Brains Out Waiting for the Apocalypse, Stockpiling Food with a Space

Lin Yue has been having a recurring dream recently. One scene depicts the global apocalypse arriving on June 15th. The other scene shows her tied up and bound, suspended in a warehouse with over te...

Chapter 53 The daylily is getting cold.

"Sister, what can you and Professor Qin exchange for?" The two elderly people only have useless things in their house.

"Antiques? What, are you jealous of those two old people?" Lin Yue said coldly.

"No, how could I be that kind of person? But sis, if you want to trade antiques, we have plenty. Do you want to trade some?" Antiques are useless now; they can't be eaten, used, or traded.

"Get this done first. Tell me the price." She doesn't like wasting time talking to people these days.

"Doors are priced by the jin (a unit of weight), glass by the square meter, sand by the cubic meter, cement by the bag, and bricks by the piece. You can exchange them for grain or other things." Li Mazi coughed and continued, "If you use grain, good rice is five jin per jin for a door, and inferior rice is eight jin. Glass is thirty jin per square meter of good rice, and forty-five jin per square meter of inferior rice. Sand is eight jin per cubic meter of good rice, and ten jin per square meter of inferior rice. Cement is twenty jin per bag of good rice, and thirty jin per bag of inferior rice. Bricks are cheap, one brick is one liang (a unit of weight) per piece of good rice, and two liang (a unit of weight) per piece of inferior rice."
