Chapter 191 Everyone Gives Gifts for Moving Into a New House (Asking for Monthly Tickets)
"Jingshu has this ability, don't underestimate her anymore."
Jingshu counted along the way, there are 30 seats in one row, and 60 seats in two rows. The people sitting in the two rows are also very obvious. One row is like the normal nobles before the end of the world, dressed properly and formally, and the other row is basically dressed in mixed clothes and all bald.
In the second year of the end of the world, to see how a person's family conditions are, you can see whether he is bald. Generally, people who are particular and capable are not allowed to live in places with red nematodes, so naturally they will not be bald.
So one row is bald, and the other row has hairstyles.
At one o'clock, the tables at the banquet were basically full of people, and Su Mali also announced:
"I am very happy that everyone can come at my invitation. Now I announce the official start of the housewarming and the first Su Mali auction! Please start our auction exchange meeting while eating."
The scene became quiet, and the background music changed.
Su Mali continued, "Now let me talk about the rules. We don't follow the traditional rules, but set the price according to the needs of the auctioneer. There can be a minimum price for the item, and you can directly bid how much virtual currency you want to exchange, or you can directly say what you want to exchange."
"And because the current currency system is still under testing, only a few government officials have the currency exchange function, so I invited Ayu, an internal government official, to be responsible for trading virtual currency for everyone."
Ayu, a handsome man who Jingshu had met once today, stood up and bowed to everyone, "Miss Mary, have you finished talking about the rules? I have a few words to say."
Su Mali signaled Ayu to speak, and saw him take out a gift box from his feet:
"Today is also Miss Mary's housewarming celebration. I just brought a gift. I hope she likes it. Everyone who has prepared a gift should give it quickly, otherwise it will be stale in a while."
The whole room was filled with kind smiles. In this world, what is the most valuable? Food. But these people's homes basically stored very rich food before the end of the world. It may be precious to ordinary people, but it is very ordinary to them.
What is the most precious? Fresh fruits and live animals are well deserved, and are definitely more scarce than all kinds of storable food.
Ah Yu prepared two fresh ginseng fruits, which were printed in the shape of gourds and surrounded by red grapes, which looked very beautiful.
"I know you like to eat strawberries. Here, this is a bunch of strawberries." It looked like a whole bunch of flowers, filled with fresh strawberries.
Some people also gave candied haws, cherries arranged in various patterns, etc., and the so-called eight immortals crossing the sea showed their magical powers. After a circle of people, basically all the fruits that could be eaten before the end of the world were given away.
What made Jingshu feel the class gap even more was that these people seemed to have discussed it in advance. The most amazing thing was that everyone gave different things!
After a while, Su Mali was filled with all kinds of fresh fruits in front of her, and someone gave her a cute little white goose.
The little white goose is also very valuable, not to mention that it is a mother goose.
The classmates opened their eyes wide and looked at the piles of fresh fruits and food. They couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Look, Su Mali just held a housewarming party and got so many things. It's really enviable.
Wait...
They didn't bring any gifts!
Everyone just wanted to bring a mouth to eat.
The people in the opposite row had finished giving gifts. Although they didn't say, "It's your turn, the people in the opposite row are looking at them one by one, as if to ask: Do you want to give gifts?"
Jingshu sat next to Su Mali very calmly. Anyway, if there were classmates giving gifts, she would give them. If no one gave gifts, she would not take the lead. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to offend the whole class.
Seeing that the situation was deadlocked here, Ayu said, "It seems that it's over. Should we move on to the next step?"
Su Mali pouted her lips. The etiquette she had been taught since she was a child was: to visit someone else's house, especially when moving to a new house, you should bring some small gifts. Even if it's a handkerchief or a pen, it's not about the price but the etiquette.
Jing Shu couldn't help but feel amused when she saw Su Mali's expression. Miss Su Mali was indeed aloof from the mundane world, and didn't understand the hardships of her high school classmates. She had long forgotten the habit of giving gifts for housewarming.
Su Mali's high school classmates were all dumbfounded, but since everyone had given gifts, it would be difficult for them not to give gifts, right? But if they did, they wouldn't be able to show them off.
But at least, a few people prepared gifts.
Xie Zihao prepared a box of nuts. Although it was a storage item, it was also very valuable in the end times.
Yao Zixin prepared a PVC folding rain shelter, which could be opened and closed at any time. It was quite convenient. Su Mali said she liked it very much and finally smiled.
Mu Xiaoxuan prepared a peach seed, which he packed in a small gift box. "Now that there is enough rain, it should be able to grow up next year, but it may take another three years to eat peaches."
"Thank you, I'll plant it in the yard of the villa. I like it very much." Su Mali smiled happily. She cared more about the thought. Although she was naive, she also liked to be rewarded for her efforts.
Jingshu looked at Mu Xiaoxuan. Could it be that her family grew fruits and had all kinds of seeds? She would ask her if she had any rare seeds later. Jingshu went to the seed wholesaler at that time, and she only bought various Chinese medicines and seeds that could be grown for food. She didn't buy other plants. Now that she thought about it, there were also many plants that could play a big role in the end times.
Others also brought out the things they had brought to exchange, some brought vases, some brought gold, and some brought hairpins.
For these... although it was a bit embarrassing, it was still considered a gift. Jingshu saw that the people on the opposite side looked at these high school classmates with a bit of weird eyes.
And some people simply brought mouths... so they could only lower their heads and say nothing.
In this way, it was Jingshu's turn.
First of all, this potted plant cannot be given away, because it contains medicine. If it is given to her, without the nourishment of the spiritual spring, Su Mali can't keep it alive, which is simply a waste.
Jingshu thought for a long time with a headache, what should she give. Let's give fruit. The people on the opposite side gave away almost all the fruits.
Let's give food. People with long shelf life have stockpiled a lot.
She did have poultry, but it was large in size and she couldn't take it out from under her crotch, let alone say: "Hey, wait a minute, my house is next door, I'll go back and get it for you." Wouldn't that be more embarrassing?
I can only send something small, but it has to be acceptable, right?
Jingshu was tossing and turning in the Rubik's Cube space, and suddenly her eyes lit up. She knew what to send.
