Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 73: Reasonably Priced Recycling Station
"I can buy...the future!"
Sun Li's words were like an alluring red apple, touching Lu Renyi's heart. He had earned this fortune by exchanging two large bags of compressed biscuits for the [Flint Sword], so he knew the importance of a good weapon very well!
Seeing that Lu Renyi was tempted, Sun Li added fuel to the fire: " Is 150 yuan expensive? Not expensive! You can exchange it with some resources. It's only 150 kilograms of food at most! If you have compressed biscuits or dried meat, canned fruit, canned meat, etc., you can raise the price a little bit. Turn left when you go out and you will see the recycling station. You can go there to sell some money first, and then come to me to buy weapons!"
"Uh...but..."
"No buts! Think about your future. Would you care about 150 yuan?"
"I……"
"Don't be so meh. A man should be decisive . Oh, and if you have extra food, you can exchange it for more money. The things in the armor shop next door are even better!"
Lu Renyi and the other two were lured by Sun Li into the "Recycling Station" in a daze. There was also a store here. There were only two clerks inside, both of whom were extraordinary people. The manager was also a beauty, the kind of mature and royal sister that Lao Qi liked very much. Her pair of White Rabbit milk candies were very eye-catching. "Sister...sister, we want to sell...sell something." Lao Qi stuttered a little. He would stutter whenever he saw a woman he liked, and the bigger the White Rabbit milk candy, the more he would stutter. Ninth Sister looked at Lao Qi with disgust and asked, "Why don't you stutter when you talk ?"
Li Jie's face was full of smiles: "What do you want to sell? We have a lot of things here, brother, and the price is very fair!"
Another beautiful salesperson also said: "Food, electrical appliances, materials, and electronic products are all OK!"
Lu Renyi's heart moved, "Electronic products? I have an iPad tablet, would you like to take it? It's probably new!"
"Collect it!"
"How much can you give? I saw that it's the latest high-end model that was put on the shelves before the end of the world!"
"If there is no obvious damage to the appearance, I can give you 15 yuan." Li Jie was obviously prepared and blurted out the price.
Lao Qi was surprised and said, "Is this thing so valuable? It's enough to exchange for a crystal core and 5 kilograms of food!"
Lu Renyi glared at Lao Qi and said, "I think the price is a bit too cheap. You know, this thing will no longer be produced in the future. If one is broken, there will be one less. Besides, my latest model is very fast and has high configuration. It will be fine to use it for 5 or 6 years. If you are lucky, you may even be able to use it until the end of the world!"
Li Jie raised her eyebrows. This guy is an expert, but she was prepared. "Hey, brother, our prices are clearly marked. We set the prices in advance. In this world, what is not out of print? The toilets in the public toilets in front are out of print. If one is broken, there will be one less. It mainly depends on the value. This thing is only useful in our No. 1 home. If you take it to other bases, you may not even have a place to charge it. 15 yuan is really a lot!"
Ninth sister nodded: "Brother Yi, I think what she said makes sense!"
"Stop talking, both of you!"
Lu Renyi glared at him twice. He was bargaining in front, and his two stupid teammates were stabbing him in the back.
After being backstabbed twice, Lu Renyi still failed to negotiate a higher price. So, after asking about the recycling prices of various materials, he left with two teammates. "Actually... the price is really fair. At least it didn't exploit us," said Lu Renyi.
"What I said inside was quite reasonable, and you glared at me!" Lao Qi was dissatisfied and looked angry.
"How can it be the same? Bargaining is a process. If you just accept the price, you won't be able to find out their bottom line, right?"
"Oh..." The seventh and ninth sister felt aggrieved.
"But they usually don't bargain here, they just give a fixed price. Um... Let's go! Go get something to exchange. I want to buy that sword!"
"I want to buy one too! I'll take a box of Tangdaren instant noodles and see how much you can offer me." Lao Qi also felt that the flint sword in his hand was no longer attractive.
"Me! I also want to sell some things. There is an equipment store next to it. I want to buy armor!" Little stars lit up in the ninth sister's eyes.
The three of them went back to their own nests to get the goods. This kind of scene is the same for most people after they come to the "recycling station". The price is fair, and there are a lot of types of goods purchased. Basically, anything useful will be recycled. Who doesn't have a few broken mobile phones picked up outside? As long as it is a smart phone that can be turned on, it can be exchanged for 1 home currency, which is a day's ration!
Why not change?
"Change the fuck!"
In the grocery store, several young men were looking at a piece of pork hanging on the wall, their mouths watering. 15 Homeland Coins could be exchanged for one pound of pork, which was 15 times the price of grain, but people were still rushing to buy it. "I came here first, give me a pound first! I haven't tasted meat for several months! Second brother, use the remaining 5 coins to buy 5 pounds of rice. We'll have rice and braised pork for lunch and enjoy it to our heart's content!"
"Okay, brother, you must ask him to cut a pound of pork first! I also hid a can of beer, I'll share one with you at noon!"
"Fuck you, you're hiding beer from your own brother? I want a glass and a half!"
"OK!"
The two brothers received a total of 20 yuan of homeland currency, which they were going to squander on a meal. "Tsk tsk! They are willing to spend 15 yuan to eat a piece of pork. It's really too extravagant. Food... We have to save some, otherwise what will we do when the landlord has no surplus food? I think these two young people don't know themselves just because they have a little money! Typical nouveau riche mentality!" said an elderly man.
He was carrying 5 kilograms of rice and 5 kilograms of flour, which clearly showed that he was a conservative.
"Uncle, your food can only last for 20 days at most. I heard that there will be no free relief porridge in the base in the future. You should not worry about how others spend their money. They are two young men with the strength to earn home currency. What kind of job can you find at your age?"
"What? The relief porridge is gone? How can this be! This... this is bullying! I'm going to ask the person in charge about this. This is how the country treats law-abiding citizens!"
When the old man heard that there would be no relief porridge, his mouth trembled with anger. He was lucky to be alive until now. Before the end of the world, his family had stored a lot of food and dried bacon. His son was afraid that he would go out, so he filled five gas tanks for him and also kept a lot of bottled water at home.
The old man lived alone and always saved on food. He survived until Shen Jin fled to City D and then fought back to City Q. He then formed a super team to rescue City Q and brought him back.
He didn't dare to fight the zombies, and could only survive by listening to the radio and eating. After coming to Home No. 1, although he still had some food left, he had never been willing to eat it. He drank relief porridge every day. Now when he heard that there was no relief porridge, he was afraid of his life!
There are quite a few people like this. Many of them have come this far, relying either on their extraordinary brains and strong physiques, or... good luck!
Just like some people before the end of the world, you think he has no ability, but he has climbed higher than you, earns more than you, and is happier than you. You ask him why he can reach his current position, and he hesitates and can't explain it clearly. After summarizing his experience, you will find that it can be summed up in three words:
Caught up!
"Let's go! Let's go to the villa to protest. We can't cancel the relief food! The government has an obligation to manage us! We must defend our legal rights!"
"In broad daylight, in open court, we must seek justice!"
"Walk!"
