"Aunt Jenny, the energy box you picked up can be sold for at least 400 credits, which is comparable to the total amount of scraps you sold in the past few months." Xie Yi couldn't help but step forward and stared at it with Ji You Look at this energy box.
The price of a brand-new level 1 energy box star is 500 online. Grandma Jenny picked this up and sent it to a second-hand recycling store. The shop owner will usually lower the price, probably to 400 credits.
However, Grandma Jenny was already very satisfied. Listening to everyone's envy, she said humbly:
"lucky."
"lucky."
"It's just good luck."
"It's good luck." Ryan, who has always been calm, also said.
Grandma Jenny made a big harvest, which immediately inspired other people, especially Ji You and Uncle Xie Yi. The two of them rummaged through the garbage pile more carefully and carefully, wishing that they would not let go of any garbage, but soon Unfortunately, luck did not come to the two of them tonight. In the end, they only picked up some cheap scraps and sent them all to the scrap recycling station, which were only worth 2 credits.
Lian is strong and has weapons in his hands for self-defense. He can go to farther garbage dumps to search for scraps. Moreover, he has a twenty-cubic space button in his hand that can hold a lot of things, so his harvest is not bad.
After loading a few low-level mecha waste materials into the space button, Ryan said calmly: "It's almost eight o'clock. The peak period of scavenger rat activity is coming soon. Go back."
Hearing Ryan's voice, Ji You, Uncle Xie Yi, and Grandma Jenny didn't dare to linger at all. They all stopped, packed their things, and prepared to go back.
Before leaving, Ji You picked up several fruit cores left by scavenger rats and stuffed them into his bag.
Uncle Xie Yi couldn't help but joked: "Ayou, what are you doing picking up these useless grass seeds?"
This kind of fruit core is the fruit of a wild weed outside the Planet 101 Reserve. The grass seed fruit has a bitter taste. Eating it into the mouth will make the throat numb and itchy, and can also cause vomiting and diarrhea...
However, it will not cause death.
Since the grass seed fruit tastes so unpleasant, even the scavenger rats who have no taboos don't like to eat it. Only when there is really nothing to chew, the scavenger rats will take one or two bites and spit out the core.
This kind of wild weed grows in the wilderness where humans seldom set foot in the reserve. Because it has no value, no one goes out of its way to pick it. If you want to pick up the grass seed fruit, you have to deal with the annoying group of scavenging rats. What about transportation?
However, no one wants this thing, so no one cares.
Jiyou packed up all the grass seed fruits and said with a smile: "I see that these grass seed fruits are round and round, and the inside is crystal clear. They can be turned into beads!"
"Car beads?"
"What's that?"
Xie Yi doesn't quite understand.
Jiyou praised the bracelet on her wrist and said, "This is it."
After seeing it, Xie Yi smiled and said: "You little girls just like these fancy things. They are not practical at all."
After hearing this, Grandma Jenny slightly disagreed and said, "Look at how beautifully Ayou polished these simple grass seed fruits and how beautiful they look when worn. How are they not practical?"
As a middle-aged uncle, Xie Yi couldn't appreciate it at all. He said: "What's the use of looking good? You can't eat it, and you can't sell it for money..."
Ji You quickly explained and said, "I plan to do more and open a small store on Xingwang. What if I'm lucky and sell it?"
Grandma Jenny said: "This is a good idea."
Xie Yi immediately poured cold water on it and said: "This bracelet of yours is only made of grass seeds and fruits that can be found everywhere. It has no other functions or effects, and it cannot nourish spiritual power. I don't think anyone will buy it at all."
In the interstellar age, human beings are all about practicality. Even decoration and embellishment supplies need to be practical. In Xie Yi's view, this grass seed fruit is a waste product. No matter how beautiful Jiyou is carved and polished, it will not be able to use it. Cover up the fact that they are just some worthless grass seed fruits. How could anyone pay for this?
Ji You said: "Hey, I just want to try it. If someone is willing to buy it, that would be great." In her previous life, she was a handicraft enthusiast and had learned some miscellaneous things like rope weaving, bracelets, carving, and bead turning.
After traveling through time, she really couldn't find a way out, so she thought about picking up the skills from her previous life, opening an online store, and selling some handmade works, but she didn't want to be thrown a basin of cold water by Uncle Xie Yi.
But, why don't you give it a try? How do you know it will definitely fail?
Ji You refused to listen and stubbornly stuffed her bag with grass seed fruits. She didn't stop until she couldn't stuff it anymore.
While several people were talking, Ryan remained silent and did not participate in the discussion.
soon-
Led by Xie Yi, with the powerful Ryan at the rear, Ji You and Grandma Jenny in the middle, the four of them started their return journey.
This time, nothing serious happened, and we returned to the reserve without incident. As soon as they entered the protective barrier, several people breathed a sigh of relief. Ryan was the first to go back to his house.
Grandma Jenny immediately called him and said, "Lian, wait a moment."
Lian paused and turned around.
Grandma Jenny looked at him with a kind face and said with a smile: "Ryan, thank you for being willing to take care of a grandma of my age. Otherwise, how could I have such a good harvest? The baked apple pie I made tastes very good. Today I've already baked a whole plate, just wait, I'll get you some."
Lian shook his head and said: "Thank you, but no need."
After saying that, he lifted up his feet and walked away.
Grandma Jenny watched him walking further and further away, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Oh! Why are you so disobedient, kid?"
With that said, Grandma Jenny turned around, looked at Jiyou and Xie Yi, and said, "Ayi, Ayou, wait a moment, I will get you two apple pies."
Ji You knows that Grandma Jenny's granddaughter Leah will come back from school tomorrow, so she bakes several apple pies every week just for Leah. Ji You is very poor, but she is alone. She has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. Grandma Jenny's life is also very poor. Besides, she is an old woman and has to raise Lia.
Ji You shook his head and said, "Grandma Jenny, no need. I still have dozens of nutritional supplements at home. I'm going back first."
Speaking, regardless of Grandma Jenny's dissuasion, she hurried back to her home.
Next door, Xie Yi did the same, rejecting Aunt Jenny's kindness and returned home.
Looking at the neighbors, Grandma Jenny clasped her hands together and recited a word of gratitude, but she felt funny and grateful at the same time.
This way.
As soon as Ji You returned to her single-family house, she collapsed from exhaustion. She stroked her withered belly and thought about what she said when she refused Grandma Jenny's kindness, "I still have a few hoards at home." Ten nutritional supplements? She wanted to cry like a storm.
How about dozens of them?
How about dozens of them?
How about dozens of them?
But—they are all in dreams.
She wants it too.
