Chapter 90 [VIP]
After the post station was successfully built, Xiao Zhao from City B Base followed Fu Chun to Taoyuan Base. Originally, in Xiao Zhao's mind, Taoyuan Base lived up to its name, a paradise on earth.
I never imagined that it would become not only a paradise in the apocalyptic world, but also a pure land in the apocalyptic world. In the Taoyuan base, even though the outside world has become a frost world, it is still full of vitality.
Mingzhu got up early today, put on a thick winter suit and a fox fur coat, and stood at the door of a restaurant with a furry face.
The restaurant's chef and assistant cook were a married couple, likely from Northeast China. The chef's surname was Zhang, and so was the assistant cook. The assistant, known as Mrs. Zhang, was a master at making pastries. Her steamed buns were especially large and delicious.
Mingzhu was watching, and what he saw was the moment when Mrs. Zhang opened the steamer, and the white mist wrapped in the sweet fragrance of red date steamed buns gushed out.
"Freshly baked red date steamed buns," said Mrs. Zhang cheerfully. "In weather like this, eating red date steamed buns is incredibly sweet."
Mingzhu still ordered a red date steamed bun. When he was biting it, he happened to meet Fu Chun and Xiao Zhao walking over.
"Boss," Fu Chun called out. "This is Comrade Zhao Yao, from City B."
"Would you like some red date steamed buns?" Mingzhu greeted slowly. "Mrs. Zhang not only makes steamed buns, but also steamed buns and flower rolls. They're all delicious."
"Hearing what you said, I must try it."
Fu Chunting was so 'kind' that he paid for a few red date steamed buns. After handing a few to Xiao Zhao, he also picked up a red date steamed bun and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
"This steamed bun tastes delicious," Fu Chun exclaimed. "It's a pity that when I ate at Taoyuan Inn, Chef Jin rarely steamed buns."
"That can't be helped." Mingzhu said with a smile, "My Jin Dashao cooks as he pleases. We eat whatever he cooks. He doesn't accept orders."
Fu Chun: "...This is great. It provides other restaurants with more production space."
"Really?"
Mingzhu smiled and began to ask about Xiao Zhao's situation. At this time, Xiao Zhao had already finished a red date steamed bun and was about to eat the second one.
After hearing Mingzhu's question, Xiao Zhao stopped eating and asked with a bright smile what supplies were available for sale at Taoyuan Base.
"Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all fine." Mingzhu replied.
"Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all available here?" Xiao Zhao was surprised: "They even sell houses here?"
"Yes, building blueprints similar to those of post stations can be sold." Mingzhu began to introduce the Taoyuan base, which has been upgraded to the maximum level, and listed all the building blueprints that can be sold.
Prices vary, with the cheapest costing hundreds of thousands of Starlight Coins. Well, I'm talking about a courtyard house that can be used for both planting and farming, is warm in winter and cool in summer, and comes equipped with a fireplace and a cellar. As for the ice room, hey, that's a separate price.
"If you're considering buying one, go find Jin Suanpan, Tonghua, or Zhang Junfang, Huo Mingzhen, and others to register."
"Oh, you can also register with me, but I'm mainly responsible for making nutrient soil and cultivating seeds. Normally, I won't be at Taoyuan Inn."
Xiao Zhao listened carefully: "Then the others are also staying at Taoyuan Inn?"
"Yeah," Mingzhu continued. "Normally, Zhang Junfang isn't at Taoyuan Base. The ones who are usually there are usually his subordinates, right, Fu Chun?"
Fu Chun nodded and said that if he stayed in the base, he would also report to Taoyuan Inn to help with some simple matters.
"You can continue shopping now," Mingzhu said with a smile. "Once you've decided what you want to buy, go to Taoyuan Base to register."
"By the way, the currency at Taoyuan Base is Starlight Coins. If you need anything, you can exchange it with the supplies you brought and crystal cores."
Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then, accompanied by Fu Chun, Xiao Zhao and his companions spent several hours touring the entire Taoyuan base.
And this is only possible with a fast means of transportation. Without it, it would take several hours to fully explore the entire Taoyuan base.
At present, Taoyuan Base is fully equipped with various facilities, whether it is safety, education, food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc., and the warmth is well provided.
Look, when we walked to the Imperial Hospital, we saw hired nurses coming in and out. It seemed very busy, and in fact, they were very busy.
The nurses were all dressed in thick clothes. They did not wear the simple and pale white nurse uniforms. They all wore the defensive green military uniforms. Some of them wore thick but light Hanfu.
Steaming hot soup is placed at the entrance and exit of the gate, and passers-by can have a bowl for free.
Xiao Zhao and his companions had discovered that the entire Taoyuan base was not short of food. Besides cultivating crops on their own special farmland, they also cultivated crops on wasteland outside the base. The harvest was uncertain, but overall, life had become more stable.
I also visited farmland, poultry houses, fish ponds, ponds and pig farms.
I hesitated and asked if I could only buy the plans for the courtyard houses, but not the plans for the residential areas?
While Fu Chun was accompanying him on the tour, he had already learned in advance what architectural drawings were currently available for sale at the Taoyuan base.
Among the drawings of the houses, only the drawings of the Sijichunju courtyard were drawn by Mingzhu himself (modified).
Four types of plants can be planted according to actual needs. Bamboo, peach tree, pear tree and elm tree. As well as peach tree,
And the Four Seasons Spring Residence map sold to the public says that there is no need to upgrade, and the initial building area is 640 square meters.
The highest building is 5 stories high, and the left and right wing rooms are up to 4 stories high. There is also a garden on the top floor where small animals can be grown.
With such comprehensive facilities and thoughtful considerations, selling one home for 1 million Starlight Coins was not excessive at all. When Fu Chun introduced it, he also urged Xiao Zhao and the others to think carefully: a fully furnished, self-sufficient courtyard house, warm in winter and cool in summer, could be sold for 1 million Starlight Coins at a very low price.
"But a drawing can only be used once."
"Yes, it can only be used once, otherwise you would think it was a game. Even if it was a game, a blueprint can only be used once."
"...You have a point."
"It's not just reasonable, it's very reasonable," Fu Chun continued. "We're almost done shopping. If you want to buy something, let's go register first, then buy it. After that, we can go back early so that the people at your base won't be waiting anxiously."
"You are chasing away customers." Xiao Zhao smiled helplessly, ended his 'stroll', and followed Fu Chun to Taoyuan Inn to register.
The people currently at Taoyuan Base were Tonghua and Huo Mingzhen. As for Mingzhu and Jin Suanpan, it was clear that those who needed to rest were resting, while those who needed to do research were doing research.
Tonghua and Huo Mingzhen were extremely skilled in registration, exchanging crystal cores (supplies) for starlight coins, and processing personal identity cards.
Xiao Zhao and others were quickly registered, and tourist versions of their personal identity cards were processed at the same time, with an equal amount of Starlight Coins deposited on each person's card.
"You can buy them at the vegetable market and major shops. Some products have limited availability, not just for outsiders with tourist ID cards, but because of the shortage of raw materials, it's difficult for people in the base to buy them."
Huo Mingzhen gave a brief explanation and asked Fu Chun to do more work and take Xiao Zhao and others to the vegetable market and other places to buy supplies.
Xiao Zhao said to wait a moment and asked where to buy the architectural drawings.
"Oh, architectural blueprints. Usually, Ms. Jin Suanpan takes care of them. Since she's on vacation today, I'll go find Sister Tonghua."
Huo Mingzhen looked at Tonghua, who smiled shyly. She took out a tablet and pulled out the drawings that could be sold. She asked Xiao Zhao and the others to look at them carefully one by one, and then take them out after Haozi decided which architectural drawings to buy.
"The Sijichunju quadrangle, the Tang Taizong cool palace, the Xiyangyang greenhouse, the arrow tower, the cellar... it looks like a lot, but it feels not very different."
"That's just your feeling." Tonghua gestured to Xiao Zhao and the others to look at the signatures on the blueprints. "These all had to be drawn by our boss himself. He worked really hard."
However, it is not the case. You only need to draw the Mingzhu yourself the first time, and you only need to hand it over to 184 for subsequent copying.
But this does not prevent Mingzhu from shouting about his hard work, and Tonghua and other NPCs also praise Mingzhu's hard work.
"Oh, by the way, I heard from Yu Xiaowan that someone at the market is selling their homemade rice wine on consignment," Huo Mingzhen suddenly said. "It's only for a few days. The person will have to go to work at the winery."
"The one recruited by Mr. Drunkard?" Tonghua Hao Ziqi was surprised.
"No." Jin Shaoyao came over and gave Tonghua and Huo Mingzhen a bottle of Qiuli Paste. "The boss hired him. He's an alcoholic and he's drunk every day. How can he hire people?"
Tonghua nodded thoughtfully.
"Sister Shaoyao, can you make some medicinal wine for consignment?" Tonghua suggested.
"Ah, this sounds really troublesome," Jin Shaoyao said. "Medicinal herbs have been in short supply in Yaowang Valley lately, and I have to keep replanting them."
As they talked, Xiao Zhao and the others also mentioned that they were discussing the blueprints they wanted to buy. This time, they were carrying a large number of crystal cores.
There are hundreds of Level 5 Crystal Cores alone. As mentioned earlier, a Level 1 Crystal Core is exchanged for 1 Starlight Coin, a Level 2 Crystal Core is exchanged for 100 Starlight Coins, a Level 3 Crystal Core is exchanged for 1,000 Starlight Coins, a Level 4 Crystal Core is exchanged for 10,000 Starlight Coins, and a Level 5 Crystal Core is naturally exchanged for 100,000 Starlight Coins. Hundreds of Level 5 Crystal Cores can be exchanged for tens of millions of Starlight Coins, which is enough to buy a large amount at Taoyuan Base.
Look, Xiao Zhao spent 8.8 million to buy 10 blueprints of the Sijichunju courtyard house. According to the 10.8% discount for purchasing more than 10 blueprints, he saved 1.2 million Starlight Coins.
At the suggestion of his companions, Xiao Zhao also bought blueprints for special buildings such as the Green Sky Temple. He spent over 10 million Starlight Coins, leaving himself with tens of millions more, which he planned to use to buy a large amount of agricultural products at the market, as well as daily necessities and travel tools from the shops.
