Chapter 334 Food Rush
In the trading area, Zhou Qinghuan's bee-proof suit was seen.
As a result, Li Sijing's electric mosquito swatter business was not as booming as she had imagined.
Although Li Sijing was somewhat disappointed, she wasn't angry.
After all, she had anticipated this situation.
There will always be others who obtain the blueprints to deal with the insect plague; it's impossible for her to get all the benefits.
What's more, this person is Zhou Qinghuan, her close friend.
Li Sijing was not angry at all; in fact, she planned to buy herself a bee-proof suit.
After all, this bee-proof suit is truly an essential item in a world plagued by insects.
Wearing this bee-proof suit, she could get off the bus without any worries.
No more calculating the time, no more daring to get out of the car only when the insect repellent incense is lit.
Of course, the only concern is how effective this bee protection suit is.
She had already witnessed the corrosive nature of those little insects, whose bodies contained their own toxins.
However, we can't find out by guessing alone; we need to get a bee suit first.
However, Li Sijing didn't have a bee suit; she went to find Zhou Qinghuan instead.
Instead, I plan to trade directly in the trading area.
The price tag for the bee-proof suit is 15 units of metal, which is 5 units higher than that of the electric mosquito swatter.
However, considering its function, the price is not expensive.
Li Sijing spent 15 units of metal, and a black bee-proof suit appeared on the table.
She didn't look closely, and with a wave of her hand, she put it into her mustard seed space.
Then I continued, wandering around the trading area.
There was a lot of information in the trading area, but Li Sijing focused on the basic materials and food trade.
The exchange rate for basic materials has been basically finalized after a morning's work.
With this in mind, Li Sijing could confidently begin acquiring metal materials.
As for the price of food, it had actually decreased slightly when we first arrived in this world.
But as soon as the notification came out, the price immediately and irrationally soared.
The entire trading area was filled with people scrambling to buy grain.
Whenever food is traded, as long as the price isn't too outrageous, there are always a lot of people scrambling to buy it.
In short, after taking a stroll around the trading area...
Li Sijing felt that many people in the area had become irrational.
It seemed that only a sufficient amount of food could soothe their unease.
However, this is a good opportunity for Li Sijing.
Keep in mind, she still has over a hundred pounds of oranges in her hands!
Although oranges, as a fruit, cannot be used as a filling food, they can provide vitamins!
Most importantly, it is perfectly fine to use oranges as a food to eliminate toxins.
While people in the area are frantically grabbing food, it's the perfect time to sell everything.
As for the price, one pound of food can be exchanged for 10 units of wood.
Or 5 units of fabric, plastic, rubber, glass, or 2.5 units of metal.
The type of food has absolutely no relation to it.
Nowadays, any edible food costs this much.
Li Sijing, naturally, followed the crowd.
They directly priced the oranges at 2.5 units of metal per kilogram.
She has no shortage of the other basic materials, so there's no need to replace them.
Compared to the hundred or so kilograms she sold before, this price is almost 10 times higher.
Even so, Li Sijing discovered...
The 50 kilograms of oranges she had just put on the trading area were sold out in less than a minute.
Moreover, people kept asking below if there were any oranges left.
So Li Sijing put another 50 jin of oranges on the shelf, and they were gone in a minute.
The last 40 kilograms of oranges were put back on the shelves and sold out in just over two minutes.
The meal wasn't even finished, less than 5 minutes had passed.
Li Sijing had two harvests of oranges, totaling 140 jin (70 catties), and sold them all.
These 140 kilograms of oranges were exchanged for a total of 350 units of metal.
In addition, dozens of electric mosquito swatters have been sold during this period.
The number of metal materials in Li Sijing's hands has finally exceeded 2,000.
Based on this situation, she should be able to create the mustard seed space again in less than two days.
The matters in the trading area have been mostly resolved.
Li Sijing had almost finished her lunch, and only a few ears of corn remained on the table.
She used chopsticks to stick corn cobs in her mouth, munching on them while turning on a local channel.
Li Sijing wanted to find out what everyone thought about the game notification from earlier.
This is clearly the busiest time for the regional channels.
"Ugh, these bugs are so annoying, they're everywhere!"
"Yes, my car is practically a nest of bugs."
"Oh my god, these bugs are driving me crazy."
"I just finished frying a piece of meat, and then a bug landed on it. What do you think, should I eat it or not?"
"Advice from someone who's been there: cut off the parts the insect touched before eating it, otherwise..."
"Ugh, I didn't pay attention at first and let the bugs fly into the car. Now I can't get them out no matter what I do."
"Do you think if I upgrade my car now, all the bugs inside will disappear?"
"I know, you upstairs, you should try it and then share your experience with us."
"I've gathered all the materials to upgrade the car, but I'm hesitating whether to go ahead and upgrade it."
"I think it's best not to upgrade the car for now."
"I agree. Who knows what will happen in the future? It's better to keep some basic materials on hand to feel more at ease."
"Sigh, when it's extremely cold, I miss the extreme heat; when there's acid rain, I miss the extreme cold; and now I miss the world with acid rain."
"The key issue is that the insects are too annoying and the toxins are too frightening."
"The idea that eating food can eliminate toxins seems like a trap to me!"
"Knowing it's a trap, what can we do to resist?"
"By the way, has anyone tried using food to detoxify themselves? Won't your stomach burst if you eat too much?"
"Probably not?"
"Everyone, I'm starting to have difficulty breathing, what should I do?"
"Upstairs, hurry up and eat."
"It's cooking! It'll take a long time, and I don't know if I can hold out until then."
"Why bother cooking? Let's eat everything edible first."
"Exactly, it would be hilarious if the meat was cooked but the person died."
"It seems that from now on, we should focus on ready-to-eat meals!"
"Oh dear, I didn't expect this at all. The food we've been given away for is all meat."
