A bowl of vegetable salad is neither too big nor too small. Xie Pu Rou always feels that vegetable salad will not be filling without staple food. It seems that she will have to bring a dumpling vending machine with her when she sets up a stall at another base next week.
Seeing that she was eating with relish, Xie Pu Rou sat down beside her and ate with her.
"Do you like vegetables?"
Yue Xiwen was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "I didn't like it before the apocalypse. I would not eat vegetables if I could avoid it."
"So now you..."
"I think I'm craving for grass! The more I eat, the more I think vegetable salad tastes good with this dressing."
Xie Purou could see that she really liked it, she was almost burying her head in the food while eating.
Then he asked, "Don't you like to drink?"
"I like it, but I think I'm craving vegetables right now, and the salad dressing is sweet, which would clash with the lemon fruit tea."
She stuffed the vegetables into her mouth in a few bites before starting to eat the dumplings.
"Eat a dumpling and then a sip of milk tea. There's air conditioning here. Why don't you change the name of your shop to 'Paradise on Earth'? It will be more suitable for the store."
Yue Xiwen didn't think her name was bad at all, and she casually came up with another very rustic name.
"'Paradise of the End Times' wouldn't be bad either."
He nodded after saying that, as if agreeing with himself? Cheer for himself?
Xie Purou shook her head like a rattle: "Goodbye, sister, this is a formal place! Those two names you picked are not very broadcastable!"
After signing Xie Purou's unilateral "unfair terms", Yue Xiwen contentedly had the machine taken away.
Xie Purou instructed, "The machine won't sell ice water during extremely hot weather. At most, it will be slightly cooler than normal water temperature. After the extreme heat passes, there will be iced drinks."
Yue Xiwen is not a novice without common sense. She knows that not selling iced drinks is a disguised protection for everyone.
The lemon ice drink in her mouth relieved the summer heat. Yue Xiwen looked outside and murmured, "Today is hotter than yesterday."
Without saying anything more, they all knew in their hearts what the arrival of extreme heat would bring to this already broken apocalypse.
"The base is already underway to eradicate mosquitoes. My dad reported this to the central base, but hasn't received any feedback yet. I'm not sure if they'll listen."
Yue Xiwen was full and sipped the remaining ice drink. The cold air wrapped her whole body comfortably and she felt lazy.
"Captain Yue, all the stuff has been taken outside and loaded into the car."
The team members who came to report to Yue Xiwen looked longingly at the lemonade in her hand.
Yue Xiwen looked at Xie Purou and raised the milk tea cup in her hand. "Can you take it away? I want to buy more than a hundred cups to take back for the leaders."
"Yes, you can click on the panel to place the order. Choose take-away and you can pick up the food in a while." Xie Purou taught her how to place an order.
Yue Xiwen bought a cup of milk tea for each person she brought with her, and took a lot of rice and dumplings back to the base.
After viewing the new products on the shelves, Yue Xiwen said gloomily, "Every one of them is useful, and I really want to buy them all. Why do you only release new products based on what I want?"
Xie Purou smiled: "If you want one, take one home and try it out. If it works for you, come back and buy more."
Yue Xiwen rubbed the mosquito-proof tent with her hands, unable to tell what material it was made of. "Nothing I bought from you is bad." And it's also good quality and cheap.
However, she always made bulk purchases on behalf of the base, so she bought just as much as she wanted. Of course, she couldn't come up with so many crystal cores on her own.
"Then I'll take a few of each back."
Yue Xiwen's convoy was packed again on the way back, and everyone except the driver was holding a box lunch and milk tea.
I was on edge the entire way, and before I could even breathe a sigh of relief after entering the base gate, I heard the base broadcast.
The base broadcast announced the latest news from Central Base: Meteorologists predict extreme heat waves will be expected in the near future. Please take turns lining up and purchase water from the vending machines before noon today.
Ordinary people who were doing tedious and heavy work in the base had no reaction when they heard this.
The grape food truck has also left. The supplies sold by the base agent grape food truck are three times more expensive. Ordinary people like them have some hope, but not much.
Many people were shocked by the fact that the price was only three times more expensive than the grape food truck.
The prices on the dining trucks were ridiculously low to begin with, and the base had to purchase supplies and then transport them, consuming a lot of manpower and resources, yet the prices were only three times as high.
The base is responsible for transportation, which saves everyone from the dangers they might encounter when leaving the base. People in the middle and low levels should be grateful to the base commander for his righteousness.
The price of water did not increase because it was Xie Purou who placed the machine in the base and it did not go through the base's hands.
Without the need for base-based transportation, there will naturally be no middlemen to profit from the price difference.
Yue Xiwen felt extremely heavy in his heart. The extremely hot notice issued by their base in the name of the Central Base meant that the documents they submitted were recognized by the Central Base.
The important thing is... their base is under the government, and her father, the base commander, has always been a central government official. The large amount of supplies they purchased from Grape B&B need to be supplied to the central base first.
"Team Moon is truly amazing. They can even sense extreme heat and report it to the central base in advance."
Ignoring the teasing of people around her, Yue Xiwen felt more and more that something was wrong and ran to find her father anxiously.
"Dad! What did the Central Base say?"
Yue Tonghai glanced at her and glanced behind her, but didn't see what he wanted to see.
"You're so impatient. Didn't you bring anything delicious back for your dad?"
"Dad! It's already this late and you're still thinking about that. Answer me now!"
Yue Tonghai looked serious.
"I also reported the Grape B&B's food truck stall to our base. The central base said in a communication that they would send a group of people to protect the space ability users to collect the supplies. They also allocated a sum of money for us to prepare for stockpiling supplies in advance."
"Dad!? How could you report the Grape B&B incident to him?" Yue Xiwen roared and questioned her father.
"Silly girl, where else could all these supplies come from? For example, don't you know about the constant temperature suit? Even the Central Base spent so much effort and still couldn't figure it out. We're just a small base without even a single researcher. How can we not report it truthfully?"
Yue Xiwen knew that he was not to blame for this. The base chief's responsibilities were not just to manage his own base. His father had a heavy burden on his shoulders.
"But I'm worried..."
"There's no point worrying about this and that now. You should go over there later and tell that girl that I'm sorry to her..." Yue Tonghai also felt guilty about this.
He didn't know if he was wrong to push the Grape B&B out to face the central base. He felt bad about letting a little girl face the central base.
Being in his position as the leader of a place, he inevitably has to think more.
