Chapter 178 Food Prices Drop Again
Li Sijing ate a plate of steamed dragonfish with garlic and a rice cooker full of rice, thoroughly enjoying her meal and feeling extremely satisfied.
After Li Sijing finished eating and tidied up everything, it was already 12:30. She encountered the low-level resource box again.
Li Sijing didn't plan to open the two low-level resource boxes; instead, she intended to take a nap first.
Even though it's lunch break, the bed still needs to be made properly, because it's so cold, and you don't want to catch a cold.
After expending a lot of energy, sleep is always especially sweet, and today's afternoon nap was just like that.
She was finally awakened when she encountered the fifth low-level resource box of the day.
A short 40-minute deep sleep completely rejuvenated Li Sijing.
She first put the resource box in the car so that Xingkong could continue driving, and then she made the bed.
After tidying up, Li Sijing took out an apple, peeled it, and then sat in the driver's seat, eating while turning on the regional channel.
By this time, most people had finished lunch and continued on their way.
Of course, there were also some people who had given up driving, so the area was not deserted.
Li Sijing glanced at it briefly, then climbed the stairs to check the previous information, and then went to the trading area to take a look.
Finally, the information was compiled, and it was found that during her lunch break, the price of meat had dropped to 15 metal units per pound.
According to some people in the area, the first person started selling fish and meat at 10 a.m. today and continued until 1 p.m.
Nearly 1,000 people have successfully killed large beasts and sold them in the area.
Each large wild animal yields at least 200 jin (100 catties), and even if they only buy half, 10,000 jin (5,000 catties) of fish and meat will still flood the market.
However, there are currently fewer than 10,000 people in the entire region, resulting in oversupply, which is why meat prices have collapsed.
Not only meat, but even ordinary food prices are declining at this time.
I wonder what the food prices will be like when it gets dark.
After finishing an apple, Li Sijing opened a bag of yam chips and a bag of palm-sized instant noodles.
After finishing her meal, she drank some hot water and then chewed a piece of watermelon bubble gum.
After replenishing her energy, she prepared to drive herself. To be honest, the road conditions were quite a challenge for her.
At 2 p.m., she encountered her sixth low-level resource box of the day.
She had already collected four resource boxes. She symbolically breathed on her palm and then opened them all.
1 unit of gasoline
[20 units of gasoline, 1 pair of rain boots, 1 shoe dryer, 2 pieces of cloth, 2 pieces of glass]
[Mineral water 550ml]
[5 liters of mineral water, 250g of lychees, 1 pearl hairband, 5 metal items, 5 pieces of wood]
High-calcium cheese sticks (15g)
[50g each of qingtuan (green glutinous rice dumplings), 100g of butter cookies, 10 x 20g of spicy shredded vegetarian steak, 2 pieces of cloth, 2 pieces of rubber]
[One pack of embossed handkerchief tissues]
[500g quicklime, 30 face towels, hair dryer, 5 plastic items, 5 metal items]
Wow, the things we found this time are really bizarre.
Gasoline was added to the tank as usual, and bottled water was placed in the tank as usual.
By the way, she has already collected seven 5-liter bottles of mineral water. If her car hadn't been upgraded, she probably wouldn't have enough to store them all.
If she gets any more, she'll have to start using bottled water, which is a bit wasteful.
There was quite a bit of food served this time, including five qingtuan (glutinous rice dumplings). She really liked them and ate one to try them out.
There was only one cheese stick, and Li Sijing simply tore it open and stuffed it into her mouth.
A small box of cookies is kept in the storage compartment, to be eaten as a snack.
Ten small packs of hand-shredded vegetarian steak are just what I'm looking for. To be honest, ever since she finished the Weilong spicy strips, her mouth has been practically tasteless.
He immediately opened a package and started eating while looking at the remaining supplies.
Place half a pound of lychees in the Mustard Seed Space to keep them as fresh as possible.
Besides these, the rest are just some everyday items.
Keep a pack of tissues under the windshield for easy access when needed.
The 30-sheet face towels are pretty good; if I use them sparingly, they can last a month. I've put away a pair of rain boots; I can't wear them now anyway.
A headband, which she can use right now.
She's been in this survival world for almost half a month, and her short hair has grown quite a bit, with her bangs even covering her eyes.
If she hadn't gotten a hairband, she was planning to cut her bangs herself with scissors in the next few days!
A shoe dryer, not bad, it's both electric and gasoline-powered, using one kilowatt-hour of electricity or one unit of gasoline per hour.
Li Sijing really needed a hair dryer, but unfortunately it could only be plugged in, so it probably wouldn't be able to use it in a world without sunlight.
Finally, there's the rarest item: quicklime.
One pound of quicklime was sealed in a small bag, and it was as white as flour.
So, where can this quicklime she produced be used?
This thing seems a bit dangerous; it heats up immediately upon contact with water. Is it meant to be sprinkled in water to kill large wild animals?
That's unnecessary! It's quite dangerous to do it that way. She might as well kill him herself with a javelin.
Unable to think of a use for it immediately, Li Sijing could only put it away.
Moreover, quicklime is so dangerous that it can't be left out indiscriminately. If it comes into contact with water inside the car, wouldn't it burn the car?
There was no other way; just in case, she had to put it into her mustard seed space.
All the supplies had been sorted out, and Li Sijing replaced the rice on the portable oven with a new batch.
Then she put on gloves and sunglasses, placed her hands on the steering wheel, and prepared to drive.
After Xingkong relinquished control of the car, Li Sijing immediately took over, her expression completely focused.
When the car is in the hands of the stars, it can travel at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour.
However, when it came to Li Sijing's care, for safety reasons, she had to keep a close eye on the road at all times.
They were afraid that they might accidentally drive the car off the road onto the ice, and they had to be constantly aware of situations such as the wheels slipping.
As a result, the driving speed naturally cannot be high, and can only be maintained at around 60 kilometers per hour.
This is because she possesses the basic Eagle Eye skill.
Otherwise, she estimated that she would have to drive at a snail's pace of thirty or forty kilometers per hour, just like everyone else in the area.
