I'm a Landlady in the Apocalypse

Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...

Volume 1_Chapter 81 Only Taoyang people don't have to worry about having no food to eat

The Shouan Base Guesthouse not only has no air conditioning, but also no water supply.

There is not even a separate bathroom, so you have to go to the first floor to use it.

Su Tao heard the Dongyang friends who came to check in one after another complaining in the room:

"Why does it stink everywhere? It's stuffy and smelly, especially the first floor."

"I suggest you don't go to public restrooms, it will become unfortunate."

"How long has it been since the sheets in the room were washed? They're not even as clean as the soles of my shoes."

After a while, we heard the logistics team leader calling everyone back to the convoy to fetch water, saying that there was not a drop of water in the Shouan Guesthouse.

Su Tao had a bad feeling, but considering that she really needed to go to the bathroom, she went to the first floor.

As soon as she pushed open the door of the public restroom on the first floor, she quickly covered her nose and took two steps back.

Hot weather plus fermented excrement.

There is also an unknown semi-solid substance on the ground.

Guan Zining, who came later, also frowned when she saw this scene. She was used to the clean Taoyang, and when she saw such a dirty toilet, she almost vomited her lunch.

She went to the front desk of the guesthouse and asked them to clean the public toilet.

The front desk clerk said:

"It's such a fuss at this hour. It's good enough that it's not outdoors. Besides, there's a water shortage everywhere right now. There's no point wasting extra water on cleaning."

Su Tao smelled the sweat on her body, and thought about having to stay in this hellish place for three or four days, so she said:

"Find someone to clean the public restroom for us. We'll provide water and give you two 500ml bottles of water as compensation."

The receptionist shuddered: "Really?"

Except for the rich people in the city center, everyone in Shou'an is suffering from a severe water shortage. A 500ml bottle of water can buy a healthy child from a refugee family.

Su Tao took out a bottle of water from her bag and urged her:

"Really? This is a deposit. I'll give you another bottle when you're done."

The receptionist grabbed the water, quickly stuffed it into her bag, and then said to Su Tao in a flattering way:

"Before, there were rumors that Dongyang had no water shortage. I didn't believe it, but now I do. I'll clean it up for you guys right away."

Water can make people work. In less than half an hour, the dirty and messy public toilet was cleaned up. There were no more unsightly things and the stench was almost unbearable. Even the public bathroom was cleaned up.

Although it still cannot compare with Taoyang’s living standards, at least it is a place to stay.

The receptionist got the second bottle of water and was overjoyed. Then he started to complain to Su Tao:

"Has Dongyang been sealed off? When will it be reopened? I can't stand staying in Shou'an any longer. The warlords in Shou'an don't care about the lives of people like us. They've concentrated all the water they have for the wealthy areas, and people outside can only drink their bath water."

"I haven't had much water in the past two days." As she said this, she unscrewed the bottle cap, licked it carefully, and was reluctant to drink more.

The cracked lips continued:

"Recently, zombies with scythes have been coming into the city to kill people and leaving the bodies wherever they want. The streets are stinking everywhere now. It's like hell on earth. Do you have these scythes in Dongyang?"

Su Tao nodded: "Yes, but we have city defense troops stationed outside, and we are also speeding up the construction of higher and stronger city walls, so not many people died."

The receptionist showed an expression of envy and hope, but soon became dejected:

"I'm too late. Dongyang has already been sealed off."

Su Tao listened quietly and said nothing more.

Dongyang's companions also discovered the cleaned toilet at this time. When they asked, they found out that it was Su Tao who had it cleaned. They all came to greet and thank her.

The logistics team leader finally got the chance to talk to Su Tao and said a lot of nice things to her.

It was already one in the morning when I returned to my room and prepared to go to bed.

Looking at the dirty bed, Su Tao and Guan Zining couldn't lie down.

Seeing this, Lin Fangzhi wanted to take out his bed for them to use.

Su Tao waved her hand: "No, please help me carry the two dirty beds out and throw them into the corridor."

After driving the people away, Su Tao picked out two single beds from a home improvement store, placed them in the place where the bed had been, and also added a small wardrobe for temporary use in the next few days.

There is also a small round table for four people between the two beds for everyone to eat.

After throwing the bed away, Guan Lin and Lin came back and were stunned when they saw the bed and the table.

Guan Zining said after a while: "Your special ability is for enjoyment. Whoever brings you out will enjoy it."

After saying that, she collapsed onto one of the single beds, which was soft and clean.

Everything was perfect except for the lack of air conditioning.

Unfortunately, the guesthouse has no electricity, so the air conditioner cannot be used.

As a result, Su Tao woke up two or three times due to the heat in one night.

The last time, she simply didn't sleep, got up, turned on the system, and called up Taoyang's three-dimensional map.

If the plantation wants to take over quickly, there must be a place to carry out the planting work.

There is really no space left in Taoyang unless one builds on the roof.

The three apartment buildings are almost all four or five stories high. It would be very inconvenient if there were no elevators.

After looking around, Su Tao felt that for the time being, they could only build the third floor of the cafeteria and install large floor-to-ceiling windows on all four sides to allow enough sunlight indoors for hydroponic planting.

As soon as I made up my mind, I started building it. It cost less than 10,000 yuan to build the sunroom on the third floor of the cafeteria.

Then, because we were worried that the third floor would be too hot, we installed a central air conditioner.

As soon as the sun rose, Su Tao called Qian Lin and said that she could send the hydroponic seeds to the third floor of the cafeteria for cultivation.

As soon as Qian Lin received the call, she ran downstairs. When she arrived in front of the cafeteria, she looked up and saw the sunroom that had appeared overnight.

There are large floor-to-ceiling windows on all four sides, making the house very spacious and bright.

She swallowed hard and said, "Boss Su, this is really timely. I'll ask the technicians to bring the seeds over and grow the first batch of vegetables as soon as possible."

Su Tao asked: "How long will it take to see the harvest?"

"It's very fast. Some can be harvested in a month. But with our current planting area, I estimate it will only be enough for 100 people in Taoyang."

Su Tao was quite satisfied: "Then for the time being, we will only supply it to our internal tenants, and the price will still be based on the previous Dongyang standard. We will sell it to the outside when there are more in the future."

Qian Lin was also happy. As a Taoyang native, she didn't have to worry about having no food to eat in the near future.

After hanging up the phone, Qian Lin told Zhuang Wan about the situation of the plantation and Su Tao's decision.

Zhuang Wan immediately issued an announcement, first telling the tenants that Taoyang would have its own plantation, and the vegetables grown would be sold internally first, with the price remaining the same as before.

Second, we would like to remind everyone not to go to the third floor of the cafeteria and cause trouble to the staff who grow vegetables.

This news is amazing news for Taoyang tenants.

Ever since learning that the Dongyang plantation was destroyed by a fire, everyone has been panicking about not having vegetables to eat for a long time, or having to rely on imports from other bases, which have doubled in price and are unaffordable.

No need to worry now!

The tenants in Taoyang were extremely grateful to have moved in earlier, and then they quickly called their relatives and friends who had not yet moved in, asking them not to give up, to continue applying for housing in Taoyang, and to try to move in as soon as possible.
