Chapter 196 Tens of Thousands of Crystal Cores
"Can I...stay here?" The woman said in a low voice after hesitating for a long time. If it weren't for Luo Xiaran's enhanced mental power, she probably wouldn't be able to hear what the other party said clearly.
"Of course, there is no problem." Knowing that the other party probably had some difficulties, Luo Xiaran didn't say much and nodded. Anyway, this canteen is not her territory, and it is not easy to raise a child after the end of the world. Luo Xiaran didn't care so much because the other party contributed a few crystal cores.
And as the woman traded, people began to come one after another. Most of them came to trade mixed grain cakes. Now fire is hard to come by. There are ready-made mixed grain cakes, so you can eat them directly when you are hungry. Besides, one red crystal core can be exchanged for three mixed grain cakes, which is enough for one person to survive for three to five days.
Of course, there are also exchanges for water, charcoal and the like. Wealthier women also exchange for large bread, shower gel and so on. Through the transactions with the survivors, Luo Xiaran can see that the safe zone managed by Gu Yiru is still quite stable.
By the time the canteen started preparing meals at noon, Luo Xiaran had already collected more than 3,000 red crystal cores and more than 5,000 white crystal cores. Although the white crystal cores are no longer useful to her now, the small fly legs are still meat, so Luo Xiaran still accepted them with pleasure.
While receiving these crystal cores, Luo Xiaran also took out several thousand mixed grain cakes and several hundred cornmeal steamed buns. White flour steamed buns and rice were traded the least, probably because everyone had learned to be thrifty in order to survive.
At noon, Jun Lie's team members and Yuan Zhongkai and others went directly to the cafeteria. Luo Xiaran asked for some soy sauce, vinegar and exchanged food with the chef of the cafeteria. Pickled cabbage, stewed potatoes with radish, a big pot of egg soup, and the cakes and steamed buns in Luo Xiaran's backpack, lunch was solved in a short time.
While eating, the two also discussed Yuan Zhongkai's share of supplies. Those who wanted to stay in the safe zone could get 1,000 kilograms of food each, and those who wanted to continue to follow Yuan Zhongkai would have their food exchanged for crystal cores by Luo Xiaran.
Perhaps because the food provided by Luo Xiaran was too good, only five people left in the end. Including Yuan Zhongkai and Dong Qing, there were nine people left. And all of these people were counted as part of Jun Lie's team. After all, many of Jun Lie's team members were soldiers, and they got along very well together.
Before the afternoon business started, many people who had received accurate information began to come up. However, since the cafeteria had not yet closed, Luo Xiaran was not in a hurry to open it.
Noticing the woman curled up in the corner holding a child, Luo Xiaran sighed slightly, but still soft-heartedly asked Jun Cheng to help make arrangements. The temperature in the cafeteria was still relatively low, and she didn't want the child who had taken the medicine to continue to burn.
It was already 2:30 in the afternoon when the cafeteria stopped operating. At this time, there were many survivors waiting for transactions in the cafeteria. The voices were noisy, the smells were mixed, and the air became turbid.
With a frown, Luo Xiaran still hung up the sign and started the transaction. She was busy until night fell. After counting, she found that there were already 8,000 red crystal cores and tens of thousands of white crystal cores, and even two orange crystal cores. The harvest was quite rich.
Just when Luo Xiaran and Jun Lie had dinner in the cafeteria and went back to rest, the brothers Gu Yiru and Gu Wenqing came to the door again...
