Chapter 5 Selling Kerosene Lamps
He quickly ran behind the counter and weighed the remaining half bag of White Rabbit candy. After weighing it, he was stunned: "How is this possible? Why is there nothing missing?"
Su Xiaoxiao was too lazy to waste time with her, so she turned around and left with her two younger brothers.
She should try to come to the supply and marketing cooperative less often in the future to avoid Zhang Dongmei, the mad dog, biting people at every turn.
Thinking of the rebate mechanism in the game, Su Xiaoxiao felt a little better and couldn't wait to go home and study it carefully.
"Go finish your homework first. I'll check it later. I remember exactly how many candies you both have in your pockets. Eat no more than two a day. If you dare eat more, I'll spank you."
The two little brothers covered their buttocks and nodded rapidly, "Wow, why did their third sister suddenly become so fierce?"
There are six people in the Su family. The eldest brother and the second brother work in a steel factory and a towel factory respectively. They usually eat and live in the factory and only come back on weekends.
There are three main rooms in the house, which were built when their father was the village chief. The one on the west side is shared by the eldest and second brothers, the one in the middle is for Su Xiaoxiao, and the largest one on the east side is for Liu Cuilan and her two younger brothers.
Usually when the eldest and second brothers are not at home, the two younger brothers live in their room.
Su Xiaoxiao made all the arrangements for the two of them, turned around and went into her own room, sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and tapped in the air, opening the game interface.
As soon as the colorful game interface unfolded in front of me, a series of message alert sounds rang in my ears.
She looked at the lower right corner and saw 99+ messages.
What is all this?
She swiped her finger and opened a message.
The above is a purchase information: Looking to buy an old kerosene lamp, the price ranges from 50 to 200.
Kerosene lamp?
Kerosene lamps are only one yuan each now, available at the supply and marketing cooperatives, and no tickets are required.
Su Xiaoxiao was eager to try, but when she touched her pocket, her heart immediately sank. Not to mention a dollar, she didn't have a single cent at all.
Suddenly, she remembered that she had a ready-made kerosene lamp at home.
Try it!
If you succeed, you will become a rich woman; if you fail, at most you will be penniless.
She did it right away and rushed into the east room. The two little brothers were lying on the table with their butts sticking up, doing their homework. The kerosene lamp was placed in the corner of the table.
When they heard the noise, the two people's first reaction was to hide their homework.
As a result, before he could take any action, he was caught red-handed by the quick-eyed Su Xiaoxiao.
"What are you two doing?"
Su Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes and looked at them, feeling that these two must be up to no good.
"Do...do homework." The two brats said in unison.
"Why are you two so nervous about doing homework?"
Her suspicious gaze swirled between the two of them, finally landing on the corner of the table that was pressed by Su Jianwu's arm.
"What's hidden down there? Lift your arms."
"Nothing, just my homework."
Su Xiaoxiao had a hunch that something was fishy, and without saying anything, she pulled out the homework book that Su Jianwu had hidden under the table.
Seeing the homework book, she was stunned for a moment: "Why is your homework book not the same color?"
She reached out and flipped through it. The notebook of more than ten pages was stapled together crookedly with staples. On the top were a few sheets of thin white paper, in the middle were yellowed and rough straw paper, and the last few sheets were simply old newspapers with very few words on them.
Su Jianwu straightened his back proudly when he heard this. "My brother was elected class monitor this semester, and these papers are a gift from his classmates. We can just order them for ourselves. We can collect them once a week and then we don't have to spend money on buying them. Sister, aren't we smart?"
Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her brows, thinking that these two naughty kids were collecting notebook paper in the class, one for each of them, and then taking it home to make their own notebooks.
He is so young, but he already knows how to abuse his power for personal gain. What will happen in the future?
One of them knocked his head and said, "If you don't have notebooks, I'll buy them for you. Don't cheat your classmates again."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that there was an essay written on the notebook, titled "My Sister".
Su Xiaoxiao felt very relieved that her love for these two little brothers was not in vain.
He turned the page with a smile on his face, and then his face turned green.
There was a paragraph on it that read: My eldest sister is twenty years old this year, with a round face, dark braids, and two dimples when she smiles...
She slammed the notebook on the table, shaking it a few times.
"Come and tell me, when did our eldest brother become a eldest sister? And he still has a round face. Come, you two can see where our round face came from?"
It has to be said that all the siblings of the Su family look like their biological mother Liu Cuilan, with the same oval face and double eyelids. They are all very good-looking, especially Su Xiaoxiao, who is a famous beauty in the surrounding area.
Finally, the two little brothers, who were hesitant, confessed with blushing faces that they had copied the homework.
Su Xiaoxiao beat them up, warned them repeatedly to rewrite the article, and then she couldn't wait to go back to her room with the kerosene lamp.
She opened the interface and sent a friend request to the account that posted the purchase information.
The other party should be online, and the call will be accepted within two seconds.
The King of Buying Old Things: Hello, beautiful lady, do you have any kerosene lamps for sale?
Susu is so hungry: Yes.
While she was sending the message, she also took a photo using the camera function.
The King of Buying Old Things: Damn, this is well preserved. I’ll give you the highest price of 200. Will you sell it?
Susu is so hungry: Sell.
As soon as this word was sent, the other party immediately sent over an address.
The old item buyer: Here is the address. I’ll pay you a 50 deposit first, and the remaining 150 after the goods arrive.
Susu is so hungry: No problem.
The other party quickly sent a red envelope. Su Xiaoxiao clicked on the red envelope and heard a ding sound. The balance in her wallet immediately became 51.3 gold coins.
Su Xiaoxiao stared at the string of numbers and found it incredible that she actually exchanged the money she received into gold coins according to the price of goods.
In this way, one cent in this era can be exchanged for one gold coin, while one dollar in modern times can be exchanged for one gold coin. The currency exchange rate should be 1:100.
She rubbed her hands together excitedly, first aimed the kerosene lamp at the delivery interface, clicked confirm, and then whoosh, the kerosene lamp disappeared out of thin air before her eyes.
The logistics information was quickly updated on the shipping interface, indicating that the goods had been collected.
Su Xiaoxiao was very excited and eager to try to withdraw the gold coins. However, after looking around, she found that there was no withdrawal button at all.
Gold coins can only be used to purchase items in the game store or trade with other users.
She was lost for only a second before she was immediately revived with full health. Although she couldn't withdraw cash, this mall had basically everything. Even if there was something missing, she could still send a message to the world to buy it.
This is so cool.
She swiped the game interface and stared at the sweet and sour pork ribs that cost 8 gold coins, her saliva streaming.
That day she only ate a bite of dry steamed bread, and her desire for meat had already reached its peak.
How can I explain to my family that I suddenly made a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs?
Just as she was struggling, the door was kicked open.
Her mother, Liu Cuilan, rushed in angrily: "Su Xiaoxiao, where is our kerosene lamp?"
Kerosene lamp? Sent it away?
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes inadvertently noticed that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the expression on her face slowly froze. Damn, she was asked to sell the kerosene lamp. What will she use to light up tonight?
Seeing Liu Cuilan skillfully picking up the feather duster, Su Xiaoxiao immediately begged for mercy: "Mom, listen to my excuse, bah, explain."
