Chapter 9: Vending Machines
I saw that the wooden box was filled with strings of copper plates, and on top of them were several pieces of silver.
A string of copper plates is a hundred Wen, and there are clearly dozens of strings in the wooden box! The amount of silver varies from one piece, but when added to one piece, there must be more than ten or twenty taels.
Xia Qi was only two years before he was admitted to the show, and he also taught in the town for two years, and his salary alone had to be twenty taels, not to mention others.
Although Xia Dashan said that he did some small business, he could make small profits but quick turnover, and he could earn more than one or two when the business was good every month, and he could earn a few hundred wen when the business was bad.
Therefore, their three rooms are really profitable.
The money for the second room is not much, anyway, it is far from the pair of gold bracelets, but as soon as the box in the third room is handed over, Zhang Meihua's face is a little darker.
Her chest was uncomfortable, and she turned her head slightly to see that her husband was still looking down and didn't know what to look at.
Don't think he's contemplating and introspecting, the two have been married for decades, can Zhang Meihua still know what kind of person Xia Dahai is? At this time, I am either thinking about the content of the book, or I am full of food and sleepy!
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, Zhang Meihua didn't think about it and shouted: "Mother, I see that those books at home are also cumbersome, so I just sell them!" ”
As soon as these words came out, two voices sounded together:
"No way!"
"Can't sell my books!"
Mrs. Feng and Da'er glanced at each other, and slowly withdrew their gaze: "Books are much more valuable than silver coins, and they are not allowed to be sold unless they have to." Okay, I'll take the money first, you guys pack up and rest, you have to leave before dawn tomorrow morning! ”
Each room was about to leave with various thoughts, and suddenly Wu Xiaorong asked out loud: "Grandmother, since Xiaohuai is back, is she also going to hand over to her father?" ”
Now they were not in a hurry to leave, and a few eyes quickly moved to her.
Wu Xiaorong pinched the handkerchief and said stubbornly: "My cousin's salary has been handed over, and it stands to reason that Xiaohuai has to be handed over as well..."
"Shut up!" Zhang Meihua was already in a bad mood, and at this time, she couldn't wait to tear the mouth of her second daughter-in-law!
"Old family, although there is no division in the family, but I can't take care of my own small family, there are some rules, I should talk about what I said below." Mrs. Feng didn't look at Zhang Meihua, stared at Wu Xiaorong and turned away after saying coldly.
Wu Xiaorong's heart was pounding, and her face was ashamed and ashamed.
Her husband Xia Qiao couldn't help but mutter: "The woman's family is just a lot of trouble!" ”
Hearing this, Wu Xiaorong's heart became even colder.
When Wu Xiaorong was taught a lesson by Zhang Meihua, Li Fangcai said to Xia Yu beside her: "Let's go and prepare some straw first, and we will sleep on the ground later." ”
If the house collapses, it is natural that you can't live in it anymore, not to mention the uncertainty of whether the earth movement will still occur. It's safer to sleep in a hospital.
"Hmph, this Wu Xiaorong, she really has nothing to do, she stares at some broken things all day and starts to be a demon!" Zhou Huiniang couldn't help but take a sip, and turned around to comfort her daughter: "Don't be afraid, Huai'er, the money on your body is your own, and no one wants to take it!" ”
Xia Huai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it wasn't that she was careful. She is a married girl, and now she is lonely as a widow with a baby, if she no longer has the money on her body, how can she survive?
Do you count on your mother's family? But the family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and maybe she will be able to stay by her side for a while, but what about after that? What if there is no food at home one day? Will it drive her away? Will she be sold?
Don't think she thinks too much, she has just entered ancient times, she doesn't understand a lot, she is in a foreign land, or even a different world, she can't help but think about it all.
As long as she has money in her hand, she can always live with the baby.
No, she has space! Xia Huai couldn't help but pat her head, and when she saw Zhou Huiniang looking at her suspiciously, she hurriedly made up for it: "I, I'm a little sleepy..."
Zhou Huiniang suddenly looked down at her grandson who couldn't help but doze off, and said with some guilt: "Look at me stupid, go, my mother will make your bed to sleep!" ”
There is no bed, only straw as a cover, and the sky as a quilt.
Xia Huai was not asleep, she was holding her soft and cute son in her arms, but her consciousness entered her grandmother's small manor.
What came into view was the painting that I didn't have time to explore, and this time Xia Huai took a closer look at it.
The painting is very complicated, a piece of paper the size of a window is full of drawings, without the slightest gap. After taking a closer look, Xia Huai finally saw what was strange.
The painting seems to be divided into many small parts, but each small part is strangely connected together.
One of them was in the scorching sun, but the people under the sky were dressed so thick that even their heads and faces were wrapped. The other is that it seems to be snowing heavily, and there is no one on the snowy ground, but there are many holes underground.
After looking at several in a row, Xia Huai didn't see the reason, she didn't think about it, she directly moved the painting to the side, revealing a shallow button trace.
Xia Huai stared at the button for a while, gritted his teeth and pressed it.
She believes that her grandmother will not pit her.
Without a sound, the wall in front of her suddenly sagged down like a door, revealing the scene inside.
Xia Huai looked inside, shocked and speechless for a while. It took a long time to close his mouth wide open, take a deep breath and step in.
Originally, she thought that there were gold, silver, jewelry, or martial arts cheats or something like that, but after thinking about it, she couldn't imagine that it was a vending machine inside!
Yes, and a vending machine that doesn't see anything.
This is Xia Huai's conclusion after fiddling for a while, a huge, vending machine-like box, with three big characters written irresponsibly on it - exchange office.
There is a very modern screen above the chest, which is black at this point. There is a square exit below, and three small words are engraved on it - the shipping port.
Normally, vending machines require coin, paper money or electronic payment, but she looked at it for a while, but she couldn't find a place to pay, and finally she could only move her eyes to the ordinary and slightly weird screen.
It's weird, mainly because the vending machine-like thing is made of stone, which looks quaint with a hint of mystery and mystery with a hint of cheapness.
Xia Huai stretched out his hand, and the screen immediately lit up, and a line of words began to float on it:
"Opinion points exchange office, you can exchange friendship points for physical and non-physical goods."
Just such a line of words, but Xia Huai pondered for a long time.
"Physical vs. non-physical?" Xia Huai subconsciously looked at the two eye-catching signs, and clicked on the word 'real thing' without passing his brain.
Soon the screen page jumps, and the new page shows a flow chart, which is divided into four categories, mainly food area, medicine area, daily use area and clothing area.
"A carton of eggs costs 15 favorability, a bottle of drink costs 3 favorability, and a roast chicken costs 20 favorability..."
