Chapter 370: Beauty I Don’t Understand
"I have arranged for people to make coal in Changhe County. Fortunately, we have the honeycomb coal you gave us. It can burn longer and keep us warm longer."
Their ancient gold and silver charcoal were certainly better than coal, and could produce a woody aroma when burned, but they had a short burning time and were difficult to make, so they were generally only used by the royal family. Nobles and capable merchants could also get some.
Coal is more practical. Lin Xinhuan said that floor heating and air conditioning are the real warmth, but their world lacks electricity and materials, so they can't install them at all. Zhu Linlang can only drool in her dreams~
Thinking of the experiment she had just made, Zhu Linlang couldn't help but smile.
"It's almost the coldest time of winter. Soldiers' limbs tend to become stiff in the cold weather, and it's even more dangerous to deal with zombies. I plan to rest for a while."
Zhu Linlang's tone was somewhat regretful. They were unable to move easily, and so were others. In fact, winter was the best time for sneak attacks.
"How about this? I can help you with this batch of goods. I believe that the contribution points I sell are not small. Linlang, are you ready for the crystal core?"
"Get ready. The hardship you've endured during this period is not in vain. There are a total of twenty-nine of them!"
The God-given Army was hunting zombies desperately. Some cities did not dare to resist at all and obediently opened their gates to let the God-given Army in.
"It's even more brutal than a man-eating monster. I can't afford to offend it. It's better to surrender and save my life."
After they had tidied everything, they told their staff to put everything on the shelves. Upon hearing the news, Zhu Qingyue, Gardenia and Lihua all rushed over to help.
As soon as the store door opened, the people who were still chatting at the door rushed in without saying a word. One of them said, "I went to check the farmland this morning. The weather is too cold. It's hard to grow crops in winter. What do you want to plant in the spring?"
His eyes were fixed on the door: "The door is open!" He paid no attention to who he was talking to, and rolled up his legs to squeeze into the crowd.
The person he was talking to had already read the reply in a garbled manner: "I have to deliver coal this afternoon. Ah, the door is open!" Squeezed in the crowd, he had already forgotten who he had just talked to and what he had said.
Their entire attention was focused on the legendary, light, cheap, and warm item. They simply could not imagine that clothing could be both light and warm. In their minds, only clothes with more and denser cotton could keep them warm.
Not long ago, people were discussing: "It's impossible. It's simply a fantasy. Even gods can't create such clothes."
"I'm not making this up. The security team told me that it's sold in the branch. How could it be fake?"
"It's so mysterious, shall we go and take a look together?"
The two looked at each other and followed the crowd to the branch.
The result is......
"Oh my god! This bright red color is so beautiful! I have never worn such a bright red dress even when I got married."
"There is such a beautiful purple, so rich, it must be a new color, it must look good when worn!"
"What is this? It has two layers. It's not heavy at all. Putting your hand inside feels like putting it on a stove. It's so warm~"
Someone put his hand into his sleeve and said, "It's completely different from what we're wearing. It's not made of cotton or linen, nor is it made of silk or satin. I've never seen any noble person wearing it."
"Isn't it light and warm? It's perfect for us to wear when we work. With it, we don't have to worry about being cold and unable to go out and make contributions."
They are really worried about how to get through this winter. What was it like in previous years?
Even without the zombies, they were still trapped at home and unable to go out. The whole family had only a few intact thick clothes and pants. Whoever wanted to go out could wear them, and the others could stay in their beds and not move, which saved food and kept warm.
In the winter with zombies, the poor people's life was not much different from usual. Some people even grew some flesh during their time in Zhujiazhuang.
They want to live a better life and don't want to go back to the old days. Now as long as they can work, they can eat well, have education, and have hope in life.
Without contribution points, you won’t be able to enjoy the flashlight as bright as daylight, the clean napkins, the black water bubbling in your mouth, the oily and fragrant instant noodles...
Even if the weather is cold, you should do more work outside.
"This is a combat jacket. It has three layers. You can wear the outer layer alone. It is waterproof and oil-proof." Lin Xinhuan poured a glass of water on the clothes.
The speed was so fast that Zhu Qingyue didn't dare to open her eyes to watch. The people lamented that a good new piece of clothing was ruined, and they didn't know how long it would take to dry it. Everyone knows the nightmare of cotton clothes getting wet in winter, which is equivalent to not being able to go out for half a month or a month.
So their cotton-padded jackets all have a cover that is put over the inner part of the jacket. When it gets dirty, they wash the outer cover, but the inner part of the jacket may only be washed once in a lifetime.
"The water droplets slipped away?"
Unexpectedly, there was no stain on the clothes. The person nearby was unconvinced and touched it with his hand. He was stunned: "It's really not wet!"
"Isn't it possible to wear it even when it rains? Is this a water-proofing technique from the gods? It must have some mermaid waterproof beads!"
"Also, this is the fleece layer, and this is the down layer. You can wear it in spring, autumn, and winter."
Zhu Qingyue had seen all kinds of good things, and had worn a lot of fabrics specially supplied to the royal family. Could this be the fabric worn by the gods in heaven? She became more and more certain of Lin Xinhuan's identity.
"Only 2,000 contribution points! That's the price of two roast chickens! I'll have one!"
"I want one too. I want this bright yellow one. It looks so bright."
"Purple, I want purple. I've never seen purple clothes before."
There were also gloves, hot water bottles, thermal underwear, sweaters, etc. that were convenient for activities, but they were all sold out. It was as if no one wanted to contribute, as people were afraid that they would miss out and so they bought them like crazy.
The people who were outside and didn't get in were as anxious as fleas: "Leave a few for me!"
Zhu Qingyue looked nervous and wanted to say something, but Zhu Linlang patted her hands gently. The two sisters were in sync, and Zhu Qingyue calmed down and helped everyone pick up the goods and pay the bill.
It was empty. Only Lin Xinhuan and a few others were left in the branch. There wasn't even a layer of dust on the shelves. It was cleaner than a newly built house.
Lin Xinhuan collapsed on the counter, leaning on her arm at the side of her face. "It's not as tiring to run a large supermarket as it is to run a branch store. The modern world is suitable for lazy people like me."
Lazy people create a better life. Even if there is a long queue at Lingshan Supermarket, Lin Xinhuan does not need to show up. Customers will settle the bill themselves, which means that Lin Xinhuan can hear the sound of money coming into the account while lying in bed.
After the zombies appeared in the town of Shenshan, Lin Xinhuan thought that it would affect the business of Lingshan Supermarket and Lingshan B&B, but unexpectedly it became even more popular!
Due to the speed with which the country dealt with the zombies, zombies are harder to come by in inland cities than national treasures. Some people come to Kinabalu specifically to see the zombies. Lin Xinhuan never thought that zombies would become an exclusive tourist attraction?
