Chapter 196
Although Hai Jing had studied mathematics, calculations above two digits were still difficult for him, so he had consulted Chi Hao before.
That's why he thanked him on the store channel.
Looking at Lv Rulan's speech, Haijing thought for a while and then typed some text in the store channel.
[Cloud Eagle]: Brother Xiaolu, can I use my points to buy food from you?
With the existence of trading areas, they can exchange what they have with each other even if they are thousands of miles apart.
Guanyu Village now has rice, and it would be even better if it could have meat.
If the meat sold by other employees is about the same price as the dried meat in the wholesale market, he doesn't mind buying from other employees and giving them the points to earn.
After all, he learned a lot from other employees, especially this little green guy.
He is quite talkative, but he is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. As long as you say something nice to him, he will not hesitate to help others.
Sure enough, after he sent the message, he received a reply soon.
【Green as Blue】: What food do you want?
[Cloud Eagle]: Meat, any meat is fine.
[Yunying]: 60 points per kilogram.
Among the meats he has unlocked so far, salted fish and beef are both 80 points per pound.
Although he has a lot of points now, he can only use his personal points to make purchases in the forum trading area, so Haijing still hopes to be frugal.
【Green as Blue】: How much do you want?
[Yunying]: Let’s collect 5 kilograms first, as it will go bad easily if left for too long.
Green as Blue: Okay, wait, I'll get you one right away. How about a rabbit? Or do you prefer bird?
[Cloud Eagle]: Anything is fine, as long as it’s meat.
【Green as Blue】: No problem!
Looking at Green Like Blue's reply, Haijing couldn't help but smile.
It feels so great to get food without going out to sea!
All the villagers who exchanged rice from him were very happy. Adults and children could get a kilogram of rice every day, which was enough to fill the stomach of a family.
During this month, no one in the village died because Haijing exchanged rice for salt.
Even those families that lost their breadwinners managed to survive, and even the babies in their cradles were doing well.
Although it is inevitable that you will not be full if you only eat rice and some seafood picked up on the beach, it is better than starving to death or being buried in the sea.
Now the same amount of salt can be exchanged for more rice, so they can at least have enough to eat.
So who among those living in Guanyu Village would not be grateful to the whales?
Even those one or two who had bad intentions gradually changed their minds under the vigilance of others and dared not target Haijing anymore.
Otherwise, even their own family members might not let them go.
After finishing today's transaction, Xiao Hailan took her homework book to her father for inspection, and then received a bag of white sugar as a reward.
Xiao Hailan licked a few candies and found them sweet.
But when she thought of something, her mood became depressed again: "Dad, that adult hasn't appeared in my dreams for a long time..."
Hai Jing touched her head and said softly, "Child, that's a god. He's very busy every day. How could he possibly pay attention to us all the time?"
Little Hailan looked up at him and asked, "Dad, do gods really exist in this world?"
Haijing remembered the information he saw on the message board.
The God of Commerce... The God of Commerce...
Naturally, he was willing to believe in such a benevolent god.
So he nodded and said, "That lord is a great god."
"Dad's life was saved by Him, and the happiness we have now is also given by that God, so don't complain, always be grateful, okay?"
"Okay! I understand." Xiao Hailan nodded in response.
She and her father are living a good life now. There are many people in the world who need help more than ever, and we should give them opportunities.
After eating the candy, Xiao Hailan cooked dinner with her father.
As evening approached, torches were lit in Guanyu Village. Because more rice was exchanged today, every household in the village was happy and the village seemed particularly lively.
seaside--
At some point, several unfamiliar faces appeared nearby, looking at the salt ponds that were everywhere on the beach.
Finally, the leader said, "Go and find out who is selling salt."
"yes!"
-
Jufeng Town, Store No. 2.
When Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi came out of the basement, they saw that the Jufeng Grocery Store had been completely renovated and built exactly according to their requirements.
Tang Yu'an reached out and knocked on the stone wall, feeling it was very solid, and nodded with satisfaction.
The guards on duty outside rushed in when they heard the noise inside. When they saw the two young men appear in the room, they were stunned, and then they were overjoyed.
"Two young bosses, you are finally back!"
The basement of the Jufeng Grocery Store is inaccessible to outsiders. Everyone says that a tunnel has been dug underneath, but no one knows where it leads.
The fact that the two grocery store owners had not appeared for many days after entering the basement seemed to confirm this point, so the guards were not surprised by the two teenagers' sudden appearance in the grocery store.
"Thank you for your hard work." Tang Yu'an said.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. When are you two going to open?"
Ever since the floods blocked the roads, prices of all kinds of goods have skyrocketed, especially salt. Everyone was used to it before, but since people have been eating cheap salt, who can bear such high salt prices?
So everyone was looking forward to the reopening of Jufeng Grocery Store even more. Those who had participated in the robbery of Jufeng Grocery Store were ostracized by the people around them.
Although the guards had no actual evidence to arrest anyone, their lives in Jufeng Town became difficult after they aroused public anger.
"Haha, we'll open tomorrow!" Tang Yu'an said cheerfully.
“That’s great!”
After exchanging greetings with a few guards, Tang Yu'an escorted them out of the grocery store, and then he and Zhou Qi inspected the store inside and out.
Not long after, Xiaocao and Shitou also came over from the Jade Pavilion.
"Little Miracle Doctor, Store Manager!"
"You're back."
"Yeah." Xiaocao nodded, then asked anxiously, "Are we going to start selling salt tomorrow?"
"Yes." Tang Yu'an thought for a moment, looked at them and said, "You should move back to the store as well. It's not safe to go back and forth."
After they start selling salt, the Stone siblings will attract attention again. If they continue to walk between the grocery store and the Jade Pavilion every day, it will be easy for something to get into trouble.
"That hot soup..." Xiaocao said a little hesitantly.
Xiaocao was reluctant to give up the hot soup business, but if she had to sell salt during the day, she and her brother really didn't have the energy to sell hot soup at night.
Tang Yu'an then told Zhou Qi the plan they had discussed before: "Ask the boss lady if she wants to take over. We can sell pepper to her."
Hearing this, Xiaocao was stunned at first and became obviously hesitant.
After all, pepper is the key to their hot soup sales, and it's really hard to give it away like this. But on second thought, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go tell her!"
Although the points and experience points earned this way are less, the profit from hot soup is still not as great as that from selling salt. If the proprietress can take over and come to buy pepper from them, it can compensate for some of the losses.
And they don't necessarily have to sell the boss lady and pepper at the same time as selling salt.
Not only can they continue to earn points, but they can also bring more people into their circle of interests. Isn’t that killing two birds with one stone?
The young doctor and store manager are amazing! She still has so much to learn!
So Xiaocao and Shitou hurried away and went back to the Meiyu Pavilion to discuss things with the proprietress.
After they left, Captain Black Bear came over again.
When he saw Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi again, he was obviously stunned. Compared with the last time, the two teenagers had changed a lot.
Especially Zhou Qi. When Black Bear looked at him, it was difficult for him to connect him with the tall, thin and weak-looking boy from a month or two ago.
After being stunned for a long time, he finally realized his loss of composure and quickly restrained himself.
Although they have changed a lot, in this apocalyptic world with superpowers, all kinds of strange things can happen, and he has become accustomed to it.
So he got straight to business.
"I heard everything from the guards," Black Bear said. "If you need help maintaining order tomorrow, just let me know."
Seeing that Black Bear didn't ask any more questions, Tang Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that he didn't have to explain why he and Xiaoqi grew so fast!
He thanked me, brought out another clay pot, and said, "This is the 100 kilograms of salt we agreed on for this month."
Black Bear quickly inspected the soybeans carefully. After checking the quality, he nodded happily and said, "Okay, I'll have someone deliver 1,000 kilograms of soybeans."
"Thank you for your help!"
So Black Bear left in a hurry again, and quickly asked someone to bring over 10 bags of soybeans weighing 100 kilograms each, and put them all in the room designated by Tang Yu'an.
"How is Sister Hongli?" Tang Yu'an asked with concern.
"The mountain master is still in seclusion and in good condition," Black Bear said. "Thanks to the fire stones you sent earlier. If there are any left, our guard station will take as many as they can!"
"OK."
Tang Yu'an nodded, but did not take out more fire stones.
Now, in addition to supplying the homes in the deserted city, the fire stones are mainly used to trade with the Ice Rock Castle, as the people there obviously need them more.
In Jufeng Town, he planned to sell the fire stones that had only residual heat due to being stored for a long time.
Afterwards, Black Bear left with a smile on his face, carrying 100 kilograms of sea salt, and Tang Yu'an...
You completed a profitable transaction with a regular customer, earning +22,500 points and +1 experience point.
Hehe, everyone is happy!
After sending the black bear away, he took out the Nanyuan container and put all 10 bags of soybeans into it. The container with 100 cubic meters of space was more than enough to hold these 1,000 kilograms of soybeans.
However, I will have to find some time later to clean out the containers so that I can upgrade to the next level.
Zhou Qi used his earth-related abilities to reinforce the house - as for anything else, they couldn't do.
After all, the Kyoho Grocery Store has been closed. Without the popularity of the store, it cannot be upgraded, and many hard-installed items cannot be unlocked.
but……
Tang Yu'an removed two metal doors from Store No. 1 and added another layer of protection on top of the original front and back doors.
For the front of the store, they referred to the design of Ping An Grocery Store, leaving only a door and a window for entry and exit.
Moreover, the size of this window hole is even smaller than the original one, only 45 centimeters in length and width.
When the business opens, Xiaocao and Shitou will sit behind the window hole, and salt and goods will pass through the window hole. Such a closed design should greatly improve safety.
Anyway, the things that the townspeople bring to exchange are rarely large items. If there are any, they can just wait until the business is suspended and trade them separately.
After Xiaocao and Shitou came back, Tang Yu'an took them aside to explain the operation process.
At the same time, he gave each of them a mutant metal dagger and said seriously: "This is for you to use for self-defense, but you can't use it to bully others, understand?"
"Don't worry, little doctor, we will definitely not violate the rules of the church!" Shi Tou said, patting his chest.
Tang Yu'an: "..."
What kind of religious rules are these? They are clearly employee rules!
At this time, Xiaocao took out a few packets of medicine powder from his portable storage and said, "Don't worry, little doctor, this is the itching powder that Sister Lin gave us."
"If those people dare to steal things again, we will throw the powder outside and make sure they are itchy to death!"
They supervised the reconstruction of the Jufeng Grocery Store and had noticed the window hole design a long time ago, so they had also thought of a way to deal with it.
"Yes." Tang Yu'an nodded with satisfaction. "Anyway, your safety is the most important thing. If someone comes to rob you again, you should hide in the basement first."
Now the Jufeng Grocery Store has been completely reinforced, and there shouldn't be a situation where it's squeezed in by the crowd like before, which will give them enough time to escape.
"We know, little doctor."
Seeing that the brother and sister both agreed, Tang Yu'an talked about something else: "What did the boss lady say?"
"She agreed, so we sold her a bag of pepper, which should be enough for her to use for most of the month."
However, the proprietress couldn't afford so much food at the moment, so she only paid some mushrooms in advance and would pay back the rest after the business was done.
"We also told her that we would give her half a month to sell the pepper powder because we wanted to thank her for providing us with the venue. After half a month, we will be able to sell the pepper powder to the public."
Hearing this, Tang Yu'an was stunned. He didn't even tell Xiaocao, so she thought of it on her own?
"What did the boss lady say?"
"Of course I'm happy," Xiaocao said. "Although we sell pepper to others, everyone is used to buying hot soup at Meiyu Pavilion. Even if others have it, they won't take away much business."
Tang Yu'an nodded. Habits are indeed hard to change. As long as the hot soup in Meiyu Pavilion maintains the same quality as before, the townspeople will continue to buy it there.
"Then you should get a good night's sleep tonight. Tomorrow is the first day of opening, and it will definitely be very busy."
"Yeah, okay!"
So they temporarily closed the Jufeng Grocery Store and took the teleportation array back to their home in the deserted city.
Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi went to move the containers, while Shi Tou took his sister back to the staff dormitory.
"Xiaocao, don't be unhappy..." Shitou said, standing at the bedroom door and looking at his sister.
"I'm not unhappy."
Xiaocao made her bed and responded, "This arrangement is great, and selling hot soup really doesn't make as much money as selling salt."
She thought of something and looked up at Shitou and said, "Brother, Yunying's monthly salary is more than 20,000 points."
Stone also knew this.
Xiaocao continued, "He became an employee later than us."
Her eyes blazed with fighting spirit. "We have to work harder this month and try to get a salary of over 10,000 points!"
Stone:"……"
I was thinking of asking my sister if she wanted to go to the chat room and get some stones for a midnight snack, but I silently shut my mouth and went back to my room.
He feels like he will be woken up before dawn tomorrow, so it would be better for him to go to bed early!
-
Room 501.
Tang Yu'an transferred all the soybeans in the Nanyuan container to the Dongli container.
The special function of the Dongli container is to keep vegetables fresh. Although soybeans are not vegetables, the container has a large capacity, and placing them here allows residents of the home to consume some of them.
In addition to potatoes, you still need to eat more other foods to ensure a balanced nutrition!
"So the Jufeng Grocery Store will open tomorrow?" asked Old Li.
"Yes."
"Then I'll go over there tomorrow and see if there's anything I can help with."
"good."
So after saying goodbye to Old Li, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi returned to Ping'an Grocery Store to prepare to upgrade the Nanyuan container.
The level 3 super-capacity cargo container can increase its internal space to 200 cubic meters, which is very practical!
After Zhou Qi made a bowl of delicious vegetable soup and placed it on the emptied Nanyuan container, Tang Yu'an summoned the furniture elf Yaya.
I hope that this time I can also trigger the special effect of preserving vegetables!
The upgrade time to lv3 is longer than before, a full week.
Seeing the elf start to work seriously, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi did not disturb her and left the warehouse very consciously.
At this moment, Tang Yu'an suddenly saw a system prompt pop up.
[Employee "Chi Hao" completes a profitable transaction with a new customer, earning +1000 points and +3 experience points]
"Hey, has Brother Chihao arrived at the fortress?"
Brother Yunqing’s salary hasn’t even been settled yet, and it shouldn’t even be a month since he left Lanhu Town. How come he’s already at the fortress so soon?
Tang Yu'an opened the map and scrolled up to Chi Hao's location.
Sure enough, a lot of green dots appeared around him. Could this be Aoki Castle?
At this time, Zhou Qi took out the exercise book that Chi Hao had just put in from his personal warehouse, opened it and read the message he left.
Chi Hao: [Xiao An Xiao Qi, I'm now in a place called Huangyangu. I bought a house here. If you have the chance to come here in the future, you can bring your voucher to move in.]
"Brother Chi Hao bought another house!" Tang Yu'an said in surprise after looking at Chi Hao's message.
In addition to the above paragraph, there is another paragraph below.
Chi Hao: [But this place is not as close as Lanhu Town. I guess it’s hard for you to come this far.]
It was indeed difficult in the past, but now we have an RV!
Tang Yu'an chuckled and then said to Zhou Qi, "Should we tell Brother Chi Hao that we have been to Lanhu Town?"
Zhou Qi thought about it and nodded.
It’s okay to tell Chi Hao about this, so that he won’t have to worry about Lanhu Town all the time. After all, he seems to have a good relationship with Lord Lanhu.
So Tang Yu'an wrote something in his exercise book.
Xiao An: [Brother Chihao, thank you for buying us another house! We've already been to Lanhu Town. The crisis in Lanhu Lin has been resolved, and Brother Yunqing has even been spotted by a mysterious businessman and hired as an employee.]
After Zhou Qi put the exercise book into his portable storage, he soon received a reply from Chi Hao.
Chi Hao: [The Brother Yunqing you're talking about...could it be Lan Yunqing, the Lord of Lanhu Town? ? He's also been hired as an employee?!]
Xiao An: [Yes, that's him. He was recruited before we arrived in Lanhu Town and even took the initiative to introduce himself to us.]
Chi Hao: […What is his name?]
Chi Hao: [Wait, you don't mean to say he is Hong Shenghuo? ]
Xiao An: [Brother Chi Hao, you are so smart^^]
-
Huangyan Valley.
Chi Hao sat in the newly bought house, watching Tang Yu'an's last words, but he couldn't laugh.
Hong Shenghuo is Lan Yunqing? What the hell!
Thinking about how he had always targeted Hong Shenghuo intentionally or unintentionally because he was unhappy with the name, and always spoke to him in sarcastic terms, Chi Hao couldn't help but sigh to the sky.
How could this happen?
How did the mysterious businessman get his nickname? How could Hong Shenghuo be Lan Yunqing?!
So Lan Yunqing was hired only after he left Lanhu Town?
Chi Hao hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but open the message board. Seeing Hong Shenghuo's speech record on the public channel, he shouted in the store channel first.
He remembered that Hong Shenghuo had spoken in the store channel, which meant they were in the same store.
However, no one responded after he sent the message for a long time.
Looking at the public channel again, Hong Shenghuo was clearly chatting happily with Xiao Chaonao, so why was he ignoring him? Could it be that... he had always been targeting him and annoyed him?
Chi Hao couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but Lan Yunqing's smiling eyes unconsciously appeared in his mind.
He thought about it and decided to type on the public channel.
[Green as Blue]: Red is brighter than fire. I am calling you in the store channel, why are you ignoring me?
After sending the message, Chi Hao waited anxiously. Of course, he didn't think Lan Yunqing had guessed that "Lu Ru Lan" was him, but... what if?
In this way, time passed by minute by minute, and when Chi Hao felt that each second was a year, he finally saw a new message pop up on the message board.
[Hongshenghuo]: I was transferred to another store.
What? There's actually such a thing!
Chi Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Why the hell! Why did the mysterious businessman transfer Lan Yunqing away? He just felt a stomachache.
【Hongshenghuo】：What's up?^^
Looking at the other party's last emoticon, Chi Hao seemed to see Lan Yunqing's playful eyes.
No way, no way...
Could it be that Lan Yunqing has already recognized him?
[Red is better than fire]: Brother Little Green?
Chi Hao: ...a critical hit!
-
Ping An Grocery Store.
Tang Yu'an was also watching the conversation between the two on the public channel, and then he remembered that Brother Chi Hao and Lord Lan Hu were no longer in the same store.
Brother Yunqing was transferred to Store No. 5, while Brother Chihao remained in the main store.
If they wanted to chat privately, they could transfer Brother Chi Hao to Store No. 5, but... even though they were in the same store before, they rarely talked to each other.
Besides, if we transfer him there now without any reason, it would be too easy for him to be exposed.
Finally, he had no choice but to shake his head, close the message board, and prepare to go back to the attic to catch today's message in a bottle.
When he and Zhou Qi just climbed upstairs, they saw the window of the Dream Bottle flickering. This light effect...
The message in a bottle that went to another dimension has returned!
Which message in the bottle has returned? Kosona's? Langze's? Or the other two?
Tang Yu'an ran over quickly, opened the window and took the drifting bottle out of the dream sea, but the result was -
[Warning! Warning! Your dream message in a bottle has attracted the attention of a deity. They are approaching, so please be careful.]
At the same time, Tang Yu'an heard a cold voice lazily ringing in his ears.
"Are you the mysterious businessman?"
