Xu Lin felt that she really had the potential to do business. She had previously opened a seafood shop at the Beijing base and sold handbags with Sister Chen next door. Now she was going to exchange goods with the villagers of Yuanshan Farm.
Future career plans could lean towards opening a grocery store or running a chain of supermarkets.
Yuanshan Farm sounds like the name of a farm, but it's actually the name of a village. Many rural areas in the northern province are called farms, and Xu Lin only found out this after she got to know the villagers of Yuanshan Farm.
The next morning, while Xu Lin and Zhou Pin were having breakfast, the alarm installed outside the fence went off. This was a newly installed alarm system that would alert Zhou Pin if anyone was within 20 meters of the fence.
"It's Shu Ling'er!"
Xu Lin stuffed the jianbing guozi into her mouth in a few bites and headed for the door. Zhou Pin, who was following behind Xu Lin, looked helpless. He had finally managed to get Sun Wei and the others out so he could enjoy some alone time with Xu Lin, but now this third wheel had arrived.
"I arrived early because I was in a hurry to exchange supplies and go back. Did I disturb your meal?" Shu Ling'er said with a guilty look.
"It's alright, it's alright, come in." Xu Lin opened the gate.
This time, Shu Ling'er brought about ten men, each carrying herbs. Xu Lin was stunned by the sheer quantity of herbs; there was just too much in stock.
"Because we exchanged a lot of supplies this time, we brought a lot of herbs. Can you handle them?" Shu Ling'er asked awkwardly, seeing Xu Lin's surprise.
"It's okay, it's fine. What do you want to exchange this time?" Xu Lin led them to sit down on the stone in front of the container door.
"I'd like to exchange some daily necessities, like toilet paper, soap, and shampoo," Shu Ling'er said.
Xu Lin had already accumulated a mountain of all the things Shu Ling'er mentioned in her space, so exchanging some for them would be no problem. However, when it came to soap, Xu Lin suddenly remembered that she still had soap pods in her space. She had collected them when she was gathering supplies on the mountain, but because she had been busy, she had left them there without planting them.
This temporary camp isn't suitable for planting now, but it could be planted in the space to exchange for resources later, or to make soap.
Time-travel novels often depict characters using soapberries to wash their hair and bathe when there's no shampoo or soap, and soapberry seeds can be used to make sweet soup...
The herbs Shu Ling'er brought this time were exchanged for 100 toothbrushes, 80 tubes of toothpaste, 20 bars of soap, and two rolls of toilet paper. The toilet paper was for the village children; the adults couldn't afford to use it. These items are currently non-renewable and priceless. Shu Ling'er knew that Xu Lin was taking care of them, and she felt even more strongly that Xu Lin was a good person.
As for Xu Lin, these were all items she collected from the live-streaming company when she was collecting supplies. She had more than enough good toothpaste and toothbrushes in her storage space, so she never had a chance to use these no-name brands. It was nice to give them away as a favor.
Xu Lin felt that Shu Ling'er was capable of great things. Just look at how she, a twenty-something college graduate, led the villagers through a cannibalistic apocalypse and knew she was no ordinary person.
Xu Lin had previously researched that soapberry seeds contain abundant galactomannan gum and protein components. Due to its unique rheological properties, galactomannan gum is used as a thickener, stabilizer, adhesive, gelling agent, flotation agent, flocculant, dispersant, etc., and is widely used in industries such as oil drilling and extraction, food and medicine, textile printing and dyeing, mining and mineral processing, military explosives, daily chemical ceramics, building coatings, wood processing, papermaking, and pesticides.
