Chapter 12 - Exchange for hygiene products

"Captain Zhou."

The two saluted Zhou Qian, and then laughed: "What are your orders?"

Zhou Qian thought for a while and pointed to Huaiyu, who was not far away. "Ask her what she wants to exchange? What to exchange? As long as it's not too much, anything within 200 minutes is fine."

The two were speechless.

What is "not excessive"? There must be a degree.

However, Zhou Qian had already ordered, and one of them walked towards Huaiyu. "Little girl, what do you want to exchange?"

Huaiyu loosened the hem of her clothes: "Mung beans. What can I exchange for?"

In the end, it was a girl who was more delicate than Zhou Qian. The other party looked at her and whispered, "toiletries, glycerin, elastic rope, clothes... you can change them."

"Wow..."

Huaiyu opened her mouth slightly, her eyes glowing. Because of everything the other party said, she needs it so much.

But... with just two handfuls of mung beans, I should only be able to choose one part, right?

She was torn, not knowing how to make a trade-off, so she could only look pitifully at the person in front of her: "Sister, how much mung beans can be exchanged, can you help me refer to it?"

Just at this moment, another female officer also came over: "Hello, can you let me test the mung beans first? If the quality is high enough, the above can basically be exchanged."

Huaiyu was pleasantly surprised!

Although I don't know the quality of mung beans, they look so plump, shouldn't they be too bad?

The other party took out something similar to a thermometer and gently swept the mung bean in the pocket of his clothes:

"Beep -"

The instrument let out a long beep, and the number "9" was displayed on the light green screen.

Zhou Qian also saw it, and was a little disappointed at the moment - it wasn't a "3" like the pine nuts last time.

However, on second thought, "9" was quite good, belonging to the quality of high-quality grain seeds. So he nodded at the female officer, put away the tester, and said with a smile:

"One meter long elastic rope, two soft and hard bristle toothbrushes, and one 400g toothpaste."

"Two towels, one set of average size underwear."

"You can exchange all of these at the same time. You can also replace the items in it with something else. You can talk about your needs first."

Another person smiled and explained, "The mung beans in your hand are about half a catty, the quality is excellent, and the market transaction contribution points are about 20-30."

"After all, as you know, the number one demand these days is high-yield crops, and mung beans are not included. So even though the quality is excellent, the price will be discounted."

Huaiyu didn't reply immediately. Instead, she mused, "So yesterday I exchanged the pine tower for a waterproof tarpaulin, and the captain paid for part of it for me, right?"

"No," Zhou Qian replied quickly, "The quality of the pine nuts you sent is very good, and they are of a higher grade than excellent. But because the yield is not high and the planting period exceeds 20 years, the official contribution score is 50."

It basically takes fifteen to twenty years for Huashan pine to enter the fruiting period. If it is planted directly with seeds, the efficiency is indeed too slow.

Although that was the case, Huaiyu thought to herself, When she handed the seeds out, Captain Zhou directly exchanged the waterproof tarpaulin for her without testing.

So in the beginning, he really paid part of the price difference in advance.

Therefore, she did not ask how many points the officer's sister had asked for. Instead, she lowered her voice and said,

"If I only need one towel, can I exchange the other one for a pack of sanitary napkins?"

The female officer was stunned for a moment, then patted her shoulder: "I forgot, you look thin, but you are actually a big girl - well, I will personally pay for two packs of sanitary napkins and two rolls of toilet paper for you first. Your towel can be exchanged for a bottle of 30 small water purification tablets."

"Will the water purification tablet be used? This is a household type, one tablet can purify three liters of water."

Huaiyu's eyes widened!

She hadn't drunk water these days, and she didn't realize there was such a thing.

But the problem is... she doesn't even have a water container now.

So he raised his head in embarrassment and looked sincere: "Then... do we have any buckets or bottles that we don't want?"

"Or where is the garbage factory in our city? I can also pick it up."

After saying this, the female officer didn't expect it at all -

Is life really so embarrassing? What are you doing six years after the disaster?

She didn't know Huaiyu's zero contribution points, but Huaiyu knew it in her heart. But she didn't feel ashamed. After all, she had to build her own house, and poverty was clearly the oppression of the world.

She is still self-reliant, which is already amazing.

But now urban life has barely started on the right track. After the cataclysm, many things are only distributed by the government, and the resources for these daily necessities are actually quite tight.

The two female officers discussed with Zhou Qian for a while, and finally someone returned to the station, holding a large plastic red bucket in one hand and an empty mineral water bucket in the other:

"Give it!"

"Check, everything is inside. The two buckets are our station's help to you. If there are good seeds in the future, you can continue to exchange them."

Huaiyu accepted gratefully.

Although the world is not good for her, the people she meets are very good to her, satisfied!

She thought for a moment and took out the wheat from her pocket. "Thank you sisters, thank you captain brother, thank you logistics uncle."

"This is the wheat I got, give it to you."

Zhou Qian didn't want to take her things, but there was really only a small handful of wheat in front of him, and the quantity was pitifully small.

Looking at the serious look of the girl in front of him, he paused for a moment, and finally reached out and took it.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but be curious: "You picked up the pine tower next to Rose, but this wheat... it's not like there are ears of wheat there, right?"

Even if there is, this winter wheat is not yet ripe, and last year's spring wheat has passed the winter, how can I still pick it up?

"No."

It was about the abundance of daily necessities, and Huaiyu smiled very contented and well-behaved at the moment:

"I dug out a field rat hole, and there are many in it."

Everyone:...

If they hadn't known that the government had distributed you nutrient solution and protein-supplemented beans, they would have really raised money to give you the whole food.

They are so hungry that they are digging the vole hole, which is too hard!

They have been in the Cataclysm for six years, and their normal life has been forced to be suspended, and their living resources are somewhat scarce... But with the government's support, I have never heard of this shortage.

Looking at her again for a while, he had vaguely put aside the impression of zero contribution points in his heart, and began to pity her instead.

Zhou Qian paused for a moment before saying, "Try harder to accumulate more things. Next time you come, I'll apply to exchange a wild kettle for you."

As for how much he accumulated, he didn't say. Anyway, as long as the other party comes, it's a big deal for him.
