Chapter 165 Planning
But she would never experience such happiness again.
Sighing deeply, Xu Sichen continued to work tirelessly as her money-giving boy.
All the things needed for subsequent infrastructure construction were moved out of the space, and the work was temporarily stopped until the first and second floors of the entire community were filled.
Coming out of the last row of buildings in the community, a collapsed ruin appeared in front of her.
Xu Sichen remembered that there was originally a residential area with a population of over a thousand people behind it, and it seemed to be called Tianshui Haoting.
It is only across the street from Central Garden, but the situation is completely different.
After the earthquake, half of a high-rise building in Central Garden collapsed, cracks appeared in three high-rise buildings, and the rest remained basically intact, which also resulted in few casualties in Central Garden.
But all the villas, houses and high-rise buildings in Tianshui Haoting were shattered.
Those who did not have time to escape were all buried underneath.
A few lucky ones who escaped the disaster were also included in the rescue group.
Xu Sichen walked around the community and found that the communities on both sides were in a similar condition to Tianshui Haoting, with almost no intact buildings.
Before the island space appeared, the base she planned was only one and a half acres of land in the central garden, after all, supplies were limited.
Although her plan required everyone staying in the base to go outside to search for supplies, she didn't understand the situation outside, so who knew how much usable supplies they could find.
She didn't want to live a tight life just for a base.
Now that there is space for the island, the central garden is no longer sufficient.
She also wanted to farm and raise pigs at the base, and this small space was not enough for her plans.
It seems she has to go back and replan the location of the city wall.
At the same time, in the convenience store, Wei Mingliang had already marked all the goods with point prices using labels.
He originally wanted to scan all the product information into the checkout system, but he was confused when he opened it.
What kind of system is this? Don’t you know how to use it?
Well, he is smart and has strong self-learning ability, but he has never studied the system and has no place to get started.
Thinking of the doctors, nurses and experts from various professions that he had selected before, he turned around and went out to look for external help.
After a while, he came back with a young man wearing glasses following him.
Wei Mingliang pointed at the cash register machine and said, "Regarding this cash register system, can you see if you can adjust it to use our base's point-based scanning system?"
The guy with glasses calmed down his excitement, and after operating the system for a few minutes, he said confidently, "No problem, just give me half an hour."
Sure enough, five minutes before half an hour, the guy with glasses held the scanner in one hand and the product in the other, and with a "beep", he entered the data.
"Select Scan. Once the product is scanned in, you can set the price. If you want to check out, select the small salesperson."
Wei Mingliang tried it according to his explanation and it worked.
"Hey, Brother Zhao, you're worthy of being a senior engineer in a big company. You're awesome."
The guy with glasses pushed his glasses up awkwardly, then looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. After hesitating for a long time, he bravely said, "Mingliang, the base commander said before that they would recruit employees for various positions. Is there anyone like me in the IT industry? Does the base need them?"
Wei Mingliang stopped what he was doing and replied, "Of course. The base will need to build base communications and maintain a lot of electronic equipment, so we will definitely need to recruit people."
The guy with glasses suddenly felt relieved.
He had previously signed up for a construction worker job, but having worked in an office for many years, he knew that his physical strength was limited and he would definitely not be able to earn many points.
If he was alone, it wouldn't matter.
But he also has a pair of six-year-old twins, whose grandparents, parents were all killed in the earthquake.
And he promised his parents and elder brother that he would take good care of the child.
The big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and the guy with glasses also had a relaxed smile on his face.
Seeing Wei Mingliang scanning the merchandise and moving the goods back and forth, looking a bit flustered, he took the initiative to step forward and said, "Let me help you. I have nothing to do anyway."
Wei Mingliang was not polite and asked him to help pick up the goods while he was responsible for filling in the price.
When the guy with glasses saw the prices of the goods marked on the shelves, he was completely stunned.
Rice is worth 3 points per pound, flour is worth 3 points per pound, and drinking water is worth 1 point per liter.
A pack of instant noodles is worth 5 points, and a box of compressed biscuits is worth 5 points.
The most shocking thing is that the store actually has fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish and meat.
"This, this price...isn't it written wrong?"
Wei Mingliang heard the voice, looked up and saw the guy with glasses pointing at the label with a look of shock on his face, and he immediately understood.
"This price was set by the base, there's nothing wrong with that."
The guy with glasses: "Then, how come it's so cheap?"
Is it difficult to earn points?
But why do we have to pre-deposit 50 points for everyone?
This series of operations completely confused him.
Wei Mingliang shrugged. In fact, he was not quite sure. After all, he was also confused when he got the price list given by his sister.
But he knew that his sister must have her own reasons for doing this, and he just had to do what his sister said.
The guy with glasses stopped worrying and stammered nervously, "So... when will the... small shop open... for business?"
If he were allowed now, he would immediately buy a bunch of things and bring them back to nourish his two little nephews.
Wei Mingliang: "If everything goes well, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."
Knowing that many people in the base have no food and there will be no free food distribution tomorrow, opening the door early will allow them to buy basic food and water.
After all, they are all residents of the base now. If they faint from hunger before they even start working, the base will be the one that suffers the loss.
Upon hearing this, the guy with glasses immediately became excited and quickened his movements.
He planned to wait in the convenience store before it opened and be the first to buy something when it opened.
It goes without saying that there will be a lot of people tomorrow.
And there are many people who think the same as him.
Just when Wei Mingliang finished scanning all the goods in the store and put the store sign on the door.
"Oh my god, this little shop, is it the one we were told could exchange food and medicine?"
"That has to be exchanged for gold, silver, and jade, and we don't have those precious things."
"Don't talk nonsense when you know nothing! Didn't you see what it says? It's points. Points in the base!"
"Oh my god, it really is points! Then we can use the points on the card to buy things. I just wonder how much we can buy with 50 points."
