refrigerator
Recently, the phrase "a refrigerator that costs 100 points" has become a common topic among people.
Along with the word "refrigerator", two new residential areas also appeared behind the residential area.
To meet the needs of everyone, Ye Miaomiao finally built a two-bedroom, one-living room suite. Three buildings formed a community, and each building still had eighteen apartments, but they were much larger than the previous single apartments.
Living together as a family, adding some necessary furniture and appliances, turning on the heater in the winter and eating ice cream in the summer. This ordinary life has become a dream that everyone strives for in the apocalypse.
"The daughter of a friend of my aunt's classmate's mom said her neighbor's daughter works at a research institute, researching air conditioning. She said the temperature fluctuations are still quite large, but it can cool now! I guess we'll be able to use it soon!"
A group of people suddenly felt hopeful—
"Eating ice cream in the air-conditioned room makes life perfect!"
"I didn't take good care of my air conditioner before the apocalypse. Now if I were given another chance, I would definitely take good care of it!"
"But refrigerators aren't as compact and convenient as they were before the apocalypse. They take up a lot of space! Add in air conditioning, and it's time to buy a two-bedroom apartment."
Everyone started teasing him about being "rich." Actually, a suite only cost 300 points, and with three official resident slots, it was the same as a single room, costing 100 points per person, so the total area per person was about the same.
Air conditioners still have to wait for a while, but refrigerators are already on the shelves in stores for everyone to buy.
Zhang Dahai led the way, directing his two companions behind him to carefully move the refrigerator from the store to his newly bought house.
Each slot in the backpack can only hold a limited amount of weight. The refrigerator weighed slightly more than the maximum load, so it had to be moved manually. Hiring an NPC to move it would cost extra. Fortunately, Zhang Dahai was once the lord of Little Yellow Dog Village, and most of the people stayed to form a group, so there were plenty of people to help move the refrigerator.
The envious gazes of passers-by made them straighten their chests involuntarily.
Zhang Dahai paid outright for the two-bedroom, one-living-room house. As a former feudal lord, he had saved quite a bit. However, after buying the house and the refrigerator, he didn't have many points left.
Four young men and an elderly man lived in one room, and seven women and children lived in another room. They were all from Little Yellow Dog Village. No one was rich, so Zhang Dahai took them in and planned to move out when he had enough points to buy a house.
"Now that we have a refrigerator, we can do more work. Before, we didn't have many items to cool down, so we didn't dare to go far, so we could only chop trees and mine. Now we have our own refrigerator and can enter the central area, where we can earn more points. Tomorrow morning, a few of us men will join the group to collect resources."
Zhang Dahai plugged in the refrigerator, and after making sure it worked, he said to everyone with satisfaction.
"Secondly, we can also make iced drinks. Iced drinks can be sold outside. They're hard to sell in the territory, but if we sell them on Taoduoduo, we can make quite a profit."
"Let's work harder, earn more money, and buy a house here to live permanently. Disasters are hard to prevent, and we finally have a chance to live a more peaceful life. We should also save more points for the future."
Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes gleaming with hope for the future.
Seeing this, Zhang Dahai couldn't help but sigh, if only he had come earlier to eat. It's a pity that several people died in the disaster, and they might not be able to live a stable life.
But it’s not too late now. Zhang Dahai clenched his fist silently - as long as he keeps his feet on the ground, he will surely lead the former residents of Little Yellow Dog Village to a better life.
At this moment, Hu Mifeng and Chen Hu just walked into E E E.
As soon as the two of them reached the central territory, they heard the lively hawking sounds in the food street—
"Cool ice porridge! A bowl of plain porridge costs three points, and you can get an extra chilled salted egg for one point! We also have meat and fish porridge for four points. Come and check it out!"
"Iced Korean cold noodles! Refreshing, with meat and vegetables, and free refills! Cools off the heat and satisfies hunger, 10 points a bowl!"
"Three points for a pure milk ice cream! There are many flavors, including chocolate, peanut crumbs, and strawberry jam!"
Chen Hu bought an ice cream and started eating it. Under Hu Mifeng's staring eyes, he awkwardly bought another one and handed it to Hu Mifeng.
"We came here for something today, so don't be distracted." Hu Mifeng reminded him and started eating the ice cream.
The ice cream has a strong milky aroma and a slightly oily and smooth texture. It is unexpectedly delicious and makes people forget that they are still in the apocalypse.
To be honest, they also have pure milk and refrigerators in their territory, but they don't have ice cream this delicious.
I think one reason is that there are too few refrigerators, and the other is that people don’t even bother to upgrade their life skills, let alone make ice cream.
Only the hungry residents can be so creative and study food even in the end of the world.
"Why are there ice drinks everywhere? Lord Ye's tools can't make so many ice cubes, right? Could it be that Lord Ye has mastered the ice-making technology?" Hu Mifeng whispered, "That's unlikely..."
As he was speaking, he saw two people passing by happily, carrying some electrical appliances that looked slightly familiar, but definitely not unfamiliar.
Hu Mifeng: “…” He spoke too early.
After experiencing many shocks, Hu Mifeng seemed to have been able to quickly accept the extraordinary development speed of Hungry Hungry.
He smiled wryly and shook his head. "She actually unlocked the refrigerator technology. Lord Ye has always been doing the right thing. I really don't know how she found the best option and kept going. We also traveled a lot to find out that cooling and sun protection items are just icing on the cake. The refrigerator and ice-making technology are the key to solving the problem."
"After spending a lot of money to buy refrigerators, which were only used by a small number of people, the hungry hungry hungry people were able to produce refrigerators and residents could buy them. It's unbelievable."
If Ye Miaomiao were here, she would just pat Hu Mifeng's shoulder earnestly.
As a stockpiler, she just keeps her feet on the ground and provides all the resources that are helpful in dealing with disasters.
There is no right or wrong choice, it’s all about stockpiling enough!
"Then we still need..."
Hu Mifeng nodded. "No matter what, human lives are at stake." He smiled bitterly and said, "At least we have to try."
Ye Miaomiao is currently collecting resources in the central area.
She was like a swarm of locusts, taking whatever resources she saw, like a little tyrant in the central area. In order to avoid getting in the way of the people in the territory, Ye Miaomiao deliberately avoided them.

......
Regardless of whether she knew them or not, as long as the system popped up a reminder, Ye Miaomiao would pick them up and put them in the warehouse. Two more warehouses were added in the afternoon.
Of course, rare plants were an exception. Ye Miaomiao stored them separately in a warehouse. The empty room was filled with shelves, but there were only about twenty plants stored.
These plants are incredibly rare, like the thousand-year-old ginseng found deep in the mountains. Even if you're lucky, you might only find two or three in a morning. If the disaster hadn't reached the intermediate level and we weren't in the central area with its beautiful natural environment, you wouldn't be able to find these rare plants no matter how hard you try!
After all, every precious food can permanently increase the attribute value of the user. Ye Miaomiao sighed, if it can be supplied unlimitedly, wouldn’t the player be invincible?
Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up. After absent-mindedly ending her search, she quickly returned to the territory.
Today is harvest day, and the vegetables are finally hitting the shelves, much to everyone's anticipation. Many people have bought refrigerators and stocked up on fresh fruits and vegetables.
Fortunately, everyone stockpiled appropriately, and Ye Miaomiao did not restrict them. No one understood the temptation of stockpiling better than her, so she stockpiled even more.
Ye Miaomiao happily found a free team of farmers——
"Boss, the soil is completely dry now. Let alone growing anything, even sowing seeds is a difficult task." One person said worriedly. At this time in the past, they would have already started preparing seeds for sowing.
"Yeah, I see that almost no one is farming on Taoduoduo anymore. They all go to the central area to collect."
"How about we..." one person backed out, "and go to the central district as well?"
Ye Miaomiao quickly shook her head to stop him, "Anyone can go to the Central District, but farming won't work without you."
She had a plan long ago, but she didn't know how to explain it at the time. Now she has found a way to explain it -
“Do you know how to cherish plants?”
Seeing the difficulty on their faces, Ye Miaomiao continued to explain, "Precious plants can bring permanent attribute improvements to people. However, their formation is often very complex. For example, Cordyceps cannot be cultivated artificially."
Ye Miaomiao took out the only Cordyceps and handed it to everyone——
【Cordyceps sinensis* cherish
Effect: Restores health points by 10, permanently increases strength by 1; restores hunger points, improves mood...]
The crowd watched, confused as to what he meant.
Ye Miaomiao then took out a small packet of "Devil Tech: Zombie Fertilizer." Written clearly on it were the words: "Plant Acquires Characteristics: Ignoring natural conditions (can grow without water, soil, or light), produces as usual with no side effects."
After a moment of confusion, everyone looked at each other and suddenly became extremely excited -
"Boss, are you saying... what if we can produce rare plants?"
"If not everyone can obtain this attribute, then we will be invincible and can walk sideways!"
Ye Miaomiao coughed lightly: It’s too early to say that.
There is another very important problem with large-scale planting - the rare plants in her warehouse can be counted on both hands, and some crops have fruits but no seeds.
Zombie fertilizer can only make plants grow, and the growth cycle and output quantity remain the same as normal.
In reality, the cultivation cycle of Cordyceps is three to four years, and in the game, there are at least two rounds of disasters. If you want to cultivate it on a large scale, the road ahead is long and arduous.
