As long as it's edible, Wenxi doesn't mind. After all, the things that are not considered good here are things that are not available in other places. It's just that the transportation and storage conditions are limited, so they can't be transported out!
However, Wenxi has a system repository, which solves all the problems.
However, the seafood in this small fishing village was not enough for Wenxi to exchange. Even though Wenxi made concessions and exchanged one pound of grain for one pound of seafood less, the grain on the cart was not used up much. So Qin Mi's acquaintances took Wenxi to other places to exchange for seafood. They went to many places before they finally finished exchanging the entire cart of grain.
Wenxi, on the other hand, harvested several truckloads of seafood. She made an excuse to send the seafood away halfway through the journey, but in reality, she stored it in the warehouse. After sending her acquaintances back, she headed to the port alone. Tomorrow morning, she planned to exchange the tens of thousands she had earned that day for fresh seafood, and then take out a truckload of grain to exchange for even more seafood.
At this time, what's lacking is food, not seafood. Compared to seafood, food that can fill our stomachs is the most important thing.
Wen Xi drove to the place Qin Mi had taken her to last time, then slipped into the system kitchen to wash up and rest. She took a nap there, and then cooked a meal.
The children in the orphanage are still young and can't digest hard, dry food, so we need to make them things that are easy to digest. In the dead of winter, a bowl of hot peanut porridge would be very comforting, but we were worried that some of the children might be allergic to peanuts, so Wenxi ultimately chose to cook sweet potato porridge instead.
Then Wenxi took another piece of pork, chopped it into minced meat, and cooked a pot of light minced meat soup to supplement the child's nutrition.
After working in the system kitchen for a while, Wenxi came out and rested in the car. When the sky began to lighten, Wenxi hurried to the port.
After that, Wenxi started selecting seafood from stall to stall, paying half the money upfront and the rest when the seafood was delivered to the truck.
Then, one by one, the stall owners delivered the seafood that Wenxi had ordered to the car. After everyone had left, Wenxi stored the seafood in the system warehouse.
Some seafood is quite resilient, and Wenxi decided that if she ever finds a fishpond suitable for raising seafood, she will keep the seafood there. So she doesn't take out the particularly fresh ones to eat.
After receiving the seafood, Wenxi drove back. She drove directly to the Qin family's gate and delivered a bag of dried seafood to them. She gave them about ten pounds of fresh seafood, since there were only a few people in the Qin family who ate there, and it would be a waste to give them too much.
In addition, they gave Uncle Qin 10,000 pills for two years and 10,000 pills for one year, because some people are unwilling to wait that long before having children again.
Wenxi also didn't understand. People say that when you're well-fed and warm, you start thinking about sex. If you don't even have enough food to eat, why do you keep thinking about having children? You can't afford to raise them, yet you still have them, making them suffer with you. Isn't that immoral?
Afterwards, Wen Xi refused the Qin family's offer to stay and drove the car directly to the orphanage gate, calling Xu Yinmei, Fang Zhiruo, and several other employees she was not very familiar with to come and move the supplies.
"Sister Yinmei, I've found some grain for our orphanage: 300 catties each of sorghum, oats, buckwheat, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and jicama; 100 catties each of radishes, Chinese cabbage, carrots, and onions; and 50 catties each of rice and wheat flour. That should be enough for the children to eat for quite a while."
"Liangliang, thank you so much!" Xu Yinmei said excitedly. She never expected that her trip would actually bring back so much food.
Two thousand kilograms of food is certainly enough to feed the children for a while.
“Sister Yinmei, I also brought back two hundred catties of seafood. Sea fish have bones, so they're not good for children to eat, but shrimp and shellfish don't have bones, so we can cook them for the kids,” Wenxi said.
Xu Yinmei nodded gratefully, "Liangliang, you've really helped us a lot. Now we don't have to worry about the children going hungry anymore."
Afterwards, everyone moved the supplies to the warehouse next to the orphanage kitchen. The seafood was fresh and had to be eaten as soon as possible, so they had to cook the seafood for the next two days. Therefore, everyone put the seafood on the outside.
"Sister Yinmei, just boil the shrimp and give them to the kids. The shellfish can be used to make soup, or we can cook seafood porridge for everyone. That way it'll be easier," Wenxi suggested.
Xu Yinmei hesitated before saying, "Liangliang, we're not good at cooking seafood. How about you help us cook it, and I'll learn from you? Is that alright?"
Wenxi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. Then the two of them went to the kitchen, where Wenxi began to teach Xu Yinmei how to make multigrain seafood porridge. As she cooked, Wenxi said, "Sister Yinmei, didn't I bring back fifty catties of rice and fifty catties of flour? From now on, can we make rice porridge for the children once a week and steam buns for them once a week?"
Xu Yinmei nodded. "Liangliang, I know you're thinking of the child. Don't worry, we will definitely make good use of everything you brought back. We will absolutely not let you down."
"Thank you very much, Sister Yinmei," Wenxi said with a smile.
The staff at the orphanage can eat with her, but she will absolutely not allow anyone to resell her supplies or mistreat these young children.
After all the children had enjoyed the delicious seafood porridge, Wenxi went to deliver the seafood to the post office staff. Wenxi didn't ask for money because she didn't know if the money here could be used in the real world. So she asked the staff to buy stamps with the money and then come back to her to exchange them for the seafood.
After the transaction was completed, Wenxi returned the car to Qin Mi's acquaintance. After that, Wenxi started selling grain from house to house in the vicinity. She didn't want money, only old objects, antiques, gold, jewelry, jade, calligraphy and paintings, and black coins.
At this time, wealthy people still had display shelves in their homes, displaying these things. However, in a few years, these things would become a nuisance. Wenxi transferred these things to her own hands, which can be considered a way of protecting them.
Moreover, everyone was smart enough to know that food was the most precious commodity at this time, so Wenxi used the food to exchange for many of the old items that everyone treasured, as well as the things she wanted.
Because Wenxi traveled around, she naturally knew where the black market was. However, she didn't want to make money on the black market because she didn't need the money there. So, Wenxi took 10,000 jin of sweet potatoes and exchanged them for many boxes of old items from the black market.
Since the drought began, people have been trading old items for food on the black market, so the black market has now accumulated quite a few old items.
