Chapter 42 Chapter 42 [Get "Rare Blind Box" X1! ]...

Although he said that, because the best time for fishing is in the afternoon, Ye Mian still did a little work after getting up in the morning.

The first thing was to exchange all the rhenium stones harvested yesterday for points. In addition to the gains from the later transactions, Lu Ning also picked up several hundred rhenium stones when he cleared out the mutants in the entire cafeteria.

Then he bought a bunch of relatively cheap vegetable crop seeds at the seed store and stockpiled them in preparation for the main quest that would give him over thirty extra seeds in a single day.

After all, she had a feeling that the farm's spiritual essence would soon reach 10+1, simply because there was an additional employee with the skill [Luck].

Then he checked the farm employee information again. After looking at the farm log which showed nothing unusual, Ye Mian washed up and went downstairs.

Lu Ning, who also got up a little late, just came back from a short exercise outside. Seeing her coming down with a relaxed look, he couldn't help but smile: "Breakfast?"

"Um."

Xue Kai now had an important task to do, so he just left breakfast for them in the pot, and then went out to work with a group of new employees.

Lu Ning went to the kitchen and when he returned to the living room, he was holding several plates of food.

There was steamed corn, fried dumplings, boiled eggs, and a plate of siu mai for the first time.

——When harvesting rice two days ago, Xue Kai got an extra bag of glutinous rice seeds. He planted some immediately. He originally planned to make glutinous rice dumplings, but he didn't expect to eat steamed buns first.

Lu Ning tried one and praised it for being delicious, but he couldn't help but say, "I prefer the mushroom flavor."

This time, corn and cabbage are put in it. The sweet taste and soft glutinous rice blend together to create a unique flavor.

However, when Ye Mian heard Lu Ning talking about mushrooms, he remembered that there was a collecting side quest that required mushrooms and bamboo shoots.

Bamboo shoots can be left to grow in the bamboo forest, but for mushrooms, I guess I’ll have to go out and look for them myself as before.

Taking Dahei out for some exploring after a long absence?

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Lu Ning speak again: "They will be digging the foundation later. I plan to go and see if there is anything I can do to help."

Ye Mian knew that she would definitely not be idle, so he was not too surprised: "Yes, together."

But Ye Mian couldn't help much, so he went to find an open space to take out some construction materials from the system warehouse.

Perhaps Wang Xu's [luck] had begun to come in handy, as Ye Mian got X100 for every package he opened, so that after only opening a few packages, the ground was already filled with materials.

Although the new employees had seen her store the things yesterday, they were still stunned for a while when they saw her take things out of thin air, and the stones and wood were neatly arranged.

After opening ten packages of each material and seeing that they were piled all over the floor, Ye Mian stopped working and went to another empty space to take out the small machines he had found in the industrial park yesterday.

Then he called Qi Shu and asked him to install a new battery and try it out.

After confirming that it worked, I felt relieved but also a little regretful. Then I silently kept in mind the task of finding more batteries.

Although the foundation before building a house, whether digging or subsequent construction, is not Ye Mian's job, her opinion needs to be sought on the layout planning of the house.

So during lunch, Ye Mian held a meeting with everyone and decided on the distribution of the three different buildings.

The residences are located inside, the shops are located outside, and the warehouses are scattered inside and in the middle, which makes storage convenient and saves trouble when transporting later.

Then the three are separated by roads and then connected to each other. After all, the farm can be upgraded again. If the area doubles, the roads can continue to be extended.

After lunch, everyone else went about their business. Ye Mian called Xue Kai, who was organizing the ingredients, Chen Jia, who was preparing to make a few new sets of tables and chairs, and Zhou Jingshu, who was not very good at physical work. The four of them sat down and had another small meeting.

What needed to be agreed upon this time was the management and allocation of personnel. Before, when there were only a few people, she could rely on them, do the same work, and eat the same food.

But now that there are more and more people, we need to build houses so that we can live and eat separately.

After all, when survival issues no longer pose a threat, people tend to have many different ideas.

They will compare themselves with each other, have disagreements and create rifts, and may even form small groups to exclude people they dislike.

At this time, it is necessary to establish some rules, not only to distribute materials fairly, but also to reward and punish people according to their actions.

Ye Mian recalled his original student life and said thoughtfully, "There is a very simple method, which is the points system. Different numbers of points are issued according to different types of work and working hours, and then the points are exchanged for food, supplies or other rewards."

Hearing this, Chen Jia and Zhou Jingshu looked at each other, both feeling as if they had returned to a long time ago.

But the current situation is equivalent to technological regression of dozens or even hundreds of years. Without electronic communications, currency has become the least valuable thing.

Xue Kai nodded and said, "That's good. We can also set up some rewards, such as full attendance, overtime, etc."

"Well, after the shop opens, in addition to the guaranteed points, you can also get commissions from sales."

Ye Mian paused, and then said: "Since we are talking about overtime, then let's set specific working and rest times. Those who want to work overtime can do so, and those who don't want to work overtime don't have to worry about others' opinions."

"As for the punishment, it will only be a points deduction for now. If there are more serious mistakes, we will discuss and decide separately."

“Housing is allocated uniformly based on the situation, and self-selection is not supported.”

"Now all jobs can be mixed, but in the future we will need fixed positions, let them register their information first, and then arrange them according to their different skills."

After briefly mentioning a few points that needed special attention, Ye Mian looked at Zhou Jingshu and Chen Jia.

"Zhou Jingshu will be responsible for coming up with a specific plan, and Chen Jia will assist. If you have any questions, please find Xue Kai, or you can come to me directly."

"Ah? Me?" What Zhou Jingshu did most in the past was to make forms, print some documents, answer the phone and act as a messenger. He had never been assigned such an important task.

So she subconsciously wanted to shake her head to indicate that she couldn't do it, but when she met Ye Mian's calm and trusting gaze, she suddenly found herself unable to speak.

When Ye Mian expressed his intention to take some people away yesterday, many people were not optimistic and some even mocked him.

Since she decided to go against the trend and follow Ye Mian, she had to do something that she couldn't do before.

"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

Chen Jia also said: "Let's cheer together!"

"Um!"

Seeing that the two were not very confident but full of determination and motivation, Ye Mian just nodded, then turned to look at Xue Kai: "Mention it to Lu Ning later and see if she has any other ideas."

The reason why Ye Mian did not invite Lu Ning to the meeting was because he could see that the latter was still a little bit unsure about the new employee. He said he was there to help, but in fact he was just acting as a supervisor.

This is indeed necessary. After all, sometimes people become greedy for just a moment. After getting something, they will want more.

After the meeting, Ye Mian finally had some free time.

First Lu Ning and then Xue Kai went to supervise the work, so Ye Mian didn't go over to join in the fun.

After feeding Dahei and making it friendlier to the new employee, she sat for a while under the trellis that was finally covered with grape vines. When she saw the sun beginning to tilt toward the west, she got up and went to the fish pond.

Although it is still a while away from the best fishing time of five o'clock, we can still catch some seafood such as kelp and seaweed, which can be added to the dishes.

Just as Ye Mian was admiring the scenery of the fish pond and occasionally reeling in her fishing rod, her skills, which had been controlled freely, suddenly sensed something, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at the stone path on the side.

After hesitating for a long time, Qi Shu finally walked towards the fish pond.

Ye Mian paused slightly, vaguely realizing that the thing that really required her attention had come to her.

"Ms. Ye..."

Thinking about establishing rules and conducting more orderly management in the future, Ye Mian did not go out of his way to correct his address. He just put away the fishing rod and then stood up.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

Qi Shu waited for the entire day, and specifically waited until she was alone to take the photo. It was obvious that he had something unrelated to the farm.

Just as she guessed, what Qi Shu said with a pleading look on his face was related to him personally.

"You mean, you don't know whether your wife and daughter are dead or alive, or whether they have turned into mutants, and you want to go home to confirm it?"

"Yes," Qi Shu nodded, feeling extremely guilty. "I should have rushed home as soon as the power went out, but a factory was still rushing to get the machines running, so I was delayed."

Ye Mian had never thought about this. After all, from Xue Kai to Lu Ning to Chen Jia and others, when they met, they were alone, and no one mentioned their family and friends specifically.

It is very likely that Qi Shu's wife and daughter either turned into mutants or followed other survivors and left their original place of residence to seek refuge.

The chances of still being at home or nearby are slim.

But if someone like Qi Shu doesn't get an accurate answer, he will probably toss and turn every night thinking about this matter.

"Well," Ye Mian thought, "draw a route map for me, and I'll stop by to take a look next time I go out."

From yesterday, it can be seen that Qi Shu is a good man with brains, and Ye Mian is willing to help him.

Qi Shu knew that bringing him along would only be a burden, and he had never thought about going home in person. He was very grateful to receive Ye Mian's reply.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go paint it now."

Before he was about to leave, Ye Mian thought of something and called him: "Wait, where is it approximately? Is it far away?"

"In Yanshi, not far away, just across the border."

Thinking of the direction of the salt market, Ye Mian raised his eyebrows slightly: "Okay, go ahead and draw it. Remember to draw it in detail."

After watching Qi Shu leave quickly, Ye Mian sat down again. He continued to cast the fishing rod while clicking on the system interface and looking at another exploration task in the side quest.

After completing the first exploration mission yesterday, she took this one and wanted to see the specific direction so as to decide on her next travel plan.

Coincidentally, the directions were heading towards the Salt Market.

Not only can you complete tasks, but you can also help out and collect some tools and supplies along the way, which is killing three birds with one stone.

Once the farm is stable in the next two days and the management plan is finalized, go and take a look as soon as possible.

As soon as Ye Mian closed the system interface, the fishing rod in her hand sank, and she pulled it up subconsciously.
