Chapter 6: Hoarding, Hoarding, Hoarding Supplies
When the cherries, loquats, peaches, bayberries, and Kyoho grapevines were all laden with fruit, Lin Zhaozhao leaned against the grape trellis, panting heavily, eating cherries and grapes as she stocked the shelves.
The fruit sold out quickly, generating a net income of 15,390 yuan. Considering that baby formula and diapers were not cheap, Lin Zhaozhao began a new round of fertility stimulation after replenishing her supernatural abilities.
After three consecutive drops in income, when it fell to 12,000, Lin Zhaozhao stopped to check the situation and found that the system's pricing was falling. The fastest falling was for peaches, which were initially 28 yuan per kilogram, but are now falling below 20 yuan. Next were loquats and cherries, which fell to 30 and 35 yuan respectively.
Under these circumstances, Lin Zhaozhao decisively gave up on promoting the growth of other fruit trees and focused all her energy on promoting the growth of cherry and loquat trees.
After making the trade-offs, although prices continued to fall, average income increased significantly, and the consumption and replenishment of superpowers remained balanced.
After her account surpassed six figures, Lin Zhaozhao exhausted her superpowers and fell into a deep sleep. Unbeknownst to her, after she fell asleep, countless green light spots enveloped her and gradually seeped into her body.
Meanwhile, Lin Fusheng and Li Xiujuan arrived at Shizi Village.
Unlike the usual tranquility, the village was in a state of panic and chaos after being ravaged by locusts. The villagers were too busy to even eat and were busy packing their belongings to seek refuge with distant relatives.
They said they were seeking refuge, but everyone knew in their hearts that they were fleeing famine. Their autumn harvest rations had been ravaged by locust plagues, they were burdened by government taxes, and there was a severe drought. If they stayed any longer, they would only face death if they didn't find another way out.
Hurriedly arriving at the Li family home, Li Xiujuan knocked on the door of the main house. "Brother, Fusheng and I are here."
With a creak, a small crack appeared inside, and Li Xiujuan and Lin Fusheng squeezed in. What they saw was a wild boar with its belly cut open. No wonder they had to keep people inside like this at this moment.
"Xiujuan, you've come at the right time! Come and help your brother chop up this wild boar." In the afternoon, Li Minghui and Li Minghuang, brothers, found a dying wild boar and a litter of wild boar piglets in a trap they had set in the mountains.
Coincidentally, the village was also hit by a swarm of locusts. So, it wasn't until dark that the two brothers dared to carry the wild boar home. They wanted to do it openly, otherwise they would only invite hatred.
Without saying a word, Li Xiujuan deftly chopped the wild boar into pieces, washed her hands, and went straight to Old Lady Li. "Mother, what do you think of the locust swarm we encountered today?"
Old Mrs. Li glanced at her and asked, "What did your mother-in-law say?"
She said that if our two families communicated, we could look out for each other.
"What's the latest time?"
"Tomorrow at noon."
"Okay, let's meet up in Qingning Town."
The mother and daughter spoke in riddles, leaving all the women in the room completely bewildered. However, Li Minghui and Li Minghuang understood perfectly. Their mother had escaped hardship in her early years and had been giving them advice and guidance since they were children.
They thought it would never happen to them, but who knew they would be in this predicament.
