After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life
Chapter 14: Sign in at the Scrap Station
After sending the letter and walking out of the post office, Shen Xiaoxia wanted to go to the scrap yard. It was the place where many protagonists of period novels shopped for treasures, and Shen Xiaoxia also wanted to go and see it!
When they arrived at the scrap yard, they saw an old man sitting at the door. The old man looked at Shen Xiaoxia and asked her what she was doing there.
"Uncle, I want to buy some old newspapers to paste on the wall." After hearing this, the uncle didn't say much, waved his hand, and let Shen Xiaoxia go in.
Shen Xiaoxia went in to take a look and was a little disappointed. Not only did she not find any gold or silver jewelry, gold and jade bracelets or antiques, she didn't even see any decent furniture. There were only some tattered things.
Come to think of it, any furniture or items that are still usable would not be thrown at a scrap yard waiting to be picked up in this era of material scarcity.
Not to mention the gatekeeper's eyesight, this place must have been rummaged through many times by many people, and there must be nothing good left.
Thinking that she hadn't signed in yet for today, Shen Xiaoxia wanted to try her luck here.
【System, Sign in】
[Successful sign-in. Congratulations to the host for receiving 10 small yellow croakers, a pair of imperial green jade bracelets, an emerald necklace, a pair of golden phoenix hairpins, a pair of golden bracelets, and a pair of dragon and phoenix jade pendants!]
Starting from the small yellow croaker, every time the system broadcasts it, fireworks explode in Shen Xiaoxia’s brain!
In the end, Shen Xiaoxia was so excited that she almost screamed, but when she thought of where she was now, she tried her best to hold it back.
I held it back so hard that my eyes were filled with tears and my face was red!
After taking a deep breath, Shen Xiaoxia pinched her thigh hard again, trying to keep herself calm.
Oh my god, the system is too generous today!
Usually it's just cash, daily necessities and so on, but today's stuff is enough to buy several houses. Is she one step closer to a life of idleness?
Afraid that staying too long would arouse the old man's suspicion, Shen Xiaoxia calmed herself down a little, calmed her still pounding heart, picked up a stack of newspapers on the ground, and went out.
When they arrived at the door, the old man looked at what Shen Xiaoxia was holding in her hand, took a dime, and let Shen Xiaoxia leave.
After walking out of the scrap station for a long time and finding an empty corner, Shen Xiaoxia checked the things she had just signed in again.
It was confirmed that the things were real. Shen Xiaoxia's heart, which had just calmed down a little, now beat out of rhythm again.
She was so excited that if the system had a physical body, she would kiss it till its skin was bald.
She was very disappointed when she saw the things at the scrap yard before, so don’t be too satisfied now!
I originally wanted to go shopping in the department store, but now I don’t feel like it. It took me a while to calm down. I took out the watch from my pocket and looked at the time. It was almost noon.
Shen Xiaoxia doesn't usually wear a watch on her wrist. She puts it under her pillow or in her pocket to check the time. Wearing it on her wrist is too eye-catching.
Watches are luxury goods in this era. In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, it is better for people to be low-key.
Shen Xiaoxia was a little hungry at this time, so she went to a state-owned restaurant and ordered a bowl of shredded pork and vegetable noodles at noon.
After eating, Shen Xiaoxia went to the window to pack ten big meat buns. The chef's cooking skills were impeccable. Shen Xiaoxia planned to have these ten big meat buns as a snack when she was hungry when she got home.
In a deserted place, Shen Xiaoxia took out ten kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of flour, and twenty eggs from the space and put them in a backpack. She then carried the backpack to the agreed location of the ox cart.
When we arrived at the place where we had agreed to wait for the ox cart, the driver was there, but the others had not returned yet.
Shen Xiaoxia walked over and asked, "Uncle Li, have you had lunch?"
The uncle driving the cart is surnamed Li, and everyone usually calls him Uncle Li.
"I ate some dry food and biscuits I brought from home to fill my stomach. I'll eat some more when I get home," the old man said to Shen Xiaoxia with a smile.
The elderly of this era are used to being frugal. Some of them don’t even know which way the door of a state-owned restaurant faces, let alone spending money to eat in it.
Shen Xiaoxia thought about it, and took advantage of the cover of the backpack to take out two cornmeal pancakes from the space. These were the ones she had made before and had not finished eating, so she put them into the space. Although they were cold, they were still edible, which was better than going hungry.
She handed it to the old man and said, "Uncle, this was originally prepared for me to eat, but I have eaten other things and can't eat anymore, so I'll give it to you."
Uncle Li saw the pancakes handed over by Shen Xiaoxia and waved his hands to refuse, "No, no, Xiao Shen, I'm not hungry, you can keep them and eat them yourself when you get home!"
From this morning till now, I have only eaten some dry food that I brought from home. How can I not be hungry?
Knowing that Uncle Li was embarrassed to eat, Shen Xiaoxia took a step forward and stuffed the pancake into Uncle Li's hand, "Uncle, please eat it. If you feel embarrassed, you can let me pick some vegetables from your vegetable garden when we get back."
Shen Xiaoxia had to persuade the old man to take the pancake.
"Thank you very much, little educated youth Shen. What kind of vegetables do you like to eat? I will ask your aunt to pick them and send them to you when the time comes," the uncle looked at Shen Xiaoxia very embarrassedly.
"That's great, thank you in advance, sir. Please eat first."
Shen Xiaoxia put the backpack on the ox cart and climbed onto it, ready to rest for a while.
After a while, everyone who had returned to the village by ox cart came back one after another, and He Tingyuan came back with Xie Yunheng.
The two of them didn't carry anything when they went out. Now Xie Yunheng was carrying a large backpack with the things inside covered. I don't know what he bought, but it looked like he bought a lot of things.
Han Zhuxin was the last one to come back. Seeing that she was in a good mood, she must have gained something in the morning.
Han Zhuxin did gain a lot today. During this period of time, she made two spring and autumn dresses, a windbreaker, and knitted a half-high collar sweater.
Sold a dress and a trench coat today!
The cloth and wool were all exchanged with others because of her work before she went to the countryside.
It was a coincidence that Han Zhuxin just wanted to go to the department store today to check out the situation. If she could sell it, that would be great. If not, there would be no loss and she could look for another opportunity later.
She put on some makeup and changed her facial features, looking like a woman in her twenties. She walked around the department store several times and listened to many people's prices when they bought things.
When I was about to leave, I happened to meet an older woman with a girl standing next to her. She was holding the salesgirl's hand and talking to her.
"Tiantian, your sister Yiyi is going to see a man these days. I heard that his family is an official and the conditions are very good. If she likes him, your sister Yiyi will not have to worry about the rest of her life. Now I want to buy two nice clothes for you. Can you help your sister think of a way..."
The girl named Tiantian also said anxiously, "Auntie San, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that the clothes you mentioned were sold out as soon as they arrived! Now they are gone. I'm just a salesperson, and I can't get them back if the clothes are gone."
Han Zhuxin listened for a while and understood the general situation. Judging from their clothes, they didn't look like people who were short of money. She thought, this is just a coincidence, it was effortless!
