They actually have food!
Those who were originally talking about it with disbelief on their faces also reacted immediately.
Crystal core!
They are going to get the crystal core!
Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo had never seen such a thin person, including the little girl named Xiaozhen. Her arms looked like only two pieces of skin were left, as if they could break with a slight force.
"Oh! God, I'm going to starve people to death!"
Lin Yunguo felt a little uncomfortable. This was really more unbearable than the previous famines. In the previous famines, although there was no food to eat, at least they could dig up some wild grasses and vegetables from outside. Some families could even raise chickens and ducks, or hunt birds and fish with fellow villagers. But now there is really nothing!
No wonder so many people were forced out to grab things.
"Sister, I also have five crystal cores here. Can I buy anything?"
The girl named Xiaozhen asked timidly. Cai Jianbin had already gone to get the crystal cores. She had five crystal cores in her pocket, which she used to replace stones when playing stone games alone in the house.
"Of course, kid, I'll give you five crystal cores in exchange for a braised egg. Would you like to have it?"
Su Jin looked at the little girl who was about the same age as Mao Qiqi. When she wanted to give the little girl another one, the little girl had already run into the room quickly.
At this time, Qi Liangliang also came down from the second floor holding a bag of crystal cores.
He still found his crystal core. In the past, when crystal cores could still be used to buy things, he had gone out with the team to kill some zombies. However, later on, supplies became increasingly scarce or even completely unavailable, so the crystal cores were left over. He originally thought that these crystal cores were no longer useful, but he didn't expect that he would be able to use them one day!
He's going to spend them all!
Su Jin simply took out a few large baskets and tables, chairs and benches from the space, and asked the family to sit together and count the crystal cores.
"You have 478 crystal cores in total. What do you need to buy?"
Su Jin asked Qi Liangliang.
At this time, some people came out with crystal cores in their hands. They all looked at Qi Liangliang curiously while he was buying things.
Some people also wanted to squeeze forward, but Su Xiangzhe and Lin Cheng maintained order on both sides and told everyone that everyone could buy supplies, which calmed down those who were worried about not being able to buy supplies.
"I want 300 crystal cores worth of rice and flour, half each. Do you have any ready-made food you can sell me for the rest? Instant noodles, biscuits, anything's fine!"
Qi Liangliang couldn't help licking his cracked lips. He was so hungry and wanted to have a full meal right now.
“We have instant noodles and biscuits, but they are quite expensive. I suggest you buy the flatbread, braised meat and eggs we make at home.”
Su Jin said that instant noodles and biscuits are non-renewable items in her space, so they are naturally priced very high, but ready-made food made from the things produced in the space is sold at a relatively low price.
Although no one knew why braised pork and eggs were cheaper than instant noodles, everyone rushed to count their crystal cores.
In the end, Qi Liangliang bought a white flour pancake, half a portion of braised meat and some braised eggs.
He took the food and sat on the stairs and started eating it with big mouthfuls.
Some children nearby couldn't help but gather around him, watching him eat while quietly swallowing their saliva.
"You guys want to eat too?"
Qi Liangliang asked with a mouth full of braised eggs.
The eyes of a group of children lit up, and then they nodded heavily.
"Then let me smell it for you."
Qi Liangliang held a piece of braised meat tightly in both hands, raised it in front of the children and said.
A little boy cried "Wow", but was persuaded away by the adults behind him. Everyone knows how precious food is, so who would be willing to share their food with others now?
The other children also pouted and wanted to cry. Seeing this, Qi Liangliang said calmly: "You all have relatives. Your family will buy food for you later. I, your brother, can only kill monsters by myself to feed myself. I am much more pitiful than you. If you don't smell it, I will eat it."
Seeing this, the adults and children waiting in line did not blame Qi Liangliang. This made the family feel a little surprised about the people in this robbery den. They seemed... surprisingly harmonious?
Su Jin noticed that the braised egg she had just sold to Xiaozhen had not been eaten. Cai Jianbin was standing aside holding Xiaozhen, and Xiaozhen was holding the braised egg and wanted to stuff it into Cai Jianbin. Finally, Cai Jianbin had no choice but to cut the braised egg into two and handed half to Xiaozhen.
Seeing the father and daughter sharing a braised egg, Li Xiuying felt a little sad. She took out two more braised eggs and gave them to the two of them, saying, "My granddaughter said that Xiaozhen is our first guest, so these two are for you."
The gift Li Xiuying gave was not much, and although it could arouse the envy of others, it did not cause jealousy.
Su Jin also gave her grandmother a thumbs up. Doing things within one's ability without being too aggressive and causing trouble for oneself was the principle her grandmother had taught her before.
"Girl, how much do you sell these raw eggs for?"
A thin woman came forward and asked, "It's really rare that there are still eggs for sale these days."
"5 crystal cores for one"
Su Jin said, showing five fingers.
Everyone was surprised by the low price. Only 5 crystal cores for one egg?!
The people behind saw that the basket of eggs in front was quickly sold out, and were getting anxious. But when they saw Su Jin take out another basket of eggs, they continued to queue with peace of mind.
Eggs are good things. Not only do they make you feel full, they are also extremely nutritious, so almost everyone bought some.
Cai Jianbin waited in line until the end to buy, so he had more crystal cores, more than 5,000 in total. This was because he was a level 4 wind-type mutant, and he had killed many zombies with his daughter before, so these crystal cores were all his.
Of course, there were some individuals who were jealous, but Cai Jianbin's words quickly diverted their attention: "Everyone has seen that crystal cores are not useless. If you still want to buy more supplies to support yourselves, you should go out and get more crystal cores. If anyone in the team has any bad intentions, we will all work together to kick him out!"
After all, those who had evil intentions were a minority. After hearing what Cai Jianbin said, those who had ulterior motives in their minds no longer dared to show anything.
Cai Jianbin also asked the two space ability users in the team to take out the crystal cores in their space. These crystal cores were obtained from their recent killing of zombies. Logically, everyone should have a share, so Cai Jianbin selected 10 people to uniformly manage the supplies purchased with the crystal cores.
Their team is not formed by like-minded people coming together, but more by people who just want to make a living, so it is not easy to manage the entire team.
However, his actions made Lu Hao admire him a little bit. He was a man of courage.
