There are not many livestock raised in the base. There are only a dozen pigs. However, because the feed has not been processed, the pigs do not grow fast, and there is no scientific feeding method. So far, these pigs have not started to mate and produce, and there are no new piglets. No one is willing to slaughter the grown pigs.

There are chickens and ducks, but their reproduction rate is slow, so the hens and ducks have to be kept. The number of roosters and ducks is small, and even if they are all slaughtered, there will not be enough for everyone in the base to eat.

The biggest problem is that the improved glass covers are not enough. Even if the base really engages in breeding, without the glass covers, the extra chickens, ducks and pigs will die under the scorching sun.

"Why not keep them in the house?" Ye Zhou asked.

Yang Yue explained, "I have raised them, but they don't lay eggs very often when they go indoors."

Ye Zhou was a little surprised. He had never heard of chickens and ducks not laying eggs indoors. If that were true, how could the chicken farms in his dimension still make a profit? Only a few people raised pheasants.

"We don't know why either." Yang Yue, "I heard that some people in other bases are researching it, but I don't think they can figure it out."

"Are you looking for someone to buy the glass cover?" Ye Zhou, "Is there anyone who can produce it now?"

The handicraft industry in Base 276 is not well developed now. Although there is electricity, it is still mainly agriculture-based. There are no modern factories and assembly lines in the true sense. However, this kind of glass cover that can adjust sunlight is obviously not something that a base dominated by agriculture and handicrafts can produce.

Is there still room for cutting-edge technology to survive and develop here?

Zou Ming explained: "Yes, but very little, and it costs a lot of money."

Here, steel will corrode as long as it is exposed to sunlight and air.

Therefore, the high price of the glass cover was not considered expensive to Zou Ming, and could even be considered cheap, at least he could afford it.

Ye Zhou sighed: "It's too difficult to industrialize here."

“But it’s not impossible.”

"If we want to do it, we can only rely on the supermarket's system." Ye Zhou and Zou Ming went to the side to discuss, "Once the system is gone, the industrial system that relies on the system will fall apart instantly. There are no raw materials here, no ore, and water resources are limited. Wind resources are not worth mentioning. Only solar energy is inexhaustible."

But solar energy is not very useful. It can be used to generate electricity, but it cannot be converted into physical resources.

Zou Ming: "I've thought about it, so I don't plan to use anything in the system except crops."

"We have to develop it ourselves. We can always find resources and ways."

Since human beings have survived to this day, they have not reached a dead end.

Maybe one day there will be a downpour of rain and the trees will come back to life again?

Ye Zhou felt that Zou Ming’s idea was correct and that relying on external forces would not last long.

"Let's open a branch first." Ye Zhou, "and improve their food."

Zou Ming acted immediately and quickly appointed a pair of people to build the branch. They were both young and strong guys. Although it was called construction, it was actually just a modification of an existing small building, with Ye Zhou providing the materials.

The three-story building, glass, paint and tools were all provided by Ye Zhou. He wanted to spend money to buy them from Zou Ming to at least generate some income for the base, but he couldn't spend any money.

It was Zou Ming who comforted him and told him that it was good enough that the base could fill the stomachs of the residents.

There is no need to lay a foundation or lay bricks, just repaint the small building, put up the shelves and cash register and you can start business.

It took less than a week from start to finish. If the glass windows weren't difficult to install, three days would have been enough.

There are three floors this time. Ye Zhou thought about it and decided to sell food on the first floor, daily necessities on the second floor, and the third floor as a temporary warehouse. People here cannot use the other floors. After all, electricity is limited, and it is a luxury to have lighting at night.

Ye Zhou discussed with Zou Ming: "After all, it's a branch store, and I don't want to be in charge all the time. It would be best if we could choose a store manager from you guys."

"I don't know about you. I originally thought Yang Yue was suitable, but she has to manage a nursing home and her health is not very good." Ye Zhou, "So it's up to you to decide who to choose."

"The same goes for employees." Ye Zhou, "My employees can't stay here."

Although this will be his second home in the future, Ye Zhou knows that his main business is still plane trading.

The two of them discussed it and decided that the most important thing for a branch manager is to be obedient, and that being smart and clever should take a back seat. Opening a branch here would be a seller's market, and the manager would not need to think of ways to attract customers.

Choose someone who is smart but quick-witted. It would not be a good idea if he tries to sell things in the supermarket outside.

It's not that the base cannot fight with the outside world, but every fight will result in the loss of many people. Here, manpower is already scarce. If there are fewer people, not to mention handicrafts, even agriculture cannot be carried out.

Ye Zhou still felt a little regretful: "Yang Yue is actually the most suitable one."

"He Yu is also OK." said Zou Ming.

They didn't consider the men under Zou Ming at the beginning.

Regardless of whether Zou Ming's subordinates are loyal and obedient, Zou Ming has set a bad example after all.

Zou Ming killed Zhao Qing and became the new ruler, thus equating killing the former boss with becoming the current boss.

Ambition always grows slowly. Zou Ming doesn't want to kill anyone, at least he doesn't want to kill people when everyone has no worries about food and clothing. So even if the people under his command are very honest now, he doesn't want to provide any ground for betrayal.

Whenever it comes to important positions, Zou Ming prefers to use the women who followed him first.

Ye Zhou nodded: "Then let He Yu choose the employee himself."

"Auntie He! The boss is calling you!" The boy was running in the yellow sand in slippers. He was probably less than fifteen years old, with a childish face, but a smile on his face. He had a pair of droopy eyes, like a puppy. He was usually popular and everyone, young or old, male or female, was willing to give him a good face.

He Yu, who was feeding the chickens, put down the wooden frame containing the chicken food and looked at the boy strangely. She patted the dust off her hands and asked as she walked away, "What's the matter? Why did the boss ask me to do this at this time? It's not even the end of the month yet."

She is now in charge of the feeding and breeding of chickens and ducks, and has a certain status in the base. Her previously bad temper has improved a lot now. She is a little confused. After all, apart from the monthly report, Zou Ming has never called her at other times.

Now that she is called, she doesn't know why.

The boy came up to He Yu and said with a smile: "Aunt He, the boss called you suddenly, it must be something important. You might become rich!"

He Yu was puzzled: "What do you mean by developed? From raising chickens to raising pigs?"

She drooled when she saw the dozen or so pigs, but she couldn't kill them and eat their meat. Raising pigs was a torture.

At least raising chickens can give you more eggs every month.

Raising pigs means just watching them drool every day.

The boy's eyes rolled: "Maybe it's something more important."

He Yu: "Besides those pigs, what else is more important in the base right now?"

Every day after get off work, when the people in the base have nothing to do, they will go to see the dozen or so pigs. He Yu feels that the pigs are almost going crazy from being watched.

The boy couldn't tell what it was, but his intuition told him it must be a big deal, so he begged in a low voice: "Aunt He, if it's really a good thing, please don't forget me."

He Yu glanced at the boy. She adopted the child, but she did not allow the boy to call her mother. When she adopted him, she was worried that the child was too young to raise, so the boy was already eight years old at the time.

Maybe it's because the child has reached an age where they can understand things, so the two of them are more like partners than mother and son. There is a relationship that pulls them together, but they are not yet at the point where they can talk about everything and care about each other.

"Got it." He Yu waved his hand: "I won't forget you when good things happen, and the same goes for bad things."

He Yu didn't expect that the boy was right. She looked at Zou Ming and thought there was something wrong with her hearing: "Supermarket branch?!"

She almost broke her voice, but instead of being ecstatic, she looked at Zou Ming nervously.

The boss has been very normal for so many years. Could it be that he can no longer accept the fact that Boss Ye will not come back and has finally gone crazy?

For He Yu, everything about the supermarket seemed like something from his previous life.

"Boss...are you okay?" He Yu asked cautiously.

Zou Ming: "I'm fine. I'm just telling you that you can find 20 employees. You can find them yourself. If you don't do a good job, you will be punished."

He Yu wanted to cry but had no tears: "Boss, the supermarket disappeared ten years ago."

Nearly ten years have passed, not just one or two years. The memories of ten years ago have been covered with a veil and are no longer clear. He Yu can't even remember what the supermarket owner looked like. She only remembers that she was terrified every morning when she went to deal with the supermarket's garbage, fearing that she would lose her job if she was not careful.

I still remember the emotions I felt at that time, but the faces of those people and that supermarket have become blurry.

He Yu tried every means to "comfort" Zou Ming: "Boss, if you really feel bad, go out more often and don't stay depressed all the time."

"There are quite a few men in the base. Look around and maybe you can pick a suitable one."

He Yu racked his brains, it was never so difficult for him to speak in his life.

After hearing the last part, the veins on Zou Ming's forehead jumped: "Ye Zhou is back."

He Yu was stunned. She couldn't say anything and just looked at Zou Ming.

This man, who she had barely watched grow up, had shed his youthful appearance and become decisive and ruthless, cold-blooded to the point of cruelty. However, there was still a soft spot in his heart for someone he might never see again in his life.

He Yu whispered, "Okay, I'll be the store manager."

She must go find Yang Yue when she goes out!

Zou Ming nodded. He didn't care whether He Yu believed it or not. He took her to the supermarket anyway. She had to believe it whether she wanted to or not: "Go out."

He Yu quickly turned around and left.

She was so anxious that she felt like a dog was running over her butt.

He Yu was extremely anxious. What should he do? The boss was crazy!
