Chapter 170 Jinjiang Exclusive Release

【What happened to the anchor? 】

[Her expression seems off. Could it be that the ginseng and ganoderma lucidum induction wasn't going well?]

【But he looks pretty good. 】

Lu Xuan said: "It's not that it's not going well, it's just that the consumption is greater than expected."

Previously, he mainly used his time ability to catalyze salted eggs, pickled cabbage, or fruit wine, but this was the first time he used it on ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

The consumption of time ability is greater than that of other abilities. How could he know that ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum can consume more "ability"?

Lu Xuan analyzed it carefully. Perhaps it was because the others did not require him to provide additional energy to the raw materials, but only catalyzed them. However, the medicinal value of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum was extremely high, and it required more nutrients.

Based on this consumption, if he really planted a hundred plants a day and forced them to grow for a year, it would be equivalent to providing a hundred years' worth of nutrients in just one day...

This is going to drain him dry.

Lu Xuan: “…”

I was careless. The Ganoderma lucidum from last year is not suitable for mass production.

It is possible to reduce the amount of planting, but the cost-effectiveness will not be that high. It would be better to recycle more blind boxes and make money quickly.

Lu Xuan silently put aside his plan to earn 100 million yuan a year by growing ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

There are many ways to make money, there is no need to choose such a self-abusive way.

He looked down at the crops that had already grown and decided to harvest them all after two or three years and use them to make soup.

After finally transferring a wave of energy to this batch of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, Lu Xuan turned and went to the Li family.

…

"You mean the prices of the grocery store and the share of the land will be adjusted in the future?" Li Tie was surprised when he learned the purpose of Lu Xuan's visit.

"Why do you need to adjust it suddenly? How exactly do you do it?"

Is it to be adjusted upwards or downwards?

Lu Xuan opened his mouth and said, "Because our performance has always satisfied the immortal, the immortal has lowered the prices of some items. After the price reduction, according to the previous profit ratio, I have taken too much advantage."

When Li Tie heard this, he knew that this adjustment was not a bad thing and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he smiled and said, "You can't say that. If you hadn't received the favor of the immortal, we wouldn't be living the good life we have now."

Even the disaster victims who were protected by the famous Huo family army had such a hard life, they were already in a good place.

Of course he knew that the things Lu Xuan exchanged for them were not for free, but they also benefited from it, so it was reasonable for Lu Xuan to get some of the profits.

Lu Xuan said, "Let's put it this way. The prices of some things have dropped several times. If I take too much, it will inevitably get too hot."

Li Tie was shocked, "So much reduction?"

Now he couldn't say no, so he humbly asked, "Then tell me, how exactly do you want to change the profit sharing?"

Lu Xuan said: "Let's talk about the share of the land first. The cost of the greenhouse is relatively high. My original plan was to get a share for three years, and then the greenhouse, air conditioner and plant protection machine will all belong to the village." He only provided the subsequent energy.

"But now, the cost of greenhouses has dropped significantly. I will take half of the first harvest as agreed, and the share will be adjusted to 20% for one year. After that, everything in the greenhouse will belong to the village."

Li Tie was shocked. "Reducing this much? You really won't lose money?"

Lu Xuan shook his head. "I will continue to optimize the mutant crop seeds, mainly improving their growth. In the next round, everyone can come to me to exchange new seeds. The total yield should be able to increase by another third or even half."

The share was smaller, but the total output was higher, so what he got was not too less. Not to mention losing money, he could easily make back his investment with just one round of harvest and even have some left over, and the remaining 11 rounds were pure profit.

Lu Xuan: "Including the subsequent debts for the village to purchase the second ship will also be directly forgiven. The previous debts are enough."

Li Tie: “!!!” Tens of thousands of kilograms of supplies were freed?

This is a really big price drop!

Lu Xuan continued, "The elixir is too precious, so the price remains the same. The price of the floating bus has been adjusted to 5,000 kilograms of mutant food for a single carriage, and 10,000 kilograms for a double carriage."

Li Tie said excitedly: "So cheap!?"

Lu Xuan nodded. "Also, the Immortals are not planning to open up bulk purchases of large vehicles, so I don't plan to sell them to individuals in the village. If the village chief is interested, he can buy them in the name of the village."

Li Tie immediately said, "Buy, buy, buy! The debt on Ship No. 2 has just been paid off, and the extra funds can be used to buy two suspended buses!"

He had been thinking about buying a floating bus for a long time, but he had not mentioned it before because of the debt pressure of Ship No. 2. Now that the price has dropped so much, he should hurry and get it.

Afterwards, Lu Xuan talked about the latest pricing of other daily necessities.

Nutrients, biological clothing, ice patches, heat patches, toilet paper, and basic medicines are all daily consumables. Lu Xuan originally had no intention of making money, so there was not much room for price reduction, and the prices remained unchanged.

The original price of the upgraded biological clothing was three times that of the basic version. After the adjustment, the quantity of supplies was changed to the same, but it must be exchanged for mutant food.

Because of its special nature, the space ring maintains the principle of scarcity and value, so its price has been reduced, but not too much, only to half of its original price.

Li Tie: “!!!”

Lu Xuan specifically reminded: "The price difference will not be compensated for space rings purchased before the price reduction."

Li Tie nodded in understanding, "As I should."

The space rings were purchased at the original price before. If Lu Xuan were to compensate the villagers for the difference, wouldn't that mean he would be paying out of pocket? That definitely cannot be compensated.

Li Tie suddenly thought of the flying machine that Lu Xuan took when he went out last time, and asked, "Does the Immortal allow the sale of flying machines?"

Lu Xuan said: "I'm not considering selling it for now, but I might consider renting it to the village later."

He needs to go back and think carefully about how to earn money for the subsequent warships before making a decision.

Li Tie was obviously a little disappointed.

Lu Xuan said, "Although the aircraft is not for sale, don't you want to find out the price of the safe house?"

Li Tie immediately stood up and said, "Of course I have to understand!"

Flying vehicles are not a necessity for villagers, but safe houses are.

It can be shrunk and carried around, has an internal toilet, and you can take a hot shower or even a bath at any time. If you could own such a convenient house, you would probably wake up laughing in your dreams.

Lu Xuan quoted the prices of safe houses of different sizes one by one.

Li Tie took a breath and said excitedly: "So cheap!?"

[Pfft, has the village chief become a parrot? He can only say this.]

[The fact is that it is very cheap, at least much cheaper than before. ]

[But if converted to Star Alliance prices, ugh... the streamer is really shady.]

[In the past, the anchor gave out many things at almost cost price in order to make the villagers live a good life. It's time for the anchor to make some money.]

[Prices in different dimensions are inherently incomparable. In ancient times, everyone ate natural foods. How can we compare with them?]

【It hurts.】

Lu Xuan didn't care about the audience's reaction. He just jokingly asked the village chief: "Since it's cheap, why don't you buy the villa you live in now?"

Li Tie got excited and almost said "buy it", but he quickly calmed down when the words came to his lips.

Impulsive spending is not advisable.

The village’s public debt is gone, but their family still has a lot of debt due to evolutionary fluid.

Li Tie took a deep breath and said reluctantly, "There's no rush to buy a house."

It's not just a matter of not having enough food on hand. The question is whether to buy the villa safe house we live in now or to exchange it for a smaller one, and how to exchange it. These all need to be discussed with my family later.

Lu Xuan nodded and said, "You really can't rush buying a house. The price won't be adjusted again. Just come to me anytime you want to buy one."

He roughly told the prices of the items that the villagers could use and were interested in.

“If there are any omissions, the villagers will check it out themselves by going to the grocery store later.”

Li Tie nodded: "Okay, I'll use the communicator to go door to door and inform them about the price increase."

Finally, when Li Tie thought that this was all they were going to talk about today, Lu Xuan brought up another matter.

Li Tie almost popped his eyes out after hearing this.

·

After Lu Xuan left, Li Tie quickly notified every household in the village about the changes in the distribution of land and the price adjustments of other goods in the Lu family grocery store.

The villagers were all excited when they found out.

The 50% dividend was directly reduced to 20%. This is not a small change. It is equivalent to each family getting an additional 1,800 kilograms of grain during the second harvest after winter!

If the production can be increased in the future, it will be several hundred kilograms!

And it will only be distributed for one year. By this time next year, apart from 20% of public supplies, they will have to take the remaining 80% themselves.

What's the difference between this and giving them money for free?

As soon as the news spread, the communicators of the three people in the Lu family except Lu Chen were blown up.

Most people came to them to confirm whether the change was true, while those who were close to them were worried about whether Lu Xuan would lose money. Was it really the price adjusted by the immortal?

Could it be that he himself is losing money and they are taking advantage of him?

Lu Xuan: Does he look like someone who likes to be taken advantage of?

The price was indeed reduced a lot, but in fact his profit was much higher than before.

Unfortunately, no one in the village believed this.

Lu Xuan just told everyone with certainty that the price adjustment was real and he would not lose anything. If they had time, they could come to him for confirmation. It would be better to go to the grocery store to see if there was anything they wanted to buy.

It’s no wonder that quite a few people flocked to the grocery store to open the new price list displayed by Daddy Wei.

The female family members, led by Miao Jinfeng, had learned a lot of words from their younger generations during this period, and they could easily understand the content, and then they were all amazed.

"Hiss! The prices have actually dropped!"

"A treasure as good as the Space Ring is only half the price!?"

"The upgraded biological suits are so cheap, and the weather is getting colder lately, so I have to buy some for everyone in my family!"

Many of the women nodded quickly, "It's time to change, that's the most important thing."

More than half a month into the extreme cold season, the temperature outside has dropped to minus thirty degrees Celsius.

The basic biological suit can only be adjusted up and down by 20 degrees, and minus 10 degrees is still quite cold.

They are used to being able to go out wearing only a single layer of clothing, so if they are asked to wear thick clothes, it will be inconvenient for them to work.

What’s more, in less than half a month, the temperature will drop another ten degrees, and the basic model will be even less sufficient, and it must be updated!

Previously, because the upgraded model was more expensive, just like during the extremely hot season, only a small number of wealthy families could afford to buy it.

Now that the price has been reduced in advance, why hesitate? Of course, buy early and enjoy early!

Not only biological clothing, but also various small appliances are one-third or even half cheaper than before.

Kettle, rice cooker, pressure cooker, microwave oven, juicer, meat grinder, water purifier, dishwasher, yogurt maker...

The women who were reluctant to buy them before are now envious of these practical small appliances.

Buy it!!!

There are also some slightly more specialized ones, such as home dryers, vacuum packaging machines, and even air conditioners!

An air conditioner only costs 100 kilograms of mutant grain, which is so cheap that it is unbelievable.

Father Wei specifically told them what Lu Xuan said, "This is only the price during the disaster period. When the situation stabilizes and everyone returns to their previous lives, the price will definitely change."

Otherwise, one hundred kilograms of grain, even if it is mutated grain, would be sold at a high price of 100 wen per kilogram in peacetime, and one hundred kilograms would only be worth ten taels of silver.

Want to buy an air conditioner that keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer with this little money?

Ten taels of gold is about right.

The female members of the family also understood this.

The prices in troubled times and prosperous times are definitely different.

But it has no effect on them.

What a joke! There's no way I could wait until the disaster is over to buy such a cheap item.

They're going to take it today!

Because the grocery store's prices were like clearance sales, the women's hidden shopping desires were completely aroused that day.

Obviously, apart from buying a space ring, he usually only came here to buy daily necessities such as salt, sugar and toilet paper. However, today, for the first time ever, he consumed several hundred kilograms of food in one go. He didn't feel sorry at all, but was very happy instead.

Old Man Wei and two other villagers were constantly busy getting goods for people and settling accounts.

·

Women can buy small items at the grocery store, but when it comes to big items, such as houses, it is not so easy for families to buy them.

Renting and buying a house require completely different considerations.

Families like Chen Rong's, Grandma Lin's, Aunt Sun's, etc. are all mother-son or grandparent-grandchild combinations. Judging from the current situation, living in a single room is enough.

But won’t Chen Rong, Lin Man, and Li Miao get married in the future?

Don’t you have to have children after you have a wife?

In ancient times, there were few families with only one child, and a single room was only equipped with one bedroom and one study, which was definitely not enough.

So even though a single safe house could be purchased with only three thousand kilograms of mutant food, it was still excluded from the purchase options by everyone from the beginning.

The foundation of a two-person family is a two-person safe house.

That is the housing price of 5,000 kilograms of mutated grain.

This price can be reached by harvesting grain twice more, so it is not expensive.

However, most people have not yet paid off their debt for evolution liquid. Whether to pay it off first and then buy a house, or to buy the house in installments to increase the debt pressure, is something that needs to be carefully considered.

If the population is larger and the double safe house is not enough, we have to buy a two-story villa, which costs 10,000 kilograms of mutant food.

For a large family like the Li family, the two-story small house is too crowded, so they have to consider buying the three-story villa they live in now.

The price doubled directly, 20,000 kilograms of mutant grain.

The family of seven already had a debt of 34,000 kilograms of evolution liquid, and with the addition of a villa, it would be 54,000 kilograms.

Just listening to it makes one's eyes go dark.

However, Li Tie has some other ideas about this.

Li Tie said to the two brothers: "When Li Tuo gets married and has children, your mother and I will definitely separate and live separately when we are older-"

Li Jing disagreed and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? What about dividing the family or not?"

Li Tuo also hurriedly said: "Dad, I don't have the intention to split up the family. It's more lively for our family to live together."

Miao Jinfeng also looked at her husband in confusion.

Other families are most afraid of bringing up the topic of division, which can easily cause family disharmony. Why did Li Tie, as the father, take the initiative to bring it up?

Li Tie waved his hand and said, "I didn't say to split up now. It's only a matter of time before the children grow up and the family splits up. As long as you two brothers don't have a falling out, there's nothing wrong with talking about these things."

Li Jing and Li Tuo looked at each other and said nothing.

Li Tiedao said, "What I'm saying is that it will be many years before our family splits up. By then, the safe house won't be worth this much. If you buy it then, you'll lose a lot more than you do now."

"So I thought, in addition to buying the villa, we should also buy Li Tuo's share of the house after the family splits up. That would be the most cost-effective way."

The family members suddenly understood and thought, “That makes sense!”

Miao Jinfeng naturally hoped that the two brothers would live a good life in the future, but...

She hesitated and said, "Isn't this too much pressure on the family?"

They live in a three-story villa, so they can't just prepare a double room for Li Tuo. They should at least have a small two-story villa, right?

Then the budget will have to be increased by another 10,000 kilograms.

The thought of spending 10,000 or 20,000 kilograms of grain at any time was something that I would never have dared to think of in the past.

Li Tie grumbled, "We didn't say we have to buy two houses this year. We can't even buy the house we live in right away. The disaster will last for more than four years. Why rush?

Why don't you calculate how much food we can get in a year based on the current monthly harvest?"

Li Jing, Li Tuo, and Li Yue all started calculating subconsciously.

They have a large family and own five acres of land. During the rainy season, they harvest more than 4,000 kilograms each time.

This is probably about the amount of the first harvest during the extreme cold season.

But the second time Lu Xuan got less share, their family’s grain income should be able to increase to more than 5,000 or even 6,000 kilograms.

If you keep this data every month, you will get 72,000 kilograms of mutant food in the coming year!

Li Yue calculated the data quickly and said it out.

The brothers Li Jing and Li Tuo, who were still counting on their fingers, took a deep breath at the same time when they heard this.

Li Tuo was shocked and said, "So much—!? Wouldn't that mean we can pay for the evolutionary fluid and the house within next year?"

Li Tie glanced at him and said, "Why, don't you need to eat the crops you grow? Don't you need to exchange them for other daily necessities?"

Their food income did increase, but their daily expenses were also much higher than before.

After deducting various expenses, it would be good if half of it could be left.

Li Tuo said, "Half of that is more than 30,000 kilograms. Wouldn't two years be enough?"

Li Jing reminded him: "The family must set aside some food just in case. Two years is too tight. It would be better to set aside one more year."

Li Tie nodded, "That's right."

After knowing the latest prices, he did the math himself and planned to buy both houses within three years.

Even if something goes wrong in the middle, there is still a year's surplus.

Li Tie looked at the two brothers and said, "Although there's no rush to buy a house right now, we still need to make it clear first, so that you don't get confused about the pros and cons and feel it's unnecessary, which will lead to unnecessary conflicts in the future."

Li Jing and Li Tuo nodded in understanding, "Don't worry, Dad. We all understand your feelings and won't think too much about it."

They have always had a good relationship as brothers, and their abilities have improved a lot since they acquired superpowers, so they wouldn't do anything dirty over these things.

If all else fails, they are able to earn a house on their own.

As for Li Yue, whom Li Tie did not mention specifically, she wanted to continue staying at home and her family could definitely support her.

If she wants to remarry, Li Tie will prepare enough dowry for her, so as not to let down his only daughter.

·

As a family with a large population, the Zhang family's house-buying plan is a little different.

Zhang Chengming is the only child of his generation, so there is no question of dividing the family. What their family needs to consider is the fourth generation.

This problem cannot be solved by simply buying one more house, but by buying several more!

The old man and Zhang Wende and his wife, Zhang Chengming and his wife live in one, Dafu, who has grown up, lives in one, Xiaofu lives in one, and Xiuxiu will also bring one as a dowry when she gets married.

The total price of four double safe houses is 20,000 kilograms, the same as buying a villa, but it avoids the problem of having only one villa and it being difficult to distribute in the future.

It's fair because every child has a share in the little house.

The Zhang family has one more person than the Li family, but the old man and his three children can all enjoy the subsidized price of evolution liquid, and Zhang Dafu is a special type and can get it for free.

The total debt is two thousand pounds less than that of the Li family.

But the difference between 52,000 and 54,000 is actually not that big.

The final house-buying plan was the same as the Li family's, also a "three-year plan."

Although it takes a long time, the Zhang family feels very happy when they think about having something like a safe house in the future.

At the same time, Lu Xuan, who had just counted the day's revenue from the grocery store, was in a good mood.
