Full-level boss, she is rolling in interstellar wealth

Chapter 3 I Can Only Live By Selling Scrap

After finishing the delicious barbecue, Wen Jiu put away the utensils again.After cleaning herself up, she put on her bag and went out.

The garbage area where she lives is a few hours' walk from the nearest urban area, but Wen Jiu has been there a few times before, and she doesn't feel too tired, it's just like exercising.

It was almost noon when Wen Jiu saw the edge of the city.

She walked into a scrap yard on the outskirts of the city with ease, and called out in a sweet voice: "Grandma Zhao!"

However, after entering the scrap yard, she didn't see the old lady she was familiar with. Only a tall, thin young man put down the goods and glanced at her.

"Grandma Zhao is out, are you here to sell things?" Wang Nan squinted his eyes and looked at the thin Wen Jiu.

Hearing this, Wen Jiu just nodded his head without making a sound, and slowly dragged his pocket towards the storage table.Without waiting for Wang Nan's help, she threw the pocket on the table neatly.

"Tsk, the quality of these things is average." Wang Nan went to the table, put on gloves, fiddled with the things in the bag a few times, and then smacked his lips: "Up to eighty star coins."

When Wang Nan checked the items, Wen Jiu also observed him secretly.As the saying goes, faces are born from the heart, even if he pretends to be kind, he can still see the truth from his face.

This person has thin lips and narrow chin, and he has a serious interest in interests.But the cheekbones are not high, but he is still a person who can make friends.

There is a simple iron plate on the chest of his coarse clothes, engraved with [Grandma Zhao's Resource Recycling Station], it seems that it should be a helper recruited by Granny Zhao.

"One hundred." Since it wasn't Granny Zhao herself, Wen Jiu didn't mean to be polite, and directly stated the estimated price in his heart.

She has sold scraps here several times in the past half month, and the recycling price of these things is still quite high.

Wang Nan did not expect that the price quoted by the seemingly docile and ignorant child in front of him happened to be the highest recycling price of these items.

But he was a businessman after all, and he didn't want to just go along with her, so he could cut a little bit.

So Wang Nan took out a few things from the bag, and said in a friendly tone: "Little sister, the price I gave you is definitely the most fair."

"Look at the tail of your red gold screw, which has a lot of wear and tear. There are also too many scratches on this printed circuit board."

"Brother also paid you ten star coins because you were young. If you sell it elsewhere, they will give you seventy at most!"

But Wen Jiu didn't accept his offer, and insisted on his offer expressionlessly, "One hundred."

Wang Nan's grinning smile instantly froze a lot, he sighed and said again, "Well, let's see, Ninety."

Wen Jiu didn't bargain with him any more. She stuffed the items on the table back into her pockets in silence, then dragged her pockets and walked towards the door without looking back.

This made Wang Nan stunned. He thought the kid would have to have a few more rounds with him, so he left without saying a word.

There are not many people who come to sell scraps recently, and the business they got can't run away like this.

Seeing that Wen Jiu was about to walk out of the gate, Wang Nan gritted his teeth and shouted: "95!"

Seeing that she still didn't look back, and even walked faster and faster, Wang Nan was completely at a loss, and yelled one last time through gritted teeth.

"One hundred! Just one hundred!"

After hearing his offer, Wen Jiu turned around.Different from the indifferent expression just now, she walked towards Wang Nan with crooked eyebrows.

After seeing her smiling face clearly, Wang Nan, who was already hurt by the failure of bargaining, became even more depressed at this time.

However, Wen Jiu just walked up to him and stretched out his small hand, waiting for him to pay.

"Alas." Wang Nan clenched her back molars, took out a hundred star coins from her pocket and slowly handed them to Wen Jiu.

"Thank you brother." Wen Jiu took the star coin that Wang Nan was holding tightly in his hand, and pocketed it.

In this era, banknotes are rarely used, and payments are made through transfers through the Starnet, that is, poor people like them who cannot afford smart rings and cannot use the Starnet are still using banknotes for transactions.

Wen Jiu collected the money and emptied the contents of her pockets. The money was in hand and she was about to leave when Wang Nan suddenly stopped her.

"Little sister, can you sell that rope?"

Wang Nan stared at Wen Jiu with glowing eyes, and his eyes stopped on the bundle of ropes at her waist.

Seeing his expression, Wen Jiu suddenly understood.It seems that the price of this rope is probably not low, otherwise this iron rooster would not have asked so actively.

So Wen Jiu took off the rope and held it in his hand. After thinking for a moment, he smiled sweetly and said, "Sell it, I picked this up too."

Hearing Wen Jiu say that he picked it up, Wang Nan immediately made up his mind, and said in a blink of an eye, "Your rope should be an imitation, not very valuable."

"Is that so, big brother?" Wen Jiu pouted and scratched his hair like an innocent child, "How much can you sell for?"

Wang Nan suppressed his excitement and took two steps pretending not to care, "It's only four hundred stars."

In order to prevent Wen Jiu from becoming suspicious, he specially added a few words.

"Brother is also thinking that the winter season is coming soon. It's pitiful for you at such a young age. I want you to buy more things to keep out the cold, so I set this price."

"Like this kind of imitation, in fact, we usually don't collect much."

After finishing speaking, he secretly glanced at Wen Jiu who was thinking with his head down, and waited patiently.

He opened [-] star coins, this kid doesn't know how long it will take to pick up garbage to earn this amount.

Unexpectedly, Wen Jiu raised his head suddenly, smiled at him and said, "In that case, I won't trouble you."

She quickly tied the rope back around her waist, and ran out of the gate in one swift motion.

Only Wang Nan was left in a daze.

Wen Jiu stopped after running for a while, and thought about Wang Nan's words for a while.Seeing that he wanted this rope so eagerly, the price might be more than four hundred. She had to go to a few scrap yards to find out the right price.

Thinking of this, Wen Jiu walked towards another scrap yard she knew.But before she took a few steps, she saw an old woman with gray hair tremblingly walking towards her.

"Grandma Zhao!" Wen Jiu recognized Granny Zhao at a glance, and ran to her side with a smile.

Auntie Zhao watched Wen Jiu come running, coughed twice and smiled kindly, "Oh, good girl. I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I didn't come here because I didn't get anything recently." Wen Jiu took the initiative to take the bag that Granny Zhao was carrying, and helped Granny Zhao walk forward slowly, "I came to you as soon as I got the goods."

Wen Jiu has always been eloquent, as long as she wants to chat, there is nothing she can't talk about.

However, when she supported Granny Zhao, she checked the other's pulse, and immediately realized that Granny Zhao must have a cold and cough.

So Wen Jiu continued: "Grandma Zhao, what were you doing just now? I didn't see you when I went to the scrap yard just now."

Granny Zhao replied with a smile: "Oh, I went out to see a doctor. Recently, I have a little cough."

Wen Jiu knew it by heart, Granny Zhao often gave her high prices when she came to sell scraps, and took good care of her.

So Wen Jiu thought for a while and said, "Well, I heard people say that drinking more ginger juice can relieve coughs."

After hearing this, Grandma Zhao was a little confused, but the feeling of cough came to her heart again, she could only cough violently for a while before asking in a weak voice: "What is ginger?"

Only then did Wen Jiu realize that there didn't seem to be many ancient Chinese plants in this world, and even if there were, many scientific names were different from what she knew.

So Wen Jiu took out a piece of ginger from his pocket, "This is it, just mash it, boil it with water, remove the dregs and drink the soup."

In fact, it is best for Grandma Zhao to drink more ginger and apricot soup for her symptoms, but Wen Jiu wonders if there are almonds and licorice in this world.

Granny Zhao took a look at the ginger that Wen Jiu handed over, "Good girl, is this what you are talking about? We all call this horseradish, it tastes very spicy."

Wen Jiu nodded, "This is it, grandma, you can try it."

After finishing speaking, she stuffed the remaining ginger into Granny Zhao's pocket.

Granny Zhao also didn't want to disappoint Wen Jiu's kindness, so after thanking her, she began to greet Wen Jiu again.

Until walking back to the scrap yard.
