Chapter 283
Zhou Qi stared at Tang Yu'an blankly, feeling the blood in his body boiling...
"Brother Xiaoqi, your face is so red."
Tang Yu'an raised his head and saw Zhou Qi's red cheeks and ears. He couldn't help but smirk, "Your ears are red too!"
Zhou Qi: “…”
He looked at the boy helplessly, and seeing that he was becoming more and more presumptuous, he finally couldn't help but hold his face, then leaned over, opened his mouth slightly, and took a bite on the boy's chubby face.
His force was very light.
Tang Yu'an first felt Zhou Qi's soft lips, then the wet tip of his tongue, and then his hard teeth...
He was originally full of pride, but suddenly he froze.
When Zhou Qi stepped back, he belatedly pressed his cheeks and looked at Zhou Qi in surprise.
Now, there were two people blushing and their hearts were beating fast.
They just stared at each other, and after a moment, they turned away together.
Tang Yu'an rubbed his cheek and muttered, "You bit me again!"
"I was wrong..." Zhou Qi lowered his head.
Tang Yuan opened her mouth slightly, then quickly closed it. She didn't dare to ask for a kiss as carelessly as before.
Both of them fell silent, but there seemed to be an ambiguous atmosphere flowing between them.
“Meow—”
Black Pearl walked in from outside and tilted her head as she looked at them.
Tang Yu'an quickly stood up, picked it up and ran outside to the deck to get some fresh air.
Looking at the young man's fleeing back, Zhou Qi slowly curled the corners of his mouth. Has An An finally learned to be shy?
-
A few days later, Zhou Qi finally figured out a way to allow the giant ship to sail safely on the sea.
They put on masks again and called Zhan Xiaotian over as Yin Guang and Wu Yue.
Half a month passed, and the first batch of immigrants in Zitian Castle had been settled. Zhan Xiaotian had already contacted his father and told him everything about his seaside home.
"Lord Divine Envoy, my father has gained over 10,000 new believers during this period. They all hope to leave Zitian Castle and settle in the new home!"
Yin Guang nodded and said, "In fact, we summoned you here for this very reason."
"From now on, the task of transporting the immigrants from Zitian Fort will be handed over to you."
Zhan Xiaotian was stunned. "Leave it to me? Aren't the two divine envoys going to Zitian Castle?"
Yin Guang nodded.
Zhan Xiaotian couldn't help but get anxious, "How can this be possible? If we encounter sea beasts on the way, we won't be able to deal with them..."
"Don't worry."
Wu Yue's cold voice rang out, "I have left a mark on the ship. Within seven days, this ship will be able to sail freely on the sea."
"As long as you return to the sea immediately after accepting the believers and reach the waters of your coastal homeland within seven days, you won't have to worry about sea beasts."
Now that there is a way to enclose land and expand the protective barrier, Haijing has sent people to incorporate the shallow waters of Linhai Town into the territory of Shangshen Sect bit by bit.
Because the temperature is getting lower day by day, the sea surface has begun to freeze. However, after being covered by the protective barrier, the ice will melt and there will not be much impact.
In the future, this sea area will become a safe port where people can fish and farm seafood with peace of mind.
Zhan Xiaotian opened his mouth, but facing the two gods' messengers, who were wearing masks and whose expressions could not be seen, he just couldn't say anything to refuse.
"I...I understand..."
"We can bring more people back this time, but the normal passenger capacity of this giant ship is 2,000. We can have a slightly higher number than that, but don't overload it too much."
Tang Yu'an also had no knowledge of navigation.
The information about this giant ship states that it can carry 2,000 passengers, but they did not arrange any sailors or crew members, so it should not sink even with a few more people.
Two to three thousand people is enough. If there are more, Haijing may not be able to accommodate them.
When the time is more ripe, we can release the teleportation array, which will make it more convenient to transfer people.
“Okay, okay!”
Zhan Xiaotian wrote down the key points.
As for how to drive the giant ship and how to get on and off the ship, he had been taught on the way to Linhai Town.
Tang Yu'an asked him to repeat the operation and made sure that he had really learned it before handing the giant ship over to him with confidence.
Looking at Zhan Xiaotian's loose sleeves, Tang Yu'an thought for a moment and said, "Work hard, and maybe you'll have a chance to own a robotic arm in the future."
The message in a bottle transaction with Cosona is still ongoing. Because they use automatic water storage thermos for transportation, their transaction speed has become much faster.
Of the initially promised 10,000 tons of water, nearly 2,000 tons have been delivered, and with the subsequent trade of signal transmitters, the amount of water owed increased again.
However, more debts are better than nothing. Since it is Cosona, the deal can go ahead. Anyway, they now own the entire ocean and don't need to worry about not having enough water.
Zhan Xiaotian was still so young, it was such a pity that he lost an arm.
If Cosona's plane produces robotic arms and is relatively convenient to operate, Tang Yu'an thinks he can buy a batch from her.
He had seen it before in the fishing village of Zitian Fort, and there were quite a lot of people with broken limbs.
Zhan Xiaotian stared blankly at the silver light. His face was hidden under the silver mask and could not be seen clearly. However, his warm and clear voice was like a breeze blowing through his heart.
"Robotic arm? You mean... can my arm be restored?"
"It's possible to use a mechanical skeleton to restore the function of a normal arm, but it's unlikely to be exactly the same as before."
Despite this, this was enough to surprise Zhan Xiaotian.
His eyes were red with excitement: "Thank you, I will definitely work hard!"
Tang Yu'an nodded and handed him the 3,000 overnight accommodation cards that had been produced during this period, asking him to distribute them to the new immigrants.
This batch of overnight accommodation cards does not have a billing function for the time being and is the most basic binding overnight accommodation card.
Customers on the non-overnight list will be automatically bound once they touch the card, and their names will appear on the list, so there is no need to add them one by one.
When the situation stabilizes in the future and you need to collect rent, you can simply add new functions to the panel.
"I'll keep it safe!"
So, the giant ship was handed over to Zhan Xiaotian.
He mobilized quickly because the governor of the fortress had sent guards to follow him, ostensibly for protection but actually to gather information, and this time he needed to bring these people back with him.
However, when Zhan Xiaotian found them, most of them refused to go back because they had already settled down in the village by the sea with other people!
He approached them one by one, and in the end only three people were willing to go with him.
This is because their families are still in Zitian Castle, and they want to go back and bring their families over!
Zhan Xiaotian was not surprised by this situation.
The environment in Zitian Fort was too depressing, not at all as free as Linhai Town, and the indigenous people in the village also welcomed them.
The treatment they received in their home in Linhai Town was much better than when they were in Zitian Castle.
In short, it was not until the evening that Zhan Xiaotian and his party finally boarded the boat and officially embarked on their return journey.
Tang Yu'an finally decided on the locations of the two new branches in Linhai Town.
He did not build the branch in any fishing village, but chose another location and had construction robots rebuild it.
Anyway, now that there is bus Line 3, it is much more convenient for fishermen to travel, and he also plans to sell bicycles and tricycles in Linhai Town in the future.
After all, roads leading to various villages are already under construction, and in addition to public transportation, private transportation has also become a market.
Linhai Town also produces salt, so there is no need to worry about not having points. Every household will be able to afford it in the future!
Thus, branches No. 14 and No. 15 were officially completed!
Because it was built within the protective barrier, Tang Yu'an did not activate this function and only set up the teleportation array.
Li Peng, who had been assisting Haijing, was hired as a full-time employee and was responsible for the operation of branch No. 14.
As for store No. 15...
At the recommendation of Old Li, Tang Yu'an sent Xiaocao over.
As the second employee he recruited, Xiaocao's performance has always been outstanding. However, with the recruitment of Hongli, her business in Jufeng Mountain has become increasingly difficult.
The population resources of Jufeng Mountain are limited. Hongli took up most of them, and Huangcheng Home took some more. In addition, the grocery store in the garrison also started selling salt, so the business plummeted.
Now even with only Xiaocao, it is enough to handle the business of Kyoho Grocery Store.
This is undoubtedly a waste. The grass needs a broader stage.
Although Tang Yu'an felt that she was young and could spend more time on studying, it was obvious that Xiaocao did not think so.
Old Li saw this and made the suggestion to him.
She was born and raised in the wasteland, so naturally she couldn't grow up until she was eighteen like the children before the disaster.
Maybe the next generation or the next generation of our homeland can do it, but this generation is impossible.
After listening to Old Li's opinion, Tang Yu'an was silent for a long time, and finally accepted his recommendation and let Xiaocao be responsible for the affairs of Store No. 15.
When receiving the assignment notice, the grass, which had been listless, suddenly became full of new vitality.
However, because she is "one of us" and can use the teleportation array, she can still return home at night, which does not make much difference to other people.
So Xiaocao didn't have to say goodbye to everyone. The next day, she happily boarded the Line 1 bus and prepared to go to the new branch to start work.
Although she could take the teleportation array, she was on a business trip after all, and it was important to scout the location and understand the environment, so she did not intend to save this little time.
Shitou also followed her, as he was really worried about his sister going to Linhai Town alone.
He would stay with her until the situation at Store 15 stabilized.
As for the Jufeng Grocery Store, Tang Yu'an did not close it, but instead assigned someone else to run it.
This person came from Lao Li's talent training program. Although he likes reading and math, he has a rather Buddhist personality and lacks motivation, so he is not cut out for business.
Old Li originally planned to let him teach, but now he thinks that going to Jufeng Grocery Store is also a good idea.
After all, Kyoho Grocery Store doesn't need to develop vigorously, it just needs to maintain its old customers.
After asking for my opinion, we hit it off.
Thus, the first major personnel transfer in the home went smoothly.
The next day, Tang Sheng also obtained the required land in the north of the city and successfully built Ping'an Grocery Store No. 16.
In addition, he also recruited Chen Jianjiang and his adjutant Mo Yu as employees of Store No. 16.
There are still more than 100,000 survivors in the shelter in the north of the city, and their needs are huge. Therefore, after the completion of store No. 16, Tang Sheng, as the branch manager, began to gain a lot of experience points.
I think it won’t be long before I can get the permission to open the protective barrier!
The arrangements between Linhai Town and the original world came to a temporary end, and Tang Yu'an and the others finally returned to the Ping'an Grocery Store.
"We have opened many branches now!" Tang Yu'an couldn't help but sigh.
"Is it stressful?"
"There's a feeling that I'm always busy, but when I think about how our home is getting bigger and bigger, I feel happy."
Tang Yuan lay in this small attic. Even though he now owned a lot of land and houses, this was still the place where he felt most at ease and comfortable.
Zhou Qi smiled slightly, he had a similar feeling.
At this moment, he thought of something and asked, "Did Wen Qingqing pass Lao Mo's assessment?"
It's been half a month since the first assessment...
Tang Yu'an shook her head. "Not yet, but her experience points have increased a lot. She's just a little bit away from reaching level 20."
With her intense trading schedule during the day, she probably had little time to study. Especially since she wasn't particularly interested in theology, the learning process was quite challenging...
Zhou Qi nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "When she reaches level 20, if she hasn't passed yet, we'll watch her assessment."
If there is no problem with her ideology and morality, then we should give her a little leniency and let her pass. After all, Ice Flame Castle really needs such a branch and can't afford to waste time.
"By the way, do you want to send a mission from Qingmu Fort?" Tang Yu'an asked.
"You want to give Chi Hao hair?"
"Um."
Tang Yu'an nodded. "With the protection of the God of Commerce, Brother Chi Hao might be able to do business better?"
Two or three months have passed, so Qingmu Fort should have relaxed its surveillance of Brother Chi Hao a little, right?
Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's give him the same task, bring him to Store No. 6, and let him also undergo Lao Mo's assessment."
Tang Yu'an couldn't help but look troubled, "Brother Chi Hao... can you pass?"
"It's okay, we have Lord Bluebeard and Red Carp."
It just so happens that Lan Yunqing and Hong Li have never been to Store No. 6, so let them also be "influenced" by Lao Mo.
Tang Yu'an thought about it and agreed, so he sent the editing task to Chi Hao who was far away in Qingmu Fort.
The author has something to say:
Chi Hao: What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I must pass!
