Chapter Six: The First Pot of Gold



The space in the dimensional space is only so big, and the things that can be put in it are very limited. I still have to buy a house, a big detached house. My hometown is too close to the coast. In the second year of the apocalypse, the melting of glaciers will cause the sea level to rise, and that place will become a vast ocean.

Qingshui City is located in an inland plain, so it is relatively safe. We are considering relocating for the time being. However, the housing prices in Qingshui City are not low. A large detached house is almost the same price as a villa, which would be another huge sum of money.

The thought of this gave Lu Yuan a headache.

Just then, Lu Yuan's phone rang. He answered it, and his mother's joyful voice came from the other end: "Yuan, I have great news for you! The village chief's family has agreed to lend you money, so you can buy a house in the city!"

Lu Yuan was torn. He was desperately short of money, but he didn't want to get involved with Chen Han's family.

"Mom! Don't lend me that money... I have a way to make money."

"What? You have a way to make money? You've only been out of school for a short time! How could you possibly have money?" Mom simply didn't believe her son had that ability. Her biggest worry right now was Lu Yuan's marriage.

"Really, you don't need to worry about it. I have a way. Don't borrow it for now. Besides, you have to pay back the money you borrow. Not only will there be interest, but you'll also owe them a huge favor." Lu Yuan felt more confident when he thought about his dimensional space.

However, a violent cough came from the other end of the phone, followed by a good scolding from his father.

"You brat, what do you know! You're so young and you're always aiming too high. How much money can you even make? Do you know how many times I've run around trying to borrow money? You think you can just say you won't lend it to me? How are you going to get married in the future?! Next time you come back, bring Xiaoshan with you! Do you hear me?!" His father snatched the phone and started yelling. Lu Yuan had no choice but to keep agreeing.

There was no way to reason with his father, so he could only try his mother. His father was stubborn and extremely chauvinistic, so Lu Yuan could only nod in agreement. He never listened to any other reason, whether it was good or bad.

The only one who can control Dad is Mom. Outside, no matter what Dad says, Mom will agree with a smile. But it's different when they get home. As soon as Mom frowns, Dad immediately backs down. He's a typical henpecked husband.

In the apocalypse, his father's several wrong decisions almost led to the destruction of his family, so Lu Yuan felt that he needed to take control of all the decisions, big and small, within the family.

And his mother loves him the most. As long as Lu Yuan asks, she will definitely not say no. She is a typical doting mother. Starting with his mother is a good choice.

After hanging up the phone, his mother secretly texted him again, telling him not to be angry with his father, that he was just that kind of person, all bark and no bite. Lu Yuan understood that his father just loved him too much, and if anything happened to him, his father would definitely be the first to rush to his aid. He knew his parents too well.

Having successfully persuaded his mother not to borrow money, Lu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he had borrowed money, he might have had to repay a huge debt of gratitude when the apocalypse came. Besides, considering that the other party killed him in his dream, he would definitely not have anything to do with them.

Three days later, the first batch of lobsters finally matured, and they were much larger with plump tails, unlike the cheap and flashy ones sold outside. Moreover, their weight had doubled, and the previous daily output of 200 jin (100 kg) could now reach about 400 jin (200 kg).

Heat oil in a wok, add Sichuan peppercorns and chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant, then add minced garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Next, add the cleaned crayfish, a bottle of beer to enhance the flavor, and some spices. Perfect!

Fifteen minutes later, when the pot lid was lifted, the room was filled with the aroma of garlic, and Lu Yuan's mouth almost watered.

The neighbors next door began to voice their dissatisfaction.

"Who is this?! Garlic lobster so early in the morning, can't a person even... slurp, cough cough, let me savor this garlic aroma and have a good dream!"

"Holy crap! The kids in my family are practically crying with envy! This is outrageous! Which household did this? I'm bringing bowls and chopsticks to settle the score!"

"This is outrageously extravagant! Eating such a lavish meal so early in the morning! They're living the high life!"

...

Reach out and grab a lobster, suck on the shell and the freshness is off the charts! Tear off the shell and the plump lobster meat is revealed, one is as big as two! Absolutely perfect!

I found a styrofoam box, packed 20 kilograms of lobsters, and headed to the night market.

At 10 a.m., everyone in the night market was busy preparing for tonight's dishes. The night market owner was lying on a deck chair with a cigarette in his mouth, looking at his phone, while several aunties helping out in the kitchen were washing lobsters and preparing vegetables for tonight's dishes.

The night market vendor spotted Lu Yuan from afar.

"Huh? It's you?" Clearly, the other person still remembered him.

Without further ado, Lu Yuan directly unloaded the ten-pound foam box from the tram.

"Hmm! It's quite big, looks good. Where did you get it?"

"Hehe, you try it first and then tell me." Of course, Lu Yuan wouldn't tell him where he got the lobster.

Then the owner personally cooked the lobster, and soon a plate was ready.

Tear open the lobster tail, and the snow-white, plump lobster meat is immediately revealed.

"Forty-one jin, that's the most I can do!"

After finalizing the price, Lu Yuan agreed to supply the night market owner with 50 catties of lobsters every day. He then went to other night market stalls to promote his products. It worked very well, with 400 catties every day. In this way, Lu Yuan could earn 16,000 yuan a day. The cost was almost zero, and there were no labor costs. It was practically a zero-cost business, much more than he had expected.

The watermelons in the black soil have been successfully harvested for the second time. Moreover, Lu Yuan discovered some incredibly good news that drove him crazy: because there is no night or seasons in the dimensional space, the vines of seedless watermelons can produce watermelons indefinitely. All that is needed is to periodically prune the top buds to limit the length of the vines, and then nothing else needs to be done. It's like a crop with cheat codes. Similarly, Lu Yuan concluded that all vine plants have this characteristic of unlimited growth, and they don't take up much space.

Two days ago, the watermelons that Lu Yuan had set up at the market for half an hour were sold out. There was even a hotel purchasing manager who directly asked Lu Yuan to deliver watermelons every day, as many as he wanted. Lu Yuan readily agreed.

The pond in the space no longer needs lobster seedlings. The lobsters inside produce a large number of lobster seedlings every day. Lu Yuan plans to clear out some of the lobsters and switch to raising other aquatic products. The water in the pond is particularly deep, about ten meters deep, which is enough to raise some other fish.

Another piece of good news is that, after testing, sea fish can also grow in ponds, which made Lu Yuan so excited he almost jumped for joy.

A few days later, Lu Yuan had nearly 100,000 yuan in his account. He had bought some Australian lobsters and king crabs to raise in the wild a few days ago. However, judging from their growth rate, it would take some time before they were mature enough to be sold on the market. After all, the maturation cycle of Australian lobsters and king crabs is at least half a year. Even with the dimensional space, it would still take more than half a month before they could be sold. Lu Yuan planned to wait a month before making a decision, because the price of Australian lobsters is calculated based on their size. The larger they are raised, the more expensive they will be.

His immediate priority is to buy a house. Without a house, he has nowhere to store the grains, seeds, seasonings, daily necessities, and poultry he needs to stockpile. He can't just leave them at the landlord's house, or he'll be embarrassed if they all get taken away.

Therefore, having your own house is quite important.
