Chapter 149 Milk Tea Shop and Breeding House
Yao Ruoyun thought of Shu Fu's smile and words when she left, and suddenly clapped her hands. Could it be that when she said she had received it, she meant that the part with less vegetables had automatically gone to her?
Although Yao Ruoyun didn't understand how Shu Fu received that part of the vegetables, she felt it was quite convenient. It was a bit like the tax after towing the raft and using the special suit.
She guessed that in the future, a portion of each vegetable and fruit harvested would be automatically given to her. Although the amount she reserved for Shu Fu was more than the amount automatically sent to her, this was also good. It was convenient and worry-free, and she wouldn't have to reserve extra for her after each harvest.
After all, her memory is not very good when she is busy. Like this time, she was so busy that she forgot.
After Shu Fu came out from Yao Ruoyun's place, she saw that the lights on the first floor of the milk tea shop next door were on, so she turned over.
It is almost twelve o'clock now, and the power supply period has long passed. The grow-house has electricity because it has its own battery panel, but Chen Fa's place is a milk tea shop. She just looked around and didn't find any battery panels.
But she knew the reason as soon as she stepped into the milk tea shop. Chen Fa took out a generator, used self-generated electricity, turned on a small light, and was tidying up the cabinets in the water bar.
Although the milk tea shop currently only has the hardware facilities but no supporting software, Chen Fa has it. Because she had thought about opening a milk tea shop before, she has been collecting tea leaves, especially black tea, since then.
She also collected a lot of disposable cups and straws, in addition to tapioca flour, tapioca, milk powder, coffee powder, etc. However, these supplies are easy to spoil, so she left them in a large cardboard box, preparing to put out the parts that will spoil, and then put the more easily spoiled ones into the backpack compartment.
"Aren't you tired? Why aren't you sleeping so late?"
"You haven't slept either?" Chen Fa looked up at her, and then he put two large cartons on the counter in front of him. Inside were a bunch of take-out boxes and bowls, some large and some small, in different shapes and styles. "There are original beef bone soup sliced noodles, beef bone soup ramen, beef fried ramen, and mutton fried rice, mutton pilaf... These are all made by grandma for you. I've been saving them for a few months, and they take up two full slots in my backpack. Take them away quickly."
"Wow!" Xiao Shufu had never been short of food, but she felt hungry just by hearing the names of these foods. They were all the kinds she loved but didn't stock up on. "Where's grandma? Is she asleep?"
"I hadn't slept yet when I came down, and I was making the bed. The room is really nice, and those new sheets and towels and blankets we stockpiled before can finally be put to use."
"I'll go and take a look." Shu Fu didn't hesitate to put all the packing boxes and the large cardboard box into the space, then went upstairs.
There is another door on the second floor. The entrance outside the door is not big. Because the outer wall is curved, there is a circle of seats against the outer wall. Chen Fa put a small cabinet here to use as a shoe cabinet. There is also a carpet in front of the door. It is estimated that the inside has been simply tidied.
At this moment, the door was not closed but half open. Shu Fu stuck half of her head in to check. Before she could speak, she heard Chen Yuezhen's voice: "Shu girl? Come in quickly!"
Shu Fu was wearing slippers that she only used on the raft. The soles of her shoes were clean, so she walked straight in.
There was no electricity on the second floor, so Chen Yuezhen turned on two camping lights. She had already made the beds in the two rooms and was now taking out the clothes and daily necessities from the travel bags on the ground and putting them back in place one by one.
"Grandma, I received all the delicious food you made for me! They are all my favorites, and I put them all away! Thank you for your hard work, grandma!" Shu Fu came up to tell her in person that she liked all the delicious food she made for her with all her hard work.
"As long as you like it, it's not hard. Just make a little in a day or two. It's not troublesome. I don't know if it suits your taste. If you think any of them is delicious, just tell me and I'll make it for you!" Chen Yuezhen put down what he was holding and went to pour her some water.
"Grandma, I'm just passing by. My house is right next to you. There's no need to pour water since it's so close!" Shu Fu held Chen Yuezhen and looked around. Then, while she was not paying attention, she put a big gift bag of daily necessities and ten 20L buckets of drinking water next to the sofa.
Afterwards, she chatted with Chen Yuezhen for a while, then went back to the first floor and took out a milk tea gift bag from her space for the other party.
A milk tea gift pack contains 50 cups of milk tea. She said she would let Chen Fa sell it first. She also has a universal gift pack for this type of functional raft, and they can study how to use it tomorrow.
"It should be the supporting software on the functional raft." Chen Fa guessed, "For example, I am a milk tea shop, and what I use here should be various raw materials for making milk tea. Zheng Feifei's place is a breeding house, and what she uses there is likely to be cubs that can be raised and the corresponding feed.
If that's the case, it would definitely be more cost-effective to use it in the breeding house. At least I have stored some raw materials for making milk tea here. Even if it's not much, milk tea is a non-essential item after all. Even if I don't open for business, it won't affect everyone's life.
But the situation is different in the breeding house. You can use fishing rods to get seafood and fish in the water, but meat and by-products such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep are not so easy to obtain. Lu Zheng and I have some stocks, and we also save some for others, but the quantity is limited, and it will be gone after we eat it.
Judging from the current development trend of your raft after being towed, it will develop into a floating city in the future. Even if it is just a very small city, if it cannot be self-sufficient, it will have problems in the long run. Therefore, this universal gift pack should be used on the raft that is most needed. After all, it takes time for the cubs to grow up. "
Chen Fa's analysis was similar to Shu Fu's previous guess.
After chatting about their recent situations for a few days, Shu Fu thought about Zhang Tian again and told Chen Fa about her current situation.
"Only 5 points short? That's a bit of a pity." Sure enough, Chen Fa had the same idea.
If it was in shallow waters close to the shore, it would be fine. As long as there was no extreme weather, the raft could fully protect its owner. But in today's deep waters, if the raft could not be towed by Shu Fu, it would be overturned by the turbulent waves and the unpredictable weather at any minute.
Therefore, if Zhang Tian stayed on land, whether she joined the officialdom or lived on her own in a city near the water, the raft would be of great use to her.
The only thing she could do was to follow Shu Fu to the deep water area. Even if she took out her raft, it would not be of much use. After all, there was nothing in the ordinary raft hut, no water, no electricity, no bed, everything was in its original state. It would be better to live in a room in a small building of an inn.
But if she was really an ordinary person, it would be fine. Like Xu Ting, Feng Jiang Dai and others, they could live peacefully in a hotel and be very happy.
She had clearly become a person with special powers, so the raft was neither useful nor useless, and Zhang Tian must have had some thoughts in her mind - especially after Chen Fa and Zheng Feifei towed and used the "upgrade kit" one after another.
Moreover, Shu Fu revealed another piece of news to Chen Fa: "Shao Shan is also a superpower. We don't know whether the raft can be towed yet, but I saw a white light bar above her head."
"If, as you said, the number behind the light bar is the 'bond value', Shao Shan is likely to exceed 80." Chen Fa's speculation was well-founded. The reason why she and Shu Fu were able to reach a bond value of 100 was of course because when they were on the northern plateau, they relied on each other and experienced life and death escapes all the way, but part of the reason was also because of what happened in Suicheng.
After the party, the underground parking lot flooded, and Shu Fu sent her home, which indirectly helped her avoid taking the No. 14 subway line and allowed her to escape death.
But at that time, in addition to Chen Fa, Wu Shaoshan was also going to take Metro Line 14. The two of them lived together, so Shu Fu also indirectly helped Wu Shaoshan.
As for Wu Shaoshan's sudden appearance of the white light bar this time, it should be due to the stimulation of the riot in Zhashui County. She had been robbed and injured at that time, and Shu Fu appeared at this critical moment and successfully took them away.
When Wu Shaoshan is about to awaken but has not yet awakened, the bond between them suddenly deepens, which may cause the final value to increase again.
Shu Fu nodded. She naturally hoped that Wu Shaoshan could awaken earlier and her "bonding value" would be greater than 80, so that she would have nine known rafts that she could tow.
The difficulty of the current hidden mission is that Fang Xiwen, who appeared on the trailer list very early, has not been contacted yet, and it is not known which city she finally settled in after the transfer, or whether she is still in Zhicheng.
Besides, she had no idea to whom the tenth towable raft would belong.
Is it possible that they will meet?
However, he and she had experienced a lot together, and if he wanted to awaken, he should have awakened long ago. But from beginning to end, she had never seen the white light above his head.
When Shu Fu thought of this, she couldn't help but take out her satellite phone to check. There were no missed calls or unread messages.
They landed around noon, and it has been 12 hours since then, but for a battle, this time may only be the beginning.
Chen Fa thought for a moment, then said to Shu Fu, "How about this, I'll talk to Zhang Tian. After all, it was me who first mentioned the idea of living on the water to her. No matter what decision she makes later, whether she wants to stay in the hotel or go back to land, we need to let her know as soon as possible."
Chen Fa was not the type to procrastinate, so he made the decision immediately.
Shu Fu agreed, and when she left, she put the two large cardboard boxes full of ramen, sliced noodles and fried rice that she had put away not long ago on the counter.
"What?" You're not planning to eat a bowl so late, are you? "Are you hungry again? Don't eat at this time. You seem to have gained some weight recently."
Shu Fu: ...
Good sister, you are so good at talking...
Shu Fu had a wooden face. She quickly moved all the small take-out boxes into the space, and then put a barbecue gift package, a hot pot gift package, a Sichuan cuisine gift package, a braised food gift package, a dessert gift package, and a seafood sashimi gift package into the two large cardboard boxes.
She originally wanted to put fried food, fruits, vegetables and other things in, but there was really no room for them in the two large cartons.
"A return gift!" Shu Fu patted the two boxes. "They are all cooked food, you can eat them right after opening them. Barbecue and hot pot need to be prepared by yourself."
Chen Fa: ...
Treat her like a pig?
Is it because she said she was fat, so you plan to fatten her up?
Shu Fu could tell from her expression what she hadn't said, and smiled faintly, "You've lost so much weight recently that your breasts are almost gone. You need to eat some more."
Chen Fa: ...
After a while, Shu Fu was hooked by the neck and wrist by Chen Fa and forced to passively "take the initiative" to identify: "Got it, I'm C, standard C!"
Shu Fu: ...
"It's just C, just say it, why do you insist on me touching it?" She couldn't help but straighten up, "It's just C, I have it too!"
"Really? It doesn't look like it. Let me check it out."
There was no way Shu Fu would let her succeed and she immediately ran away with a smile. The two of them made a fuss for a while and Shu Fu sighed again. It was a pity that they couldn't enter her big villa, otherwise they could have a pool party together. The jacuzzi on the front deck could also be used as a swimming pool, and all kinds of delicious desserts, fruits, drinks and even wine could be placed next to the swimming pool on the second-floor balcony.
Then the raft went against the wind and waves to the vast deep waters. They played all night and then greeted the sunrise over the sea together.
"There will definitely be an opportunity." Chen Fa became serious again and patted Shu Fu on the shoulder. "It's just that maybe you haven't found a way yet. Besides, even if we can't get into the villa, we can still watch the sunrise over the sea together - as long as it doesn't rain when the sun rises that day."
**
Chen Fa's words gave Shu Fu inspiration. She remembered the agreement she made with Yao Ruoyun in winter and decided to finish the task at hand as soon as possible and give everyone a surprise.
The next day, everyone on the raft slept in together, and they felt adjusted and relaxed both mentally and physically.
After eating hot pot last night, a few people who were too tired to go back to their rooms to take a shower and sleep first visited the milk tea shop raft and the breeding house raft today. Especially the breeding house raft, although it is still empty, but looking at the settings, the breeding of animals is basically an assembly line operation, which is much more convenient than the pure artificial feeding they had imagined before.
When Shu Fu went to the breeding house raft, everyone was discussing which towns to go to to purchase cubs.
It is difficult to buy cubs now. They must be healthy and have to be considered for breeding. Not only are these products restricted, but you also need to register your ID card when you buy them... But there are many of them, so they can take turns buying, and they can buy them in different counties. But if you go to a place where you are unfamiliar with, you can easily be cheated by the seller...
Shu Fu was planning to use the universal suit today, and she came here to talk to Zheng Feifei about it. After all, once they used the universal suit, it would mean that their vacation was over and they would have to start working hard.
She briefly talked to Zheng Feifei and Zheng's mother, and got the answer from their shining and motivated eyes. While others were still discussing it, she went back to the Drifting Island House and used the red first prize - Upgrade Set Gift Pack (Universal) on the function screen.
Sure enough, this time the screen responded, and two towing rafts appeared on it, allowing her to choose one of them and use the matching gift package.
The optional rafts are: 1. Chen Fa’s raft; 2. Zheng Feifei’s raft.
The last time she got this card, she tried to use it but failed. She guessed that it was because the plantation house already had the matching seeds, and the situation of the inn was special, so it was shown as unusable.
She chose "Zheng Feifei's Raft" and waited for the red card in her hand to disappear and the screen showed that it had been used. She waited for a while, but there was still no matching gift box like the seeds around.
Could it be?
She went to Zheng Feifei's raft again. Before she got close, she heard surprised shouts coming from the breeding house, mixed with the chirping of baby animals.
She entered the first beehive house on the periphery, which was right next to Zheng Feifei's dining and living room, separated by double doors and a passage.
At this moment, in this bright hexagonal hut, a group of furry chicks and ducklings have appeared in the surrounding breeding compartments. There are not many of them. There are chickens in the left breeding compartment, about thirty in number, and there are ducks in the right breeding compartment, about the same number.
The breeding house is also a compressed space with an internal area of about 40 square meters, but it looks quite large because it is divided into several floors. The breeding compartments are stacked glass rooms that make full use of all the space. The chicks and ducklings that appear at the moment only occupy the first floor. Later, when these cubs grow up a little, they can be raised in separate compartments.
Except for chickens and ducks, there are only one young of the other animals in each room.
Next to chickens and ducks is rabbit, next to rabbits is sheep. There are not many sheep, and there are several pairs of different breeds. Small-tailed Han sheep have strong reproductive capacity, grow fast, and have tender meat and produce sheepskin. In addition to eating meat and stewing soup, sheep can also produce wool. Goat meat is suitable for barbecue and soup, and goat milk can also be consumed...
Next to sheep are pigs. The pig breeds are relatively single, with only a few special breeds, such as the two-headed black, and Shufu can hardly distinguish the others.
In addition to these four outer beehive breeding houses, the largest glass house in the middle is where cows are raised, including dairy cows, cattle, yaks... They are separated into different areas, and the temperature inside the small areas can be adjusted separately.
Therefore, the hexagonal glass house in the middle has the largest space, with a total area of about 150 square meters, and it has its own natural green vegetation, which is indeed more suitable for raising cattle.
Not to mention the other little friends, even Shu Fu himself, looking at the cubs that suddenly appeared, sighed in his heart.
The gift package is worthy of being the red first prize, as it contains so many living supplies. At the same time, there are also various feeds, nutrient solutions, medicines and supporting feeding instructions. It feels like playing a real farm game.
The operation of the entire breeding house is far more complicated than that of a hotel or a plantation house.
At this moment, the battery panels on the glass hexagonal roof are full of batteries, so the ventilation and temperature equipment in several breeding houses are automatically turned on with one button. There will be a slight smell inside, but at present, due to the advanced supporting facilities, the smell is very light.
The battery panels are all large-capacity and will automatically store electricity during the Shufu Raft electric card usage period, which means that they can be automatically fully charged every few hours, so there is no problem with electricity usage.
The slightly troublesome thing is the use of water. The animals need water every day, and the automatic cleaning machine also needs water when it starts. However, the water purification function has not yet been selected on the raft of the breeding house. Fortunately, there is also a compressed water storage tank inside the glass house, with a capacity of 10 tons, so at this stage, the water can be purified by the filter and then transferred into the glass house by Zheng Feifei.
Zheng Feifei had seen the folding bucket with a filter on the terrace of Lu Zheng Hotel. She thought it was great and planned to gather some materials and ask the other party to make one for her.
Chen Fa's milk tea shop currently has no water, not even a water tank, but she had made the same filter bucket as Lu Zheng and others when they were in Cham County earlier, so she also planned to store water to get through the first 100 days.
As for electricity usage, her milk tea shop, like the hotel, did not have a battery panel. Before the milk tea shop opened, she had no problem with three meals a day and washing according to Shu Fu's electricity usage schedule.
But if she wants to run the business, the shop must have electricity 24 hours a day. Some raw materials that need to be refrigerated are naturally more convenient to put in the refrigerator. Otherwise, she has to take out the entire large cardboard box from the backpack compartment every time.
So she planned to install a few batteries in the milk tea shop. This type of battery is different from the battery panels that come with the raft set. The capacity is not that large. Chen Fa removed it from a tram by chance, so the power is sufficient.
The main characteristics of Shufu raft's electric energy are that there is no limit on the amount of electricity during the power supply period, and it can be charged remotely and at a fast speed, which can save her a lot of trouble.
Everyone showed their talents according to their own situation.
**
After looking at the animals in the entire breeding house, Zheng Feifei brought up another pressing matter - the issue of hiring employees.
She had already looked at the electronic screen in her house, which showed many instructions on how to use the breeding house. As for hiring employees, she could hire three people at the beginning. The working hours were eight hours a day, four days a week, and they would take turns.
However, because the breeding house is basically fully automated, most of the work that the employees have to do is auxiliary work, such as ensuring the temperature inside the entire breeding house is appropriate, ensuring that there is enough feed in the automatic feeder, etc., and ensuring that the cub breeding compartments are clean and hygienic. These are all very miscellaneous and detailed tasks.
In addition, the breeding house raft currently does not have a garbage disposal function, so although there is a garbage disposal port inside, it cannot be used at present. The residue filtered out after each automatic cleaning will be retained in the trash can and need to be manually wrapped and processed.
No wonder they were able to hire three employees at the beginning. It is very hard work to take care of these five breeding houses every day.
However, Zheng Feifei had limited supplies to exchange for raft points. She had to keep the food for her family. Although gold could hold out for a while, it would not last long. She was afraid that her raft points would run out before the harvest, so she decided to hire someone for the time being.
Shu Fu said immediately that the success of the breeding house operation was very important to her, so she would pay for the initial raft points, which would be considered as her investment.
Then, she dragged Zheng Feifei to the milk tea shop next door, swiped Zheng Feifei's ice-blue wristband, and threw a few small gold bars into the machine.
Zheng Feifei was shocked to see the balance of raft points on her wristband change from three digits to five digits.
“This is too much!”
"Not much, not much. Just hire three people and pay them according to the highest employee remuneration standards." Shu Fu naturally had the freedom to do so. After all, all the materials that entered through this machine, whether it was food or gold, would eventually enter her space.
This means that any points exchanged by her are actually free. However, these points are very important to her friends. Hiring three employees can solve the source of raft points for three people. With raft points, they don’t have to consume their original supplies whether they stay in a hotel, eat snacks or buy milk tea.
For them, they could continue to live on the raft by working hard and earning points. They had something to do, could see what their future life would be like, and would not feel that they were completely dependent on Shu Fu's protection and support, so their self-worth was fully reflected.
"But I still have a lot of work to do, and it's pretty tiring. There's no garbage disposal, and some of the work is pretty dirty. Are there really three people willing to come and help?"
It turns out that everyone really wants to eat meat, so they all want to build a good breeding house. In addition, everyone knows that Jiang Dai, who went to the planting house to help, also got some vegetables after the first batch matured. Just like the employee benefits in the past, although they didn't rely on these, they were close to the water after all.
So as soon as we saw the notice for hiring people at the breeding house, almost everyone went.
Even Jiang Dai went there for the interview.
Xu Tingfeng silently looked at Yue Dong and Jiang Dai who were waiting for the interview, and couldn't help but said, "I understand Yue Dong coming here, but don't you work in the planting house?"
"I was just a helper there, for only two days, but here it's four days. Even if I work two jobs, I still have one day to rest." Jiang Dai calculated it clearly.
Xu Tingfeng: ...
Is it so curly now?
He couldn't help but think of his resentful brother. He wanted to work in the milk tea shop, but unfortunately the shop was not hiring.
Zheng Feifei's interview was much more formal and cautious than those of Lu Zheng and Yao Ruoyun. After all, she knew that these animal cubs were hard to come by. Even if the facilities in the breeding house were very advanced, she knew how destructive the clumsy ones could be.
After more than two hours of interviews, finally, the big guys Longsheng, Wu Shaoshan and Yue Dong became new employees of the breeding house raft. They started work on the same day and were paid on a daily basis.
Wu Shaoshan originally wanted to ask Zhang Tian to go with her. Although she also wanted to go to the milk tea shop, she didn’t know when the milk tea shop would open, and secondly, the breeding house offered a lot of raft points!
Although it is some tiring work, it does not require working non-stop for 8 hours. The beehive rooms where animals are raised are basically equipped with fully automatic facilities. You just need to pay more attention, remember the time, and move your fingers.
The raft points she earned every day, after paying for her room, could also allow her to eat at snack stalls and save some.
She didn't understand why Zhang Tian didn't go with such a good opportunity to earn raft points, but everyone has different ideas. Although she felt a little strange, she would not force others, even if the other person was her former roommate and current roommate.
Zheng Feifei originally thought that Zhang Tian would come with Wu Shaoshan, as they all escaped from Zhashui County together. Even though she originally wanted to hire strong employees, they were all Shu Fu's roommates, and she had decided to hire them as long as they came for an interview.
But in the end, only Wu Shaoshan came. She made the decision for the remaining two spots after checking everyone's efficiency in learning to operate the facilities in the breeding house, their meticulous work during cleaning and tidying up, and the reasons why they wanted to work in the breeding house.
Later, Shu Fu asked her how she chose Yue Dong. After all, compared with Xu Tingfeng, Yue Dong was thinner and not as strong as Xu Tingfeng.
"Because he said he didn't want his wife to be too tired and always wanted to work two jobs. The breeding house has many work points. If he can work here, his wife can continue to work two days a week and play five days a week like now..."
Shu Fu: ...
It turns out that Xu Tingfeng lost because he didn’t have a wife…
On the morning of the second day after the breeding house was officially launched, Shu Fu received a call from Cheng Yu.
