Chapter 23 Flat Constant Temperature Space
The entire makeup box has carvings on five sides and some gold powder decorations in some parts, but the carvings on the top and the front have some wear and scratches, the lock on the top flap has fallen off, and only one row of hinges remains on the bottom drawer.
This carved makeup box was something she had obtained when she signed in at a thrift store in town. She didn't pay much attention to it at the time and placed it directly in the system warehouse.
I didn't expect that when I put it into the system store just now, this carved cosmetic box actually showed that it could be exchanged for 500 contribution points!
With the help of the flashlight, Shen Anan carefully opened the makeup box and checked it carefully, and indeed found some clues.
The drawer under the makeup box was obviously shorter. After taking the drawer down, I found a secret compartment at the bottom of the makeup box.
Inside were 200 yuan and a gold bracelet, as well as various bills, including food coupons and industrial coupons, some of which had expired.
Shen Anan couldn't help but feel happy. Who wouldn't like to pick up bargains?
Especially now that the system store appeared, she realized that she was still too poor.
After putting away the money and notes, Shen Anan also put the carved makeup box into the space.
According to her observation, this makeup box has a history of at least one or two hundred years. It has delicate carvings and can be considered a fine work of art after someone repairs it.
It seems that I can go to the thrift store when I have time later, maybe I can find a bargain.
Shen Anan yawned and planned to take another nap. Yesterday, she was busy rescuing abducted children and upgrading the system, which was really tiring.
Just as I was feeling a little sleepy, the system's voice sounded again in my mind.
"Ding! The chance to win the lottery for upgrading has not been used yet. Please draw the lottery within 24 hours."
"Hey, that's too much!"
Shen Anan waved her fist at the air frantically. This sign-in system seemed to be against her. She envied other people's systems because they were intelligent, unlike her system which was like a mental retardation.
Shen Anan sat up resignedly, "Draw a lottery."
"Ding, congratulations to the host for winning the lottery and winning 500 square meters of constant temperature space."
It’s actually a 500-square-meter constant temperature space!
Shen Anan was completely awake. The 10-square-meter constant temperature space she had drawn before was no longer enough as more and more people signed in.
Especially during this system upgrade, things in the system warehouse could not be taken out. Now that the space has been expanded, she can put more things in it.
"007, great job!"
Even though the system still had no response, Shen Anan was still very excited.
This time, she couldn't fall asleep at all, so Shen Anan simply got up and went to the kitchen.
For Chinese people, when something good happens, the first way they think of to celebrate is to have a good meal!
Looking at the empty kitchen, Shen Anan remembered that Wang Sufen would lock the ingredients in the cupboard every night because she was afraid that her family would steal food. Now, besides the seasonings, there were only a few sweet potatoes covered in mud in the kitchen.
After thinking about it, Shen Anan took out three pounds of flour and two pounds of meat from the space. Fortunately, when she came back yesterday, she was still carrying a backpack. She could say that she bought them from the town yesterday.
Shen Anan used warm water to knead the dough, stirring with chopsticks while adding water. After the flour was stirred into dough, she added the old dough that Wang Sufen had stored next to the stove, kneaded the dough into a smooth dough, then covered it with wet gauze and placed it on the stove for later use.
Then chop the pork into minced meat, add a small amount of scallion and ginger water and seasonings, then beat in two eggs, and stir in one direction with chopsticks to make the minced meat firm.
Roll the proofed dough into a large sheet, spread the prepared meat filling on it, roll up the sheet, pinch the two ends to seal it, and a large meat dragon is ready.
Yes, a meat dragon!
In her previous life, Shen Anan loved all kinds of pasta, and Roulong could rank in the top three on her breakfast list.
She was figuring out how to make a fire when she heard a door open in the yard, and then footsteps approaching the kitchen door.
"Little sister, why did you get up so early!" Mrs. Shen said in surprise.
Now she and Li Cui'er take turns to make breakfast. She just heard some noise in the kitchen and thought that Li Cui'er had remembered the wrong date.
"I had a beautiful dream, but I couldn't sleep, so I got up."
"Go wash your face quickly, it's all covered in flour. Let me handle this." Shen Anan touched her face with her hand and found that it was indeed covered in flour.
"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law. I have already made the meat dragon. It will be ready after steaming for 20 minutes. After steaming, you have to wait for 5 minutes before opening the pot."
"Okay, okay, I got it. Go take a rest."
Mrs. Shen looked at the huge piece of dough on the chopping board with some curiosity. She had never seen this kind of food here before, and it looked like it was filled with stuffing.
When Shen Anan changed her clothes and washed up, all the Shen family members had already gotten up.
In addition to the meat dragon, Mrs. Shen also made a pot of brown rice porridge.
The skin of the meat dragon is soft and chewy, and it is filled with meat filling. Juice flows out when you bite it, which is really satisfying.
After breakfast, Shen Anan and Shen Yuanjia set off for the town. Shen Yuanjia had to report to the police station today, and she also happened to plan to go to the town today, so they went out together.
When they arrived in town, the two siblings went their separate ways, and Shen Anan and Shen Yuanjia agreed to meet at the town police station at noon.
After Shen Yuanjia walked away, Shen Anan found an empty alley, took out the bicycle, put things in the backpack, and rode towards the post office.
As soon as she entered the door of the post office, Sister Zhou saw Shen Anan and said in surprise: "Anan, you are here. Sister Zhou is looking forward to seeing you every day."
"I came here right after I finished my work. By the way, Sister Zhou, did you get a reply to my last manuscript?"
Sister Zhou shook her head. "I've been keeping an eye on it these days, but I haven't seen a reply yet."
Sister Zhou found a short-haired salesperson from the back to help watch the counter, and then took Shen Anan to a small room in the back.
Sister Zhou opened the drawer with the key, took out the money, and stuffed it into Shen Anan's hand: "From that day on, I brought money with me every day, just waiting for you to come, and I will give it to you quickly. Do you see if the amount is correct?"
Shen Anan casually put the money into her backpack, "Sister Zhou, based on our friendship, how can I not trust you!"
"An'an, what did you bring this time?" Sister Zhou couldn't control her eyes and looked into the backpack that Shen An'an was carrying.
The things she brought back last time were of great help, especially to her newborn granddaughter, who has become fatter these days.
Shen Anan lifted the straw on the backpack, “This time there is a live chicken, ten kilograms of cornmeal, and three grass carps.”
“Okay, okay, Sister Zhou doesn’t know how to thank you.” Sister Zhou didn’t expect Shen Anan to be able to get a live chicken. This is a rare thing that can’t even be found on the black market.
Shen Anan stuffed the backpack into Sister Zhou's hands, "Sister Zhou, just give me the money next time."
"But I have to come to the post office every time to send you things, which is too conspicuous. Should we go to another place?"
"Yes, we have to change the place. Um... An An, Sister Zhou has something else to tell you." Sister Zhou felt a little embarrassed.
"You know, everyone's family is in a tight spot right now. Last time I took something from you, my relatives and neighbors all wanted me to ask if you could still get food."
Sister Zhou added: "I know I'm putting you in a difficult position. I'm just asking for your help. If you can bring me something, I'll be very grateful to you."
Shen Anan thought for a while and said, “Sister, how about this, you provide an address, preferably an inconspicuous place.”
"After that, I will put the things I get there every ten days, and you can go and pick them up. As for the quantity of things, I can't guarantee it."
Shen Anan originally wanted to cash in some of the supplies through Sister Zhou, so she readily agreed.
Even though there is a system store now, it is not cost-effective to recycle things according to the current prices. For example, the system's recycling price for a live chicken weighing about six pounds is only six contribution points.
Sister Zhou was overjoyed and responded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Sister Zhou won't tell anyone, they won't know that they bought it from you."
"I'm sure you won't be unfair to me at this price, Sister Zhou promises."
It just so happened that Sister Zhou’s brother had a small yard outside the town, which was relatively hidden, so the two of them reached an agreement on the location to pick up the goods.
"Sister Zhou, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll come back in a few days."
"Okay, go slower on your way."
