Chapter 426 Stall

Du Cheng laughed heartily after hearing this:

"Boss Xia, why don't you watch what you're saying? Are you still restricted outside of work? This isn't peacetime. Who can stop others from eating their fill? This is a skill, and it reduces the burden on the base, which is a good thing."

Xia Yan smiled lightly: "What you said makes sense."

It's true that even chickens don't pee, everyone has their own way.

She returned to the nearest high-end restaurant, found a seat and sat down, then prepared to start building a morning and evening market street specifically for customers to set up stalls.

This way, we can add one more line to the promotional video in the future - in addition to eating, Lidai Island also supports all survivors in trading supplies.

Now her mind was fully open. Since everyone was trying to earn more crystal cores, why didn't she go with the flow and charge a small fee?

First of all, this street cannot be too far from the restaurant, it is best to be visible at a glance. In addition, a base store must be added behind the stall to meet the needs of different customers.

After determining the location, she marked the numbers 1-100 on the ground, dividing the entire street into squares of equal area. In the future, whoever wants to set up a stall can go to the rental department to rent a location, and the corresponding number will belong to him, and no one else can occupy it.

Ten meters behind the stall, Xia Yan set up a row of shops. There are always some practical superpowers that need a permanent place to display their products, such as Fu Niang, which can produce fruits, and the flower pots cannot be moved around all day long.

It was still a little chilly in the early morning on Lidai Island. When the wind blew, the old arms and legs were the first to be unable to bear it, so everyone wore long sleeves and long pants, and changed into two-piece clothes when the weather got warmer.

But at this moment, a group of people stopped what they were doing and stared at Xia Yan without blinking. They watched with excitement and disbelief as new houses rose from the ground, with bright floor-to-ceiling windows, white walls, and blank billboards on the top of the exterior walls waiting to be named.

"I always hear you guys say how the hotel has changed so much overnight, and I thought you were just bragging and joking. But now it seems I'm the joke."

"Now you know, Boss Xia has this magical power. He can arrange anything he wants in the blink of an eye."

"There seem to be numbers on the ground. Does anyone know what they mean?"

"...Well, let me make a blind guess. Based on my many years of experience setting up stalls, it feels very much like a rented stall!"

"Boss Xia has finally started managing. I'm going to vomit from all the fighting over positions!"

The chattering sounds quickly spread to all the stalls. On the one hand, they were worried about whether they could afford the monthly rent, but on the other hand, they wanted to have a stall of their own so they wouldn't have to worry about having no space tomorrow.

Since fighting is prohibited on Lidai Island and everyone has to earn a living by setting up stalls, no one wants to miss the precious opportunity, and they all agree that first come, first served.

Some people simply get up early in the middle of the night to grab the best seats, and everyone follows suit. In the end, after dinner, they come here to lie down, and they have to stand guard with one eye open until they are extremely sleepy - to prevent others from moving their things away and forcing them to change seats.

Although they didn't quarrel or make a fuss, they were all holding back their anger and racking their brains to come up with schemes, making their lives miserable.

Now that Boss Xia has taken action, they can finally sleep peacefully.

Qi's father and mother are definitely the happiest people. Their son is very capable. The food he has saved during this period is enough for them to eat for ten years by living frugally!

Now he is following the director of the mulberry base to engage in planting and construction. Who knows, one day he may become a base director himself. Good days are foreseeable. The old couple couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. The more they thought about it, the happier they became.

After the two of them discussed it, they quietly began to think about saving money for their children and their wives.

At the beginning, Qi's parents thought that food was the most important thing. As long as they were not hungry and had enough food, it was their wife's life. When they talked about this with Sang Zhengyi, the other party shook his head and gave a different opinion.

"The crystal core is still the most important. There will be fewer and fewer zombies nearby. If you want to get a crystal core, you can only run far away. Improving your strength is still the most important thing. Only strong abilities can survive."

"But people without food will starve to death..." Qi's mother looked worried.

Sang Zhengyi said with a serious expression, "No one will starve to death anymore. Growing food will soon be on the agenda. It's only a matter of time before everyone is well fed. For now, listen to Xiao Qi and stay in the hotel. Don't leave and don't let him worry."

Mother Qi wanted to say something but was stopped by Father Qi who seemed to be lost in thought.

Now it seems that what Director Sangji said is indeed right, and his vision is indeed far-sighted!

Mother Qi looked at the planned stall area in front. Boss Xia was placing trash cans and benches. It looked quite presentable. She was a little tempted and couldn't help but glance at the old man.

In order to maintain their current positions, the two of them took shifts late at night. Not only did they have to stay alone in bed, they also didn't dare to complain to Qi Hua.

If you rent a stall, you don't have to worry about it...

Qi's father was also a little tempted. He wasn't interested in the stall, but the shop behind it. He couldn't earn much crystal cores from a small business, and he didn't have that much dried goods to sell...

"Go ask about the rent?" Qi's mother whispered.

"Let's go and ask." Qi's father nodded.

Before they could pack up and leave, the stall owners next door, the next next door, and the next next next door grabbed the items they had just put in a woven bag, pinched the bag with their hands, threw it on their backs, and strode towards Xia Yan.

"Hurry up, someone has gone there, let's go ask them too."

"Don't put the table away. You might need it again later. Don't let anyone take your seat."

"Go ahead and ask. I'll be watching the stall. Customers are coming soon, so let's sell more now."

Noisy sounds rang out at the same time, just like the scene when the stalls were about to close at night.

Qi's mother originally wanted to say that she would stay and watch the stall, but in the blink of an eye she found that the old man was carrying the things on his shoulders at an unprecedented speed.

"Don't just stand there, follow me."

"oh oh!"

The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded behind him, gradually approaching. Xia Yan placed the last trash can, clapped his hands and turned around.

Curious eyes looking around fell on her one after another.

Xia Yan glanced over their shoulders and asked with his eyes what was the matter.

Du Cheng, who was standing at the front, was the first to speak: "Is this street going to be rented out?"

Xia Yan: "Yes."

He then asked, "Is it for renting out as a stall?"

Xia Yan nodded again.

Jin Feng, standing by, couldn't stand his endless nonsense and missing the point, so she elbowed him and asked, "Boss, how much is the monthly rent? Could you give me some details?"

Everyone was shocked, their ears perked up, and they looked at Xia Yan intently.

Xia Yan was embarrassed. She had just finished the construction and to be honest, she hadn't decided on the rent yet.

She didn't answer directly, but instead asked how many points everyone could earn in a day.
