The night sky was exceptionally bright, and pure white snowflakes fluttered down, covering the earth in a silvery coat.
Jiang An stood on the raft, shivering from the cold wind, and couldn't help but shiver.
She wrapped herself tightly in her down jacket and clung to the small iron stove, hoping to gain some warmth from it.
As time went on, the weather grew colder and the temperature continued to drop, with the outdoor temperature falling below minus twenty degrees Celsius.
Jiang An felt his body gradually losing heat, and his hands and feet became numb.
Nevertheless, she remained steadfast on the raft, knowing that if she didn't go out to restock in time, her small shop would face a shortage of goods.
Jiang An carefully stepped onto the thick snow, each step appearing extremely difficult.
However, she did not stop, but continued walking until she reached the storage room.
After entering the storage room, Jiang An quickly replenished the required goods.
Fortunately, her crafting station has been successfully upgraded to level three, allowing her to quickly produce various basic items without the need for long waiting times.
After more than half an hour of busy work, Jiang An finally completed all the restocking work.
At this time, her shop's inventory consisted of: 100 water purifiers; 100 face masks; 100 cotton socks; 100 toilet paper; 100 cotton hats; 30 storage cabinets; 30 sofas; 30 windbreakers; 67 cabbage and pork buns; and 69 mushroom and pork buns.
There are ten shelves, each stocked with goods.
Jiang An expects this batch of inventory to last for a few days. Of course, apart from a few items, such as cotton socks, most players will buy two or three pairs.
At this moment, her shop's transaction points have accumulated to 23,569.
As night fell, the temperature in the bedroom dropped below zero.
Although Jiang An's house is no longer the most basic wooden hut, it still cannot withstand the onslaught of the cold.
The entire room seemed frozen, offering no warmth whatsoever.
Especially when she touched the wall, the bone-chilling coldness filled her with fear.
Wearing a short down jacket, Jiang An began her daily routine: practicing martial arts, swordsmanship, and archery.
Finally, she did 100 push-ups on the kang (a heated brick bed). After two hours of exercise, Jiang An felt warm all over.
As time went on, Jiang An's body underwent many changes, and his physical fitness improved significantly.
After taking a quick bath with hot water.
They went directly onto the kang (heated brick bed) wrapped in thick quilts, using the thick quilts and the kang, a source of continuous heat, to ward off the cold.
Even with ample warm clothing supplies, this was still unavoidable for Jiang An; one can only imagine how it was for other players.
Upon turning on the screen, Jiang An discovered that the regional channel's sentiment had begun to shift.
There was no despair or pessimism in the afternoon, after all, life goes on!
Another point is that the players who remain are mentally strong and will not be defeated by the difficulties they face.
"Do you have any steamed buns left? I'd like to order 12! I'll trade 5 catties of wild boar meat for them!"
After opening her private messages, Jiang An saw a message that He Zhizhou had sent earlier.
Jiang An glanced at the time: 7:45 PM.
It seems that he sent the private message after discovering that she had put meat buns on the shelves in her shop.
Jiang An: "Okay! I'll give it to you tomorrow morning?"
Then I looked at the next message, from Zhang Tianyao: "Hey, I've set your shop as a special follow. I bought a big steamed bun with cabbage and pork as soon as you put it up for sale. It was so delicious! But when I tried to buy it again, it was sold out. Do you have any left, hey? Could you spare a few for me?"
Jiang An thought for a moment, "Okay, I don't have much left. How about this, one of each type of filling!"
Zhang Tianyao: "Okay, boss, how about I trade you a bag of milk powder, 150 grams?"
After these past few days of accumulation and obtaining a spot in the second batch of island visits, Zhang Tianyao is no longer in the same predicament as before. She is much wealthier and her combat strength has also increased significantly, which is why she is willing to spend trading points to buy food at the shops.
“Okay!” Jiang An agreed immediately, considering the scarcity of milk powder.
After the transaction was completed, news came from He Zhizhou's side.
"Let's separate them. I can't preserve them. Six in the morning and six at noon. As for the filling, it's up to you!"
He Zhizhou didn't ask for so many steamed buns to eat himself, but to share them with a leader.
It was quite a coincidence that He Zhizhou reconnected with a former leader from his unit. This leader was almost 60 years old, and although he was in good physical condition due to his long service in the military, he had no problem satisfying his basic needs for food and drink in this game world.
However, one bad thing about people of their generation is that they don't know how to cook, and the food they cook is basically the same as pig slop.
He Zhizhou had been trading food with Jiang An for many years. Although his low luck contributed to this, his cooking skills weren't much better. Fortunately, he was friends with a player who was good at cooking, so he naturally had the advantage of being close to him. He could use their relationship to secure some benefits for his former superior.
After sending the message, he sent the wild boar meat over.
"receive!"
Jiang An put the wild boar meat into his backpack, and put the milk powder in the storage box, planning to make a dessert when he had time.
After replying to the message, she closed her eyes.
She knew that even more challenges awaited her tomorrow.
The night is unusually quiet tonight; no marine life has come ashore.
Perhaps it's out of pity for the players' hardships.
The first thing Jiang An did after getting up the next morning was to fill the kang (a heated brick bed) with wooden blocks, as the fire was about to go out.
After washing up with the warm water in the pot, she took out six meat buns and gave them to He Zhizhou, her loyal customer.
Then I started eating breakfast.
She took a bite of the meat bun, and the delicious meat filling and soft dough blended together in her mouth, making her let out a soft sigh.
Paired with a bowl of sweet millet porridge, it was simply a delicacy! After finishing her meal, Jiang An let out a satisfied burp.
She then went to the edge of the raft, ready to begin her day's treasure chest fishing mission.
She skillfully picked up the fishing rod and cast the hook into the sea.
The waiting time was always long and full of anticipation. Jiang sat there quietly, her eyes fixed on the sea, hoping to make a harvest as soon as possible.
An hour later, Jiang An had acquired all three stone boxes.
