Chapter 4 Bracelet Mutations
Back to the small hotel, Xie Shu finished sorting out the supplies he bought today, turned off the lights and clothes and lay down directly after washing, because there were no entertainment products, and the biological clock did not allow Xie Shu to fall asleep now, Xie Shu was bored in every way, so he could only come to a plate of old sandalwood and then think about some miscellaneous trivial things.
It's just that as soon as he touched the bracelet, Xie Shu felt that something was wrong. Now is the so-called spring in Shanghai, after a bumpy day, she has already felt the large temperature difference between day and night mentioned by her aunt before, otherwise she would not go to bed directly with her clothes if she has a habit of cleanliness. As soon as Xie Shu picked up the bracelet, he felt a strong warmth, and it could even be said that a heat wave hit his hand, which was obviously abnormal.
Xie Shu sat up at the same time as he got the bracelet, stretched out his hand to turn on the light in the room, and took advantage of the dim light of the hotel to study the mutation of the old sandalwood.
Before, she was surprised by the arrival of the hand string, guessing what was special about it, and now the abnormal warm current coming from her hand verified Xie Shu's conjecture, maybe her own book has a certain relationship with it.
It's just that Xie Shu looked left and right, except that the bracelet was still hot, it didn't show any weirdness, and it was useless.
Xie Shu turned off the light again and lay down to sleep, thinking that since it might have something to do with this bracelet, he kept taking it out of the house after that, maybe he could trigger some key elements again and go back.
……
The next day, Xie Shu woke up early with his biological clock and bright sunshine. After a simple wash, I was ready to go out, and before leaving, I deliberately put the bracelet into the pocket of my clothes. I looked at the front desk of the small hotel at 7:18 a.m. on Saturday, March 29, and immediately went out. Today's main task is to find a job that can provide food and shelter to solve his pre-apocalyptic food, clothing, housing and transportation, by the way, save a little money to reserve some survival strategic materials, and prepare more, so that he has more hope of surviving in the last days.
Xie Shu first went to a pawn shop, and the boss honestly said that silver South Sea pearls were scarce and willing to give a good price to recycle. Although Xie Shu is short of money, he will not open his mouth with a lion of conscience, thinking of the pearls he bought for more than 5,000 yuan, and calculating the recovery price of more than 4,000 yuan. It's just that Xie Shu said that he would not go through the public procedure and pay in cash.
"Miss Xie, you said that you can't go through the commercial disclosure procedure, this is ...... It's not easy to do, although you can see it without identification, your chain is indeed high-quality goods, but if you don't go through the procedure, there is always less protection. "The boss was a little hesitant when he heard that he didn't go through the procedure.
Xie Shu expressed understanding. "Price reductions are acceptable."
Looking at the good quality and size of this South Sea pearl, the boss is really reluctant to miss it, this necklace is still a design model, three round silver pearls, and then if you disassemble and reorganize the three necklaces, you can make a small amount of money by doubling it.
"Four thousand eight, when I buy the second-hand necklace myself, what does Miss Xie think?"
"Okay." Xie Shu will not get an inch, there is no haggling in the mud and water, and the transaction is completed on the spot to get cash.
In the end, the cash is thick and piercing, Xie Shu divided two small stacks and put them in two pockets, and pulled the zipper of the pockets. I can't afford to rent a house but I can consider buying a tent to survive in a sparsely populated hidden place, not to mention that after the end of the world begins, if Xie Shu can't find a high-rise house that is strong enough to take refuge before then, he will consider going to a high-rise place outdoors to survive on high ground alone, and the tent will definitely be of great use.
……
Walking on the road, Xie Shu met a home-cooked restaurant, Aunt Wang's home-cooked food. The reason I noticed this restaurant was because it posted a handwritten job posting on the door:
[Recruitment of a chef, monthly salary of 5,500 yuan, including food and accommodation, four days off per month, working hours: 10:00 a.m. to 14:30 p.m., 17:00 p.m. to 22:00 p.m.]
Xie Shu is a little excited, he cooks by himself at home on weekdays, he will not treat his stomach badly, his cooking skills are definitely passable, and he can also solve his living needs in a short period of time.
That being the case, Xie Shu walked in with his legs raised and applied for the job. There were only three people in the store, and there was a man wearing an apron between Uncle and Aunt Wang. After a brief conversation, Xie Shu understood the general situation, the store has always been a simple operation of the husband and wife, the son is working outside, and the two opened a small restaurant when they are idle, but the husband and wife are getting older, and their physical strength can't support it, plus the restaurant is affordable and delicious, and the customer flow is large, so they recruited a waiter, that is, the man wearing an apron. His name is Liang Dong, an orphan who is 23 years old and is preparing to graduate and find a job while studying for a work-study senior year. Later, the husband and wife couldn't stand up cooking, they were old and couldn't work for so long, but many of the people who came to eat around were people who were begging for a hard life outside, and the two were kind and reluctant to close the store, so they planned to hire a chef.
Xie Shu didn't reveal too much information about his life, pretending that he was also a work-study student who independently prepared for tuition to study for a doctorate. After some discussion, Xie Shu entered the kitchen and used the existing ingredients in the kitchen to directly make four simple and quick home-cooked dishes. Shredded cabbage, fried radish balls, vinegared shredded pork, shallots and sesame oil mixed with tofu.
After the four dishes were cooked, Xie Shu smelled the taste and was hungry, only she who ate a bowl of instant noodles yesterday, and now she felt unusually fragrant when she smelled the food she cooked.
It was time for breakfast, and the husband and wife directly beckoned Liang Dong and Xie Shu to sit down, and the four of them directly ate these four dishes for breakfast. After eating, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang directly decided to solve Shu, and there is no need for any contract for a small business, looking at Xie Shu's cooking is delicious and highly educated and polite, there is no reason not to hire!
After eating and drinking a full breakfast, by the way, I decided to start going to work next Monday, contact information Xie Shu prevaricated on the grounds that he lost his mobile phone and had no money to buy it for the time being, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang saw that Xie Shu was dressed ordinarily, and he didn't say much. It's just that Xie Shu decided that for the convenience of the future, he needs to temporarily prepare a mobile phone. I also agreed that Xie Shu would move to Aunt Wang's own empty room in the restaurant backstreet community tomorrow, but I had to live with Liang Dong, and the left and right sides were separated from each other, so we could not disturb each other, but we needed to share a door. Although Liang Dong is young and honest on the surface, Xie Shu knows that he can't just look at the surface, but now he has no choice, and he can only rely on himself to pay more attention to safety issues. After agreeing on the work, Xie Shu took his leave.
……
Xie Shu asked two passers-by and turned three streets, and finally found the outdoor goods store.
After picking and choosing in the store, and finally under the various explanations and introductions of the boss, Xie Shu weighed the quality and price, and first bought a thermos water bottle, a tent, a sleeping bag, a 60L large-capacity backpack, a flashlight, a raincoat, adjustable trekking poles and an outdoor watch. Xie Shu knew that these were definitely not enough, but at present, he did not have the conditions or possibility to buy too many things.
Xie Shu was about to take out the cash from his pocket, but found that the cash was gone, really out of thin air! Only his old sandalwood bracelet was left in this side pocket. Because Xie Shu knew that the zipper of his pocket had been tightly closed, it couldn't have been dropped, and he hadn't been in close contact with anyone until he got the money, and the probability of being stolen was also very small. Xie Shu hurriedly checked the other pocket, and saw that the cash inside was safely placed in place, Xie Shu was surprised and delighted, there must be something wrong with the bracelet!
Quickly paid, Xie Shu put his things in his newly bought backpack, put them on his back, and trotted excitedly all the way back to the small hotel.
This could be the hope of relieving Shu to go home!
