden crate were added.
Gu Xi is currently planning to make storage boxes, so the exquisite wooden box was dismantled, and it contributed 6 units of wood.
Based on this calculation, she already had 72 units of wood, plus the 50 units of wood she had just received, for a total of 122 units of wood.
Just thinking about the 420 pieces of wood needed for the four walls, seven ceiling panels, a window, and a door, as well as the 80 pieces of rope, gave her a headache.
"Sigh, hopefully the next gangster will give us more basic supplies!" (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
