Zeng Wei looked at the sales information of cotton coats and trousers on the task board with surprise, and hurried to the knitting hut.
At this time, there were more than 20 people queuing up in the weaving hut. The first person in line looked familiar. Zeng Wei took a closer look and found that it was Li Mu.
Didn't she have clothes issued by the territory? She was still wearing a coat, so why did she come to buy clothes?
Zeng Wei didn't think twice before heading towards the queue. Sure enough, the window of the small shop opened quickly, and the people in front of him bought things very quickly, all leaving with smiles on their faces.
Finally it was Zeng Wei's turn. He stood in front of the window, but before he could even marvel at the beautiful decorations, he was stunned by the price tag, which could be called "cheap" -
12 points! A set of cotton-padded clothes and pants for only 12 points!
Zeng Wei: “?”
He couldn't help hugging his empty arm in his short-sleeved shirt. After coming here, he felt like a fool for dirtying his clothes just to pretend to be a beggar.
He only had one set of dirty clothes, which he couldn't wash, and even wore himself out feeling slovenly. Luckily, there was a community market, and he splurged on a secondhand T-shirt from a shop, spending a whopping 20 points! Finally, he had two T-shirts to wear back and forth.
Now... a set of cotton-padded clothes and pants for only 12 points?!
Zeng Wei felt that he was a big victim.
After obtaining the NPC's consent, Zeng Wei wiped his hands on his pants and put on a light white cotton coat.
The cotton coat is quite thick, weighing in at 200 grams, and the pants are slim-fitting. The fabric has a short, barely visible fuzz, but it's warm just by the touch. The one or two black specks are impurities left by cotton seeds, but they're not a problem.
The cotton coat and trousers come in a set, with 20 sets each of small, medium and large sizes. If you want a smaller or larger size, you will have to spend 15 points to customize it yourself.
There were only one or two sets of medium size left at this moment, and Zeng Wei quickly took two sets of medium size.
The NPC looked at him expressionlessly: "One person can only purchase one set within seven days."
So... Zeng Wei reluctantly put down one of the sets. At this moment, the people behind him had begun to urge him. He hurriedly paid the money, took the clothes, and left the weaving hut with ease and returned to his own small house.
Xu Lu had just finished work and was inspecting her "property" when she happened to see Zeng Wei walking out in new clothes.
She first tutted in disdain, "New clothes? You haven't even washed them before wearing them." Suddenly, she looked at his clothes in shock, "Isn't this a territory cotton coat? What civil servant would be so short of money as to sell it?"
Zeng Wei: "..." He said kindly: "Don't you know? The Knitting House has started selling cotton-padded clothes. I think the medium size is sold out, but there are still plenty of small sizes. Go and have a look!"
Xu Lu was shocked and hurried to the knitting hut before she could finish her words. After a while, she came back with a bitter face and slung her shoulders: "All sold out!"
Sold out? So fast?
Seeing her bitter face, Zeng Wei advised: "If it's sold out today, just buy it tomorrow!"
Xu Lu was desperate: "How would you know!" The second disaster was the drop in temperature. It had not been specifically publicized, and many people came to the territory after the blood moon, so naturally they didn't know.
After Xu Lu told Zeng Wei about this, she sighed again: "Who complains about thick clothes? If the temperature really drops, this one cotton coat won't be enough! I'd better have a few more! Besides, don't forget, this is the end of the world! The temperature drop is not just ordinary temperature drop, it's a disaster!"
"I feel..." she murmured, "someone is getting anxious."
Sure enough, the news of selling cotton-padded jackets spread throughout the territory, triggering a rush to buy them.
That day, without anyone noticing, cotton-padded jackets were being sold at sky-high prices. A single piece of cotton-padded jacket and trousers could be sold for 30 points! Later, the price had soared to 50 points!
The knitting team only found out about this outrageous incident after they got off work. They quickly clarified that everyone had at least one cotton coat, and there would be sweaters and down jackets later, so they asked everyone not to rush to buy them.
Little did they know, the atmosphere was already heated, who would think carefully about what they were saying? These were life-saving clothes, and since there were people selling them, buyers kept coming.
The number of people in ordinary shops in the market was much smaller, and there were only a few people who were selling their cotton-padded jackets, and their fronts were crowded with people.
One of the middle-aged men, Luo Zhiwen, had three sets of cotton-padded jackets in different sizes, large, medium and small, placed in front of him. Each set was priced at 100 points.
Looking at the different sizes of large, medium and small, you can tell that he sold all the cotton-padded clothes of his whole family.
"We're so lucky! We happened to be out as a family and came across a cotton-padded jacket seller!" Luo Zhiwen confirmed, "They don't sell individual pieces, they're all 100 points a piece, no bargaining."
He felt that his chance to make a fortune had come. Later that day, he saw a man selling cotton-padded clothes and curiously went over to join in the fun. When he saw that he had sold 30 points, he immediately became excited.
When he got home, he saw his daughter trying on clothes and quickly asked her to take them off to avoid getting them dirty. He then cleaned them up and took them to the market to set up a stall. His wife's objections were useless because he was the one who made the money and he had the final say.
"Don't you know the next disaster is a drop in temperature?" Xu Lu, who had been anxious about her cotton-padded clothes all day, came to watch the fun. She knew the man's daughter, who was only seven or eight years old, and said with pity, "These are life-saving clothes!"
Luo Zhiwen glared at the little girl with disgust. "How nosy!" However, he was doing business now, so he couldn't get angry. He smiled hypocritically and said, "Thank you for your concern. I know."
In his heart, he thought Xu Lu had farted, and it was worth 300 points! Luo Zhiwen felt a surge of excitement. What's the big deal about winter? This disaster isn't that scary, is it? It will pass if we just fight it out, and besides...
Points can’t be earned all at once just by fighting!
Luo Zhiwen was determined to sell these cotton-padded jackets and make a fortune! No matter how much he tried to persuade her, her shouting became even louder.
At this moment, Ye Miaomiao was still unaware of the craze for cotton-padded clothes in the territory. She was drowsily listening to the mechanic explaining the operating principle of the "steam centrifugal cannon", and her eyes almost squinted.
Finally, when the final conclusion was reached, Ye Miaomiao was cheered up!
"So, can the centrifugal cannon be installed on the city wall?" Ye Miaomiao asked excitedly.
Mechanic: "..." Da looked at Ye Miaomiao speechlessly. His first sentence was "I think from the perspective of...principle, from the perspective of...force, it can be installed." It seemed that the lord didn't hear a word and was just distracted!
He nodded silently, pretending he hadn't said it, and repeated: "It can be installed."
"Great!" Ye Miaomiao happily picked up the drawings of the centrifugal gun.
At present, the centrifugal gun still has some technical immaturity, so we can install semi-finished products first. After several tests and the technology matures, we can directly upgrade it to a finished product.
Considering that there were a total of twenty security personnel, Ye Miaomiao placed ten centrifugal cannons side by side at the main gate of the wall and another ten around it.
System monsters will attack the main gate because the gate has the lowest health, so place ten of them at the entrance of the territory to protect the main gate.
Although the walls around have high health, there are other territories in the north and south. In order to prevent sneak attacks from the territories and for deterrence, Ye Miaomiao also placed ten around them.
However, residents will no longer be able to climb the city walls at will.
After the placement was completed, Ye Miaomiao filled one of them and asked the mechanic to start the experiment.
She locked the city wall on the light screen. From now on, no one except the security team mechanic and her could climb up the city wall at will.
Just after locking the door, I saw an NPC, holding a pile of clothes, standing at the entrance of the city wall. Blocked by an invisible light screen, he kept trying to move up.
Ye Miaomiao: “…” The NPC restrictions were lifted.
He finally got up unhindered.
Ye Miaomiao called him and then remembered that she was worried that the security team would be cold on night shift, so she asked the knitting hut to change the quota of making three-piece bedding sets to making twenty sets of cotton coats and hats. She didn't expect that they would be completed so quickly.
The jacket is very thick and has three layers. The outer layer is made of special linen, gray and stain-resistant. The middle layer is made of cotton, sewn like a quilt and can be removed for easy washing. The inner layer is sweat-absorbing cotton cloth to keep warm.
The screen displays a message: [Quilted Jacket: 600g, Insulation 20°C, Comfort +5]
The hat also has two layers, the outside is made of pure linen cloth, the inside is lined with various animal hair materials, and there are two earmuffs, which are also detachable.
After checking it, Ye Miaomiao asked the NPC to deliver it with satisfaction.
These clothes are warm during the day, and the cotton layer can be removed. When it's cold at night, it can be put back on. This way, you can keep warm and cool without getting cold. Ye Miaomiao really wanted to give the knitting team a thumbs up.
After receiving the coats, the team members put them on with great joy. They realized that the coats were made with great care and sincerity. They were all very moved: "The boss still thinks of us!"
"We are the first people in the territory to wear cotton-padded jackets!"
Only the two of them looked at each other. They still remembered the day when the eldest brother sent a quilt to Fang Yan. At that time, the eldest brother said that Fang Yan was prone to catching cold. As a result, within a day, they all received cotton jackets.
This... is there any connection?
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became. When they were getting ready to go home for dinner after get off work, they didn't even notice the surprised, envious and jealous looks from the people around them.
It was not until the team members were carrying their lunch bowls home that they met their father, a gold medal salesman.
He looked at his son with dismay, and the latter grumbled, "Today's food is not good enough for rice. I made such a big pot, and now I can only eat it with sesame sauce and eggs."
Father: "..." He tapped his son's head: "Is the egg cracked?"
"What?" The team member was surprised: "It's not open! I haven't even taken it yet? What's going on?"
"Ask you, have you figured it out? Don't you see all the people outside staring at you? And you're walking around so brazenly, as if you're afraid others won't know you got new clothes?"
"Ah?" The team member was about to show off, but he felt that his father's eyes were not right, so he forced himself to hold back.
After his father told him about the extremely expensive sweater tonight, he was shocked and said, "Is there such a thing? Can love really make people blind, so that the lord would give us such an expensive thing?"
Father:"?"
"Let's not talk too much!" The team member quickly dropped the food bowl and said, "I have to go find the captain to see what to do. I also need to talk to the boss."
"After all..." The team member said meaningfully, "There are precedents of people being jealous of our good things."
The foolish son, whose eyes were usually full of clarity, could now say these words. The father sighed deeply and was about to say that he could finally rest assured when he saw him take out two sesame eggs from the cupboard and crack them into the bowl.
"You still have to eat while you go, or it will get cold soon."
As he said this, he hurried out while stirring the rice. His back while eating was still the familiar one... silly and stupid.
.
With Ye Miaomiao's help, the mechanic finally achieved a lot of results. Of course, most of the help was in terms of physical strength, after all, Ye Miaomiao knew nothing about steam engines.
By the end of the day, although there were occasional blanks and the technology wasn't perfect yet, the centrifugal cannon was already twice as powerful as an ordinary iron arrow, so it could be said that it had reached its basic power.
Ye Miaomiao also invited the mechanic to dinner. After spending a day together, she realized that this man was a real expert, and Ye Miaomiao had to win him over.
However, as soon as I got off the fence, I received a private message from the weaving team -
"Lord, someone is selling his cotton coat at a high price!"
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
What she cares about is: "How high is the price?"
“100 points!”
Ye Miaomiao was shocked. How could a cotton coat be sold for 100 points? Did she have to sell it for 12 points to be considered a freeloader?
Ye Miaomiao asked, "Doesn't he know that the next disaster will be a frozen snowfield? Doesn't he know that with the territory's productivity, each person can only have two sets of cotton clothes at most?"
Reply: "He knows everything!"
Ye Miaomiao: “…” Is this person not caring about his life?
Each person was given a quota of two sweaters, and it was up to him to decide whether to sell them or keep them. However, Ye Miaomiao couldn't just sit there and watch the territory fall into chaos. She pondered for a moment and put down two notices.
[Items sold in the Territory's Hungry Hungry Shop cannot be resold at twice the price or more.]
However, some transactions might be hidden in secret, and Ye Miaomiao couldn't control them. She added: [Any resale transactions will not be protected by the territory. Unwanted items can be recycled in the shop, and needed items can be purchased in the shop.]
Now that the scale of hunger has gradually grown, it is time to formulate some clear regulations to prevent the territory from getting into chaos.
Ye Miaomiao thought about it, opened the private message interface, and notified the researcher to study "Technology: Law".
Several days passed like this. The mechanics studied the steam centrifugal gun, the researchers studied the law, the cotton-padded clothes sellers sold their cotton-padded clothes, and everyone worked. As time passed, the law was finally developed as Ye Miaomiao expected.
Of course, there were some minor incidents along the way.
First, on the morning of the sixteenth day, a blond, blue-eyed man was stopped at the gate of the Hungry Hungry territory. The security guards knew very well that he was not a permanent resident of Hungry Hungry, because the Hungry Hungry territory was full of locals.
"I'm a traveling merchant, a temporary resident from the territory of San Marco, and I'm here to trade." The man spoke in English, and for some reason several people could understand him. They looked at each other in curiosity.
"Are you going to turn away business? I brought points with me, and I won't cause any trouble. I just want to buy some things in your territory and bring them back to San Marco's territory to sell."
He said there was no problem, but apart from the frequent visitors from Yunshen Yuanshun's lord who had made a deal with his own lord, no residents from other territories wanted to enter the Hunghunghung territory.
After thinking for a moment, the team member sent a private message to Ye Miaomiao.
It was normal for traveling merchants to come and purchase things, so Ye Miaomiao agreed without much thought. However, cotton-padded clothes and iron weapons were strategic items, so she restricted the merchants' purchases.
The second thing was that on the twentieth day, a scandal broke out in the territory.
When Luo Zhiwen was able to buy cotton-padded clothes for the second time, he forced his wife and daughter to take them with him to buy cotton-padded clothes, and took them all away without leaving a single piece, leaving his wife and daughter sobbing in the house.
Everyone around him advised him not to sell it because it was the last batch of cotton-padded clothes in the territory.
The territory had already started selling sweaters a few days ago. They were all cashmere and very warm. It seemed the knitting team's previous advice not to panic-buy cotton-padded clothes was entirely true. After all, can't everyone afford a sweater?
There was no one queuing even at the door of the weaving hut. Since each person only had one piece, no one was in a hurry to queue.
Many people who bought cotton-padded clothes at high prices began to regret it, and some even wanted a refund.
But I have no money left, but I do have a new cotton-padded jacket.
Luo Zhiwen found a mysterious buyer from somewhere, who bought his three sets of cotton-padded clothes at a high price of 300 points, and even wanted to buy a sweater at a price of 200 points each!
Luo Zhiwen was blinded by greed and sold his share of sweaters - he was rich, what else did he not have?
However, sweaters were rare and each person only had one, so he wanted to use the same trick again and took his wife and daughter to get their share.
This time, his wife and daughter refused to obey. The weaving team wasn't stupid robots! Luo Zhiwen pulled his wife and daughter to the window. The weaving team workers said they wouldn't sell to him no matter what, which made him so angry that he threw a tantrum.
Many people in the territory gathered around to eat melons and saw a big joke.
However, rumors spread that the mysterious buyer still had ample funds. Many people who had previously sold clothes to Luo Zhiwen asked for his contact information and then resold their clothes, making a killing. Whether they truly made a profit, however, would only become clearer to themselves.
On the 21st day, the laws of the Hungry Hungry Territory were finally released.
But...the law is a blank book.
Ye Miaomiao: “…” She silently added the previously issued notice [Products from the Hungry Hungry Shop cannot be resold at high prices, and resale is not protected], and then the font was embedded in the booklet, automatically categorized as “Commercial Law”.
Looking at the blank legal booklet with only one sentence on it, Ye Miaomiao felt that she had a long way to go.
She threw the booklet into the training camp. The security team had been law enforcement officers for some time, so they should be more experienced in this area. She asked them to summarize a few rules for managing the territory.
The words they wrote on it will temporarily become options and will only become real law after Ye Miaomiao ticks it.
Then throw the booklet to the weaving team, the farmer team, the miner team...to gather their ideas.
Ye Miaomiao: Then I don’t have to use my brain!
Get the plan!
After the law is finalized, all formal and temporary residents can check it on their own territory platforms, and Ye Miaomiao will send the notification to the group.
Some people who were eager to return their cotton-padded jackets gave up the idea completely when they saw that this notice had become a law and was followed by a suffix: "Violators will be fined and their items will be confiscated."
If you suffer a loss, you have to accept it.
However... when they saw the last line that said "Rewards for reporting," they looked at each other, each seeing eagerness in the other's eyes—
Who isn’t an active resident of Chaoyang District?
