"I open a breeding farm?" Ye Zhou was stunned when he heard this proposal.
How could he, a supermarket owner, open a farm? Moreover, farming was completely unknown to him. He didn't even know how long it took for an egg to hatch or how long it took to raise a chicken before it could be slaughtered.
Let him open a farm? Everyone must be prepared to lose everything.
Yang Guoqin shook his head: "It's not you who opened it, it's our cooperation. Now the base has little money."
Although supplies were sufficient, the tortillas that could be used as money were gone.
Ye Zhou thought about it and agreed. The "currency" of Luoyang Base is still tortillas. Because tortillas have purchasing power in supermarkets, the residents still do not use the official banknotes.
What's more, even if they used it, the banknotes would probably not be worth much.
Because even if the banknotes are valuable in Luoyang Base, they are worthless in other bases, which means they are worthless.
Therefore, if Yang Guoqin wanted to rebuild the monetary system, he would have to issue a new currency himself that could circulate in the Luoyang base.
But he is only the person in charge of a base after all. If he really issues his own currency, even if it is only circulated within the Luoyang base, he will probably be held accountable.
Yang Guoqin: "I've thought about it carefully. We are all used to bartering. The market and society are unstable. We don't know when the zombie tide will come. I think bartering is not a bad idea."
To barter, they need things that are produced by their supermarket and have stable value.
"Originally I wanted to use cloth." Yang Guoqin shrugged helplessly, "But our base doesn't produce cloth, and not every household can weave cloth."
It's not ancient times. How many people know how to weave cloth now? Even if they do, where did the loom come from?
Moreover, even if the machine produces, can the cloth produced on the assembly line really serve as "currency"? After all, once the machine is turned on, it can produce continuously.
Maybe within two days, the cloth will no longer have purchasing power in the supermarket.
After all, other bases, especially large bases, have many cloth-producing factories.
In contrast, the value of agricultural products is stable and it takes time to produce them. The reason why the value of tortillas has not dropped too much is because the output is stable and will not suddenly increase or decrease.
Ye Zhou still didn't understand: "How to cooperate? How to calculate the profit after cooperation?"
His income can only be obtained through system exchange. Living creatures cannot be preserved for long, and he cannot keep them alive and take them to the next plane for exchange.
Moreover, the prices of chickens and ducks, which are quickly sold, are not high at any level, and there is no need to resell them.
Yang Guoqin shook his head slightly: "The cooperation I mentioned is not about investing together, but I'm afraid we will have to buy everything we need from you, and we need you to keep an eye on it when we purchase it."
Ye Zhou felt relieved: "What do you all need? You can make a list for me, and I will give it to you if I can get in."
Yang Guoqin felt his shoulders suddenly relax, and the smile on his face was no longer so weak. He said with full energy: "That's good. I don't have any professionals in this field. I can't even find professional books on this subject. If I transfer it from other bases, I don't know how long it will take to receive it."
Transactions for private fleets are convenient, but those for official fleets are difficult, and all necessary procedures must be followed.
It is safe, and if something happens in the future we can find the person responsible, but it is also really troublesome.
If you are unlucky and several bases are attacked by zombie hordes, it is normal for a document to be delayed for a year or two.
"I'll have someone make the list tonight." Ye Zhou saw Yang Guoqin out when he left.
The two stood at the entrance of the supermarket.
"How's business lately?" Yang Guoqin had been dealing with Ye Zhou for a long time and seemed to really treat him as an ordinary supermarket owner. His tone of voice also became much more friendly, and he could now ask questions that were difficult to ask before.
Ye Zhou nodded: "Not as many as before, but it's good this way, I was too busy before."
He was so busy that he even dreamed about working when he went to bed at night.
The supermarket's operations are now on the right track and the employees no longer need his guidance. The supermarket can now operate normally even without him.
After watching Yang Guoqin get into the car, Ye Zhou rubbed his neck and returned to the lounge.
In fact, he didn't like dealing with Yang Guoqin. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Yang Guoqin, but the other party's identity made Ye Zhou feel distant.
In Ye Zhou's own dimension, the highest-ranking official he had come into contact with was the university president—if the president could be considered an official.
He returned to the lounge and lay down for twenty minutes before getting up, turning on the computer and browsing the system mall.
Since the system can send employees here, it must also sell livestock. Ye Zhou has bought horses before.
Ye Zhou searched for half an hour and finally found chickens, ducks and geese. In addition to these common poultry, he also sold cattle, horses, pigs and dogs.
Some machines and tools needed for farms are also available.
And the prices are not high.
Ye Zhou discovered that the prices in the system mall would not change due to changes in the plane.
For example, the price of guns has not changed whether in the previous plane or this plane.
Compared to guns, the stuff in the system can barely be considered cheap.
Ye Zhou wrote down the pages where these things were on the notebook beside him, and said as he wrote: "You can even let people jump between planes, so why can't you just improve the system? In my plane, all kinds of shopping apps are very sophisticated, why don't you learn from them?"
"I won't say any more. At least you can get me a shopping cart so I don't have to search all over again every time."
However, the computer is still as quiet as a chicken.
After Ye Zhou finished complaining, he looked at the time and found that it was already eight o'clock in the evening and he had not had dinner yet.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Ye Zhou asked Zou Ming who was sitting by the window reading a book.
Business has been stable recently and the supermarket has sufficient staff, so employees, including system employees and Ye Zhou, have started taking turns to rest.
Today it is Ye Zhou and Zou Ming's turn.
Zou Ming stood up: "Aunt Li is not prepared?"
Ye Zhou: "I asked her not to prepare mine tonight. I thought in the afternoon that I would not feel like eating at night."
Ye Zhou sighed: "It seems that we still can't make a decision in advance."
Zou Ming put the book aside and walked to Ye Zhou: "What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Ye Zhou was a little surprised: "Can you cook?"
Zou Ming: “Yes.”
Ye Zhou: "You know a lot, unlike me, who knows almost nothing."
"No, I shouldn't say that. Anyway, I don't know how to do anything in the kitchen except washing dishes and pots."
"I'm really good at scrubbing pots. When I was at home, I was responsible for scrubbing all the iron pots. My mother said that I was strong and that I could scrub the pots once more than she could scrub them several times. After scrubbing, the pots were shiny and looked like new every time."
After finishing his boasting, Ye Zhou still followed Zou Ming and ran to watch him cook.
While Zou Ming was cooking, Ye Zhou was beside him to liven up the atmosphere: "Actually, I didn't learn how to cook because I put all my energy and time into learning how to run a supermarket. When I was in college, I worked part-time in the supermarket whenever I had time."
"My mother always said that if I couldn't learn to cook, I wouldn't be able to get married in the future."
He sighed leisurely: "In my family, it's the men who cook. It would be weird if a young man couldn't cook."
When he heard the word "wife", Zou Ming's hand that was cutting vegetables shook and he cut his finger.
Blood beads slowly secreted out, fell onto the chopping board, and stained the leaves.
Ye Zhou was startled by Zou Ming and said quickly: "Wait a minute, I'll get you a band-aid!"
After getting the band-aid back, Ye Zhou motioned for Zou Ming to stretch out his hand. Zou Ming wanted to put it on himself, but Ye Zhou dodged to the side with the hand holding the band-aid: "You can't put it on yourself, let me do it."
"Why are you so careless?" Ye Zhou whispered in the tone of his mother scolding him, "Don't be distracted when cutting vegetables."
Ye Zhou was stunned: "No, it's all my fault for talking too much just now."
"I'll be out later and won't talk anymore." Ye Zhou reflected on himself and thought that even if he was a chatterbox, he shouldn't talk while others were cutting vegetables.
Zou Ming looked at Ye Zhou's earlobe when he lowered his head. He suddenly asked, "Do you want to get married?"
Ye Zhou didn't understand how the topic got to this point, but he still answered: "I don't know. I think this kind of thing depends on fate. If it's suitable, we can get married. If it's not suitable, we won't force it."
Zou Ming: "What do you mean by suitable?"
Ye Zhou: "...How should I describe this?"
"Maybe when you saw this person, you felt that you had to have him, right?" Ye Zhou sighed, "If you ask me, I can't explain it clearly. I'm a single person."
Zou Ming was like a curious baby who was persevering: "What does 母单 mean? Peony? Flower?"
Ye Zhou was amused: "No, I mean I have been single since I was in the womb and have never been in a relationship."
Zou Ming: "Never dated? Why? No one likes you?"
Ye Zhou smiled awkwardly: "Not really, it's just..."
When he liked playing ball in the past, girls would often bring him water and towels. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that the other party was interested in him. He was also willing to contact others, but they gradually developed into friends and he really didn't have any ambiguous thoughts about them.
At first, his female friends thought he was pretending to be unromantic - but later they found out that he really didn't have the talent for it.
He didn't know how to get along with female friends, so he imitated the model with boys.
For example, someone told him, "There's a milk tea shop outside the school, and I heard the taste is very good."
He could reply: "I don't drink milk tea now, and you shouldn't drink it either. It will make you fat and cause acne on your face."
Later he found out that the other person wanted to go buy milk tea with him, which could barely be considered a date.
The girls think he is a good friend.
Just be lovers.
Just inexplicably, Ye Zhou became friends with women and had quite a few friends of the opposite sex.
Ye Zhou also felt that he was a little unromantic.
Occasionally, when he reviewed the situation afterwards, he felt that there was something wrong with his approach.
But think about it from another angle, this may also be because he doesn't like the other person. If he really likes him, he would like him to the point of being excited, and the other person said that he opened a new milk tea shop.
Without the other party saying a word, even if the dormitory was locked, he would climb over the wall to buy milk tea and deliver it to the bottom of the other party's dormitory.
Ye Zhou: "That's because I haven't met someone I like yet."
Zou Ming looked into Ye Zhou's eyes: "What kind do you like?"
Ye Zhou: "...I don't know, what does he look like?"
Zou Ming: “…”
