In the Mu Ling space, the family was chatting while eating dinner.
After learning that Su Jin and his team had finally arrived at the E City base, Su Xiangzhe specially opened a bottle of wine and said that he wanted to celebrate with a few grown men.
"If you want to drink, just say so. What's the point of celebrating?" Su's mother Lin Tianhui rolled her eyes.
"Hey, I found the good wine that Xiao Jin had collected in the space before. Let's go to the restaurant to have a drink while we're happy."
Su Xiangzhe's idea was strongly supported by several men, and even Lu Hao started drinking.
Su Jin didn't object. After all, everyone was resting in the space tonight, and there would be enough time for them to rest even if they got drunk.
"Is there any trouble in Guo Yang's store these two days?" Su Jin asked after taking a bite of braised beef.
"How could there be any trouble? Now we go over there to help during the day, and business is booming. Rice is the fastest-selling item, and we've followed Tianzhen's method and have people at the base bring their own containers to weigh the rice. We don't have to worry about running out of bags anymore."
Huang Yunxiang spoke eloquently, and now everyone in the base seemed to believe that rice was the most cost-effective and easiest to store material. Bulk rice had become a hot commodity in Guo Yang's store.
In addition, there are more and more people in the S City base now, so people have to queue up to buy rice in Guo Yang’s store.
Some people even analyzed that the rice in Guo Yang's space would eventually sell out, so everyone started to stock up on rice in the store. Guo Yang had no choice but to put up a purchase limit sign, otherwise he was really worried that the rice would be sold out before Su Jin came back.
"It's a good idea to have purchase restrictions, otherwise people will inevitably think too much," Su Jin agreed.
"Yes, I think we can also supply a small amount of flour next. After all, this batch of wheat looks like it's about to mature."
After Lin Tianzhen finished speaking, several women looked at the golden wheat fields outside Lu's house. The growth was so beautiful!
"Ahem, yes, Guo Yang should have some flour in his space, so he can sell it together."
Su Jin saw Li Xiuying looking worriedly at the wheat fields outside, so he quickly tried to divert her attention.
"Last time, I saw the brother and sister Wan Li and Wan Peng. I felt sorry for them. I don't know where they are now. I don't know if they will go to the base."
Li Xiuying said worriedly.
"Grandma, it won't happen that fast. They've been in the apocalypse for so long, and they're pretty good. They'll definitely be fine."
Su Jin comforted her. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her grandmother's thinking. The elderly would indeed feel more than them when they saw such things. Moreover, the topics of conversation between grandpa and grandma had gradually increased in the past two days. She could always hear them talking about the people and things they met on the road when they went out together. It seemed that it was very beneficial to take them out more often.
Li Xiuying nodded after hearing this. She hoped so. Every time she thought of the two siblings, she would think of Su Jin and Lin Xiuyuan, both of whom were trying to make a living in the apocalypse. She hoped that the two siblings would always be well.
"Grandma, can I take you and grandpa for a tour of this base tomorrow?" Lin Xiuyuan said.
He had already thought it through. They could act separately. Su Jin and the others could look up Dr. Pei's information, while he could take his grandparents for a walk and get familiar with the situation in the base.
"This...will people find out that we haven't registered?" Lin Yunguo asked worriedly.
"Grandpa and grandma, don't worry, it's okay. There are some old clothes in the space. I'll look for them later. Besides, there are so many people coming and going in the base, no one will notice."
After listening to Lin Xiuyuan's idea, Su Jin also expressed her strong agreement. The E City base is not big, and she feels relieved to have Lin Xiuyuan with her grandparents.
"I also want to accompany my grandparents with Brother Xiuyuan."
Mao Qiqi raised her hand and said that she also wanted to go shopping.
"Let Kiki come with us. She will definitely find it boring if you go to the administrative building," said Lin Xiuyuan.
So they finally discussed and decided that Su Jin, Lu Hao and Nie Qing would go to the administrative building together to find out Dr. Pei's information, while Lin Xiuyuan and Mao Qiqi would take the two elders around the base and inquire about the news.
Before leaving the space, Su Jin searched in the space for a long time before finding a few old clothes. These were clothes that family members had kept in the bottom of the box and were reluctant to throw away. When worn by Lin Yunguo and others, they looked like the people outside who made a living in the base with their gray clothes.
“I never thought these clothes would see the light of day again.”
Lin Tianhui smiled as she looked at the clothes that the two elders had worn when they were young and that were now fuzzy at the edges.
"Yeah, I just wanted to keep it as a souvenir before, luckily I didn't throw it away, hahahaha!"
Lin Yunguo laughed heartily. It seems that being nostalgic does have its benefits.
Su Jin and his companions were still wearing their coats from the day before. Although they were a little dirty, this was generally how people in the apocalypse dressed. This place was different from the S City base, so they might as well keep a low profile as possible.
…
Lin Xiuyuan held Mao Qiqi's hand and walked beside Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying.
Many people have already come out of the base, probably to see if there are any tasks to take on. Some are sitting on the side of the road holding a sign and asking to form a team.
"Grandma, do you guys see if there's anything you want to buy? I came out today and asked Su Jin for a lot of crystal cores!"
Lin Xiuyuan leaned over and whispered in Li Xiuying's ear.
They were now strolling next to some street stalls in the market. Although at first glance they were selling useless things, such as gold and silver jewelry, women's bags, men's wallets and belts, and even high heels and lipsticks, these things made the few people who hadn't been shopping for a long time interested.
“These things were very valuable in the past.”
Lin Yunguo squatted beside a stall selling gold jewelry and said that he never thought that he would see gold being sold on a stall in his lifetime.
The seller of gold and silver jewelry was a small man. He finally met a customer. Although he was an old man with simple clothes, he still introduced the jewelry enthusiastically: "Uncle knows the goods. These are all real gold and silver. They used to be sold in the counters of large shopping malls. Look at this gold Ruyi. It is big and solid. I guarantee you will not lose money if you buy it."
"Tsk, why do you introduce everyone to you without even checking whether they can afford it?"
A woman selling bags nearby rolled her eyes and said, what can those old men and women wearing gray clothes afford?
"Sister, you can't say that. We are all business people, whether before or after the apocalypse. If customers value our products, it's only right for us to introduce them to them."
The short stall owner seemed to be afraid of embarrassing Lin Yunguo, so he tried to explain himself.
"Waste of breath!"
The woman sneered and stopped talking. This jewelry business was not as good as her bag business. Who would buy jewelry on an empty stomach, especially for an old man?
