Should we switch to corn?

This was the first time Jiang Zhi had encountered something like this. She certainly didn't lack food, and these were grains that had been artificially ripened outside, so she would hardly be able to eat them for a while.

Exchanging with someone is not necessarily a bad thing.

In general, there are several benefits: you can improve your skills, collect the resources you want, and find out information about other humans.

To upgrade the "Winning People Over with Virtue" skill, a large amount of metal is needed, preferably rare or precious metals. If someone is willing to exchange metal for it, she can give them food.

"I have some crystals from mutated animals here, red crystals. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

“I don’t need crystals for now, but if you can collect some high-quality metal, I might consider it.”

Jiang Zhi thought for a moment. Three thousand jin of "winning people over with virtue" didn't seem heavy enough. She still needed to use the remaining metal in her space for emergencies, so she couldn't let it absorb any more.

Now she can use the principle of "returning all things to their source" to nourish people and win them over with virtue.

"Really?" Xiong Dailin asked in surprise, "Can I have precious metals?"

"Can."

He immediately put down his bundle, took out a paper package from his bag, and then turned his dead companion's bag upside down, finding another package inside.

This was something I picked up while passing by a gold shop after the apocalypse when I was collecting supplies.

Before the apocalypse, these things were unattainable, and ordinary people wouldn't buy them in bulk. After the apocalypse, it's incredibly satisfying to raid gold shops.

But what's the use of having all of these?

It's not as valuable as a cookie or a pack of instant noodles.

Jiang Zhi asked Wan Fu to watch over things, then turned around and went to the basement to retrieve a scale.

These graduated scales are no longer available on the market; I never expected this person could still produce one.

He looks just like a grain dealer.

Jiang Zhi opened the paper package and looked inside. It contained some ordinary jewelry, and the package weighed about a pound.

Weigh it; it's one jin and two liang.

Then Jiang Zhi scooped a plate of corn kernels onto a scale, weighing one pound and two ounces.

"My exchange rules here are one pound of precious metal for one pound of grain, and 100 pounds of ordinary metal for one pound of grain. You are my first customer, so I'll sell to you for now. But if you come back to exchange, my requirement is that you must have seeds. No matter how much metal you have, I won't exchange without seeds." Jiang Zhi poured the corn kernels into Xiong Dailin's backpack.

Ordinary metal is very heavy; exchanging 100 jin for 1 jin of grain doesn't seem like a big loss.

She can even ripen fruit on the spot.

The reason for needing the other party to provide seeds is also due to considerations of our own costs.

She couldn't let anyone know how much food she had.

"Okay, okay, thank you so much. May I ask if I can recommend others to exchange grain here?" Xiong Dailin zipped up his backpack and nodded.

“Of course.” Jiang Zhi nodded.

"May I ask your name?"

"You can call me Boss Jiang."

With great excitement, Xiong Dailin took away his companion's supplies and also moved his companion's body.

He dared not leave the body here; if it stank, it would affect Boss Jiang, which would be bad.

Jiang Zhi stored all the dried corn into her space, so now she no longer needs to accelerate the growth of grains on a large scale.

All you have to do is wait for the metal to be delivered, and then you can accept the order.

I don't know how much influence Xiong Dailin has in selling products. The most urgent thing is to upgrade her residence so that she doesn't get robbed without even knowing it.

Jiang Zhi used violent means to blast several large craters outside the villa ruins, and then made all sorts of traps, all of which she learned from videos in her virtual space.

With her current abilities, mutated beasts are no longer a threat, and she can use her "All Things Return to Nature" skill to open a mobile food trading shop in the apocalypse.

This is really interesting.

In this life, she doesn't have to travel as far as she did in her previous life; she can even enjoy life to the fullest.

Having made up my mind, I decided to name this shop the Doomsday Mobile Food Store.

The word "moving" implies that she is like a peddler in ancient times, bringing tradable goods to every place she goes.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so good.

Jiang Zhi entered the space, looked at her granary, and felt extremely satisfied.

She excitedly faced off against Wanfu and they fought. Her speed was now on par with Wanfu's.

In close combat, Jiang Zhi is no match for Wan Fu, but when using skills, Wan Fu can only last three moves against Jiang Zhi.

With the help of Jiang Zhi's spiritual power, Wanfu developed intelligence, making him a level above the mutated beasts outside.

Unable to defeat Jiang Zhi, Wan Fu felt frustrated and could only vent his anger on the mutated beasts. Within a three-kilometer radius of the basement, all the mutated beasts were slaughtered by Wan Fu.

Wanfu has also become smarter. In the past, he would not forget to bring back some blood or fur so that Jiang Zhi would find out. Jiang Zhi would inevitably scold him or tease him.

Now, after cheating on his wife outside, he runs to a place with water, takes a quick bath, and then comes back without Jiang Zhi finding out.

But how could it possibly escape Jiang Zhi's sharp eyes? It was discovered every time.

Wanfu bluntly stated: He'll dare to do it again next time!

Jiang Zhi: Whatever!

Wanfu: "..." Is Ao's IQ really not as good as his mother's?

Jiang Zhi wasn't against Wanfu going out, but she was afraid it would be attacked by a group of guys with firearms like last time, so she couldn't help but worry when it went out.

Now that she plans to open a shop, many people will know about Wanfu's existence. Jiang Zhi knows she can't hide it forever; in fact, she never intended to hide the little guy at all.

Therefore, Jiang Zhi frequently fought with Wan Fu, and the two fought from inside the space to outside the space. Wan Fu and Jiang Zhi's combat power increased with each fight.

"Alright, the signboard is finished." Jiang Zhi waved the cardboard in her hand, which showed the store's name, the exchange rate for supplies, and the requirements.

A mobile food store in the apocalypse.

Trading Rules:

500g of grain — 500g of precious metal / 100g of precious metal, 1 crystal (crystal grade not limited)

500g of grain — 50kg of ordinary metal / 20kg of ordinary metal, 1 crystal (crystal grade not limited)

One 350ml bottle of water equals 1kg of precious metal/500g of precious metal and one crystal (crystal grade not limited).

One 350ml bottle of water — 50kg of common metal / 20kg of common metal, one crystal (crystal grade not limited)

Note: Please bring your own seeds and water bottle.

The current trading arrangement involves food and water, but with extreme heat approaching, water will become the scarcest resource.

The ice arrows formed from the piercing of a thousand arrows can melt into water. When her spiritual power is insufficient, she can also use the spring water in the space to fish in troubled waters.

Anyway, she owns the shop, so she can do whatever she wants with it.

Jiang Zhi put up a sign where the corn had been drying yesterday and also made a road sign pointing in the direction of the store.

Even in temperatures of 42 degrees Celsius, people can still go outside during the day.
