Chapter 6 Delicious Instant Noodles
After hearing this, some smart people, regardless of whether they believed it or not, decided to buy more gold while not many people knew about it.
As for some people, they ignored Bai Yuanyuan's repeated warnings and planned to go in and rob the supermarket if there really was such a supermarket, kill the owner, and occupy the supermarket.
When Liu Wutong was carrying a full bag of instant noodles home, her 9-year-old sister was weaving straw sandals.
The grass used to weave straw sandals is called vampire grass, a new kind of grass that grows after the end of the world and sucks human blood when it is alive.
It would be fine if there were no wounds on the person's body.
If someone has a wound on their body, the blood-sucking grass will quickly grow into the person's flesh along the wound and suck the person dry.
It will not only attack humans, but also some mutant animals that are weaker than it.
Moreover, the vitality of the vampire grass is extremely tenacious. It can survive well regardless of extreme cold or extreme heat, acid rain or tsunamis.
It grows fast.
There is a large area of it growing outside the Sun Base.
The person in charge of the base will have the psychic team conduct a concentrated cleanup once a month.
Otherwise, some people with special abilities might get injured accidentally while going out, and when they come back and get close to the vampire grass, they will be sucked dry.
However, dried vampire grass is quite suitable for making straw sandals. It is tough and not easy to rot.
It has been ten years since the end of the world, and the shoe factories that used to produce them have long been washed away by floods.
After experiencing a series of disasters such as floods, high temperatures, acid rain, etc., many preserved shoes were completely destroyed.
Some ordinary people can't even wear the shoes worn before the end of the world.
Those who are able and wealthy can use the fur of mutant animals to make shoes, but those who are really poor can only wear straw sandals.
The psychic team clears the blood-sucking grass once a month, so there is no shortage of materials needed to make straw sandals.
Therefore, most people who make straw sandals only earn a fee from the labor.
Capable people look down on this.
Only those who are unable to go out to find supplies, or those who are too old, sick, or young to complete base missions would do this.
There are many people like this in the Sun Base.
So there are many people making straw sandals. When there are more people, naturally more straw sandals are made. When there are more straw sandals made, naturally they are less valuable.
A pair of straw sandals is only worth one contribution point, but a skilled person will need at least four hours to make a pair of straw sandals.
After the vampire grass is cut down, it becomes very hard and needs to be exposed to the sun for a period of time. After being exposed to the sun, it needs to be rubbed repeatedly before it becomes soft. Only after it becomes soft can it be used to make shoes.
It takes a lot of time and earns little.
But many people have no choice.
It is better to earn less than to earn nothing.
A pair of shoes that took so much time to make is only worth one contribution point, but the cheapest mutant mashed potatoes in the base cost 5 contribution points to buy a small bowl.
Liu Wutong's sister is Liu Piaoxu. The nine-year-old child looks like a shriveled bean sprout due to lack of nutrition and poor diet.
His hair is yellow and thin, all over his body, except for his head, which is big.
Liu Piaoxu was rubbing a few blood-sucking grasses. Her two little hands were covered in blood, but she was rubbing them very seriously, as if she didn't feel any pain.
"Piaoxu! Didn't I tell you not to make straw sandals anymore?"
When Liu Wutong saw this scene, he put down the bag in his hand, rushed forward, grabbed Liu Piaoxu's hand, and asked her to throw away the vampire grass.
"elder sister!"
"You're back!" Liu Piaoxu was very happy to see her sister come back.
"It's okay, I'm almost done rubbing it. I can make shoes soon." Liu Piaoxu was held by Liu Wutong's hand, his eyes still staring at the vampire grass on the ground.
"Stop it! I've told you so many times! You're still so young! Why make shoes? You don't want a pair of good hands! Sister tells you, sister will work hard, sister will make sure you have enough to eat! Sister is a superpower, sister will find a lot of food!" Liu Wutong couldn't help it, tears fell as she spoke.
She hated it so much, really hated it.
Why let her sister be born in the era.
"Sister, don't cry. Sister, don't cry."
Liu Wutong was crying, and Liu Piaoxu was struggling to catch her tears.
"I was wrong, sister." Liu Piaoxu was a little overwhelmed. Liu Wutong rarely cried in front of her. In front of her, Liu Wutong had always been a sister who stood up for herself.
"I'm sorry, sister is sorry to you. I wish I could be a little stronger." Liu Wutong hugged her small body, her eyes reddening.
"My sister is great. She raised three people by herself. I want to learn from her." Liu Piaoxu is very sensible. She has always hoped that she could awaken her special abilities as soon as possible since she was a child. She knows that it is very hard for her sister to raise three people by herself, and she wants to awaken her special abilities as soon as possible to help her sister.
Liu Wutong hugged Liu Piaoxu and adjusted his mood for a while, then took out the hemostatic medicine left by Monkey today and sprinkled a little on Liu Piaoxu's hand.
Without a bandage, Liu Wutong could only find a clean piece of clothing and tear it to wrap it around the wound.
During this period, Liu Piaoxu watched Liu Wutong applying medicine on her wound with great distress. When she saw Liu Wutong tearing his clothes, she felt even more heartbroken.
"Sister. Such nice clothes cannot be torn."
Liu Wutong bandaged her hands with a cold face: "It's already been torn, wrap it up."
"Where's Mom?"
"Mom went out to sell shoes. We made five pairs of shoes in the past few days! They can be sold for 5 contribution points." Liu Piaoxu felt a little proud when talking about this.
"I told you to stop doing it. You've injured your hands."
"Sister brought back a lot of delicious food today. Go find mom right away."
"Right away? But what if all the straw sandals haven't been sold yet?"
"Come back even if you're not done yet, otherwise what if Gu Honghua snatches the food away?!" Liu Wutong deliberately lowered his voice to scare her.
Gu Honghua was their neighbor, and she loved to take advantage of little things. She especially liked Liu Wutong's family, because there were only two women and one child in the family. Gu Honghua thought they were easy to bully, and she always took advantage of them.
Liu Wutong was in the Cheetah Squad and would occasionally catch some mutant animals and share the meat. Almost every time, Gu Honghua would take advantage of the opportunity. Unfortunately, her mother was a coward, so two-thirds of the good piece of meat would be taken away by Gu Honghua.
Liu Piaoxu hates her the most.
"I'll go, I'll call mom back right away, sister, please lock the door."
Liu Piaoxu shuddered with fright.
My sister is a person with special abilities and she is often not at home and goes out to look for supplies.
Gu Honghua also knew that her sister was the most powerful person in the family, so she often took advantage of her sister's absence to steal things.
Gu Honghua Honghua is the person Liu Piaoxu hates and fears the most.
Despite its small body, it runs very fast.
Hearing that Gu Honghua might come to snatch food, Liu Piaoxu ran quickly to call her mother.
Liu Wutong began to pick instant noodles from the bag.
She originally wanted to eat pickled cabbage or spicy beef, which were her two favorite flavors before the end of the world.
But considering that she and her mother haven't eaten it for several years, eating something too spicy might cause stomachache. Also, my sister is young and has never eaten such spicy food.
I just ordered the chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Hahaha, do many people hate a certain chef's chicken stewed with mushrooms? I used to like it. After eating the noodles, I used to lie to my friends that the soup was chicken soup.
