Zhou Wei put the two items back into the system space.
She was extremely careful every time she used the system, afraid that there might be a camera somewhere that she hadn't noticed and that her act of taking things from the system's warehouse would be recorded.
She didn't want to be taken to a research institute to be a guinea pig.
When Zhou Wei returned from the restroom, her colleagues couldn't help but start complaining.
"Weiwei, why are you taking so long to go to the restroom? Hurry up and start cooking, we have several more takeout orders."
"Okay, right away," Zhou Wei smiled apologetically at her colleague, then immediately ran back to her seat and began making milk tea.
This milk tea shop is located right at the entrance of Zhou Wei's school. She usually works part-time here when she doesn't have classes. It costs 15 yuan an hour, which doesn't seem like much, but working for two hours can earn her a day's living expenses.
For Zhou Wei, even the smallest mosquito bite is still a treat.
When Zhou Wei returned to her dorm room, it was already evening. Her roommates were either lying in bed playing games or watching TV series, occasionally letting out bursts of laughter.
Zhou Wei quietly took a shower, then climbed into bed and started using her phone to search for where to buy jade bracelets and ginseng, and which stores had the best reputation.
Zhou Wei worked on her research until midnight before finally putting down her phone and falling into a deep sleep.
After running around for three days, Zhou Wei finally managed to sell both items.
The jade bracelet sold for 260,000 yuan, and the ginseng sold for 230,000 yuan, totaling nearly 500,000 yuan.
There were some twists and turns in the process of selling things, because Zhou Wei didn't know much about this area and mainly relied on comparing prices from different vendors.
She asked the price at each store and then chose the one that offered the highest price.
If you still get scammed, you'll just have to accept your fate.
In fact, the value of ginseng from this year is far more than 230,000, but because it was not properly preserved after harvesting, its value was greatly reduced, and the price was cut in half.
Looking at the newly minted 500,000 yuan in her card, Zhou Wei was filled with emotion. She never imagined she could have so much money.
Well, strictly speaking, this money doesn't really belong to her; she's just a wage earner.
Over the weekend, Zhou Wei bought the items on the supply list that Xia Qingqing had given her in batches and then sent them to Xia Qingqing.
After that, she got busy with the business of opening a grain and oil store, mainly renting a shop and getting the relevant permits. The later procurement of goods was actually easy to handle, as she had the phone numbers of several wholesalers.
......
After Xia Qingqing finished purchasing things from Zhou Wei, she immediately sent Ali a video call invitation.
It just so happens that Ali and his tribesmen are out hunting at that moment.
Orcs are usually in their primitive form when hunting, so Xia Qingqing could see through the system panel that a huge tiger was biting a wild boar's neck hard. The wild boar struggled a few times and slowly lost its breath.
Having dealt with the wild boar, the tiger quickly chased after it to another location.
Ali didn't chase after her. He knew Xia Qingqing wasn't used to his beast form, so he immediately transformed back into human form and gave Xia Qingqing a silly grin: "Goddess, what can I do for you?"
It took Xia Qingqing a few seconds to recover from the scene before she explained her needs.
Ali remained as respectful as ever towards Xia Qingqing. When Xia Qingqing said she needed 5 wild boars, 5 wild buffaloes, and 10 wild sheep, he agreed without even asking about the payment.
"We're hunting right now, we'll teleport you there in a bit."
"Ali, is there anything your tribe is lacking?" Although Ali didn't mention any payment, Xia Qingqing couldn't possibly give him nothing.
When Ali heard Xia Qingqing's question, he tilted his head and thought for a moment: "The knife you gave us last time was pretty good. Could you give us a few more?"
The orcs' claws are extremely sharp, making it easy for them to cut their prey, but not for the females.
Previously, the females used bone knives specially made by the orcs to cook, until Xia Qingqing remembered that there were no iron products in the original plane, so she gave Ali a few kitchen knives.
These kitchen knives immediately won the favor of the females. This thing called a kitchen knife was much easier and lighter than those bulky bone knives, and it was also much sharper.
The only downside is that they're not very durable; those kitchen knives already have chips on them.
Ali had heard the females complain about this, so when Xia Qingqing asked him what he wanted, he said a kitchen knife.
Xia Qingqing rummaged through the system's inventory and found several kitchen knives and cleavers. She also found a few sets of pots, pans, and other utensils and sent them all to Ali.
Ali looked happily at the extra items in the system's inventory: "Thank you, Goddess."
Over the past year, their Tiger Tribe has undergone tremendous changes. The modern items Xia Qingqing gave them are secondary; the most practical things are the skills they have learned.
For example, fire, which was once considered a precious treasure, is no longer valuable because everyone in the Tiger Tribe has mastered the technique of making fire by friction, and can simply rekindle the fire whenever it goes out.
The matches and lighters that Xia Qingqing gave them would eventually run out, but the technique of making fire by friction could be passed down forever.
Other technologies are similarly valuable treasures of the Tiger Tribe.
Ali believed that with these precious technologies, their tribe would one day become the largest and strongest tribe on the entire continent.
——
The other side, the apocalyptic dimension.
Gu Yunshu woke up to find Xia Qingqing had sent her supplies, filling her system warehouse to the brim, which made her smile with delight.
I quickly got up, brushed my teeth, washed my face, ate breakfast, and went to the store.
With limited stock remaining in the store, she tidied up some of the supplies from the system warehouse and placed them on designated shelves according to their categories.
After checking that there were no problems, Gu Yunshu opened the shop door.
When the door opened, there was no scene of a large group of people rushing in to buy things as I had imagined.
Everyone in the base has their own things to do. The superhumans need to go out on missions, and the researchers and leaders in the central area also need to go to work as usual. They can't be guarding Gu Yunshu's shop all the time.
Another point is that food prices in Yunshu are not low. Most people only buy food occasionally to improve their lives, and at other times they still use contribution points to exchange for cheaper food at the base.
Therefore, Gu Yunshu's daily life is relatively leisurely. If she were busy every day, she wouldn't be so interested in opening a shop.
"Sister Yunshu, I'm here again~", Xie Yue's voice came even before she could be seen.
Gu Yunshu smiled when she heard the familiar voice. The next second, she saw Xie Yue skipping in, followed by a tall figure.
