Chapter 167: Get Out If You Don’t Change
"Of course, if you are willing to catch the centipede yourself, I will call someone else." Leng Yi said.
There are still a lot of centipedes in the mountains now. Some people can catch hundreds of kilograms a day, which means more than two kilograms of food.
Of course, the work here will be easier, it depends on their own considerations.
The other person hesitated for a moment and felt that it was more promising to follow Leng Yi. Director Hao had just been here, so he must be reliable.
"I'll come tomorrow too," the man said. "Brother Yi, my name is Lin Feng. You can call me Xiao Lin or A Feng."
"Okay!" Leng Yi handed the food to the two of them, "You don't have to come too early tomorrow, just come after breakfast."
"Don't touch the iron door with your hands. It will be powered on when we are not outside. Just ring the doorbell when you come."
"Got it, Brother Yi." The two of them happily left with the food, then turned around and waved, "Brother Yi, goodbye!"
"See you tomorrow!" Leng Yi nodded.
After moving all the centipedes into the room, Lu Lin came over to help move the scale, while Yang Qing threw all the centipedes into the space.
"You must be tired. Go into the space and take a shower first, then come out to eat." Yang Qing said to Leng Yi.
Now the space can support living things, so just put Leng Yi in there alone.
There are fewer centipedes outside now. Yang Qing glued iron mesh screens to the holes so that centipedes could not get in, and the air conditioner could be used again.
After Leng Yi finished taking a shower, he called out from inside and Yang Qing brought him out.
Leng Yi said while wiping his wet hair, "I saw a yellow ball the size of a ping-pong ball in the sky above me. Is that the energy absorbed by the centipede?"
Yang Qing was surprised. "It's the size of a ping-pong ball now? When I went in this afternoon, it was only the size of a red date. It seems like I've gained quite a lot today."
Leng Yi nodded, "At least several thousand kilograms today."
"By the way, what did you talk about when Director Hao came today?" Leng Yi asked again.
"I told him that centipedes are edible and the benefits of purchasing centipedes. He also thought it was feasible and said that he would go back and have someone do some research. If centipedes are indeed edible, he would bring food to us to help purchase the centipedes." Yang Qing said.
"That's great, we don't have to prepare food first." Leng Yi said with a smile.
"I think so too. Besides, we have hired two people now and we have to pay them wages and salaries. We can't lose money at their expense. I asked Director Hao for a 1% commission. Is that too much?" Yang Qing said.
"It's not too much. If it weren't for us, they might not have come up with this idea. Besides, we work so hard, so we deserve some hard work pay."
"That means you are kind. If you were a capitalist, they might ask for 10%, no, maybe even 50%." Leng Yi said.
Yang Qing nodded. She just didn't want to make money from disasters and rob the country. She could go outside to find supplies, or even rob the bad guys, but she disdained to make money from this kind of disasters because it would make her feel guilty.
After dinner, the three of them went back to their room early to rest. They were all exhausted after a long day.
Yang Qing lay on the bed, looking sideways at Leng Yi and touching his face, "You've gotten tanned these past two days outside."
"What's wrong? Have you become uglier?" Leng Yi smiled and grabbed Yang Qing's hand to cover his face.
Her hands are soft and smooth, and feel very comfortable to touch.
Yang Qing shook his head. "He's not ugly, he's still handsome. It doesn't matter if a man is a little darker. Besides, he's not that dark."
Leng Yi laughed, "When we were soldiers, we were so tanned. We trained outside every day, and sometimes we even worked at sea. We were all tanned like charcoal."
"Am I tanned today too?" Yang Qing asked, raising her face and moving closer to Leng Yi.
He held Yang Qing in his arms and bent down to kiss her, "You're not dark, you're still as white as ever. Even if you're a little darker, it doesn't matter. In my heart, you're more beautiful than anyone else."
Yang Qing smiled, "Why are you so sweet?"
I really couldn't tell before. When I first met him, I really thought he was aloof and indifferent, and didn't seem like someone who was easy to get along with.
After a long time, I realized that he was actually a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
"There are sweeter ones, do you want to try them?" Leng Yi pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
"Aren't you tired? You've been busy all day." Yang Qing's cheeks flushed and her eyes were wet.
"You underestimate your husband's physical strength. It was common for us to train without sleep for several days and nights..." Leng Yi lowered his head and kissed him.
The next day, Li Liang and Lin Feng came over around 8:30, as they were afraid that if they came too early, people would not have gotten up yet.
I rang the doorbell and Leng Yi came out to open the door.
After one night, there were a lot more centipedes in the yard, and the two of them hurried to help clean them up.
Yang Qing walked out of the door, "Xiao Li, Xiao Lin, have you had breakfast?"
"We've eaten, sister-in-law!" the two of them responded quickly.
Yang Qing took out four meat buns, two for each person, and said, "Come, eat buns."
Li Liang quickly waved his hand, "No need, sister-in-law, we really have eaten."
"Just take it if I tell you to eat it." Leng Yi said.
Li Liang and Lin Feng quickly wiped their hands on their bodies. It was impossible to wash hands with water due to the water shortage. It would be sick if they ate dirty food.
He took the bun and smiled shyly at Yang Qing, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Yang Qing smiled and walked into the room without saying anything.
The two of them were eating buns and were so moved that they almost cried. It was the first time they had eaten meat buns in such a long time since the apocalypse, and they were so delicious.
After eating one, both of them wanted to leave one for their family, but then they thought that the bun would definitely go bad after working all day in such hot weather, so they decided to just eat it.
After eating the buns, he worked even harder to kill centipedes, cleaning up every corner of the yard, the walls, and the top floor.
After that, more people came to exchange food.
Everyone knows that centipedes can be exchanged for food, so some people stay up all night to catch centipedes, fearing that they will be too late and others will have caught them all.
There weren't many people around, so Leng Yi sat inside and watched Li Liang and Lin Feng exchanging money outside.
Suddenly, two young men dressed in designer clothes came over.
"We need to change into two sets of protective clothing," one of them said.
Leng Yi looked at them and saw that they didn't have any centipedes in their hands. He couldn't help but say, "One set of protective clothing is worth a thousand kilograms of centipedes."
"A thousand kilograms of centipedes is just ten kilograms of food, isn't it?" the man curled his lips. "Here are twenty kilograms of food, take a look."
After saying that, he threw the food at Leng Yi's feet and looked at him with disdain.
Leng Yi didn't move, and glanced at the two of them calmly. "I told you, one set of protective suits weighs one thousand kilograms of centipedes, and two sets weighs two thousand kilograms of centipedes. We only want centipedes, not food!"
"Hey, you're right, two thousand kilograms of centipedes is only twenty kilograms of food. What's the difference? We didn't lose anything from you, so what are you talking about?"
"He's just a stinky centipede-changer, why are you so proud?" The two men looked at each other with contempt.
Li Liang and Lin Feng stopped and looked at the two men, with some anger on their faces.
Leng Yi sneered, "Yes, I am just a stinky centipede exchanger. I only want centipedes. You can exchange them or not. If you don't want to exchange them, get out!"
"You!" The two were furious. "Okay, you want a centipede, right?"
The two looked at the people queuing up to exchange for food, "Someone of you, exchange the centipede for me, and these food will be yours."
The people behind looked at each other in bewilderment, but the centipedes in everyone's hands weighed only one or two hundred kilograms at most, and some only a few dozen kilograms. How could they exchange them for two thousand kilograms if he wanted?
