Chapter 211 Door-to-Door Labor Service
Purple Whale i666: "It's been a month. I've been in this map for a month now. Do you know how I've spent this past month?"
Tao Nong: "I don't have much food left. Now, the first thing I do every day when I open my eyes is to check if I've entered a new map."
XiXi is about to become rich: "Sigh, I'm running out of food. I only eat one meal a day now, and I can't bear to eat it. This famine map is the longest we've ever experienced. When will it ever end?"
Nian0304: "I've been out of food since yesterday. I want to buy some food. Is there anyone willing to sell me some food? I'm willing to pay a high price."
Luo Lin: "I also want to buy some food."
Zhao Lan: "I still have some food here. Contact me and I'll sell it to you."
Apart from Zhao Lan, no one else responded.
Because none of them could be sure how long this famine map would last.
The six people in the group were also discussing this matter.
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "I see some players in the chat are already running out of food. This is not good."
I'm an unlucky person: "If any of you are running out of food, just let me know. I can hold out for a few more days."
The elderly man said, "Even if you have money, you can't buy food now. Everyone should eat sparingly. Perseverance is victory. We'll get through this period."
Drinking strong liquor to drown one's sorrows: "Yes, we should all eat sparingly, or we'll be in big trouble if we run out of food."
Chen Leying: "@Mengmeng, do you have any food left?"
Logically speaking, Meng Qingyin is raising a baby with a huge appetite, whose food consumption rate is the fastest among all of them.
But Meng Qingyin discovered that she had only eaten half of the food she had stockpiled.
Upon closer reflection, it becomes clear.
During this period, she ate at her master's house most of the time, so she didn't consume much of her own food.
Mengmeng: "I still have plenty left. If any of you are short of food, just let me know. Don't be shy."
After sending the message, Meng Qingyin suddenly thought of someone.
Aunt Wang, a large-scale chicken farmer.
When she went with her master to buy chickens from Aunt Wang's house, she knew very well that Aunt Wang's chicken farm was very large.
That……
The egg production must be quite high, right?
Perhaps she could buy some eggs from Aunt Wang and then resell them to the players?
Meng Qingyin was somewhat excited. If she could really make this deal happen, she could make a fortune from it.
She immediately teleported to Li the blacksmith's house and asked him to take her to Aunt Wang's house.
Without saying a word, Li the blacksmith led Meng Qingyin to Aunt Wang's chicken farm.
Aunt Wang was feeding the chickens when Meng Qingyin explained her purpose, stating that she wanted to buy a large quantity of eggs.
“Sure, since you’re buying a large quantity, I’ll give you a discount!” Aunt Wang was very happy, but then she frowned. “However, my chicken farm is short-handed right now, so you might have to collect the eggs yourself.”
Meng Qingyin was stunned. Was she supposed to pick up the eggs herself?
She glanced at the chicken farm; the chickens here were all free-range, and eggs were laid everywhere.
If she picked it up herself, wouldn't she ruin her back?
Seeing her troubled expression, Aunt Wang said, "You can also ask someone for help. Of course, I'll give you a discount on the eggs you collect yourself. I'll charge you 20 copper coins per pound. Normally, eggs cost 25 copper coins per pound."
These words reminded Meng Qingyin.
She can find people; Chen Leying and the others probably won't refuse this good opportunity to make money.
Meng Qingyin immediately sent a message in the group: "I'm at a chicken farm. Eggs are 20 copper coins a pound, but you have to pick them up yourself. Want to come?"
I'm a lucky guy (poor guy version): "This isn't picking up eggs, it's picking up money! I'm going to go, go, go!"
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Great, it's eggs! How long has it been since I've had eggs? Wait here, they'll be right there!"
I'm an unlucky person: "I'm rich! I'm rich! I have to go!"
The elderly man said, "I used to raise chickens at home, and I was the one who collected the eggs. I'm going to try it out myself."
Chen Leying didn't say anything, but she was the first to arrive.
Meng Qingyin asked, "Did you wear gloves?"
Chen Leying shook her head. "No." She looked at Meng Qingyin with a puzzled expression. "Why are you wearing gloves?"
Meng Qingyin's face showed a complicated expression: "The eggs were still warm, and some of them still had chicken droppings on them."
Chen Leying frowned. "I'll buy it now."
She quickly bought the gloves, six pairs in total. She gave one pair to Meng Qingyin first, and then took out a pair for herself to wear.
A moment later, Qin Jiu and the others were also teleported over.
Lu Cheng asked excitedly, "Boss Meng, how are you going to calculate our wages? Let me tell you, my Zhaocai can be counted as half a laborer."
Meng Qingyin asked in surprise, "Bringing wealth?"
Lu Cheng explained, "It's a little golden crow, symbolizing wealth and prosperity! I'm currently drowning in debt, so I hope to make a lot of money!"
Their small group is still named "Lu Cheng and His Five Creditors".
He has to work hard to pay off his debts!
Meng Qingyin: "I didn't bring you here to work for me; you're working for yourselves."
Lu Cheng immediately understood that no matter how many eggs they collected today, they would be theirs, not Meng Qingyin hiring them to work!
In that case, you'll definitely earn more than if you were just working a regular job.
"Let's get started collecting the eggs!" Lu Cheng led Little Golden Crow forward.
Chen Leying: "Gloves!"
Lu Cheng scurried back to get the gloves, "Thanks!"
Then he rushed off to collect the eggs.
Fei Qiu thought for a moment and said to everyone, "If you are tired, you can come to me and I will help you relieve your fatigue."
Physical condition directly affects work efficiency.
People with a constitution score of 10 and people with a constitution score of 5 have different upper limits for their perception of fatigue.
When fatigue accumulates to a certain level, the state will become "fatigue". At this point, even if the player can endure the fatigue and continue to work, the state will be affected.
However, the "fatigue" state does not allow this; it forces the player to rest until the state is eliminated.
Fei Qiu can eliminate the state of "fatigue" and quickly restore a person's energy to its best state.
The group had already guessed the unusual atmosphere between them, so they weren't too surprised to hear Fei Qiu say that.
He thanked her and went to collect the eggs.
Li the blacksmith originally wanted to help pick them up, but Meng Qingyin, considering his bad back, didn't let him do it.
Seeing that he couldn't help, Li the blacksmith simply went home to cook.
On Meng Qingyin's side, Zaizai and the three Snow Children worked together, picking up more meant earning more.
Even so, Meng Qingyin still felt that there weren't enough people.
As she bent down to pick up the eggs, she pondered whether she should hire other players to help her.
However, players have a system inventory, so she wouldn't be able to detect if they secretly kept eggs.
After thinking it over, she decided not to hire any players.
Unexpectedly, labor came to our door.
