If she had looked carefully, she would have found that those boys, due to the gender differences and their unfamiliarity with her, wanted to say something naughty but couldn't, and their faces turned red.
"I'm not pregnant. I just said I was pregnant with two babies."
She stepped back and opened the car door.
"I'm here to set up a stall. Today I'm selling rice dumplings."
The car door was opened, and with it came a cool breeze, as refreshing as if the air conditioner was on.
Logically speaking, they live in a cave surrounded by stone walls, which is the best natural place to cool off.
However, in order to resist the zombies, they only left ventilation holes, and they didn't even dare to light too many fires, for fear that there would not be enough oxygen in the cave. It was still a bit stuffy with so many people staying together without ventilation.
The moment the car door opened, I could breathe freely.
"Just let me marry my sister, even if I have to be her concubine~~~~"
"I'll be the eldest wife."
"No, I will be the first wife and you will be the concubine."
"Stop acting, you two, or you'll scare people away."
"No, we seem to have missed the point. The point should be... there are zongzi!!!"
The chattering girls finally reacted and formed a circle around Xie Pu Rou.
Maya was straightforward and grasped the point, asking directly: "What are we going to buy it with?"
"You can buy it by exchanging crystal cores for points. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and each person's first rice dumpling is worth ten points." Xie Pu Rou said as she returned to the RV and took out the long-missed small blackboard, on which were the exchange rules and the ratio of crystal cores to points.
As soon as the small blackboard was lit up, everyone gathered around to watch. The cave, lit by only a few sparks, was not bright enough to begin with, and with everyone gathering around, it became even darker and nothing could be seen clearly.
Xie Purou shouted to the two men guarding the gate, "Brother, the zombies outside should have left. Why don't we open the door and talk it out?"
"Judging from the noise, he should have left. Should we open the door?" The male gold-type mutant asked for everyone's opinion.
They live together for a long time and are more respectful to the girls they live with. They are all high-quality people and it is easy to communicate with each other. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to get along for so long and still live in peace.
The girls still had concerns: "Why don't we be careful when eating? What if the zombies come back?"
"As long as I'm here, the zombies won't come."
Xie Purou felt that it was her responsibility to ensure consumers felt at ease when purchasing, and she did not hide it at the moment.
"Have you noticed that my car is like it's air-conditioned after I took it out?"
The girls were guided by her and nodded their heads like rattles.
She raised her head slightly, her face full of conviction in the firelight: "So I have advanced technology. The zombies will definitely not come near me."
Maybe it's because she has an aura of friendliness that makes it easy for people to believe what she says.
The girls hesitated: "How about we open the door and eat something first? At worst, we can run back when the zombies come."
"Yes, we have three psychic abilities here. We can hold off the zombies for a while. Let's open the door."
The girls said so, and the two boys guarding the gate had no objection. They walked to the cave entrance and retracted their special powers.
However, they were still very cautious and only opened a small hole, enough for one person to pass through.
One of them went out to explore the surroundings, and only after making sure there were no zombies outside did he use up all his supernatural powers.
Xie Pu Rou took the initiative to put the RV back into the space, and then went outside the door to take the car out.
The people in the cave gathered around to check the small blackboard, and this time they could see the words on the blackboard clearly.
Xie Purou walked to the open space next to her, waved her hand, and brought out the entire set of tables and chairs.
Since there was space for tables and chairs, she added a few more sets, making a total of ten sets.
Others were so angry that their eyes were about to burst: "Sister, you are really well-equipped..."
"You're a professional."
In the end, they still didn't believe that someone could sell rice dumplings in the apocalypse, but now seeing her professional look, they were mostly convinced.
Xie Purou smiled but did not answer.
The girls were struggling with the question of how to address her: "What should we call you? Is it better to call you sister or boss?"
"Call the owner." She was putting items out in the RV and didn't even raise her eyelids when she heard it.
"Okay, shopkeeper, I'll be frank with you. We don't have any crystal cores..." The girl looked embarrassed, but had to say it anyway.
Maya was pulled aside and no one knew what she was saying, but she must have understood the whole story.
He walked over and said, "The members of our base who went out to forage took all the crystal cores away. They wanted to go to a nearby base to see if they could exchange them for some seasonings, so we don't have any crystal cores now..."
"Can we get something else in exchange?"
Bartering is very normal in the apocalypse. Before Jinghe discovered it, people in the apocalypse traded by bartering. It was definitely not that they wanted to freeload.
Xie Purou pointed at the points exchanger that had just been put out: "Sure, you can exchange anything valuable."
The points redeemer on the RV has been upgraded to an advanced redeemer, just like the one in the B&B.
Several girls gathered into a small group, whispering something to each other, then turned back to the cave and pulled out a few green plants.
Xie Purou didn't know much about plants, but she could tell that it was just an ordinary plant, not a mutant.
"This is unmutated honeysuckle, a traditional Chinese medicine."
The girl holding it had dirt on her hands. Xie Purou observed her expression and felt that she seemed reluctant to let go of the plant in her hand.
She was very confused. Since it was an ordinary Chinese medicinal herb that had not mutated, why was she reluctant to give it away?
The gold displayed showed the girl's reluctance to part with it.
[Master, the honeysuckle bud in her arms is intact and large. If classified by grade, it would be very precious.]
Xie Pu Rou was completely confused, and Jin Zi continued to explain without caring whether she could understand or not.
Honeysuckle is sun-loving and cold-resistant, and is also drought- and water-resistant, highly adaptable. Without human over-exploitation, it thrives so well in extreme heat. If I were a doctor, I wouldn't want to give it up.
After I broke the gold into pieces and told her about it, she understood. These girls were studying medicine, and they were probably reluctant to exchange the good-looking medicinal herbs for points.
They are medical students who cherish medicinal materials and will not destroy the growing environment of plants at will. It is really a smart decision to build a cola base here.
Having avoided the extreme heat, there is a natural water reservoir in the cave, which can ensure that the water will not evaporate. As for whether the water is clean or not, I don’t know.
After visiting so many bases, she always felt that there were too many people in the bases, the competitive atmosphere was very strong, and the resources were not evenly distributed. It would be better to be comfortable in a small base like this.
