118 They're a New Species That You Can Plant Yourself

How much do you want? Five catties of each? The sales assistant's voice unconsciously became higher, and her tone was full of surprise. One catty costs ten contribution points, so ten catties will cost you 100 contribution points. Do you really want that much?

Du Yue nodded. Yes, I want five catties of each. She took out her card from her pocket.

The salesperson saw that she was serious and did not seem to be joking. She turned around and weighed five catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes each. Did you bring a bag? We charge a fee for the cloth bags here. Each one costs one contribution point.

Du Yue was stunned. The cloth bags were really expensive. She reached into the pocket at the bottom of her clothes and took out a folded square bag. I brought it. The bag had been in her interspace all this time. She took it out when she put her hand into her pocket.

In any case, the clothes were thick, and no one could tell what was in her pockets. Du Yue was not lacking in contribution points, but she would never pay for cloth bags! She was buying sweet potatoes and potatoes worth 100 contribution points. How could she buy cloth bags with contribution points too? Absolutely not!

Du Yue put the sweet potatoes and potatoes into her pockets and swiped her card. Swiping the card at the supermarket was the same as how one used to swipe meal cards in schools. Du Yue's contribution points balance was clearly displayed on the card-swiping machine. It was a five-digit number.

When the saleswoman saw the string of numbers, she instantly understood why Du Yue was so extravagant. She was a nouveau riche! It was no wonder that when she was buying potatoes and sweet potatoes, she actually asked for ten catties total without even blinking. Thinking that Du Yue was so rich and she must be a capable person, the saleswoman added, These sweet potatoes and potatoes are a new variety developed by the scientists at the base. They're very cold-resistant. You can try planting them yourself after you go back home.

In fact, when Du Yue first saw the sweet potatoes and potatoes, she had a faint guess. She did not expect the saleswoman to explain it to her. Okay, I'll try it. Thank you. Du Yue kept her card and stood aside with a big bag of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The salesperson found it strange that Du Yue was still not leaving after buying the things she needed. However, before she could ask, she heard a young man say, Give me the exact same things she bought.

The saleswoman's face was filled with question marks. She looked at Du Yue, then at He Xing. Only then did she realize that the two of them knew each other. Sigh, the old saying was indeed true. Birds of a feather flock together. The people around a nouveau riche were also nouveau riche!

This time, the saleswoman did not ask any more questions. She immediately got sweet potatoes and potatoes for He Xing. I didn't bring a bag. Give me a cloth bag, He Xing said.

The sales assistant nodded. Okay.

He Xing looked at the shelf behind her and could only see more sweet potatoes and some common compressed biscuits. Are these the only things in the supermarket? Is there nothing else?

Other things? The saleswoman was a little confused by He Xing's question. What other things?

Forget it. That's all. I'll pay now.

The sales assistant deducted He Xing's contribution points in a daze and only retracted her gaze after He Xing and Du Yue walked away.

The two of them returned to the car. Du Yue asked He Xing, What did you want to buy just now? Why did you give up?

He Xing smiled and shook his head. We bought so many potatoes and sweet potatoes. Our actions are already eye-catching enough. It's not suitable for me to buy anything else in front of so many people.

Du Yue immediately understood what He Xing was implying. It was not appropriate to buy so many things in front of so many people, but it would be fine if they did not do it in front of others. Du Yue was still lost in her thoughts when she saw He Xing making a turn at an intersection and finally stopping outside a large metal gate.

Du Yue took a closer look. Is this the back door of the supermarket?

Yes, if you want to buy more things, you can buy them at the back door. There are fewer people here.

He Xing got out of the car after explaining and knocked on the iron gate. There was a square gap on the gate, just like the window of a bank counter.

Not long after, a staff member wearing a mask came to the window and asked him, What do you want to buy?

I want 50 catties of noodles, 50 catties of rice, four boxes of instant noodles, four boxes of conch powder, two boxes of self-heating instant rice packets, two boxes of self-heating instant hotpot meals Do you have any flour? I want a box if you have it. I want ten catties of pork, ten catties of chicken, 20 catties of fish, and 20 catties of shrimp. What do you want to buy? He Xing asked Du Yue after finishing his list in one breath.

Du Yue waved her hand. I'm not buying anything. The things that she had bought were piled up everywhere in her interspace. She probably would not be able to finish them within ten years.
